PIECES đź’”
Finally! it was morning.The thought of meeting him on that Saturday made me even more excited.I didn't want to be late,so I prepared myself and by 9 I was good to go.I texted him to find out where he was and he told me he was still home and that he would be there in 30 minutes.
"Pheeew, atleast I have 30 more minutes to compose myself",I said to myself.
I really needed more time for composure,the previous week we had just confessed our feelings to eachother and I didn't know how to behave after such.
After some good 30 minutes I received a text from him.It said,"Dear,I'm sorry for being late but I'm on my way, kindly walk towards our usual meeting place,I will catch up with you."Goodness,that text meant he was near,I was still for a moment then I started walking slowly towards the place he just texted about.I raised my head but still there was no sign of his shadow.i stood for some time then I saw him coming from a distance.i walked towards him slowly then I stopped walking,he approached me slowly,he smiled and then he passed me by.
"Mmmmh,he's so full of himself ,I said to myself."Just because I told him I have feelings for him doesn't give him the right to keep me waiting for so long."
I was planning on leaving the place if he wasn't going to turn,but it's like he read my mind,he turned around and smiled at me,I couldn't help it,I smiled back at him,he waited for me and I caught up with him and then we walked together towards the park.
We talked for a while.
I told him I had missed him and I gave him a tight hug.We glanced at eachother and smiled.We were both quiet after that.
After some minutes,I heard him say something.I didn't even hear what he said but then he hugged me tightly.He hugged me for some minutes,so I wanted to break free from his arms but before I could do that,he kissed my lower lip and let me go.
I didn't respond to his kiss,I just looked at him.He did it again and looked at me,I felt shy but I loved the feeling.
He got closer,held my waist and kissed me slowly,I couldn't help it,I kissed him back.This being my first kiss,felt so good,the feeling is just indescribable.
It took some minutes,but as I tried to kiss him he pushed me away and told me to check the time.
I checked the time and i was running late for my lessons. He looked into my eyes and said nothing.We were both quiet,after some time,he broke the silence by telling me to stand up as I was sitting on his laps.And then he said,"Let's go or you'll be late."
He escorted me to class and went back.Luckily, the teacher wasn't there,so I had all that time to think about that encounter.I stayed there for hours and still my teacher didn't show up,so I decided to leave the premises.On my way home I couldn't stop thinking about that moment.
I was always checking my phone to see if he had texted, but no,he neither texted nor called me that day.
I thought about what happened the whole night until I slept and when I woke up it was Sunday. "Church!"it clicked in my head. I prepared myself and went to church.When I got back I checked my phone for his calls or messages but no, nothing at all.I was so low after that.
It was almost 18:00hrs and I had no word from him,so I decided to give him a call.I asked him if he had gone to church and he said no,I asked him the reason and he said the reasons were to be kept to himself.He brought up the topic about the previous day,he said it was so amazing.So I asked him what was next after that and he cut the call.
I couldn't believe it,he had never done that before.i wanted to know why he did that, so I called him again,he picked up."What do you mean by what's next?"he asked me.
I didn't answer him.I knew he knew what I meant.He eventually said it,"is it like entering into a relationship?"
"Something like that",I responded softly."Uuh,weee wee caan't b beee in a reelaationship, because I have a girlfriend",he said with doubt and remorse in his voice,and he cut the call.
I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces when I heard those words.It felt like a sword with very sharp ends had passed through it.I couldn't feel my heart beat anymore but I could feel the thousand pieces it had been broken into.
