Lessons Learned from Finishing Campus

“The next time you live like this will be when you’ve made your first million,” the old tuk tuk driver transporting my belongings from college to my new home remarked.   “Out here, you don’t vandalize property because your tap is dry or there’s a power outage.” His tone carried a hint of sadistic sarcasm, regardless of how well-meaning his unrequested guidance was.   In the past few months, I’ve been having numerous meetings with Mr. Reality. Just two weeks ago, while attending a graduation party at a friend's place, the caretaker stormed in, furious, and served a notice that completely killed the party. Only recently, while shopping at a local supermarket, I found out that the price of Unga has skyrocketed to six times what it was when I started my college four years ago. These are just a few of the harsh realities that the seemingly comfortable life in college shelters you from. It's not amusing at all.   Reality is the most grotesque monster one can face, parti...

THE RIGHT WINGMAN

 





Have you ever come across a woman who is so perfect that you want to uncover something wrong with her, if only to make her seem less perfect? Anything at all! foul breath. Teeth discolored by salty water of Narok or Nakuru. Meru accent. A Facebook name like Shiks which is decidedly uncool. Perhaps she has a child. or when she sees you, she burps. Sometimes she sneezes so forcefully that snot flows from her nostrils and lands on the upper corner of her lip. Because she is without a handkerchief, you will need to pass her a serviette. Even better, she has to wipe it off with the inside of her blouse if there isn't a serviette. Anything at all!

This previous Saturday, a woman of that kind was seated across from me. It was a dream, so wonderful. No matter how corny the screenplay is, you want to cast her in a movie that will go down as one of the most unforgettable since the invention of fire.

She was without any makeup. natural air. Little light skin than Olive Burrows, but with a slightly deeper skin tone. Her hair was rolled back and coiffed to perfection. Her cheeks were proportional and had just a hint of a dimple. Her eyes, which are significantly redder and darker, make her extremely attractive. Her breasts glowed with sensual promise as they pointed at me, despite the fact that her dress just reached her collarbones. A stunning woman wearing a well-fitting crimson dress exudes a powerful aura.

Naturally, I thought of the typical dumb questions that men ask; She is probably dealing with a bastard who waits three hours to return her message or maybe someone bangs this raw. Who is her gynecologist? Never mind; whether it's your bespectacled boss in a corner office or a matatu tout, these are questions that men ask themselves all the time.

"Are the seats taken?" my boy Austin inquired.

With a smile that was half-inviting, half-human, and half Nairobian woman, the stunning woman glanced up. She turned to face her pal, who paused a little before saying, "We can take them."

She indulged in cock tail.  If a lady is taking black ice or cock tail, it's implies that she has some sort of class or that spirits has taught her lessons. After I sat down across from her, we looked at each other for three seconds. Nothing caught my attention.

I glanced at her friend. Tolerable, but not very lovely. She was pimply, that means she had daddy issues. She was slightly overweight, that means she had an attitude problem.
She had not so becoming weave, which means she was drinking Snapp. She was actually drinking Snapp. She wore specs, that means she cut that inadvertent look of a snob that made her all the more spooky. I took the seat directly opposite her and our eyes locked for three seconds. Nothing registered.

Austin placed an order for a White Cap, the ridiculous beer that became well-known because of the rumor that Kibaki once drank it. Never before has a beverage been promoted on national television by an unverified rumor about a haughty president who used to nickname a portion of his supporters "chicken poop." Advertising White Cap has never been necessary to EABL. This place is full of Kibaki wannabes, dude. Anything that is overly or underly advertised has one thing in common: they are all tacky. But Austin makes up for it by being a great wingman, regardless of how poor his beer selection may be. You would characterize him as terrific.

I have several hats. I decided to try Tusker Lite this evening. More emasculated men in this city than La Patrona's meaningless essays was that one beer. Tusker Lite is probably taken by men who are attracted to La Patrona. But I want to look like the cool guy this evening. I have my beard neatly trimmed (lies), a fancy watch with a faux gold band, and my visiting cousin lent me his iPhone for the evening. I feel like the average "doing-well" guy that goes to clubs and attracts any woman. Plus, we are very wealthy and it is mid month, when patrons of this well-liked location on Kimathi Street are allowed to drink one beer per person and Del Montes. We order three drinks apiece to impress, and we order two for the girls, who are hesitant but eventually accept. After all, this is Nairobi, where ladies are always up for free alcohol. We are aware of the rules.


The moment I pay for the beer, Paul's always-aware mind kicks in. First of all, he is aware that I am not running for any office in this city. There are therefore some conditions to my generosity. The gorgeous woman is what I want. Paul needs to be my wingman in order to prevent the chubby friend from cock-bombing me. That's what curvaceous girls with attractive friends always do. That is their place in the human eco-system of nightclubs.

I was mentally practicing an opener pick up line while the drinks were being set out on the table. Being Jeng, Paul was taught how to woo women by his mother. I hear him saying how nice the wooden bracelet is that Ms. Chubby has around her neck. With a deep bass line, he complimented her on its sincerity and Afro-whateverness. It's just an inexpensive, basic bracelet. Still, she puts on a nice, "thank you."


I was purposefully staring at the stunning woman across from me as she appeared to be on her phone. She's probably giggling at some dumb joke that someone in her dumb Whatsapp group posted.
I would consider my earthly mission accomplished if I could have my way with her, she was so beautiful. When their more attractive girls are given the truth, chubby females detest it. The same thing happens when a woman freely leans into your ear and murmurs that your friend is funnier or more attractive. We detest it.


Austin was already talking inanely to her friend and complimenting her like Moses Kuria does when disparaging remarks about other people's ethnicities on social media. Paul was right at home. After ten minutes of talking, there was a sense of familiarity that made it seem as though they were college roommates or perhaps childhood friends. I hadn't spoken anything to the world's most gorgeous woman yet.


She pulled something from her purse. It was made of leather and screamed sophistication.


"Is that made of leather?" I posed a serious question.

Pure, she exclaimed, grinning. Ladies may be very conceited, and that indicated to me that I might approach her with flattery. Well, you know what!

I remarked, "Looks like a good, pricey bag," in an attempt to get her to engage with me. I don't tell a good bag from a terrible one, by the way. She chuckled.

Could you please tell me where you purchased it so I can get my sister one?

"Dubai."

She got up to use the restroom, boy, what she was perched on can’t be put in words. I'll talk about her bum instead of her curvy hips because she has nothing on any wasp in the world. I could sell my five-acre ancestral land and take a vacation to Mauritius. Even if I end up living like a pauper, I would still have achieved everything in my life. Her legs were as delicate and supple as the inner layers of a banana plant stalk, and she stood at a height of around 5'6". You would believe her flowery dress was custom-made for her, the way it drew in her posterior. It seemed to me that she had stood especially to show me her treasures. Excellent work.

Her friend eyeballed me as I stood to let her go, so I took a moment to look at her from behind. Austin didn't really pay attention, but he had seen everything that needed to be seen, I promise. Her friend casually said, "I'm badly behaved for openly gawking at her friend's behind," which was an innocuous comment. As they focused their attention on her, I saw that every man in the club was acting inappropriately. I promise that if she decides to pursue a career in socializing, she will make Huddah, Corazon and any other potential socialites irrelevant for the next ten years.

I got up to go to the restroom when I knew she was returning so I could meet her there and give her a lot of praise. Things that I was not allowed to say in front of her girl friend, who would secretly text her and tell her she knows me from Kitale and that I gave her cousin gonorrhea back in 2002, merely to put her off.

I flatter her as I ran into her.

"Why lie, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." I assure you. Your body can promote everything on the planet. She politely waved her hand and grinned, more for the drinks I had purchased than the corny remarks she gets all the time. I texted Austin to find out the strategy after heading to the men's room. He had it all worked out, just like a good wingman should.

Upon my return, I discover that he has persuaded them to go fish at K’osewe and then return for our drinks. Now that we had taken over their evening, I wonder why these two women are acting so carefree and what they were doing in the club in the first place. We contacted our familiar waitress and asked her to hold the unopened drinks for us while we went to grab a quick bite. To go to Kosewe, we cross the street.

Ms Chubby placed a chicken order. Unfortunately, the coconut fish that my queen had ordered was out of stock. She made due with a simple fish stew. Paul chose to eat goat meat. I gave in and had roast fish. After taking a seat along the wall, we received service. She chose White Ugali, which means to me that she either has class or is not diabetic. Less mattered to me what the others were eating. I saw that Austin was making eye contact with Ms. Chubby, whose name, I later discovered, was Anita—one of the most repulsive names a person has ever been given. My queen's name was equally horrible. Have you heard of Julie, the stunning woman?

I flipped the fish over, sliced it open, and held it up to her mouth. She took it with her little round mouth open.

"I wish I took the roast one."

"Kwani, how is yours?" She sliced a piece and gave it to me with care.

Looking in my direction, Austine, who was now conversing with Anita about insurance, inquired,

"Na mmefika aje part hiyo?"

"Eeish, you guys have moved so fast," chimed Anne

"We are meant for each other." With confidence, I spoke.

"Avoid getting ahead of yourself," she cautioned, sounding sincere.

I started munching on her piece of fish, and since fish tastes the same whether it's boiled, raw, roasted, or fried, I had no idea what to say about it. It was time to leave because the live band was starting to grow loud. I had the opportunity to stroll beside her as we made our way back to the club, across the street, to finish our drinks, and I made some nice remarks about how well our heights matched.

Austo, I noted, was staying just far enough away to allow me to throw in as many lines as possible. I had a fantastic audience in her. We were seated in three rows back in the club, and I volunteered to stand. The two women had relaxed after an hour. Veronica and Austo were having a great time together on the dance floor, like if they had been dating for ages. It turns out that Anita could dance well. Julie asked to dance with me. I can't dance now. However, she drew me over to the narrow area between the chairs. I attempted to dance, but she quickly recognized that she could teach me how to make moves, but she could get a lawnmower to dance. She released me.

A young man was dancing close by. After he made a move on her, I noticed the man's perverse intents, and within five minutes they were dancing. At first, my lovely queen was a professional. However, following a song by Nonini mtoto mzuri, she was massaging the boy's rear. It's as if she hadn't taken my supper, two beers, and two shots of this creamy substance that cost me an additional Sh 500. All of this was worth Sh 2000. "Unajua ni mimi nimebuy huyu dame drinks," I growled in his ears as I dragged him away and held his hand menacingly.

Austo gave me a glance. shook his head. came to tell me, trying to figure out what the problem was. The child had urinated on himself when I realized I was being a jerk, so I told him I was just playing a practical joke on him. She turned to face me, wondering how long it had been since she'd seen a not so handsome, clearly possessive man like me.

"Act appropriately; I can't be doing all of this and you're not even pursuing that chick."

"Let's switch the club. We're leaving town,” I proposed.


"How far along are you? We will be squandering more money if there is no development, even if you went to the moon together without asking her out. Recall that we are nearly Sh 6,000 poorer," Austin remarked, threatening to kick me in the balls.

She was giving the man her number when I checked her out. My mental state had collapsed. I hadn't precisely determined who she was, by the way. But without a doubt, she was a student, or what? She didn't have a pampered appearance. Despite her age, beauty, and status, she seemed excessively carefree and carefree.

Anyway, I needed to get things done quickly because of Austine's sacrifice. Indeed, Austo arrived with a strategy and inquired about the ideal location for the girls' party. You can trust those who are impoverished or unable to pay for a night out to choose the most prestigious location. They made due with a club in Westlands, where they were asking for only 25 year olds. We set off, and from then on I was more careful. I chose the most amusing remark to make her laugh uncontrollably. I was moving forward.

Austo was delighted that Anita was going to be his wife. I heard them discussing plans to purchase a home in Syokimau. Julie gave me all of her attention and was acting appropriately now. She was being eyed by all the men at the table, and I was sitting there sulking, praying that some Freddie would not turn up. Suddenly, she gets up, gives me a hug, and tells me,

"My boyfriend, we need to leave."


I have personally experienced it. Not even once. Two times. However, I discovered that in Nairobi, any girl is approachable with money.




To be continued.




Austine was excellent in his performance that night. I'll also tell you what qualities make an excellent wingman in my upcoming piece.
