Chris.

He had not expected the reaction he got from Dorcas. She did not protest or beg her as usual.  That was not the Dorcas he knew. He had really hoped to see the pain in her face. Instead a blank expressionless face had stared back showing no hint of pain.  Whatever, he had separated herself from this mess. What could he do to such an ungrateful brat of a child? After all she had been given all she could afford was to be as stupid as her mother.

He wanted nothing to do with them . It felt like slavery. Dorcas could not give her a son. He had envied his best friend who not only had two sons but also was well accomplished. It was sad that he had to lose his beautiful wife to death. That was the other thing. Chris felt like Dorcas was not meeting his standards.  He was an accomplished man. She wanted a wife she could show off to her friends and go to parties with. Though Dorcas was an attractive woman she was not the one to dress in a bid to please people and worse still she hated parties. Chris had coped with this at first but in the end broke free from it. That when his cheating episodes and drunk nights had started.

Frustrated from not getting any reaction from Dorcas, he silently rose from the sofa, picked his keys and left.

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

Over 17 years ago

Two days had passed after the party and Dorcas had not heard anything from Chris. Had he forgotten about her already? She was on the verge of losing her mind

. Should she call him? No, that was indecent. It was only proper for the man to make the first move, not the other way round

Her mind re-visited their walk home after the party. 

“Perfect moment.” She thought to herself

Why had he not called? Was he just teasing her the other day?

Any time the phone rang she ran to it only to find it was one of her parent’s business associates.

. It was a good thing they were not around otherwise they would have disapproved her constant reaction to the phone. She was engrossed in her fantasies when the help called.

“Someone’s here for you.”

Wondering who it could be he quickly dismounted the stair and there he was, the man after his own heart. Without any regard to her self-respect as a decent African woman she ran and hugged him. Then said softly.

“Thought you had forgotten about me, please sit down, what can i offer you?”

“Nothing.”

Dorcas was a bit taken back when he turned her offer for drinks down. Relief immediately swept when she noticed that he was smiling at her tensed face.

“Actually i came to steal you for a moment before your parents come back.” He said.

“Really.”

Chris nodded and took her hand. . She followed him outside. There was a new motorcycle outside.

“My parents bought it today as a surprise graduation gift. I thought why not have my first test drive with you beautiful?”

He mounted and helped Dorcas onto it. 

It was a beautiful afternoon. There was no traffic on the roads they scaled.  The feel of wind brushing past her hair and that of the afternoon sun against her skin was so nice. He hand around Chris, head over his shoulder gently sitting on one of his shoulder.

It was the ride of her life and she was sure at this moment, he was in love with this man.
