"Katlego!"

"Katlego!"

"Zintle...Zintle!"

Katlego's mouth hung open as his heart banged against his chest. His mind drowning in a lake of thoughts as his sanity fought to stay afloat.

His eyes running back and forth, both towards the beautiful, light brown Zintle with the messy, ginger afro, as well as the more slender Zintle with the two blonde afro-like buns in her head.

Katlego standing in the centre of the soccer field as he indecisively watched both of them being pulled farther away from him. The tears in their eyes camouflaged by the heavy rain that randomly bore lighting, pushing his heartbeat's pace to the limit, as the ropes around their waists kept pulling each of them towards the balbao trees on the opposite sides of the soccer field.

Balbao trees that stood in front of the goal posts as black pythons slithered around them. All until Karabo appeared out of the blue and saved the screaming blonde Zintle with the double afro, fighting to regain his pace despite slipping and retaining his balance.

But even after Katlego turned to the other side of the soccer field and rushed to save Zintle with the ginger afro, she soon chose to run after Karabo and the other Zintle; all while the pythons were now viciously slithering towards him only for him to struggle to overcome his slow+motion pace and wake up just when the snakes were about to bite.

So he woke up to an unexpected visitor, the moonlight that had now faintly lit up his room, just enough to illuminate the silhouette of the girl next to him whose body's warmth was slowly crawling into his skin. Though her snores not loud enough to out sound  Caroline and Catherine's joyous and excited giggles from the next room. Maybe as they enjoyed planning his and Karabo's matric ball dance 2 days away.

Though such excitement just made Katlego realize that Karabo might actually take Zintle to the matric ball, so he let out a ragged sigh shortly before clearing his throat and going back to sleep. All this despite the hatred that had now blossomed in his heart, for the thought of Zintle and Karabo's together at the ball, had now given birth to one more desire, to end Karabo and Zintle for once and for all.

Meanwhile at Colette's house, Donnel was woken up by ticklish caresses, only for his startle to arouse soft giggles from Collette's silhouette which he'd made out in this dimly  lit room. That's when she rose briskly from the bed and switched on the light as she went out. Only to come back a few minutes later with clenched fists, walking without qualms, her face lit up with obvious pleasure, just before she dived next to him and places a flash drive in his hand, requesting that he gives it to Karabo urgently, just before she giggled naughtily and placed another kiss above her previous trail of kisses

"I wonder what it is containing..." uttered Donnel as he smilingly indulged in the warmth of her body fidgeting above his. The sensation leaving Jim deluged in a shock of excitement.

"It's certainly not for babies, nor guys who sleep like babes," teased Colette smilingly, "but then again you're really good looking so it's fine."

"Well Colette's, I've always found you attractive ever since I saw that monologue of yours in the tenth grade", said Donnel in a smooth voice, playing ignorant to the guilty voices in his head as he intercepted her kiss. A kiss that left his lips sticky with rose red lipstick, and left his tongue  a bit sour with guilt.

" No don't wipe it," said Donnel playfully jumping out of bed, "unless you wanna do so with your thighs"

"You're quite silly," giggled Colette, "you remind me of Karabo at times," said she as she jumped out of bed and chased him to the bathroom. Where they were met by a blast of cold air from the open  window just before they paused, short of breath, and embraced each other in pursuit of warmth. The bubblegum scent of the bathroom invading their nostrils.

Colette then raised her eyebrows as her hazel eyes gazed deep into Donnel's eyes, which were still smiling at hers.

"Promise me you'll be always be there for me, better than Karabo ever was." Her moist whisper surrounded his lips.

"I promise to always love you, and I'm not just saying that because of these intimate destinations you love to take me too," he laughed and kissed her, running his hands from her neck to her waist.

"Wanna go for a third, in the shower this time? It will an act to tie us together and seal our deal whilst uniting our souls in the process." She softly muttered as a devious smile played in her eyes, just before she took off her long T-dress pyjama and showed him her private beauty once again, arousing his sinful nature once more.

"Oh wait, why you making this sound so..." she kissed him and buried his suspicious quetion

Meanwhile at Caroline's place, Katlego and Karabo's eldest sister, who also happened to be Katlego's favourite sibling...

Katlego woke up breathing heavily, sweat running all over his forehead, as he'd just had another dream. One where Zintle rejected his heart only to rob Karabo's heart from Collette, despite him willingly offering his.

Katlego then rose from his bed and felt the early morning cold embrace him, his eyes groping in the dark as he tried to make out the edges of the bed, before sitting on the front edge, his mind clearly in distress.

"Katlego what's wrong?" Asked Lethabo after flicking the lights on, her eyes lingering all over him before she firmly embraced him from behind, slightly melting his stiff posture as she too looked into the mirror in front of the bed and came across the faraway look in his eyes.

"Just had a lovely nightmare about you that's all," said he as he failed to maintain their 'reflected' eye contact.

"About me? Or Zintle", asked Lethabo, her smile dissolving.

"What are you on about, why must you always be in a foul mood all the time,"asked Katlego, his eyes narrowing with concentration.

" I went through your phone while you were sleeping, I still remember your password Katlego;" said Lathabo assertively

"It was about you, no need to be jealous. You're too cute for this bipolar shit"

"I'm not Jealous, and I'm definitely not bipolar! Don't you dare start with me boo."

"Ooh! Just seven days ago you wanted nothing to do with me yet now you suddenly want me back"

"Do you blame me Katlego, don't make me remind you of what you did..."

"There we go again, let's just go back to bed," said Katlego as he slipped out of her embrace and slid back into the blankets.

"There we go again, let's just go back to bed," said Katlego as he slipped out of her embrace and slid back into the blankets.

"Ooh!, so you can dream about her again, clearly I'm not the only one you're sleeping with"

"Lethabo..." he said just before his voice cracked, and failed to climb up his throat, after choking off his rage.

"I'm honestly tired of this bullishit Katlego, I'm too good for this ish of yours.

***************

Their argument ensued, until it's sound eventually found its way to Caroline's room just behind the wall behind their headboard, who soon, alongside Catherine, came and gave them a counselling session from behind the closed door. Until Katlego finally decided to dismiss Zintle's thoughts from his head and apologized  to Lethabo. An Apology that melted her heart and soon they were all cozy beneath the blankets. Up until shafts of an early sunlight soon found their way past the closed curtains, crawled onto their sheets and restored life and colour into the room.

"Yet you haven't answered me yet," said she as she sightly raised her voice, now sitting on top of him as she smiled and placed his hands on her waist.

"But babes, I've already said yes. We'll be king and queen of that matric ball this coming Saturday, I promise", said Katlego as his eyes glanced into her tender, innocent eyes, surely melting his pride

"That's all I wanted to hear," uttered she in a light laugh, her eyes wandering all over his body, perhaps in thought, while her fingers ran across his chest towards his lips.

" 'Cause if not you then who, we're mos tailored for one another" reassured Donnel with a certain depth in his voice, in a statement that almost made his heart skin a beat, as her long fingernails ran around his chest ticklishly, much to her amusement giggles.

"Ncoooh! My dear Katlego," expressed Lethabo as her short pink braids brushed against his forehead as she lowered her chest and pressed her body against his, also pecking his chin before pressing her succulent lips against his.

"Oh My... excuse me though, my bad!" said Caroline as she apologetically, but slowly rushed out smiling, just after coincidentally barging in at the wrong time, before exiting in very soft giggles

But as they giggled to Karol's coincidence, their eyes held firmly as though they were taken aback down an imaginary journey, down a lane of lovely moments that they'd shared together, his skin still tingling tenuously to the sensation of her skin, his warm breath clashing with hers.

"Now were were we," asked Lethabo imprudently before planting another kiss on his lips, just as the pressure of her booty against his hips and shotgun made him want to close the curtains, lure her to the outskirts of the bed, before scuba diving their sea of ecstasies.
