Andile: "We'll wait here until they're finished with their interviews."
Me: "Okay."
Andile: "Make yourself comfortable." I nodded and went to go sit on one of the empty couches. It was one of those fancy VIP rooms. There were a few people about. They gave me curious glances and I just smiled at them. Some nodded and some looked away. I've noticed that my personality makes other people uncomfortable. Oh well, it can't be helped. I am who I am. "Isi, do you want something to drink or eat?"
Me: "No thank you, I'm fine."
Andile: "You sure? Don't be polite. There's a lot of fancy looking shit here. I'm sure it tastes good." Some of the people gave him weird glances but he didn't seem to care. I smiled. I liked him.
Me: "I'm sure. "
Andile: "Okay then but tell me if you want anything, I'll get it for you."
Me: "Thank you Ace." He smiled waving me off.
Andile: "You're my bro's girl, no thanks needed." I giggled nervously. I wonder how he was going to react when he finds out that I'm not actually his friend's girlfriend? It's going to be interesting.
After waiting for almost an hour, one by one the team entered the room and the room went abuzz. I stood up as some gave me curious glances. I'm sure I was a new face to them. But I did the usual, I smiled brightly. I was waiting anxiously and excitedly for my one. I wonder how was he going to react to my being here? Was he going to be shocked or angry or both. I giggled inwardly. Either way, I was here to woo him, even though I didn't know how to go about doing that yet.
The way my soul lightened up and filled with warmth when he finally entered. Geez! If I didn't know now, now I knew. He was mine. My one for sure. Some guests crowded him, wanting a piece of him. I watched he shook their hands politely and conversed with them. I noticed that he didn't smile as much, this one of mine. I loved it because it added to his charisma.
Andile: "Come let's go save him." He said pulling me with him towards Vuyani. When he saw his friend, his eyes softened a bit but they soon changed when he saw me. First they frowned, then widened in recognition, and then they were filled with irritation. I smiled. He excused himself from the people trying to hog his attention and came to us.
Me: "Hey boyfriend."
Vuyani: "It's you."
Me: "Yes it's me. Are you happy to see me because I am."
Vuyani: "What are you doing here?" He asked through gritted teeth.
Me: "To see you of course. I watched your match. You were amazing!" He blinked, and then he frowned again.
Vuyani: "Don't tell me you followed me all the way to Paris." I laughed as Andile followed our conversation looking back and forth between us.
Me: "And if I say I did, what would you say?" He made a exasperated sound.
Vuyani: "Lady-."
Me: "My name is Isiqhamo and no I didn't come all the way to Paris for you, even though I would've come special if I had known you had a match." He was still frowning but this time he was looking at me like I belonged in another universe. I giggled. I was used to this look but on him it looked cute.
Vuyani: "Just tell me what you want Lady."
Me: "I want you to be my boyfriend." Andile laughed.
Andile: "Oh man, this is hilarious and such a turn on. Say yes Vi, my man." My one gave his friend a look. "What? Say yes, it's not like you're dating or anything. And she's cute, interesting and funny."
Me: "Thank you."
Andile: "You're welcome."
Me: "Although, next time I prefer you say sexy rather than cute."
Andile: "Noted." He winked. I smiled.
Me: "I like you."
Andile: "I like you too." I smiled happily as my one groaned rubbing his face. I could see he was close to exploding.
Vuyani: "Lady look...just tell me what you want from me?"
Me: "I just told you a few seconds ago. Be my boyfriend."
Vuyani: "No."
Me: "Why?"
Vuyani: "You're not my type."
Me: "What is your type?"
Vuyani: "Not you."
Me: "Impossible."
Vuyani: "Lady!" He said gritting his teeth.
Me: "Let's spend time together and then you'll see I'm your type. Your only type." Andile gave me a thumbs up.
Vuyani: "No."
Me: "Why?"
Vuyani: "I have no time."
Me: "Impossible. Everybody has time."
Vuyani: "I don't date." I smiled.
Me: "Then I'll be your first and you'll be mine." He put his hands on his head and turned slightly away from me as he mumbled under his breath in frustration. Andile laughed.
Andile: "Oh Vi man, she's perfect for you. Damn." He gave his friend a glare but Andile wasn't deterred. He took a deep breath and looked at me square in the eyes.
Vuyani: "Look Lady-."
Me: "Isiqhamo."
Vuyani: "Whatever your name is. I don't know you, you don't know me so please do me a favor and disappear from my life."
Me: "I'm sorry to say this but that's impossible."
Vuyani: "And why is that?"
Me: "You're my destiny."
Vuyani: "W-what the fuck?"
Me: "You're my destiny. So because of that we'll keep on bumping into each whether we like it or not until we be together."
Vuyani: "You're crazy." He said shaking his head looking at me like I had grown three heads.
Me: "I understand why you might think that but soon you will come to know that what I just said to you today is the truth."
Vuyani: "Lady-."
Me: "I'll leave now."
Vuyani: "W-what?" He was taken aback. I could see I was giving him a whiplash. My poor one.
Me: "Why? You don't want me to?"
Vuyani: "W-what do y-you mean-."
Me: "I'm teasing you." I giggled. He cleared his throat as his frown deepened. "I came. I saw you. I even conversed with you, so I'm happy. We'll see each other soon."
Vuyani: "Lady I really hope not." I laughed.
Me: "Remember my name is Isiqhamo. I'm your future girlfriend and wife so prepared to be wooed!"
Andile: "Hells yeah!"
Vuyani: "This is crazy."
Me: "Bye. Be safe. Think of me. See you in SA." He just shook his head. "Bye Ace. Nice meeting you again."
Andile: "Of course. To be honest, today is one of the best and memorable days I've ever had and I'm sure Vi would agree." My one just grunted as he glared at his friend.
Me: "Remember to think of me." I reminded him sweetly. He frowned at me and scratched his chin. I giggled and I left.
This is the first of many. Brace yourself my one...
