Episode 1

SHARON

I meant it when I said I didn’t believe in love at first sight. It takes time to really, truly fall for someone. Yet I believe in a moment. A moment when you glimpse the truth within someone, and they glimpse the truth within you. In that moment, you don’t belong to yourself any longer, not completely. Part of you belongs to him,part of him belongs to you. After that, you can’t take it back, no matter how much you want to, no matter how hard you try.I believe

in love at first sight

but I will always believe

that the people

we love

we have loved before.

Many, many, many times before

and when we stumble

through grace and circumstance

and that brilliant illusion of choice

to finally meet them again,

we feel it faster

each time through.

The one glance

that set life alight

is two sets of two eyes

staring through the layers of lifetimes and stolen glances

and first kisses and hands held,the brace against the weight and unrelenting tide of waiting.I believe

in love at first sight

but am not burdened with the misconception that it’s a first sight

at all.You see the first thing we love is a scene. For love at first sight requires the very sign of its suddenness; and of all things, it is the scene which seems to be seen best for the first time: a curtain parts and what had not yet ever been seen is devoured by the eyes: the scene consecrates the object I am going to love. The context is the constellation of elements, harmoniously arranged that encompass the experience of the amorous subject

why do you like entertaining those girls ” I asked

how is that your business” he asked busy on his phone

here

Raymond really am your girlfriend but why do you like treating me like am nobody to you ”i asked

we got in the man’s car ,I kept checking my phone to see if ray has texted but no text or call ,that’s what happens when you sleep with a man on a first date ,I wasn’t a virgin,if I was I wouldn’t have opened my legs for me ..

I got out of the car and jasmine remained in the car..I walked in our room .

I had my supper and went to sleep .

I was disturbed by a call .

hello ” I answered with a sleepy voice .

I didn’t recognize the voice so I checked the caller ID and it was a strange number. .

I hung up .

I checked the time and it was 23:46hrs ..and to my disappointment ray didn’t even call me some ..I cuddled myself to sleep …I woke up at 05 and started preparing for my 8hrs class. .

I wanted to pass by Ray’s room before I go to class .

she didn’t say anything ..I walked out and went to his room ,he was sleeping ..he smelled like he slept in a tank of beer.

hey ” I shook him gently

am sorry was worried about you ” I said

ad you can see am fine ,would you let me sleep” he said

okay babe ,I love you” I said peeking his lips

okay” he said

I got up and went to class ..I received a text from Caleb. I just ignored him .
