And so my story continues...you guys wanted something longer
right? Well, you're getting it right here. 
Chapter 5: I Really Want This Night To Last
Forever.
We bought some drinks before we settled down at somewhere quieter.
I looked up at the clear sky; it was filled with stars. I was
fascinated by such a view and how I had been oblivious to these
shining objects all the while.
I guess that we reach points in our life when we are ready for new
information. Until then, something can be staring us in the face
but we don't see it.
Nonetheless, it was a marvellous sight to behold.
We chatted for hours about almost every topic we could cover under
the stars. It seemed that she was quite an easy-going person. It
served to make me feel comfortable in her presence quickly. Through
this, I also got to know her much better, I learnt that she had
been abroad studying for 2 years. And had just come back to
Singapore about a week ago. Apparently, her request to tag along
was kind of like an excuse, as she was not familiar with the area.
But never mind I'm savouring every moment of it like it's some kind
of delicacy.
Character wise, I feel that she's got a dash of liveliness,
seasoned with a sprinkle of playfulness, traits that I like. For
some reason, I felt drawn to her charm, maybe it's what you can
call love. So maybe opposites do attract after all, I thought to
myself. After all, people often say I'm shy and quiet. But there's
much more than meets the eye right?
Just then, Mint tugged at my sleeve.
"Look!" She pointed to the sky. A bright object flew across the
sky. A shooting star!
"Quick!" I said. "Make a wish." We clasped our hands for awhile. I
wished that Mint would be my girlfriend. Such wishful thinking. But
who knows? Maybe fate will turn the wheel of fortune around for me
and we'll end up been together?
"What did you wish for?" I broke the silence a minute later.
Instead of getting an answer, I was asked back.
"Go figure." Mint said mysteriously. "So what was yours?"
Oh no. This question has an answer that isn't even supposed to be
revealed. I hesitated for a few moments.
"Not telling you." I replied smiling mischievously.
"Hey. Cannot like that lah you." Mint poked my side repeatedly. I
burst out in laughter as it really tickled.
"So now I know your weakness. Haha, you better tell me..." She
chased after me playfully.
When all the fun had ended, I looked at the time. It was already
2a.m.
"It's getting late. I need to get home soon." Mint said, it was
almost as if she sounded unwilling to part with me. The tone of her
voice couldn't have been mistaken. Or was it just my
imagination?
I wished that she could stay longer. At least watch the sunrise
together with me or something. Oh well, her parents must be worried
about her, so I think we better go.
"Will you escort me home Clint?" She asked.
"Of course. I won't be able to sleep tonight if anything happens to
you." I said confidently.
We hailed a cab before we headed towards her home.
"You free tomorrow night?" This question made my mind whirl in
anticipation and delight.
"Yeah. What's up?" I asked curiously. Mint grinned at the sound of
my reply.
"Well, I'm having a little gathering and I thought maybe you'll
like to come?" She added.
By now I was dizzy with joy. Another chance for me to get closer to
you, I thought to myself. I could picture the little devils
floating around my head, rubbing palms gleefully. Oops, better not
get carried away.
"Of course." It sure was hard to mask the joy in my voice. "I'll
definitely turn up."
"Ok then, 6pm at my place then. Be there or be square." She
winked.
"Oh ya, before I forget, thanks for everything tonight. It was
great."
With that she waved goodbye and went into the lift. Every step
towards home was filled with the thought of Mint. So this is what
love is? To constantly think of the special person? Well, the last
time I ever had this feeling was quite some time back when I was
still with Eve
