Did Your Plan A and B Workout?

By God’s grace, he got away with both Plans - A and B. Paul was in Mbarara with one of the brewery companies to cover an event. It was a weekend assignment – leave Friday and return Sunday. And whenever Paul has a trip upcountry, he ‘imports’ - meaning he brings along one of his girlfriends for company.

Arrangements were made with Plan A, a student at the university who accepted, but come Friday, she calls with bad news. Lecturer has decided to throw a test on Saturday and she won’t be able to make it. But Plan A not having worked out, did not bother Peter, for Peter always has a Plan B. Well not just a Plan B, but, Plan C, D – in fact, a plan that can see him through the entire alphabet.

Plan B was game and without hesitation, quickly throws some clothes into a bag and is at the anointed meeting place in less than an hour. And with that they set off – he driving, Tight sitting in the passenger seat and in the back, Plan B and Tights Girlfriend.

They had been booked into Lake View Hotel and as the function did not start till the following day, they took themselves off to make merry – beer and pork in the local bufunda. As the night wore on, he gets a call. It’s Plan A, and she’s to the point. “I’m at the bus station, come and pick me.” Obviously Peter had heard her right, but he just needed to hear it again before sweat and panic set in. “Say what?!?” Again, Plan A answers back: “I’m at the bus station. Are you coming to pick me or what? The test was cancelled so I hopped onto a bus.”

A couple of seconds later, panic and diarrhea set in. This time, he didn’t have a backup plan save for a mess of confusion and fright. What was he going to do? After some consultation with Tight, he drove to the station, picked her and checked her into Lake View Hotel – on the third floor. Meanwhile, he was residing on the second floor with Plan B.

Luckily, Plan A had developed a headache on the journey down and was not keen on going out except, to stay in the room, order room service and watch TV. So he left her there and went back to town to re-join Tight, Tights Girlfriend and Plan B. As the night drew to a close and they returned to Lake View, Paul by then had drawn up a tactical plan. He clambered into bed with Plan B. However, no sooner had the resident cockerel started doing its ‘dawn is round the corner’ kalango, than Paul was dressed, took himself up to the third floor and slithered into bed with a very wide Plan A whom he told they’d been drinking all night.

When Plan B woke up to an empty bed she figured that as it was the day of the function, Paul had woken early to travel with the brewery to take pictures.

That evening, the function was at the hotel poolside after which they would hit Club Ambience. He avoided them both but made sure he plied Plan B with enough vodka rendering her unable to go clubbing. So he went with Plan A. While at the club, he told her the brewery wanted him to go along with them to Bushenyi so she would have to go back by bus. And it’s the same spiel he gave Plan B moments after slinking into bed with her like a thief after having spent the night with Plan A. After a short nap, he packed, left her transport money, went downstairs, did the same to Plan B and got out of Mbarara as fast as possible.
