THE HIDDEN MAGIC IN A BOTTLE OF COCA-COLA

It was yet another Friday evening, the 8th of November 2013. Feeling exhausted and thirsty after a long day's work at the office, coupled with the twice-a-day bumpy experiences I get while cruising through the Valley of the Shadows of the dreaded Maccobar road in Port Harcourt.

All i could think about was was that tantalizing aroma emanating from the chimney of my girlfriend's kitchen.

Upon arrival at my crib, Few feets away from her transparent doorstep I suddenly realised how right I was in my taught; as countless streams of saliva trickled down my throat in response to the captivating sight of sweat that dripped down the curves of her body.

There she was...my Dark Angel,

Much lighter than Buitmen yet highly refined than DPK.

Much darker than AGO yet highly combustible than PMS in the throat of those that thirst.

There she was...seated majestically in the middle compartment of my fridge.

I was astonished how sudden my steps doubled to grab hold of her slender waist.

Only to find myself wrapped in her arms some few seconds later with an ice - cold hug from her and a questionable hunger kiss from me on the side of her neck.

Tilting her head towards the side of mine...all she said next was "Kpeff!!!" Off went her cork.

Those 5 letter word immediately short-circuited my brain... making me bypass all existing protocols (e.g. taking a bath and slipping into my pajamas)

The very first sip from her lips drove me into extacy giving me the needed inspiration to compile the article below.

Dedicated to

My dark and lovely Lady...

My jewel of an estimable value of N60 per bottle...

My sexy Coca-Cola...
