I was fourteen when I kissed Eunice that night. She came to me one day asking me to be her friend. I felt honoured but I didn’t think far about it because looking at the boy that I was at that time, I thought I didn’t deserve to be with someone like her. She was beyond me. We got closer until one evening, I saw her in town. She asked where I was going and I told her. She said, “I can’t walk home all alone because it’s late. Can you walk me home?”
I obliged.
Along the way, she held my hand. I still didn’t think much of it until she said, “Don’t you see that I like you?” Before I could say a word, she drew closer and said, “I’m not lying. I can kiss you to prove it.”
The kiss lasted for a microsecond but I understood that night that I was in a relationship with her. When we got to her door she told me, “Don’t tell anyone what happened. If my dad gets to know about it. He’ll kill me.”
I walked back home with joy like a river in my heart. It didn’t feel real. “Eunice? Eunice kissed me? No this is a dream.”
I went to bed trying not to sleep because the joy I had when reliving the moment was better than the experience I would have had if I slept. Eventually, I slept but woke up the next morning feeling like a champion.
It became hard to see Eunice. Her father was a tiger so I couldn’t get close. I kept the story of our kiss in my heart for months hoping for another one but it never happened. She used her father as an excuse not to see me.
One day My senior brother returned from school with his friend who also lived in the same neighbourhood. I overheard them talking about Eunice.
I stood aside and listened. I heard the guy saying, “I kissed her last night when we were together.” My heart dropped in my palm. I didn’t believe it until my brother told me, “Eunice had been dating my friend for some time now. I was there last night when Eunice visited him but I had to leave.”
My heart started beating abnormally. I confronted Eunice and she told me, “I was just playing with you oo. That’s why I told you not to tell anyone. How can a small boy like you be my boyfriend?”
She is two years older than me.
She broke me into pieces. I didn’t know what love was but from that day I thought it wasn’t worth it. I went to bed at night and didn’t want to sleep because I was scared I would die in my sleep.
Heerhh Eunice Tinkorang! I don’t know where you are now but I hope you’ve experienced the heartbreak you gave me in the same intensity. If not, may you experience the same before you find your true love. You were very wicked and I don’t mind telling it to your face if I meet you today.
