Part 8
I didn’t reply at that moment. There
was a lot going on in my mind so Adriana’s message was something of great
concern.
Wayne planned a night out with his
friends, so he let the hotel with his friends.
I took a quick shower and prepared
myself for bed. I was tipsy and tired so it didn’t take time for me to sleep. As
I just closed my eyes, my phone rang and to be honest felt lazy to answer so I switched off the
phone and went to sleep.
Woke up the next morning feeling week and hungry.
Obvious symptoms of a person who had an interesting night. I remembered to
switch on my phone while I prepared for breakfast. When I have a hangover, my
reactions and movements are slower and I am not as responsive. In simple terms
I become lazy.
I then received a phone call from
Adriana 5 minutes after I switched on my phone.
“Hello?!”,
I answered
“Hey
Nash. WTF, you ignored my calls last night” she said angrily
“WOW,
good morning to you too Adriana. How did you sleep?” I replied calmly
“Whatever!
There is a BBQ today. I want you there, so I will be at your hotel in an hour.
Be ready”
Adriana had this habit of commanding
people when she was stressed or had a lot on her mind. I didn’t want to piss
her off or add the stress.
So I gave a simple reply,
“Ok.
An hour.”
Of course this meant I wasn’t going to
have breakfast. I took a bath and went downstairs to get some coffee. As I
waited for my coffee Adraiana then walked in, she was properly dressed for a
summer BBQ. A short blue short,a simple pink top and she wore big stunners.
This meant she wasn’t in a good mood.
She walked towards me, gave me a hug
but she didn’t let go of me. She then moved back her head in a kissing position
and I quickly turned my head so that she kissed my cheek as I kissed hers as
well.
“Hey
Adriana! How you feeling love?” I asked politely
“Not
so great Nash. I don’t wanna talk about it. By the way, I am not alone. I am
with 4 other girls so we going to use your car.”
I was shocked. I wasn’t dressed for
company, late alone 4 other girls in the car. I couldn’t suggest to go change
because of Adriana’s mood. So I just had to tough it out. I took my coffee and
walked nervously to meet the girls outside. The situation got worse because the
ladies outside wear so pretty and well dressed. Very presentable and then I was
looking as if I was walking around in my PJ's.
As I stepped outside, the 4 girls
started giving me judgmental looks. The greetings were cold and awkward so I
didn’t waste anytime. I asked the ladies to stay by the hotel entrance while I
went to collect the car.
As I left, I heard one of the girls
ask, “Adriana, so where is the guy with
the car?”
“That
is him!”, Adriana replied
To be honest, I didn’t like any of the
girls and Adriana was in a bad mood so that meant the drive was going to be
awkward. I started the car, bought on some upbeat hip hop music that would help
keep me awake during the drive.
As I pulled up by the entrance to
scoop up the girls, I saw they faces changing. They didn’t expect me to be
driving a nice car so the faces changed from being disappointed to impressed and in love. I stepped out, and opened the front passenger door for Adriana and
opened the back door for the other girls.
As the ladies entered the car, they
all said thank you and giggled. I hate girls like that.
Best believe I ignored the girls
during the drive. Although they made several attempts to get me talking, I was
just as called as they were when I meant them at the hotel. I gave Adriana a
close watch, but she did nothing but look at her phone and gaze out of the
window.
We finally got to the BBQ. I parked
the car, and opened my door. As I was about to step out, Adriana stopped me.
She didn’t look at me neither did she say anything, she simply put her on my
shoulder indicating I should stay in the car.
The other girls left me and Adriana in
the car and there was a minute of silence in the car.
“So
do you like any of them?” she asked
My heart stopped for a bit, I thought
Adriana knew about my love life already. I kept quite as if I was processing
what she had asked.
“It
is ok if you like any of them. I can hook you up!” she added
I laughed and said, “Stop being like that Adriana. You know that
I am not in their league. They wouldn’t like me.”
For the first time that day Adriana
smiled and removed her stunners.
“Ok.
Nash, what do you take me for? We kissed a few days ago and now you act like
nothing happened. I tried kissing you today and you give me your cheek!? What
is that?”
This was a first for me. I have always
known Adriana of being honest and never playing mind games but today she was so
honest and serious. There was tension in the car and I was sweating. Just as I
was about to speak, Tashy knocked on the window and waved. For the first time I
was happy to see her.
Adriana took a deep sigh opened the
door and left. I went outside, and greeted Tashy while Adriana walked away.
Tashy sensed something was wrong so she ran off to find Adriana. I was now
alone at this BBQ, Adriana pissed at me, Tashy a non-starter and Wayne wasn’t
around.
This was a bad time for me. I was hungry ,stressed and on the verge of
boredom. I was at the BBQ already so why not try to have fun. After I had some
meat and a salad, it was time to DRINK!
I went to the and bought one full
bottle of vodka and some lemonade to dilute my mixture (I was driving, no
strong stuff).
As I wanted for my items, Jenny then
came by the counter.
“WOW
isn’t this a pleasant surprise. I gave you my number and you don’t call and now
we at the same BBQ. Someone out there wants us to be together!”, Jenny said jokingly
“I
wouldn’t blame that person. We both attractive and single. So why not?”, I
replied smiling
Jenny smiled and looked down
blushing. As she looked down, I then saw Adriana looking at me….. NO, NO,
STARING AT ME! She literally wiped the smile of my face.
I saw Adriana walking over to where I
was. She smiled and gave me a deep, long and passionate kiss. I couldn’t pull
off because to be honest I loved Adriana’s kisses. She then stopped, smiled,
turned around to look at Jenny and then walked off.
“Single
huh??” Jenny asked disappointed.
“Jenny
wait….. Adri…… aaaahhhh!!!”
I was at a BBQ for less than an hour
and I was already in drama. Now I planned on getting crazy wasted. I took my
drinks and made my way to the car. Once at the car, I quickly made my first dilution, drunk it quickly, the second dilution and drunk it again.
Then suddenly,
“NASH!!!??”,
Wayne shouted out in his friends car.
“Hey
bro. I didn’t know you was coming here. Don’t leave me ok. Give me a few hours
and I will come back”, Wayne continued as car drove away.
He didn’t even stop to hear what my
situation was, but I had no option but to wait for him. This day was just
getting worse by the day. From a distance I could see and Adriana and her
friends looking at me from a distance. Judging by the way the girls looked at
me, the girls weren’t happy. This quickly became an awkward environment for me.
I called Wayne to tell him I can’t
stay. Wayne was drunk so he didn’t answer his phone so I decided to leave..
I started the car and just as I was to
reverse Adriana came by the window, leaned towards me as if she was about to
kiss me. She then stopped, looked down, laughed and moved back.
“Next
time say Good Bye Nash. Call me!”
The drive back to the hotel was long
and confusing. I didn’t know what had just happened. So when I got to the
hotel, I went to my bed and just slept.
Up to now, I can’t explain what
happened to me at that BBQ.I couldn’t call any of the girls I know, Adriana,
Jenny, Tashy or any other girl.
I spent my last few days in Zimbabwe
in a confused state. I left Zimbabwe and I can tell you up to this day,
everything hasn’t been well with either Adriana, Jenny or Tashy. It feels
awkward talking to them. There is so much tension, unexplainable tension!
