Boy Meets Girl-Clash Of The Titans V

28 Oct

An excerpt from where we left off…

So as fate’ll have it, Mayaa’s calls started getting on call waiting too often, plus I wasn’t too quick to reply her texts. It wasn’t that I was jumping on the next available bus o, I was just filling my tank, charging my phone (sorry, that’s a me-&-Sheila way of saying; getting some excitement). The stench of a withdrawing boyfriend stunk real badly.

That week, when I went to see Maa at home, I left my phone to go use the washroom. When I returned, her mood had changed. “Why wassup?” I kept pestering her “O nothing, I just have a lot on my mind” (guys, fyi, if your lady has ‘a lot on her mind, get to the bottom of it ASAP!) but she wouldn’t say. After I tried half a dozen times, I just left it. Later that night when she called to check if I’d gotten home she asked “Who’s Sheila-aburi”?

The Showdown!

If there’re two things I’ve come to respect Mayaa for, they’re her intellect and discernment. I’ve learnt that when a very smart girl has you pinned to the wall and asks you a killer question, you really have just one smart option; try to create humor, ask your own more-friendly-but-equally-relevant question, and answer it! Denying stuff isn’t the best way out with a smart girl; it insults her intelligence, and that’s even worse than catching you red-handed. Read the rest of this entry »

Boy Meets Girl-Clash Of The Titans IV

21 Oct

An excerpt from where we left off…

When I eventually did get off and she was about to drive off, I couldn’t help the urge. In one swift turn, I was at her door. She tilted her head, looked up and smiled “Did you forget something?” Meeehhnnn, my heart was pounding within me like it was preparing fufu for a family of fifty! “Uh..uhhmm…I think I dropped my phone…in your car” “really? I doubt, after she called you….” Then the darn phone started to ring again, from my breast pocket!!!!!! It was Mayaa.

I had the goofiest look on. She just giggled, revved up the engine, and sped off like she’d dropped a child off at kindergarten. She wasn’t going to compromise on her “Chase and you might catch” philosophy. I watched the back of the corolla so long, I memorized the license plate ‘GT 1986 Z” I turned and headed towards home, and just then I had a brainwave! Sheila might be on facebook. She must be on facebook, I couldn’t wait to find out! The walk home from the junction had never felt longer!

The facebook experience

It was 8:36pm when I got to my giant green gate. I frantically banged on it and repeatedly pressed the bell; as if the longer it took, the less likely I was to find her on facebook. Joe, my little brother took 13 eternities to open it for me; an eternity for each of the years he’s lived “Why?? Were you sleeping??!!!” I asked both sarcastically and angrily. I didn’t even wait for a response. I just bulleted into my room, throwing a ‘Good Evening’ at whoever it may concern.

My laptop’s battery had run down, so I definitely needed electricity. I was typing ‘www.face….’ when wham! ECG did it again. Even if the lights had gone off just when Ghana was going to take the penalty kicks against Uruguay, it won’t have pained me as much. “Meehhnnnn!!! Why won’t mum get a generator kwraaaa??!!!” I screamed in my head. I’d dare not say it loud, like I die! Read the rest of this entry »

Boy Meets Girl-Clash Of The Titans 3

14 Oct

An excerpt from where we left off…

 I said “are you asking me on a date?”  she paused for a moment, raised an eyebrow and said “look forget about it, I’m busy with something anyways, so thanks for stopping by.

I said “Noo, noo, no, no, no!! I would take that seat, even carry it if I must, lol, I was just trying to be stubborn. My name’s Ben” And that’s how it all started. Sitting there looking at, within and through her, I had no idea how  unpredictable the next couple of hours,would turn out to be. I couldn’t wait to find out; everything with Sheila was spontaneous and unprecedented, with nothing to liken it to.

The Drive To Accra

She is a diva! She’d also come to write, same as me. Her storyline was so intricate I felt my life wasn’t worth living and that I’ll rather live as the main character in her book. She brought the sun up with her writing, and literally wore it like a wristwatch. She didn’t know it then, but the early part when I was sitting by her, I felt like I was sitting at the feet of some reputed best-seller novelist. I met my match that day at Aburi, it was a script written in heaven afterwards.

Even our giggling was synchronized, Read the rest of this entry »

Boy Meets Girl-Clash Of The Titans II

07 Oct

An excerpt from where we left off…

She acted like she hadn’t even noticed me, and that was just weird cos there was just the two of us on that lawn. She had her earphones plugged in, and from how softly she kept bobbing her head, she obviously liked whatever it is she was listening to. She took out her laptop, it looked like there was a lot of typing she had to do. I couldn’t think from then. All my life, I’d never had one fine girl accidentally end up sitting by me in a trotro, at church or a lecture, and now , only twelve yards away sat an angelic beauty wrapped in human flesh!

Our First Chat

Every gory detail Grisham tried to describe in his book I was reading seemed to be synonymous to pretty, girl, long-haired, sitting, just, twelve, yards, away. It was so hard. She didn’t lift her head once, but then she got a call. You know how sometimes, a girl can look gorgeous and then you hear her talk, and then you just die down…and then you just die down…like a baseless rumor? Well, it didn’t happen. She said “hello”, and that was it! I decided I had to get her number, if it was just so I could hear her say “hello” every day for the rest of my life. Read the rest of this entry »

Boy Meets Girl-Clash Of The Titans

01 Oct

Preamble: I told ya ‘Boy meets girl’ (BmG) was gonna be back. This is page 1 of a 4-paged short story. It doesn’t mean all BmG posts will be short stories. You know me & my love for the unconventional ;-) I’ll create a page on this blog for it. When the series is done, the full story will be on the special BmG page as a full post.

Anyways, part of this post is fiction and part isn’t. If you put too much time into finding which is and which isn’t, you might miss out on its beauty. So by all means, enjoy! & do leave a comment.

12 Yards Away

She’s Sheila. 5 foot 9, chocolate complexion, hazel eyes, delicately manicured digits. Long, thick, dark flowing natural hair; the kind I’ve always fancied running my hands through every morning as I kiss my future wife before leaving for work.

It didn’t look like she’d put any effort in making her hair look good, Read the rest of this entry »

BOY MEETS GIRL -This is NEW unchartered territory!!!

29 Jun

In my final Semester at Legon, I heard the most hilarious story. One time Vida and Asiedua; Two drop dead gorgeous friends of mine were having lunch at ‘Tym Out’- a popular eat-out on campus. Now in addition to being stunning beauties, they looked younger than their age, and were as a result hit on by immature greenhorns and freshers who’d spent the previous 3 years in single sex boarding schools fantacizing about coming to the land of beautiful women and letting some  testosterone lose every time any female-looking object was in sight.

These guys (like many other guys) were under the misconception that you could get any girl in Legon  by being the thug who had ‘swagger’ oozing from a beer bottle, ‘game’  dropping from his sagging baggy pants and ‘flex’ glittering in fake blinks pierced into ears and worn haphazardly as clothing accessories.
