(Long overdue) She said yes to the invitation - by Her

(It has been a long overdue post...I hope I'll remember all the details,, up to this post it's about events that occurred in July 2008)


So they began to develop a beautiful friendship between them. The blue and the yellow bubbles coexisted in her mindscape.


She did not know where this would go. Like she had been mentioning in the many posts in the past, she did not want to venture into any relationship. She just wanted to be left alone.


And this friendship with him was good. He was kept at the periphery of her world, one foot in , and one foot out. Don't go away, yet don't come too close, please.


At this stage he was getting ready to go back to Melbourne. That's another reason why she did not want to let herself fall for him. How could she leave Adelaide and her comfort?


He made an invitation to his group of friends here. The offer was very tempting: a road trip with him in his car to Melbourne, a day or two of city tour, free accommodation and a complimentary return flight. A few friends of his expressed interest but for some reason it didn't work out at the end.


It just so happened that she had a few off days in that week (or maybe it was God?:P)


She thought...why not. She's never been to Melbourne. She's never visited the beautiful Great Ocean Road, and she really wanted to have a mini holiday and take some good photographs.


So she took the offer. Yes, I will go with you.


He was ecstatic. He began his careful planning for the road trip. What he did not tell her then was revealed at the later stage. If the travel companion was someone else, it would only be a straight drive to Melbourne. If it was her, it would be a 2-3 day of road trip on the Great Ocean Road. And he secretly hoped she would take the offer.
