Chapter 13
13th Rose (September 24)
Alcohol can blur one’s senses. But most people say that words spoken by someone drunk are words spoken by a sober heart. Was I sober then? When I did what I did? When I told her everything that I had kept inside me for more than a year? When I revealed to her every inch of my heart? When I kissed her, was I sober then? And when we made love, was my heart sober? It would have been easy to blame it on alcohol. It would have been easy if it was just a random girl. But then I can’t blame it on alcohol and it wasn’t any random girl. It was Cherry. And for the first time after one year, I followed what my heart wanted. No, not wanted, but needed. I needed Cherry at that moment. I needed her more than I have needed anyone, probably more than I needed Aya before. Would it also mean that I would need Cherry longer than just a moment? When the time comes that someone would read this journal, that person might think that when I made love to Cherry, I was thinking of Aya—that I imagined and wished she was Aya. But I beg to disagree. The whole time, I knew it was Cherry. I knew it was her lips I was kissing, it was her body I was caressing and it was her name I was moaning. And as I look at her sleeping figure in my bed I could not help but wonder if I did the right thing. Was I wrong? I know it was not right that this situation happened the way it did. But does it necessarily mean that when something is not right, it would be wrong? I’m not really sure. But what I do know is that in my heart, it felt right. When I held her, it was as if she molded herself in a way that she would fit perfectly in my arms. And when I woke up in the middle of the night and I found her snuggled beside me, I couldn’t help myself from thinking how beautiful it would be to wake up beside her everyday.I’m confused. I seriously am. After tonight, what would become of Cherry and I? What if she regrets what happened to us? What if she realizes that what happened tonight was a mistake? Or perhaps, what if in the long run, I realize that this was a mistake? What if after this, she would expect that there is already a certain commitment between us—a commitment which is something that I’m not sure I would be able to give. So many what ifs and I can’t even answer any of the questions in my mind. Most of all, I can’t give a final answer to the most important question in my mind and in my heart, “Do I love her?” Aish. Yes? No? I don’t know.

Honestly, I had a hard time writing this chapter. I had a 3-day seminar this week and I was itching to write this chapter. When I had the chance to write it I was torn being engrossed by what I was writing. It was so mushy. Ha-ha. Actually, I'm having doubts on this chapter. I'm not sure if people will like this or what. Now I know how Micah feels when she thinks about what her readers think. Anyways, I hope you guys like it. Comments would be highly appreciated. ^-^
