the past year or so...part 2 ~Capetown~

Capetown was South African. Stunning with a ton of swag. She always had a knowing half-cocked smile that intrigued me.

She was also one of Ghana Girl's closest friends.

GG told me that when she first met her, she hadnt liked her at all. She was a bit alarmed at this person that wrote poetry like she did, loved all the same non-commercial music that she did, this person who was "her" in so many ways.

Then she realised it would be fun to have someone to talk to about intellectual music as opposed to the latest Chris Brown track. To converse with about the breadth of J Ivy's written word in contrast to the depth of Dahlak Braithwaite's spoken word. And then they really hit it off

GG introduced me to her "really cool friend" Capetown in Febuary 2007. At first I was a little cautious of her and her knowing, half-cocked smile. Then we got to talking and I began to think

"This girl is kinda cool".

Somewhere between the end of march and the middle of april, I asked GG for "permission" to date her friend since we had this thing NOT going on between us. She said it was cool...matter of fact she encouraged me, said it was a "fantastic idea".

We went out a few times, but when I kissed her I realised I couldnt be with her. When I kissed her, there was nothing.

.

I had to end it.

She was very understanding. She had never thought it was a good idea to date since I had liked her friend first. So all was good in the hood. And we remained friends.

This was before the drunken kiss i mentioned in my previous post. Making Capetown half the reason for my title; "Friend Kisser"
