My Valentine

*Tayme’s diary

*Valentine diary*

I woke up to the sound of shouting and screaming coming from my neighbor’s room, I felt like throwing things at someone but what could I do? I dragged myself lazily across the room, I needed to find out the cause of the commotion or whatever was going on, as I made the journey to my door I almost trampled on my roommate who was still snoring, despite all the noise these girls were making. I muttered something even I couldn’t comprehend. What a shocking, annoying and intimidating sight! Gosh I hate Valentine’s Day, the main cause of the ruckus centered on valentine I wonder how people can go this far all in the name of valentine, like who still believes in love, does it even exist? Right in front of me was a guy who I perceived to be my neighbour’s boyfriend sitting on a pavement with a guitar in his arms rendering his version of You and I by John Legend and the so called girlfriend clutched a bouquet of red roses, they looked fresh but I am sure it was actually synthetic. The girl was red already from blushing so hard. And the rest of the crowd seemed to be enjoying the sight, some were busy taking pictures and making videos of the scene.. Like seriously I almost screamed out, two girls noticed my countenance and gave me that “go find a boyfriend” look… I heaved a sigh and practically banged my door.

I decided to take a stroll after all the early morning drama, on getting to the junction I saw two of my friends who would stop at anything to discuss valentine and end up making plans and when I say “plans” those girls are crazy. I took a deep breath and planned an escape route I didn’t even realized when i stopped a bike and hopped on it before the bike man could ask me my destination I muttered Chicken Republic, by then the lousy duo had close in and I managed a wave at them, and a I would be Right back sign, deep down inside me I had no plans of coming back any time soon. At least I would use the opportunity and get lunch and have fun in my own way without anyone mentioning valentine day to me.

Hell no! Chicken republic reeked of valentine, lovers were seated in all angles. What is all this, I questioned myself. Happy frustration day! I muttered to myself. I managed into the place, I placed my order and got a secluded place to sit and then he walked in…

I tried to snap out of it but it wasn’t working it felt like it was just the both of us in the restaurant, I didn’t even realize that my mouth was wide open, saying he was an angel would have been an understatement, he had fair flawless skin like milk, he spotted a beard, I guess he wasn’t really favoured in the height aspect but i wouldn’t say it was short, he had this sharp pointed nose and nicely formed pink lips, he was dressed in a pair of shorts and a jersey. He took slow lazy strides to make his order. After making his order and picking his tray up he glanced through the room probably looking for a spot to sit, and then it happened.

Like he was walking towards my table, can I sit with you he said in a calm husky voice, I simply nodded trying not to give my self away. He sat and began to consume his meal, I felt so uncomfortable but after 10minutes of awkward silence he asked my name and introduced himself, I then discovered we lived in the same area. Without much difficulty the chemistry between us clicked and to be honest I had the most fun filled conversation in my history of talking to the opposite sex. I felt so comfortable in his presence that I forgot I was supposed not to have a massive crush on him. We spent over three hours laughing and talking it felt like we had known each order for a very long time. We decided to go home together since we had the same path. My house was closer so he decided to walk me to my gate. We said our goodbyes when he hugged me and gave me a peck on my forehead for a moment everything around me was on a stand still I managed a smile and walked towards my room. Damn!!! I was hot…😊
