Walking in the streets of Nairobi,my eyes meets a familiar face which leaves me shocked and uneasy. Borrowing strength and courage from unknown source,I move my already heavy legs as I stretch my hands to tap that long shoulder. She responds with a furious face thinking one is about to rob her in the broad daylight with a 'huge' fist ready to attack the 'thief'. Before her mouth opens to throw dirty words and hit the shit out of the 'attacker',she drops her hands as she is left with a big awe in her face,her eyes gazing all over my body.
I'm left standing doing nothing but just watching because silence had already taken over. I can't believe its her whole figure in my presence,her lip macule,her dark sweet lips,her shiny eyes and petit slender body makes me a little uneasy. Lost in my own world of thoughts, all feels like yesterday and I can't just take my eyes off her. She hasn't changed any bit,my pretty sweet fine wine(both red and white😍😍) I can't feel my legs,maybe unknown cold froze them.
'My stud!' She breaks the silence as she broadens her smile looking into my eyes while kissing her lips. I can't help but smile back like some mad person or rather hysterical 'somebody'. It's been years and she still haven't forgotten the pet name she gave me,this lady must be something,an addictive drug or maybe I had a big portion of her heart,of course I did. Feeling restless and happy all at once,my arms opens wide ready to receive her and not to let her go,this is going to be the tightest and longest hug ever I swear.
'I missed you so much,you just went and never thought of coming back to check on me after you were done with your high school,'she cries.
Guilt fills my body, I hate making her feel unwanted since she's all I've ever wanted in my life. I pinch my inner thigh using my brain for her not to see my weakness that she was used to. I'm not letting anyone make me hate myself,not now not ever I know I hurt her so much but I got no valid excuse to give. She just don't know how much I missed her.
'I'm sorry,'I say as we hug tighter. I feel some warm cold or is it lukewarm water like substance on my shirt which I respond by checking if by any chance a street urchin threw us some rotten oranges. Shock on me,her face was all soaked with tears which she was trying to hide but they were unavoidable.
