Been a couple of weeks since I last logged in an entry up in this mutherfucker, accept my arrogantly written humble apology. Ah ha! Durin’ my hiatus I wrote a hundred entries…all in my head! Lazy ass me but I promise am gon change.
Anyways, am back and guess what? I’m writin’ this in my lucky white drawers! Been wearin it since late 31st December! Yeah, I know, I’ll take it off after am done churnin’ out this entry.

At the stroke of midnight, time did what time does best. Heal all wound? Nah, it didn’t heal shit. It smashed through the old and threw our asses into the new…out with the ’12, in with the ’13 and boy, did it do in it style? The New Year came drenched in torrential rain and when shit like that happens, my people say it’s a good sign of things to come. I hope to God my people are right. I want my people to be right, dammit!
I was tucked in bed in my favorite white drawer listenin’ to the rain drummin’ lullabically (yeah, I know there’s no word like that…yet) on the roof…I was happy as a month’s old bambino wit his mama’s tittie in his mouth! And in that moment, while waitin’ for Morpheus’s arms, my mind drifted back to a love affair that started less than two weeks ago…

Protea Hotel
Safari Lodge
Kris and Mwaba met for the first time on a rainy Saturday morning. Kris and his crew came to collect us (me, Bridget and Mwaba) an hour and half late. The original plan was for them to come through round 07:30 so that we’d set off early the thirty minutes plus drive to the safari.
Prior to our meetin’, I’d heard a lot about Kris from Bridget. Kris is a relative to one of Bridget’s colleagues at work.
Ridin’ short-gun, I turned back to say hello to the guys who were already on the bus as we set off. I shook Kris’s hand and introduced myself. He told me his name was Kris. Kris with a “K”
Kris with a K! Hmmm, very interesetin’, I thought to myself.
Oh, y’all didn’t that was interestin’? Okay, let me finish then you can make your judgment.
09:45
The rains had let up a little bit by the time we checked in at the safari. We found the other guys from the company were already there, coolin’, we joined them.
It was an end of the year company day out for the top execs, the type of get together where guys from the echelon of the food chain go with a friend or two of theirs to go kick it and let their hair down. So, I was invited to tag along.
11:23
Kris and Mwaba were off into their own world. They were kickin’ it like two old friends would. Nah, let me rephrase that, they were kickin’ like the newlywed! Yeah, it was that intense!
At the end of our safari getaway, Kris admitted he was in love with Mwaba but she on the other hand didn’t exactly feel the same way. It was just another kiss-ya-nice-to-meet-ya kinda thing for her.
I heard Kris hasn’t stop talkin’ bout Mwaba ever since. I even heard Kris wanted to cop a few things for his “girlfriend” (Mwaba) when he went Christmas shoppin’ with the fam’.
Outro
Fast forward to yesterday and the first mind blowin’ revelation of 2013 came to light…Mwaba is love with Kris! She confessed to her aunty (Bridget) after she made her promise never to let her mum know! Here’s the kicker Kris is a seven year old boy and Mwaba is jus six!
