AN ADVENTURE TO AFRICA

A TRIP

"No, of course not! Wait Don? What do you take me for? A dog, a stupid player? I'll never do that to Tisha, never!"

"Calm down Ty, so what was she there for." Mark pleaded with a smile.

"Tisha was there with a friend. A girl-friend for that matter... but her attention was with me.You know how Tisha is right? She was strealing glances and making faces. Converting my attention from Rosy to her's. And I was like, who care? She concluded the meeting and greeted Rosy. Tisha spoilt the date, claming she was sick and I should take her home."

"Wa..ait... Was that jealousy?" Mark intruded.

"You can call it jealousy man, you know how ladies are... I just left with Rosy, and we spent the night in an hotel."

"Really? Hahahaaaa! You can't be serious!!" Don blared.

"Of course, I am. What would I do? Leave with some girl I didn't come with or leave with someone I didn't come for?"

"But ... She's like a sister, right?"

"I didn't say otherwise, did I? What would Rosy feel when I leave with Tisha because she's my sister. Excuse me man, I can't..."

"Wait, do you love Rosy that much? She doesn't even deserve it! Holy Cow!!"

"I help a lady that almost slipped in a resturant one day and Rosy broke up with me for that. It was more than public disgrace that day and she slapped the lady. That date was a get together, I wouldn't ruin it gor anything. I would deny my parents in front of her and  even you guys..."

"Oh really? So why are you tripping over this girl that has 0% feelings for you? You're about to fall into a big hole Ty, and no one would help you." Donald stressed out.

He was serious about it because his cousin once dated her and planning for marriage. He caught Rosy on his bed with a boy half his age, the marriage was cancelled anyway. So was that relationship, broken.

"You remember what she did to Xavier right? I hope that wouldn't happen to you." He warned.

"I feel right whenever I'm with Rosy, even though I know she's not right for me... I mean, she's just so transparent." I suddenly scratched my head confusely and let out a deep breath. "Of late, I get this awkward feeling and I see a strange girl in my dream."

"Who? Rosy?!" Donald cuts in.

"Tisha!" Mark bursted.

"I don't know, her face isn't clear yet but she saves me. Now that you talk of me, falling into a deep hole, I can't help but to remember her. "

"What exactly is happening to you, Ty? Are you alright?"

"I feel I am, yet, I'm not... There is a strange breeze blowing through my head and suddenly, It seems I'm possessed by a strange spirit and its driving me crazy. I'm angry at who I shouldn't, I just called you guys to clear my head."

"Is it because of grandpa Davis? Perhaps, it's the lost bearing heavily on your mind... causing you to see things that are not real?" Mark said, placing his hand on my shoulder as if I was his son.

"No, I don't think so... I'm not sure. I don't get myself these days. I visited the hospital and my doctor said all I need is rest." I robbed my forehead confusely. "I hardly sleep and I lose appetite with food. I just have a lot of things on my mind. I feel so miserable and depressed."

Mark paused for a while and smiled at himself. An idea struck him so he decided to bring it up.

"What about a trip to somewhere? I mean the three of us as we use to during vacations and summer holidays?"

"Yes! It's been a while since we spent time together. I mean away frim all our worries. Let's go to Paris, Ty." Donald yipped.

"Ughh!!! Why Paris? Of all places!!"Mark cried.

"It's a good idea but I don't think it would help me. Things are complicated, and I'm not going to Paris."

"I thought we actually loved Paris!" Donald smiled, searching our eyes for answers. "Has anything changed about us?!!"

"Yes we did a lot. An for your information Mr. Man, that was then and now is now, okay? Things have changed so have people." I replied him, opening another bottle of chilled vodka.

"Exactly, tell him, Ty..." "It's as if Don here never changed. He's still wearing the same William Smith's haircut for the past five years, remember?"

"Hahahahaaa! As if he would ever be recorgnized as Donald Smith!!" Mark choked saying these.

"What's so funny idiots? What if I decide to keep this haircut for the next ten years. I just love everything about William Smith, At least watching his movies is better than listening to you guys... Perhaps, this style suits me well."

"Yes, I admit. You're your real self when you do what you love the most. About the Trip, Let's go to Ethiopia. Who's in?" I concluded, sipping the last drop of vodka from the bottle.

"Me!" Mark jerked, raising up his empty beer bottle in total excitment.

"Okay, you win! I'm in..." Donald smiled at the idea.

"Deal?" I proposed opening my palms to them.

"Deallll!!!!"

We shake my hands by placing our palms on it in agrrment. We all agreed and shoke hands. It's been long we went for a vacation trip together. Since College days.

"It's gonna be a 2 weeks trip to Eygpt. Hope we have all the fun in the world!" I smiled.
