"And where did you learn to do make-up again?" I asked as she blended the concealer on my face with the sponge.

"Neo taught me all the nights you were at work and I slept over at hers."

"Eheen so instead of reading this is what you guys were doing ehn?"

"Sis, at least I can help you look gorgeous for your date tonight."

"Hand me the eye-liner." She said

"Which one is eye-liner?"

I barely do make-up so I knew nothing.

"Jesus sis you need to know these things at least!"

After 2 hours of my sister giving me a full makeover and styling me Christian had finally arrived.

"Remember , don't eat with a full mouth..small small bites. And don't talk too much."

"Not my 14 year old sister giving me date advice. Abeg shift! Make sure to lock the door behind. And do not do what?..."

"Open the door for anyone that's not you.Got it! Now go!!" She said pushing me out the door.

He came down to open the car door for me.

"Mhmm gentleman much?"

"I mean...look at how gorgeous you look."

As we drove, we listened to 'Lost me', by Giveon.

"You really like Giveon huh?" I asked.

"Who doesn't! He's my favorite artists."

"Mhmm nice."

We arrived at this private restaurant.
It was still new and hadn't even opened yet.

"Wow, how did you get reservations at an unopened restaurant?"

"Money talks. Plus my dad knows the owner so..."

"Mhmm"

We ate Italian dishes, then took Soo many shots I lost count.
The place even had a karaoke booth.

"WON'T BE HERE FOR LONG, BABY YOU CAN HATE ME IF YOU WANT! BUT NOW I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST! WE CAN KISS, WE CAN TOUCH AND DO IT OFTEN......BUT IF YOU'RE HERE LOOKING FOR LOVE THAT'S WHEN YOU LOST ME!!"

We had been drunk-singing the whole night.

I hate to admit that I had never felt more happier since I arrived in South Africa, the way I felt at that moment with Christian.

I guess I was really fighting the fact that this guy brings out the fun in me and makes me happy.
I just didn't have any room in my life for any relationship.

"Is it me or is your hair purple?" He said in an unbalanced voice.

"No, yours is blue!" I replied barely able to stand still.

We both laughed till we were laying on the floor.

I checked my phone to see the time. We had spent almost 4 hours at the restaurant.

"We should go home now right?" He asked.

"Agreed. But we can't drive , WE'RE DRUNK!" I said giggling.

"True! Let me call my driver."

"Or we could just sleep here!"I said pouring another shot.

The bottle was now empty.

"Yeah, goodnight!"

He lay on the floor and I lay on top of him till we both passed out.
