Song dedication : Baby can I hold you tonight - boy zone
Urgently need to get home . Wanji will bring you back home .... I'll explain later . Will make it up to you xx .
The text I get from Chonde reads . Amidst all the realizations about his ex , my heart manages to find more room for heart break .
" You know your night doesn't have to end like this..." , Wanji says with a smile kissing my forehead .
" what do you mean? " , I say .
" I could be the prince that slays your dragon ...just for today ...." , he says pulling me up to dance with him . He gently slids his hands on my hips and begins to sway me to the song , baby can I hold you tonight by boyzone .
" Dragon ? ..... we don't have those here ... maybe you could slay my Ng'ona...."
" that's brilliant!" , he says with a chuckle, " I am your Crocodile slayer in shining armour.."
I laugh , he laughs too.
" I always did like how you smiled..." , he says .
" how do I smile.. ? " , I ask .
" like a sweet nana banana " , he says .
" I can't believe were in our thirties and you still call me that.... " , I tell him.
" you're my teenage dream..." , he says with a grin .
" Wanji ...."
" and yes I know , you're in love with that douchè bag of a guy I call my bestfriend...."
" Is it that obvious???...." , I smile at him .
" I see how you look at him..Ntochi... part of me wishes you looked at me like that and part of me will kill him if he breaks your heart.."
I swallow hard , like there's an invisible lump of coal on my throat.
" Wanji ...what about Sakhwima-"
" I love Sakhwima and I want to marry her..but life has taught me that just because you fall in love with someone else ... doesn't mean you stop loving the person you once dated .... I still love you alot Ntochi, and I understand were never getting back together... but the love is just there ..."
He holds me real close and squeezes my waist.
" you know what would make me happy ? " , he says .
" ayi sindikudziwa" , I tell him brusquely. I genuinely don't know at this point . He's unpredictable.
" Give me one last kiss ..." , he says .
My heart drops into my stomach as he grabs me to his lips . Putting his lips on mine. I don't want this . But my body does. Does that make me a bad person?
