The girls came over. Like almost everyone else, we all rushed to get our dresses fixed, our make up done, our accessories up and the flesh tattoos transferred. All these while I tried to rid the nervous touch of fluttering butterflies in my tummy hoping it doesn't add on to the blush I was powdering on. Anticipating our meeting later on made me nervous, yes it still does. Especially since I'd be seeing you in a suit.
As you know my family and I go to marina bay sands rather often. The shops there, they sell luxury goods. From clothes to shoes, to bags and accessories. Whenever we walk past huge posters boasting their handsome male models all suited up, mama tan and I would whisper to each other about how men just look so... sophisticated. With that touch of masculinity hidden beneath, even a boy looks like a man. I must admit, throughout my 19 years, a whole lot of my mindset is shaped very similarly to my parents'. So traditional I may be. I do not fancy sweggggz. Suits are just a classic (I'm just saying man. It was a suit, right?)
Now that you know how dashing you looked to me that night, the flowers were just.. it was the flowers, Calvin. How you really hit the spot. You travelled your own way to my heart. Making my way up, nobody held flowers and when I was presented with it, I melted. I really just wanted to go 'awwww Calvin~~~'
but nah.
Not my style.
Just know that I really was overwhelmed. I was pleasantly surprised and it was very very sweet of you. The fact that nobody else had flowers made me hold them so much higher (in my head) and prouder. I no longer hide any more affection I want to express for you and towards the end, I was again pleasantly surprised to see that I am not alone in this.
You kissed me in front of our classmate. In fact, you kissed me in front of our classmates. Notice the triumphant smile I have in our photo?
Victory, nigga.
Fun and laughter is one thing. But I will not compromise your safety for anything else. Over time I have learnt how easily life is lost, how it only affects those close to said person and how much of an impact one person can cause. I tried to let you get your rest at macs, but to no avail seeing how you get shaken awake every once in awhile. All it takes is one second Calvin. Please, know that I do care and I genuinely don't want anything to happen to you. During the night it is no doubt a less congested road, but that does not mean it is any safer to drive under such a condition. You must stay safe. I'd never want anything to happen to you.
I'd wanted this post to be much more of a pen to my thoughts, but I got carried away thinking how the night was. I do apologize for this lengthy post. Thank you for everything love. My first prom was made complete with you there. Everyone and especially you were so beautiful. I'm so glad the girls forced you guys into going. Thank you so much.
