Forbidden Love

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

UNSPOKEN ATTRACTION

I chatted with Fafa for a few hours. He told me a little about his family and I told him about my family too but omitted some of the things my dad had been saying against people from Fafa’s tribe.

I went home super excited. I took my diary and scribbled my experiences with Fafa down.

The good book said, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.” “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

I was particularly interested in the last admonition “Above all else , guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

I had protected my hearts from predators and tricksters for many years. Now Fafa seemed to be the very definition of my life. He had made my heart vulnerable. I knew I had tacitly given the keys to the door of my heart to Fafa and I believed he will live up to the high standards he had set for himself.

I was not unaware of my friends Jasmine and Grinnell and what happened to them when they chose to trust university boys, but Fafa isn’t just any boy. Even if he was unreliable, It is a risk I decided to take.

The following weeks

My visit to Fafa’s Place became a weekly routine. We became very good friends. I felt so happy whenever I saw Fafa.
I hardly saw him at school because he was always busy doing one academic research or the other. During the SRC election, he was elected by a vote of about 85 %.

He became the university President and a very good one at that. Fafa himself didn’t opt to contest for the SRC election. It was the student body who decided to make him their President. He didn’t even went for the vetting and he didn’t do any campaigning. All he did was to wait and allow the Electoral Commission of the school to compile and collate the ballots and declare him as the winner of the presidential election in the University.

I couldn’t live a day without seeing him. Our friendship soon went deeper and deeper and eventually crossed the boundary of friendship into a relationship except for one thing; we didn’t have sex. He said
“NO”

One lovely weekend, Fafa took me to the beach to catch a glimpse of the sheer force of nature. The picturesque landscape, the golden sands on the beach and the smiling sun as it descended beyond the horizon, was an amazing sight. The roaring of the sea welcome us to its sandy Kingdom, in anticipation of a possible romantic adventure.
I wish the vicissitudes of our love had loosened Fafa’s moral Anchor.

When we sat down on the cool golden sand, we talked about the future and the prospect of living together as married couples.

We sat on the beach chatting and laughing as we stared at the awe-inspiring force of nature. Fafa got up and put his hand out to help me up. When my hand grabbed Fafa’s hand, a pleasurable sensation coursed through my body.
We clung to each other as if there was no tomorrow.

To me , my tomorrow was today and my today was tomorrow. Fafa looked into my eyes. I gave him a sensual smile and itched closer to him for a kiss. He was quite responsive.

The proximity of our bodies increased the insatiable love we had for each other on the vast open angry beach.
