They first crossed paths in 2005. Totally out of the blue.

She made her move the very next day. In return, he responded in a way which she never saw coming. From that one small move, it showed her something very clear. He is as bold as she is. She has met her match.

From there, they did the normal thing. Trying to get the feel of each other. They click. The chemistry? Unbelievable! 

Over the years, feelings began to stir inside her. As usual, she kept it to herself. She didn't tell a soul. He was her little secret.

For years, she has been watching him do his thing. He was at the top of his game. Girls were throwing themselves at his feet. Everyone wanted a piece of him.

And he? He is basking in the limelight. Soaking up all the attention like a sponge. Strutting around like a peacock.

It kills her to watch him flaunting the girls in her face. But still, she said nothing. 

She remembered one event where he was flaunting his intern openly for all to see. She remembered how she felt that night. She could literally feel her heart breaking watching him with her. It almost killed her. But, still she kept silent and just watched with a heavy heart.  Oh, the agony of that memory...!!

A friend of his pulled her aside that night, to have a heart to heart talk. Or so he said. But truth is, he had other plans. Being sympathetic or understanding, that was never the plan. 

"You will never be anything special to him. You are just one of his bitches." He spat at her. Venom in his voice. 

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

She couldn't believe her ears. She looked at his face. His lips were moving, he's still talking. But she didn't hear a word he was saying. She was stunned. She could feel her blood boil inside her body. She was pissed mad.

How dare he! How dare he judge him when he has been nothing but a lowlife bitch all along. Hypocrite. That's who he is. Hah!

His attempt to turn her against him, backfired. Instead of running away, she hooked herself even deeper into him.

That dude, he wasn't the first to try to turn her against him. There were a few others who tried after that too. All of them stabbed him in the back. 

If he is really as horrible as they say he is, why don't they have the balls to say them to his face? 

She is not stupid. She sees them all for who they really are. Ugly, green eyed monsters who wished they were him. 

She believes in him. She has met her match. She can relate to him playing the field. He knows he's got it. So why not flaunt it. After all, he's only young once. 

Yup. She has definitely met her match.

At the same time, she hasn't been slacking. Unknown to him, he has been the subject of her study.

WHO is he, and WHO is he? They are both the same. But they are not really the same. 

She has been studying the two for years. The deeper she looked, the more she understands. She is able to differentiate between the two. 

And as she studies him, her feelings for him grows. Her gut squeezed. Her heart raced. That is all the confirmation she needed. It's true. She is in love with him. 

But still, she held back and waited.

2014, she let it out. She laid it all on the table. Literally. After that, she felt light. The weight of the secret she's been carrying alone, unplugged. 

Aaah.... Feels good to breathe.

She is not holding back anymore. She believes what she believes because she believes in what she believes. This love is true.

What is in store for them tomorrow? She hasn't the slightest clue.

But she knows this much. As long as she continues to believe in him, in them, and in this love.... she will wait.
