BEAUTY PROBLEMS episode 4

Goldie’s right thumb scratched at something under his chin near the neck. “I can’t believe I haven’t known her full name yet”, he muttered and clenched the keys harder. He had found her exactly where she was said to be at that time. She might have been more engaged by the Telenovela on Bukedde but he had approached her towards the end of the episode so it could not have been that. Somehow, none of the other girls were in the common room at the time and he had baffled at his luck.

He slowly turned and walked to the entrance and made to sign out of the visitor’s book.

“Is vel ot diz day” the female askari said in an accent that faithfully represented a dialect that had annihilated a number of syllables.

“Hot, ahh”, he said, clearly uninterested but just then his common sense got the better of him and he reached for his wallet and slid a brand new twenty shilling note in the drawer beyond the knees of the askari.

“Sencyu, offisaaaaaaaa,..eh…u’ve finis wiz yo gal fwend?, ofisa, dis work is not easy, but sencyu…”, she rambled on with a huge smile that revealed yellow coatings arced with black lines near the red gum. He felt a pungent assault unleash on his nostrils causing a sudden mutiny in his stomach.

Goldie quickly thanked the askari and headed to the parking lot. “Bseveni should give you big job in his white house sir….,” He heard her voice trailing as he pressed the unlock button of his key bundle. ‪

BEAUTY PROBLEMS episode 3

“Rila…” Someone called out. He turned to the left and saw another girl coming down the stairs. She was fine though less endearing than “Ril…” He was yet to pick the name.

“Yes Tricai”, She responded picking on the accent attack cadenced by the incoming.

“Uhhm, sorry, didn’t realize you had company”, suddenly whispering but loud enough for him to hear, “ He’s hayt…hmmn, some!!” (wink) , “Hieya, handsome,” Tracy said, looking at Goldie who was not sure whether this was the perfect escape from the awkwardness or a foil to what could have possibly matured.

“Hi”, He said rather nonchalantly. The air that had earlier filled his chest had since dissolved in his cooling blood and he felt no better than a balloon hanging in a grocery store in Kabwohe a month before Christmas.

“ Uhm, maybe I should come laiers, Rila”, Tracy said. She turned the chewing gum to the left side and continued to cud.

“No babe, was waiting for you dtzur, let’s skip”, Rita switched off the common room TV and moved past Goldie to the corridor without as much as a glance at the fixture of the man.

Tracy followed at a more leisurely pace and let her shoulder rub Goldie’s upper arm slowly before she turned her head a slight arc and moved her right fingers in the air as if Pragmo playing a jazz line at Gattomato.

She blew a small ball of the gum before gathering it back beyond her red lined lips.

He returned the wave and watched the two girls disappear to their rooms.

BEAUTY PROBLEMS episode 2

The third time, her eyes lingered quite a bit on the section below his belt as if to suggest that his cerebrum had seeped through the spine and settled there momentarily or even longer, nonetheless enough to cause an imbalance of sorts.

He felt sharp pins prick at his legs and a small stream head to his shoes. He hoped too that her eyes did not notice the uncomfortable shift below his belt.

Not that he was aware of it and much less had he intended it, but his lower lip had on the right side receded in between his sparkling white dental and kept sliding on and off enjoying the slight pain.

For all the blankness of his creative abilities, he hoped there was an eject button somewhere beneath his shoes. An effective one, akin to Johnny English would be perfect to telepot him to some place in Bwaise or Katwe.

At least, if the ground was kind enough to lease a gaping hole in which to zap to safety. ‪

BEAUTY PROBLEMS episode 1

"Hey babe?", (chest slightly raised and voice thrust a little rougher)

"Hey, can I help you? ", (one eye raised shortly with a neutral twist of all other facial features) “ More than that, was wondering if you could…uhmm you know like spare a minute..” (Sheepish grin and voice further on the rough)

“ Say, thirty seconds left?”

“ Uhm, tough one, well ..uhmm like, could I get your number, coffee or just wondering when I could see you again when you are less busy…”

“ I do not see why that is necessary, now if you could excuse me”, “ I am a lawyer, uhmm I have a nice car, I also work with a big law firm in town, uhmm… a house? Yes , still renting but working on that…”, (mid sentence)

(Cutting him Short) “ I see, well, I do not work with KCCA, URA or Internal Affairs so I doubt you can register for any taxes or whatever it is they ask such information for”

“…Could I at least get to know your name, I am Goldie and did I say how beautiful you are?, Am not even sure whether I’ll ever regain the beat you just made me skip!!” (She Looks at him from hair follicle to shoe point) x2 ‪
