love in the unexpected places

episode 2

AVVA POV

The car ride was silent and very uncomfortable and silence is not my cup of tea,

Mm......are you a tourist? I had to ask.

"No, am on business,Do you know any places you can recommend to me"' He asked ," place to visit or to do business,place to visit, am already here I might as well check it out, of course Zambia is has a lot of beautiful place to visit", we have a lot of tourist destination, there are parks and water falls, there are plenty of places to go, that is if you want to.

"parks? he asked with a rised eyebrow, yeah parks as in wild life, like animals, don't tell me you have no idea what that is? I asked with a rised eyebrow as well." i know what a park", then why did you ask, "just to see what you meant."are you making fun of me?,no I couldn't make fun of you Miss....? i don't get your name"that's because you didn't ask, that's what I was going to say but held myself," well I don't think we will ever meet again so why tell each our names if we never meet,"in that case you can just call me Mr. and I will call you Miss, if that's okay with you,"it was nice meeting you Mr,

Can you give me your number if that's okay with you,is he blashing right now, that cute,"next time if we meet again I will give it to you.

Where are you from? because you don't look African and your accent is definitely not African,"is it that bad ,I mean my accent?, not really, it's sounds American to me," ohh is it that obvious?, I thought I can blend in but I got caught red handed,

And the car went back to being silent,"mm...ahh... You can drop me here,"here? you've reached?,yep my house is near, thank very much for the ride.

"No problem, thank you for the company and the recommendation I will check out the parks," you are welcome Mr.

Am sure you are wondering,why would this girl take a stranger to her house, right?well I didn't because I lied, I had him drop me three streets away from my house just to be safe,now you wondering why not closer to the house,why that far? well the thing is that when it comes to an African mum there are few things that one should know, first they want you to get married the minute you turn twenty,so every man they see you with automatic becomes your husband and the niga I was with is white so it's a jackpot,so hell no will I let her see me with a stranger who happens to be white, second when she say " you better do that s**t or else",my friend you better do it or you will in deep s**t if she finds out that you didn't do what she told you to do you are dead.and as for me I was told to find a job about a month ago, so you get why I dropped that far.i have to come up with a defence strategy for when she starts grilling... I yelling at me of which am not going to use, that is if I want to survive.last but not the least,if an African mother is talking or yelling at you,you have the right to remain silent or anything you say will be misinterpreted and used against you.

By the time I realized, I was in front of the house,I took a deep breath,here we goo.
