Episode 20

It was still early and we had awaken early because of the excitement. We still had hours before Ms Jere would take us to the saloon. The competition was starting at 18 hours that evening so we still had time.

Walking outside, I saw Jay seated in the garden chair leaning back and facing the sky like he was in deep thoughts
” hey early Bird!” I called out as I walked towards him.

He turned sharply looking my direction.
” Tracy” he said with a sigh like he was disappointed seeing me.
” yeah you expecting to see someone else?” I mocked him.
” No, am just surprised you are up. It’s still early you should be with your friends inside.”
Jay told me still in his same posture.
” well I couldn’t sleep any more and needed to have some fresh air out here. Am just wondering why you are out here all alone ” I paced around like a small girl seeking for attention.
” am mostly alone. That’s me ” he smiled and I kept my eyes at his face.
” no offence, but I need to be alone now” he murmered
” none taken Dear” I said feeling hurt by his not paying attention to me.
I went back inside to join the others fighting the urge to defile his request and stay outside with him.

JAY…………
I couldnt sleep. I kept on figiting in my bed that night and before 06 am I was up.
I took a quick bath and went to sit outside. I couldnt stay in anymore. I felt so nervous and the images of Ms Jere were not fading from my mind.
” what is wrong with me?” I asked myself as I leaned back in the chair.
” am not supposed to be thinking about a woman who was older than me even when I knew it was only by 2 years, she still was older and to make matters more complicated, my teacher.”

I had never had any formal girlfriend as in some kind of relationship so I wouldnt say I was in love cause I surely didn’t know what love was.

I was lost in thoughts when Tracy called me out.

For a moment my mind played me and I heard Ms Jere’s voice, but when I turned to the direct ion of the voice I almost frowned seeing Tracy smiling as she got closer.

She somehow noticed my disappointment seeing her there but I didn’t bother to act any better. instead I asked her to leave excusing myself for wanting some lone time.
I had hoped Ms Jere would come out at some point probably in her pyjamas but my dream didn’t come true as I realised it was time for the barber shop after staying out for some time.

We were seated in the conference centre at 17: 30 after we were registered. The girls looked so good in their cocktail dresses and their hair done. My attention went to my partner Tracy who looked exceptionally stunning. Her pink silk dress falling on her body to her feet and a long slit in the front. An appropriate dress for the first dance which was called Paso Doble..

She smiled at me and I flashed back a smile at her but I instantly turned away my attention when Ms Jere emerged walking in her red heels towards us.

She wore a short velvet black dress with a silver neck chain that outlined her open chest above the cleavage. Her silver purse glittered on her right hand matching with the neck chain and the wrist watch on the other hand.
I couldn’t hold it anymore, like an idiot I walked to her and welcomed her.
” wow! You look exceptionally beautiful this evening Ms.” I recommended her bowing my head towards her and she flashed me her captivating smile.

” Thank you Mr Zimba” she bow her head a bit, teasing me back.

That evening we were called to the dance floor and we all did our best dancing gracefully pleasing the judges. We now had to wait until the following night when we were to do the last two dances which included salsa.

We were taken back to the lodge as the group was filled with excitment. Even when we knew we were to be awarded as couples we all remained optimistic one or two couples from our group was going to be picked.

Everyone left to their rooms but I walked out after removing my Jacket and remained with my shirt with loosened buttons.

I had to see her one more time and before I could talk myself out of it, I walked to her room knocking softly at her door without hesitation.

” hey, what are you doing here?” Ms Jere asked looking outside. I wasn’t sure if she wanted to see if I was with someone or she was afraid of someone seeing me knocking at her door late at night.

” I, I, I came to see you for something can I come In?” I asked

” Yeah sure” she sighed opening the door to allow me in.

She had removed her shoes but was still in her dress, now I could see her a shoulder shorter than me.

” I came to ask what you discussed with my father since you didn’t give me an answer yesterday, I started not knowing how to explain my going to see her.

“Mnmmm that’s strange cause I don’t recall saying I would tell you that” she answered standing in front of me as I held my hands nervously.
” yeah I know, but I thought you could tell me ”
She let a laugh. “No I won’t, forget it”
She was still laughing and I lost it, I went straight at her holding her by her shoulders and pulled her closer to me.

Without warning, I bent down and landed my lips on her crimson red lips…..
