The morning could not come soon enough, I must have dreamt some of the most beautiful dreams in a long time. What I could not forget was the embrace we had, it was like my body was more prescient than my head. The feeling was calming like my blood pressure had come down a good few points. Not something I could remember I felt but from 15 years before.
I was eager for the
day to get on, yet I had to curb my enthusiasm. Mid-morning was the limit of my
restraint when I sent a message inquiring if he slept well and was up for the
lunch date. When he responded in the affirmative, I sent a cab for him as I
prepared for our meeting. I had a good mind of where we should go.
Soul with a soulmate
At the hotel, we made
for Melrose Arch and found a restaurant for a healthy lunch. I probably spent
more of the time talking. He was reserved, he later said he was nervous all
through. I was too mesmerised to notice. After lunch, we called a cab for Sandton
City during which I discovered his quick wit and nothing could conceal his
smile that took over his whole face.
After ice-cream at Häagen-Dazs,
we returned to my hotel to relax, taking pictures before he left for his friend’s
place and then for Bulawayo. I think by then, I had decided there was going to
be more to our encounter, I was already planning my return to South Africa. His
overnight bus trip back to Zimbabwe might have been totally inconvenienced by my
messages. I think I have found a soulmate.
