The L Word

On this day, most people would be reciting the events which occurred throughout the whole year, events which they think were significant enough to be remembered and recalled. I would do that too, but not today. Cos' I've got better things that have to be told now.

A dropped the L-bomb. Yes, the 'Love' bomb.

Please excuse me while I go catch my breath as I'm still trying to digest this piece of information.

*gasp* *gasp*

OK. So yeah, he told me that he loves me. *swoons*

*slaps myself*

I was quite shocked when he told me that because he never used any word like this before. Not to me at least. Not even the word 'like'. Never said anything nice to me before, and suddenly he tells me that he loves me. In a text, though.

I didn't know how I should react, so I just replied "yeah I know you love me". Not sure if my reply was correct, as the next text from him was "you love me too don't you?". I paused. Paused. And then paused some more. Then I replied "yeah love you too". When I was about to hit the 'reply' button, I remembered that he was in a club. Based on his messages and the amount of typo he made, I was quite sure he was half-drunk, or really, really high. Then I added "are you drunk?" to test if he's drunk and also to change the topic.

He told me that he wasn't drunk and that the typos were because he wasn't using the phone's dictionary. He was only tired and sleepy. I wanted to trust him, but the 'helo' and 'hehe' and 'lol' don't do him justice. And the club-hopping isn't helping.

At that point I didn't know what to do. As much as I'm excited to hear him say the L word, I'm also worried if it meant anything at all. After all, he's half-drunk and I can't expect him to be himself. If I were drunk I would be so much more talkative than I already am when sober and I'll be this happy person where I will go around talking without thinking first. What if he was just high and said it because he thought it was fun? Before I got my hopes too high, I told him I'm busy and couldn't be texting him anymore and told him not to get too drunk.

"ok bye and love you!!" was his reply.

My reply? Nothing. Didn't know if I should text the L word back to him or not, so I thought it was best to not reply. Not a wise choice, but better than him waking up in the morning not knowing what happened last night and with a text from me saying that I love him.

Now I have to wait till he's sober and see if he remembers anything he said.
