Misled Hearts (Part 2 of 3)

Unexpectedly, it just so happened that some of the people joining us on the event knew Dee and invited her to come along. Anyone can just imagine what a guy would do to get to know this girl better, and at a rare occasion in my life at that! I never got to talk to Dee that much, talking with my friends about other matters as presentations and activities for the year. Dee left early, and I could just say goodbye flash back a smile towards her direction. I slowly inquired with my friends about this new girl. The response came with a lot of sarcastic faces, teasing erupted and all I could do was blush again. What a night!

The information I got was staggering. It just so happened that this girl is my neighbor as well! Call it fate, call it whatever, will things cease to amaze me! Such a small world and I never knew that a pretty face resided at the back of my place! The term ran rapidly, getting to a point that I eventually graduated. But I got Dee’s number and regularly checked on her, exchanging pleasantries, about old stuff, and helping her out on some school projects since she had a year left before graduating as well. Each moment spent was cherished and we became close, too close that I sometimes wondered, “Should I pop the question?”

I decided to hold back, ask her out and bring her gifts on special occasions. She would do the same, cook for me some special delicacies, and give me chocolates and all. Close as we became, she would scold me when I would pass on my meals, check on me every once in a while to see if I was ok. This was a girl I would love to take care of. But would she allow it?
