"Hi Sara, Kenji here"

"Oh hi. Surprised to here hear from you!"

"Was interrupted during our last conversation. Thought I’ll give you a call. Erm, free to meet up?

"Ok, should be fine. When and where?"

"How about tonight? Meet for dinner and maybe coffee is time permits?"

"I can’t. I’ve got school. Unless you want to meet me after school?"

"Ok. Text me the place and time to pick you."

"Alrighty. Cya."

There was no adrenalin between us at that point of time but he did prove his existence with his patience and persistence.

He started his own business not too long ago. Having to handle all matters on himself, he really does not have a lot of free time. Yet, he always make sure that he picks me up from work and Sunday will be spend with me, doing whatever I want.

Days, weeks and months passed. I still have not given him a reply as to whether we were an item or not. He never forced a answer from me nor insisted on one.

10 months have gone by. Thought that its about time to let him know my feelings. I’ve developed feelings for him over this period but as I’m still in contact with Ethan, I feel that it is not right to be with Kenji till I’ve sorted things out.

Text him my thoughts one morning.

(On my mobile) "Hey, need you to take leave for the next 3 days."

(his) "What for?"

(his) "I’ve booked a tour to Hong Kong. 4 days."

(mine) "So suddenly!"

"Yes! Unless you don’t wish to."

My inner voice was screaming. YES!!!!!!!!.

Trying to control the tone. "Well, I’ll try. Let me ask my boss first."
