(Issue 45) Trois: rêveur: Saveur

Savur was my first in between and the story begins at Happy again. I was clubbing and having fun, after deciding to brave the audience who seen my 'stage-play' I had with Ensoé a couple of weeks ago. It was towards the end of the night that Cason told me that there is this cute guy at the bar drinking with a girl. I can tell from Cason face how interested he was, and at the very next moment, Cason asked me to approach him and introduce the both of them.

Deep in my mind was, what the heck, nothing could be even more embarrassing than what had happened the other night. So I approached him and introduced myself and he replied, "Hi, I am Savur", with an accent, and from this close distance I realized his charm. I followed the conversion with a survey on his status, etc. Then soon after I hinted Cason it is time to step in, and I introduced the both of them and excuse myself to the loo. When I return, Cason wanted me to help him get Savur's number while he excuse himself to the loo. "Savur, Cason is interested in you and wishes to have your number. Do you mind?" Savur gave me his number and when I am about to leave the bar, he got hold of me and ask, "Hey, what is your number then?" I felt flattered and gave him my number.

To my surprise, I received a message from Savur the next night while I was partying with my "Femme" (shorthand for the Female version of Me), I asked him about Cason but the topic was changed by this with his charming flirting. By the end of the night, he drop the question, by asking me to join him over at Sentosa, as he and his "Femme" got a free room from the groom and bride. I decided to drop by since there is someone else present.

We spent our night at the beach, laying on deck chairs, looking at the stars and drinking a heavy mix of alcohol. The night was beautiful but sunrise came in an hour or two. I decided to head home as the bright sun shone upon my tired and half sober face.

It was soon we started going out for simple meals and both of us make sure that we do not mention the word "Love" even as we sang our favorite tune "Fly to the Moon". things went smoothly and we were sure whether to confirm one another. Both of us Sagi, found our commonalities and topics. He occupation had always been my dream and his office is breath-taking.

Soon we found out that we have a unexpected common 'friend', which leads to mild embarrassment. Things started to change slowly, there was an unexpected drift, but since we did not commit, at least things were not so awkward for us. We soon became friends which you meet at least once a year for a simple dinner alone together. Although the hugs and kisses were gone, but that special care for one another is still present.

Coming to terms with (sometimes it is better to remain as friends than partners) Me, (had wondered what things would be like being a couple) Myself and (my secret affair everyone heard of but doesn't have a face to attach it to) I.

Smiling happily every time I hear: Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon, And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like, On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand, In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song, And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for, All I worship and adore
In other words please be true, In other words I love you
