Or is it?

I spent New Year’s Day at home almost all day.

The somewhat boring but relaxing monotony was disrupted by a rather innocent SMS from DX, one of the guys I hooked up with last year.

Though surprised coz I am not expecting any more holiday greetings that day (most greeted me on New Year’s Eve), I thanked and send him my greetings as well. He then asked if I’m not doing anything at the moment and would it be fine if he drop by our place.

I would have discouraged him and said no. But his timing couldn’t have been more perfect. The rest of the family is in Lucena to attend an aunt’s wedding and I only have my grandmother with me as company.

By 10:00 pm, he arrived. I really thought that he was just pulling my leg and wouldn’t show up, but he did. I supposed that we’d just talk for few minutes, catch up on each other and he would bid goodbye after no more than fifteen minutes of hanging around.

But he really wanted to stay. Good thing Lola is up at the second floor sleeping. The two of us alone, with the only lights coming from the TV - It wouldn’t take a genius to figure out what happened next.

We’re just holding hands discreetly at first but one thing led to another, well, almost.

But I felt uncomfortable, even in my own turf. I was a little edgy that Lola will wake up suddenly and find us doing what we’re doing. I cajoled him to just take a ride outside and go somewhere else.

And of we go. And after two hours of (whatever!)…

I don’t know if it’s the stars in the sky, the music on his car’s radio or just being stuck in the middle of nowhere – he proposed for a relationship – a serious one this time. I readily said yes.

First day of the year – and I already have a boyfriend!

I can’t imagine what the rest of the year would be.
