HONEY IN THE CITY SEASON 2: CHP 8– Johnson goes to Malindi
Goodluck gave his team a few days to think on questions they needed clarified or to come up with ideas on how to make the deal foolproof.
For Goodluck, it was time to make his woman believe fully that he was a well connected business man with deals all over. He also took his time to treat her even more special. He gave her more time, despite having other ladies he was trying to woo.
For Johnson, however, he went offline with the number that they used to communicate with Joyce so that Joyce would be unable to reach him.
Elsewhere, Joyce was at a loss on what to do. She had been trying to call Johnson but unable to reach him. She thought probably he got into some problem and lost his phone, so, she adopted a wait and see approach in the hope that he will return online and communicate with her on what transpired. However, with each passing hour, she got more and more anxious.
Back in Nairobi, Johnson went with his life as usual. He went back to the construction site where he was working. He loved the job due to its physical nature as it also kept him fit. Carrying stones around, bags of cement, and other heavy construction materials was a thing he really enjoyed. He loved to feel powerful.
Johnson was also his boss’ favorite since he was very hardworking on the site. The contractor, whose name was Samuel Njenga, loved to go places with Johnson as he would also work with him as a loader whenever needed on his double cabin which he loved going around with.
Johnson went along with his work thinking how they shall get the flowers that Goodluck wanted so that they can use them for their deal.
“Guys, guys, get busy, here is the boss…” someone said to the men who were working alerting them that Samuel was around. However, for Johnson, he knew well Samuel never came to the site unless to see something important or to tell him that they had a trip to make.
“Johnson, I want to go with you in Malindi to see a client. Go and get your items ready we need to leave.” Samuel told Johnson. Johnson suddenly remembered how he went with his boss in Coast and made two girls fight over him.
“When are we leaving?” Johnson asked Samuel.
“Right away, hey! Why are you even asking? Get in my car and let us go.” Samuel told Johnson.
Johnson did not want to be away for so long since they had a plan.
“For how long are we going?” Johnson asked.
“We will leave now. MY Landcruiser is ready. I am from servicing it. The time now is 10:30 am. By 5 or 6 pm we should be in Malindi. Then the following day we go to Mtwapa then head for Kwale. After there we come back to Nairobi.” Samuel told Johnson.
“Ok.” Johnson said with a smile, “We can go to my place I pick a few items.”
Samuel also loved Johnson because he knew how to drive and he would help him if tired.
Together, they left the construction site. Johnson went and picked a few of his items. He then got an old phone he had been using which was not a smartphone and put an airtel line in it. There was a lady he wanted to call in Malindi and tell her that they were going to be in Malindi that evening.
As Johnson climbed down the stairs to go to Samuel’s car, he called the lady whose name was Priscila Wakesho.
JOHNSON: Hi, Wakesho, by tomorrow I will be, no, not tomorrow, today evening I will be in Malindi. We are coming with my boss. Are you around?
WAKESHO: You are welcome, you know where I live.
JOHNSON: Hahaha, as if I could even forget. Ngala estate, behind Prestige Holiday Resort in Malindi. I will sleep at your place tonight.
WAKESHO: You are much welcome.
JOHNSON: See you then.
Johnson terminated the call. He got inside his boss’ land cruiser double cabin. Samuel left immediately.
“We are late, by now we were supposed to be in Mtito Andei.” Samuel said as he headed for Eastern Bypass so that to avoid the traffic jam in Nairobi city center.
“When we get to Athi River, I will drive.” Johnson told his boss.
“Alright.” Samuel said, “The guy we are going to see in Malindi was expecting us by noon but I have already told him we cannot make it on time.”
When they got to Athi river, Johnson took the wheel. He drove at a constant speed of 100 km/h, sometimes going up to 140, but other times doing slightly above 60 due to lorries on the road as his boss relaxed.
“Go past Mtito, we will eat our lunch in Voi then I will take over from there.” Samuel told Johnson.
“Yes, boss.” Johnson said.
As Johnson drove, he could see some funny looking flowers scattered across the savanna as it had rained some light rain. That was when he got the idea of how they shall get the flowers in the wilderness of Kajiado to use to convince the lady who was being targeted by Goodluck.

Finally, they got to Malindi town at around 6:30 pm.
“Here, take this.” Samuel told Johnson giving him Kshs 3,000, “Sort yourself where to sleep. I am going to get a hotel of my standard.”
“Don’t worry boss, in fact, you can just let me alight at Ngala estate, I will get a place around there to sleep.” Johnson told Samuel.
Samuel let Johnson alight at Ngala estate. As soon as Johnson stepped down, he crossed the road and headed for Wakesho’s place.
Wakesho lived in a house which had its own compound. Johnson got inside the compound, walked slowly to her door and knocked.
Wakesho had already gotten back home from work. She was waiting for Johnson. She saw him through the window walking and she smiled knowing what sort of a night she was to have with him. Wakesho stood up, walked to the door to open for Johnson.
“Welcome, darling!” Wakesho told Johnson excitedly while giving him a tight hug. Johnson gave her a tight hug, one hand around her back and another pressing her large buttocks. Wakesho had a medium height, slightly shorter than Johnson but with large buttocks and rounded hips. She was also so light skinned one would confuse her for being an Indian girl despite her being a pure Taita lady.
“Thank you, you become beautiful with each day. it is like you are getting younger.” Johnson told Wakesho.
“Stop flattering me. I will be 34 by next month remember.” Wakesho said as she picked Johnson’s bag. she took it to her bedroom.
“One can even say you are 24, the beauty in you, smooth skin, light skin I even think if we switch off the lights in a dark house, I will have you as a source of light. Eh! God must have created you immediately after having breakfast.” Johnson told her.
“Stop flattering me.” Wakesho said shyly.
“I am saying the truth. Look even at your nipples, who would think you have a 14 years old daughter?” Johnson said pointing at her nipples that were pressing her white vest that she was wearing.
“Imagine my daughter is now taller than me? You should see her when she comes visiting. She will be bigger than me. Even her body is growing bigger.” Wakesho said.
“May I see her photo? I last saw her photo…eeeh… I cannot even remember.” Johnson said.
Wakesho however served Johnson with some cold fruit juice first.
“What would you like to eat? Or should I just cook for you Wali wa nazi and some meat stew?” Wakesho asked Johnson as she got for him her smartphone.
“Yes, just cook that for me.” Johnson said. He looked at Wakesho’s daughter’s photos. Sure enough, she was slightly taller than her mother but not as big as her mother.
“Her biological dad was tall, very tall. He was 6 feet 5 inches tall.” Wakesho said as Johnson scrolled the photos.
“That man must have been very tall.” Johnson said feeling slightly jealous since he was not as tall.
“But he was a womanizer. I hated him for that.” Wakesho said.
“That is why I am faithful to you. I get many girls who admire me but I have chosen to stick to you. In my heart, it is just you.” Johnson pulled Wakesho gently to lie on his broad chest and told her, “In fact, I feel even more love for you now that you are a mother. Unlike single girls who pretend to be holy yet they aborted numerous times so that to pretend to be pure, I did rather date a single mother like you knowing that you chose to bring a life to this world rather than terminate it while still in the womb. God will reward you so much for that.” Johnson said.
Johnson’s words melted Wakesho’s
