THE CALL

“I did not bother to eat”

 

I met her on 11th October, 2013. It was a Friday. Well I remember vividly because I had just returned from South Africa earlier that afternoon. We had been chatting all the 5 weeks I was away. We agreed to meet as soon as I came back. My flight was scheduled to land around 10:00 hours in the morning, but dame. I missed the flight due to the heavy Jozi traffic coupled with the drama of the taxi driver I moved with, Anyway, that is the story for another day. I was very lucky to get a seat on the 12:00 flight, very excited to some extent.

 

So immediately after landing, my workmate picked me up from the airport and took me straight home. I was staying at Plot 120 Minestone, in Chainama just adjacent to Sitalilo Shopping Centre. I was a bachelor living in a three bedroomed housemaster self-contained. I lived with my nephew who was at University doing his degree in Natural Resource Management. It was a big house with a huge living room. I told myself after graduating from University that I would live in a big house and enjoy my life as a bachelor.

 

That afternoon I came back and found no one home. I had my own set of keys so I unlocked the house and took a quick bath. I did not bother to eat maybe because the meal on the plane was sufficient. I dressed up and called her. She was so excited to hear my voice. “Hey there”

 

Isabella

“Hey, hey, please tell me you finally in?”

“Yes dear am home and ready to see you” I responded, very excited and geared to get to have my eyes right on her. “Wow that's great I can't wait. I had been anxious since morning”

 

“Me too dear sorry about the delay though”

 

“Hey it was not your fault don't stress about it”

 

“Okay, so am ready to meet you, where do we link up?”

 

“Well, am at Mandahill if you don't mind please come over”

 

“Okay cool, will be there in a little while”

 

“Little while again dear? Please give me a timeframe”

 

“Okay I will be there in the next 10-15 minutes is that fine?”

 

“Yes much better, can't wait to see you”

 

“Can‟t wait either, see you soon”

 

I took a second look at myself in the mirror and was glad with what I was seeing. I grabbed the car keys and headed for the car. I tried to open the car there was no response. Soon it dawned on me I had asked my nephew to remove the battery because there were thieves in the neighborhood who just stole batteries on cars. I ran to the storeroom and retrieved the battery. I put it on the car and started. The car could not start. Damn I was panicking. I went outside and looked for one of the cab drivers to come and jump-start me. Luckily, my car started and I was off to Mandahill. I was at Mandahill in less than 10 minutes. I parked near Ok Furnishers and decided to call her again.

 

“Hello am here where exactly are you?” hearing her tone of voice sounded more gorgeous, oh maybe it was because I was about to finally meet her.

 

“Hey, hi am by Nandos where you are?” she said.

“Ok am a few meters away from there”

 

“Okay, you will see me, am sited inside on the western corner,

 

you will see me am wearing a black dress” “Okay be there in a sec”

 

“Cool...” I walked into Nandos. There she was. She stood up when she saw me and walked towards me. We hugged awkwardly and sat down.

THE ENCOUNTER

“Her curves and & lips”

 

I could not believe she was so beautiful in person, far much beautiful than she looks on her pictures. She has a beautiful oval face with an accentuating smile. Her teeth perfectly lined as if they were just done by a specialist dentist. Her skin was so tender so smooth I could swear she had no scars of any sort, Very light in complexion with a natural short trimmed haircut.

 

Her dress curved her so beautifully as if it was sewn on her body. She had no make-up and she looked so natural. Her slippers were plain black with lining diamonds on the strings. In just a minute, I had scanned her body and was dumb struck. Beautiful does not even begin to describe her. She is angelic. She is a woman any man can dream to spend the entire life with.

 

“Hi my name is Macphersson, but you can call me Mac”

 

“My name is Isabella and you can call me Isabella”

 

“Wow great to meet you Isabella”

 

“The pleasure is all mine Mac” For the first time, the short form of my name sounded so perfect and sweet. She pronounced it with so much passion and conviction it was as if I had known her all my life.

 

“So what do you wanna take?”

 

”I had late lunch so just a grape juice will do for me”

“Okay great, grape juice and tropical juice for me” as I dismissed the waiter.

 

“So how was your flight?”

 

“Well it was great, despite the delay but it was fantastic” ”I was getting worried that you would not show up”

 

With a chuckle... “No I would not do that to you, so tell me a bit about Isabella”

 

“Hmmm that's a tricky one, what do you wanna know?”

 

“Anything just stuff about you, where you come from, what you do and yah such stuff”

 

“Okay … let me say Isabella is the only girl child in a family of five and off-course the last-born. My mum is Zambian while my dad is from Lesotho, yah, and am 26, currently I work as customer care executive at my uncles company, ok let me just say am a receptionist mwe. Anyway, that's about me in brief”

 

“Wow, great. Interesting background”

 

“Yep that's me and am not gonna ask about you now I will ask you sometime later”

 

So, we chitchatted through our drinks and had a great stint. It was a Friday so we agreed we all go freshen up and meet up later in the evening. She told me her home was in Lusaka West, where she stayed with her granny but she would be at her brother‟s place in Avondale so I could pick her up from there when ready to go.

 

Later I gave her a lift up to her brother‟s place in Avondale. She pecked me on the chick and said see you later dear. It felt so good I was looking forward to our date later that evening.

 

So I left Avondale and drove past my home and proceed to my office to do some quick catch ups. By 5:00 PM I was done and

heading home. I reached home and unpacked my bags. Listened to the news and decided to take a little nap. I woke up to a bang on my bedroom door. It was my nephew. He wanted to know if I needed dinner and I said no knowing I will have dinner where I was going. When I checked the time on my phone, it was 15 minutes past 7PM. I had 3 missed calls from Isabella. I decided to do a quick bath. After dressing up I called her back.

 

 

“Hello Isabella sorry missed your calls I napped”

 

“Ah baby, I wanted to ask you what I should put on not knowing where we are going”

 

“It‟s too late now right?”

 

“No… am still waiting for you am just wrapped in a towel”

 

“Yummy, can I come help you dress up?”

 

“Haha no you are late I wanted you to apply lotion on me”

 

“I can do it for the second time you will be more radiant”

 

“Haha baby you are crazy on phone, in person you seem shy”

 

“Am not shy you ala”

 

“Haha will see about that. Ok so what should I wear a dress or a slack?”

 

“Hmmm since I wanna see your legs I will go for a dress besides you looked awesome in that dress earlier”

 

“Laughing, you are crazy; you were already doing a body check sure?”

 

“Off course which man would not appreciate such beauty?”

“Haha am chuffed. Ok for you, I will put on a dress though I prefer a slack when am going out in the night…..hey by the way

“Okay we will make a plan. In my father‟s house are many rooms”

 

“Hah, baby you stay with your parents?”

 

“Yes but only mum”

 

“Hmmm I see”

 

“You don't want to meet her?”

 

“Hmmm, not so soon and not under these circumstances” “Mwandi am just pulling your leg I stay with my nephew” “Ha better, you scared me there”

 

“Don‟t worry you will meet her soon if you impress me”

 

“Hahaha do I have to impress you? I just need to know her the rest is history”

 

“Okay dear dress up and be ready I'll be there in 20-30 minutes” “Okay love, see you soon and hey drive safe yah?"

 

“Always do. See you soon”

THE STARE

“I pictured beyond”

 

I asked my nephew to lock up and that I had carried my keys will be back later. Just you know am not really a night person. I hardly go out be it weekends or special holidays. I enjoy staying home either working on something or catching up on my favorite detective series!

 

20:06 I was at the gate of Isabella‟s gate in Avondale. A few minutes before getting to her house, I had called that I would be there in 3 minutes. So the time I was getting there she was already outside the gate. With my headlights shining on her maroon dress with gold sandals, she looked angelic. I stopped the car came out hugged her and opened the door for her. In those days, I was driving an Isuzu Big Horn Plasir diesel machine.

 

She nicely
