"You what? Uh-oh... uh-oh. Seriously? After being just one month together? Where?"
"Manila, Philippines. I'm so excited."
Maya looked at me for a moment, more concerned than excited.
"You are... you both are gonna... Oh geez, I don't know what to think. You are dancing too near temptations! You are going to bring... protection, right? Oh better, both of you book separate rooms." If anyone was there to stand by me and brutally cared for me, it was Maya.
Long dark-brown hair, nice pointed nose, large eyes plus a voluptuous body, Maya was very attractive. She carried herself with confidence and she had no shortage of pursuers. But at that moment, she was single. 'I don't felt led by the Lord yet' she would say. Oh, she was a worship leader in the church and she played the guitar too. An angel inside out. I enjoyed talking with her because for all my blunders in life, many of them are self-inflicted, she never judged me. Some of her advice were impossible but they rang true. She said she looked not to Hollywood, but the Holy Word.
"I booked a twin room, okay? Separate beds. Then again, you are right. I should bring some condoms. Just in case..." Some old wounds began to tear apart again. "In case, history repeats itself."
