Cold one 2

               There was a rustle inside. The water had stopped. She opened the bathroom door slightly, peeking out.  “What do you mean?” I looked her in the eyes, and this time, my expression was different. The shadows under the bulb gave my face a subtle weight, like the memory I was about to share had never quite let me go. “The last time kuwa na water heater,    design ilinilima ka ghasia venye nilienda kuzima maji after nimemaliza ku shower nilijipanguza maji nikalala the whole day ju ya kuboeka.” Her hand gripped the doorframe tighter. I chuckled, but it was dry, not amused — grateful. The bathroom door opened fully now. She stood wrapped in a towel, her expression unreadable but softened. “Souley,” she said, voice quieter now,  “why didn’t you just tell me that from the start?” I smiled faintly, stepping to her.  “Some scars don’t talk, unless,  someone listens long enough.” She leaned against the doorframe, th...

  It was a polite time, and I was having this conversation, with one of my top Gs, Tommie. Not to gas him up or anything, but allow me to be Safaricom just this once, you know, to give credit where its due.  Tommie, he is one of the most creative and crazy ninjas I know. We could be having a conversation and the next second, would find us cracking up, like we lost our own fucking damn minds!

Nikaingia kwa hao, nikachamgamkia ka shower pale, niskie very nice, clean and fresh. Alafu kutayarisha kitu ya kula pale ju tumbo ilikuwa inaguruma ka lorry ya FH, ikipanda mlima ikiwa imejaa mchanga. Food ikaiva tu hivi na nikajiserve. Design storyteller wenu yuko very clean na ameng’ara, alafu yuko tayari kuchangamkia plate ya food, ogopa. Hii ndio time huwa hautaki wageni kabsaa but hii life bana, no balance, time hautaki kitu ndio inakuja full force. Kabla hata sijauma kijiko hata moja ya food nikasikia knock kwa mlango. Najaribu kuona ka ni next door, but venye knock naisikia haiwezi kuwa kwa neiba. Najaribu kukumbuka ka niliset appointment ya playoffs yeyote leo, naona pia zii. Nikataka kulenga kufungua kabsaa. Design najikaza kuoneshana siko, usitake jua but knocking ikakuwa persistent sana hadi imeanza kuniudhi. Najiuliza tu kim...
