Crazy little thing called love ... '
Loud music was blasting from the stereos of the quaint cafe, and I drank my soda water, smiling at the little girl at the next table, who was mouthing to the lyrics of the song. I glanced at my baby blue watch and I frowned. He was late.
'Hmm ... Why on earth does he want to meet me, at this hour of the night?' I thought to myself, reaching for the bunch of grapes on the plate before me.
Suddenly, Garreth walked in and smiled sheepishly at me. "Sorry I'm late, Liz." he said, as he sat down. I glanced up at my lab partner ... his strong, chiseled face, sandy brown hair and deep gray eyes and I quietly admired the sheer magnificence of it.
"Haven't we already handed in the Project to Mr Davidson, Garreth? Why did you ask me out tonight?" I asked him.
"I ..." he hesitated, "... wanted to talk to you, Liz." He looked up from his drink and stared at me. "I need to tell you something.", he added, his dark gray eyes full of meaning.
I raised my eyebrows quizically at Garreth. I knew what was coming.
"I think there has been a misunderstanding, Garreth. What do you expect me to do now? Get on my knees and give you a blowjob? I'm sorry, Gar, I don't do that to random guys. I'm not like that." I curtly said as I stood up to leave.
He reached for my hand before I could walk away. "Wait, I didn't mean it like that, Liz ..." he said, his deep gray eyes pleadingly soft. "Will you let me show you something?" he softly asked, his eyes boring into mine.
I hesitated, and I nodded.

He brought me up a hill, and we could see the beautiful night view of our university campus and the neighbourhood lights. "This place is beautiful ...", I whispered, admiring the lovely scenary that greeted my sight.
He gazed at me intently and smiled. "You know, you look so beautiful in the moonlight.", he softly muttered.
I cocked an eyebrow at him. "Duh!" I said, faking arrogance, and we broke into peels of laughter.
"Let me tell you a story ..." he said, his voice low and serious.
"Once upon a time, there lived a young man and a young woman. They grew up together, played together when they were kids, and studied together when they were teenagers. And just like in fairytales ... they fell deeply, hopelessly in love." he paused for a few seconds and glanced at me.
"But the man was not honest to her. And one day, they had a serious fight. The girl ran out of his house in anger, and he did not run after her. When he came to his senses and wanted to apologize, he found out that the girl had died in a terrible car accident."
"I'm sorry, Garreth ..." I whispered, not knowing what else to say.
"The young man was crushed. He never stopped regretting his actions, regretting that he never apologized to her, never told her how much he really loved her. The power of the love they shared was gone. It was the worst kind of punishment ever, to be left in loneliness and guilt like that. He knew that a part of him was destroyed ... and he thought that he would never have it in him to love anybody else anymore.", Garreth continued, his voice cracking with emotion.
He turned to me, slowly reached for my hands, and stared into my eyes.
"Until he met you... ", he whispered. "When you came into my life, I learned that I could laugh again, that I could smile again. I knew then that I was not a robot, uncapable of emotions ... And that I could even fall in love again. You saved me. Like an angel, you came into my life and gave me hope again, Liz."
I was moved and touched by what he just said, so much that tears were welling in the corner of my eyes. I thought about all the times we spent together researching, arguing, and talking about our dreams and goals ...
He moved closer to me and my heart skipped a beat. He leaned towards me ... I knew he was going to kiss me. I closed my eyes, anticipating.
And suddenly, an image of Mark appeared in my head ... Dear old Mark, his homely face and sweet smile, who was waiting for me back at home in Malaysia. Mark, my first love.
My true love.
I quickly stepped back before his lips touched mine.
"I'm sorry, Garreth," I gasped, "I can't do this ... I'm sorry!", I exclaimed, before I turned and ran down the hill, ignoring his desperate shouts.
I ran as fast as I could, and suddenly, it started to rain. I stopped running and stood in the rain, feeling the gentle raindrops trickling down my cheeks. I smiled. I knew I did the right thing.
Besides, Tom Welling look-a-likes? Not my type.
The end.
Errr, I know I'm narcissistic. So what? :p
I want to watch Memoirs of a Geisha. =(
