If I had never been crazy before, now I am. But if I was at any point crazy, I think now I am going insane. If not madness, how can I be missing someone I know nothing about? Someone I mingled with for less than an hour, and now all I can think of is how to meet him again? I wanted to see him, but he vanished.That day, I went back to my room with a smile on my face. I was jovial the whole day, just because of him. Just remembering his face, his smile, or his weird name, a smile automatically shows on my face. At night, I remained awake for the better part of it, thinking of my beauty god. When I woke up yesterday morning, his smile was still fresh in my mind. His last words as he drove off that day were and still are like a song in my mind. He is so stuck in my mind. He said we would meet again—that too, sooner than I thought. My crazy self thought that maybe he thought I always went to the sea. Maybe he thought he would run into me there again. I did not want to crush his expectatio

This life is not fair at all. At least not on my side. When you are having difficulties, when you are going through some difficult moments, time seems to drag itself along. But when you are having a good time and are surrounded by good things, time just flies. Time moves really fast, like the blinking of an eye. Why the heck is that? Like now, just when I thought I was beginning to have some fun. I had just started enjoying myself here. Feeling all free and almost forgetting my problems. Loosening up a bit. Boom!! Time is up. Finally, we have come to the end of the extravaganza show. The end of my best days so farMeeting and interacting with these talented musicians like me has been one of the best moments of my life so far. It has been an undoubtedly amazing experience. I have made new friends, learned one or two things, explored some beautiful places in this beautiful city, and had fun all the way. Fun, huh! Speaking of fun, I owe that to this one beautiful person. He was the one w

"No. To you. To many, many more awards." I click his glass with mine."Thank you." I take a sip, and I like how it tastes. However, I am not having another one.He gulps down his in just two sips, puts the glass on the table, and leans back on the couch, lying his back on the backrest. Is that how it's supposed to be taken in one go? I might as well try that. I gulp down the remaining portion in my glass and swallow. It tastes better that way. I breathed out a heavy sigh, putting the glass on the table. I turn to my Greek god here. He is staring into space, lost in thought. He is probably thinking about his girlfriend again."Anything I can do to wipe off that frown?" I asked, looking at him. He turns his face toward me. His eyes say it all. He is thinking of her. This is the look of love."Ney. It will pass.""Are you sure? You look depressed.""It hasn't gotten to that." He sits upright, putting one leg on the couch. "You are not okay either." He says this, staring deep into my eyes

I'm sitting at the Mombasa airport, waiting to board my flight back to Nairobi in a couple of minutes. Rewinding a recap of all the events that took place during my seven days here, I am more determined to have that freedom I have experienced in the last few days. That free will to do anything and everything without fear or worry and without being trolled by anyone At this point, I want nothing more than for people to know the real me.I want to be the real Gia Wilson. Free from captivity. I am free from these chains that are not allowing me to breathe. I am taking off this mask that Ejay forcefully put on me. Enough with the lies, enough with the pretense, enough with the fear, enough with the what-ifs. I have had just enough of everything.My getting away from that bloody monster, Ejay, for these few days was an amazing awakening call. I'm leaving, but I sure will be back someday to this place that awakened me from my nightmare. The place that opened my eyes to what I was missing wa

I finish taking my breakfast and call for the room service to take the used utensils away. I would like to go out and breathe in some fresh air while stretching my muscles a bit, but I thought it wise to just stay indoors until I know I am safe from Ejay. I do not want him to know I am playing games with him yet. The fact that he has not called since I lied to him that my stay had been extended for another week is kind of alarming, but I want to believe that I am just being paranoid.This is what I have wanted—for him to just leave me alone—but for some weird reasons, this feels odd. I have been with that devil for about five months, so I know how he works. Whatever the case, I chose this for myself, and I am not backing down for anything. I am expecting detective Paul at around noon, which is about three hours from now. It's action time. I am not delaying this again. I don't want to waste even a single minute because I don't know what's going on in Ejay's head. That devil is full of
