JUST KEEPING IT CONFIDENTIAL

I'm back to work and Miriam reported back to school to join her friend as they await the form four mock exams. I have come to accept the reality that I had breached one of the values that I had vowed to protect six months ago when Doris accepted my romantic proposal.
I had promised to be there for her only.

Those were words. They could not withstand the serious temptations that a wily Miriam threw at me. I crumbled under the little pressure that Miriam applied to me and I found out the hard way (or is it sweet way?) that I am only human. I am no Jesus who withstood the temptations that the devil gave him.

Come to think of it. My spirit was that willing but not my flesh. It reminded me of the quote in the bible where the spirit was willing but the flesh is weak. But I took consolation at Miriam's words where she vowed to keep the whole thing under wraps. She won't tell her friend and so will I.
"Rasta, why are you this low?"
"Nothing. Just tired."
"You watched Fall into temptation?"
"Yeah."

As long as we keep the game going

I had to lie to Tom just to avoid the line of questioning which today I found it annoying. Tom couldn't  read the signs. Felix came into the fray and dropped the dreaded bombshell.
"Ule dem alisema?"
"Dem mgani?"
"Miriam. Si niliwacheki mkiwa town jana."
Holy shit. What in the name of heaven was that? Now Felix knew what we did or did someone squeal it out to him?"
"We just met. Nilimwacha town."

Thankfully, the topic died. I was relieved that no one noticed her or me or us together. We were careful not to alert anyone of our presence and that was why I had to rent a room in town just for the night where we had our night of sweet fun.. 
I don't plan to let it out to anyone about this. This is a secret that I  intend to keep it hidden as long as it would take. Miriam had also promised to let me know some of Doris' secrets but on the condition that we keep the game going on.
