When she arrived on Cape Town she lived on Zonnebloem and she bought a house there.it wasn’t easy for her in the first weeks but she picked up so soon and bought a bar.Nomsa told herself that she’s done with men because you don’t need a man in your life to be happy.Things for her went so well she became successful.She kept on telling herself that she doesn’t need a man in her life because she is happy even she’s single.

One day Nomsa was on her bar counting money when this guy came in and wanted a whiskey.

“Can I have double please”he said.It wasn’t even many seconds passed he wanted another two shots.Nomsa was not asking many questions she just offered as ordered.She became so obsessed on the 12th shot.

“Hey mister is everything okay?”she asked.

“Who is asking?”he asked.

“Oh sorry to be rude,I’m Nomsa and you are?”.she said.

“I’m Mike I live around here and everything is not okay so can you give me another shots”he said.

“No you have enough for today I’ll call a cab and take you home”she said.

“No I don’t want to go home please”he said.Nomsa didn’t ask many questions she took him to the close hotel and left him there.

At the morning Mike came to Nomsa’s bar to thank her.”Hey,I wanted to thank you about last night”he said.

“No problem anything for my customers”she said.”So this is your bar?”he asked.”Yeah and I also have coffee shop on the 6th Street from here”she said.

“Oh that’s nice”he said.”So what do you do for living or tell me about yourself “she said.”I’m a Lawyer and I have a wife and two children but my wife wants a divorce since she got a new man for herself that is why I was like that yesterday”he said.

“I’m sorry about your wife man”she said.

“it’s okay.I would like to have a chat with you but I need to get home and check to my kids”he said.”Goodbye”she said.

Nomsa spent her most of the time in her bar,she didn’t go all the time in her coffee shop.Mike always came to the bar just to Nomsa.He liked Nomsa so much but the problem was his wife and he didn’t want to affect his kids.Nomsa didn’t see Mike’s moves because she shifted her focus when it comes to men.One night at the bar Nomsa was sitting there as usual then Mike came in and asked for 2 shots

.”No no not this again”said Nomsa.

“One is yours and one is mine”he said.

“I don’t drink at work”she said.

“Come on you like you need it”he said.

“Okay one and one is one”she said.One became two,two became four,they had shots till they were drunk.

“Mam you had enough for today”said the barman then he took them to the hotel.

Next morning when they wake up,they wake up in the same bed.”Did we…?”said Nomsa.

“No no I don’t think so because we’re dressed”Mike said.

“What happened last night?”she asked.

“I don’t know but what I know nothing happened”he said.Nomsa got up and ran out of room ashamed.She didn’t come to the bar all that day.”I wonder what happened yesterday?”she asked herself.When she was sitting on sofa watching TV she heard a knock from the door and when she opened it was Mike.”Mike what…How did you find me?”she asked shockingly.

“That doesn’t matter what matters I’m here and the reason why I’m here is that I can’t take you off my mind.I know this sounds crazy but I think I’m falling in love with you.I don’t want to say I have never experienced the feeling that I’m feeling for you but what matters is that I’m experiencing for you.You may not love me but I love you and I know you will love me”he said.

“Mike are you still drunk?”she asked.”If this is alcohol that makes this feeling that I’m having for you I’d rather stay drunk than being sober.If I’m losing my mind I’d rather lose it for you”he said.

“You should leave”she said.Mike left without making things hard.

“What is happening to me,I told myself I will never let any man in my life then what am I feeling?Is really Mike the one?But Mike is married I can’t be with him.No one was born with a man here and if you want something you should go and get it”.Nomsa had these words on her mind after Mike left.”No I should get to him”she said and left the house.
