IS THIS A TRAP?

Even as the news bulletin runs on on my small television set, I am still shocked after Miriam unexpectedly showed up at my crib. She has just left her phone and is yet to come back. Probably she must be held up doing something crazy. Who knows?

I have never felt this scared before. Not since the day I was among the group of initiates who were being lined up for the ritual cut on a cold night near the river side. Not since I was almost caught with Doris when her father almost found out on our affair three weeks ago when we went to visit an ailing Susan.

Now she came after her friend was already back at school preparing for the mock exams that would start on Monday. What was she up to?
"Wow! Si ni baridi huko nje?"
She came inside wearing her jeans but a top which I recognized as Doris since it was the one she wore when we first met back in January.
Since I didn't have seats, she took one close to me on my bed. She wasn't that interested in the news since according to her, it was full of the same old shit just different days.

Courtesy.

Her weird proposal

But it was her proposal that really made me very suspicious of her motives.

"Imagine she left for school."
"Oh. I didn't know about it. In fact I was expecting her to come."
"Pole Tony. But she didn't tell you that her father wanted her back immediately."
"She sent you?"
"Ummm. Yeah,"

I tried to make her talk about Martins but she was obstinate and stalled on the topic. Come nine, she left for the washrooms that were outside and came back after a short while. She made her way to my position.

"Rasta, I have an offer to make." She then made a stunning proposal to me that we should have sex with her just to help her out of the cold dry spell she has been experiencing since she broke up with Martin last month. 

What if she knows about it?

"What about Doris? If she knows about this?"
"She won't. You can still be her boyfriend and my fuckmate at the same time. Come on, Its nothing serious you know."

She sounded convincing but I wasn't convinced yet. Could she be working in cahoots with Susan? She could be treacherous like in the case of Martins. As I ponder about this, the door has opened and she is back. This time she looks even more seductive in a different outfit.....

Find out tomorrow.
