Chapter 1

It was on the winter season of 2019. I was with my family at BoraBora islands North America. We arrived earlier than expected to our rented house and as we were checking in, my eyes caught up with something, well, at least someone. It was a girl. As beautiful as an angel. She walked past me majestically with her figure eight body lashing out on me. Her looks were so divine making my mouth drop wide agape. I didn't tell anyone about this encounter since just by mentioning a girl i like in my vocabulary around my African parents will certainly lead to my death no questions asked. I needed to get her attention somehow but all my efforts proved to be futile. The best i could do was having eye contact which left me gazing at her sky blue eyes. Just as i went for my final approach to see whether the phrase three times a charm actually works, out of nowhere this surprisingly huge guy, with perfect skin chiseled jawline who seemed to be in his late twenties walked boldly out of the blues and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Jealousy clogged my mind for some apparent reason and curiosity took the better part of me and i definitely had to know who this surprisingly hot guy was. "How, why?" Is what I constantly asked myself. I mean sure the guy was mr perfect and all but something didn't add up yet and later on one statement she said left me speechless." Hi dad". She said in a sweet voice that would bring out the morning birds to sing. "Phew"I heaved a sigh of relief hoping it was but a fragment of my own imagination taking the better part of me. Returning back to my senses, i didn't even realize how close i was to her, i panicked, sweat trickled down my cheeks, my heart pounding like crazy and my mind going in sixes and sevens. "Amm wait aah what should i say? !Without hesitating i ran as fast as my chubby legs could take me and went straight to the washroom mirrors where i looked at myself with such despise. " I'm such an idiot, a bloody coward!" Is what i constantly told myself. Soon my parents called me for dinner. I took out my Mp3 and played some music hoping it would cal my thoughts. As i walked with my family towards the dinner table minding my own business and following the directions my instincts showed me i accidentally bumped into an unexpected encounter.
