that a guy as handsome as you have no girlfriend. I'm sure, there are lots of women who like you", said she.
                  "Well, thank you for the compliment. I had a very serious girlfriend back in college, but she broke my heart and left me for another man, someone who was older and richer than me. It was really bad, because she was my first love and I wished that it would be for forever. I can really say that she will always hold a special place in my heart forever", said he.
                  "Oh my God! You don't know how much it hurts for me to hear you saying that!",said she looking pained.
                  "Well, you don't have to worry Violet, because she may be my first love and no matter how much I wish that my first love could last forever, well it didn't work out. She broke my trust and I could never trust her again. You are my love now and that's what's important. I have never admired any woman the way I admired you. In fact, I will give you twenty percent of my salary every month and you can add it to what you give to the charitable organization that you support, to the poor and to the stray dogs and cats at the shelter. She may be my first love, but you are the greatest love that I've ever had in my entire life", said he.
                  "Thank you so much Jacob for supporting me with my charities. I guess we are just so lucky and I see it as a responsibility for us to help out the poor and the less fortunate people in our community", said she.
                  "By the way, if you don't mind, I would also be meeting an old friend back in college who owns a bar there in Boracay. In the meantime, you can take time to do your shopping while I meet him", said he.
                  "Okay sure, I don't mind. That's a good idea since you guys don't like shopping as much as girls do", said she.
                  "That is not very true. There are some guys who also like shopping", said he
                  "Okay, but at least I won't feel pressured and be on a hurry while I shop", said she smiling at him.
                  They ate their snacks and fell asleep for a long time and then after transferring from boat to bus and boat again, they finally arrived in Boracay Island. The first thing that they did was to check in to their hotel. They went up to their room and deposited their bags there. After that they went downstairs for their dinner. They had Pesto Pasta with Squid and Mint Iced Tea for their drink. They talked about his first love because Violet keeps asking questions about her.
                  "So, where is she now, I mean your first love? Do you have any news about her?", she asked him.
                  "The last time I heard from her, she is working as a fashion stylist for a monthly magazine and that was about last year. She has a degree in fashion design. In fact, she designs her own clothes", said he.
                  "Wow. You know what to tell you frankly, I feel insecure about her because I know how most of us feel about our first love. Most of us wish that our first love would also be our last but that only happens to so very few people. I did have a first love, but we broke up and until now we remain as good friends. It's better that way for us, because we are not very compatible with each other to begin with. We don't agree with many things and we always argue with each other", said she.
                  "Yes I know that we all wish for our first love to last forever. Well, as much as we would like that to happen, it rarely does because first love happens when you are still very young and you don't even know yet where you can find a job. I guess that is the reason why most people really want their first love to last and can't seem to forget about him or her. There are exceptions, of course, for some people who want to play around and those who are afraid of
