Chapter Twelve We walked down the river to a quiet place where we could catch the fish peacefully. I could see there were other people also catching fish, others on canals, some on boats and others just on the side of the river. “Hey how much for the worms” I asked. “It all depends on how much of it you want” the boy said. He was in his mid teenage wearing a blue overall with gum boots and a weird haircut. Before him was a bucket full of worms. “So, how much is that cup?” I continued. “It's $15 for this one and $25 for this other one. So which one should I give you?” he asked. “Guys, which one should we get?” I asked. “I think the one for $15 will do” Angel said. “No man let’s just get the one for $25, I think it will be  enough” Warren said. “Yeah that’s true” Bruce said. “Alright, $25 it is” I said. “Here you go. Though you guys look like you have never done this b

Chapter Fourteen Quickly, auntie Veronica came over to where we were standing, holding a blue bucket with water and knives in it. She put down the bucket and gave us the knives.''Buy the way your ladies have gone on a Safari boat'' she said. ''Alright, thanks ma'am''. Warren said. ''And how was it sir?, Did you enjoy fishing? she said looking at me with a smile.I had no choice but to grin back at her and said nothing but nodded my head. ''Well that's nice to know. Incase you need anything you know where to find me'' she said and turned walking away..Before she could reach very far I realized I had not shown any respect towards her by nodding in response to her question.''Uh... Ma'am do you have an idea what time they could be coming back. I mean the... The girls?'' I asked with a different intonation.''I think in 15mins or so they should be here'' she said. ''Alr

Chapter SixteenFinally, we were done cleaning the fish and by then the braai stand was already blazing. We all joined hand in hand in grilling the fish. The woman came through with the beer in a bucket full of ice cubes and we began imbibing.“Hey guys do you remember the after party gradation ceremony of our secondary school?” Warren asked.“Hell no don’t even think about bringing that story up” Angel came in.“Why don’t you wanna talk about it. It was funny wasn’t it?” I said.“Go to hell” he said.“Man what was going through your mind that night?” Bruce asked.“I wanted to impress my crush not knowing I am embarrassing myself” he said.“That was humiliating man” I said.“You would found another way of impressing her not diving in the pool” Bruce said.“You know the problem I

Chapter Eighteen''Oh yeah, thanks'' she said in a nervous voice as she sat on a single seated.“You are welcome madame” I said.I sat on a couch opposite her so that I could continue staring at her and admiring her beauty. I looked at her face thoroughly and paying so much detail to her facial expressions. Her eyes were fixed primarily on the TV watching the sports highlights. She sat with her legs crossed and holding her handbag on top of her thighs and looking around the room.“Its not quite bad, isn’t it?” I said with a wryly on my face.“Ah um its okay I like it” she responded and cleared her throat.“How come I don’t feel like you do?” I said.“Oh really? I think your instincts have failed you” she replied.“Wow! I didn’t see that coming, but I trust my instincts more than anything” I said.“Good to know

Chapter TwentyMy alarm woke me up. Quickly got to my feet and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. Smiles written all over my face because I had the best weekend ever. Got out of the shower, dressed up and almost forgetting to have my breakfast, went down the stairs and realized there was still time for me to even have a perfect breakfast. I went back up stairs to my apartment, had my breakfast and headed for work with all smiles and happiness written all over my face.I reached at the office early than usual. The janitor was surprised to see me because I had to wait a couple of minutes for her to finish cleaning up the office. I was even earlier than my secretary, indeed love is a beautiful thing. Who knew I would be madly in love within a space of seventy two hours.“Good morning madame Gwen?” I said to the lady who was cleaning my office.She was wearing a light blue overalls and black gumboots. On her head she had a
