Girl Of My Dreams (1)



On Sunday as the dons stayed away from lecturer halls, I decided to stay even further away from them and sunk into our well-liked joint; F2.

I was hoping to dance away the night as the stakes of Kenya’s stout rugby team kept rising in the final leg of the Vancouver sevens.

Being a regular at the watering hole, I had mastered the art of patience, it was increasingly common to bump into a classmate who would offer you a quarter litre of vodka. How thoughtful of such people to help you save two hundred shillings that you would have used to intoxicate the liver.

I pretended to be too deeply absorbed by phone, unconsciously rocking my head to the cool Caribbean vibes gracing the airwaves that night.

Seeing that no one I knew was forthcoming, I opted to get myself a bottle of whiskey and went back to my table which was largely empty.

I bought whiskey that day not because I had enough money to waste but because I had been told a tale of girls and their love for men who take whiskey; ' I was going to be Lucky and get myself a lady,' I said to myself trying to break the seal.

I gently filled my tumbler half way and remained laid back as if waiting for a fellow comrade. As the night progressed no beautiful lady had stopped at my table let alone having a glance. And just soon I gave up the wait, I had a gentle pat on my right shoulder followed by "kwani wewe huna marafiki? " the voice tried to inquire

If we have met , you know that those are the types of questions that rub my shoulders the wrong way. I mean whats the essence of disturbing my peace of mind with such toddler like questions? But that day was different, infact I smilled before telling her my name and letting her know that I had come alone. She introduced herself as Nikkita and asked if she could sit next to me.

She was lively I must say but broke,my efforts to get her buy her own drink were as futile as selling pork in Iraq forcing me to share my bottle with her. She must have been a first year, the rate at which scotch malt took the better part of her was alarming. In no time she had forced me up for a dance. As i got myself ready , the lady with two left feet was busy knocking her knees in an effort to shake what her mama never gave her.

After minutes of sweating it out at the dancefloor i retired for more whiskey. Nikkita followed, this time she was helpless and couldn't control the rate at which her lips oscillated to make words come out of her mouth.

She was quick to ask me where my girlfriend was -a typical way of Kenyan ladies trying to find out if you have a girlfriend. I wasted no time telling the truth, she was nowhere to be seen and that I thought that Nikkita was the girl of my dreams.

She smiled bringing her deep dimples to life and said that she didn't believe in true love. She opened up amid tears welling up her eyes, "she must be hurt, " I thought to myself. Her man had left her for her bestfriend after a successful experiment in form of a three some and now she had no one to call bestfriend and baby. She had done what a good friend would do, give her sex experience, but she had advertised the correct person to a wrong audience and now it was herself to blame.

After the sobs she asked, "would you mind if I gave love the last try? " Wakubwa, you know that feeling when a beautiful well endowed lady call the shots, I couldn't resist, I gave my now empty bottle of whiskey a part on the neck and asked Nikki if we could go home. It was game done by half time.

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway...

Dont cry when am gone

* Don't cry when am gone * Enough with the tears, Keeping your eyes wet wont help Forgive me for being too insensitive but trust me no man is worth your salty tears No man is allowed to hold your thoughts captive Asking yourself, why you? I am not telling you this because I want you I am not telling you this because I care I am telling you this because at some point I will break your heart I am telling you this because You say all men are dogs and that I am no exception I am telling you this, to sound as a warning Not to cry for me when am gone Do not break down when I break your heart You are too weak to handle two broken pieces I guess that is why you keep falling in love with any man who promises you a happy time. I want to promise you some few things One, Let me guarantee you no guarantees Let me promise no promises That's all I can promise Because Because I hate it when women cry over we men In the spirit of feminism, I hear you lie to yourself that w...

WHAT DO YOU WAKE UP TO?

It is Eight in the morning, the clouds envious of the sun's shine. They cover the sky forcing a false chill on what should be a bright morning. Being the type of people who visit  Twitter before confirming that they can breath, I log into the bird app and a " what do you wake up to" tweet welcomes me. Should I tell them that I wake up to their tweets? In the age of Amerix's Four Bs, it is wrong. So I won't. I look around, searching for inspiration to aid me in the reply. I wake up to nothing new, the air smells like yesterday.  I wake up to almost silent dawns. Cock crows punctuating the rather peaceful early mornings. I wake up to chicken flapping their wings, with a hope that they will fly higher than yesterday. I wake up to new blessings.  I wake up to battery low warnings, and data depletion messages with my phone acting as the blanket, resting on my chest. I wake up to news that I was blocked, just because I drifted to slumber before replying to her messages....
