After all the publicity, from the night before, in the news paper and on TV. We were really having a time, trying to keep up with business. I had to help with sales, and answer all kinds of questions from the customers. I even had to do some modeling, for some of Mr. Atati’s friends and wealthy patrons, after hours. I really didn’t mind, I felt like I was paying Mr. Atati back, for his kindness.

Today I just finished a second workout, this week, with Kwame. He said I needed it to calm down and relax, and I must admit, I do feel more relaxed. After the workout, I took my shower, and just sat there enjoying the water splashing on me. Kwame came in, and ask if I had drowned, said he heard a lot of water. I stood up and turned off the shower, and told him I had just been enjoying the feel of the water. While I dried off and got dressed, we talked about different things. He then called Quophi to come and pick me up, I thanked Kwame, and got in the car.

As we drive home, Quophi ask how things had gone at the gym. I told him things went great, and that I really need that time at the gym. He laughed and ask if this past week was the reason, I just said, did you really have to ask. We arrived at home, and I then went with Quophi to the kitchen.

Once we had lunch ready, and I had set the table, Quophi called Mr. Atati and told him lunch was ready. Once Mr. Atati arrived, we all sat down for lunch. I ask him how things had gone this morning, and he said it was busy, but nothing like last week. We both laughed at that answer, and kept on eating.

Once the meal was over, Mr. Atati returned to his store. And Quophi and I cleaned up the kitchen. He ask me what I had planned for the rest of the afternoon, and I tod him nothing. He said he was going for a swim at the beach, and would I like to come with him. I didn’t have to think about that, I love the beach, so I said sure. I ask him what I need to bring, and he told me to change into my swim trunks, and to bring a towel, and anything I need to drink. He said he had a cooler ready, so I could put my drinks in the cooler.

He let Mr. Atati know, that he was taking me to the beach. I quickly changed and got my things together, and we went down to the car. Once at the beach, we found a cabana, and left our stuff there, then headed to the ocean. I quickly got in the water, and Quophi followed. We did some swimming, just splashing around, and Quophi got a pleasure out of dunking me a couple of times. Have to admit, the guys as strong as an ox, as they say.

When we got out of the water, and headed for the cabana, I noticed everyone looking at us. When I looked around, I realized I was the only white person around. I lurned that the beach we were on, is not part of the usual tourist beach. I lurned the beach is used mostly by the average local people. While we were there, a few of Quophi’s friends came over, and he introduced me. I was invited back, by a number of Quophi’s friends. We spent about three hours at the beach, and we really had a great time together.

We went to one of the showers on the beach, to wash off the saltwater and sand. Quophi really embarrassed me, while I was showering, he pulled down my trunks. He just laughed and said he was giving everyone something to remember. That was the last time, I untied the ties on my swimming trunks to shower. We waked to the car, and headed back.

Once back at the apartment, I shower with soap, and got dressed. I knew we would have to start getting the evening meal ready soon. I joined Quophi in the kitchen, to help with the meal and set the table. We chatted about the beach, and his friends. He said he hoped he didn’t ruin it for me, when he pulled my trunks down. I just laughed, and said it won’t happen again, and he ask if that was a challenge.

We had the meal ready a little after five o’clock, so Quophi called Mr. Atati. He arrived shortly after, and got cleaned up , before joining us for supper. He ask how our trip to the beach had gone. Quophi.told him it went well, and that we both had a great time. I commented on meeting Quophi’s friends, and being invited back anytime. Mr. Atati ask where he had taken me, and he said where he always goes. Mr. Atati then ask me what I thought of the beach, I told him it was great, and that the people were really friendly. He said he was glad I enjoyed the beach.

Once we finished the meal, Mr. Atati went to his room, and Quophi and I cleaned up the mess. He told me he was glad, I had told Mr. Atati that I had a great time and enjoyed the beach. He said he thought Mr. Atati, thought he should have taken me to the tourist beach. I ask if the tourist beach was crowded, and he said yes, it seems everyone wants to be part of the action on the tourist beach. I said not me, I want to go back to your beach, and that really pleased him.

After we cleaned everything and the kitchen, I went to my apartment, and Quophi to his. I went in and turned on the TV, then went to the bathroom and washed out my swim trunks. I wanted to be ready, the next time Quophi wanted to take me to the beach. While in the bathroom, I changed into my lounging shorts, and went out to watch TV. I got a soft drink, and sat in the lounge chair to watch TV. I didn’t have to change channels, the program that was on, was about the countries beaches.

I heard a knock at the door, I got up and went to the door. When I opened the door, there stood Quophi. He was wearing a robe and slippers, and ask if he could come in, I told him sure, that I was just relaxing with the TV on. He said he wasn’t sleepy, and thought he would check with me, and see what I was doing. He said he would like to talk, so we could get better acquainted, and establish a better friendship. I agreed, and started answering all his questions. After I finished my “life story”, I started asking him about his childhood. I ask about what it was like growing up in Ghana, and how things were now.

We talked for over two hours, about ourselves and what we had to look foreword to in life. Quophi looked at his watch, and said it’s late, I had better be going. I got up and shook hands, then said Goodnight calling him friend. He did the same, then headed to his apartment. After he left, I couldn’t help but think what a great evening.

I went to the bathroom, and got ready for bed. Then went to the bedroom, took off my lounging shorts, and crawled in bed.
