MIMSY

“Come off your high horse, Mimsy, this dude is cute and rich. What more could you ask for?” Adaure said to her friend gesticulating wildly.

“Look Ada, I get that you are on honeymoon fever, but love is not contagious. Stop trying to hook me up…. I am not interested in another blind date” Mimsy replied taking a sip of her cocktail.

“By the way, where's your husband? He should come and take you off my hands biko” she continued.

“Kelvin is cooking dinner, so he asked me to get out of his hair for a few hours”

  “I wonder why” Mimsy rolled her eyes.

“I know what you're thinking and it’s not true” Ada said with a knowing smile.

“I'm thinking you're the most exasperating, opinionated and pushy friend I have. Thank God your husband knows it too”

“Oh please. I might be all that, but you're stubborn and strong headed” Ada replied.

“Whatever!” Mimsy giggled, as she went through her phone.

Long Pause.



“Just give him a trial, believe me…. If you see him ehn, very cute bobo. You know I have great tastes........”.

Mimsy raised her hand abruptly, stopping her.

“One more word about a blind date, and I'll bring THIS date to an end...... I don't need a blind date.....Gbam!!!”

Ada pouted her lips and rolled her eyes in surrender.

“So,...... tell me about your trip to Paris…. At least I can enjoy love vicariously” Mimsy said excitedly.




The next day, Mimsy sat on the deck of her brother’s boat, looking out towards the ocean.

She loved sailing with her him, but work had been so hectic, she rarely had time.

 She wished he was here to take her out to sea, away from the hustle of the city, but she was alone on the boat.

She caught sight of a jet ski in the distance.

At least SOMEONE was having fun.She thought,if the loud giggles were anything to go by.

She smiled, and lay back in the deck of the boat and dozed off.

 Ten minutes later, she was awoken by the sound of laughter.

 She sat up, and looked in the direction of the laughter. There were about six people on the deck of a boat next to hers, and they seemed to be having a party.

There was music blaring from the speakers of the boat, and the girls were in bikinis.

One of the guys noticed that she was looking in their direction, and came closer.

“Hello” he shouted above the sound of the the music.

 Mimsy waved at him hoping he would take the hint and go away.

“Would you like to join us?” he asked.

“No thank you” She replied and another guy joined him at the edge of the boat.

“Hello” the new comer said smiling at her.

Mimsy heaved a sigh, waving her solitude goodbye. “Hello” she responded.

“I offered her our company, and she declined” the first guy told the newcomer.

“You should join us” Mr. newcomer said, giving her another of his smiles.

Okay,he was cute.She thought.

“Thank you, but I’d rather not” She responded.

“It’s his birthday. So do it for the birthday boy” the first guy said to Mimsy.

“Happy Birthday” she said to newcomer, and one of the bikini girls, came and latched unto his side.

“Thank you” he replied. Then he pulled off his shirt, showing abs that took her breath away, then executed a smooth dive into the sea to the applause of bikini girl.

Show off!She thought to herself.
There was no way a guy that hot was single.....just no way.She concluded as she stood up gathering her things.





“Sir I informed them, but they declined” Mimsy said to her boss few weeks later.

“Woo them. That is what you should do. You can't expect to seal such a deal over the phone..." he responded glaring at her.

“.....I need this deal, and if you are not able to get it, then I wonder what I pay you for” he continued.

“I'll try my best sir” Mimsy replied.

“Your best had better be good enough” he barked, dismissing her.




Twelve days later, she was still plotting on how to ambush the director in whose hands her fate seemed to lie.  His secretary had refused to let her see him, on four occasions saying he was busy and Mimsy was getting desperate, her boss was breathing down her neck.

“Look Ada, I need to meet with the guy one on one. I am certain I can convince him. But for his b***h of a secretary” Mimsy lamented.

Ada chuckled.

“I'm serious here......  My job is at stake”

“Look Mim, you and I know you really don’t need a job.  You have money” Ada said looking up from her phone.

“Unlike you, I choose to work.  It gives me satisfaction” Mimsy replied.

“Well if you need satisfaction, follow my footsteps.  Get a hobby, marry a rich and handsome husband,then f**k him until you get pregnant”

 The meaning of what Ada said dawned on Mimsy….

“ You're pregnant......?”

“Yes!” Ada screamed. Mimsy enveloped her in a hug.





Mimsy was dressed to kill. She was ready to sleep in this office today, if need be.

 She loved dressing up to improve her morale.

She walked towards the elevator.

 Her phone began to ring in her purse. She reached for it and.......BAM! She almost collided with a man.

 He smelled divine.

“I am sorry” she apologized, getting out of his way.

“You look really familiar” he told her, turning towards her. then it dawned on her that indeed she had met him somewhere.

“Birthday boy!!!” she gasped.



“Yea, that WAS you on the boat” he said smiling.

“What brings you here?”

His voice was sexy....HE looked sexy.Watching him talk was like watching soft porn.

“I am here to see the Director of Operations for the fifth time in two weeks, but his secretary is a pain in my a**......pardon my French..... You?” she replied.

He smiled and said,

"Don't worry,I speak French too...flently I might add.

They both laughed.

“Anyway,.....I AM the Director of Operations, ....and Yes,....... Sarah can be a pain In the a**” he said laughing.

Mimsy was speechless......embarrassed.

 “My mum often said my mouth would be the end of me” she said awkwardly.

“Well not today. I'm Harold ” he offered her his hand.

“I am Mimsy” she replied,as she took it.He hard a firm palm,but held hers tenderly.

She felt her temperature rise.

“Well Mimsy, I am off to a lunch meeting, but you can ride with me........ or we could reschedule ” he said with one of those his smiles.

“My car......” She began.

“My driver would bring it behind us” Harold said.




“So when did you start keeping secrets from me Mimsy?”Ada asked some weeks later.

“What do you mean?” Mimsy replied, slicing onions by the sink.

Ada stopped stirring the pot, and turned to look at her friend.

“Hmm, it must be serious, you want to lie about it” She said.

“I don't know what you are talking about” Mimsy responded.

“A man jor........I'm not blind, it's pretty obvious. oya,spill” .

Mimsy smiled, and shook her head saying “Nothing gets past you oh,this amebo. It’s nothing serious. Just leave it at that.”

“You know me better than that. So we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice.”

“Jeez… okay. Remember that Director with a secretary from hell?” Mimsy asked.

“Yes.....?” .

“Finally walked into him....... Literarily.Dude blackmailed me into having lunch with him.”

“And….?" Ada prodded.

“One thing led to another that’s all. Nothing serious.”Mimsy replied.

“Oh my God….. And you kept me in the dark? I can't believe this. I am so happy” Ada said laughing and going to give her friend a hug that shocked her.






Mimsy’s mind was on Harold, as she stepped out of her car. They had been dating for three months already, and Mimsy still couldn’t believe how she fell for him hard and fast. He added colour to her life, giving her a spark that had been missing.

And ofcourse,he was an Epically Awesome Shag.

She saw Ada coming out of her house, with her arms around a man that didn’t look like her husband Kelvin. When she got closer to them, she realized it was Harold.

“Harold” she said surprised.

“You two know each other?” Ada asked.

“Of course we do. This is Harold” Mimsy responded.

“I can't believe this” Ada said with a laugh.

“This is Harold, the one I told you about, who you described as a blind date from hell” Ada continued.

“Okay I'm lost here” Harold said, looking from one woman to the other.

Mimsy and Ada burst into laughter.

"WTF" they said together still laughing.
