If he isn’t the best thing to ever happen to me, then nothing good will ever happen to me. It’s as simple as that.

Sebastian, my adorable Sebastian, my charming boyfriend paid me a visit at work! Can you imagine! I mean, okay, it’s no big issue, really. It’s nothing out of the ordinary. He’s my boyfriend after all, hey! So, it’s not a big deal when he takes me out to lunch, ait?

Gosh, you should’ve seen the looks on some of my colleagues’ faces when I introduced him as my boyfriend – especially Kathrin, a journalism graduate from Germany. But, hey, we will talk about her some other day.

As I was saying, it’s something to appreciate, really, when your boyfriend still gives you time when majority of boyfriends are doing their best to evade their girlfriends. Yes, thanks to St Valentine’s Day, most sisters are left in the lurch during this time of the year.

Yep, that’s the love of nowadays. The cheap love of the 21st century, hey! I sometimes wonder what happened to real, unconditional, selfless love. The love letter writing kinda love – now that’s love! I mean nowadays people are so preoccupied with themselves that they hardly make time for those they love. It’s so rare to find a young couple picnicking nowadays. Or even just holding hands in public spaces.

I guess that explains why I’m so ecstatic about having lunch with Sebastian. Lunch outdoors, at the foot of Table Mountain, is a pick me up for any other day! There’s nothing that beats the warm sun, the flawlessly blue skies, the natural breathtaking beauty of Cape Town and, of course, the laughter and company of the man you love.

Anyways, I really had a good time with my boo… but, of course, what else did I expect? I mean he’s the best deal!

I just got back to the office and everybody’s giving me funny looks… And one of the tarts, even made a stupid comment. She recons Sebastian either did something wrong or he’s gonna ditch me on Valentine’s Day. Really!?

Some people just don’t know how to be loved. A man treats you like a queen and there’s something wrong with him.

Gosh, what time is knocking off time again? I can’t stand all these stares!
