It was over something small and I walked away from you, even though I knew you abhorred that. You threatened to leave if I didn't come back, and so I did. You walked off to smoke. I followed behind you quietly.
You lit a cigarette. You tried to walk towards me but I didn't budge. I pointed to a seat and said I needed to sit down. I walked over silently. You sat down beside me and waited. I apologized. And you snuck your finger into my fist, trying to hold my hand.
Then I started to sniffle.
And before I knew it, I started crying.
And you, poor you, got startled and hugged me tightly asking what's wrong while stroking my head slowly. And I continued crying and crying.
You picked me up and put me in your lap. I continued burying my head in your arms while crying uncontrollably. You bought my face up and made me look at you. I had teary eyes and my nose was red. You broke into the biggest smile and squeezed my cheeks, going, "Why are you so cute even when you cry?" and I cried louder.
And you patted me and asked me sternly if I was trying to get my nose to match my hair color. I ignored you and continued crying and crying. You took the tissue from my balled up fist and wiped my tears for me.
Then finally, the sobs receded into small sniffles. You stroked my head and asked if I still want to go to FunFest as we planned. And I nodded. And you happily picked me up and we made our way over.
Throughout the day, I kept telling you I want to cry some more when we reach your place later. You laughed and asked why and I said it's because I feel like crying whenever I bury my face in your arms. You then quickly tried to push my head away. Then I started to sniffle and you quickly pushed my face back into your arms again.
And I felt like the most blessed little thing.
We reached the FunFest and started on the rides!
Gabriel was at first super self-conscious because the place looked like it was for kids but I didn't care and went ahead to get excited at everything! So I dragged him to the only slide with a queue!
We were supposed to race to the end, but I got stuck at the second hurdle and he had to push my butt over the obstacle. I fell on my face and slid around and waited for his fall and we laughed together heh heh.
After that, we headed to the foam pool!
I like how he always kisses me on the forehead last.
Like he'd plant kisses on me everywhere but he always leave a last one for my forehead. Also I've never realized how little attention I pay him until he captures it in photos. Awww my lovable man.
He likes squishing my face.
This was a vertical slide and I tried to slide but I sort of jumped at the end and sprained my butt heh heh. So I had to nurse it by grumpily laying on the beach while the boyfriend massaged my butt as discreetly as he could.
He decided to go out to sea and when I refused to move, he swam over and carried me in his arms. And I laid on him happily till he tried to put me down, upon which I realized I can't reach the sand and I freaked the fuck out. He quickly picked me back up and walked back to shore.
But it was wonderful. The few seconds before I was drown-ready. He was kissing me and telling me he loved me. And in that moment, the rest of the world faded away and he stood out like the only beacon I'll ever need.
We went on a couple more bouncy castles afterward and my god it was so much fun. I kept wishing I bought my sister and brother too. But it was funny as it is, watching Gabriel skid down slides and slam into every bouncy pillar in the way.
Free kisses for the boyfriend!
Who claimed it shortly after :)
I saw a husband's corner and thought it would be the cutest thing if he would sit in the ball-pit provided and pretend to look really sad. And without a second word, he obliged! Hence my favourite photo ever:
Heh heh.
I also managed to convince him to sit in this dunk tank. And we got quite a crowd hahah everyone wanted to see him fall and me fail. Me fail because I made three missed shots before I threw one that hit the eject. He fell quickly and came out happy hehe. Most sporting boyfriend ever!
And that concluded our FunFest!
We bogged down by bathing woes (we only had a towel) and I didn't expect him to be in a good mood so soon, but as we wandered to the cable car, he got so amazed by this new structure that he insisted we went up.
We had to take a lift up and when we reached the top, he got ridiculously excited and started exclaiming, "See! We bungee jumped from this height! Baby come look at this," and made me look down to check.
And we got the most glorious views.
We took photos from every backdrop possible and during one of the shots, he took a look at the final photos and smiled. He pointed to a photo of me smiling with my mouth half open and then adoringly gushed that he loves it, that I look the most sincere with that smile.
I think I blushed a new shade of red that day.
Headed out to the cable car after that!
It was his first time taking a cable car in Singapore so he was quite surprised when I told him about the incident at Mount Faber. He refused to believe it till I showed him a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia never lies.
He took this slew of photos and I zoned out halfway because usually he takes about 100 then he gets lazy, but this dragged onto 380 and it was him kissing me while I passionately retold the cable car disaster hahaha.
So he scrolled through the photos afterward to point out to me how often I ignore him. And I was guilty and hence in the next stream of photos I kissed him more. MY GOD I'M TURNING INTO A SAP WRITER.
But who gives a shit, I'm happy!
And finally we headed home.
He has this wonderful habit of telling me how beautiful I am when I wear his clothes. Wearing his clothes makes me feel snuggled and loved but it is so unflattering, I worry he'd think I'm kicking down on the effort I place for him. So it's always wonderful when he assures me otherwise.
I was on my monthly subscription and hence was really in pain and grumpy but he kept soothing me and bringing me hot water. And I felt bad I couldn't give him some loving for the road, until I remembered, hey my mouth's not in pain, and I excitedly told him so.
And he wore the silliest smile and whispered his love again and again. And suddenly my aches ebbed away and we had ourselves a session to remember.
I made him take my baby cloth with him to sail. And he did, sneakily trying to spray his cologne on one end because he says the scent brings him home. And I suggested spraying my perfume on the other end. And he smiled that gorgeous smile of his.
On the bus I was clinging onto him and smelling him and grabbing as much of him as I could before he left. He was looking through our photos of the day and saw a burst he liked and made me convert it into a video!
We had a final kiss and he waved goodbye :(
I think our relationship has weathered many storms. In retrospective, there was a very specific period in our relationship where he was tired all the time and I was contemplating ending things regularly. But we pulled through our Dark Ages, and now we are rewarded by the light again.
Thank you for staying.
