ME AFTER YOU 2

WEZI P.O.V

This stomach ache has just ruined my plans. I thought I could hold it out but I guess with the amount of food I had for lunch t couldn't just wait. Plus that Tsepho guy is really giving my best friend a hard time. She's been trying to talk to him all night but his just being an ass.

Jonas wanted to join us too but I suggested that he stays with his friends so they don't feel alone. But instead they decided to move the party to his house and carried us with them. Their excuse was i could sleep in bed while the rest can be in the living room having fun.

When we got to the apartment we were all assigned rooms and I had to share with Tash while Tsepho crushed with Jonas but at one point in the night the roles were reversed.

TASHA P.O.V

my eyes were glued to the screen by the time the movie finished everyone had gone to bed except Tsepho who was glued to his phone.

"How come you still here? Everyone else has gone to bed?"I asked with a yawn.

"I don't think its that late. Everyone decided to cuddle through the night and since we do not have cuddle buddies we are still here."

"Ah I see. I'll be going to bed then you can continue whatever you doin.."

" Don't you want to cuddle with me."

" I beg your pardon?"I must have headed wrong because he wouldn't even suggest this in the first place.

"Don't you wanna cuddle with me. Just keep each other company through..."

"No I don't. Am not a fun of cuddling and its pretty warm for that. Why don't you go to Trinity so that you..."

"Don't you dare mention her name!"his words were rough and sharp "Is that what you've been doing all night snooping through my phone. I know you trying to seduce me but I wouldn't be caught dead in bed with something like you. I was just joking with your ugly ass."

Ouch. Its like someone had cut off my legs. How did we get here?I was in a trance and the only thing that woke me up was Tsepho's groan.

When I looked Caleb was hitting him. Jeni was wiping my tears and hushing me ,rubbing my back and apologising .The noise must have woken Jonas and Wezi because in no time Jonas was pulling Caleb off of Tsepho.

Jeni led me to the room so I could sleep. I closed my eyes but my mind was alert. Not long after that Zi came in and pulled me to her side. I broke down. My heart was bleeding. I know am not the most attractive person but I can't be that horrible.

"Don't even think of giving yourself am not so bad talk... "This girl must have a reading minds super power."I talked to Caleb and he said his having a serious anger and mental problem right now. Its something to do with his girlfriend .Her name is Trinity and when ever someone mentions her name he just blows up and loses his mind. Jeni said he must be depressed or on drugs because its kind of serious. You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time my love. Don't forget that you were voted as Minisota's woman of the year because of your beauty and brains. Don't let him get to you. Micheal wouldn't want that."

At the mention of his bema I broke down. Maybe if he went with me all this wouldn't have happened .Its all his fault he patted me too much now I can't even stand on my own .

Actually When Tsepho said those words I just imagined Micheal saying it to me. Maybe his finally realized and that's why he hasn't called me in three months.

*****

When I woke up I felt really better. Zi had already left and when I checked the time its was 2 in the afternoon. Wow I haven't slept that much in a long time.

I get out of bed and realize that I one point in all the mess my cloths were changed. I was in a t.shirt and shorts which am guessing belong to Jeni.

I walk to the kitchen and smell even makes my stomach grumble.

"Someone is hungry."Jeni says as I walk in the kitchen.

"Hope you enjoyed your sleep?"She asks as she places a cup of juice and a plate of eggs in front of me.

"I surprisingly slept very well."

"That's good to know. Eat up so you can take a shower and come join us for lunch. Everyone has gone grocery shopping for the week."

I eat up and then rush to take a shower. When am back there's a pretty yellow floral summer dress on the bed with a note.

"I know no words can describe how beautiful you are and how much you mean to us but we hope this token can give you a hint.

J.W.

This definitely a match made in Heaven. I put the dress on tie my hair head out.

"You make me very in easy."Tsepho's voice says from behind me and I turn to face him.

" That's still Jo excuse for how you spoke to me yesterday."i snap at him "You not the only one going through stuff but some of us man up and face them instead of throwing them around. Now if you may excuse me I want to enjoy the rest of my day without you ruining it for me."

With that I walk off to the garden where the rest are already sited wait for me. I take the empty seat next to Zi and Jeni while Tsepho who comes in a few minutes after me sits at the far end next to Caleb and Jonas.

"This is really good Jeni. I've always wanted to taste Korean food."I say suppressing a moan

"It isn't only their food but their men too."Jonas jumps in and the rest break into laughter. This must be an inside joke because only the four of them are laughing .

"But honestly I've always wanted to go to Korea."

"But what has been stopping you?"

"Well nothing now. Before I couldn't stand the thought of leaving Micheal behind and I wouldn't want to drag him with me. He had his own dreams but he could give them up for me"I smile sadly at the thought of him. he was surely he worlds finest.."Plus I didn't know anyone from there my parents wouldn't have allowed me to go."

"Now you can come. You have Caleb and I there."

"Yes you do. And we can help you get a job there. Both your papers can help you do something while you further your studies."Caleb adds

"Thank you ."

"Hey don't thank us yet. Do so when you there okay."Jeni says while squeezing my hand "If you don't mind me asking where's Michael now. What happened between you two?"Jeni asks Calmly.

"His in Geneva now. We decided to end things when he left."

"But why did you?You could have easily waited for him."From the look on Wezi's face I can tell Jonas asked something that she always wanted to know.

" I didn't like the fact that he would choose me over himself. Don't get me wrong it was the most beautiful thing but I wanted him to go out there and explore,fulfill his dreams and if he we met and still wanted each other then I would be great full. I didn't want him to grow up and resent me for the dreams he missed because of me or me resenting him for the dreams I couldn't go for. We were young when we fell in love and all we've ever known is each other. At some point I thought maybe I loved him cause being with him was comfortable,maybe it wasn't really love. And I also didn't want to be the reason he and his mom always fought. I also wanted her to love me because I was good for him and not his down fall."I don't feel the tears falling down my face till Jeni hands me a hanky"I wanted him to love me but also be himself and not just settling because he loves me no."

"That's so selfless of you Tasha."Jeni said while patting me on my back.

" Do you regret it sometimes ?"Wezi asks sadly.

"Sometimes no. All the time."I laugh sadly "But I look at the memories we shared and they push me through. I tell my self this is best for us. I pray everyday that I may not regret this when am old and lonely because I'll be very sad then. I love him a lot and it is because of that that I still push."

There was a comfortable silence. This talking made me realize that I needed to say this to someone. Wezi has been busy with work that we haven't gotten to it. I think she know how sensitive I still am about Micheal and that's why she has been avoiding it.

But am going to best the best of this time and not regret anything. Am

Natasha Mesha after all.
