LUST IN LANGATA (PART 2) GUEST POST BY CAROLINE TONUI

I covered the distance between where i was seated and where he was in two quick strides...i gues hellokitty was channelling my inner Kalenjin spinter.I sat across Kip's lap..facing him,pushed my hair out of the way and kissed him and this insane fire threw my senses out the door.I stood up,placed my hand behind his neck and pulled him to the wall behind me .I could sense the urgency in him..because he hit me a bit hard against the wall.I felt his heart racing on my skin...and his intense breathing as he  devoured my neck.He lifted me up all too easily..one hand wrapped around my waist and the other just under my knee.I dont know how he got us back on the bed...i was not thinking right..your girl Caro was on beast mode.He was on top of me..my hands getting to the point quickly..pulling his clothes off and mine.I probably need my female settings re-checked,because this is the only time that i  am perfect at  multitasking.

I woke up next morning..facing the wall away from him.He had his hand resting lazily over my naked thigh..i froze for a moment.My body was sore...the good kind though.A victory smile lit across my face and as i replayed the sexy scenes of the previous night in my head,i bit my lip..both ashamed and proud.I was a bit scared to turn over and face him,this is usually where i find my clothes and dignity under the bed and look for an exit strategy...but am all the way in Athi River with no sense of direction.I have never been here before and am starving,i should have said i wanted actual food.

He woke up..'Morning Caro'..he said slowly.Goddamn...there goes the superbass that started all this.He slid his hand up my thigh to my waist and gently rolled me over to face him.I wanted to fight     It and get up but i had not unfrozen from my sense of panic.He was smiling down at me.We pillowtalked there for a while as i silently wished i a cigarette to calm me down.I shyed away from saying that i was hungry and i was glad when he brought it up.We finally got out of bed,i did not like how i had started getting comfortable in his arms.That is  how tu-emotions begin to screw a girl over.I showered,got dressed and we went out for food.It was waay past afternoon and the lunch turned into a walk...we were very playful....running around laughing and stopping too many times on the way to talk selfies on his phone.Athi River's beautiful clear blue sky and piercing sunshine was trying to set some cheesy romantic backdrop and i found myself liking his laugh.'Focus Caro,FOCUS..this is not a Mills & Boon novel' i inwardly said to myself as i smiled for what i hopped was the last selfie.I did not let myself get lost in the moment...tempting as it was..because in my exprience,i tend to crush so hard on the demons.Something always bursts my bubble and at that point i was just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Later that evening...i asked him if i could send the days' photos to myself.He must have thought i asked him to do it himself because when i went straight to his gallery..the life literally drained away from his face.I was swipping through our photos and laughing at the ugly ones until a strange one      Popped up...of this light skinned-girl in a black bra,red lipstick and jungle green cargo pants.She had one hand in the trouser's pockect...pulling it down her waist just enough to epose her pink panties while her other hand drapped a shirt over her shoulder.A tatoo vertically outlined her flat exposed tummy and disapeared under the waistband of her trouser.I wanted to say she was sexy..until i noticed the exact shirt over her shoulder in the picture in the corner where Kip stashed his dirty laundry.The background of the picture was this exact room.I handed the phone back to him and kept talking like i hadn't seen shit.None of my business anyway....

Kip went out with his friends to watch some football match at a local pub..and he came back lost in his phone...texting away.Nigga was texting in the toilet too.I scrolled through my Instagram page a bit..a post by ' TeshBaibe ' caught my attention.'Jesus did not die on the cross for you to be a side-chick '.I laughed..doubletapped  it,took a screenshot,agreed with Jesus and thanked Him for speaking directly to my situation through one of His mysterious ways.I fell asleep and left Kip to his texting.Childish ass.

As i was getting ready to leave next morning,the conversation slowly shifted to that awkward 'what are we' type of shit.He started by saying, ' You're beautiful  even without make up'.I inwardly cursed him.Fuck you Kip ....maybe i need pink panties,red lipstick and another Chinese tatoo on my tummy..' I cant lie and say that i dont want you...i want you but the fear of disapointing you outweighs everything...but i hope we can still have fun'..This right here is the very farmiliar side-bitch coronation.The fake ass...lame ass  cowardice of committment but eager willingness for 'fun'.Kip is beyond excellent and delicous in bed but i refuse to be dickmatized into this title...Lord not again.

I struggled to find an unreadable poker face for the whole way back,he dropped me off where Diana was waiting for me.Dee and i bitched about him when he left ofcourse after i told her what happend...we shredded his balls to my hearts content but it all ended in an 'I told you so' from the ever-wise Dee.Knowing him better than i do...she had warned me about him but stubborn as i am,i wanted to find out for myself.I gues the way he was calling me baby,those sexy kissing selfies and the over-a-year communication had thrown me off my game and had me feeling some girlfriend type of way.Kip..his gorgeous eyes,confusing dimple and superbass was just the Athi River mistake that hellokitty and i wanted to make.The earthshattering orgasms were refreshing as fuck though!!!!!

LUST IN LANG'ATA (GUEST POST BY CAROLINE TONUI)

So i had taken my ass out of boring Eldoret to look for a little fun with my girlfriend Diana and her friend Faith who had a bash coming up.We were all bitching about boys in a bedroom somewhere in Langata .We were waiting for the guys to come back...as far as i knew..they had gone to pick up another friend.Faith was telling us the lovestory of how she met her boyfriend ,Tony, and like the girls we are..we were all awwing at the fairytale...until the boys arrived.All i heard was this rich new superbass echoing in the corridor between the living room and the bedroom we were in.My heart literally stopped working for a minute...then started racing too fast.All my attention shifted to that voice..it was getting closer and deeper.I was just waiting to see who the fuck this boy is...and hoping Diana will not forget to introduce me..because she was up and running towards the door...excited to see that superbass boy.
The bedroom door opened..and this sexy thing walked in.The lust of a thousand thirsty women hit my hellokitty all at once...i could almost hear her shouting for some.This guy is darkskinned...average height,and weight...a bit of an afro but its the eyes...the eyes were killing my self control.He has big eyes ..reddish at the corners and a lazy intense gaze that is very verry verrryy sensual.He came over and sat next to me.At this point i was fighting to control my breathing because my body was starting to betray me.He said 'Hi..am Kip'...while his shoulder was touching mine..and in that low barritone that ripped right through me.I had to say a little prayer..'.Lord he is hot.He is hot.He is sexy.Please dont let me activate my whore powers today!!!'I dont know if my panties were mimicking my hormones but i swear they tried to fall off on their own...as if on cue!So i crossed my legs.Kip's eyes wandered down to my thighs...my dress had inched up a bit too far.He looked back up at me with a half smile...he has a dimple..and i was fucking confused.I didnt know wether to smile at the adorable dimple or step out for air because the eyes...Jesus.H.Christ!!!I silently thanked Diana for bullying me i to that little black dress..and with all the confidence i could fake..i said..'Hi am Caro'
Kip and i got to talking..we did not notice that we were alienating the rest of our friends.He is Steve Kiprono Mutai ,goes to school in Daystar.....the conversation was flowing,he made me laugh a bit and i caught myself wondering where he had been throught my lust..i mean life.
Time to go back to Eldoret came too soon.Kip made that goodbye sexy kiss at the back of a car got  me singing 'Nataka kupewa ' instead of Diamond's 'Nataka kulewa ' all the way back !!
We exchanged contacts ofcourse but the conversation remained on a flirtatious note..on and off for about a year.It all felt like an after Form Four facebook chat ..like make a move nigger am a grown woman!!!The universe answered my prayer two weeks ago when he invited me to his place in Athi River....a full black American choir burst into song in my head singing 'Oh happy Daaayyy'...Hell yeeesss !!Finallyyyy!!and another choir when he said..'Caro..i really really like you'
So i packed a bag and went on my way...with protection of course...i had not gone all the way to Athi River to fill out a sudoku puzzle.The same langata lust hit me when i saw him,but this time with butterflies in my stomach too.I gues my heart was starting to catch feelings for him too ..not just hellokitty.We did not talk much on the way to his place...i was nervous and i pretended to be asleep at some point.When we got there...i got a bit more comfortable while he started fussing around...getting this and that from his neighbour  and God knows what else.It was a bit cute to see him nervous..he did not cover it up well.He finally settled down and sat at the edge of his bed.He asked me what i wanted for supper.I smiled...took my spectacles off and said.. 'You'...
I swear its true what they say..its so beautiful when the thirst is mutual.

MY HEART JUST DOESN'T ACHE FOR YOU

Dear Fiona, when I’m with you, I’m happy, I’m at peace, I remember how we could talk for hours on end about stupid things such as One Direction and the amount of milk you put in your cereal. However, things changed when I really looked at you, I saw your eyes, and for a moment they scared me, they glowed like the sun stood right behind them. I saw your smile, so natural and so beautiful, whenever I said a joke, that smile popped up and for a moment it scared me.  The way you held my hand, so tight, as if you didn't ever want to let go, I looked and our interlocking fingers and it scared me.

Dear Fiona, the past year has been surely the best year of my life, we have traveled and seen new places, I have learnt things about you and especially about myself that I really didn't know. You remember the day you introduced me to eggs, I thought I would never eat eggs but after tasting your fried egg i guess now I am more of a poultry virtuoso. To say I regret would be mendacious of me. As a writer, I think I have the unique gift of introspection, always thinking, always analyzing deep into my subliminal mind. I don’t know if I love you, but loving is different from being loved.

Dear Fiona, I thank you for being part of my stories. As a person, you were very stubborn, always pressuring me to write more and more. Thank you for reading all my work, I remember sending you 30 emails and you managed to read them all in one night. That’s the kind of support that keeps a man’s dreams alive. However, I surely cannot say you complete me, because writing does that me. Nonetheless, you have done much more than I could ask for. From the day I meet you at a poetry slam I was sure, you were the one. Maybe in another world, maybe you actually are, but for now, I will be a loyal friend and let go of your hand, I will look away from your eyes, but i will always remember that smile, it scares me but deep down, my heart just does not ache for you anymore. Bye Fiona.

IS IT REALLY WORTH DATING?

Okay, I’d like to apologize for the rather long hiatus that I took; I have been busy figuring out some personal stuff. Anyway I’m back. That I said, lemme go back to the question at hand, is it really worth dating in this economy?

I know, I’ll probably sound like a jerk but times are hard, an average decent plate of lunch costs 300, which is why I miss lunch. I’d rather eat a fruit, take a drink or if I’m home, I just cook. Breakfast on the other hand goes for about 100bob and supper say 200. Roughly 300-400 a day inclusive of transport to and fro school if you’re a student. It’s hard to even support myself in these streets, so it begs the question, what if you have a kamama and she says you guys meet on Wednesday… Mimi cjui why hangefikiria ata yeye we just meet on Tuesday for free pizza, she has to hurt my wallet, I buy two small pizza and two drinks. Mimi ninakula yangu nasishibi, her on the other hand, complains ati ‘aki babe pizza iko na crust mob’ ‘nitakula tu nyama’ … bitch please si ungepika pizza kwenu. 1000bob gone like that!

My other point of contention is this new ice cream place, Coldstone. Just one day walk past Coldstone and see couples walking out, mwanaume amekasirika ata hajui ataenda aje home. Ice-cream, just like 2 scoops with sprinkled goodies na kamkate juu is 500! Yaani with 500 you can buy like 6 liters of soda, you can even buy the 5liter box of icecream or 10 loaves of bread. Na ujue 500 ni ya mtu mmoja. Hii Coldstone ifungwe. Never will I go there… I am not even a fan of ice-cream, wacha niende Sunford for half chicken, chips, soda na nibaki na pesa.

Lastly, going out, jameni jameni, hapo ndipo munatumalisa! Kwa club beer ni 200, soda 100 na blackice/redice/snapp/reds are 250, cjui kwanini and ni kidogo. Now, these women like pretending hawakunwi beer in public, enda kwa nyumba yao juja utapata wako juu ya Senator Key na straw. Anyway, she will drink a minimum of 4 redds, mukitoka ataskia njaa, so choma sausage for her, if your’e lucky, boiled egg na kachumbari. She will ‘not feel like javing’ so kama gari haiko taxi all the way. You will spare a bare minimum of 3000 Jomo Kenyatta Kenya Shillings. That’s more than my weekly budget man.  

In retrospect, I have absolutely no problem with dating. My only problem is that girls think we are DJ Khaleed and will provide mpaka pesa ya mamayake. We are in this together, let’s us both chip in. In this economy, as a student, that kaside-chick seems so economical now. To the girlfriends who help foot the bill, You Loyal …. You Smart and we Appreciate ya’ll.

I’m out.
