Crazy mother VS Ethiopian flight attendant

 Airports I tell you.

I never thought my life was dun good till I finished a stressful project in Lusaka, ended a fling I had with a guy who …get this …doesn’t answer to anyone.

But screw that…where was I…yeah

Seated at the Addis Airport minding my own business after staring too hard at this god of a man who spoke French…and his gorgeous daughter…I overheard some weird sounds.

You’ve watched Nollywood movies. You know before they say abeg there is always this sound they make. The one that captures everyone's attention. You know it right? Now imagine that sound with a high pitched mom voice (the one my mom makes before she says…”munataka kuniua’)

This lady believe it or not was waving her 5-month-old son back and forth shouting and causing a commotion. Now the airport is more of a …let me find my terminal, sit and mind my MF business... sort of a place.

 So the more we ignored and went our merry way…the louder she got. 

I was thinking to myself tone it down a little. The poor Ethiopian attendant was having the worst day of his career. I could tell cause his vein was popping out and deep inside he was like shut the F up… (just deep down) cause you know ‘the customer is always right.'

Being the Kenyan that I am, I was trying to mind my own business but… the woman in me was like biach, please. Not today.

 I shut my laptop and gave my undivided attention to this woman. How she screamed and made meaningful complete sentences was beyond my comprehension. All I saw was the baby being moved back and forth and finally landing on grandma’s safe arms.

My thoughts were where are child services when you need one. But who am I kidding? If they never showed up during Hitler’s (aka my mom) brutal punishment, they never will show up here.

Anyways, I'll keep you posted on who won.

Man or attendant

Slept with a married man...now am ducked.

I knew I wanted you in me the first time I saw you. Not sure what it was that drew me closer to you.

Maybe the height or the fact… that you woke up and hugged me a bit tight…Or maybe the fact that I intentionally didn’t put on my spectacles so that you’d see me first and I’d get disappointed last.

The minute you said hello and pulled up the chair for me

Made my body yarn for you. I knew I wanted you but didn’t know why. The fact that I was a bit distracted didn’t bother you. You came prepared so just sat next to me and not across.  I could tell that you were looking at me and trying to make the moments last a little longer than they should have.

I said 5 minutes and I’d know.

Whether I liked you or not. But boy my blood was boiling and all I wanted was for…. 

You to go. (you know what I mean).💋

But you wanted us to watch a movie… I always do that alone or with the kids. That’s one of my safe heavens and you wanted to fuck it up. But something was a miss… a bit off. But I couldn’t stick to my NO… so you tagged along.

Am

Worried that reality will kick in… cause for now it’s just a fairytale I love. Knowing that you’ve had you’re every first with her… and you denying me mine. Makes me get upset cause I know am wrong. 

Sleeping with one that’s not and will not be mine.  Means, I need to let go and not turn back. I need to stop this yarning for you… cause I’ve had you but why isn’t that enough? 

Maybe it’s the fact that I know

That I’ll have to leave you and go back to being on my own.

And you'll have to go back to them...your own.
