Donald's pov

I walked into the priest when he was on call, seeing me he held out his hand signaling me to wait a bit. I made myself comfortable as I wait on him to end the call with whom ever he was speaking with.

"Donald" hearing the priest voice, I look up from what I was typing on my phone.

Standing up I gave the priest a handshake at the same time gaving him a hug. Yes he is a priest but for the past few years I have known him, he has become a good friend of mine and of course don't think he is an old priest for he definitely not, for he is a young handsome priest. God have mercy on my poor soul.

"Father you sent for me?" I asked him while sitting down.

"Yes Donald" he responded while taking a sit as I waited on him to continue his statement.

" first of all, have you met the women they have disturbed me enough, all because they believe I know your where about and how to get through with you?" He said   chuckling in between making chuckle also while looking at my friend's funny face.

" yes father as a matter of fact, I was with them when I was informed of your request to see me. But father don't blame them, they are right you know?"

We kept making jest of ourselves, asking ourselves normal questions friends usually asked which of course included, him asking me of my love life which my only respond was a chuckle and a wave to the wind signalling for home to forget it, which he did after much advice.

" speaking of the pilgrimage plans since am moving to another parish soon, you will work with the incoming priest."

"Yes father, you just have to inform him of how far we have gone with the plans and make an introduction. The only problem I might have is if he is not a good listener like you are."

"Nah he is, you will love him when you meet him, let me send for him."

I don't know how I didn't notice, how I didn't hear the pata pata of his sandals on the marble floor, or the gentle Presence that joined us while we waste away in our gist, maybe is due to the fact I never expected this very person standing before me, with a face dazzling so bright and a voice the can make a man with heart of stone like mine melt, with a statue so fragile, seeking for someone to hold and protect him. In face he is the most handsome creature I have ever seen.

I was still lost in thought and admiration as I imagine on how to claim him, protect him and love him throwing all caution to the wind.

I need him, I need him so so much.

I guess when love comes knocking, you have no option than to welcome it.
