Remember the short piece I wrote two years ago about a guy I met and it was love at first sight …if not go check it out first.

After a week of pondering about the guy, I chose to set out on a journey to track him down. Each day, I would return to the same restaurant at the same time, occupying the exact same seat. This routine turned me into a regular customer, with my own table reserved for lunchtime. And if you’re wondering if I minded dining alone – not at all. Each day, I would inquire with a waiter, who had been serving a different table during the initial incident, about the man. However, he consistently replied that he hadn’t seen him since. It was almost as if the man never existed.

I started to think maybe he was a ghost or I was overdoing things ,why hasn’t he came back to find me yet.Andiswa would often ask where is your mystery guy or has your Mr Ghost came to find you yet and I would always respond with a chuckle and say oh now he’s mine…deep down I knew he was mine I even named him Mr He just to have something to call him.

Days passed ,weeks passed I started to forget about this guy ,I exercise more,I worked more such that I would even forget my reservation at the Dinners restaurant.Few months later I even got into a relationship.

IT HAS BEEN EXACTLY TWO YEARS.

Recently I had just experienced my worst breakup with Sihle ,the guy I was dating for a year.I found out he not only cheated but impregnated another girl.The level of respect I have for my self did not allow me to continue with the relationship hence I dumped him.Now the girl is back to loving herself,going out more and just enjoying life.

It was one sunny day,it was around 8 o’clock in the morning, I just woke up ,opened the windows and the curtains, the sky was blue and there was a fresh breeze of air coming though my bedroom window.I thought to myself what a perfect day to pamper myself. Immediately I called Andiswa.

Nkrr nkrrr the phone rang after a few rings “Hello” ,the person on the other end answered

“Hy what’s on your mind, up for something fun?” ,I said

“Uhm I’ll have to pass ,I have plans”,said Andiswa

I sighed “Not Sandile again”

“I’m sorry friend,you know I’ll do anything for that guy but do enjoy”

She then hang up .

Sandile is Andiswa’s new boyfriend their relationship is 3 months old ,the guy love the whole of Andiswa and I must say I kinda want that for myself.

I then decided that nothing was going to slow me down, I went to take a long bath,moisturize myself, then thought long and hard about what I was gonna wear. Finally I settled for blue long sleeve jumpsuit with a v neck showing my beautiful cleavage and then tied my braids into a ponytail.After that I did my light make up and then put on a red lipstick I then wore black baby heels with a shiny thingy on top which complimented my silver earrings.

I looked in the mirror “Damn I look cute”.Well the ponytail style compliments my face perfectly.

.I then put on my cologne which had a scent of flowers in spring.I was ready to conquer the world. I wasn’t in the mood for driving so I decided to call an uber .2 minutes later my driver was there ,20 minutes later I arrived at my destination. Now you’re probably wondering where did I decided to go, well wonder no more .I went to my favorite restaurant in Ballito ,the food there will make you wanna lick your fingers.I sat on the table and order my favorite dish accompanied with a glass of red wine it was more like a sole date.After I was done I decided that i will go to the bar nearby and have some drinks before heading back.I called the waiter payed my bill and then head out…just as I was at the door leaving the restaurant my phone rang .It was in my bag I grabbed just as I was about to answer it ….I bumped into someone who was also busy with a phone call.

“Forgive my carelessness “I said as I looked up.

My eyes widened…are my eyes deceiving me I thought to myself. I rubbed my eyes and then I opened them slowly. I could not utter a single word.

As I was still lost ….”Are you okay?”the most charming voice asked.

“…..”I just stare

The voice continued “Excuse me Mam ,may I pass?”

I gathered my self and catched my breath “Yeah …yes you may”

As he walked by I looked at him such that I even turned and stare completely only to find out that he will also turn and look.We locked eyes, he had a deep set of blue eyes once again I was lost in these ocean eyes.He was handsomely tall although he was wearing a suit you could see his exquisite body structure which was like a well crafted sculpture and you could tell he hit a gym from time to time .His face was pleasing to the eye,he had a well defined jawline ,high cheekbones which looked like a graceful arch of a cathedral window and and his full lips were like the petals of tulip.I recollected myself and check my phone to find out who was calling .The message pop in my screen

“I am outside your flat ,waiting for you …where are you”

“Oh my …why is Andiswa outside my flat”I sneered. While I was still requesting an uber a car pull up in front of me .He smiled revealing his dazzling raw of pearls.

“Need a ride?”

“Uhm I’d appreciate it” i responded.

He got out and then opened the door for me what a gentleman.

“Where are we heading to”

“Home…my friend is waiting for me”

“Where is home”

I chuckled “Go straight for about 100 km”

I directed him until we reached my destination.

He introduced himself.We did not talk much but I enjoyed every second of it and by the way yes he knew it was me the minute I bumped into him.He did took my number so I am eagerly waiting fo his text or a phone call.
