Love In A Photograph.

I let myself fall for you and even when I knew you were never going to catch me, I fell and had bruises which you were never able to heal, scars that left me with memories I'd never be able to forget for a lifetime.

I stared into space thinking of how my life has turned into this mess. Breeze blew in and out of the arena making practical eerie sounds. I needed this space to think as very soon, it would be filled up to the brim with people who couldn't wait to see THE William Densel perform. It was hard, really difficult to understand the concept of love, but with Densel, things came real and natural but I guess I was only better off as his P.A, I was nothing more to him and that broke me.

After moments of having alone time to myself. The hall was filled and fans were screaming so loudly especially the female gender. I mean, who wouldn't?Densel was the definition of picture perfect. Killer smile, Killer body and perfect career. The arena was so bright that the light was almost blinding. People also put on the torches of their phones and everything was just so beautiful. I turned and looked at the smile on Densel's face and he looked so amazing. I started my day dream of how I met him and it all played in my head over and over like a tape.

I met him at a restaurant where I went to get lunch. He was there smiling like an idiot at the ice cream stand and I've never met someone who was so excited to lick ice cream in my entire life. I approached him and when he turned to look at me, I couldn't resist.

"Tanya Davis at your service my Lord." And he laughed so hard and I stared at him in amazement. I stared at how his eyes squinted as he laughed and nothing brought more satisfaction than hearing his laughter. We soon became inseparable friends and I was really amazed at the fact of how we could speak for hours talking about nothing in particular and laughing about everything. I fell so hard for him that everyone around noticed except him, well that was what I wanted to believe.

I had been with Densel way before he became a famous person and he was the one that suggested I become his P.A after he grew into fame. It really hurt being his P.A as I had to watch the many women that flocked around him. Soon, we became friends with benefits and despite the warning people gave that he was just using me because he knew I had a crush on him, I refused to believe it. I was starting to matter to him and I enjoyed that fact. I was so much in love at the time that it broke me into million pieces when I saw that despite the fact we had moved into a sexual relationship, Densel still moved with other women. I knew I was foolish to still have stayed but the smile he always sent my way and the little things he did to make me feel special always kept me.

I guess the only time I had to confess my undying love for Densel was in my bedroom with the picture I took of him when he was unaware. In the picture, he was smiling into space and I was so happy that I was able to capture a happy moment of his. I held on to that picture and I would always talk to it at night before going to bed. If only pictures could talk and express their feelings, maybe, just maybe if the picture had a mind of its own, it could also feel the same love I feel for him.

I was still in my dream world when I was brought back to reality by the screams and shrieks of a woman. I blinked my eyes trying to adjust it to the scene that was unfolding in front of me when I saw a lady kicking and screaming at Densel. She was shouting and saying different things which had started to cause commotion in the crowd.

"You impregnated me and now you don't want to take responsibility for it?You must! And I'm not leaving this place. In Fact I'll make this whole concert comes to an end"

This woman was seriously causing a scene and I had to instruct the bouncers to take her off the stage. The woman had so much strength in her as she was struggling with the bouncers and it had to take like three bouncers to get her off the stage.

Densel just stood there looking lost and shocked as if he had not expected such to happen. With the look on his face, I knew he knew the woman and knew what she's talking about. Fans were sending boos up the stage and I immediately had to get Densel off the stage before crazy fans would do anything stupid. I needed an explanation from him and I needed it fast.

After questioning Densel, it turns out she's another one night stand who unfortunately for me, is now pregnant and wants him to take responsibility for the baby. I decided to quit my work as his P.A as he has brought me nothing but pain since I've met him. Loving him hurts and I had to make sure to walk out of his life despite several pleas he gave me. I decided to quit being a toy he can throw and retrieve whenever he likes.

Sometimes the light shining on the truth is bright, sometimes it’s dull. Facing the truth when you see it isn’t easy, and you’ve got to be strong enough to follow the path that’ll save your soul, heart and dignity. Nice 🤗❤️💕

Indeed you're correct. Thanks so much for the comment!

This piece has an urgency to it, it races along at a perfectly paced speed towards the inevitable conclusion. You structure the scene well- giving us clues that justify the protagonist’s mind set. We “see” her attempting to explain the inequitable situation to herself and we are privy to her epiphany moment. Nicely done.

I was really touched by the sentence in the first paragraph, "I let myself fall for you and even when I knew you were never going to catch me, I fell and had bruises which you were never able to heal, scars that left me with memories I 'd never be able to forget for a lifetime."

And I want to say by quoting the wise words of Rumi, "Don't be sad. Everything that is lost will be replaced with a different form"

Indeed I was also touch by the first paragraph as a writer and I like those words by Rumi which you wrote. Thanks so much for the comment!

you are welcome, friend. ❤

You're welcome. keep writing your work

She should have told the guy what she felt for him. As you can see, she meant nothing for him other than PA.

Truth has a way of manifesting itself.

Exactly! The truth can't be hidden forever

I'm glad you liked it.....thanks so much for the comment!
