Chapter 16: The one with the hair

The next few days were incredible. We had a lot of adventures and did many safaris. Our love was increasing slowly but heavily, it was beautiful. Kenya was amazing and we were really having a great time, until one night we decided to go to the terrace of our tent and slept there. It seemed spectacular, because we cuddled and did a lot of things with which we had a lot of fun. You know what I mean. 

"Good night honey!" Said Joey with a really soft voice and kissed me. "Good night sweetie!" I answered him. We slept cuddled with each other. It was a perfect night. The wind blew softly in our face, but it wasn't cold. It was just perfect. The next day he woke up earlier than me and watched the animals grazing in the grass. There were giraffes nearby and even a hippo drinking in the lake, which was at the end of the camp. He caressed my head and fell asleep again. An hour later he felt something pulling my hair. He started to feel uncomfortable, so he opened his eyes and saw a giraffe eating my hair. He did a scared look and ran to the inside of our tent. I slapped my hair against the hammock we were laid on. "Ow!" I said. "Joey!" I tried to hit him with my hand, but he wasn't there. 

I stood up and felt a little dizzy. I put my hand on my head and went to our bedroom. "What are you doing here?" I asked to him. "Nothing...", he answered, "It was just feeling cold!" "Ok!" I mumbled and lay myself in the bed with him. He put his head in mine and I hugged him. After a while I got tired and wanted to
go to make myself up. "Joey! Let me go for a sec'... I need to make myself up!" I said. "No! Wait here!" He begged me and so I did.

Suddenly our guide called us from the outside and said: "In an hour we are going to go to a safari!" "Ok!" I said and stood up. Joey ran to the bathroom and covered the mirror with a towel. "Joey... What's going on?" I asked. He looked at me with a scared look and said: "Nothing!" "I don't believe you Joey!" I said. I was getting angry at him, because he was hiding something from me and I didn't like that. I tried to take the towel, but he put it back where it was. "What are you hiding from me?" I asked. He looked to the floor and then took me to the outside. "Stay here!" He said. "Joey, you're acting so strange.... are you ok?" I asked, trying to understand why he was acting like this.  "Yes, I am, but... you aren't....." He told me. "What?!" I hardly said. I was so startled by what was happening right now. 

-"Look Pheebs, if I let you look yourself in the mirror you will hate me!"

-" What? Why?...You're not ok! I don't know what is happening to you, but you're not ok..."

-"Pheebs..."

I went to the inside and locked the entrance. 

- "Phoebe.."

-" Shut up Joey!...Look, I'm going to look myself in the mirror and If everything is normal I won't trust you anymore!" I was really sad and angry

- "Don't look Pheebs!" He said desperately

-"Why!?" 

- "Because I love you and I want the best for you! Trust me please, it's not a good idea!" 

I remained at the entrance for a few seconds, but then I decided to go and look myself in the mirror. I shouted as high-pitched and loud as you only can imagine, when I saw what happened to my hair. I went to the entrance and opened the door. Joey looked at me with a sad look and I hugged him. "Don't you hate me?" He asked. "No!" I said, chuckling and  gave him a kiss on his cheek. "I'm sorry for not having trusted you!" I told him. "And I'm sorry for letting this happen to your hair!" He softly said.

 We kissed and then I asked: "How did it happen?" Joey told me the incidence with the giraffe and I laughed. We remained in the bed for a long ten minutes and then I had an amazing idea. I went to the bathroom, took my scissors and cut my hair in a beautiful bob cut. As I went out I laid myself with Joey again an waited until his reaction. After a while he made an astonished look. "Phoebe!" He said in a high-pitched tone of voice. "Do you like it?" I asked him. He could barely believe what I had done. "Your hair!" He screamed. "Yes, do you like it?" I said, laughing. He looked at me and said: "I love it!" We kissed and had sex. Suddenly our guide called us and said: "The car is waiting!" We laughed and I tried to escape from Joey's arms, but as he was hugging me so hard, we ended up on the floor. Our guide called us again and we put our clothes on. We went out of our tent and went to the safari car. 

The rest of the day was really cool. We did two safaris in the daylight and one in the evening. After the evening safari we went to our dining hall and had delicious samosas for dinner.
