So lol, I was working at this store, minding my business. They sold like really upmarket bougie things, anyway, this guy walks in and I immediately notice his existence because he was taller than what I am and also more muscular but still bearish at the same time-
-when I tell you I was weak but anyway, proceed to help him out and he’s just browsing or whatever then leaves and greets me goodbye by my name, which was cute and I immediately start gushing over him and ran to my colleague who was like “he likes you”, I’m like “girl please...
...a man like that would never be into this fucken mess”, mind you I wasn’t able to make my weekly barber appt. and my middle-bless was performing her 2nd sold out show for that week. Anyway, she’s like “don’t talk kak, you had to see the way he was checking you out” and...
...I’m like “girl hou jou bek kanala, he’s gone”. Anyway, this guy literally comes back to the store 30 mins later and I’m SHOOK. I’m like okay wow, salaam abhi “welcome back, made up your mind?” and all that you know, but was busy helping these two yt ladies who were...
...so fucken indecisive because they’d chop and change what they wanted to buy and this went on for like 20 mins all while this guy is trying to get my attention for assistance and I’m like “https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏽♂️" title="Man shrugging (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man shrugging (medium skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉🏼" title="Right pointing backhand index (medium light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Right pointing backhand index (medium light skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩🏻🦳" title="Woman, white haired (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman, white haired (light skin tone)"> can’t help you rn but my colleague will assist you”, he’s like okay cool...
...and I’m like “https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">”. Anyway, she’s busy ringing up this item which he chose at random that amounted to like R7k (+- $380) and I’m like “great choice!” while finally finishing up with these ladies. I hang around at the till to assist my colleague and offer him to sign up...
...to our newsletter, you know, all it takes for a gay to become a detective is a first name atleast, lol. He agrees to sign up and I’m like okay wow werk, while he makes small talk with my colleague but only keeps making eye contact with me and I’m like “wtf is this man...
...looking at?” because I’m oblivious to these things and definitely looked kak. Anyway, transaction completed, she hands him the bag and he greets ONLY me goodbye. At that point both my colleagues are like “wtf just happened here https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">” and I’m like “girl he for sure...
...came back here just to unnecessarily spend so much money to interact with me” and I’m ngl, felt so pretty for the remainder of my shift because when I tell you this was a MAN. I legit couldn’t stop thinking about his baby blue collared shirt that was slightly...
...buttoned down showing his chest hair and meaty pecs paired with cream shorts and loafers, reminded me of my days in the states which allowed me to put 2 and 2 (the accent) together. Anyway, so I’m on my, probably 10th tea break for the day (lol), decided to smoke a entjie...
...and get some fresh air. Grindr notifications popping because I’m a bad bitch but don’t pay any bitches no mind because no one is worth my time and most of all the effort that I put into existing, because we all know it’s tough outchea. Anyway, me minding my business...
...WONT THIS FUCKEN MAN BE FIRST ON THE GRID! Chile, when I tell you I was shook. So I don’t necessarily message people first or whatever because I’m insecure and cannot hold proper conversation, I guess it’s a bad bitch flaw, so I sent him a “hi” tap and generally...
...was shaken because you know, when you just have that feeling that your gaydar might be right but you’re so oblivious to everything that you doubt everything that’s happening in front of you, honestly just surprised that my colleagues saw this before me both being straight...
...women. Anyway, I get home to a text from this man saying “damn I didn’t want us to communicate like this but hello”. I’m like “uhm, hello there, you’re the hot guy from earlier?”, he’s like “yep, it me, and you’re really gorgeous I just didn’t know how to let you know irl...
...because your colleagues were always in the way and didn’t want to make you feel awkward while still at work”. Girl, ngl my poes was sop nat because I personally only interact with individuals like him in my dreams. Anyway, he’s like “you’re the most gorgeous individual...
...I came across while on my trip here and as much as I don’t need this thing I just bought and don’t know what to do with it, I just had to come back to buy it to interact with you for one last time if that was rlly going to be the last time seeing you”...
Ngl. I sat in my room like-
Anyway, so he’s like “I’d really like to meet and get to know you, no pressure, but tomorrow’s my last day here and I’d be delighted if I could take you for a drink :)”. Me, conflicted, because I just got invited to an anti-valentines day party by @larrykaparry that I obvi was...
...going to, “I honestly don’t know what to say, lol. I guess yes, I have plans for a party but could meet up with you afterwards maybe?”. He’s like “okay cool amazing! Can’t wait to formally meet you sexy!”. Ngl, my heart melted at being pursued for a change and also paced...
...because I knew I’d be tipsy if I went to Larry’s. Anyway, it’s VDay, I head to work like normal, shifts over, get ready to go to Larry’s, honestly had a ball of a time and I’m like “okay babes I’m gonna head out now, I’ve got an alleged date”, alleged only because I wasn’t...
...sure if this guy was gonna pull up. Texting him and he’s RESPONDING! Mind you it’s already 00h20 because I had a fun time at Larry’s and didn’t wanna leave early. I tell him to get me at Café Manhattan because the girls and I started to infiltrate the establishment to bring...
...queer POC energies to the place. He texts me that they’re closed and I’m like “oh shit”. He tells me to get him at Piano Bar and I’m like cool! (First ran to PnP Xpress because I smelt of entjie and wine). Anyway, I meet him there and he has this HUGE smile on his face...
and was like “YOU CAME!”, me being a messy flirt, “not yet, lol, but...YES!”. He gets up to give me a hug and we sit down and have conversation. He orders drinks and me being indecisive says “I’ll get what you’re getting” (mistake because he only drinks whisky clean OTR https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Skull" aria-label="Emoji: Skull">)
anyway, conversations flowing very well, he tells me that he’s here on vacation with his best friend and didn’t know how to evade her to come into the store to get my number that’s why he bought the unnecessary, expensive thing hoping I’d write my number down on the till slip...
