I was glowing. I was in love. Yes’,its unbelievable ! Laz took me to the moon , not the real one but literally. I found myself blushing when I thought of him. Though I love chatting with him daily and every hour,he preferred to call but not everyday. I was walking on cloud nine. I was floating and nothing could steal the joy. I was grinning from ear to ear those days.,hoping they last longer. He made me start a day with a smile. He was definitely my dream man. 

” I am at work ,I will chat when I find time,” he charmed me.

” My mozzarella, my cheesecake, the warmth of my home, I am only happy with you,” he would recite this every time. It always charmed me.

” What made you make a move on me?” I was desperate and curious to know. I knew he was sitting on wrong place like me,the day we first met in the bus. He was trying to get what he wanted .

” I liked your legs ,” he chuckled.

The answer hit me a shock,I was expecting a different answer. I wanted him to tell me or show he felt when he set his eyes on me and his feelings . Anyway he liked something on me . He looked shyly when he said that though and I saw it on his smile. His kisses were promise of good things to come,I loved it when he whispered in my ears. It was a good mood to be cosy.

He was generous too,he brought food and we shared . it was like the movies and when I asked him to do something,he did it with pleasure. We would chat on and off. I didn’t want to pressure him because our relationship was still new. He would send a greeting with emoji with kisses or love in the morning and we chat maybe ten minutes,he would just view my messages and skip. It kinda freaked me out ,I wondered why he slept early on daily basics. I suspected he was cheating or maybe he was married. 

” Chill, maybe he is just busy,” I comforted myself at night. Maybe he was different from all the guys i dated. I aren’t comparing but there are expectations I wanted .I was hoping we would talk about ourselves . The void was killing me though I haven’t known more about him. I should be patient. Good things come to those who wait ,I thought and tried focus on my work.

One day I was busy trying to snap selfies and he was behind me,I got the shock of my life. How did he arrive here? The world seemed to disappear when I was with him. But he was always quiet as if he had a heavy burden on his shoulders. 

” You scared me,” I smacked his stomach softly. The smile plastered on my face making me glow.

” Take the photos ,” he chuckled while he posed for them and I busted in a laughter. His voice was like a sweet melody especially when he laughed.

” I want to be in the picture ,” he grabbed my waist behind him. His soft hands were so gentle and warm. I snapped a picture of both of us. I didn’t know it was the last day to see him. I was already missing him.

Our chats were still the same ,I had questions to ask ,I really loved him and wanted to know more of him. I was missing his warmth. Actually I was hungry for him. I longed for him ,wanted to be with him all days of my life.

What is your surname?

How old are you?

Do you have kids?

Are you married?

I don’t know what was Laz’s problem ,he never replied Good morning still came and if only he knew what his ignorance was doing to me ,he would have answered. How can I date someone I don’t know much about? I wanted to dump him but my heart ached. My instinct told me I never know what he was up to if I didn’t give him a chance. I need to see know where the relationship was going.

I suspected maybe I was too demanding ,maybe he was going through do much in his life or stressed. My mind was over working, I was just curious to know what was happening in his head. Let me give him space. I did but my mind started to suspect he was cheating. This were signs of a cheater and I dumped him after a month of dating. My heart was broken,he never said any side of story or anything and I felt like a loser. He was all I thought and I dreamt on daily basics. It took long for me to move on ,I had to delete our memories of him ,maybe I would move on. But I had hope one day he would look for me or give me a surprise visit. I was a fool in love . Tears stream on my face as I clutched tightly on my knees while sitting ,leaning on the wall in my bedroom. The joy of his love evaporated like a drop of water on hot sand.
