Encounter

“My friend would come pick you up “ kandy said over the phone while i waited by the roadside. I was not really comfortable waiting by the roadside as i had been physically attacked a year before, I still suffered trauma episodes..”Joey?” A dark skin guy about 5”8 tall ..erm yes I answered he turned around and started walking down the road whole he continued talking on the phone very subtly. We had walked for about 7 minutes then stopped at a house where the party was happening, he left me as soon as we walked through the door ...there were a few people  talking In corners .I was still standing trying to figure if I knew anyone when she screamed bitch!!!..I turned around to see kandy walking towards me with her arms open wide for a hug , I ran into her arms.. it was amazing seeing someone I was familiar with. She was taller than me which was not very usual for a girl as I am about 6ft tall. “baby how have you been?... where is mannie ?”...who ?, my friend who came to pick you up. That’s his name? I answered. ..’huni’ she laughed....well he didn’t  introduce himself .

“mannie meet joey, joey meet mannie “ kandy said when mannie had managed to get off the phone and decided to join us while standing in a corner as the music played in the background, “he had just broken up with his boyfriend “ oh wow I am sorry I replied . I had no idea he was gay I thought...he gave a shy smile and said thank you, maybe he is not so uptight I said ,we all conversed for a bit more mostly kandy and I while enmy just smiled and stood there like a real gentleman. Oh shit!!!..why am I seeing his differently now?.. could it be because I just found out he us gay or because he just got out of a relationship and I so badly wanted to be his saviour..his shoulder to cry on ...not too long after a lanky tall guy approached us and starts making conversations ..it becomes obvious that he is intersection in kandy they keep talking ,mannie and I exchange looks and we walk away and stand a few feet away .. so what happened with you and your ex , I don’t want talk about it he answers with a smile ,he is so sweet I think to myself, always smiling ... still fresh I replied ..exactly!! he answers. ...so tell me about you I ask “I am 21 a junior in college ..I love music, sports,...and incase you were wondering I am a top!..well I wasn’t I replied I mean I.. I hmmm .I smiled..he smiled back “so what about you?” i am 22 in my final year of college ,I love music, art, fashion and the likes and I am bottom if you were wondering....he laughs maybe I was, maybe I wasn’t ...of course you were I said ,look at them pointing towards kandy and the guy she was talking to ,they are practically in love he answered with a laugh ..well at their wedding we are going to say we were there when it all started!...right? He answered with a smile .It was about 4am and  he had asked me to come upstairs with him to a bedroom, are we going to hook up or make out I thought..we sat on the bed talking about our favourite band when I leaned in for a kiss and he pulled back...embarrassed  I apologise, I am soo sorry  I didn’t mean to ..actually I did, I am sorry if I misread the signs but I thought?...no it’s not you, it’s me he replied I can’t.....I don’t want to disappoint you” ..how do you mean?..I asked..I have not been able to hook up with anyone since the break up, oh it’s okay I replied.....do you want to sleep for a bit he asked..why I answered..  so we can cuddle....erm sure I say as he spoons me and soon sleeps ...while I lay down listening to him breathing while my thoughts run wild “I am sure he doesn’t find me attractive, Is he cuddling me as a consolation for rejecting me, or cause he misses his boyfriend and needs someone to cuddle with to sleep good “ before I know it’s bright , I wiggle my way out of his arms and quietly tip toe out of the room, kandy grabs me by the hand while I try to slip out the exit door, “so I see you and mannie spent the night together oooh do tell “ nothing happened I replied  ,I think he is not interested in me...what?...I doubt that she answers, well I gotta go huni toodles I say as I give her a big hug and leave. In the train on my way still reminiscing on the disaster that just happened I get a text from an unknown number that read “hi ,it’s me mannie, got your number from kandy”...I smiled ,and before I reply I get a text from kandy “he likes you and finds you attractive “ ..I smiled and took a deep breath as I stated out the window.
