I couldn't wait to let Steve know the aftermath of what we did and trust me, we went to the moon and back to relieve the tension building inside us. I was totally in cloud 9 and never wanted letting off that feeling at that very moment. It reminds me of memories so much that I felt this world really is for the heartbeats and not deadbeats and some, walking dead. Steve was my school mate back in college and we grew to be firm friends and no string attached. The archaic innate traits of a typical African man was the somewhat nature of Steve and his thoughts were gravely influenced by it's innate nature. I wouldn't want to go further because, it's an epistle but an enticing one at that.


I love you was so regular in my ears and it began to irk me like though I had never existed in that world before. My first was Dare but he kicked the bucket before we could go further into spending the rest of our lives together. Well, Steve was a bit different from dare I wouldn't compare. It did happen when we went out for a meal at the Pam's garden. I ordered,he ordered and we ate to our fill. We took wine in turns and it was all Disney. He smelt nice and comfy to touch and feel. Wait, "is my thoughts prolonging the intense feelings I have for him"? I was just dazing into thin air erasing the weird thought and feelings not to let the devil have it's way in us cause we barely knew each other and obviously we were at the talking stage but i knew him back in college.


We met at the store last week coincidentally and we exchanged numbers and started talking painstakingly. We got talking and it felt pure and divine. I wasn't taken unaware and trust me I was prepared for the worst to happen. We bought our space at the Pam's garden and we enjoyed the moment infact i got tipsy first and convinced it was time to let some things go down. I was taken into space already. The wine got us intoxicated in it's silly and dumb aftermath but he was man enough to resist the urge by drinking less so he could drive us home. We got home and It happened as my feelings projected. We did the thing yes that thing unfolding in your conscious mind. It felt reawakening. I slept off immediately and he dozed off as well. Waking up and mesmerized by his abs got me carried away and flabbergasted. I chuckled and felt happy. Indeed, happiness never last and mine, created a vacuum.


I never knew a Deadbeat will rule my world eventually. I couldn't agree to the sudden news heard from the person who called to let me know the guy of yesterday passed on even before he could think of a world starting and ending with us. This takes me back to the aftermath of my ordeal with Steve and painfully did he die before he knew I was pregnant for him. Steve still yet rules me with the heart, beating inside of me, HIS CHILD.
