“…See you around, sometime”
He said with a seductive tone, looking directly at me as the words floated from
his defined smooth lips. I could see the desire in his eyes, through his words.
In response I bit my lip seductively and gave him a look, which he knew said `I
sure hope so'. And with that he left, walking through the crowd stopping to
talk to the grungy Justin Timberlake look alike.
“Oh my gosh, snap out of it. You don't have to look so desperate Kesh” Leyah
sniggered snapping her long unpolished fingers at me, waking me out of my
mesmerised state.
“Yeah, you are one horny lady, and you're the one with the full time, resident
man! Look at us two, we haven't got anything and you got everything. We got men
in jars…”
“Ummm hum, and batteries on standby” Leyah added.
“… And there you are being all greedy. Taking all the men, not leaving anything
for us. Cor, you undressed him with your eyes a thousand times and exhaled so
many times I lost count!”
We all laughed. It was true. I was not satisfied at home, or maybe in life. I
was always subconsciously searching. Searching for something better, someone
with more to offer, more love to give. I wasn't even sure that if I found that
man, I would be satisfied, but right now all I knew was that I was seeking Kamarni!
“Look Janet, you can talk. Come on, Marcus is back in town and he is the finest
brotha EVER, and you just let him slip out your hands again and again!” I
preached.
“He is one fine chocolate
brotha and you need to go and grab your man. Heck I'm jealous I didn't meet him
first, and here you are playing with him!”
“Yep, Kesh has got a point
there Jay!” Leyah said in agreement.
Janet immediately rose to her
defence. “Look, it just isn't that simple”
Listen to me, the big relationship philosopher. I had this habit of dishing out good advice for others but not for myself. But I'm a risk taker, I don't waste time. I react to the moments, not leave them in the air. You haven't lived until you have taken numerous risks.
