A Cold Alien Guy

INTRODUCTION

There’s always that guy… the one who always understands. Yes, the one who just knows the right things to say and when to say them; the one who fits into last minute plans without complaining? The one who will listen to you speak your heart out when you are troubled. The one who will watch the sunset with you and won’t mind breaking the night with you when you can’t sleep. The guy who always picks his phone, the guy who is never too busy for you, the guy who will show up even when he knows you are calling only because you got disappointed. The one who is selfless with his money? The guy who won’t mind sacrificing his important activities just to accommodate you. The guy who laughs at all your silly jokes, the guy who doesn’t mind you being clumsy or grumpy. Always understanding. The one whose answer is usually “no problem...” the guy who is everything but the one. He is just not the one. As a matter of fact he is nothing like the one. You don't like him, you don't fancy him, he doesn't tickle anything in you.. He is just not the one!

Thandiwe is the name, the age isn’t the problem. I presume, unless you just haven’t identified him, there is always that guy. That guy in this case is Henry.. but he isn’t the one.. the one is Ndaweni.. the most handsome guy I have ever come cross. Accountant by profession, tall, perfectly built and absolutely amazing. So amazing he actually makes it obvious. Many are the times I feel like I’m pushing for this relationship to work. I know many of you will say I should leave but naaa.. you just don’t leave like that. Guys are hard to find these days you know. Guys that you actually like, very rare. But why do they grow big-headed? It always starts out so well up until they know you like them. Suddenly the relationship is a pain... you literally have to hold it together and you feel like a nag. Yes they come around once in a while but that’s just to boost their ego. The moment you seem to play the silent treatment they come back with their tails folded and as we are so loving, we tend to fall in love and lay down our hearts again before they trip once again. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Great let me tell you about my life then.

CHAPTER 1

Where did it all start? It was summer of 2016, I was drained with so much work and I just needed a break. A time to hang out and just relax could help. But then again I knew getting home would be another chapter. I would probably just sleep instead. See, if you’re in marketing like me, it’s important to note that you cannot afford some decent rest. Sleep is apparently too expensive. You always have to meet deadlines because for every sale you make, the money comes in. How much you want all goes to how much you put in. I loved my job because it accorded me the opportunity to meet new people. And I mean people from all walks of life. The company I worked for sold printers and computers to firms or willing individuals. I joined mid-2015 and by 2016 I got an award for the most motivated employee. I made a decent amount from it. All was going perfectly fine but one part... the relationship life.
