We stepped out on the busy street of Nathan Road to kick off our Hong Kong adventure.

Logan held my hand, leading the way with our fingers intertwined. He looked like a man on a mission and walked like one, too. After all, it had been he who Google Earth-ed every single place in our HK must-visit list. From all that Google Earth-ing, he pretty much knew his way around so I let him take me wherever he wanted. Okay, that sounded cheesy.

He always stayed two steps ahead of me and I was seeing more of his back than usual. Such a brisk walker, this boyfriend of mine. He never slouches, and that makes him seem taller and leaner. And though I've said this about a hundred times, I'm so glad that he's the bigger person in our relationship--a fact that I've no qualms telling everyone I know. He has direction. This, perhaps, is just one of the reasons I let him take the lead when most women would always think twice before letting their man take the reins.

There we were, walking the streets of Kowloon, hand in hand. It was so...PG-13. I almost had to remind myself that just 10 minutes ago, he was inside me.

It was almost strange to think of how we can switch from being totally X-Rated to PG-13 in 10 minutes or less. Strange, because we were in a foreign land, for goodness' sake. I should be thinking more about how we can go around the city without getting lost. But there I was, just a few steps behind Logan as we passed by Sogo (the department store, not the motel) on our way to the Avenue of Stars at the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade.

I marveled at how I've never been this conscious of the sudden shift from erotic to romantic. It's funny how it took an international flight for me to realize that this, this is how it feels to be with someone who's in it for the long haul, someone who'll still be there after so many mornings after...

It's funny how the biggest cliches prove to be true. That sometimes, to see the bigger picture, you just need to get away from the present situation. In my case, I needed to get away from my present city and fly all the way to Hong Kong for me to see what had been so obvious to everyone who knows and reads about my relationships, whether or not they know the real girl behind the blog.

There I was, just a few steps behind Logan, seeing him in a whole new light.
