Another fun day!
Robert, Sam, Pia, Brian, Isadora, and I went to Boulder’s Beach to swim with penguins today!
It’s always fun when Sam is around.
How I want to be in love and grow old with someone who is always gonna make me laugh. And finds me funny too.
Before we leave South Africa, I want Sam to tell me that he likes me. And that he wants to be with me one day. He is too young right now, and I have a boyfriend right now. But if we can tell each other that we like each other, we can meet again. If we have alone time before we part ways, then…maybe.
Sometimes I wish I had come here single. But then I’m reminded that he is only 26, and he has slept with other people while possibly liking me. He is probably undependable. He gets bored too easily.
So back to this morning. We had a late night last night. Sam got here a bit late. Isadora forgot about the trip. But finally we hit the road.
I sat beside Sam in every Uber ride we did today. But he is less handsy today. I guess because he is sober. And hungover.
I’m glad he decided to come though. He really didn’t seem that thrilled about the penguins when we went the first time. I was surprised that he came to this one. Maybe because of me. Though today he seemed genuinely interested in the penguins.
We arrived at the snorkel gear rental first. After getting fitted, and while waiting for Uber, Sam and Brian got into a fake fight. It was hilarious.
We got to Boulders Beach, fully dressed in wetsuit, and realized that we totally overdressed haha.
We posed Charlie’s Angel style in wetsuit. On the shore, two penguins walked by like they are classy guests dressed up in tuxedos and running late for a dinner party. It was so amazing.
We went into the water. There wasn’t a lot to see in the water, but we found more land, and were able to get really close to them.
While one was grooming, I touched it! Sam was jealous haha. I told him the penguin didn’t like it though, because it didn’t give me permission to touch it. Sam was like, “Oh so you were like Dan. All handsy.” Hahaha
One penguin walked over Robert’s flippers! And two pecked at Brian’s GoPro.
We were so lucky that it was a sunny day, and it wasn’t cold! Weather forecast had said otherwise.
We ran into Ashley, Lindsay, Wilhelm, and Merlijn. They rented a car because they wanted to go to Cape of Good Hope.
Ashely has been looking a bit depressed. I can’t help but wonder if she had a crush on Sam too, and was sad to discover that he’s been a slut.
After we got back to shore, we got our camera and explored the rest of the place without touching the water! We didn’t really need the wetsuits haha.
The scenery was amazing. The rocks were beautiful. We climbed over them and went under them. The penguins were pretty comfortable around us, staying just a little bit away.
Finally Sam let me know that we had to get back. He helped me climb some of the rocks. He didn’t touch me or help me when he didn’t need to, but he was being fairly sweet. He offered to carry my fins at one point, to my surprise. I know he has 5 languages of love on his mind.
We took a bus to a train, then took the train to Muisenburg for lunch. We were starving and the food took forever.
I showed Sam and everyone the videos I took. He was thoroughly entertained. I took lots of him and he loved watching himself.
There was footage from last night. He said he was super drunk. Alcohol does remove some inhibition. That’s probably why he touches me more when he is drunk. Or he is hornier. I guess I’m both.
We were in the car and he started to fall asleep. He asked, “Can you tell me a story?” It makes me feel..at home. I want to be with someone whom we can tell each other stories to.
Come to think of it, I did ask Alex to tell me stories too.
I told him about the King’s Mistresses. I asked if he liked the story, he said not really…but it was interesting.
I fell asleep too. Sam woke me up as we got home. That was it. We didn’t doze off on each other’s shoulders. He didn’t even like not having space in the car…whereas I liked being cramped together so I can be physically close to him.
I want some alone time with him.
