I remember like it was yesterday, in the middle of the night When I lost the love of my life, the one who gave me hope in everything I did, Steve my lifelong love, that night I wanted to go join him he was everything to me. My love Steve I will never forget him despite everything. Our love was unconditional, I remember my parents really disagreed about our relationship, He was just a simple medical student by training and I was just a high school student full of life, I was in high school, I still remember our first meeting like it was yesterday.
*Backtrack*
It was after school and as always I came home with my everyday guide, Chantrelle, my best friend. I walked with her and typed the comments of the day and all that goes with it is after we stop at a bakery not far away I wanted to snack on something
"Wait, I'm going to get something from the bakery, even donuts if you don't mind." I said
"As if you knew, yes I really want me too I'm going to buy it too" retorted Chantrelle excitedly.
We two agreed and we went, we arrive where the sale of sweet donuts is and we order, it is after unpacking that we decide to take the road for the house, when I go out I pushes me with a young man that unfortunately my packet of donuts falls, it was horrible and my stomach which needed it I did not hold back, very angry and to say that it was the only pieces that I had on me.
"But you can't be careful?? Watch it all go up in smoke"
"Sorry really sorry I..." Steve said.
"And it's this 'sorry' that's going to feed me here?" I asked being all annoyed.
"I'm really sorry and to make up for it I would like to replace . Please come"
Did he have a choice, that's what I wanted to hear because I really wanted to eat donuts, chantrelle decided to wait for him outside and I was only doing one thing, follow this boy to let him buy me donuts....
We arrived and I noticed that when ordering he added what I really didn't expect , my plastic was full from what I had earlier until it didn't falls .
"Here, I hope you're not mad anymore..." displaying a smile.
"But I asked you to replace only those I had earlier, but now I see that you have added." I say surprised.
"Don't worry, it's to make me forgive."
"Hum ok thank you...."
I went without even looking back because it was essential for me that he put my package back, I still laugh about it until now.
"Wow honey, your plastic is.." asked Chantrelle.
"Yes, did he have a choice, you see, he added and we're going to enjoy it"
"Hahaha oh yes"
We continue to walk while nibbling of course.
A few minutes later I arrive home and find Mom in the kitchen.
"Good evening mother "
"You are back ?" asked my mother.
"Yes mom, I'm going to change."
I went straight to my room and took a bath, changed before meeting mom.
I was hungry despite the donuts I had just eaten earlier, my stomach was still crying out for food.
"Hmmm it smells super good, mom what are you preparing?"
"I'm making the pork mbongo with the wall plantain I'll finish soon.."
"I'm really hungry, otherwise Rodrigue hasn't come home yet?"
Oh I almost forgot, Rodrigue is my big brother, of whom we are two children of my parents and I am the last born there, my big brother is also a student and until I know later that he knows indeed Steve since they are in the same University.
"Your brother hasn't come home yet, I remind you that your brother is a student, he can't have the same class schedule as you."
"Ah ok... mum please hurry I am very hungry..."
"If you are so hungry then come and help me.."
Ah with the fatigue I had, no oh I preferred to rest while waiting because I was super tired, so I decided to go back to my room to take a good rest.
A few minutes later I got up and when I looked at my watch it was already 7 p.m., I jumped out of bed because that's when I start reviewing. But before I really had to eat because my stomach was crying out for it.
"Mom "
"There's your dish over there in the thermos, go take it"
I was so happy, super happy. I went to take my dish, I ate and as soon as I finished I digested a little before putting myself in my notebooks.
A night that passes again, the routine what...
The next morning
As always I got up very early to get ready for school because in our high school we don't accept being late, as soon as I finished getting ready as always before leaving I asked my dad for money and he told me even gives it well. We were not an extremely rich family but we lacked absolutely nothing, I take the road to school and you know how it goes in high school, it was a routine, routine routine...
Hours passed, the lessons were going very well and all that's how it was time for the outing and as always my best friend Chantrelle and I went home together... The weather was really bad, we felt it was on. about to rain. At one level Chantrelle and I separated and each continued on their way, bad luck I felt drops of water touching me and when I wanted to take a taxi to get there quickly before the rain was really no longer possible because the rain came very hard, I was looking for where to shelter myself so that it couldn't get me wet. Ah I had found that day a place to stay while waiting for the rain to stop, I was there quietly until two or three people came to join me, it was after them I noticed a young guy to walk to where we were, he had an umbrella with him which hid his face.
But hey, I didn't manage people who found me there, this young man came near me to take shelter and tried to arrange his umbrella, I really wasn't paying attention. When he finished he wasn't looking at me, let alone I was looking at him...
I don't know what fly stung him he fixed his gaze on me
"You ? asked Steve.
When I too decided to put my eyes on him, I didn't know what to say since the face was certainly familiar to me, but where? I asked
"You don't remember me?"
I didn't answer, I just looked at him to express that I had no idea.
"The one from yesterday's shop"...
"Ah yes, sorry I'm not too reminiscent."
"How are you ?"
"Good thanks and you ?"
"Well, apart from this rain which is spoiling my mood a bit..."
I had trouble speaking, I was just showing a small smile, my only concern at that time was simply going home.
"Say I hope you're still not upset about what happened yesterday?"
"No, don't worry, it's over. »
Oh finally the rain has stopped, I was in such a hurry to get home but to my surprise it caught up with me
"I'm Steve"
"Enchanted, I'm Solange"
"Pretty first name, it would tell you that we walk a little to get to know each other better. »
I hesitated all the same to answer because frankly I did not expect that, but good by nature I am very open and respectful I answered him anyway
"Ok no worries, but it might still rain."
"Don't worry there in front we can take a taxi..."
This is how our story at
started today...
