It was already ten to 7 and I was already done with dinner and I had also managed to freshen up. A knock came in, I opened the door and Senzo was there holding a bottle of wine.

He hands me the bottle and takes a sit on the lounge. I take the warm plates to the lounge and sat next to him.

“Thanks for inviting me.” He said as he took the plate and held it on his hands. The plate held samp, stewing beef, pumpkin and beetroot.

“You have something on your face.” I say and watch him try and wipe his sides of his mouth.

“Let me.” I said as I touched his face, he looked at me as I wiped his mouth now I was sitting closer to him, I looked at his mouth gosh how much I wanted to kiss him.

He holds my hand and softly pushes it away, he stands up like I have offended him.

Confused I look at him, what have I done now?

“Thanks for the dinner he said as he hurriedly walked out. I sat there dumbfounded as to what did I do wrong? I wanted to ask him but he was now long gone or did I read the situation differently, does he not want me?

Or maybe I was never destined for good things in life, I sat there on the couch with a glass of wine on my hand with more questions than answers.
