Chapter 1 - Ordinary me

My name is Laylea, age 23 and I got married last month - 12 December. I met my husband, when I was 16 years old. Yes, the age where other teenages party all night and hang out with cool hunks and find someone to entertain them for a period of time. The sad thing is I am not a very attractive woman I can say, I don’t have a pretty face nor a sexy body. My social life is pretty boring too, I went to school and hang out with my girls then went back home to on my computer. So yes, my memories / childhood / teenage years are not that fantastic compare to others.

I met Gabriel through the online site, he was attached when I met him. BUT I am not a third party! Like duh .. we chatted a while and we click right away. We will try to get online everyday and talk, with him tell me how’s his day like at work and me sharing my school days. 

We did not exchange contact number immediately as we just merely know each other and he was attached at that time too. About one month later, Gabriel asked for my number and I am not sure whether to give.. In the end, I gave him a incorrect number which is just 1 digit wrong to the real one. A few days later, he found me online. He said that he tried to call me at the number I gave. Ops, I confessed for my playful mistake and he forgave me right away. He asked for the real one this time and called immediately after I typed out. Weeks passed, and we communicate by both phone and computer.. Gabriel will share with me his problems at work and girlfriend thing and I became the advisor somehow.

About 1 month later, I am attached to a senior in my school. His name is Micah, age 17. We knew through the club activities that we both joined. He asked me out one time and told me that he liked me for quite some time. Thereafter, we got together. Micah helped me in my academic and taught me a lot too. Like graffiti, he would show me how to do it and I would try under his guidance. It was awesome! I am happy around him and he cared a lot for me. It’s been months after we started going out, everything is smooth for us. We try not to let others know that we are together, we tried not to behave intimately in school and meet at club activities.

Chapter 2 - Butterflies

 

One day, when I am having dinner with Micah for our monthsary, I received a text from Gabriel asking if I am available to meet him. Something happened he said. I told him I am outside with my boyfriend, and asked about what happened. No reply from him back.

After the dinner, Micah sent me to the train station and went home. I called Gabriel and he picked up. “Hello.” He sound sad and drunkish at the same time.. Oh this is not the first time we spoke on the phone.. So yes, I asked him about what happened.

“I broke up with my girlfriend.”

“Sorry to hear about it, where are you now?” I felt worried at that moment, he’s not that kind of guy whom will mention a break-up in a relationship. Several times we spoke on the phone, he will bring up his girlfriend at times and told me about their quarrels.

“I am at a bar near Smith street.”

“Are you even old enough to enter it, that’s fine. Send me the address and I will be right there.”

“Okay.”

So I hang up, and alight from the train, took a cab to the address that he sent me.

I reached the entrance of the bar (Drink Your Sorrows Bar), “Ya right, drink your sorrows” No wonder he chose here. So I called him and asked him to come out, this is the first time we met each other in real life after all the chatting, laughing, and being his advisor. We do saw pictures of each other before from the online site, but things can be different you know. He can be a psycho or turn out to be a freak too..

The door opened, a young tanned looking guy came out. He looked at me, “Laylea?” he said. I stood still and don’t know what to do. He’s like so adorable and handsome to me at that moment. He poke me and asked “Are you Laylea?” And I came back to reality and nodded my head. He laughed, “And you really turn up when I mentioned that I am in a depressed mood outside a bar at this hour” It nearly midnight, the streets are empty and I have school tomorrow. I did not think about all these at all, I just feel that I need to be here. He saw me standing like a log and not saying anything.

 

“Alright, let’s get you home safe now shall we. We should be able to catch the last train! Come on!” We board the train, and I am still not saying anything. I am not sure what to say, this is my first time meeting a guy who I met online. “Hey, are you okay? You have not been saying a word since just now.” He asked in concern. “Yes, I am fine. I can’t belived that I am here now.” “Oh yes, this is our first meeting. Now I get why you were so stilled earlier. But that’s for coming, I appreciate it.” He smiled back and made my heart fluttered.

“What happened to you and your girlfriend?” I can’t helped but ask.

He hesitated for a while before answering me. “Well, I caught her with another guy at a dining restaurant. I was shopping for her birthday gift which is coming next week.”

 

“She was shocked when she saw me, she tried to explain that it’s her mistake to betray me.

She kept talking and none of her words get in to me at all, I shoved her away and give the guy a punch. The guy got back at me and we fought in the street. But thanks to my usual training with friends, I am not hurt anywhere and protect myself from his hits.” He smirked.  “I pushed him away from me, and he went to my girlfriend and took her away. Leaving me behind in the middle of the crowd.”

 

I listened attentively and waited. “So I was wandering around, sitting at the bar I found then thought of you. Feeling the urge to talk to you” He looked at me. My body felt hot and don’t have the courage to look back into his glazing eyes.

 

“Kovan Station” I heard, I stood up and thank him with a bow for sending me home.  He told me to be careful and continue the last train home. When I was on my way home, I felt a vibration from my phone. I saw 2 missed calls from home, and 5 from Micah. I have totally forgotten to let Micah know I reached home safely. I gave him a text to let him know that I was bathing and drying my hair, yes I lied. But I can’t possibly tell him I went off to meet another guy whom I don’t know at all. Then a text came in, Gabriel.

“Heyy Laylea, thanks for making the trip down. I really appreciated your showup. Even though this is not what I imagine for our first meet up but I would definitely make it up the next time!”

 

 

Chapter 3 - Sparks

 

When I reached school, I saw Micah talking with a girl from his class. I interrupted and greet Micah with a hug. We found a place in the caferia and talk before the class start. “Sorry that I forgot to update you last night, you must be worried.”

“Is alright babe, as long as you are fine.”

At that point of time I felt guilty towards Micah for hiding the truth about Gabriel. So I asked him out after school and catch a movie in town.

After school, I met Micah at the school gate, and we went to town for the movie. We had lunch first and chatted about school and mutual friends we have. So far, Micah and I have reached stage 2 in relationship goals. To me, Stage 1 – holding hands, Stage 2 – Kissing, Stage 3 – Getting into pants and last but not least – Sex.

During the movie, Micah put his hand around me. I am okay with it since he was my boyfriend and this is what couple do. Sometimes he will kiss me and we basically miss out half of the movie.

 

June is here, the holiday period that everyone is looking forward to. I scored well for the examination so I do not need to stay back for the remedial classes.

Micah is going away to visit his external grandparents located in Indonesia Bali for a week. My parents decided to stay back in Singapore and not going anywhere as they have major project coming up in office recently. Yes, they worked together at the same office. So they leave and return back at the same time. We do travel the last time when I was younger and they are not that busy though. 

So I guess I am gonna be alone til Micah return. It’s been a month since I met Gabriel. We do exchange texts but he did not ask me out at all. He is currently working at some IT company in town.

 

Then a text came in. “It’s holidays for you right! Any plans during this one month break for you?” – Gabriel

“Nah, my parents are busy with their work and my boyfriend is out of town this week.”

“How about meeting me? We could go catch a movie!”

Hmm, I am considering this. Would it be weird if I agreed to his offer? But I can’t possibly cope up at home the entire day.

“Okay!” I replied

 

Gabriel came pick me up at Kovan train station. I did not specially dressed just to meet him but I did tried to put on some light makeup. We board the train and alight at Punggol, two stations away. “Where
