Chapter 33Being on a road for three hours, in the company of strangers sometime have it’s interesting and knockout surprises, Sergio realises as he now stares down at a ridiculously large tool in the hands of Sylvi, the woman in the passenger seat of his Cruiser truck. Poor little Sergie is just a shadow of that thing.Even though Sergio knows that by normal standards he is… a little more than just normal. After sizing it up he brought his eyes back to the road in front of him.“Touch it,” Sylvi insists and presses it against Sergio’s hand on the steering wheel. “It is so realistic. Even the scrotum at the bottom. The only thing that makes it look artificial is the fact that there is no hair.”Sergio takes his hand away in disgust. “I am not touching that thing.”“Why not? You are after all a vet. Haven’t you ever done artificial insemination?”“Of course I did. On animals.”“Oh, I keep forgetting, you are a vet, not a physician of man!” Then she presses a button and Bob starts brrrr
Hoofstuk 32Who wants to be a millionaire? Not me! I just want to live through the situation. Leah feels herself slowly but surely starting to get hysterical. In her head, she hears? Are you going to do something? Are you going to guess? Or are you going to phone a friend?Friend, what friend? The only friend she wants to get them out of this tough little toffee is about three-hundred miles from here.Leah starts to giggle.“Wrong reaction,” John whispers. “Pull yourself together. Rather try to see where the lioness is now. And what she is doing.”She leans forward just a little bit. “Still about five yards from you. As I recall within striking yard from you…”“Not reassuring,” he sighs.“Interesting. She is not looking at you anymore. She now looks over her shoulder to the bushes behind her. Why?”The answer comes just then. By someone talking in Swahili, a language both Leah and her dad understand: “There she is. Now take a slow aim and shoot. Try not to damage the head.”John frowns
Chapter 31Obviously, Sergio is up and storms and his instinct is to give the forward man a swipe with his right hand. Bat alas he stands there with only a sheet around his naked body.Then he realizes, the guy is lying. He doesn't smell like a woman. He was with a woman. They did some mating 'gymnastics' together!Of course, what makes it rather bad is that the mate he had in bed with him, was the rough guy's fiancée. But excuse me, she didn't tell him that there was a man in her life again. He didn’t know until now.This dark guy is actually quite decent, if you measure it to normal standards. He did not even storm in here with a gun in his hand, to shoot both of them dead. That's what often happens when someone murders for passion, round here.Let the poor man go! He had all the right to be angry.Sergio turns around and walks to the bathroom. A small window, rather high up behind the toilet is open. Alice probably wormed herself through the opening, jumped off and fled into the nig
Chapter 30Lesson number eight, Sergio remembers as he enters Alice from behind. Feel where my hand is. Now do with you fingers to me what I do to myself. She does not have to remind him anymore. He is a well-trained man by now.Alice loves this position. But after a good session, just after midnight, she wants to get back to lesson number five.Entrance from in front and then do that twitching and turning thing with mister Long.But then mister Long collapses, and Sergio with him.“Can we please just sleep for an hour or so, Alice?” he almost pleaded with her. “I have to be able to get up rather early tomorrow morning to go to the fish market with my dad.”“Are you getting too old for me, Sergio?” she teased him. She is forty-five now. Still in her prime, but she is asking him, if he is getting too old for her. And he is only turning thirty-six in August.Maybe it was the long-distance drive. Maybe he was just not that into her anymore, but he was actually relieved when she left his r
Chapter 29It may not be that far to where Sergio's family lives. The road just isn't as easy to drive. Even with a four by four. But at least it's nice and a bit of a grace to arrive at his people for that late lunch, his mother promised.Spicy curried fish and salads. His father and mother are as always happy to see him. His younger sister Silvia and her husband too. And the dogs, the three cats and the tamed chicken rooster Kallie are also happy to see him.But the one who can't wait to be alone with him is the neighbour’s daughter, Alice, who are working at the front desk. Alice was also back here in the small coastal town after her third divorce, his sister warns him when the two of them were alone for a second or two."Warmer and more worked up than ever. Just beware... And just protect your wicket, if you don’t want to score." She had a good laugh.Why does he have to protect anything? Besides, he doesn't have a connection to any woman at the moment. Maybe he would have felt di
Chapter 26Quite an ambitious project that Ralph's men are working on here, Leah has to admit. But as always, again the cart is harnessed in front of the horses. The lodge's foundations have been dug and thrown in the last two weeks. Walls extended to floor level.But first, an enormous swimming pool must be built, for which the man had a special pond scraper driven in. And a drill that now has to dig for water, so they can keep the spacious pool full of water. All well and good. Mozambique is a hot country, not far from the equator. A pool will probably be enjoyed by all his guests.Actually on many hot days, Leah wishes that their swimming pond at Hurter's Retreat was still working, too. That little dam is Manual's fish pond now.But the thing about Ralph is that he usually takes on everything larger than life and then end up finishing bothing. Like the seven apartments behind the farm-house they swapped for this portion of land.John and Leah arrive at the site, the people are act
