For a woman of the night who operates in the 24-hour booming
economy that is Mtwapa, the sight of a foreigner is always inviting,
since most are said not to be as tight-fisted as the locals.
And if the foreigner has a car, his premium rises because the hustles
of getting into a matatu early in the morning or in the middle of the
day are eliminated. Besides, they pay lavishly, including taxi fare, and
are not unknown to throw in a decent meal and drinks. Even better is
that they could fall in love and sweeten the deal with a wedding ring.
But for one sex worker, the foreigner she met turned out be more than
she had bargained for, causing her to flee from lady luck in her
birthday suit.
The night had been 'dry' for her so the pick-up
had taken place past 6am, meaning that their entrance into the
hotel was
noticed by the workers streaming in for their daytime shift and those
leaving. Being the norm at these hotels, no one paid much attention to
her skimpy dress, understanding that for her, it was just another day at
the office.
"About 15 minutes after their entrance, we heard a
woman screaming from somewhere inside the building," said a front-desk
attendant at the hotel.
But before they could act, a naked woman
bolted down the stairs and sprinted past the reception screaming, her
clothes and shoes in her hands. She did not stop running until she was
outside the hotel compound.
"Then a white man came out in his
underwear, stood at the reception, looked at the running woman and burst
into loud laughter," said the attendant, who had checked-in the tourist
the day before. In response to the curious glances from hotel staff,
other guests and a few beach boys who were around, he said, 'But I had
not even started'," the attendant conferred.
Meanwhile, the
woman was in pains to explain what had transpired back in that expensive
room to taxi operators outside the hotel. A small crowd had also
gathered out of the blue, with the journalistic oriented amongst them
using their mobile phones to capture the image for posterity.
"I
have been in this business for more than ten years but I have never
encountered what I saw inside that room. That man is too 'big' for
life!" she said amid gasps of air.
"If I had not run away, I
would have been dead within minutes or required stitches to repair the
damage. That white men is no joke" she offered as the crowd went wild
with laughter.
She, however, had no intention of refunding the
tourist, saying she needed to be compensated for 'shock'. "I readily
agreed to his offer. I got into his car and we headed for a nice hotel, "
said the visibly distraught woman to the tuk-tuk operators who offered
her comfort after her ordeal.
