So it's Saturday!!!
SPA DAY!!!
I wake up and shower then fix my bed and wear my
pjays then head downstairs to make breakfast
listening to earphones and singing along to Wizkid -
Fever, it's on repeat and I can't get over it! Why am
I in such a mood? Well probably because yesterday
I actually got my first real kiss from yours truly...
Bantubonke Mtwa! Yes, we kissed and I think we
dating. It was after our kiss that he told me flat out
that he'd be a fool to let these Cape Town boys
play me and that he wants me to be his alone and
he will be mine alone!
So yeah! I'm happy.
I'm startled by someone unlocking the door at this
hour, it's past 6, everyone is still in their rooms. It's
dad and he is dressed in all black wearing a beanie
carrying car keys, his clothes are dirty. I look at him
from head to toe and back up, he is as shocked as I
am.
"Marhadebe what are you doing up this early?"
He asks. He only ever calls me by my clan name
when he is about to bribe me or something along
those lines.
"Making breakfast, where are you coming from
Rhadebe?"
I ask with my arms folded in front of my chest
"I uhhm... I went jogging. I needed to clear my
head"
He says, I chuckle
"Sho"
"Uhm Rhadie can we keep this between us?"
He asks. This is my chance to actually ask for that
car
"On one condition"
I say holding up my index finger
"That being?"
He asks eyeing me
"I need a car"
I say. He looks at me for a while before nodding
"Fine! When you get back it will be parked outside"
He assures headed towards the door. I watch him
walk until I notice a gun tucked in his pants behind,
I clasp my mouth and he turns quickly
"You'll text me the car you want right?"
He says nervously and I just nod like the confused
person I am right now. My father owns a gun?
How? When? Why?
So many unanswered questions. I decide to start
chopping the things I'll need but my mind is still
processing my father owning a gun. Soon as I am
done I go to each and everyone's room and call
them to the dining area to eat.
"Where's dad?"
I ask as mom settles in her seat
"he's still sleeping, he went jogging this morning,
must be drained"
She says. Part of me wants to tell her but then
again why ruin a good thing? I mean what she
doesn't know isn't hurting her right? If dad is
dealing shady then there must be a reason right?
Why else would he own a gun? GOD so many
unanswered questions here. I let things be, we eat
over light conversations. When I'm done I place my
dish in the sink and head up to my room, my room
is two doors away from that of my parents. Their
door is half closed when I hear dad shouting at
someone, pretty sure he's talking on the phone. I
walk towards their room and stand by the door
"If Ayola finds out about this I am dead!" he says
pissed "I don't care how you fix it! Just fucking fix, it
and make sure my wife doesn't find out about it!"
He says cutting the call. OK! What's going on? I tip-
toe away from the door and head to where I am
supposed to be.
N-D-I-Y-A-J-O-L-A (I'm in a relationship)
My phone is flooded with messages and missed
calls, it can only be Bantubonke Mtwa. GOD he's
so dreamy! You could say I decided to take mom's
advice on dating, I need something that's going to
distract me from school even if it's for a few
minutes' face timing you know? All work no play
kills! So far he's been an amazing person, every
day I wake up to a poem... He writes. Who knew
right? Anyway I'm happy with him even if it may not
be real, I can't possibly believe it's real because no
guy can be this perfect. Not in this life time! I play
Mad Over You by Runtown while stripping my gown
off to change into clothes, mom is probably
showering and we leaving at 9, our appointment is
for 10am. Just as I finish taking off my robe my
phone rings and it's Bantu, I answer smiling from
ear to ear
"Mr Mtwa"
I say and he chuckles
"beginning to think I've been dumped"
He says
"I wouldn't dare dream of that, I was making
breakfast"
I say
"So she can cook? Mmmh"
I giggle
"I said breakfast not the last supper now"
He laughs and so do I
"OUCH! well what are you up to? Can I take you
out today?"
He says
"Uhhm"
"I don't like the sound of that"
He quickly responds
"Well mom, my sister and I are going to the spa and
I don't know when we will be back"
I say
"Can I see you after if it's not too late then?"
"of cause. I will call you"
I say
"let's FaceTime. I want to see what you look like in
the morning"
He says and I can't help but giggle
"I look the same way I did yesterday morning"
He chuckles
"that was yesterday, I want to see how you look
today"
I giggle
"Fine."
I say rolling my eyes. I switch to FaceTime and Mr
is laying on his back topless looking all kinds of
crusty in a very sexy cute way or maybe my crush
on him is that intense. He is dreamy you guys!
"I take it you finished washing already"
He says looking at me
"yeah, I washed before I went to make breakfast"
I say and he smiles
"You beautiful"
I blush with my cheeks turning pink
"thank you"
I say. We talk for a while
"So I know it's early in our relationship and all but I
feel like you must know"
He frowns in anticipation of what I'm about to drop
on him
"Bonke I'm a virgin"
I point out and he keeps quiet. The silence
becomes deafening, awkward even. I'm about to
cut the call when he starts talking
"I'm waiting for you to come up with your point
beautiful"
He says and I frown, I'm confused, I just told this
guy that I'm a virgin and he doesn't see a point in
what I just told him
"Sinokuhle listen, if I was in this for the sex then I
wouldn't be doing all this. Not to sound like a jerk or
anything but I wouldn't put in this much effort to get
into your pants babe. I'm in this because I like you, I
want to know you outside the bedroom and maybe
with time inside the bedroom of which I'm in no rush
for the bedroom part. You're a cool chick, not all
what I was expecting. There's a mystery to you that
I just can't help but be drawn to and if you will let
me, can we just do things in the right order?"
He says and for a second I suddenly feel bad for
my thoughts about him on this whole situation.
What if he's not selling me dreams and he's being
genuine?
"Sure"
I say
"Sure as in we doing this?"
He confirms with a little enthusiasm and I smile and
nod
"I could kiss you right now"
"Bye Bantubonke!"
I say
"Come on don't be like that now"
He pleads
"I have to get dressed"
I say
"can I watch?"
He says giving me that naughty smile of his
"NO!"
I scold and he laughs
"I'm going to be starved in this relationship shame"
He says pouting, I laugh
"Bye Bonke"
I say dropping the call on him. I walk to the closet
and take off my robe and wear matching
underwear, Navy blue high waist jeggings, white
vest crop top and white sneakers. I spray my braids
and then leave them hanging loose. I look cute with
my hour glass shaped body which I acquired from
my mother. Yep. It's a thing because even my little
sister has this sexy body. I take a few mirror selfies
then walk out, I meet my parents walking out of
their room and mom is wearing a white maxi dress
with a navy blue hand bag, navy sandals and her
hair is hanging loosely. She looks beautiful., dad
whistles
"When you guys look this beautiful I am tempted to
drop you guys off and fetch you when you done"
He says making mom and I blush
"stand together and let me take pictures of you
guys"
He says and who are we to say no? We start
striking poses until my little sister comes out and
joins us. We take a few more just me and Saney
then we head down. All 3 of us are wearing white
and navy blue. We look good, I start posting a few
of our pictures and within minutes' people are
commenting and liking. That's what you get for
being Ayola's daughter. Everyone is interested in
your life hence my account on IG is now private.
