IS IT A FAULT OF MINE THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER?

IS IT A FAULT OF MINE THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER?
The month of Christmas is here again. We'll all preparing to reconcile with our Maker. This month of course is my most favorite month 'cause I get to spend the season in our family house. This time my Uncle Kujo will be spending this yuletide with us. He just arrived from abroad. I get to spend this festive occasion with my cousins and other blood-related members of mine.

When I was packing my clothes something popped up from my mind, "danny you are now 18 years..guess what it's time to date". The thought immediately vanished. I continued packing and it suddenly came again, "try it you just give it a try". I ignored it, but wait, my friend Araba told me how sweet it was to have a partner. Pastor preached last week and the sermon was "THE ADOLESCENT AND SEX- THE HIGHWAY TO FORNICATION". I remember that Sunday I promised myself not go out with any girl until I'm ready for marriage. Arrrgh! Why at all are these thoughts coming from? My mum knocked on my door and informed me I should hurry. I packed all the stuffs I would need and we went.

How happy I was to meet my cousins. That night we didn't sleep. We ate and drank and chatted till the c**k crowed. Yaw, he was my most favorite of all my cousins. He was accommodating. I told him what have been crisscrossing on my mind lately. Eei it's already 4 o'clock in the morning. We went to bed. Three hours later my aunt came and woke us up that is was time for breakfast. After breaking the fast we went out to play football leaving the girls to the mercy of our nagging granny.
Aunt Sarah's son, Jim, was my least favorite of all my cousins. I hate the way he would want to lure every girl he finds attractive to bed. No wonder three months ago a lady from nowhere popped up saying she was carrying Jim's baby.

Well, after the soccer, Yaw deliberately made us delay. The rest went home. He sat me down and lectured me. Yaw told me that it would be better off I don't venture now but wait till I get to college. His motive was simple. i will get better and matured ladies to choose from. I nodded and showed my appreciation for his advice (running through my head- of course it doesn't sound like a bad idea)

En route to our house my eyes met this little fair-skinned girl, very beautiful and ravishing, my pupils dilated and my heart was pumping blood like Usain Bolt running a 100-metre race. I couldn't take off my eyes from her. This girl was gorgeously dressed. She defines beauty. I smiled to myself and thought, "hahaha Cousin Yaw's advice is already in the gutters". As if she knew what was going through my cerebrum. She turned, and lo, a benign smile from her. You call it love at first sight. Awww Araba was damn right, I thought. Yaw dragged me. Yaw knew her. He told me she was very shy and wouldn't give a chance to converse with a guy with that interest. When we got home I went straight to bed. All I did was to envisage her adorable face, her being naked standing right in front of me.( don't call me naughty please!). My thoughts were on her for the rest of the day. How would a shy guy like me tell her my feelings? Mama came to my room and said there is an urgency and that we'll be leaving the early morning of the next two days ahead. Now I have got a day to make it work.

The following day I dressed up and went straight to where we met, hoping she turns out. She did. When I saw her coming I behaved like a will-do-anything-for-you guy in the telenovelas who wants to yearn the heart of his crush. It worked! I confessed my love to her. Lovelace was her name. Something was amiss. She would give me her feedback in a week's time and only in a week's time. Uurh...I felt like an arrow was piercing through my heart. I was hopeless.

The following day we went back to our house. No feedback. I felt dejected. IS IT A FAULT OF MINE THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER?
