I was looking around,wide eyed as we entered the club.The multiple colored disco lights and loud racy songs,people dancing provocatively,grinding their bodies against each other in illicit manner.The counter was filled with few people that were sipping booze and a glass secluded area labelled "private area" .Grace pulled me to the drinks counter and we sat down on two empty seats.
I winced slightly when I heard her order for whiskey and lemon from the bartender even though I told her I wouldn't take it,I knew Grace would persuade me into drinking.
The bartender dropped our order."for you beautiful ladies",he winked at me,Grace smiled but I frowned irritated.
she hit me on her hand."stop that.we are here to drink and forget about kilowanje,don't chase the guys away.lets drink".Grace hollered and she hyped me as I took the glass.closing my eyes in false bravado,we both tilted our heads simultaneously and drank.
"Damn!"I exclaimed, irritated at the sourness.
we continued drinking and Grace left to use the restroom,she repeatedly told me not to move an inch because I was halfway drunk,I nodded and giggled absentmindedly.
I was watching the dancers on the dance floor, suddenly I felt weightless and energized ,I stood up and moved to the dance floor.i began to freedance, giggling and having fun,when I felt two pair of hands on my waist.i turned and saw a random guy holding me intimately and looking down lustfully at me.
I allowed him as we began to began to dance to the rhythim until I felt him touched my ass,I felt uncomfortable and grabbed his hand."stop".I said.insteaf he chuckled and replied.",you were clearly enjoying it earlier,so you can't say no, now".He grabbed it again,this time too hard that it caused me pain.
"so big and soft..."he moaned.i was now panicking and scared."let me go!"I demanded ,my voice drowned by the loud music.i pushed him but his hefty body gave him advantage over my struggles and he tried to kiss me ,I was turning my face to avoid his lips.i yelped in pain when his other hand grabbed one of my breasts.
I felt helpless and doomed,getting ready to scream at the top of my tongues,when suddenly his weight was dragged off him.
My molester was swiftly tackled to the ground and I watched in surprise as my savior kept on punching the man on the floor in a Savage manner, this caused a scene and when the man began to cough out blood ,two bouncers rushed in to dragged him away from my molester.
I became even more shocked when I realised my savior was none other than kilowanje.
I was embarrassed and mollified at the thought of kilowanje seeing me at this state and also worried about him.He was dragged outside by the bouncers and i rushed outside to meet him.
my head was hanging low in shame and guilt even though I technically did nothing him.
" I swear I'll kill him...I'm not letting him go".
he vowed ,his face red with anger,his chest moving rapidly.i grabbed him and tried soothing him down."Hey it's okay...you came around".As if he was just realizing I was here,he grabbed my arm painfully and I cried out in pain.
"And you!what were you doing here!this place isn't for little girl's like you!".my anger evaporated the moment I heard his words.
I violently pushed him away.
"And who the hell are you!you're neither my mom or Dad!.and the past few weeks you've acted like I don't frickin exist and now you're here acting like an owner over me!?"I fumed with anger.
I turned to leave but he grabbed me again again and pulled me to him.Before I could utter a word,his lips met mine as he violently kissed me.
I hold still and unmoving.Not having the intention to kiss him back.but I couldn't help as my eyes drifted close.i kissed him back.my lips locked in a hungry motion,not minding where we were,his hands fell to my waist and he pushed me closer until we heard a cough and immediately broke apart.my face burned red with embarrassment when I saw Grace staring at us wide eyed with a mischevious smile on her face.
"wow that was quite an x rated show".she exclaimed in awe and surprise.Grace shouldn't believe it was kilowanje that was standing before her and was clearly kissing me like he wanted to swallow me whole.
kilowanje pulled me to his side,locking me in a protective side embrace.
"Hi I'm Grace....lerato's best friend"she smiled widely stretching her hand for a handshake.
"I'm kilowanje"he said flatly ,holding her hand for few seconds and dropping it nonchalantly.
"yeah I know....everyone knows"Grace murmured but we clearly heard and I was burning with embarrassment cause my friend was embarrassing her friend.
"I'll be taking her home ...you can use your car".he said as he began to walk away with me.
"Bye lerato and have fun!"she shouted and I even felt more embarrassed.

I can vouch for my unconscious self that last night I slept without a care in the world.i was tossing and turning on the bed throughout the night and into the wee hours of the morning,with a smile stretching my lips.i kept reminiscing of the hot kiss we had until exhaustion won over and I fell asleep.
it was loud irritating voices that woke me up from my sleep.i stood up in my cream colored pyjamas and hearing the voices getting louder from the sitting room,I rushed downstairs and saw kilowanje standing before his father.His face held no emotions and his father's face was red with anger and he had even taken off his glasses.
He grabbed handful of printed new papers and flung them at his son.
"what the hell were you thinking!!you're over the newspapers!you even fought a man over an ordinary maidservant's daughter.your uncle is running for presidency and we can't afford mistakes!All you ever do is embarass and humiliate this this family name and I won't let you do that!.our public relations are searching for ways to handle this matters now.And let this don't happen again.....if not I'll cut you off.Because without this family you're nothing". He threatened and seeing me,Mr khumalo glared at me and walked away.
I felt so guilty and shameful,mother was staring at me with embarrassment and surprise,While mrs.khumalo was sitting on the sofa and sipping redwine while staring mockingly at me.
