MY FIRST LOVE

This weeks featured content from the stables of #hivelearners

For some people, the first time they fell in love was when they were no more than basically kids or at most teenagers and they did not know much about how love worked at the time. So, tell us about all your first love and how it went. Did it last? Did it progress into a relationship? Tell us, we would love to know!

Let me put out a disclaimer as I write this; please you guys shouldn’t allow my husband man to see this post. (Lol)
Just kidding

It was a fine and beautiful afternoon , I was sitted at the front of my mums shop, I was a young slim beautiful girl, not one that any man or guy would lust after as I did not have such big assets, I wasn’t heavily endowed yet for my age, but I was a beauty.

My mum used to own a shop then, when I was on holiday or the weekend I would go there first thing in the morning to open and set up for the day before she would come at noon. On the line where my mum’s shop was located, there were many other shops, we all sold the same things, children clothing items and accessories. It was a really big shopping lane.

Down the shopping lane was a shop belonging to a woman who had daughters too, they were a little older than I was, they would come and help their Mum too at the shop on some days. One day as I passed by the shop my eyes met with that of this young handsome tall dark skinned boy. He looked like someone who would be in the same age range as myself.

I was mesmerized, I am usually not freaked by guys and their looks but this one glance at this boy and I almost Forget that I was on an errand. Well our eyes met and I walked passed. On getting to my mums shop I told my elder sister I saw one fine boy in Mrs A shops, could he be her son? Or just a customer? Well my sister wasn’t interested in small kids talk or crush so I kept wondering to myself if he was a son or just a customer. Deep down in hoped he was her son because that means I would see him other times.

Well after that day I did not see him for a while and I too got over my admiration.

Back to that fine beauty afternoon as I sat outside my mums shop, this tall boy walked up to me and asked me for a phone charger. I was using an android phone then so I told him I had an android charger, and he said he would take it. He gave me a stylish smile and walked backed to his mum shop.

it was not until when we became close he told me he actually did not need the charger for anything he just wanted to talk to me. Lol

Well what do you think?
That was the beginning Of something.
He came back later to return the charger, thanked me, we exchanged names and he asked for my number.

We started talking via the 2go app, and on some days long night calls that I would hide and talk faintly so nobody in the house would hear me. We became good friends, bestfriends. We talked about everything. He would even come to visit me in school during closing hours and recess hours before extra lessons started.

He eventually asked me to date him, but then I wasn’t ready to date while in secondary school so I put him on hold for a year. He didn’t mind, he promised to wait till I was ready. We worked on our friendship, we gradually were falling inlove with each other.

The day I got my admission into the university, I agreed to date him, as I was breaking the good news to him, I was also letting him know that I would love and was ready to date him. He was so excited that day.

Our relationship was innocent, one built on friendship. We liked each other as well as loved each other. Well we dated for three years and then life happened and we thought it best to go our separate ways and give each other time. He was so sure that if we were meant to be we would find our way back to each other but that never happened.

As much as I thought I loved him back then, it’s surreal and suprising how the heart can fall out of love completely. The way my love is set up for my husband right now I can’t even believe I once loved someone else other than him.

At the end of the day I am grateful to have experience genuine innocent love When I did, it is all part of the experience that makes up who I am today.

Did you have a first love ?
Are you guys still together?
