I love you long time

Samson is young, fit and has a swagger. He has a killer smile and he ain’t afraid to use it. As I walked on the golden sands of Ampinyi beach, this fine specimen greeted me with great confidence, I got the feeling he was well practiced and I was well prepared for the unfolding story.

I got the usual barrage, where are you from, are you alone, do you have a husband. My plan was quite simple, I was not to mention that my ‘country’ was ‘remainer’ London so I stuck with Zimbabwe. It was obvious that I was alone and yes I do in fact have a husband. Samson seemed quite buoyed by my response, so he started telling me a little more about himself. He has a good job in Tokaradi, he comes from the local fishing community and he honed in his fishing skills by age five. I mean, this is impressive stuff.

He asked for my number and wanted to know whether I was free that evening. I was in fact free, but no, we could not spend the evening together. Samson was very gracious and he asked if we could just have photographs instead. He also wanted to show me his prowess on his home turf and I swear he did a near slo-mo like run as they do in Baywatch into the sea. The boy had skill and I hope he meets Miss Rightnow soon enough.
