YOU MAKE ME INSECURE

I never had the chance to know my father. My mother always told me that he left us when I was just two weeks old. It's frustrating to think about it. My mother had a difficult upbringing herself, leaving home at the tender age of 12. I feel lost, not knowing where my extended family might be. I tried broaching the topic with my mother before she passed away, but it didn't go well. I decided to let it rest, as I knew it would hurt her to revisit those memories. Now that she's gone, I can't help but feel deceived by her actions. She's no longer here to provide me with the answers I seek. I'm left alone with my estranged stepfather, who wants nothing to do with me. Even if she had disclosed the whereabouts of my family, it wouldn't have been easy, but at least I would have had someone to lean on during difficult times. I don't blame her, though. She had her own burdens to bear. She couldn't even find solace with her own family, who were abusive. Nevertheless, I still love her as my mothe

A few months later, I found myself immersed in an unexpected journey. Mr. Ronald Bowie, the owner of the business, took it upon himself to be my mentor, dedicating an entire six months to imparting his wisdom on the intricacies of running a successful business. Recognizing my exceptional aptitude for absorbing knowledge and my unwavering determination to excel, Ronald saw great potential in me. His satisfaction in guiding me through the business world was evident, as I eagerly followed his directives without hesitation or inquiry. As time went on, Ronald noticed my ability to thrive independently and an extraordinary idea began to take shape in his mind. He decided to entrust me with the sole operation of the business for a few months, with the promise that if I impressed him with my achievements, he would transfer the ownership of the company to me. It was a defining moment that would mark my transition to complete independence. Ronald had initially expected it to take the full six m

As Divine and Ronald were having fun while drinking their coffee, talking about all kinds of things that happened in their lives and getting to know each other a little bit more, Ronald moved from his opposite couch and went to sit next to Divine. It happened so fast that Divine didn't even have the time to act on it. Divine's body language changed. She was shaking. She could feel a certain tension between her and Ronald. She wanted him so bad. She wanted him to hold her, feel him inside her. She tried to touch him and connect with him, but she was afraid to make a move. All she wants is for Ronaldo to make a move, but she doesn't know how to voice that out. She does not wish to send the wrong impression to Ronald. If he makes the first love, then she can act on it. "If we are going to be a thing, you need to be free when you are around me and stop being frightened. I won't break your heart, and I love you." He confides her, and she looks down. She doesn't trust him yet. She has

It's been five months that Divine and Ronald have been smoothing things together. Ronald even introduced Divine to his friends. Their relationship is going competently well. Nothing can stop them from achieving their goals together as a couple. It has been a while since Ronald gave me the company. Ever since I started working by myself, things have been going well for me. I even got many clients than I had before. Even people from other countries come to South Africa just to get a house designed by me. To be honest, I am good at doing my job. You can tell by the way I becomes happy when I am talking about work. My face lightens up with joy. Ron did the right thing by giving me the company. I have been proving myself to Ronald to make him see that I am capable of doing the most and I won't lie, he has been supportive of me. He has been there for me when I need them the most and most importantly, he loves me more than anything. That one I'm sure of. Things have been soft between us, w

For most people, the beginning of a new relationship is kind of magical. Maybe there is a rom-com worthy meet-cute, or maybe it is just a more modern drunk-Tinder-swipe gone very right. Either way, getting to know someone you're attracted to and seeing a future with is a beautiful thing. But because there are so many "feel good" vibes present and you're possibly still in the honeymoon phase, the important convention can be overlooked. With Divine and Ronald, it was I love babe, let's jump straight to bed. They did not talk about what's good for them and what they want, of which it's now giving them problems. …….. I went home to change for my lunch with my long time friend Tola, I found my so-called boyfriend at home. He was supposed to be at work like he normally is. He doesn't spend time at home. surprised to find him at home. I won't lie, I am surprised. But anyways I don't care if his home because I already have plans that have nothing to do with him. "Oh babe you home, how a
