I am a bull, Hear me roar.or is that Moo? Do bull moo or cows? No i am not a cow. Just asking. Anyway after Fernando left, i roared and roared until i could roar no more. If you were standing outside right at that moment i was roaring, i am sorry dear reader, you could not have heard me for i was roaring in my head. I am not a barbarian see, to roar out loud. So how many roars have you counted? hmm? Anyway after a while, i felt better and was able to get back to my work of staring out the window.
The day ended without further drama,though i did get a mail asking for my availability on the 26th of the month to face the firing squad. I reverted in the affirmative and gloomily signed off. I sms'ed Simba to see if he wanted to grab a drink and he replied in the negative, so i decided to go to cafe nero nearby sit for a while and trudge back home( if you can trudge back in your car. hmmm maybe if you have a Hummer.) Anyway i reached nero ordered large mocha and blueberry muffin's(my fav, the muffin not the coffee. You do remember dear reader that i am tea drinker and coffee was my latest acquisition) and found a quite corner to sit and gawk.I must have dreamt quite a catcher full( Dream catcher fool!) with my eyes wide open for when i finally got back to reality, the crowd around me had thinned and i had had 4 muffins and one pie. Urgh!! I really felt sick, so decided to leg it. I had my back to the door and was clearing my spread, when I saw Fernando get up and walk towards me. Wait.Wait. What the hell was he doing in here? I din't even know he was here, but now i could see that he was accompanied by Iben, and both were drinking coffee and eating pastries. Sometimes my power of observation amazes me for dear reader, Fernando and his man-friend were quite far from where i was seated. Anyway, He was walking towards me, taking long strides and my panic-meter was filling up like..like..like and i ran. I turned around and ran. My grandmother told me that "Whenever you see a adversary, you must stand up and.. and.. RUN.
And ran i did!! I am no lily-livered. My legs can pack quite a thrust and with each push against dear mother earth, i gained about 500m (Its'true, ask that dog chasing after me) Anyway after i was sure that i broke all olympic records, sound barriers, Flash Gordon's speed and other unbroken records, i decided to halt and take in the scenery(Actually, i was lost). Anyway i was pulling my phone out to check the gps, when a jag pulled up in front of me. Le Horror. Fernando got out of the car and i just gaped,too tired to run any further since adrenaline left my soul faster than air hissing outta of a torn balloon. I must have looked quite stupid for Fernando was trying not to laugh. and for some reason, i really wanted to break the brick wall with my bare knuckles, but i refrained with great determination and control.
" Man, Ronny you run really fast". There i told you and you dear reader din't believe me.
" What do you want Fernando? " i hissed.
"Seriously ronny, why did you run? i just wanted to say hi and talk"
" I ran because..
" Because i was overcome with sudden need to digest my food" . Lame. I know. But hy see if you can do better.
"Digest your food. That's funny. " he grinned showing his even pearly whites, which were sparkling in the fading evening glow. Again, i was stuck by how effortlessly charming and handsome bordering on beautiful Fernando was. I was also stuck by the urgent need to hide my nether regions. He must have noticed. But din't react and i din't care to respond either.
" So", i drawled," What do you want?".
" Ronald, please accept my apology. I was out of line and i really din't mean to undermine you in anyway".
His apology sounded sincere, but i was still upset and all i wanted to do was to turn my nose up and walk away.
" It's fine. I raised my voice too, Guess that makes us even" I said all this while turning my nose up in my head. I politely offered my hand and he took it. I obviously din't want to let go, and in some weird way, neither did he. My treacherous loins. Letting me down at all wrong times.
" Do you want a ride back"
" Ah no, my digestion cycle is not complete, so i will continue running for a while" Lame became Lamer personified. and my need to break brick walls increase by the milli second.
Incredulity was etched on Fernando's face, but he simply said " Eh? Is that so. Ok then, I will see you tomorrow."
"Ya sure", I stood, waiting for the car to pull away and was also happy to see that he had come alone and that insufferable Iben was left behind. I waited couple of minutes, called for a taxi and reached home in time for my soaps.
