The two talked for a bit. Les was indeed impressed by the type of man DJ was. He was open, calm, charming and honest. Though she liked him deeply, this was her first time. As a woman who loved to be in control of each situation, she shuddered when she discovered that his kisses which were oh! so gentle brought about uncertainty.
Molemo held her in his embrace. After sharing his deep secret he did dare finish the entire chapter of his life but he had told her of his beginning.
He loved her. He was sure of that. He could not bring himself to tell her that he had a fiance chosen by his parents when he was young. He never met the girl nor her family, and he never gave a damn about the whole issue because he was in love right there and8 then.
He caressed her face gently. He had to urge his heart to calm down. "One step a time," he kept shouting in his mind.
The woman in his arms was indeed a germ. He had heard stories of this aspiring doctor but then he paid no attention. He always thought he loved yellow bones, but he discovered they held no candle in comparison to the dark skinned petite woman.
As he was playing jury in his mind he didnt realise that she was looking at him with those huge beautiful brown eyes.
....
Les could not believe that she had a boyfriend! After Molemo left she threw herself on the bed, covering herself with both her hands. In the 23 years of her life she had never felt this reaction from her heart!
She even questioned why people in love had no high blood pressure because of how her heart was thumping within her chest.

Suddenly her phone rang, she reached it and answered the call without caring who it was. Petro's voice came through, along with shrieks from his family.
They were asking if she was ready because everybody couldn't wait to see her.Uh; she had forgotten her promise to attend mass with them. She decided to change into a light blue dress and some flat sandals. She styled her natural black her into a ponytail, tying it into a bun at the end. She decided against any make up and hurriedly left the room.
The chapel was a few minutes from the varsity. Petro and his family were waiting for her. The kids ran over; each fighting on who missed and loved her the most.
Her heart melted. She remembered how she came to know this amazing family.... A union; be it friendship, family or relationship united in Christ would always stay together.
She gave the two kids a hug. Even going back home, she would miss these souls.
"Les, my English has improved. when my teacher asked me the reasons I told him that we have a Mosotho friend to whom we can only communicate in English." Andy bragged.
"Come on, you did not miss her, all thats in your mind is how she helps you get good grades," rebuked his younger sister. "Les how about you teach me to cook some Basotho cousines?"
Les could only smile. Since when did the young lady learn how to cook? However she did not persue it. She understood as a woman that the lady might have a crusg to impress, she had no way of retaliating; she could only give in to their demands.
She could was pleased to meet her friends after coming from home. They chatted a bit and when the bell rang, they went into the church for mass.
........
That day's teaching was on love. How apostle Paul wrote to Corinthians that love is selfless, faithful and has no jealousy. Les felt her heart feeling serene. Apart from her family's love sge thought she could never find this different type of love.
Yes they have not known each other for a long time but she felt it within her.
She was especially attentive to all proceedings that day, besides the young priest F.r Francis O.M.I seemed well versed in both the Bible and its relation to practical life.
As if reading her mind, she heard him differentiate on the parental love, brethren love and love between partners. He indicated that love which had feelings of compassion, intimacy and passion was solely between lovers and it was the most delicate one considering the 21st century culture among youth.
When the mass was completed, Les and Petro's family left. That day Les had to take the kids as the two lovers had taken the teachings to their hearts and were getting all lovey dovey
