Out of control.

One of the arguments we always had last time was how he was always so insistent that he's clueless when he it comes to wooing a girl. I said, "You do it! You just tak sedar!" He said, "Betul! I tak reti mengayat!"

"Habis tu your SMSes!" I argued.

"Tu bukan mengayat!" Katanya.

I did not believe him.

However..

Post-courting-phase conversations with him, especially now that we're far apart, shows that he is maybe right after all.

Take 1:

"You tengah fikir apa lagi tu? What else are you thinking about?" I asked.

His answer, " Takde. Dalam kepala I, you je. Nurul, Nurul, Nurul. Aysha, Aysha, Aysha. Nurul, Nurul, Nurul. Aysha, Aysha, Aysha."

Take 2:

This was after my first trip to KL in October, my following trip was a week after that.

"Hey, we'll see each other again in 5 days time." Always with my countdown. Guilty!

"Yay."

"Macam tu je you excited?"

"In what way do you want me to portray my excitement? I cannot yell right now." True. He was at his house and it was way past bedtime for his housemate.

"As if you would!" I hushed under my covers.

"...... If I could put the phone next to my heart.. You can hear it yelling."

Take 3:

"You know you can tell what sort of person he is from the things inside his wallet?" I said once, after our feast of marvelous ribs.

"Wallet I kosong."

"Jiwa you masih kosong ke?" I teased.

"Ha.. Jiwa kosong."

Alah, no need to be so honest! I thought.

"Because you're here." His eyes narrowed on me, "I can't fit you inside my wallet."

Take 4:

Cruising down his hometown, I vented out my frustration about this very pretty lady I know.

"I really like pretty girls! So I'm disappointed when they are not as pretty inside as they are outside!"

With eyes on the road, he said, "There's this one very pretty girl.. You boleh jumpa selalu dekat.."

"Apa? Tol?" Not the first time from him to tease me about toll girls.

".. Dalam cermin."

Should've expected that but really, the line is so old school I didn't know it's legal for people to still use it!

SO CHEESY CAN DIE.

"Habis lah you, dah jumpa (a version of him) yang mengayat. Dulu tak reti, tapi lepas you basah-basahkan hati I...."

Should've known this was coming - during our first hour of being erm officially past the courting phase, we were just outside KLCC, he smiled, took a puff of cigarette and said, "Now I don't have to pretend not to stare anymore."

DIE NOW, I SAY.

He's gone out of control. Halp! *guards heart with all my might*
