That is how long my new relationship is supposed to last. I do not know what to make of him on our first meeting, though I was determined not to be, uhm, ahem, penetrated. Figuratively, of course.
He sat across me yesterday as he made his observation about me.. I remember looking away most of the time, with my eyes up on their far left, not wanting to hold his gaze.
“You sound so detached.. and you don’t seem to have much emotions as you talk through things, which is pretty unusual.”
I shrugged and smiled dryly.
“I believe you have stashed your memories somewhere, and they will come out once in a while, and that perhaps explains why you are so forgetful these days, you don’t want to remember,” he commented.
I laughed and said that forgetfulness and clumsiness is probably just.. uh.. me.
“It is good to be forgetful ah,” I chimed with a girl pout and threw in a giggle for good measures.
Ai yah, this too, shall past. Like all things. Like many things in the past, and many people and things cease to matter, and indifference sets in. Just look beyond that timeline and hang on till then, and that will do. Or at least for me, cos I cannot control what others continue to feel. I continued crisply and matter-of-factly.
Surprisingly, he had asked to see me again soon. Next week, he said. I didn’t think he would want to see me for a while, knowing how he works.
I wouldn’t be around though.
“You need to learn how to relax, and not trying to live up to everyone’s expectations,” he quipped. “You perhaps don’t realise, but you are actually a strong person.”
I gave a crooked smile and looked up, with a pitch higher than usual “Of course. I am just tired, that’s all.”
That’s all you wanna see from me, so there goes.
*Gives fabulous, mega-watt grin*
See ya, when I get back.
On a totally unrelated note, I heard someone really charismatic saying “ARRRRRGGGHHHHHH” today. As in, the actual way it should be pronounced. And it was so sexy that I stared at him for a second longer after he said it with his tongue rolled.
