Part 4

I failed to repair that message. I went to my room and swore at myself for having feelings for such a liar. I felt degraded to the last level.  Tashy had officially proved that she didn't love/like me. I knew things would never be the same after that and I was happy to be alone that to be in a relationship with a liar and a fake.

I then focused my attention to my real friends and family. Adriana officially became my only female friend. I had to take time from the dating game. Tashy had taught me a lesson. I talked to Adriana almost every day and because we got so close and talked that much we named ourselves "text-buddies".

It was holiday time and I had to go back to Zimbabwe for our annual visit. I was thrilled that I was going to meet Adriana. When I told her I was coming back to visit she screamed and I could feel the excitement she had that I was coming back.

When I got to Zimbabwe, I was so happy that I completely forgot about my issues with Tashy. I was having the time of my life.

Just as I thought life would not get any better, my cousin named Wayne visited. The reason I was thrilled is that Wayne was my complete opposite. He was an ultimate player, snagged up, wild, young and free spirited. He was not guided by rules and he would do what he felt like whenever he wanted. I never bothered telling him what happened between Tashy and I because I knew he would confront her. He is that crazy.

That weekend, Wayne and I decided to go out. We were going to meet up with Adrianna at a local restaurant and then go clubbing later that night. Wayne and Adriana had met before and they got along so well that at several occasions I felt out if place. While we got ready for our day, Adriana sent Wayne a message,

"Hey, there has been a change of plans. I am not coming alone. I am going to be coming with a few friends of mine. I just wanted to let you know so that it is not weird when we meet up!"

Wayne told me the change of plans. We then decided to buy some alcohol so that we drink while we entertain Adriana's friends. We dressed up casually, just like two gentleman.

When we got to the restaurant, we found Adriana standing with a group of girls. There were maybe 8 to 10 beautiful ladies standing there. Wayne and I looked at each other with a devilish grin and we knew it was going to be a good day. I knew all of them by name but not on a personal level, there were more of acquaintances at that moment. As we approached the girls, Adriana ran to me and gave me a hug. We both shared the feeling of excitement and happiness that we had met after a long time. As we approached the group, I was shocked that Tashy was there.

When I saw her I looked up and sighed deeply, because Adriana and Wayne didn't know what went down between Tashy and I, I had to act as if everything is fine between us.

After I gave a series of hugs and kisses to the group of ladies, I finally got to Tashy. She wore a huge smile and looked at me seductive eyes and she gave me a long hug. It was too long that the group couldn't help but notice how long it was. When she let go of me, everyone seemed to be cheering for no apparent reason. I blushed and leaned on Adriana's BMW. To make sure Tashy was away from me, I talked to Adriana

"Adriana, I don't like Tashy anymore. So can you cover for me today please?"

"What? I thought she was The One."

"Something happened before I came here. It is a long story, I will tell you later!"

“Ok Nash. But you owe me big time."

"Yeah, yeah I know! Thanks"

We rejoined the group but when Adriana and I got there, everyone kept quiet and looked at Adriana and I. In my confusion I asked,

"What?!"

"So what was you guys talking about that you had to go have your private time?" Tashy asked.

Adriana and I looked at each other and burst into laughter. Wayne joined us just for the sake to annoy Tashy.

“Well Tashy, if you have to know I was asking if Adriana was still coming to club with me?”

Tashy looked aside as if she was angry and to be honest I didn't care. We finally went to have our lunch and it was fun. Everyone was chatting exchanging jokes, debating about teenage drama and music. This was the best time l was having ever since l left Zimbabwe until I received a message from Wayne,

            ‘Why is Tashy looking at you as if you did something wrong?’

As soon as finished reading the text, l looked up only to see Tashy looking directly at me. I quickly looked away only to stare at Wayne who was laughing at my reaction.

            ‘It is a funny story. I will tell you when we get back to the hotel.’

The table became uncomfortable and l could feel the tension between Tashy and I. To my surprise l then received a message from Tashy,

            ‘Hey, can you come outside by the door. I need to talk to you!’

This became the most awkward lunch l have ever had. Tashy then excused herself from everyone because she had to go home but would meet us at the club later on. I offered to walk her out and everyone at the table went silent. There was something going on amongst the girls that l didn’t know. The actions on the table explained everything.

When we got outside she turned and looked at me straight in the eyes and said,

“NASH, WHEN YOU HAVE TIME FOR ME, YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME!!!”

She then turned, pulling out her car keys and l was left standing outside the restaurant speechless!

Thank you, to all my readers. Thank you for the love!!!
