Intramuros Nights

I never thought that I reached this stage of life. Wandering on the nightlife streets of Intramuros, not minding the problems I have to face.

Here I am drinking my favorite hot chocolate dream from The Bean strolling around and glancing at the endless couples I'm passing by.

I'm happy and contented that I am still single but there are just times that I always thought, wouldn't be the situation be much better when I'm with someone?

Idling like a crazy woman in the streets, I have to wait for the right time, right guy. Would destiny work alone or should I help it? Then, I sipped again on my drink.

Gosh why won't my mind let me enjoy the beautiful surrounding I'm in? I can't afford to have another heartache in this place. Tsk, I think if I'm going to think through it, I should've just gone to a bar.

But peace is what I needed, the escape only I can find.

How could I avoid another one? Or should I say if I am boyfriend-less, how do I make these guys fall for me?

Am I being easy?

Or am I, just... real ugly?

Stopping me from my daydream, I felt my hot drink spill over on my hand and almost everything fell on the floor.

Whew.

I think you can figure it out yourself that... Tada! I bumped into someone! Is this the start of my destiny? Where I bumped into a cute gentle guy with a cheeky smile then there goes the sappy romance happy ending?

NO.

Looking up, I saw a decent-ish man (in my standards) that can pull up that bad boy look fashion easily.

While that whole internal monologue, I was blowing my hand as (duh) I got burnt from the hot choco I was drinking.

"I'm sorry! Let me compensate you by buying you a new one!" He said.

"You didn't really have to but if you will insist, I suppose we may go." I replied as I just wanted to finish the scene we have created as this guy gathers attention a lot not just from the women but from others as well.

The atmosphere around us was so quiet as no one wants to start talking but it isn't awkward as I thought it would be.

So as we are walking to the coffee shop, he asked.

"Don't I look familiar to you?"

I was startled because I actually took a second glance at his face before replying.

"I suppose we just met the first time today." I replied.

He actually has that cheerful aura that is kind of opposing to his get up right now.

"So can I ask why are you strolling alone?" He said.

"Hmm. I just wanted to take time for myself and also for the last time, I wanted to let go of the old memories I had here. I guess it isn't bad that you bumped me so my memories were replaced with coffee and you now hahaha." I joked.

I noticed that we are nearing to the coffee shop so we started to find a comfy seat for us to drink.

"I know your order from smelling it from the spill earlier, go take a seat and I'll order for you." He smiled as he lined up to order.

As I am waiting, I am asking myself, why would I come with him in here if I can just ask for money and leave? Maybe he is just cute and the other side of me was hoping that we can (you know) click to more interesting things. kekekeke
