So it's been 2 months since I've seen my one. Even though I missed him to the point where my whole being ached, I had decided not to contact him. I was going to wait for him to come to me when he was ready. And I knew eventually he would seek me out. The ball was in his court now. I had poured my heart out, so he had to look in deep within and open himself up to love. I wondered though what made him such a skeptic to love. Was it because of his mother's death? I think so. But I will wait for him to tell me his story. I could wait millions of years if I could because for my one it was worth it. On the plus side though, my album was finally out and it was hitting the top charts already. "Remember to Think of Me" composition was the people's favorite which was not a surprise since it came from my soul.
Dad: "Tell me about this man." I laughed softly. It took him 2 months to ask about my one. Even though I knew that he had wanted to know the details from the very beginning, he had held out better than I had expected. My poor father.
Me: "Well...what do you want to hear daddy?"
Dad: "Everything."
Me: "Everything? Mmm...that's going to be a little difficult."
Dad: "Why? Has he not accepted you yet? How dare he? Doesn't he know that you're more precious than gold?"
Me: "Awww daddy!" I said hugging him. He grumbled patting my back.
Dad: "If he doesn't want you, leave him. He's not worth it."
Me: "But daddy, he is. He's worth the world." He sighed.
Dad: "He really is the one?"
Me: "Yes." He sighed again.
Dad: "So when am I meeting him?"
Me: "Soon."
Dad: "Okay, it better be or I'll hunt him down myself and pull him straight." I laughed.
Me: "I know you will. Thank you daddy." He kissed my forehead.
Dad: "Okay, I'm leaving for work. Be safe sweetheart."
Me: "Okay dad. You too. I love you."
Dad: "I love you too." And he left. I quickly ran up the stairs and got ready for practice.
Greta: "So any updates on that man of yours? How is the wooing going?"
Me: "Currently it's on standstill."
Yonelisa: "Standstill? What does that mean?"
Me: "Something." She made a face and I smiled.
Jessie: "Are you even sure this guy will end up liking you?"
Me: "Not just like. He'll end up loving the hell out of me." I wiggled my brows.
Yonelisa: "There she goes again." She groaned covering her eyes.
Greta: "She's mental."
Jessie: "Tell me about it." I laughed softly.
Me: "You guys just prepare yourselves. You'll be bridesmaids to our wedding. Don't say I didn't warn you." They all groaned as they looked at one another as if to say 'what can we do about her?'. I laughed. For me it's always interesting how people really didn't know what to do with me when they thought I was crazy, which was most of the times. In my world I wasn't crazy at all, I was completely sane because I knew what they didn't so that's why I understood them when they thought me as crazy.
Luthando: "I heard we're going to England next month." I worried my lip.
Me: "Yeah." I sighed.
Yonelisa: "What's wrong?"
Me: "Just hoping my one comes to me before then."
Yonelisa: "She's hopeless."
Jessie: "Truly." I just smiled and pinched both of their cheeks.
Me: "I love you guys."
Tomorrow I was leaving for England, and still my one hadn't come to me. I pouted as I exited the car. I had a few things to do at the studio before I left tomorrow since I was going to be out of the country for 2 months. My feeling detector has been quiet lately so it surprised me when I started to feel something as I neared the entrance door. When I saw a shadow standing by the door, I knew the reason. My one had come. The joy, the love, the excitement, the happiness...every single feeling came flooding in and filling up my soul. I blinked back tears as I held my chest. When he saw me, he stood up straighter and fisted his hands to his sides. I was ready for the war he was going to bestow on me.
Me: "Hey boyfriend." I greeted smiling. He closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them, they were filled with determination to deny whatever that was between us. Game on.
Vuyani: "I just came to tell how much I hate you."
Me: "Okay, I'm listening."
Vuyani: "You see? This is what I hate the most." He pointed at me. "You're so unpredictable. Every time your words and actions turn and twist me up inside and out until I don't know where I begin or end."
Me: "I also don't know where I begin or end when it comes to you too."
Vuyani: "Stop." He shook his head. "Could you please please stop. I was completely fine before you bulldozed your way into my life. Now everything is a mess. I can't think of anything but you. I race...it's you. I sleep...it's you. I eat...it's you. I'm with my friends...it's also you. I can't even go to the bathroom in peace anymore. You're everywhere." I smiled. "Don't do that!" He snapped. "Don't smile like that."
Me: "Vuya-."
Vuyani: "No! Don't say anything." He said holding up his hand. "I came here to beg you. Please disappear from my life, okay Lady? Could you please please disappear."
Me: "You really want me to?"
Vuyani: "Yes." Liar.
Me: "Okay. Tomorrow I'm leaving for England. You'll never see me again."
Vuyani: "W-What?" He whispered taking a step back like I shot him.
Me: "Isn't that what you wanted? I granted your wish. I'm leaving tomorrow." He closed his eyes and turned his back to me.
Vuyani: "This is crazy." He said hitting his chest.
Me: "It's fine. I set you free. You don't have to worry about seeing me anymore." I took out my keys and went to open the door. He grabbed my arm turning me around.
Vuyani: "So you'll really disappear from my life, just like that?"
Me: "It's what you wanted, isn't it?"
Vuyani: "Since when have done anything I wanted ever since I met you?!" He snapped. I smiled.
Me: "Then what should I do? Tell me. Disappear or not disappear?" I could see the war he was having with himself. My poor one. He should just stop fighting. He would feel so much better if he did. "What do you want me to do?"
Vuyani: "I want you to hold onto me. Tell me you're not going to disappear from my life. Tell me our fates are tied together. Tell me I'm your one. And demand me to remember to think of you." I smiled as tears formed in my eyes.
Me: "All in that order?"
Vuyani: "Yes." I smiled wider.
Me: "Okay, I'll do my best." I told him. "Vuyani I'm holding on to you. I will never disappear from your life because our fates are tied together and because you're my one. Wherever you are, remember to think of me because wherever I am, I'm doing the same." Then he kissed me. I was not expecting a kiss so my whole body froze up for just a few seconds, then I was kissing him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his hands were on my face and neck with my back against the door. The kiss was everything. Out of this world. It was like we were breathing life into each other. It was like a dance of some sort. He gave I took...he took I gave. And so it went on like that for a long time. We kissed and kissed and kissed...and kissed. It was magical. When we final broke apart we were breathing heavily and both our lips were swollen. He put his forehead against mine with his eyes closed like he was praying. When he opened them, the emotion reflected there almost brought me to my knees. Oh God!
Vuyani: "Are you really leaving for England?" Bless his soul.
Me: "Yes." He tried to hide the hurt and disappointment but it was too visible for me to see. I smiled. "I'm only leaving for 2 months silly, then I'll be back." He smiled in relief and chuckled a bit. God! If I didn't already love him at that moment, I would've fallen for him at that moment.
Vuyani: "So in the end I fell into your trap, huh?"
Me: "Did you really think you had a chance against me?" He laughed.
Vuyani: "I guess not. I always seem to lose when it comes to you." I giggled. He really did.
Me: "So no more fighting this?"
Vuyani: "No more fighting." I smiled.
Me: "Took you long enough. You made me wait 6 months to just agree to be my boyfriend. What will happen when I ask you to be my husband?" He coughed a little looking away. I giggled.
Vuyani: "I promise, I will never let you wait like that again."
Me: "Okay." He smiled and kissed me.
Vuyani: "I want to take you somewhere."
Me: "Where?"
Vuyani: "Somewhere." I squinted my eyes.
Me: "Mh...I wonder where that is."
Vuyani: "You'll see when we get there Lady Isi." I laughed a little.
Me: "Okay, but first I need to do some work inside."
Vuyani: "I'll wait." I smiled. He was perfect.
Me: "Okay."
Vuyani: "Keys." I gave him the keys and he opened the studio and we went in. His hand settled on my back as I led him inside. Damn, I liked how his hand felt against me. Big, strong and firm. I shivered. "You cold?" He went about taking off his jacket.
Me: "No no. I'm fine." Even as I said that he just draped it over my shoulders.
Vuyani: "You always wear lightly. It's winter in England, make sure to pack warm clothes. Okay?" Oh golly gee!
Me: "Okay."
Vuyani: "I'm serious. I don't want you getting sick especially without me being there to take care of you." My toes curled.
Me: "Okay."
Vuyani: "In matter of fact, getting sick in any form is forbidden." I laughed.
Me: "I got it. No getting sick." We stared at each other and the room started to sizzle and get hot. When I started to feel things I've never felt before in certain places, I broke eye contact. He coughed and scratched his chin. "I should get working."
Vuyani: "Yes of course. Just pretend I'm not here." I laughed.
Me: "That's impossible."
Vuyani: "You want me to leave and come back later?"
Me: "No!" I said grabbing his arm. He smiled. "Stay. I want you to stay."
Vuyani: "Then I'll stay."
