A no strings-attached vacation with Cindy

She is upbeat about the three days you are going out of Nairobi. Curiously, she has not mentioned her boyfriend, which is fine. If she did, even once, it will be a killjoy. If she has any element of guilt, she is suppressing it so good, you give an A for the attempt.

Speaking of guilt, there is nothing more liberating in the world than indulging in something without any trace or element of guilt. You remember from your drama classes in college that human beings are driven by three things; motive, objective and super objective.

What could be her motive? To spite her boyfriend, maybe? Objective: have some guilt-free fun, probably? Super objective: snatch you back from her friend Cindy. She thought it was going to be a hit and run, but was mistaken. Now, she had to pull her charm and win you back. You always knew she had a thing for you. Or is she just using you? You don’t want to start the year like that, do you?

Anyway, you park the usual; shorts, polo T-shirts, jeans, a Christopher Hitchens book that you are not going to read, a pair of sun glasses and your running sneakers. You are in her house as she parks her sun glasses, two very short dresses, one long dress, hot pants and her swimming costumes.

Carol has since matured. In other words, she has not mentioned her boyfriend in the last 48 hours and counting. She is optimistic about the trip. You have never seen her so forthcoming. You only hope that all will end well.

In the one hour flight, she sleeps on your lap as you pretend to read an in-flight magazine but essentially you are watching her breathe, so at peace and wondering what a prick of a boyfriend she has. And you are determined to make her forget about him.

At the hotel, everything goes as planned. Early dinner, relaxing in the room, and you join a bunch of touristy types in the hotel lobby to usher in new year, but the sexual tension between the two of you ensures that you ‘jump’ the year back in the room.

At this stage, you both are careless, but cautious at the same time. And nothing like alcohol to loosen up any doubts. You are deliberately swilling the whiskey to ante up your carelessness. In case of anything, alcohol has always been a perfect excuse.

You check into the room and you try to monitor how she behaves. It is good, when a woman takes initiative. You take off your shirt, lie shirtless on the bed and watch her as she battles with her conscience to make a choice, knowing this potentially changes everything. Good enough, the liquor is working her up.

Finally, she takes off her top, and joins you in bed, sleeping on your chest, in a manner that tells you, “I’m all yours”. Since you were created to handle situations exactly like this, you rise to the occasion.

The morning after, when you first look at each other, there is a sense of relief and a reassuring ‘heey’. That wasn’t bad at all. You plan for the day. Part of the objective being, to watch swim in the mid-morning sun. You knew this day would come. Few people are having a better start to the year. Damn the consequences.
