UNCONDITIONAL

"Can you watch where you going!"

I cringe as the person who I just reversed into,while trying to manouver my shopping trolley away from some rude people standing in the middle of the aisle,shouts. I hate shopping at the end of the month,no one looks at where they're going and people have no respect for other shoppers. How can you just stand in the middle of an aisle.

I turn to apologise,when I'm confronted by that beautiful specimen of nature who works at the barber shop. Have you ever met the woman of your dreams?. Well I did and she don't know it. I 'met' her about 8 months ago when I started going to the shop she work at. I've noticed her but she's never noticed me. So it was really a shock when she spoke to me about two weeks ago.

"You know it's rude to stare right?."

She smiles at me and for a second I forget why I turned.

"oh......I'm so sorry"

Second time I meet her and I look a mess! Why did I have to come shopping in my leggings and why am I concerned about how she sees me. She'd never go for a woman like me. She's mf'ing hot and I'm a single mother of four and as fat as a pig and damaged goods as I've been told. Where are all these thoughts coming from,I've managed to stay away from relationships for 2 years but she's got me thinking stuff.

She's very tall ,slim and sexy. With a clean mohawk cut,looking all handsome. Lightskin with a sexy ass athletic body. When you're looking at her from the back you'd swear she was male. Her long legs even have those sexy bracket curves,you usually find in soccer players. Just looking at her physic makes me all hot and bothered. I wonder if she ever played soccer.

"For?"

She raises her left brow in question. While smiling at me. Sorry that you're so f'ing hot!She's affecting my concentration. I keep drifting off to an alternative reality where I'm hers and she's mine. What am I sorry for again?!

"Uhmmm..... for staring/,I mean backing up into you"

I'm a bundle of nerves when I'm around her and never can seem to form a mere sentence. It's the first time anyone has had such an effect on me. This is something new.

"I don't mind the staring,you couldn't help it. If I were you I'd stare at me too"

Really!! Cocky much and she makes cocky look so sexy. Maybe it's the way she's licking her lips.

Snap out of it!!!

"Percy? Right?!"

"Yeah but I never got your name"

"Sorry...it's Khanyisile but my friends call me Khanyi"

"Oh...so you are Khanyisile!"

Her eyes become wide as soon as she says that. I'm guessing she didn't mean to tell me that. She shouldn't be so embarrased though,I know that people gossip about me. Hey that's how I know I'm alive. They can gossip all they want and speculate about my sex life and my kids fathers but they'll never get a confirmation from me.

"I'm so"

I cut her off before she makes any excuse.

"It's okay,it's nothing new.
It was nice seeing you,I've got to get going"

I leave before I embarras myself any further. Just dreaming about the impossible. She'd never go for a girl like me. I know I'm beautiful and I'm not being conceited but I know her type and it's not me. I hear her call my name but I ignore her and continue to my destination.
