Stolen Moments

The morning came. Only silence was left. Through the window and curtains, I felt the sunshine on my face as I opened my eyes; there he was, lying next to me. This tall, dark handsome man, still sleeping he looked so peaceful; instantly I smiled. My heart was filled with so much joy and warmth I could burst. It’s been a long time someone made me feel like that but at the same time I was overwhelmed and confused. Questions rushed through my mind. How can something that feels so good be so wrong? He woke up, and with a smile on his face "Good morning babe", he said............

I have known John for a few months now; we met at a book shop. I was busy going through the books, trying to find an interesting book to buy. Then this man walked into the book shop, he was wearing blue denim jeans with a white shirt that he folded up his sleeves. He had a sleeve tattoo. His Brown belt was matching with his brown shoes, God he looked so good. I immediately took notice. "Some women are lucky" I remember thinking. I went on with my business, going through the books. Few minutes in, a voice in front of me said "Blood on the table, that's a good read you have on your hands, you should take it" It was him. Oh my, I swallowed spit; I was trying to catch my breath. "Hi there" I said with a smile. You sound so passionate about it; maybe I should give a try. Thanks" We talked for minutes over books and it showed how passionate we both were about reading. We exchanged numbers in a sense of us in future exchanging books or recommending books to each other. Little did I know…..lol!

Since that day at the book shop we have called each other every day and talked for hours. Conversations were flowing and he made me laugh. We went out on lunch dates as friends and everyday talking to him, I realised I liked him and I wanted to spend time with him more. He was intelligent, matured, dressed well, career driven and knew how to make me laugh but I couldn’t say anything to him because I was already in a relationship with another man and it didn’t feel right so I kept quiet. One day he invited me over to his place for dinner, I arrived at his place and I was welcomed with a warm hug but this hug was different from the way he used to hug me, this was more tighter and with deep feelings. I felt good, it felt safe. We had dinner, and we talked for hours. He finally opened up about his feelings for me. He was in love with me and wanted me to be his woman but doesn’t want to share me with anyone because I told him in one of our conversations that I have a man and we going through complications. He said he knew I had feelings for him but wanted me to tell him how I felt about him and if I was willing to take a chance with him. In a short space of time, this man figured me out so much that I just wanted to run away from him. The truth is I was falling for him and I felt alive and happy when I am with him. I told him how I felt and I saw a smile from his face like he just won something. He was excited and happy but now he wanted me to choose between him and my boyfriend….. He gently kissed me, passionately like he was has been waiting for this for a long time, it was our first kiss. Oh my, what a kiss.......

We both wanted each other so much that the chemistry took over and we made love. I woke up next to this beautiful soul and after a long time, it was a good morning, a beautiful morning. I went home feeling so good but the quilt of what I have done was overwhelming. We had stolen moments that I don’t regret at all but now I was left to make a decision between these two men.......
