It was after dinner when I got a chance to speak to Stephanie, so when she cleared the table I helped her then followed her to the kitchen. I was busy rinsing the dishes, handing them to her and she was loading them into the dishwasher.
Me: Stephanie, quick question
Stephanie: Sure.
Me: What can I do to calm Smith down and change his mind about this whole thing, I understand why he is this angry but like I said I dont want him to get in trouble.
Stephanie: Just talk to him, and let him know your concerns, hopefully he will be able to reason with you. If he is anything like his father, you will have to use your tears to get him to listen to reason. These men fear our tears so if just talking to him doesnt work, use for tears, cry your brains out he will definitely listen.
That sounds simple enough, I will try it.
Me: I hope it works, I have never seen him so angry before and I have known him for 5 years.
Stephanie: How did you guys meet anyways, I know you met at school but how was it, how did it happen?
I laughed thinking of how far we have gone from the first day we met, till now.
Me: First day of school, grade 8, unlike all the other learners, I knew no one there because I hadnt gone to Toti Primary or Twini Primary, I went to Athlone Park and none of my ex schoolmates came to Toti High, they all went to Kingsway, DHS, DGHS and Glenwood. I wore a long skirt unlike other girls in my grade, basically I was the odd 1 out. So during break, I went to the tuck shop bought my food then went to sit under a tree and started eating, Smith and his friends came and sat next to me and they started eating my food. I almost cried because I love my food and I hate it when someone just takes my food without my permission. Mind you, they hadnt said a word to me. When my food was finished, one of his friends Langelihle greeted me and asked for my name, I told him to F off and stood up, made my way to the tuck shop to buy myself something else to eat, the bell rand as I was just about to reach the tuck shop so I ended up not getting more food. I cried my way to class, only to find that these 3 butt wipes were in the same class as me. Smith sat behind me for the next few lessons and he kept pulling my hair, trying to get my attention and overall making me lose concentration in class. That was the start of my problems because he did that every single day, I literally only got a break in grade 10 because he went into commerce and I chose science. The visits during break didnt stop though, sometimes he would buy me lunch, sometimes he would make fun of me. He gave me mixed signals and for the longest time I thought he hated me. So when the Matric Ball came, and he acted like my date, I was shocked no lie. It was that same Matric Ball that lead us to where we are now, because had I not gone to the ball, he would not have brought me here for the afterparty and he would not have gotten an opportunity to tell me how he felt/feels about me.
Stephanie was now in tears, I dont know why because this wasnt an emotional story.
Stephanie: He has always loved you, from the first time he saw you.
Me: Thats what he says but I am failing to comprehend how you almost bully someone you love.
Stephanie: He wasnt necessarily bullying you, he just didnt know what to do with those foreign feelings he had for you, this is the cutest story I have ever heard.
I just laughed at her. I hadnt noticed that we had been in the kitchen for over an hour, until Andre walked in.
Andre: You guys sure can chat hey? It has been an hour and a half, I miss my wife now and I am sure your fiancé misses you too. Let us all go to sleep, we will have breakfast together in the morning.
He said that whilst pulling his wife to him.
Me: Goodnight, see you in the morning.
I walked to Smiths room and when I got there he was doing push ups wearing nothing his boxers, he looked super sexy, like sports illustrated type of sexy. If I was experienced, I probably would have sexed him up right there and then, that is how good he looked. I stood there leaning on the door, and admired my man, yes I said it, my man.
Bradley: Like what you see?
He said without even raising his head to look at me.
Me: How did you know I was standing here?
Bradley: I can smell the lust from here.
He stood up and walked towards me, sweat dripping from his chest all the way down to his v-line and further down. Lord have mercy on my lustful soul. I hate, like absolutely hate sticky and sweaty hugs, but I found myself hugging him with the sweat and all, then I grabbed his firm butt. He laughed at this but I didnt care, I then rested my hands on it.
Bradley: You love my ass, but you dont love me.
Me: I love you Smith
I really have fallen for him, I just never considered telling him yet. He was just as shocked as I was, that he pulled away quickly and looked me in the eye.
Bradley: Babe, are you serious? You really love me?
Me: Yes Smith, I love you.
He pulled me to him, kissed the living shit out of me, picking me up in the process, I had my legs wrapped around his torso my hands were rooted in his hair. The kiss was getting hotter when he pulled out and walked us to the bed. He sat on it, so I was on his lap.
Bradley: We need to talk babe.
Me: I know what you want us to talk about.
Bradley: You do?
Me: Yes, you know I am not ready to have sex Smith. Yes I have fallen in love with you but I am still getting used to you being mine. I just need some time.
Bradley: Like I had said before, I will not rush you babe, I just wanted us to discuss some alternatives.
Me: We are not even married yet and already you want to cheat on me? How could you even think of something like that.
I was ready to cry at this point.
Bradley: Whoa whoa whoa, who said anything about cheating? I dont want to cheat on you my love, I will not cheat on you Starr.
Me: Then what alternatives are you talking about?
Bradley: Sometimes you make me question your intelligence my Starr, I wanted us to discuss alternative ways of reaching our climax. Like oral sex maybe or just using our hands. I meant it when I said I wouldnt rush you, and so if you are not comfortable with this then we will not do it.
Me: Ohhh, I am sorry I jumped to that conclusion.
Bradley: It is okay my Starr.
Me: I dont know though Smith, I have never had a guy see my vagina before so that will be awkward.
Bradley: It shouldnt be awkward babe, but if you dont want to it is cool.
Me: it wont hurt to try right?
I asked with uncertainty. I was getting nervous by the minute, I really wanted to at least try this but the nerves were doing the most, you would swear I was getting ready for an exam.
Bradley: Let us go and take a shower together, to get our bodies acquainted with each other.
Well I have seen his body, I love it but now I have to show him mine, the nerves again.
