I have done some really stupid things in life, all of which i am not proud of. I was never a good guy; I never cared for anyone other than myself. This one happened one years ago when I was at Makerere University, I lived with my roommate, Eric, he and I were more than just roommates, we were actually best friends. But he had a problem; he was never man enough to approach ladies.
And the funny thing was, “Girls” were all he ever talked about. And I had never actually seen him with any, either as friends or in a relationship since our first year. In my own case, I was the direct opposite, I hardly talk about girls, but I was the partying type, approaching whichever lady I think I liked. Most of them I won and others I didn’t. On a certain day, he and I were returning from the Library during the tests week, “You see that girl,” he said, using his head to point toward a lady some distance away. “That’s my missing rib” he added. I laughed, uncontrollably. “What’s the matter?” he asked. “You don’t even exist in her world” i said, but you can change that. “Just walk up to her and tell her how you feel, or ask her out”. He kept quiet for a while, “I don’t know why it’s so easy for you, but am scared, very scared” he said. I gave him my books, to hold for me, then began the journey towards his crush. “Hello ladies, how are you all doing?” I greeted them, she was with two of her friends, she didn’t reply, only the other two did. “Can I have a word with you please?” I said, but this time, facing my target. She was a little surprised.
We moved to the side, still standing, her notebook was pinned to her neck, while her jaw stapled it. “Hi dear, am Andrew, but I like being called Andy” I said, while extending my hand. She smiled a little, and shook on my hand. “And you’re…?” I asked “Am Brendah!” she replied. “Nice name, Brendah do you believe in Fate?” …. “Fate?” she asked “Yes, Fate, F-A-T-E” I said, spelling out every word. “I do” she replied. I loved the reply she gave because it was in accordance to my next statement. “I have a friend who has a very big crush on you; he thinks both of you are destined to be. Personally I’ve known him for two years, and all through the years, you’re the first lady he has showed interest in. And please don’t tell me you’re taken, because it will hurt him badly” I said. She laughed a little and glanced at her feet. “So who is this friend of yours and where is he?” she asked. “A moment please” I waved at him, and gave him a gesture to come over. I could hear his heart beating from where I was. lol! That’s a joke. Eric came over to where we were, he was pretending not to notice her, as he fixed his gaze on me. “Brendah, this is your missing rib,” I said with my left hand on his shoulder. “If he messes up, just tell me, and I’ll ‘Malhandle’ him” I said and we all laughed. I collected my books from Eric and left both of them still talking. I got home, prepared food for both of us, I ate some, and was watching Don’t Mess with Kansiime, when Eric came in.
He dropped his bag on the floor, with so much force, he came over to where I was and we shook. A big smile garnished his face, he was so happy, obviously. Eric and Brendah began dating and soon, they were in a serious relationship. On a weekend, Eric invited her to come spend the weekend with him, or should I say with us. It was a tough weekend especially for me, I slept at my neighbour’s place, while both of them, had the whole room. Brendah was the lively and very funny type and I knew she would engage my friend.
On the Sunday, I woke up very late, about 10am; Eric was already buckling his shoes. While Brendah was seated on the bed for supposedly a nice night. “Morning bro” He glanced at me. “you’re finally awake” he said and laughed a little. Eric dressed up, and wore the shoes for church since Brendah was going later on. He went over to the bed, to meet Brendah “Hey dear, I’ll be off to church, “I love you” he added, his hand on her cheek. “I love you too, and make sure you pray for us” Eric left, and I prepared eggs, tea and bread For Brendah and myself. She got up, dressed the bed, brushed her teeth and joined me on the room table. “Hey, you couldn’t wait for me” she said. I laughed with my mouth closed, ‘coz I was still munching. We enrolled into an almost endless conversation. “I haven’t seen you with any girl, does that mean you don’t have a girlfriend.” she asked I kept quiet for a long while. “I did, we broke up” I replied. “What happened?” she asked. I knew she’d ask that question, but I was hoping she wouldn’t. “It’s a long story, can we skip that please?” “No! I wanna hear it” she said, with a look of seriousness. “Okay, my ex-girlfriend lies a lot, about everything, I walked into her apartment, and met her being f@cked by another guy, I banged the door out of anger and left. She called me a few days later and told me she wasn’t the one” Brendah began laughing; she almost fell off her chair in laughter. I stretched my hand to hold her. She was still laughing, I was joking actually, I made that up. She laughed even more, when I told her I was kidding. After some minutes, she eventually stopped laughing. I was done eating; I sat by the table, as we kept talking.
She was done; I got her cups and plate, including mine and took them to the bucket. I began washing them to our near sink in our room. She walked up to me from behind and wrapped her hand around my waist. I was a little startled at first. “Hey!” I managed to say. “Are you always this sweet?” she asked. I used the towel, to dry my hands and turned around to face her. “Yeap, hope you do not have diabetes?” I asked with a grin. She began laughing again. My head was now locked as I moved closer to her, and forced a kiss on her cheek. And i stared at her for a while, and then made a move for her lips, we kissed. After that kiss, everything began happening fast.
I lifted her up and dropped her on the side of the bed, as she started breathing first I gently rubbed a finger on her lips. I slowly slid my hand into her pants and she gasped a little. Later, she started to groaned in ecstasy way as my hand was doing magic down, disorganizing her ‘Kampala Mukadde’.I was enjoying it too. I reached a hand to a box of condoms, and I bombard her ‘Kitone’. After our romp, that’s when I realized I betrayed my best friend; I stung him in the back. And he didn’t even suspect anything, because he trusted me to a great extent. Even though he never found out, it’s a mistake I still regret. But am a better man now, I doubt I would do the same, If caught in a similar situation. But recently I met Brendah in the bank and we exchanged numbers! We have been chatting on whatsap and she seems to what a second round despite dumping. Am now confused, I want to avoid this girl! However, she is funny and assertive, I would wish to have, but what will Eric think!
