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.
