"I am Zach and I take care of beautiful ladies like you who might in one way or the other believe in themselves" I didn't know what my statement meant, why I said that but the words brought themselves into my mouth. The next few minutes were filled with a mix of reaction. Reactions of hate and betrayal from the guys and reaction of happiness and sorry from the ladies.
"So by your look and judgement you think we are worth your time?" the lady seated next to my Crush and nearly opposite to me asked as she gave me a look that gave me one and only choice. To say yes or keep quiet and show them the way to their new table. But I decided to go with both.
"Yes" I said as I let them to follow me and have their dreams come true.
"My Swahili teacher would say, -fuata nyuki ule asali-my crush said as she sat beside me at our table.
"I am Mercy", she said smiling. I could see the smile written all over Tame's and Jase's faces meant my mission was well done and succesful, which was a commencement of happiness from that moment till the day we will all part. The next few hours were full of sweet moments of truth and lies, especially lies, the lies I hated most, of how I loved you the first time I saw you! I remember Jase telling Lisa how much he has been admiring her for months. Lisa bought it because Jase didn't seem the cheating and prevaricating type. Conversations between a one-night spouse thing and among the six of us surrounding the round table filled with drinks of different kinds. Each one had a story to tell especially when Jase told us about his high school crush.
How he used to sneak to certain club neighboring his school and hide in one of the waitress's house in case he saw one of his teachers. Little did he know that this lady was his deputy principal's property too. It was disaster when his deputy found them in bed at around three o'clock in the morning. I wish I could find the best words to use to describe the look of fury and anger written on his face when he saw me riding his horse after feeding it the whole day.
"I didn't wait for my expulsion letter, I just left never to go back to the school." Jase finished his story.
"Zach?" Mercy called. "May be you can share your clash too!" she said so sure that I had one.
"Mine is no different to Jase's", I said.
"Leave that to the audience to decide brother," Tame said. I don't know why Tame underpropped Mercy but all in all they were all looking at me waiting for a story like the way we used to look at my grandfather when I was young. The more they looked at me the more my high school skirmish with my English teacher was building castles in my head.
"Zach! Zach! Zach! Zach", they were all shouting on the top of their voices such that it allured the heed of the bar mates seated near our table. They all looked to see what was happening to us but none except me was concentrated on their foiled apoplectic faces.
"Okay! Okay guys, you win", they stopped shouting.
"When I was in form two", I began. "I fell in love with my English teacher's daughter but at the same time I had a crush on the mother. I remember how she used to pass outside my class room going to the staffroom to see her mother. I always wished she could love me.Most of the nights, I would sneak to the office of my English teacher and enjoy her company as well as licking her honey with my fingers, my tongue as well as with my pintle. She was experienced, so ill be glad to say that she really taught me alot about bedroom war actions.
Like other days, I was going to see my English teacher when I found her in the office with her mother. Her eyes met mine and that's how I felt a certain dazzling of sweet attraction inside my whole body. I froze for a moment and I couldn't remember why I was in that office."
"I am sorry I was just checking on you madam", I said and stormed out of the office running. I heard both laugh as I ran."
I knew I had to make the first move, and again I could control myself no more so one day I decided to talk to her that's when the magnetism of our opposite likes attracted each other. She was two years older than me, and she had already completed her secondary education. Love palpables itself in miraculous ways so trust me she enamored me too." I paused.
"Your story doesn't sound the same as Jase's dear", Linn shouted trying her best to make me continue.
"I don't want to misheed things but it sounds like a really nice love story, maybe I will tell it to my wife", Tame said and all eyes were on him, "I mean when I marry off course" he added after realizing the mistake he had made. Everyone relaxed.
I think Zach should just continue", Lisa snapped. The rest betrayed me by nodding their head as a sign of ordering me to continue. It was an order.
"I remember the first time we wanted to make love. I ran away. I don't know what happened to me after I saw her totally naked and dancing in front of me as I sat on the bed. May be I ran away because I had never seen anyone naked before not even her mother for we made out with cloths on except for the parts in action. That day I made sure I watched few phonographic movies so that I won't disappoint her again. That's if she was going to give me another chance."
"She didn't talk to me for the next one week but at last she forgave me and we were okay. She was good and she taught me more tricks different from what her mother had taught me. I remember she could sneak through the school fence from the teacher's quarters and meet me at the bathroom. She was good in making love."
