Friday afternoon after work, I decide to visit my friend who stays in Diepsloot, I get to the taxi rank and thereās a queue/ second last in the line thereās a cute girl and I just said to myself i have to talk to her/ I go straight to her and ask if that is the queue for Diepsloot 4&7, which she answered yes/ I join the line and I stare at her from head and bottom/ I wanted her to see that I am staring and I do not intend to look away/ she looks at me, I look right back at her straight into her eyes
After what felt like a long time waiting eventually a taxi came/ we sat at the back seat but there was a wall (someone)Ā in between us which made all impossible to talk to her/ It is Friday i am tired from work and the drive there is quite long plus traffic is just terrible so I decide to sleep my way there so does she... I woke up just as we enter Diepsloot/ and the guy between us wakes her up so she does not miss her stop/ I overheard her saying she is getting off at 7 where the taxi ends and that is where my friend said I should get off/ FYI I do not know where I am going... as we drive through the place people getting even the great wall fell now thereās nothing standing in the wayĀ
I said āI think I know youā
she responded byĀ āyou have a familiar face tooā
I did not know that we have reached our destination/ she gets up and ask me are you not getting off/ I ask is this 7/ yes she says... okay/ we both got out of the taxi/ she can tell I was not familiar with the place/ it was dark no street lights/ I give her my phone to add her number to my contact as I call my friend with my another phone/ she gives me my phone and says she can not wait with as she has to rush to her place but I call her and tell her when I am home safe/Ā
There is a tavern across the street from where I got off so I decide to go there and grab one whilst waiting for my friend/ just as I open my beer, my friend arrives/ we buy more beers and head to his place/ we get to his place I put my bag away/ we sit outside and starts drinking, one of his buddy come join us/ it is all good, it has been over an hour since parted ways with that a girl, I had forgotten to call her, immediately I do so/ after 3/4 rings she picks up...
- meĀ āhi, this is so and so, I was in the taxi with you blah-blahā
- her āoh hey i recognize your voice, whatās up?ā
*what a relief* she recognizes my voice
- me āuhmm whatās up, you tell me whatās up, I am in your hood, what are you doing?ā
- her āI am having an early nightāĀ
- me ājeez an early night why, it is Fridayā
- her āI am going to school tomorrowā
- me āand what time will you come back from schoolā
- me ādamn it is not an option for me to ask you out tonightā
- her āI know right, but i can see you when i come backā
- meĀ āmaybe not I might leave before you come backā
- herĀ āwell if i do not, i will see you in Alex, i exchange my taxi there everyday fro/ to workā
- me āalright then goodniteā
- herĀ āgoodnite, do not drink too muchā
end the call back to drinking, we drank through out the night/ i do not know what time i went to sleep...
Saturday came, I am hang over, the time is after 9am, we still have a few beers in the fridge/ I am contemplating whether to have one or not, I eventually do not have any/ we decide to braai as always when one is having a braai, you start with the chicken when the chicken was done only then did i have a drink/ vodka + Windhoek draught = time flies/ before you know it was after 5pm and i have not had a bath so i take one quick and decided i will spend another night there since my friend said his girlfriend is not coming
Since i am here one more night why not give her a call and try to hook up... ring...ring a lovely and sweet tone answered āhi thereā/ āhey what are you up to?ā/Ā ānothingā/ āhey i decided to spend another night here so can we meetā/ āyeah sure, we can meet where the taxi dropped usā/ āokay, letās, provided that i do not get lostā/ laughter came after that followed by letās meet in 5 minutes
I told my friend the story and he gave me directions to get there/ i got there before she did/ i felt like going in for a hug but i held myself, i just smiled and spoke as if we had known each other for years/ we get to my friendās place, i introduce her, she blends in/ all is well, we drank, we chat, we laughed and we flirted/ time flies whilst we doing all of this, my friend decide we should wild out for the night and go to the casinoĀ
