#OMNISCIENT_POV

SLAP!!!

The sound of the Slap on Jerome’s cheek echoed the silent night… Here on his feet, Jerome looks up helplessly at his boss who’s very angry at his recent failures.. He quickly goes down on his knees and begs for his life as he comes face to face with gun close to his face by one of his boss’s guards.

Jerome ➡ Please Boss.. Don’t kill me.. I beg you.. Please.. Give me another chance.
.

Jerome looks on hoping and praying his boss would spare him. Then Suddenly , Dave steps out of the shadows and tells his boys to stand back, they obey his orders and gives him some space.
.

Dave ➡ You f-cking Kenyan pig…. If it weren’t for your success in that past, I would have put a bullet in your head…
.

Jerome ➡ I’m sorry boss.. I won’t…
.

Dave ➡ Shut the f-ck up.
.

Dave kicks Jerome down and points a gun at him, He shifts his hand and fires the gun missing Jerome inches away.. Jerome keep quiet shaking with fear.
.

Dave ➡ You’ve messed up Jerome.. You’ve messed up badly… I gave you a job and you let your monkey brother mess things up… I told you not to bring him into our affair but you didn’t listen but now he won’t be a problem any longer cause he’s dead.
Have you heard anything about Lisa?
.

Jerome ➡ No boss..
.

Dave ➡ God! Well.. I want her found and brought back to me alive… If anything happens to her.. I’ll round you and your boys and slaughter you like pigs… Understand?
.

Jerome ➡ Yes sir..
..

Dave ➡ Also.. I want that flash drive … Find it and destroy it… Kill anyone who has touched the drive… I can’t risk having loose ends.. Understand?
.

Jerome ➡ Yes boss.
.

Dave ➡ What about those b-stards ruining our business? Are they still running around?
.

Jerome ➡ No… They’ve been dealt with but there are still some of them running around but they’re not bothering us.
.

Dave ➡ What!? I don’t want them running around… As long as they’re alive.. They’ll be spoiling our business.
.

Jerome ➡ But sir.. There’s one we can’t kill because if we do that.. It will mean trouble than we’ve ever anticipated.
.

Dave ➡ Really? Who’s this one guy that we can’t touch?.
.

Jerome ➡ Tobi Mingati… He’s quite troublesome.. And his family are quite powerful.
.

Dave ➡ Well.. We’ll see about that… Looks like I’ll have to pay Tobi a visit myself. Do you know where he lives?
.

Jerome ➡ Yes?

LISA 🇬🇧

I’ve seen many festivals back in Europe, but they’re nothing compared to the ones here in Kenya.
The Lake Turkana festival 🎊 was quite a spectacular event, I once watched it on YouTube back in Europe but now here I am witnessing and experiencing the occasion.. There was food, music and best of all captivating cultural dances, I was so amazed that I could help but to get myself involved in the festival, I wasn’t that good a dancer but I managed to do just fine.. Thanks to Tobi’s mom and sister, I was able to do some fancy steps and moves and they loaned some of the dance attires to wear as well. Tobi too took part in the festival, Though he didn’t dance but made his hands useful by tapping the drums and he was very good at it, I couldn’t help but to dance to his tune, I was so intoxicated with the sound and beat of the drums.
The best part of the Festival was that, it wasn’t done in one place, we had to go around neighbors and through the Savannah celebrating the festival… Tobi was worried that I might be seen but thanks to the clothes I wore, I was hardly recognizable, before the end of the day, I had such a great time than I’ve had in years.

Speaking of Tobi, He and I have gotten more and more into each other and then we began going out on dates.. We don’t go to fancy places but we spend our time cruising through the Savannah and the deeper parts of the wild park. It was dangerous so Tobi loaned a small jeep and gun just in case. Sometimes, some of the lions would accompany us just to keep ourselves protected from other predators.

Despite how dangerous our date was, I got to see lot of things, We saw Elephants, Rhinos, hyenas, Giraffes, Buffalos, and lots of exotic animals, none of them paid attention to us except the Hyenas that is.. But Tobi always manages to send them away with his gun shot.. The best part of our date wasn’t just the tour but the place where Tobi always takes me.
The place was a beautiful hill with a big water fall, the site was so beautiful and the atmosphere there was refreshing, the water itself was cool and clean,and the best part it was safe from any wild animal,… Tobi and I would sit there and talk, telling each other romantic stuffs … Tobi wasn’t the romeo type but his intentions were honest and clear, Sometimes we spiced things up by plunging into the cool water to bath or swim, I had such a time with Tobi but the only problem was, He still didn’t make a move on me, ever since we started dating, He hasn’t even for once tried to kiss me.. He does touch me but that’s nothing, I do understand if he’s trying to be moralistic but we’re in a relationship now, He’s my boyfriend, even guys in the friend zone tens to make a move on their so called female besties.
So one Saturday evening as we were at the hill, I got fed up and decided to smartly ask Tobi why he wasn’t closing in on me, It would be unfortunate, if he doesn’t think that I’m s-xy or attractive. We were both sitting on a rock, when I made my move.
.

Lisa ➡ Tobi! Do I look attractive?
.

Tobi ➡ Attractive? … No.
.

Lisa ➡ (shocked) What!?
.

Tobi ➡ I said you don’t look attractive.. You’re more than that.
.

Lisa ➡ Really?
.

Tobi ➡ Yes.. You’re amazing.. It’s quite rare to see a woman such as you.
.

Lisa ➡ (blushing) Oh… So tell me what are the traits you find irresistible from a woman?
.

Tobi ➡ Sensitivity, Intelligence, cleanliness and great sense of humor.
.

Lisa ➡ Wow.. Why those four ?
.

Tobi ➡ First of all.. Let me start with the first two.. Most women of this era lack sensitivity and intelligence, thanks to social media, you see how most of them throw away their sense of worth, dignity and morals … It’s sad really.
.

Lisa ➡ Okay.. I get your point.. But it’s their choice to do as they please.. That’s the point of living your life.
.

Tobi ➡ No… Living a life of silliness and stupidity isn’t life. I understand everyone has to be free to do as they please but what’s the point of doing stupidity things with the precious time we have left.. Remember time is short. There are better ways to enjoy life..
.

Lisa ➡ Hmm,.. You’re right. So tell me.. What’s the best thing you’ve done so far to enjoy life?
.

Tobi ➡ Let’s see.. Sight seeing and having s-x.
.

I froze as I heard that… I really wasn’t expecting Tobi to say this but everyone has their naughty sides and wet fantasies. Not everyone is a holy saint.
.

Lisa ➡ Hmm.. So when was the last time you got laid?
.

Tobi ➡ Two months ago. How about you?
.

Lisa ➡ Well.. It’s been a while.
.

Tobi ➡ Your Ex doesn’t visit frequently huh?
.

Lisa ➡ Let’s just say He has low libido.. No skills at all and He’s a quick finisher.
.

Tobi ➡ Tsk! Tsk! That’s unfortunate.
.

Lisa ➡ Very unfortunate.
