Honey Pot

“I just want to tell you all the things you are and all the things you mean...…….You are the answer to my prayer, you are with me everywhere; you are my angel; my miracle; you are all I need tonight, you are my angel.”  The song blurred out loudly and she danced to it smiling at him whilst she sang along. Her waist wriggled and she did those moves mystically turning her back once in a while. Gaud, she looked like a real dancer, she didn’t sit down until the entire Lionel Richie’s ‘angel’ finished playing.

She collapsed on him; sitting on his lap; she held his head in between both hands. Then she pulled his cheeks on both sides, kissed his right cheek and took her seat beside him. She took a sip of her wine and he watched her in complete disbelief. This girl was something else. If he didn’t know her, he would have said she was drunk on the wine. The song ‘Angel’ by Lionel Richie began to play again, the D.J probably decided to do a replay. This time it wasn’t only Sally who jumped up to dance. Half of the people inside the lounge danced along to the song as well.Again, Sally wriggled her waist, shook her butts, lifted her hands and danced like no man’s business. Her hair flowing just a little bit beneath her shoulder, she stood in front of kojo dancing and smiling at him. Kojo was amazed at the thunderous applause the D.J received once the song had finished playing. It had not only been a favourite in the past. It was still a must dance to even now.

Sally came back to sit beside Kojo. He smiled and shook his head in complete disbelief. What a girl! She was always perky. “A kiss for you Sweetness”; she said, and gave him a quick peck on his left cheek. She held his arm and put her left hand through his arm closing in on the little space between them, leaning herself against him.‘What are you thinking about?’ She asked him. He shook his head. “Don’t say anything”, she said again. She held on close to his arm. He dared not touch her, lest she backed off to sit by herself. He kept his cool, and then she disengaged her arm and took another sip of her drink. It was time to take her home Kojo thought. He took a glance at his watch, it was half past midnight. After another sip of his drink, they both agreed to go home.Sally engaged Kojo in a conversation whilst he drove.

In less than fifteen minutes; they were in   front   of her house; at her gate.  Again, sassy Sally was smiling and chatting happily. He   got   out of the car to open the door for her; she jumped on him engaging him in a long hug. He could smell her perfume. Queen Latifah, a fragrance he had become used to smelling these days. Each time he left her; he could still smell her; Sally. Still hugging him, he disengaged himself lest she begun to say it was too long a hug. She pulled him closer, not wanting to let go of him. Again, he would have blamed her utterances on the fact that she was drunk on white wine but no, Sally’s mind worked perfectly even when he thought she was drunk. She raked her palm through his hair, down his neck and locked her two arms around his neck. This time with her eyes looking into his, she said;'goodnight' brushing her lips against his.  “Let’s talk when you get home”, she said. “Sure dear”.

Kojo watched her walk a step or two to the gate, she opened it and he could see her long cute legs. Even in kitten heels they looked quite beautiful. He waited for her to enter and went back to sit in the driver’s seat. He drove off to his own house thinking of nothing and no one but Sally. Sally the girl who had been driving him nuts for the past nine months.  Sometimes he even wondered what it was he still saw her for. Sally was like a complicated machine he could never get around even after studying the user guide several times. Unfortunately, in his case, she was no machine and there was absolutely no manual to her though he wished there was. The drive home had been quite short. He had been completely unaware of the route he had used. He obviously made it home because he could find his way home even with his eyes closed from Sally’s place he thought.

Once he got home, he took a quick shower and went to get himself some water to drink. The whole house was quiet, sometimes he hated the quietness in his own home and wished he had not left his parents house until he was ready to get married. He had to call Sally. When he did, she answered; “He-llo”, she sounded warm and sweet to him. They  stayed on the phone for an hour and twelve minutes before saying goodnight to each other. Kojo struggled to sleep thinking about Sally. He really wanted to marry that girl badly but the girl was such an activity for him. He could never really bring her to accept to date him completely, not with her attitude. She was nice and warm, leading him on sometimes and withdrawing at the final hour. Sometimes, his friends teased him about her attitude. She was never rude to him but he could never tell the way forward with a girl like her. He could never say they were going out, neither could he say they were not.  She seemed to know the game so well and was always on top of her game. Sustaining his interest in her by, giving him little or no hope or a lot of hope at other times. It felt like being with the devil.

He could never predict her, yet each time she came up with something new. The sorts of girl who raised hopes and never made you lose it yet, never really fulfilling it. Making you feel completely lost. He tried to get some sleep. He needed to, he had to. Though Sally was quite a mystery to him, he must admit he never regretted knowing her. She had him like an addict stuck and addicted. Kojo did not know where it would lead next but he was determined to hang in there. Waiting, doing his best to be the friend she wanted in him. Just then, his phone beeped. When he picked it up, it was a txt message. It was from Sally. He was expecting her to be drifting off to sleep by now whilst he struggled to get some sleep too. He viewed it to read;                              
        “I have had lots of friends give me    flowers, 
I have had lots of people take me out for a drink,                               
  I have been friends with lots of guys but,  
The most beautiful flowers I have ever received were from you.                               
  The best drink I have ever had was with you and you are the jewel                      
amongst all my male friends.                       
I don’t think I can live a day without you,         Ask me why,                               
I’m addicted to you.                              
Thank you so much for the show of love,           and yes I would be your girlfriend,                    Yes I would marry you! xoxo

Kojo blinked twice and read the txt message again. It was real, Sally had sent it. She had summed up all he had ever meant to her. Exactly the way he was feeling about her too.  “I feel you Sally”, he screamed out loud. He remembered then that the entire neighbourhood was asleep, it was quiet and so he could be disturbing them. Sally had made him the happiest man tonight, his joy knew no description. She had him fixated for so long. He had waited for so long, over a year for this to happen. She had been his honey pot for nine months and he was sure she would be for the rest of his stay here on planet earth.
