Leseli did not dare to ask about the man who was with Petro, therefore, the later decided it wasn't his place too. after four years, Les was now 22years and still felt she was a kid. when people, even those younger than her talked of relationships she was the only one who knew nothing.
So they often set her up on blind dates. Remember, she wasn't in her country so chances of meeting another Mosotho man were close to zero. Although she never had a list of qualities her dream partner should possess, one thing was clear; it wasn't same sex! She Knew that there were men she found intimidating and cute.
One thing she was desperate to have was the first kiss....She had watched too many movies, and science has failed to describe this phenomenon to her, so why on earth couldn't she experiment it herself?
One day there was a party at one of Petro's friend's house. Everyone was to go, but they had to put on the masks. Leseli was very anxious about this party, she chose a dark mask with contrasting white dots around the eye areas. The colour blended perfectly well with her all white costume. Her slim tall body looked refined and like royalty. Her attire did not imprison her to act like a robot. As they reached the party, Petro made an excuse; which was only a lie. he wanted his little friend to learn socialising on her own....plus he had realised that Lucky was there. Although he had only seen his car, he was positive that this guy was here. Besides, it was his last year in school.
Leseli decided to go to a bar and ordered a martini... after taking two shots, she felt strange. The loud music felt inviting, and she wanted to dance. She comforted herself in knowing that no one could figure out who she was. She approached the dance floor swaying her body left and right, clapping her hands and stamping her feet. She felt lucky that She was knowledgeable in dancing though not an expert.
Soon there was a circle around her and everybody clapped their hands,cheering for this beautiful young queen.
After the song ended, she was given a Mic and the DJ asked:
"Miss what's your name?"
"Does it really matter who I am? I'm just here to feel the music." she sneered.
"Oh!" The DJ said. "If you don't mind miss, can I know your secret?"
"Easy. Go with flow,allow your body to express what you feel."
"You heard that people... now how about we all show what we got."
The music started again, the young DJ approached a small boy who looked bored, "Hey dude,mind taking over?"
The nerdy looking boy answered back "Now you're talking my language ma man... but is it because you wanna rest or you have a goal?"
"Stop being stupid Dave. over to you."
with that the DJ joined the dance floor and snaked his way through to the other side. He was searching!!
He sported Leseli pushing a man who was bumping his ass unto her. The former stood between the two and took Leseli's hand.
"Your Prince is here to your rescue." he said with a devilish grin.
Les bit her lower lip and leaned towards the guy "Then I owe you Prince charming." she whispered in his ear.
The guy bit his lower lip, drawing air sharply. " Shall I have this dance?" he said wrapping his right arm around her.
The duo danced as if there was no tomorrow. What the onlookers saw was a perfect coordination of movements, amazing bond of the two dancers and the passion they clearly shared. after two rounds which took about an hour and a half Les told her partner that she wanted to take a break.
"Where shall we rest then?" He asked,revealing a set of perfect body as he put a scarf around her wais and brought her near him.
"Outside please. I can barely hear your voice or my thoughts."
"Your word is my command." He said caressing her cheek gently; and took a bow "I'm right behind you, I'll go get some drinks."
"Ok." Les said hesitantly.
She exited the house and went to the garden passing couples along the way. She laughed to herself as she remembered that not everyone to the party to have a good time; others came to find love.
"Strange!" she murmured. She felt free like a bird soaring high above, like a butterfly cameout of its cocoon. She felt she owned the world. All pressure she had growing up was lifted from her shoulders. She inhaled deeply and said in Sesotho "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom."
She nearly fell on her face when she felt a pair of arms approaching from her back and circling her waist gently; followed by a deep hoarse voice "I hope I'm the one who makes you feel this way."
Les tried to struggle out of these arms, but they tightened. luckily his scent gave him away; it was the DJ.
"Mph!!!As if" Les whispered.
"Mh...do you know what that whisper does to my poor heart?"
Les looked at him like she was saying 'seriously dude?'
The alcohol she had earlier made her feel bubbly and sexy, she didn't know that she already possessed these traits.
She felt a surge of warmth and electricity coursing through her veins as this strange man drew her closer and nibbled her neck. His warm breath smelled minty as he said "Leseli,I've prayed for this moment a million times. Now I gotta thank my mom n dad in heaven for bringing you here."
"Don't be stupid dude, my two feet brought me here. I didn't see your mom and dad anywhere." She said grinning like an idiot: She had no idea why she was.
He turned her around swiftly and their eyes met!!
These eyes!!This smile! her mind went blank as she ran out of words. Her mouth made an O shape but her voice abandoned her. Before she could figure out what was happening his face was a few centimetres away from hers.
Luckily, his devilish grin was back as he said "do I scare you?"
suddenly he set her free and handed her a bottle of guava juice. "Petro said you love this."
Les was motionless. This guy was so damn familiar. She shook her head and took the drink. She was lost in her thoughts as he said her name louder, she looked at him with irritation in her eyes...but she froze when that face came close to her again.tired of his teasing; she retaliated with a seductive smile and ran her slim long fingers on her lips, she bit her lower lip, the DJ felt like he was pulled by a magnet. His eyes turned into a light shade of brown, he reached out to grab her waist but she laughed out loudly and dodged his arms : "Oh!Mr DJ. Thank you for playing my song." She winked and sat on brick opposite him. "you're the only one scared now."
"If you keep this up, I hope you will also bear the consequences," he squatted before her and held her hands together. She looked like a scare doe trying to escape from a trap but he narrowed his eyes dangerously. His physique could clearly be seen through his T-shirt. His perfect jawline displayed dangerously handsome facial features. She wanted to remove his mask and see who he is.
Tempting.
