One-week love

I haven't been writing for about a week and that's because I have been waiting for it to somehow conclude, so I can pen it down, in the most beautiful way possible.

Yes, this is going to be a 'love' story, albeit a rather short one.

Received a text on Jack'D exactly a week ago from him who only had three professionally taken studio photos.

I was a bit surprised because I don't normally get messages from 'this sort of profiles'. (They normally go for guys with topless pictures, flaunting their abs)

Yes, I was surprised but I wasn't being 'desperate'. I replied, saying thanks and demanded for 'other pics' as the ones he had were taken with shades. At that point, I didn't expect him to reply but he did, with two more 'everyday' photos of him.

I was 'quite happy' with the photos. Not drop dead gorgeous but enough to stimulate my interest. (I think I'm kinda superficial?)

On Monday, I texted him and asked if he would like to meet up for coffee.

Oh, by the way, I've always made it clear on my profile that I am not looking for ONS/Fun.

I waited for him at Guylian, at the Harbour. He texted me and said that he would be running a bit late.

I was kinda nervous as I didn't know what to expect. What if he looked so different from his pictures? What would happen next if he looked too delicious? Would I be able to carry myself well?

Anyway, he turned up just on time. Gosh, he's so Gorgeousss!!!

His eyes, his head, his specs, his smile, his hair. When all these good elements get combined together, it's a super charming person.

Obviously, when you go on dates, food is not important at all. We just ordered some waffles and fruits to share and tea. Perfect. As I had told him that I don't drink.

He's 36, but he looked like 26 the most. Born here but relocated to HK because of work. His mum is living here so he comes back a few times a year to visit.

We chatted well. Initially, he said he's 'working' in a company doing some design stuff. But I found out later that night that he actually owned a company. And, sadly, he's already got a bf. In an open relationship, he said.

That moment when he told me that he's attached, my heart sank, but I managed to hide my disappointment.

We walked around the harbour after Guylian. I kinda know the area better than him since he's away from the country most of the time.

I brought him to a perfect dating spot. (No, I wasn't planning anything. Just showing him around.)

We talked more about our interests, our lives, etc.

He kept telling me that 'I'm cute'. He caressed my lap and I let him. We hugged. I didn't resist. I guess I've been waiting to hug or to be hugged for a very long time. If you've been following this space, you would know.

He's kinda sporty. He talked about sports he's into. He's so full of energy and passion. I already started to like him.

We then walked to this playground at the harbour. It's a nice place. During the day, there will be lots of kids. At night, the adults would come and play.

Actually, in the past, my ex was very into this playground. I always said to him 'dun wan lah, I dun wan to play, you can play and I will watch'. Yes, I am a very uptight person. Sometimes, even so when I am him.

But I had a lot of fun that night. We played the slide, the swings. And, he held my hand.

The feeling was beyond words. It was warm, I felt loved, and being cared for. I am falling for him.
