Fast forward five days later, my holiday in Singapore had come to an end. It was time to say goodbye to the big malls, clean streets, organized city and not forgetting Ryan and Max. My flight plans differed from my cousins. I was on an earlier flight and my cousins did not seem too willing to take my brother and me to the airport. Another knight in shinning amour appeared but this time it was Max. He offered to drive us to the airport. At first I did not take his words seriously because how could a stranger that I just met four days ago take me to the airport? I was apprehensive until he dropped me a text saying that he had arrived at the hotel lobby. It was six in the morning. I wondered what time he woke up just for this occasion. He lived quite a distance from the hotel. Dismissing my thoughts, I dragged my luggage and my annoying little
brother to the lobby. When I arrived, there he was. Standing there awaiting my arrival. Looking as suave as ever.
I was speechless. How could this stranger I just met make the effort to come all the way here early in the morning just to drive me to the airport and bid me farewell? But he did. He gave me a warm, tight hug before i went past the immigration area. The intensity of his hug said it all... He would miss me... badly. I was more than convinced he harbored feelings for me but he did not want to confess as he knew i had a partner waiting for me back at home.
As soon as I arrived home from the airport, i received a text from him ensuring my well being. I felt so warm inside. I couldn;t take this any longer. I confessed... " I like you max"... i was in shock... how could i just say that?
He replied... bearing his feelings out to me. My suspicions were indeed true... Oh boy... How was i going to break the news of me being attached to him now?
“Yes, i like him. Yes, i do have a boyfriend. Yes, i know what i am getting myself into.”
These thoughts echoed in my mind as i waited for his reply. I thought maybe he might step back when he knew that I had a boyfriend but it did not seem to deter him. I guessed that maybe this was just an infatuation breed through a holiday romance . I was sure it would go away in the coming days. He has many friends, most of them being girls. He is a nice
guy and he probably treats all girls the same and make all of them feel special. I could tell when I saw a number of girls we met while we were out waving at him with a soothing look.
I was so sure about the feelings fading. But, it seems that God had a different plan. I was lazing on my bed thinking about what he said to me when my cell phone started beeping. I thought It was a text from my boyfriend checking on me. But, when I opened it, it was Max telling me he just got conned and dragged to the cinema to catch a movie with my cousin. It was Madagascar 3. He said he wanted to catch the movie with me instead of him. I felt touched. Oddly touched. How did he know i was dying to catch this movie?
“HEY! ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME IN? OR, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO CONTINUE STANDING THERE ADMIRING ME?”
I should really stop daydreaming. That snapped me out of my thoughts and i proceeded to welcome him into my humble abode. We met... eyes locked on and we moved forward into... a warm embrace. That feeling. It was weird. I never felt this feeling before. Not with my bf or any of the past guys in my life... what is this?

Took me a hell lot of convincing for her to do it
... until I read the last line.
