chapter 5

The Zone

Kamo and Ronald

The Zone looked busy as always and Kamo looked around to check if there are familiar faces until she saw Ronald coming towards her. She really looked beautiful and all eyes were on her and that made Ronald feel good to be joined by the most beautiful lady in the room.

"You look lovely," Ronald said taking in her appearance once more.

"Thank you," Kamo responded. Have you been waiting long?"

"No, even if I had to wait for another two hours, I was going to do it for you."

"Flattery will not get you anywhere Ron. Do you mind if I call you Ron?"

"Ron….hmm, sounds lovely, my mom calls me Roni, my friends call me Ron, I guess I won’t mind you calling me Ron."

"I have booked a private lounge where we can sit and enjoy dinner without people starring at us."

"Are you scared of people?" Kamo asked looking straight into Ronald’s eyes.

"No, I am not scared, but I would like us to have an uninterrupted dinner."

"What do you mean having an uninterrupted dinner?"

"Since you came in here all eyes are on us and I don’t feel comfortable when people look at me like that."

Kamo laughed and said to Ronald.  "Relax, I have a confession to make. Many people that are starring at us is because they know me. I am a regular here; I come each week with my friends. Maybe they are surprised that today I am here with a friend of the opposite sex."

Ronald looked disappointed. 'Why didn’t you tell me that you knew this place? I would have chosen another place?'

'Don’t worry, The Zone according to me is one of the places that you cannot outlive, I did not want to disappoint you and besides, I love their food.'

'If you say so, I am a bit relieved but I was going to feel good if I have taken you to a place that you have never been." Ronald said holding Kamo’s hand walking towards the private lounge.

"You have Ron, you have booked a private lounge which I have never been to as when I come here with my friends we go to the public area, eat and dance to the music."

The mood in the private lounge was different, the place was well lit, smooth music that goes with the night, and each couple had a private space where they sit uninterrupted.

"Wow, Ron, this is lovely, I can’t believe that the Zone had a place like this? I have been coming here since it opened and I didn’t know that they have such a lovely place like where we are now. Come on how did you know about this?"

"To tell you the truth Kamo, I did not know either. It is my first time at the Zone, I had a chat with one of my friend asking him of an area where I can sit comfortable enjoying dinner with a friend and he recommends this place. I called them and said to them I want to book a private table and all were fully booked but they said there is a private lounge if I want to sit in a space where I don’t get interruptions and I booked it."

"That sounds expensive, do you want me to help pay my share? I would not mind you know?"

"Kamo, don’t worry, I invited you and I would not have booked this place if I cannot afford it. Relax and let’s order some wine while we are thinking of what to eat. You know I can’t believe that I am having dinner with you."

"Why is that Ron?"

Ronald laughed and said to Kamo, "Do you remember the day at the airport, you were so angry and I said to myself this woman is beautiful even when she is angry and I wouldn’t mind to go out with her."

"Wow…wait a minute, don’t get ahead of yourself Ron, we are not here on a date but just to enjoy dinner and talk like people. And what makes you think I will be interested in dating you?"

"First you agree that I drive you to your work the day you lost your luggage at the airport. Secondly, when I dropped you at your offices, you turned back and look if I was looking at you which I was looking at you, thirdly, the day that I called you asking you to join me to this dinner your voice sounded so happy that I called. Fourthly, you agreed to go out with me. Do you want me to continue counting further why I think you are going to date me?"

"Hold your horses, Ron, all that you have said does not count to anything. Let’s just say you were lucky that when you ask I was also in a space when I needed a break from work. I am not looking forward to dating anyone at the moment and I will propose that we order food, wine and dine and talk about general topics as we start this friendship."

"Come on Kamo, do you want to tell me that you don’t have a little kind of feeling that you have towards me? To tell you the truth, since that day at the airport all I think of is you, your smile and the smell of your perfume. I have seen beautiful girls in my life but not as beautiful as you."

"Ron, you look like a good young man and you don’t want to get mixed up in my world. It is very complicated."

"What is very complicated when a man loves a woman and would like to spend the rest of his life with? What is complicated in that?"

"Ron, I am not who you think I am, I have so many baggage that you wouldn’t like to know about and if you know, you would not want anything to do with me," Kamo said that and Ron noticed pain in her eyes.

"Kamo, all of us have pasts and that we can’t change. But that does not mean when you meet someone you like you must stop living because of your past. I believe past paves way for the future to happen. I don’t believe your past can be so bad that prevents you from getting into a relationship or at least try?"

"You know what Ron, let’s leave this discussion for another day.  Tonight I just want to enjoy good food and good music to take a break from my work. Ron, why did you choose to work at the airport anyway?"

"I wanted to be a pilot and I couldn’t make the cut since my height was not what they were looking for, yes I am tall but not tall enough to be a pilot and my science was not that good when I matriculated. Instead of me giving up I applied for aeronautical engineering and graduated on top of my class and find myself working at the airport. I started at the bottom as a trainee until now, where I am the head of airport security not like security guards, but security systems that are operational and sometimes I helped when customers have problems like the day I met you. Is not actually my job, I help whenever I can. There you heard about me. Anything else?"

"It sounds interesting, a wannabee pilot ended up being an aeronautical engineer/ head of security. Not bad at all, at least you still see planes every day." Kamo said that jokingly and laughed.

"Yeah you are quite right, I see them every day and I ride them each time I have a break, I like to travel and since I don’t pay the full amount, I invest in visiting lovely places, sleep in good hotels and enjoy food, you should join me sometime."

"Join you someday? Kamo asked thinking that Ronald might have made some mistake. What about your girlfriend or wife? What are you going to tell her?"

"Girlfriend or wife? Wow, if I had any of such I wouldn’t be here with you tonight. I am a very principled person and when I get into a relationship I don’t mix things. I put my whole into that relationship."

"Sounds interesting. Kamo was getting moved by the music they were playing in the background. Why are you single? I mean a handsome young man like you should have someone by his side."

"Let’s just say, I was unlikely when it comes to love and I hope you are going to end that, you seem to me like a woman who can make any man’s heart beat faster than it should lie what I am going through especially now."

Kamo laughed so loud where Ronald felt a bit uncomfortable. "You know what Ron, you are such a smart young man and I can see where you are going. Remember I told you earlier relationship is off limit, for now, I just need to enjoy spending this time with you. Listen to the beautiful music they are playing. I feel like dancing."

"Ok ok… I won’t say anything about relationships tonight for the sake of us enjoying dinner and each other," Ronald held his mouth. "I am sorry I did not mean it like that."

"Do you feel like dancing Kamo?"

"Yes, I would love to dance, another reason that makes me love this place is their music."

"Oh…" Ronald held Kamo’s hand and lead her to the dance floor, it was only the two of them. Ronald held Kamo closer to him and they started to move side by side in sync with the music. At that moment Kamo was smelling the lovey cologne on Ronald’s body and it felt so good. He is a man but surely he smells nice and she could feel his heartbeat next to her. This man is fine, she didn’t realise that she said that loudly.

"What did you say Kamo?" Ronald asked as he did not hear clearly.

"I was saying this song is lovely," she was a bit embarrassed about what she just said.

"Well, I am loving that I am dancing with the most beautiful woman in the whole world. You know Kamo you will forgive me but what I am feeling right now is out of this world. I feel like kissing you all over, I feel like laying you in this table and making love to you, I feel like my body can explode. I am so in love with you woman and is tough that I don’t think I will be able to get you out of my mind. Your smell, your touch, your looks, look at you Kamo, you are such a precious jewel."

Kamo’s body was so hot and she could feel that she wanted this man. She hadn't had sex in a while and she has not ever had such a feeling about a man like what Ron is doing to her. Could this be the real love they talk about? She has dated men in different classes but this young man has such an effect on her and she does not want to lose control of herself over a man, she knows better. "Ron, please stop, you are making me to lose myself," Kamo said.

"I want you to lose yourself over me. I want you to feel safe on my arms.  I want you to admit that you are feeling the same way as I do. I want you to give us a chance to try this thing. I am in love with you Kamogelo Mmusi. I fell in love with you that day at the airport and I have never felt like this in my life. Please say you will give us a chance."

Kamo was feeling so helpless and she did not know what to do. Her knees were shaking and she could feel that she wanted Ronald. Likely at the private lounge, there was a bedroom adjourning where they were seated.

Ronald took Kamo’s hand and led her to the bedroom.

He started kissing her all over and Kamo felt her blood running through. She felt so hot, she felt helpless. Ronald was taking his time preparing the beautiful woman with him. He had mastered the art of foreplay and the rewards that come with it. He is not one of those men who just want to penetrate a woman without first allowing the woman’s body to be at sync with what he is feeling.

He took off Kamo’s dress and underneath she was not wearing any panty which was to Ronald’ surprise but he did not care. He kissed her all over and he could feel his manhood eager to penetrate Kamo but he wanted her to be ready. Kamo was lying in bed so helpless whispering to Ronald that she wants him to take her.

She unzipped Ronald’s pants and she put her hand on Ronald’s penis. Wow the guy was gifted, he looked beautiful in there and that made her want him more and she was so wet ready for him.

Ronald finally got in and wow, it was so smooth and he felt something he had never before. Just the thought of him inside this woman made the pleasure so unbearable. Their bodies moved together sideways and he was making love to her slowly as he wanted to enjoy every pleasure with her.

Kamo on the other side was feeling out of this world. Where has this guy been? She asked herself. She has dated men before but not like this. This man knows how to really make love to a woman. She felt like she was on another planet. He was not only gifted but he also knows how to make use of his body. Ronald did not want to put all his weight on her, so he held her closer and put her on top of him and the two of them joined each other in a duet and they could feel that the pleasure was out of this world. They enjoy each other until both of them come at the same time and lay helpless in bed.

They lie side by side with no one saying anything.
