THE G’S THOUGHTS: GENTLEMAN SERIES

I was sitting at my favorite place at Java, something I was now accustomed to. It was almost 6pm when she brought my favorite coffee as i was looking through theyouthingmagazine.co.ke magazine’s articles and reviews. The Gentleman’s series had really caught my attention. I said thanks as she walked away. After all she wasn’t the kind i admired. The coffee was perfect and even better was the feeling accompanied with this article. After reading through, i looked out at the beautiful city lights as they welcomed the warm night.


This day though was quite peculiar, almost everyone had a reddish vibe. Even from Java you’d notice the customers had ‘love in the air’ as they say. Sipping on my beverage was the only love I’d think of as a bachelor. In the midst of my empty thoughts, as I raced my eyes through different angles of the street, i landed on a girl whose hair and awesome glasses caught my attention. She’d just been dropped off by an Uber. I’m avoiding to say she had a perfect body shape because most of you my readers will say that is what I of course noticed first.


Without intent to covet, i admired her dressing and the way she looked. But something didn’t seem so right. Almost 10 minutes past her alight, she was uncomfortably looking through her phone and looking disappointed. Another uber stopped at her location, her friend came out, hugged and talked for what seemed like a minute then she went in and they drove off. She still was left stranded, gazing at her phone and stamping her foot. That looked pretty disappointing to me.


As a man, you have to think fast and as a gentleman i had to think straight. My curiosity about her situation was so high, i exhausted my beverage faster than my usual rate. After 37 minutes of being stranded, i thought, ” she’ll probably head back to her empty dorm / place to sob mainly for two reasons. 1, she was so disappointed that her date stood her up. 2, she wouldn’t have a perfect narrative to her girlfriend who by then was probably having some great evening with her boyfriend.


As a man i thought she’d probably have a 3rd reason to which she wasted out her perfectly put makeup and never landed on a date/ admirer or even luckily get laid. As a gentleman i thought she’d probably have a 4th reason, that she was in need and she wanted a guy indeed. So i paid my bill, for awesome service offered a tip, fastened my tie, took my mini briefcase, bought a 3$ rose outside the Java and took my chase. After all, i was indeed a gentleman.
