Melokuhle



I turned my head and looked at Melusi as he came holding a pizza box and sat down next to me.

It has been 1 year 4 months since we have came here and all have been great, Cape town had really been amazing as we had a place right next to the beach.

Smelling the ocean each morning has been heaven, waking up next to him has been a true dream come true.

It felt like we took a pause from reality for over a year and I loved that even though we never went out because Melusi feared he might be seen.

“What are you thinking in that cute mind of yours?” He asked as he kissed me.

I shrugged as I looked at him, he had gained a tan ever since we started staying here, he even started smiling more, each day I fell more in love with him.

I tore my eyes away from him and looked at the beach as it splashed along the shore and took a deep breath, although this has been an amazing dream I still wonder about my parents, even though I hate what they did to me I still missed them.

I wondered often how things would have turned like if they had accepted our relationship.

“Hey.” Melusi said as he held my hand “Are you okay?”

I smiled as I took a slice of pizza “I’m good.” I said as I pushed back all the thoughts at the back of my mind as I tried to live in this moment.
