A Weekend With Gleaming Biceps
So instead i lay sprawled on the opposite couch, in sexiest sprawling position possible, as we talked about relationships and i told him i didnt want a commitment, i just wanted to have fun without the headaches. It was like telling Charlie he was going to the chocolate factory.

Awembuwa Awembuwa
Secret#8: when Jasmine asked me to talk to Ahmed for her, I totally knew what I was doing when I flirted with him, and I got a sorta kick out of him asking me out. Then of course I totally paid for it when he dumped me for Lara.

Believing In Chocolate
I have a tendency to think of irritating songs at inappropriate times; for example, I woke up a few days ago singing "Baby Got Back" but got really pissed when I couldn't remember the second verse, so when I got to work I downloaded the lyrics and learnt them by heart.

Crash
I've found myself a guy who can cook AND talk about fashion AND fight over who's sexier; Terrence Howard or Don Cheadle (I'd have to go for Terrence, those eyes! those tear-filled smokey eyes! Oh Lord!)

Cried the Night Together
And here she is, telling me things i could never put into words, this frustration, this need to get it over with, the shame, the things we do to keep his memory, as if it's wrong, as if it's sad, but it's not.
