Ting!.. There goes my phone at 11 am. "Happy mother's day hun" Ting! "Mpesa confirmed. You have received..." I giggle and text back 'LOL' with a wink face. This is our little inside joke with my boo. My BFF is already at my door. She reads my face like a damn psychic and she knows something is up. "Guess who gets Mother's day funds?" I jump to say. Are you serious? She laughs and claps and signals me to chuck. We have a spa appointment to get to. She drives my car today because she wants the tea, haha. I'm very expressive with my hands and get carried away when narrating stories. We don't want to die young. My car has yet been scratched because Nairobi.. It is still shiny and brand new. My house lease is far from expiration so hey, I have a lot to live for. I don't know about her. Maybe balcony plants and her 4th situationship this year??

You're drop dead gorgeous even now, why else would I voluntarily chose to wake up next to you all these times?

This happens all the time, the vulnerable, heartfelt pillow talks in the morning that keep me hooked for how vivid and dramatic of a storyteller he is. He's such a mood for days I swear.  My humor needs have such
