How would you describe a perfect partner?
There isn’t a perfect partner in this world but yet there is a trying partner.
One evening as I stood at a bus rank opposite a big tuckshop as I waited to be fetched. It was my first time being at that place and I felt uncomfortable waiting but I had no choice. I took out my phone to call and check when the person is coming but it went straight to voicemail and at that moment I felt more scared and worried and I impatiently continued waiting, a guy passed by me and went straight to the tuckshop. Within 10 seconds I had a voice ” sawubona” i was shocked and wondered how did he get here so fast, I thought he was still at the tuckshop. We got to know each other and exchanged numbers before we could finish our conversation I heard a call from the person I was waiting for to come pick me up .
And at that moment everything changed. My mind , soul, spirit were glued to the guy . The way he spoke made me believe in second chances , it made me understand and heal .
A day passed I waited for his text but nothing, got really disappointed. That was on a Saturday, Sunday still no messages from him and right there I knew it was to good to be true . I went to church yet my mind still thought of him , his laughter, his smile ( he hardly smiled though ) okay and his body scent ( pretty clean guy) . After church service I got a text from the guy . Unexpectedly everything changed again , we talked in the morning, at night , during the day it was amazing. Few weeks passed he asked to come to his friend’s party as his plus one , I agreed and I had difficulties in choosing an outfit but managed to pull something together and I looked okay.
We got together and this time he was very shy and finally he asked if I could be his girlfriend but I wasn’t ready for a relationship, I made him understand that I’m not a relationship person and he understood although you could see the disappointment. The party was going so fine until his ex girlfriend showed up, she ganged up on me with the other girls but then the guy stood up for me which was very cute and we left .
Later the same day I had a change of heart and told him I can try the relationship thing and we tried it out and we are still trying it out.
