Okay so here it goes…
We pulled into our first port of the deployment and it happens to be Hong Kong. I was here no more than 7 months prior on my last time out, but this time was different. I was single. The first day I had duty so I couldn’t really do much. Just stand my watch and wait til the following day. The second day was interesting. I went out with this guy named Troy. He is a good friend of mine and recently has been listening a lot to me. Letting me vent and be close to him. Yet this time was the first time out in civilian life with him. Along with us was our buddies Bryan and Travis. Travis is my ex but is still really close to me in my heart. Anyways, I basically was getting close to Troy, yet I still love Travis. Troy has told me a lot of stuff from his past and how he wants a serious relationship with someone right now. He’s 26….ready to settle down. I don’t blame him. Well throughout the day me and the guys went to Disney, then we tried to go see the big Buddha statue but couldn’t. It sucked but whatever I dealt with it. As we were on the way back from Buddha we went to the movies and saw Sherlock Holmes. While we were watching the movie, Travis told me that he wanted to bring me back home with him. He had been contemplating this for the past week. Well, I was surprised and asked him if he wanted to give it another go. He said he wasn’t sure, but eventually agreed. I told Troy and felt horrible and he was glad that at least I told him before he got too attached. As we got back to the boat both boys walked me to my berthing. Bryan went back to his rack. I gave Troy back his externals and he departed. As for Travis me and him held eachother close and kissed. It had been the first time we had kissed in a while. I felt so alive. I told him I loved him and he said it back. I kissed him one more time and went to bed. He had duty the next day which was the last day in port. The next morning, my buddy Kevin decided he was gonna leave without me. I had no buddy until some of Travis’ co-workers saw me and asked me to go out with them. I agreed, not knowing what was going to happen. We went bar hopping. Now I don’t really drink, but I drank like a goldfish. I remember quite a few bits and pieces, but other than that…I felt really good. I ended up being with pretty much Travis’ division. It was bad. As far as I know…I am a cute and crazy lil drunk according to the guys. Great…now I have a major headache and I don’t know what to do. Hong Kong was awesome…
