"I am sorry about my family" He apologies while tailing me with a trolley at Woolworths.
"No biggie and it's my half family not necessarily yours" I reply picking the Woolworths crisps and placing them in the trolley.
"I feel bad...I just wanted to assure you" He continues muttering.
"Let's talk about this in the car. I am done, let me pay" I lead the way to the till.
Fortunately, there was no long queue just two people before me.
I open the passenger door.
"What's going on Deya?" His voice is firm.
"Nothing" I glance at the view outside the car. I keep the door open to show that I am not willing to sit and talk. " I have to get home".
"You are a house away. Did I do something wrong?" His voice is cracking with emotions.
"No...I am just busy and adjusting to this new family routine. A lot has happened..." I try to explain myself without giving myself away.
"Precisely why I feel like we are slipping away," He remarks glancing my way. I don't glance back.
"What are you saying?" I lazily shut my eyes.
"Look at me" He instructed me with his deep husky voice.
I swallow hard, why is my body betraying me. I am trying to act disinterested in him right now. I am trying to push him away not pull him in. I turn my head and glance at his face, not his eyes. I don't want to be seen right now. I am walking on the ice of lies.
"Do you still love me?" His voice is soft and sentimental.
Why is He sounding so husky and sexy? His dark full lips part and purse together. He licks his lips. I swallow hard and gaze at his face. I lean in on his face and capture his lips with pressure, a smash my lips on his plump lips. I part from him when he deepens the kiss.
He grabs my face and kisses me with pressure and his tongue slither in my mouth. I allow our tongues to dance. Our lips part and liplock. They part and he bit my lower lip with pressure and I let small a moan escape from my mouth. He savagely pulls from me leaving my lips parted and my eyes closed. I open my eyes and meet his passionate eyes gazing at me. We are both breathing heavily.
"I have to go" I breathlessly comment with my eyes on him.
"When will I see you again?" He asks in a huskier mood.
"I don't know" I answer truthfully.
"Let me kiss you then..." He slowly leans his face.
"Yes...." I feel my chest move up and down heavily. Fuck this damn car!
His lips brush mine softly. I part my lips allowing him to place his lips in between my lips. Our lips softly brush each other dancing in a back and forth motion. Our kissing is gentle and loving.
"I want you" I whisper in between his lips.
"Let's go to your room" He suggests.
My heart stopped but my body is aching for him.
"I moved out" I answer softly with my eyes closed and my forehead on his forehead.
"Fuck..." He cusses but his voice is soft, deep and sensual. He heaves a deep sigh.
"I guess this kiss must be enough" I whisper.
He kisses me.
"I guess"
We pull each other in each other's embrace tightly. We tear from each other after a moment.
"I will call you later..." He gazes at me and I nod softly and smile at him.
I open the four further and alight from the car. I walk towards home, I turn around and see that his car is still parked there. I open the gate and close the gate.
"I am back!" I announce my arrival and no one answers. I bet they are in their bedroom.
"Have you told him about the baby?" I hear a voice behind. I startle and jump. "Sorry"
I see Kim standing by the kitchenette.
"No..." I answer him feeling baffled. Aren't he and mom pillow talking every day? Argh! Old people can be weird.
"Are you planning to?" He asks sceptically
"Yeah...probably after the delivery" I purse my lips.
"Okay...but will toy be able to keep the pregnancy a secret when you are dating?" He sips his coffee.
"Ah...I will try my best" I put the plastic bags on the counter and start packing the snacks.
"How will you do that?" He pokes
"I will see" I don't know how but why is he piling me with questions.
" I am asking you these questions because being pregnant needs you, to be honest, to have a support system. I mean, you can't worry about how you will hide it if you are...I was thinking that if your pregnancy shows, I can make calls and you can only submit the work but not attend classes. It's a plan B that I and your mother thought you can use if your plan does not go through" He heaves a deep sigh.
"Okay. I will keep it in mind" I purse my lips. They thought this through.
"You must know that it's all about you and you can change your mind. Because this is going to be hard, your boyfriend's family is nosy" He remarks.
"This is why during your recess, we will be in Giyani where there will be less interaction" Mom speaks and walk towards us.
"I miss home" I purse my lips. I do need a change of scenery. "When are we leaving?" I ask excitedly
"You seem excited by the idea. Tomorrow evening" Kim concludes. "I will sleep in your house again, it's been a while" His eyes sparkle with passion.
"Ew! " I gag and walk away. They chuckle softly. I turn and see mom leaning to Kim. They look adorable. I think I am starting to like this Kim guy for my mom.
I climb the stairs. My phone rings. Musa is calling. I walk into my bedroom.
"Love..." I try to sound sweet
"Mmm, the afternoon kiss did wonders to you" I hear his sweet voice.
"Yes..." I lie on the bed and smile.

"Did you pack everything you need? " Mom asks while she settles on the back seat because she is having a baby. I open the back door. "Sit in front" She instructs me.
"Won't you need my help with the baby?" I ask holding the door from closing.
"No...try to get to know each other" She winks at Kim and he smiles.
"I would love that " He settles himself on the chair and warms the engine.
I settle on the passenger seat and close the door. The car reverses and drives into the main road. I peek at the house as we drive away from it. We are heading to Giyani. My phone chimes.
"You leaving to Giyani. Sad emoji"
"Don't be a cry baby" I reply to the text.
"Without a proper goodbye, of course, I am sad. I am already suffering el Nino, I am going to die..."
"You can just drive to Giyani duh. meh emoji" I reply.
I switch off the screen. This guy is dramatic. Wait...what did I just do that? Oh, darn it! I invited him over to my hiding spot. Deya, you didn't think through that one.

"She is gone to Giyani man! like without giving me some proper loving" I shuts my eyes in the posture of being sad.
"You won't die, as she said, you can drive to Giyani" Thami replies disinterestedly.
"You know she is secretive these days. She moves out without telling me, she is always unavailable and now she is gone back to Giyani and I know this when she is gone. it feels like she is running from me" I place my palm on my cheek.
"You are not her dad, you are just a complainer" He shakes his head.
"Maybe she is running. I would do the same when I see that we don't have a bright future together" Kamo retorts.
"Or she is pregnant and she is hiding it from you" Shudu sips his water with a straw from the glass.
"Dude! What's with you and that topic? Hayi man! please stop" I chaste him in a vexed voice.
"Okay. but it is a possibility. You guys were always shagging, did you use condoms all time? " Shudu shrugs his shoulders
"Tsk! You are an annoying man" I hurl a deep sigh and let my body plop on the sofa. "I would be damned if she is pregnant and she keeps it a secret or aborts my baby" I glance at the space.
I hope that the secret you are keeping doesn't kill you. I hope that it is not because your love is fading away because mine is growing stronger. I hope that, if indeed it is a baby that is the secret, don't feel too ashamed to tell me.
I hope that there's no guy...I hope you still love me as I do. Because it would break me into pieces.
