Italics = Flashback au Lisa's thoughts.
Lisa woke up early the inayofuata morning. She opened her eyes and found out she was in a hospital.Why am I here? What happened? She looked at her arms and legs and saw the casts around them. Then she saw a man sleeping in a big chair inayofuata to her. She looked at him curiously. Who is that guy? Why is he sitting here with me? Should I know him? She tried to take a closer look at him. He is pretty cute. Should I wake him up? He wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me right? She wanted to softly poke him, but she found she couldn’t songesha her arms all the way over to him, the casts were too heavy and because of the broken ribs she couldn’t really turn her upper body. She then tried coughing, but it didn’t wake him up and it hurt. ‘Mister? Wake up, please? Time to get out of … the chair!’, she alisema not to loud, she didn’t want to scare him. Hugh slowly woke up and saw Lisa staring curiously at him. ‘Lisa! You’re awake!’, he alisema happily. She frowned at him. Why is he so happy that I’m awake? I don’t even know the guy! ‘Yes, I am awake… Who are you?’, she asked. Hugh’s eyes widened and his mouth fell open, ‘You… wewe don’t remember me?’, he asked sadness instantly visible in his eyes. ‘Should I remember you? I’ve never seen wewe before…’, she alisema sincere. Hugh didn’t know what to do, he pushed the emergency button and hoped a doctor could come and help them.
A nurse came rushing into the hospital room. ‘Something wrong?’, she asked. ‘She’s awake… and she doesn’t remember me.’, Hugh said. The nurse nodded, ‘I’ll get her doctor to visit wewe as soon as possible.’ Lisa watched Hugh and the nurse curiously. Who are these people? Why am I here? Which hospital am I in kwa the way? The nurse went away and Lisa looked curiously at Hugh again. ‘So who are you?’, she asked again. Hugh sighed, ‘I’m Hugh Laurie, I’m your… We are good friends.’ ‘Hugh Laurie…Doesn’t ring a bell, sorry…’, she blushed. He pulled his chair closer to the bed. ‘It’s okay, it’s not your fault.’, he alisema and looked up into her eyes. Wow! How can I not remember those eyes? What happened? ‘Hugh…? What happened to me? Why am I here in a hospital?’, she asked. ‘You, wewe had an accident… ‘, Hugh alisema but was interrupted kwa Lisa’s doctor coming into the room. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Lau, good morning.’, he alisema with a smile on his face and then turned to look at Lisa. Mrs. Lau? Hugh is my husband? When did I get married?! He is cute, but isn’t he a little old for me? ‘I ran into the nurse and she told me wewe were awake! How are we feeling today?’, he asked. ‘She doesn’t remember me…’, Hugh said. The doctor looked at Lisa, ‘Is that true?’. Lisa sighed, ‘I’m sorry, I just have no idea who he is. I feel like I just met him.’ The doctor scanned Lisa in a way that Hugh found kind of creepy. ‘I want to exam you, Mrs. Lau. I think it would be best if your husband stays in the waiting room with the rest of your family.’, he said. ‘My family is here?’, she asked. ‘Yes, your parents are currently sitting in the waiting room.’, the doctor answered. Hugh stood up and brushed a hand trough his hair, ‘I guess I’ll go waiting with them then…’ Somehow Lisa didn’t want Hugh to leave, she felt a certain connection with him even if she didn’t remember him at all. ‘Hugh?’, she asked. Hugh turned to look at her. ‘I-I’m sorry I don’t remember you… wewe are coming back later right?’, she asked afraid that he would leave. ‘Don’t worry Leese, I’m not going anywhere.’, he gave her a small smile which she returned with a bright one.
Outside of room 451 were Lisa’s parents, Alvin and Bonnie, waiting, Jennifer and Katie were also there. They all rose from their seats when they saw Hugh coming out of Lisa’s room. ‘How is she?’, Lisa’s mother asked worried. Hugh sighed, ‘She’s awake. She has lots of broken bones, but they say she’s going to fully recover from that, so I’m not worried there. It’s just that… she hit her head pretty bad and she… she doesn’t remember me au the accident…’ Everyone stared at him. ‘The doctor, he-he’s now examining her, I guess we will hear zaidi soon.’ Lisa’s parents nodded. ‘Thank wewe for staying with her this night Hugh, that was really nice of you.’, Alvin said. ‘I couldn’t leave her here. I need to be here for her.’, Hugh replied, his voice breaking. Lisa’s mother instantly hugged Hugh, ‘Thank you, she’s always telling us how good of a friend wewe are.’ They all went to sit down and talked a little about trivialities, trying to make time go faster so they would get to hear how Lisa was and visit her.
‘So Mrs. Lau, let’s see how wewe are really doing.’, the doctor said. Lisa nodded. ‘Do wewe feel any pain?’, he asked. ‘No, not really, just when I try to turn then I feel my ribs.’, she answered, ‘Do wewe know what happened to me? What kind of accident was I in?’ ‘I think wewe should ask your husband that. He was with wewe when wewe had the accident.’, he said, ‘I’m going to ask wewe some maswali now to see how severe your concussion is.’ Lisa nodded slowly. ‘What is your name?’, he asked. ‘Lisa Edelstein and apparently Lau.’, she said. Hadn’t Hugh alisema his last name was LauRIE? Why does the doctor keep calling me Mrs. Lau? The doctor nodded, ‘Do wewe know what siku it is?’ She had no idea and shook her head. ‘What month? mwaka maybe?’ Lisa was deep in thought for a few seconds, ‘I believe it’s 2002, summer I think… They just got the Euro in Europe and I just celebrated my 36th birthday in may.’ The doctor shook his head, ‘I’m afraid that isn’t right.’ ‘So how wrong am I then?’, she asked. ‘Just about 7 years…’ Lisa’s eyes widened. 7 years?! 7 years that I don’t remember? How the hell did this happen?
David had aliyopewa them the siku off, but they decided they would all meet at Roberts place. Peter, Olivia, David, Omar, Jesse and Robert sat in Roberts living room. Robert and Olivia told them about Lisa’s condition last night when they went to the hospital. They all exchanged some small talk although no one was really in the mood for it. They wanted to do something for Lisa and also for Hugh, but none of them knew what…
When the doctor came out of Lisa’s room Hugh walked to him immediately. ‘Is she okay?’, he asked. ‘Well, she has amnesia, memory loss for those who don’t know what that is. She thinks it is 2002, that would be why she doesn’t remember you.’, the doctor answered. ‘2002? She doesn’t remember the past 7 years? How is that possible?’, Hugh asked. ‘She has a severe concussion, but the amnesia is too severe for that. It is probably from the brain swelling I talked about earlier.’, the doctor replied. ‘Is she going to get her memory back?’, Hugh asked really worried now. ‘Most of it, but I don’t think she’ll remember everything. And it will take a while, possibly weeks to months before she remembers.’, the doctor explained. Hugh sighed, ‘Can we see her?’ ‘Of course, I just have to warn you. wewe cannot tell her major things that happened in the past 7 years. She has to remember on her own otherwise it might shock her too much and she will repress other memories.’, the doctor said. They all nodded.
Hugh, Lisa’s parents, Katie and Jennifer walked into Lisa’s room. Lisa’s eyes lightened up when she saw Hugh and her parents. ‘Hey mom, dad!’, she alisema happy. ‘Hey honey. How are you?’, Bonie asked her daughter. ‘Well, I just found out I don’t remember the past 7 years and I seem to have a lot of Bones broken, but besides that I’m great.’, she alisema not wanting to let her mother worry too much about her. She then looked at Katie and Jennifer. Should I know these people? They probably know me, they look really concerned. ‘I’m sorry, who are you?’, she asked them. ‘That are Katie and Jennifer, they’re your friends, just like me.’, Hugh said. Lisa looked at him suspiciously. I thought I was married to him? Doesn’t anybody know that? They all chatted for a while and Lisa realized that her parents had indeed no idea she and Hugh were married. Katie and Jennifer were very nice, she liked them already. After a while Lisa got tired and the nurse asked her visitors to leave.
Katie and Jennifer had brought Lisa’s parents to an hotel so Hugh and Lisa were alone again. ‘You could have told me we are married!’, she alisema immediately, ‘And why don’t my parents know that? I would think I would want them to be at our wedding!’ ‘Honey, it’s okay… it I don’t know how much I can tell wewe without shocking your memory.’, Hugh alisema apologizing. ‘You could tell me at least something! How long are we married? How did we meet? Maybe some memory in which we had fun together? Please Hugh, I need something.’, tears were welling up in her eyes. ‘I feel like I missed out on 7 years. I-I don’t know what kind of person I am right now, I don’t know my job au if I even have one, I don’t know who my Marafiki are, I don’t even know my husband… I’m scared.’ Hugh took her good hand in his and kissed it softly . ‘You are an amazing woman, wewe are smart, funny, sexy and extremely sweet, the way you’ve always been. And I guess, I could tell wewe a little story about when we were just very good friends.’, he smiled. She smiled at him. He’s really sweet, where did I find him? Did I succeed after all? Have I finally found upendo with one of the good guys?
They had just finished shooting the fifth season when David told him he was throwing a party for the whole cast because they had been so amazing over the past years. The party would be zaidi of a small vacation as they would all go to some fancy hotel close at the beach, pwani for a long weekend, which meant Friday night till probably Tuesday. The hotel was in a small village 3 hours south from LA. David had organized a bus to take them there. It would leave at 2pm on Friday at the studio…
It was about 1pm when Lisa called Hugh, ‘Hey Lisa!’ he said. ‘Hey! wewe finished packing yet?’, she asked. ‘No, I don’t really know what to take with…’, he replied shyly. ‘That’s not true, wewe pack all the time with going back and forth between LA and London... Is something wrong?’, she asked concerned. ‘No, it’s just that I don’t really know if I want to go. I’m not really good at parties.’, he replied. ‘It will be fine. Just try to relax a little. It will be fun, hanging out with friend for a weekend, not stressing about work.’, she tried to reassure him. ‘I-..’, he alisema but Lisa interrupted him. ‘Don’t worry so much. wewe know what I’m coming over to help you. I’m finished anyway.’ She hung up on him, put her things in the car and drove to his house.
‘Hey…’, he alisema and hugged her instantly. She smiled, ‘Please tell me wewe have at least one thing in your suitcase yet, because we only have about 30 dakika till that bus leaves and it’s at least 15 from here to the studio.’ Hugh blushed, he hadn’t done anything yet. The whole siku he had been thinking about going au rather not going to the party. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to spend time with his friends, he had just hoped that he could spend some time alone with Lisa before he had to get back to London. Preferably alone with Lisa far away from his colleagues and friends. After their little strawberry yogurt game she was all he could think about.
At 1:50pm Hugh called David, ‘Hey David, it’s me. I’m sorry but I don’t think I’m going to be ready in time to catch the bus. Something has come up so…’ ‘Should we wait on you? We can wait for a few minutes…’, David replied, ‘Lisa isn’t here yet either.’ ‘No, it’s fine… wewe guys just go without me. I’m going with my own car and I’ll take Lisa with me. We just called, she hasn’t finished packing yet.’, Hugh smirked, all he alisema was true, he just left out that it was his stuff Lisa was packing now. ‘Okay, then we’ll see wewe guys there I guess! Bye!’, David replied. ‘See wewe later.’, Hugh replied and closed his phone.
He walked into his bedroom where Lisa was frantically filling his suitcase. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. ‘Hugh, I’m busy…’, she alisema with fake annoyance. ‘I know’, he alisema and pulled her a little closer. His grip was too strong, she stopped fighting him and turned around so they were facing each other. She put her hands on his chest. ‘You’re really difficult sometimes wewe know.’, she grinned. He kissed her lips, it was something they did very often nowadays. They called it friendly kisses, but they both knew they were zaidi than ‘just friends’. ‘I called David, told him we’re going to the hotel kwa ourselves. So we have a little zaidi time now…’ Lisa smiled and this time she was the one to give him one of their friendly kisses.
At 4pm they finally left his house. They decided to take her car as leaving it at his house would make the press suspicious. It was supposed to be a 3 saa ride to the hotel, but traffic was really bad so it took a whole lot longer. At 9pm they were still about an saa away from the hotel, at least that’s what they thought. They had taken a few ‘short-cuts’, but now they didn’t really know where they were. ‘Hugh? Do wewe have any idea where we are?’, she asked. ‘I-I actually have no idea…’, he replied. ‘We’re almost out of gas and I’m getting tired..’, she mumbled. About ten dakika later they drove into a small village, not the one they were supposed to get to, but at least they could ask where they were. They stopped at what alisema on the outside that it was an hotel and walked into it.
‘Hi, we are…’, Hugh started. ‘I know who wewe are! wewe are Hugh Laurie and Lisa…ehm..’, the receptionist squealed. ‘Edelstein’, Lisa finished. ‘Yes! How can I help you?’, she asked. Hugh blushed, ‘We are kind of Lost actually and the car is almost out of gas.’ ‘O dear, that’s bad! Where do wewe have to go?’, she asked. Lisa handed a map to the woman and pointed at the hotel they were supposed to go. ‘I know that hotel, it’s about an saa and a half away from here. It’s not so many miles, the roads are just very bad.’, the receptionist alisema and started to draw the route on the map, she also gave circled the nearest gas station. Hugh and Lisa thanked the receptionist and walked back to the car. They both sat in their seats, but Lisa didn’t start the car. ‘You okay?’, he asked. ‘I’m really tired and hungry. I haven’t eaten in like twelve hours.’, she replied. ‘Why didn’t wewe tell me?’, he asked, ‘I can drive if wewe want. Do wewe want to go to a restaurant?’ ‘I…’, she started but he interrupted her. ‘You know what, let’s just stay here. They probably have some rooms free and I think we can find something like dinner, we’ll give David a call and tell him we’re coming to the party tomorrow.’, he said. Lisa sighed, ‘You don’t mind?’ He smirked, ‘Not at all.’
They checked into the hotel but found there was only one room left. The room was very small, which meant it was just big enough to squeeze one double kitanda into it. There was also a small bathroom with a toilet and a shower. The hotel didn’t have a restaurant but there was a little duka down the mitaani, mtaa that was still open. Hugh went to get them some chakula while Lisa took a shower.
When he came back Lisa was lying on the bed, her eyes closed listening to her Ipod. Hugh put the bag with the chakula down, pulled his shoes of and climbed onto the bed. He stroke trough her hair and she opened her eyes. ‘You’re back…’, she alisema sleepy. ‘Yes and I’ve got wewe some food.’, he smiled. She was dressed in a pink nightgown, which looked like a summer dress. It was light pink with white lace edges. It was short, barely covering her hips, and really low cut as the only thing covering her breasts were small triangles of fabric. She looked amazing.
Hugh grabbed the bag and gave it to Lisa. In it were some sandwiches, machungwa, chungwa juice, lots of chocolate, strawberries, whip cream and a small beaker of strawberry yoghurt. Lisa smiled, ‘What do wewe think we’re going to do tonight?’, she asked playfully. Hugh blushed, ‘I-I just thought wewe liked chokoleti and you’re a vegetarian and I didn’t know what wewe would want to eat and I knew wewe liked these things and…’ She cut him off kwa kissing his lips lightly. ‘It’s okay Hugh, I was just kidding.’ Hugh’s face turned zaidi red, ‘I knew that…’
She got all the chakula out of the bag and put it on the very small nightstand. They both ate some sandwiches and drunk machungwa, chungwa juisi in silence as they were very hungry. After they were both full Hugh went to take a shower. Lisa stared at the rest of the chakula on the nightstand, there was even chokoleti sauce, she started to eat a chokoleti bar.
Hugh came out of the bathroom after 15 dakika only dressed in sweatpants. Lisa dropped her chokoleti bar and stared at his masculine chest. He laid down inayofuata to her, which was hard as the kitanda was a little small for both of them. They both turned to lay on their sides facing each other. He started to stroke her up and down her back as they talked a little. She snuggled closer to him and played with his chest hair. ‘Hugh?’, she asked worry suddenly audible in her voice. ‘Yes?’, he replied. ‘What is this? This thing between us? What are we?’, she asked. Hugh didn’t know how to answer. ‘We’re colleagues, friends… very good friends…’, he alisema while twirling her hair around his fingers. It was really soft and it smelled so nice. Lisa smiled, ‘Friends?’ Hugh kissed her on the lips yet again, ‘Friends’. They both smiled brightly at each other.
‘Do wewe want some yoghurt?’, he asked playfully. ‘I’d prefer strawberries… and chokoleti sauce’, she grinned. She picked the box of strawberries of the nightstand and gave them to Hugh. Then she picked the chokoleti sauce up and opened it. ‘Too bad we don’t have plates…’, she alisema while she put some of the sauce on Hugh’s chest. ‘Yeah, too bad…’, Hugh replied while she licked the chokoleti of him. He then handed her a strawberry which she ate very quickly. They repeated it a few times before Lisa climbed on juu of him so she could straddle his hips. She licked the chokoleti of his chest but when he handed her another strawberry she told him to eat it instead. He understood, ate the strawberry and pulled her closer and closer to him.
Their eyes fluttered shut when their mouths crashed down on each other as their tongues immediately started their own battle. The mix of strawberries, chokoleti and each other was too much, too good. He didn’t want it to ever stop. Their hands were groping all over each other. They needed this so much. Their tongues kept playing until the need for oxygen was too big. They opened their eyes and stared at each other. Hugh brushed trough her hair. ‘Just Marafiki right?’, she asked. Hugh blushed, ‘I’m really hungry for some whip cream now.’ Lisa smiled and handed the whip cream to him. He pulled Lisa’s nightgown up so he could put the whip cream on her bare belly. He also added some chokoleti sauce. Soon Hugh was on juu of her, her legs wrapped around his waist and their tongues playing again. They tried to reassure each other they were just friends, but the words didn’t mean anything anymore. They made out till deep into the night. It took all of their self control to not rip the remaining clothes of each other and have each other completely, but they made it. They didn’t want to kuvuka, msalaba that line yet. Not when he had to go away so soon.
The inayofuata morning they left the hotel to go to David’s party. They had separate rooms there and people were constantly around them. But when everybody went to kitanda they went to see each other. They talked, cuddled and kissed. It had been an amazing long weekend.
kwa the end of his story she was fast asleep. He smiled at her, she was beautiful even with 2 broken arms, 2 broken legs, 2 broken ribs, lots of bruises and wounds. Her eyes had sparkled and a soft smile was still displayed on her face. He did upendo this woman, he just didn’t know how to not jerk her memory and telling her they weren’t married. Maybe he shouldn’t tell her, maybe he should just go with it until she was at least a little bit better. Maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing that had happened to them…
Please rate & review!

Lisa woke up early the inayofuata morning. She opened her eyes and found out she was in a hospital.Why am I here? What happened? She looked at her arms and legs and saw the casts around them. Then she saw a man sleeping in a big chair inayofuata to her. She looked at him curiously. Who is that guy? Why is he sitting here with me? Should I know him? She tried to take a closer look at him. He is pretty cute. Should I wake him up? He wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for me right? She wanted to softly poke him, but she found she couldn’t songesha her arms all the way over to him, the casts were too heavy and because of the broken ribs she couldn’t really turn her upper body. She then tried coughing, but it didn’t wake him up and it hurt. ‘Mister? Wake up, please? Time to get out of … the chair!’, she alisema not to loud, she didn’t want to scare him. Hugh slowly woke up and saw Lisa staring curiously at him. ‘Lisa! You’re awake!’, he alisema happily. She frowned at him. Why is he so happy that I’m awake? I don’t even know the guy! ‘Yes, I am awake… Who are you?’, she asked. Hugh’s eyes widened and his mouth fell open, ‘You… wewe don’t remember me?’, he asked sadness instantly visible in his eyes. ‘Should I remember you? I’ve never seen wewe before…’, she alisema sincere. Hugh didn’t know what to do, he pushed the emergency button and hoped a doctor could come and help them.

The nurse nodded, ‘I’ll get her doctor to visit wewe as soon as possible.’ Lisa watched Hugh and the nurse curiously. Who are these people? Why am I here? Which hospital am I in kwa the way? The nurse went away and Lisa looked curiously at Hugh again. ‘So who are you?’, she asked again. Hugh sighed, ‘I’m Hugh Laurie, I’m your… We are good friends.’ ‘Hugh Laurie…Doesn’t ring a bell, sorry…’, she blushed. He pulled his chair closer to the bed. ‘It’s okay, it’s not your fault.’, he alisema and looked up into her eyes. Wow! How can I not remember those eyes? What happened? ‘Hugh…? What happened to me? Why am I here in a hospital?’, she asked. ‘You, wewe had an accident… ‘, Hugh alisema but was interrupted kwa Lisa’s doctor coming into the room. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Lau, good morning.’, he alisema with a smile on his face and then turned to look at Lisa. Mrs. Lau? Hugh is my husband? When did I get married?! He is cute, but isn’t he a little old for me? ‘I ran into the nurse and she told me wewe were awake! How are we feeling today?’, he asked. ‘She doesn’t remember me…’, Hugh said. The doctor looked at Lisa, ‘Is that true?’. Lisa sighed, ‘I’m sorry, I just have no idea who he is. I feel like I just met him.’ The doctor scanned Lisa in a way that Hugh found kind of creepy. ‘I want to exam you, Mrs. Lau. I think it would be best if your husband stays in the waiting room with the rest of your family.’, he said. ‘My family is here?’, she asked. ‘Yes, your parents are currently sitting in the waiting room.’, the doctor answered.

How the hell did this happen?

She then looked at Katie and Jennifer. Should I know these people?

It will be fun, hanging out with friend for a weekend, not stressing about work.’, she tried to reassure him. ‘I-..’, he alisema but Lisa interrupted him. ‘Don’t worry so much. wewe know what I’m coming over to help you. I’m finished anyway.’ She hung up on him, put her things in the car and drove to his house.
‘Hey…’, he alisema and hugged her instantly. She smiled, ‘Please tell me wewe have at least one thing in your suitcase yet, because we only have about 30 dakika till that bus leaves and it’s at least 15 from here to the studio.’ Hugh blushed, he hadn’t done anything yet. The whole siku he had been thinking about going au rather not going to the party. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to spend time with his friends, he had just hoped that he could spend some time alone with Lisa before he had to get back to London. Preferably alone with Lisa far away from his colleagues and friends. After their little strawberry yogurt game she was all he could think about.
At 1:50pm Hugh called David, ‘Hey David, it’s me. I’m sorry but I don’t think I’m going to be ready in time to catch the bus. Something has come up so…’ ‘Should we wait on you? We can wait for a few minutes…’, David replied, ‘Lisa isn’t here yet either.’ ‘No, it’s fine… wewe guys just go without me. I’m going with my own car and I’ll take Lisa with me. We just called, she hasn’t finished packing yet.’, Hugh smirked, all he alisema was true, he just left out that it was his stuff Lisa was packing now. ‘Okay, then we’ll see wewe guys there I guess! Bye!’, David replied. ‘See wewe later.’, Hugh replied and closed his phone.
He walked into his bedroom where Lisa was frantically filling his suitcase. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to him. ‘Hugh, I’m busy…’, she alisema with fake annoyance. ‘I know’, he alisema and pulled her a little closer. His grip was too strong, she stopped fighting him and turned around so they were facing each other. She put her hands on his chest. ‘You’re really difficult sometimes wewe know.’, she grinned. He kissed her lips, it was something they did very often nowadays. They called it friendly kisses, but they both knew they were zaidi than ‘just friends’. ‘I called David, told him we’re going to the hotel kwa ourselves. So we have a little zaidi time now…’ Lisa smiled and this time she was the one to give him one of their friendly kisses.
At 4pm they finally left his house. They decided to take her car as leaving it at his house would make the press suspicious. It was supposed to be a 3 saa ride to the hotel, but traffic was really bad so it took a whole lot longer. At 9pm they were still about an saa away from the hotel, at least that’s what they thought. They had taken a few ‘short-cuts’, but now they didn’t really know where they were. ‘Hugh? Do wewe have any idea where we are?’, she asked. ‘I-I actually have no idea…’, he replied. ‘We’re almost out of gas and I’m getting tired..’, she mumbled. About ten dakika later they drove into a small village, not the one they were supposed to get to, but at least they could ask where they were. They stopped at what alisema on the outside that it was an hotel and walked into it.
‘Hi, we are…’, Hugh started. ‘I know who wewe are! wewe are Hugh Laurie and Lisa…ehm..’, the receptionist squealed. ‘Edelstein’, Lisa finished. ‘Yes! How can I help you?’, she asked. Hugh blushed, ‘We are kind of Lost actually and the car is almost out of gas.’ ‘O dear, that’s bad! Where do wewe have to go?’, she asked. Lisa handed a map to the woman and pointed at the hotel they were supposed to go. ‘I know that hotel, it’s about an saa and a half away from here. It’s not so many miles, the roads are just very bad.’, the receptionist alisema and started to draw the route on the map, she also gave circled the nearest gas station. Hugh and Lisa thanked the receptionist and walked back to the car. They both sat in their seats, but Lisa didn’t start the car. ‘You okay?’, he asked. ‘I’m really tired and hungry. I haven’t eaten in like twelve hours.’, she replied. ‘Why didn’t wewe tell me?’, he asked, ‘I can drive if wewe want. Do wewe want to go to a restaurant?’ ‘I…’, she started but he interrupted her. ‘You know what, let’s just stay here. They probably have some rooms free and I think we can find something like dinner, we’ll give David a call and tell him we’re coming to the party tomorrow.’, he said. Lisa sighed, ‘You don’t mind?’ He smirked, ‘Not at all.’
They checked into the hotel but found there was only one room left. The room was very small, which meant it was just big enough to squeeze one double kitanda into it. There was also a small bathroom with a toilet and a shower. The hotel didn’t have a restaurant but there was a little duka down the mitaani, mtaa that was still open. Hugh went to get them some chakula while Lisa took a shower.
When he came back Lisa was lying on the bed, her eyes closed listening to her Ipod. Hugh put the bag with the chakula down, pulled his shoes of and climbed onto the bed. He stroke trough her hair and she opened her eyes. ‘You’re back…’, she alisema sleepy. ‘Yes and I’ve got wewe some food.’, he smiled. She was dressed in a pink nightgown, which looked like a summer dress. It was light pink with white lace edges. It was short, barely covering her hips, and really low cut as the only thing covering her breasts were small triangles of fabric. She looked amazing.
Hugh grabbed the bag and gave it to Lisa. In it were some sandwiches, machungwa, chungwa juice, lots of chocolate, strawberries, whip cream and a small beaker of strawberry yoghurt. Lisa smiled, ‘What do wewe think we’re going to do tonight?’, she asked playfully. Hugh blushed, ‘I-I just thought wewe liked chokoleti and you’re a vegetarian and I didn’t know what wewe would want to eat and I knew wewe liked these things and…’ She cut him off kwa kissing his lips lightly. ‘It’s okay Hugh, I was just kidding.’ Hugh’s face turned zaidi red, ‘I knew that…’
She got all the chakula out of the bag and put it on the very small nightstand. They both ate some sandwiches and drunk machungwa, chungwa juisi in silence as they were very hungry. After they were both full Hugh went to take a shower. Lisa stared at the rest of the chakula on the nightstand, there was even chokoleti sauce, she started to eat a chokoleti bar.
Hugh came out of the bathroom after 15 dakika only dressed in sweatpants. Lisa dropped her chokoleti bar and stared at his masculine chest. He laid down inayofuata to her, which was hard as the kitanda was a little small for both of them. They both turned to lay on their sides facing each other. He started to stroke her up and down her back as they talked a little. She snuggled closer to him and played with his chest hair. ‘Hugh?’, she asked worry suddenly audible in her voice. ‘Yes?’, he replied. ‘What is this? This thing between us? What are we?’, she asked. Hugh didn’t know how to answer. ‘We’re colleagues, friends… very good friends…’, he alisema while twirling her hair around his fingers. It was really soft and it smelled so nice. Lisa smiled, ‘Friends?’ Hugh kissed her on the lips yet again, ‘Friends’. They both smiled brightly at each other.
‘Do wewe want some yoghurt?’, he asked playfully. ‘I’d prefer strawberries… and chokoleti sauce’, she grinned. She picked the box of strawberries of the nightstand and gave them to Hugh. Then she picked the chokoleti sauce up and opened it. ‘Too bad we don’t have plates…’, she alisema while she put some of the sauce on Hugh’s chest. ‘Yeah, too bad…’, Hugh replied while she licked the chokoleti of him. He then handed her a strawberry which she ate very quickly. They repeated it a few times before Lisa climbed on juu of him so she could straddle his hips. She licked the chokoleti of his chest but when he handed her another strawberry she told him to eat it instead. He understood, ate the strawberry and pulled her closer and closer to him.
Their eyes fluttered shut when their mouths crashed down on each other as their tongues immediately started their own battle. The mix of strawberries, chokoleti and each other was too much, too good. He didn’t want it to ever stop. Their hands were groping all over each other. They needed this so much. Their tongues kept playing until the need for oxygen was too big. They opened their eyes and stared at each other. Hugh brushed trough her hair. ‘Just Marafiki right?’, she asked. Hugh blushed, ‘I’m really hungry for some whip cream now.’ Lisa smiled and handed the whip cream to him. He pulled Lisa’s nightgown up so he could put the whip cream on her bare belly. He also added some chokoleti sauce. Soon Hugh was on juu of her, her legs wrapped around his waist and their tongues playing again. They tried to reassure each other they were just friends, but the words didn’t mean anything anymore. They made out till deep into the night. It took all of their self control to not rip the remaining clothes of each other and have each other completely, but they made it. They didn’t want to kuvuka, msalaba that line yet. Not when he had to go away so soon.
The inayofuata morning they left the hotel to go to David’s party. They had separate rooms there and people were constantly around them. But when everybody went to kitanda they went to see each other. They talked, cuddled and kissed. It had been an amazing long weekend.
kwa the end of his story she was fast asleep. He smiled at her, she was beautiful even with 2 broken arms, 2 broken legs, 2 broken ribs, lots of bruises and wounds. Her eyes had sparkled and a soft smile was still displayed on her face. He did upendo this woman, he just didn’t know how to not jerk her memory and telling her they weren’t married. Maybe he shouldn’t tell her, maybe he should just go with it until she was at least a little bit better. Maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing that had happened to them…
