After 2 years of successful hidden desire / stalker mode, i finally got the chance to know more about this crush whom i never thought i would have a word ever. No guts no glory indeed, it takes some few courageous moves to possibly give chance for fantasy to be reality. until now I’m dumbfounded by the fact that i got the chance to meet him in a not-so-casual-nor-business-like situation. Whoa. I’m wordless, the few minutes encounter echoes in my mind bringing back the photographic screen shot of what happened earlier this morning.
History:
I am living in UST area where the most economical means of getting to Makati is riding a shuttle. But these shuttles / FX taxis are not easy to find, you have to walk around and find them literally where they pick off passengers or be forever late by taking the longest line for some shuttle terminals at Blumentritt-Laong Laan or Suki Market. The line is not that long, but few shuttles drive back and forth to carry professionals to Makati so you have to wait for them to get back and have your turn. You can not blame them if not for them commuting to makati would be a financial hell taking cabs or detours that will cost more than waiting for a shuttle.
So as i wait in line, i survey the scene to make waiting worthwhile. Some co-passengers were good-looking and all but there are these several shuttle owner and drivers that can even make my day with just a simple smile or look. I can’t say they are just drivers because most of the vans were white-plated. Private vehicles trying to be public vehicles. Hehe. Meaning they own the customized shuttles and this is just a sideline to increase their bread production.
My shuttle guy is not so handsome nor cute but he appeals to me a lot. As in A LOT. For two years, i secretly smile everytime i see him around and my day would be complete if i rode in his black van painted with red flames with plate number ***.*** having his code name *-* in their radio language which i have mastered. He is tall, not much of a hunk, mestizo and oozes with sex appeal. His eyes glitter with a touch of kissable pouting lips. Hmmm. OMG, i’m really attracted to him. haha. There are times i fall back iin the back line just enough for teh headcount for me to be in his van. By that simple seating on his van, my day is complete and im super inspired. A glance from him is enough to make fall onmy knees. But all these admiration and desire were supressed, it will never happen to meet him and know more about him.
My stalking history started by knowing his name by not asking but probing, then taking note of his time of arrival and departure, his code name, plate number and all. What made my stalking serious was more than a mental note about him, it is documented. Yes, i have this dreaded diary / journal where all my mischievous fantasies and encounters are detailed and saved.
In short, for two years, i have engulfed myself of scenarios meeting him, knowing him more, talking with him, and other stuffs. But reality bites that i can never meet him.
When it rains, it pours:
My team will be having its team building this weekend in lipa, batangas in bluerozefarms. All the preparations were done except for the transportation. No one from our team would want to drive to and from batangas neither one would want to bring their vehicles as well. So we decided to rent a van, alas. My dream started to sweep me off my feet. It has been a month since I thought about asking the shuttle guys if we could possibly rent their van for our team building but i didn’t have the courage. So i thought the dream would just be a dream.
On my way to work this morning, I was lucky enough to ride my shuttle guy’s van and seat beside him. This was the first encounter i could really get close to him, brushing elbows while he is driving. I stared at his adorable face on the mirror and he caught me several times looking at him with not just plain looks but with a look of desire and admiration. haha:)
I volunteered myself at the office to have a share of the preparation, I’ll be the one who will find contacts for the transporation. I used the volunteerism principle a driving force to have the chance to meet my two-year crush finally. And what a lucky day, I rode his shuttle this morning and seated beside him.
At first i dunno how would i open the topic to him, so i texted my team manager asking her of the maximum budget. So for the mean time, i enjoyed looking at him in a discreet way though i know he noticed he knew what i was doing. When the shuttle arrived at makati post office several passengers went down already with my co-seater. Inside the shuttle we were almost a handful left, I started blurting out, “do you know someone whose van is for rent overnight?” he said he had no idea. Then the talk was spontaneous. I can drop off by Rufino Street and walk but i opted to stay and just drop off in Citibank in Paseo which is a longer cut, but who cares this is my moment with my crush. During the conversation, he offered to give me his contact numbers so we can communicate if whether or not the plan will push through. Whoa. Though i expected it to happen, i was still surprised when we exchanged numbers. Grabe! Wheeew. Then we talked about our lives, the team building, if i am just a student in mapua or somewhere, his daily routes, his earnings and his psat work in a warehouse office something in makati. I can’t handle the flow of information and emotions. this is it. The realization of my fantasises, two years in the making. by the way his name is ******.
We parted ways with a smile, i was stupid enough to forget the handshake, but as i was walking i thought of sending him a text message. Good thing he replies until now.
I may be over acting but getting the means to know your crush and actually have interaction is one of the joys of life money can’t buy.
Our team might not get his van and his services for our team building but having his number and the chance of getting him known and he knowing me is far greater than my wildest dreams with him.
If not for him, crush course would have not been born. The category in my blog talking about crushes and close encounters with them.
