FROZEN SHADOW

I was beyond surprise when a posh shiny black salon car stopped right where I stood. As the glasses rolled down, I came to appreciate the breath- taking view of an incredibly handsome man. His hair was well combed like cement meticulously plastered on to a wall. His skin glowed like the sunrise and his teeth as white as snow. His combo showed how much a fashionista he was. He wore a black polo shirt with white strips and perfectly fitting blue jeans.
‘’what’s your name?’’
‘’Rose’’
‘’ Rose, would you want to go out? Take a ride with me?’’, he said in a playful yet guyish tone which kind of pissed me out.
‘’no, I don’t go out with strangers’’ but  deep down, I wanted to jump into the car, rest my head on his masculine shoulders and interlock my fingers in his as we listen to john legends’ song; all of me.
I did not want to conclude that it was love at first sight, but it was one hell of forceful magnetic attraction.
‘’can I at least take a walk with you?’’ I did not object. As we strode along the street, I breathed him in as if he was the breath of life. When I reached my destination, I thanked him, then we exchanged contact details.
And that’s where our love story begun.

Like Juliet, I started sneaking around to meet my Romeo. Such a perfect gentleman he was, never did he even try to touch me.
Everything happened so quickly. I could hardly believe the fact that we were getting married. I know this might sound ridiculous, but I think the only reason why my parents accepted him so quickly was because he was cloaked in wealth. Yes, my fiancé gave millions of dollars to my parents as a gift after our engagement.

Wedding day
I could literally hear my heart pounding in my chest as I walked towards the altar. In a few minutes, I was going to be Mrs. I was living in dream land!
 Everyone was suddenly taken aback when the w7edding premises was raided by the police. My sweetheart,  my husband- to- be was being arrested for drug trafficking. Like Rihanna sung in her song stay. All I could wish for was for him to stay. ’’ Stay!’’, I shouted. ‘’Stay!’’. And there I was like a frozen shadow.

 What a beautiful painful nightmare!
