whenever you feel like giving up, remind yourself of how far you�ve come from a place you never thought you�d get out of. even tho you might not be where you want to be yet, still acknowledge & be proud of the growth you�ve achieved so far. you made it this far, don�t give up now .I kept on wiping my lips ,I didn’t want my father to know that someone kissed me..my mother traveled to the city to see her elder brother .I was home with the boys .

I went to see chama off ” I said

I nodded

I smiled ,I could smell smoke coming out of Philip’s nose

there was an awkward silence between us ,I cleared my throat
I wanted to come see you ” I said
and you ended up with the prince instead ” he said

how would you feel when you find me with another woman ” he asked
Philip ,I like you not the prince ” I said
I doubt ” he said
he was upset ,you can even tell by the lines popping on his forehead
look prince ,I mean Philip ..he interrupted me

I grabbed his hand
please don’t be upset with me ” I said
he moved closer
kiss me if you don’t want me to be upset with u

yes ,there is no one ” he said
OK ,you kiss me ” I said
he leaned over and kissed me
just follow the flow ” he said
I didn’t even know what he meant by that ,I just opened my mouth like ,I was letting bees in ..

I nodded
he showed me how to kiss
I wasn’t comfortable with it even one bit …the minute we were done I wiped my lips like no mans business.
