I remember sometime a long while ago.I woke up that morning and put on the television.It was about 5 o'clock and I was lucky to not be able to sleep normally,I say lucky cos on a "normal" day I would happily sleep till 10 o clock mininmum if my mama didn't decide that a bowl of cold water to my head would do me some "secret" good * I tried for a while to figure out what good is and I don't think I've quite figured out till this day.
Back to me being lucky,I was able to watch the television without being bullied to change the station to one that satisfied general interest *I lived in a family of 1O kids*
As I changed the stations,searching for one that had begun broadcast,this was at a time when 24 hour tlevision was unheard of unless your papa fit buy cable *this includes satellite tv,cable tv and all the rest* I
stumbled on finally got to the only station that had begun broadcast and there was some music programme going on and there was this song with some funnily and scantily dressed woman saying something in the lines of "horny honey,I'm horny horny honey tonight" and she kept trying to curly up and looked really depressed.I didn't get the song.
Today I do,he left after
he said he stared at me and just walked out and he never even turned back to look at me or did he?
It's been three months and I really do miss him,
a part parts of my body yearns for him.
*******************************************************************
I had just gotten admission into secondary school and I had gone over to his place to let him know about it.
His name was Dany and so was mine and they said we were namesakes so that meant we had to be more considerate for each other more that all of our other friends.
I met him coming out of his room and he turned back and signaled to me to come in.As I walked in he pulled my hand from where he was hid behind the door and everything happened so fast that before I new what was happening he had said "let me show you something" and had begun showing me how his lips could touch mine.
The way he did it was so innocent,he just had his lips touching mine slightly and he was moving his head in a sinusodial pattern,he was so funny I burts out laughing
"What's funny? ",he said,
"You need to see yourself",I replied "what were you trying to do?"
"I saw Mr Bode and a woman doing the same thing and it seemed they were having fun so I decided to try"
"Maybe you're not doing it well",I suggested "Let's try again"
Thus began our "relationship" that would have us being special friends till the day I met Tunde.
I had never been close to anyother person than Dany,everyother person I knew was either scared of me or was family.But Tunde wasn't scared at all,I think he even made me scared sometimes.We had this converstaion one day;
"How do you know that guy?",he asked,
"You mean Dany?",I said,
"His name is Dany???...ok"
"Why you talking that way?"
"Nothing,just wondering"
"Wondering what?" I asked anxiously
"But he's so ugly,what are you doing with someone like that?" he blurted
For a moment I was shocked and then I took a closer look at my retreating name-sake
and just then he turned and I saw for the first time that my "friend" wasn't exactly the prettiest of boys.From that day on,I began to see Dany lesser and lesser.Those times when he would try to hug me,or even touch me,I began to look for ways to evade those advances and from then on we stopped having those special "touching bodies moments".
I don't know what came over me,maybe the fact that Tunde was a really foiine boy or maybe the fact that he was wy more stylish than my Dany,me ex-Dany.I just can't say or maybe it was because I caught more boys staring at me than before ever since I became friends with Tunde,I just don't know
One day Dany came up to me and he said with his silly smile on his face,
"How's your boyfriend,Tunde?"
I snapped at him "Did you think I would be your girlfriend you ugly duckling,I feel so disgusted that I ever let you touch me,you sick..."
I heard the door slam shut,I had been blinded by fury,I didn't hear him walk out,I didn't even see him go.I ran to the window and saw him turn back at that moment with the sadest look ever and that smile that always lit his face wasn't there anymore and he really did look ugly,ugly but then what is ugly anyways?
It's been three months now,and I'm curled up in the same way as that woman in that video I saw couple of years back and I think I know what she meant
"horny honey,I'm horny horny honey tonight"I need my Dany back,I need him back.
