We get to Ejay's car and drive back to the club. I take a look in the driver's mirror to confirm my look. I look just as I thought—horrible. The eye blinks are not doing any justice to my red eyes. I can't even tell what time I slept last night, but I am sure I did not sleep for more than three hours. I even have a headache. The monkey beside me is holding my hand to comfort me, as if it is helping. The truth is, I still want to cry. I do not know how much crying is enough for Nora; all I know is that I have not cried enough.

We drive through the gate, and today, Ejay is not even greeting his goons, as if he is affected one bit by Nora's death. I very well know that it means nothing to him, so he should cut the acting. It does not suit him. Getting out of the car, he holds my hand, and we walk inside the club. I don't know where they take the dead bodies, because when I asked Ejay what would happen to her body, he said they would take care of it. I don't know what that means. Do they

  • RESCUED BY THE DON'S BROTHER   THE ARRIVAL TO MOMBASA

    The flight attendant announces that we are landing, and we all stop chatting and hold on to our seats. For someone like me who just bonded on a flight for the first time, as far as I know, I hold on really tight. I am even shaking in my seat. I remember almost screaming when the plane took off at the airport. I adjust my seat belt, swallowing the fear, and hold on tight to my seat, closing my eyes and only opening them when the plane touches the ground. I breathe out a heavy sigh and relax. I hope I will have more chances to fly so that I can get used to this. Standing outside the plane with my bag at the airport in Mombasa, I must say I love this feeling of being in a new place. Everything looks new; even the evening air I am breathing right now feels new. I feel fresh. I feel free. I feel reborn. It's like I am not the same Gia I was before I bonded with the plain. I love this feeling. I love this Gia Wilson that is standing at the airport right now."So, we can get one cap? I think

  • RESCUED BY THE DON'S BROTHER   THE FIRST SHOW

    I did great shopping yesterday at the mall and made sure to pick the best dresses. The price was so pocket-friendly compared to Nairobi, which enticed me to buy more than I had planned. Not that money is a problem for me because my account is loaded, but you know that feeling when you go shopping and you find the prices are much lower than you expected? You end up buying more than you had planned to. That, coupled with the freedom of being able to walk around without being watched, got the better of me. I came back with huge shopping bags weighing me down. With everything that I bought, the dresses, both medium-length and floral gowns, the shoes and inner wear, and some shorts and light tops to wear when we are not in the show, I will not need to use this trash that came from Ejay anymore. I won't be stinking at him. I might as well throw them away in the dustbin. Nkt! We are having breakfast at this hotel with my boys, I mean, my companions, and Jimmy is still insistent about having

  • RESCUED BY THE DON'S BROTHER   THE GOD OF SEA

    It's really frustrating when you have nothing to do to kill time, huh? No one to chat with physicality or even on the phone. What a life I have! Nobody would like a life like the one I am living. I just had my breakfast a while ago, and now I am all cooked up in my room, wondering what to do until four in the evening. I thought I would spend some time with Nick preparing the song we agreed to do together, but he had to push that to tomorrow because he wanted to have some alone time with his girlfriend today, which I totally understand. About these other two, Tim and Jimmy, the kings of women, well, I don't fit in their group, so I didn't even care to ask about their plans for the day. It's not like I would ask to tag along with them to the clubs.I take a shower, pondering what to do. I would have chosen to sit in front of my laptop and read a few emails or comments from my fans, but I have been avoiding that lately. What if there is a family member or friend out there who has contact

    He smiles. Damn that smile! He might as well be the god of the sea. I lift my hand slowly from the water, where I am almost fully buried, to his face to confirm whether he is really a human. He didn't move an inch; he just stood still until our flesh came into contact. He is fresh. He is still dripping wet, but he is so hot. Talk of people with exemplary, amazing looks! He is a beauty god. And these lips, oh shieet! They are so tempting. He is all together tempting. Why do you look so sweet, Mr. Stranger? I would like to know how it would feel to be kissed by these beautiful lips. What would the kiss taste like? Honey? Chocolate? Vanilla? And how would it feel?As if driven by a spirit, I lean in, and in, and in, until there is no gap left between our lips anymore. That contact between our lips makes me want to melt. His warm breath sent electric waves all over my body. I brush his lips with mine. So soft. My hands stretch to his body, landing on his stomach, and they freely move to h

    "Don't worry. Your secrets will be safe with me. I won't tell a soul. And I won't judge you, whatever the problem is. So, come on?" He adds insistently."Supposing you are in a cage with a lion guarding you, and you want to leave the cage and seek freedom, but the lion won't let you leave. You are determined to leave the cage. Would you fight the lion inside the cage, or would you rather trick it to allow you to go out, then wait to fight it outside after it comes looking for you?" I ask."Unless I have a gun with me and enough bullets to kill the lion, I would go with the second option. There is a high possibility I will become it's prey if I choose to fight it inside the cage. Unlike outside, inside the cage there is no place to hide and no weapons either. You can't fight a lion with your bare hands. It will overpower you. It will kill you and feed on you.""Right. Thank you.""You are welcome. And cheer up! I am sure you will get out of that cage. I want you out." He wraps his hand

    If I had never been crazy before, now I am. But if I was at any point crazy, I think now I am going insane. If not madness, how can I be missing someone I know nothing about? Someone I mingled with for less than an hour, and now all I can think of is how to meet him again? I wanted to see him, but he vanished.That day, I went back to my room with a smile on my face. I was jovial the whole day, just because of him. Just remembering his face, his smile, or his weird name, a smile automatically shows on my face. At night, I remained awake for the better part of it, thinking of my beauty god. When I woke up yesterday morning, his smile was still fresh in my mind. His last words as he drove off that day were and still are like a song in my mind. He is so stuck in my mind. He said we would meet again—that too, sooner than I thought. My crazy self thought that maybe he thought I always went to the sea. Maybe he thought he would run into me there again. I did not want to crush his expectatio

    Dark brown eyes, same lips that I kissed back in the sea. This curly hair is what I saw back inside the hall. So it was him? I am, after all, not hallucinating about him. Same looks, some confidence, same aura. Thanks to the light shining above us in this corridor, I can see his gorgeous features perfectly. Even at night, he is still no less handsome."Hi." He greets me, walking to me with his hands in his blue jeans. Oh, so we even wore matching colors. What a coincidence!"Hi." I open my mouth before I look like a fool again."We meet again."Yes, we indeed met again after you made me go through the hell of looking for you as if you were my life."Aah, well, yes. What are you doing here?" I ask."I am one of the sponsors of this event, and so I had to come and see if my contribution was worthy." He says it so nonchalantly.he is? He must be filthy rich."And is it?" I ask."It definitely is. I have no regrets so far. I love people who are passionate about what they do. And the energ
