When Joey Met Meg

Part 5

Dear Meg,

I cooked dinner for you but I'm sorry I can't join you. It's in my fridge, you can warm it. I left a spare key at the reception, just ask whoever's in charge. I'll see you tomorrow, babe...yay :)

P.S.

I'll be flying tomorrow at 10:00 PM. You'll take me to the airport right? I love you!

Your Joey

I left a sticky note on Meg's door. I'm still captivated whenever I call her babe or hear her call me baby. I get chills inside and my heart doesn't act normally. I have never experienced this before even when I had my first boyfriend. Meg brought me to a place I have never been and that place is right beside her. Everything is new to me, this relationship with Meg - I'm pretty sure my folks will hardly understand this. But I have high hopes that they will still accept me no matter what, whoever I am.

Who will ever think that in this lifetime, you will meet your soulmate? I do believe in soulmate but I never imagined it will happen to me. I never imagined that I'm destined to meet her again - the one who captured my heart. What shall I do? The question I asked myself after I realized that she is my soulmate. I fought hard to stop it but the more I resist the more I'm falling for Meg. Why should I stop it? When I know that I found my happiness in her. Loving Meg, is one thing I am not skilled to do but I will do what my heart tells me to do.

Thank you for the adobo. I loved it. Wish you are here, baby.
I'll see you tomorrow at Starbucks, okay?
Yes, I'll take you to the airport. When I think about you leaving, I'm starting to miss you. :(
I love you.

It was a toxic duty last night, I'm tired and I still have a flight to catch tonight. I called Meg after my shift. "Good morning." I greeted.

"Morning, baby! Are you on your way to Starbucks?" Meg asked.

"Yes. Sorry I didn't get to reply to you text last night. I had a toxic night." I murmured.

"It's okay. I understand. Take care, babe. See you." She said and hanged up.

When I got to the coffee shop, Meg was already there. She ordered our coffee and pastry. This is what I love about her, she's very caring. She can't cook but she makes effort on things she do best. She kissed me on the lips when I greeted her. Sometimes I get shocked when we are sweet in public, I have to remind myself that it is fine because I'm in NYC.

She watches me while I eat my breakfast, she never touched her food and just sip her coffee.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I asked Meg.

"I'm thinking about not going to work today and spend the day with you, until I send you off to the airport." She murmured.

"Can you call Kate then? Tell her you are sick..." I said, hoping she will take the day off.

"I was about to, but my editor called before I wanted to call in sick." Meg sighed.

"Will I still see you tonight?" I asked and I'm starting to feel sad if Meg will not take me to the airport.

"As much as I hate to see you go, baby I will still send you off." She held my hand and brushed it against her cheeks. "Please keep in touch, baby. Don't make me miss you so much." She hushed.

I hate what I'm feeling now. It brings me sadness and pain in my chest. I hate to see Meg like this. I am not used to seeing her like this. "Babe, I will only be gone for a week. Please don't be sad." I whispered.
