EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED

Chapter Two

Andre hadn't called yet, I mean he's meant to be the first person to wish me a Happy Birthday. I and Andre had been together for a year now, and our relationship had been the best thing that had ever happened to me. 

 * * *

 It all started in my second year in senior high. During the schools annual prom night. I and my best friend, Tracy, had gone for the party together, we were having so much fun. I, in my short fitted dress which exposed my hourglass shape, with short heeled sandals and light make up. I had a dangling earring on, with matching necklace and bracelet. I had my hair in a ponytail with little strands of it falling to my face. Courtesy of Tracy my coustumier. She was looking beautiful as well and high spirited as usual. You would hardly see her moody or without gists. 

Shortly after we had danced for a while, she stepped out to get a drink and see some friends. I busied myself with my phone. 

Not quite long after she had left, I heard slow footsteps towards me and I looked to see who it was only to behold a handsome face belonging to a well built up body. His eyebrows neatly carved, a pointed nose upon a light red lips. He had thick black eyes and well shaped jaws. His skin looked well moisturized and fair in complexion. I couldn't help but get dumbfounded at this wonderful sight. He was an epitome of manliness. I was lost in my thoughts and imaginations until his voice awakened me.

"Hi", he said.

"Hiii", I replied stammering. "How can I help you", I continued trying to pull myself together.

"Well I've been watching you for sometime and I noticed you didn't have company so I decided to come keep u company. But that's if you're okay with that".

"Yeah, sure you can but, I came with someone though ".

"Your boyfriend? "

"My best friend, she just stepped out to grab a drink".

"Okay then. I'm Andre Peterson, in 12th grade", he introduced.

"I'm Yvonne Richmond in 11th grade, nice to meet you ".

"Nice meeting you to, so how's the party going for you ".

"Not bad at all, especially with Tracy around things are bound to be fun all the way", I replied.

"Nice ".

"What about you, did you come with someone, a friend maybe ", I asked.

"Yeah I did, I came with my friends but most of them are out there having fun with their girlfriends ", he said.

"So where is yours. Didn't she show up?"

"I don't have a girlfriend silly ", he said laughing. I could see he had a simple, it was so beautiful on that already perfect face.

"Why not? If u don't mind me asking". I felt like I was actually being to inquisitive though.

"I don't know, maybe cause I haven't found 'the one' ".

"Really ".

"Yeah, what about you. Are you single or do you have a boyfriend".

"No, not at all".

"Why, if I may ask" he said smiling.
