Part 11

A thousand pieces Part 11 I don't usually do schoolwork on Fridays and I was so bored in my room so I decided to write him a letter. Letter 2 Dear Mr You wanted to know what the H means? I know you didn't believe the story I told you so I'm going to tell you the truth. Well, it means Handsome, because that's how I saw you the very first time we met. I cannot help myself to stop smiling when I think of all the moments we spent together, most of which are made up of laughter and good memories. You are so fun to be with, you make me laugh my lungs out. Most of the times when I lay on  your chest , I think about all that and how it had gotten to this, how I came to like you so much. I know there's still more I need to know about you but I feel so much close to you, close as in terms of my feelings for you. I want to tell you how I feel but I'm afraid that you will take advantage but I also have a feeling you know that I'm a bit obsessed with you. I hate

Part 10

A thousand pieces Part 10 I didn't have classes this Friday and he was free or perhaps he just made time. He came over to my room in the morning before I was even awake telling me that there is a place he needs to check out but he doesn't want to go alone Me: Does it have to be now? I didn't even shower let alone take breakfast Him: I will let you take a shower, I will prepare breakfast in the meantime. Just don't take forever Remembering that he is a good cook and because I wasn't going to stay in bed all day long, I accepted. I get back from the shower and the guy is under blankets. Me: (shaking him) You? Wake up Him: What is it now? Me: You promised breakfast, that's what it is Me: Or do you want me to join you? Him: No, get dressed. We will get breakfast in town Me: But I wanted the one you promised that's why I agreed to go with you wherever you want to go with me today Him: I wanted to but you don't have  everything I need Me: Okay,

Part 9

I know I said that the sleepover was a total mistake and will not happen again or at least that’s what I told him the day he came to apologize. But there is a part of me that longed to have him cuddle me all night long, feel his warmth and make me feel protected. He showed up the evening of the fourth day after school started. He apparently came to say hello, a hello that turned into a sleepover. This went on for about a month. He would come sleepover every after two days and I would spend the weekends at his place. I started getting comfortable so much that I didn’t see anything wrong with it any longer, I was just happy for whatever we were doing and glad that I have someone to go to after a long day. I however made sure that my friends do not find out because they ought to ruin it all fall for me the minute they find out. Since Alex was at literary staying at my room, I gave him my spare key so he locks up whenever had an early class or if he has to come over but I’m not there (ma

Part 8

He was so helpful, it didn’t take us much time to finish. He asked about my holiday and I told him all that there was to say. He told me how he had a busy flight schedule for two consecutive weeks and spend the other two weeks on a road trip, that’s why he didn’t reach out to me and he apologised for that. I am actually glad that he didn’t text or call because it would have forced me to say things I shouldn’t. I probably would have told him that I fell for him, that I want him for me. I would probably have asked him to change his beliefs and try out a relationship with me. We were all a bit tired from the packing and cleaning that we lay down. But I guess he must have been exhausted (from what, I do not know but it cannot be from helping me since he didn’t do that much) because he was talking one second and the next minute he went mute. For a moment I thought he was just ignoring me when I kept calling his name with no reply so I shook him. The guy was dead asleep. Oh my! What do

Part 7

He texted, I assume after he got home asking why I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want to lie but I wasn’t going to be so stupid and tell him the truth so instead I said, “because I’m afraid I will get attached and I don’t want that”. I don’t know if he really understood or he just said it to not continue the awkward conversation. When I went to bed that night I couldn’t help stop myself from thinking about him, everything about him was so fascinating. I liked the whole of him. Okay, I might have left out a few things about him. I don’t even know where to start if I have to describe him perfectly well because I would hate for anyone to have a wrong picture about him. Well let me start by saying that he is not very good looking, he has got big lips which I loved by the way with very cute white teeth. He is not very tall, just fine height, the way I would love my man to be, a bit skinny too. He always wore a cap and I always wonder how his head looks like. I honestly have no idea of what

Part 6

A thousand pieces Part 6 Who is this guy? Was all I could ask myself when I entered. I knew he graduated from Polytechnic of Namibia (now NUST) with a degree in environmental science  before pursuing his aviation dream. What I didn’t know was what he did with it or what he does in his free time. I’m saying that because his inside apartment was breathtakingly fancy, the place is so clean with a simple yet elegant décor. I have never seen such a huge TV in my life, the two piece of art hanging on the wall looked so amazing and matching his everything which was grey and/or maroon. Everything is nicely put together and as I stood there admiring the sitting room and the kitchen, I couldn’t help but wonder how the bedroom looked like so I asked him if I can have a peek at his bedroom, he didn’t resist therefore he directed me to his room. Almost the whole room was made up of mirrors and he had different colours in it, brown and cream. I could only imagine the time and effort put in. I

Part 5

A thousand pieces Part 5 It would be an understatement if I say I was I was shocked because it was beyond that, I was out of words, my breath was gone. Okay, I know we are just friends but couldn’t he at least leave a note or text. I don’t understand how someone can just disappear, we didn’t argue after all. But maybe this is some sort of message (Actions speak louder than words, I have heard of that saying my whole life), or maybe that’s just him. I’m in shock, I can’t even think straight. Or maybe I said something that offended him so I’m there replaying the conversations we had earlier perhaps I can pick up something that shows that I have gone out of line somewhere but I couldn’t get anything. My mind is flooded with thoughts; I almost went crazy. To get rid of the traumatizing (LOL, I know it wasn’t that deep but that would be the word if I have to exaggerate) event of coming to an empty room where I was supposed to find someone, I decided to play music and practice my dance m

Part 4

A thousand pieces Part 4 Okay, okay Susan it’s enough now. I guess I must have been in his arms for a while for him to say that. I was so excited that I had even forgotten yesterday. He told me had a late flight, that’s why he couldn’t make it yesterday (remember, he is studying aviation). I didn’t even pay attention to that, I was just happy now that he is here. But to make up for that he offered to help me with the washing. What more could I ask for? That was more than enough. One hour after we started, he got a call to go pick up his niece from daycare. You can only imagine the disappointment on my face, I mean we were just starting with everything. The only thing I could do was to ask him to come back to me, to which he agreed. I didn’t have a lot of things to wash therefore I was done before he was back and I went to my room to prepare lunch. I don’t want to say I’m a good cook but what can I say, it’s the compliment I get from everyone who is lucky to taste my food. I shoul

Part 3

A thousand pieces Part 3 I have been busy with mid-year exams so I couldn’t see my new friend. I wanted to see him one Friday after I finished writing but apparently he didn’t want to disturb my exam mode so I agreed to see him the day I finish writing which was two weeks away. I was sad but he was right. Since the day I last saw him, I couldn’t let myself to stop thinking about him. I don’t know what it is but I felt like I was starting to get attracted to him, the feeling was starting to grow everyday so much that I ended up texting him that I would be his future wife, he laughed to that and I thought it was odd and sexy at the same time. I’m normally not a person who would do something like that, even if it was a joke, I don’t know what got into me. Since we already agreed that he will come see me the day I finish writing (a day that was known to him) and because of what I said to him the other day, I figured that he would be thinking that I’m attracted to him and though it i

Part 2

A thousand pieces Part 2 Normally when you give your number to a guy, the first thing they want is to immediately date you, apparently all inlove already, lies, liar. The most important thing they want to know is when you will get a chance to visit them, they want to get you to their rooms and see if they can fool you into sleeping with them. The ones that do that are boys, those immature big men that still has some growing up to do. Anyway, let me not bore you with that. My new found friend was different, not friendship really, maybe just two people who know each other because after that day he didn’t text or call for about three weeks, I almost even forgot about him. I didn’t even remember his face until he posted a picture on his WhatsApp status and I thought he looked different. Only then I realized that I haven’t been paying attention to him that first day. So I was bored this other day after school and I couldn’t disturb my friends because they were studying for their upco

Prologue

Hello everyone? I didn't introduce myself or the story early and no I didn't forget 🙈. My name is Saara, this is my first blog and story and I'm kindly asking for your patience with me. Susan is 18 years old  who is doing her third year in Education at the University of Namibia main campus. She is hard working and she has always lived her life based on what society believe is right. She is a people's person who is also straightforward, everyone around her cherised her. She maintained a good image for herself but all that she believed in changed the day she met Alex, a selfish arrogant young man. He fell for her and the feeling was mutual  but the circumstances around them won't let them be together. Join me as we explore Susan's journey with Alex.

Part One

It was one sunny Tuesday, a lazy one I should admit. I needed to drop documents in town and because of my laziness, I didn’t want to walk the long distance to the gate so my friend and I decided that we will stop a car on campus to drop me by the gate where I will get a cab to town. The many cars that passed by didn’t stop for us and we almost gave up until a speeding red Jetta stopped by a nearby student cafeteria, I didn’t want to ask him but my friend insisted so we waited for him to come back from the shop. When he came back, my friend asked him and surprisingly he agreed. Put on the seatbelt, he said which had to be obvious judging by the speed he was driving at. He told me his name is Alex and never add an a at the end because people have a tendency of calling him Alexa. It was like a 25 seconds drive to the gate but it turned out, he was also going to town to pick up something and agreed to go with me. My lucky day it was.. We started a conversation like normal people woul
