GABRIELLE UNION
Hey!! Don't Judge me! "If I was so happy with charming, how come there was Gabrielle Union?!" Charming and I were amazing together, we had a lovely time together.. But we grew apart. From distance, to time.. It was a lot of strain to get back from.
See, after my amazing time with charming, I had this... Confidence around me.. This vibe (I'm avoiding using the word 'charm' so it doesn't sound like a cliche) around me that boosted my self esteem.. I was bolder, stronger... and sexier..
It was like a high. And guys, there's only one thing I know ladies have in common with dogs; they can sense your confidence, and it's attractive.
Gabrielle Union didn't just "pop" up like that however, she has been a family friend too.. We grew up as kids together till life took us far apart.. And brought us closer once again. Infact I have a memory of when I was small that I picked up a blade and cut across my palm to prove to her I'd do anything for her. (Talk about 'mumu button' Huh?)
On getting in touch back with her, we began talking as usual, caught up on about a decade of absence between us. Found out she was attending some other prestigious university also... By this time, Steve jobs had done his thing and iPods were in vogue (but you know me naa, that was the time I was still rocking MP3s of all colors and sizes).
For what I can remember that led to our first kiss, we had finished the church program and were both waiting for our parents to be done from their workers meeting and such. Gabrielle and I decided to wait together, she had these amazing younger brother and sisters that were always scampering around her anywhere she was.
I was to go back to school that afternoon; I'd meet my pops at home and he'd take me there. So Gabrielle and I got to talking, playing with the younger ones and all till I felt it was getting too late. See, I could go home myself; but waiting for my mum was the only excuse I had to spend time with the beautiful young lady. Trust me, she was as beautiful as Gabrielle Union.
I told her it was time I'd left, but she convinced me to wait a little more. After a while, I told her I really had to go, still she begged I didn't leave her. I stayed longer, enjoying her company and not really wanting to go infact. She was a kinda person that got under your skin and made you feel good in all the right places just but talking to you or being around you.
Then responsibility set in, an I had to leave immediately or I wouldn't make school again. I stood up I began to walk away, she called out to me but I didn't turn back knowing if I did, I would not have been able to resist.
Then she began to diss me and call me names, telling I could go if I wanted, she didn't need me anyway. I smiled and turned back.
I walked up to her n she started smiling. But when I got close to her, I picked up my sermon note pad I forgot and whispered good bye. Feeling like a boss having played my trump card I started walking away again. Hehehehe, "woman no get my power naa".
But Gabrielle Union wasn't giving up that easily.. She walked up to me, held me by my collar and planted a deep kiss on my lips. (O_o). She eased up on my shirt, adjusted it and told me I could go.
"Okay, that happened" I said to myself.
"Oya, let's keep on going"...
But my feet would not move.
"Ahan, turn naa, let's go" but my feet didn't listen...
Then my body said to my brain, "go where?"
My brain stuttered "I don't know either"
I felt like a pillar of salt, I couldn't move. Gabrielle looked over at me, and smiled "aren't you going anymore?" I stupidly asked her "go where?"
I could waste ink and complete this chapter, but you can already predict the end; I did not go to school that day.
You see, this was my second ever kiss in my life and I know I was too early to judge, but it was really amazing. Eventually we both went to school and didn't get to meet for a while.
Gabrielle Union also lived far away from where I stayed, so it was impossible to just drop by to say hi.
During the holidays, we planned I'd come see her at home after leaving (my holiday) work really early one Tuesday. I recall that day, because that was the first time I got a salary. I spread out my salary in a novel I was currently reading (the trial- by Robert Whitlow) I picked up my MP3 and headed to somewhere I had never been.
After getting lost twice, and dropping from three wrong buses, I eventually got to her door step. It was genuinely awesome seeing an old friend once again. But we had to exhaustingly rekindle whatever we had in our minds. Besides, her siblings were home!!!
I was served a good lunch and we sat down and talked like civilized people. Her siblings kept making noise about till she couldn't take it anymore and sent them out to play with the neighbors. I was happy.
We had the entire house to ourselves. But the atmospheres still wasn't right. We washed plates together, did motor chores (that didn't need to be done). we joked about n all just trying to set the mood.. Eventually, she hit me on my back amidst our play and I fondled with her pretending to get my revenge. I pinned both her hands on the couch mounting atop her with both of us finally face to face.
"This is it dude!" I said to myself "kiss her!". I leaned in a planted a kiss on her sweet, warm lips... But they were not warm... They were cold... It didn't feel right. I pulled back and I saw her.. Just looking at me....
She wasn't dead ooo... Don't jump into conclusions. She just wasn't approving. See, when you kiss a girl and her lips are cold, the implies she disapproves it means you should not have done so.. She had no intention of kissing you.
I immediately pulled away, briefly apologized, and sat upright. Embarrassment flooding in like a sinking ship. My morale dropping quicker than I could breathe.. I sat there looking away like someone who pooped his pants in public.
Regrets welled up in me as I began to apologize again. "I sorry, I didn't mean to...." Before I could finish my sentence, she cupped my face and pulled it close to hers, she planted the best kiss I've ever had that got chills running down my spine even as I write about it now! The she pulled away laughed out loud and continued kissing me!
Every kiss was amazing, it felt new each and every time, my heaven and earth collided with every contact, Gabrielle blew my mind!!! I had to respond in anyway possible as I held her tight and lifted her to my laps, she sat on me like I was made for only her, and I had no complaints, I was ready to serve her like a slave.
'Thump' 'thump' 'thump' that was the door. Her junior brother was back, she quickly got off me, I couldn't believe what was happening, she tried to answer the door when I stopped her. I walked over to the door, opened it slightly and looked at her brother with crazy eyes "go back to wherever you're coming from Sam!!" "But I'm bored..." "Take my MP3 and go and play with it anywhere but here!!!" I shoved the music player into his hands and closed the door even before he could say thank you.
I walked towards Gabrielle Union as she sat there laughing... She looked like a goddess, with her legs curled up right under her. I carried her off the chair as easily as picking up a remote, she was so light as she kissed me passionately amidst her giggles. Damn! She was the best kiss I ever had.
I was about to move on to second base before we heard the gate again and this time, she freaked out
