Melusi

I watched her as she ate her pizza, it was just normal thing but yet here she was looking beautiful as she chew.

I loved watching myself fall in love with someone especially that someone being her, the feeling felt strange but I welcomed it.

Lizzie was more than happy that I had found some love and told me I deserved it and she was right, having to imagine life without her felt like a nightmare.

I thought about the conversation I had with Lizzie day before yesterday –

“I love her.” I told Lizzie over the phone as I leaned on the balcony and watched the sun casted down showing a beautiful shade of blue, pink, purple and orange.

“And do you see a future with her.”

I closed my eyes and all I saw behind the blackness of my eyes was her, no one else but her “I do, she’s the one I want by my side for all eternity.” I said as I realised how much I meant that, it was the first time I said all that out loud and I meant every word.

“Then why not ask her the question.”

I knew what she meant, and that has been what have been playing on my mind a lot lately. Staying with her for such a small time made me realise thay she was the one I wanted next to me before and after I go to bed, she was the one I wanted to wake up smiling next to. “Because I want to do it the right way, I want to get her father’s permission and you know that Melo would never agree let alone his father.”

“Hmm.” Lizzie said over the phone like was thinking about all that I said “That’s a tough one.” She finally said.

“Now look who is daydreaming.” Melokuhle said as she slightly pushed my shoulder making me snap out of my thoughts.
