A DAY IN MYRA'S LIFE 2

Summer is at its peak.It's on a weekend and Myra is still in bed.Usually she wakes up late on most weekends.Her phone went on vibrating for the past few minutes.She doesn't feel like waking up yet.She's tired from the previous day's work.She was very busy getting blogs ready.She can't tolerate it's vibration any longer thus reaches her hand out and picks it up.She accidentally knocks her water bottle over.It falls over from the table next to her bed.It rolls down to a furry carpet spread on the floor.

It's a call from Dylan;a guy they have been dating a for a month now.

"Good morning beautiful."He sounds excited.

"Good morning."She replies in a low sleepy tone.

"Someone sounds like they are still sleeping.I'll be picking you up around 11:30AM,remember?"

"Of course I do.I'll be ready soon."

"Okay.I'll be on my way in a few minutes."He says before hanging up.

She checks her phone's timer and it's 9:40AM.She stumbles out of bed as if still sleepy.She pick her water bottle then gulps down some water before heading for the bathroom.After that she spreads her bed before warming water in an electric kettle placed on a blue table at the room's center.

As it warms up she goes through her clothes trying to figure out what to wear.She takes out a white dress,stares at it for a while before returning it to the wardrobe.After going through several clothes she settles on wearing a white silk top,a white trouser and black boots to match her black feathered coat.She takes out a golden belt from a shelf in the wardrobe.She's on her way to shower when someone knock.She checks out and sees Dylan who has just arrived.

"That was fast."She says as he walks into her condo.

"You aren't ready yet."He says sitting  on her bed.

"It's not eleven yet."

"Okay,I don't mind waiting."

He takes her tablet and starts scrolling through it as she heads to shower.

   ****************************************

It's 11:50AM when they finally leave her place.

"We are twenty minutes late."Dylan says when they are inside his car.

"Not my fault.I'd have been ready a long time ago if you had let me dress up instead of being so touchy."

"Guilty, couldn't help myself,your body is so amazing.I am obsessed with it."

She smiles as they drive off Ngong road.

"You haven't told me about our destination.Where are we headed to?"She questions him.

"It's a surprise.You'll see."

"Okay,if you say so."

There's soft classic music playing.Dylan has one of his hands on the staring wheel and the other's caressing her right thigh.She's staring outside trying to figure out where he's driving to.She notices they have passed through Kilimani to Waiyaki road but still can't tell their destination.

"Come on, curiosity is killing me.Just tell me."She complains to him.He shakes his head and gets on driving humming along Michael Jackson's song that's playing.

After a few minutes they arrive at Villa Rosa Kimpinski.A five star hotel in Nairobi city.

"Here we are."Dylan says as he parks next to a white saloon car.

"Wow!It sure is a surprise."

He say as they both alight.As they head in they are joined by Dylan's personal photographer whose been waiting for them.

He's a tall guy.His hair is well trimmed and dyed in red.He's always wearing sun glasses even when it's not sunny.He's carrying a blue leather bag in one hand and a large brown camera in the other.He's cheerful and always smiling.Before heading in he snaps several photos of both Myra and Dylan.

They head in to their reserved table.Once seated Myra takes a menu placed on the table and starts scrolling through it.Minutes later a blonde waitress walks to them and questions them on what they'd like to order.

"Baby,I'll have whatever you are having."Dylan says to Myra.

"We'll have steamed chinese rice and sizzling sliced lamb with cumin flavor and chillies."Her eyes are still fixed on the menu as she speaks."Are you okay with this?"She then turns to Gold the photographer.

"Yes am cool.Plus some eggplants please."He replies.

"Any dessert for now?"the waitress goes ahead to ask them.

There is silence between them before Dylan replys,"Banana fritter and vanilla ice cream for me.Don't know about the rest of you."

"Vanilla ice cream sounds okay."Myra replies before the waitress walks away.

"Guy's look who is here."Gold is excited as he says this.They turn their heads and see a female Kenyan celebrity walk in with her son towards their direction.She heads to another table in the far end.

Dylan doesn't pays much attention to her.He goes back to scrolling his phone.Myra on the contrary is happy to see her.

"I love her music."She says still staring at her."I loved it since highschool.I knew most of them by heart.I had this book I had lyrics written inside."

"What's special about celebrities.They are just humans."Dylan comments.

"You have to appreciate a human that's talented dear."Myra replies.

"Everyone's talented or gifted baby.Majority of humans are just lazy to explore them."Just then his phone rings.He gets up and walks a few steps away from them 

"Do you want some snaps with her?I can go ask her, if she doesn't mind."Gold asks her.

"No,we shouldn't bother her."

"Come on.I know you want to.It doesn't hurt to make a few memories."He persists.Dylan's still on the phone as they get up and leave heading towards her.

They are back and he's still talking on the phone.

"She actually nice."Gold comments on her personality.Myra is not paying attention to him but is staring at Dylan who is still on the phone.Minutes later he's back to his seat.

"Check this out."Gold shows him the photos they took earlier.

"That was fast.I was on a call for only a few minutes."

"You call that a few minutes?"Myra asks him.

"It was a business partner."He replies as if sensing her curiosity to know who was on the phone.

"Apparently she knows Myra and claims to love her work."Gold's eyes glow as he talks on about the female celebrity assuming their discussion.

"My baby is a star.We all know she is."Dylan says after kissing Myra's hand.

"You are so good at flirting."Myra replies smiling meekly.

"I mean it.You are amazing dear."

"So, what do you think?"Gold ask when Dylan is done scrolling through the photos.

"They are superb.They look amazing without even been edited.My photographer sure is the best."

Gold's happy that Dylan's satisfied with his work.He loves getting compliments from his boss.Dylan's good with flirting in need.He knows how to struck ones ego.Something he's mastered so well.A different waitress arrives with their meal placing it gently on the glass table.They go on eating and chatting with merry.

It's late in the afternoon when they depart from Villa Rosa.Gold parts way with them.They drive off to Dylan's place where they spend the rest of the day.
