Being In Love – Part 5
A few days later, Online Buddy asked me to be his girlfriend. There was this couldn’t-help-but-smile moment. And I said yes. I figured he couldn’t do anything to hurt me since he was overseas.
Still hung up on the ex, I focused all my energy into forgetting the ex and drowning myself with Online Buddy’s attention. I’d ask him if he could stay until I fall asleep, so I won’t have time in between being asleep and awake to think of ex. He worked during the night, so we basically had the same bedtime. He’s about 12 hours behind.
I felt so sorry for him. He stuck with me even though he knew that I was still hung up on ex. I wanted to let go of him, because it was being unfair to him. But I couldn’t. He was the only thing I looked forward to everyday and I couldn’t bear not hearing from him.
It took me almost eight months, six inches off my waist and seven kilos (15.4 pounds) off the scale to get over the ex. Time really can heal you and having someone supporting you and feeling the love definitely helps. Oh, and it could make you look even better too.
Old friends would say that I have changed so much. That I was much sharp-tongued, more sarcastic, and that I stare people dead in the eye now. My standards also went up. I was ore strict and became a perfectionist. I wanted everything to be organized, since ex was extremely messy. Let’s just say I grew up and learned to stand on my own feet.
Online Buddy teased me by calling me Honey, which eventually grew on the both of us and we started calling each other that. Most guys would not admit to their feelings, it’s like their macho image is flawed if they did. Before everybody starts thinking that Online Buddy’s a fifty-something-year-old dude like a lot of Filipinas seem to find, he was 25 at the time, and I was turning 22.
Honey is a very pretty guy.
