And so I left him there hanging.

We were only a few blocks away from the house so I ask the driver to pull-off and bid farewell to the guy I'll surely miss.

I dove and dozed off onto my king-sized bed. When morning came, I immediately composed a message, "Good morning, B? :)", and had my brunch.

"And B is for? Hahahaha good afternoon!".

"B for baby? Hahahaha." I casually replied.

"Hahahaha now you're calling me baby after putting hickeys on my neck. My mom kept on teasing and asking who the lucky girl was.".

" I'm guilty. How bad is it? Sorry." Not sorry. I lied.

"Nah, it's fine. But my birthday is coming right up and since you're my baby now, we have to celebrate. Hahahaha."

And that's a problem. I've been thinking how I can spend it with him but there's just no way I can go so I'll have to be honest. "Sorry baby, but I don't think my aunt would let me out. It makes me sad and mad already! She's very old-fashioned so can I just be the first person to greet you a happy birthday? And the first person to congratulate you on your upcoming graduation? You don't know how much I want to be there for you and celebrate all the important occassions and events in your life."

"So can you let me hear it now?".

"Advance happy birthday, baby! I really want to be with you on your birthday but that'd be impossible. So right now, let me tell you that it feels like I am the celebrant. It's your birthday soon but why am I given the best gift anyone could ever have? And that gift is you. Thank you baby, thank you, I can't thank you enough for making me happy. And congratulations on your upcoming graduation. You made it, but do you really have to? Because if yes, how am I going to see you then? How am I going to live another day without your presence? So will it be fine if I appear in your house one day? How about in your bed? Better, right? Because I right now, all I want to do is wake up and sleep next to you. What exactly did you do to me? This is me telling how much I miss you every single day." Sending...

"Baby, I am speechless!". You should be. Ha!

"Hey, that came from my heart and all you can say is that you're speechless? I am going mad!".

"It's just that.... Why am I hearing all of these from you? What happened last night? The kisses? The long and sweet and fun-filled convos with you?"
