Christmas came ,and was the first one I was going to spend with my new family . For the last two weeks I had been spending most of my time with Nate I got fond of him and his lame jokes . He reminded me that there are actually people who care ,and he had said the three magic words ,I hadn't given him an answer because I was not ready for that . Hanging with him was great ,but love was another thing , I was taking things slowly ,taking my time .
Whilst I was still dreaming of a perfect life ,I was woken up by Lj" Morning mama " that's what she said ,she liked calling me mom and I loved it . She brightened up everybody's day , my dad loved her to bits . We woke up to bake some cookies ,Musa ,Lwandi and Sheila helped us ... we were all covered in flour .Playing around we even involved dad in that the kitchen was such a mess . We only got one batch of cookies ,and the rest were burnt ,we did not even have a Christmas lunch .
My hair and clothes were covered in flour , but I loved it ,I was so happy . Doorbell rang and I ran to get it . " Whoa that flour really enhances your beauty " Malik said that smiling at me . That smile made my knees weak . " Thank you ,come in " He came inside and when he entered the kitchen ,they all threw flour at us . "Now you have joined the party " Musa said that whilst chasing Lwandile fighting for the last can of energy drink . It was so cool living with all of them .
Dad just gave me that eye ," Lj ...let's get you cleaned up " He said that taking Lj in his arms and Sheila followed them . " Now you look handsome too ." I just laughed and he helped me tidy up the kitchen whilst he waited for Musa . He was joking around and something just went splashing on his head, when I recognized it was dough falling from the roof ,Lord I laughed so hard my tummy became sore . " Let me help you with that " I grabbed a dish cloth and he brought his head forward ." You people live like wild animals " I pounded him for saying that .
I had to remove the dough from the ceiling ,I tried climbing on the kitchen counter " Let me help you " He said that while grabbing me and picking me up . I was wearing shorts ,and I had his arms around my knees . I quickly tried to wipe of the dough . He slowly put me down but stop when our eyes met ...we stared at each other and had a tingling sensation , and I knew I was horny as ever .For the time I had spent alone ,technically I was a virgin . That thought circulated my mind and I almost burst into laughter . He placed his lips on mine disturbing my silly thoughts .
" Hmm" He dropped me on the floor like a hot potato .It was just Lwandile ,and he had a huge smile on his face ," I knew it " He said that winking at me ,I was way embarrassed I just went out the room and went to get ready for the Christmas lunch ,Dad had organized at some fancy hotel . Since I took decades to get ready they left me behind ,and I would catch up with them . I slipped on a banging red dress which showed off my body ,yes then I was no longer afraid of being pretty . My hormones were all over the place ,I really needed some sexual healing .
I got in to the car and drove to the hotel this was going to be a special ,because I was going to be bold and honest to Malik about my feelings . We were on the third floor ,and I was in no mood for taking the steps I waited for the elevator . Finally it opened and there he was Malik Wright, joy riding on the elevator ." Are you not old for you to be doing this ?" He just smiled ." When Musa told me you were running late I knew you would take the elevator ,so I had to stay here till you came ... we need to talk "
I got in and out of the blue the elevator stopped ." No this can't be happening ,I don't want die on Christmas ! " He laughed at me shame ," Relax ... you safe with me " He said that coming close to me .As he came close I took a step back until I was pinned against the wall . He slipped his hand into my hair ,picked me up with one hand ,my legs wrapped around his waist hanging for dear life . He kissed me with so much passion and skill . In just a few minutes ,his pants were on the floor and my dress was on my waist ,it was not the ideal location ,but the experience was magical .
When we were all done we were in the floor ,breathless and I was lying on his lap ." That was awesome " He said that leaning forward to kiss me . " Totally !" I was on cloud nine . " Merry Christmas Lorna " Those were the words of my mom ,I just closed my eyes in embarrassment ." Let's get dressed " Malik was confused but we got up and got dressed he couldn't keep his hands off me as we got dressed . I was so happy ,I finally had a guy that I really liked and the family already knew .
Miraculously the elevator started working again ,I knew then Malik had something to do with that . I was a little uncomfortable ,but we fixed ourselves up and went to meet up the rest of the family . When we got in they were eating dessert .Lwandile just smiled ," Where have you been ?" Dad asked . I was so nervous ," Got stuck in the elevator ..." He just looked at me ,seems like he knew what happened . Nate was also there and he got up to hug me ,and Malik gave me an ugly stare . Oh ! I was so smitten I had forgotten about Nate . He was a good guy smart and attractive ,but I just was not attracted to him .
We all sat down ,and this girl barged into the room ,wearing the shortest dress she could buy . " Malik baby, I haven't heard from you for three weeks " Those words made me stand up and take a good look at her then looked at him ." Who is this ? " I asked that question and no longer cared at what everybody thought . He choked on his saliva , he suddenly stuttered ,it was pretty obvious he had forgotten the girls name, that just proved what Musa always said that Malik was a player was true . I felt tears fill my eyes . I quickly sat down , and I wanted to get the hell out of there . and when I thought things couldn't get worse " Malik impregnated me, I am his baby mama " she said those words and I choked on the wine I was drinking .
Malik stretched his hand trying to touch me but I moved my shoulder ,it got really awkward ." are you okay? " Sheila asked and I just nodded . Malik stood up dragging his tramp out . " Excuse me I don't really feel good " I said that standing up . Musa knew what was happening and he just gave his friend that look ." Lorna wait! " When Nate said that Malik also stopped .He came up to me " Look I did know it would end up like this but I wanted this Christmas to be special " He went down on one knee ," Lorna would you be kind enough to marry me ?" . I was really not waiting for that .
Tears just rolled down my eyes ,and believe me they were not of joy . But my heart was slowly cracking and it fell into a million pieces . When I turned Malik was still there and he just walked off . " Good boy ,now that's a clever man, Lorna just say yes that boy loves you " My dad said those words and he looked so happy and proud of me . All my life I had a father who looked down on me ,now finally I had someone who believed in me ...so I couldn't disappoint him by turning down Nate's proposal . Anyways the guy I loved was going to be a father and he probably just wanted to sleep with me .
"Lorna ,my knee is getting numbed ! " I had forgotten about Nate .I just nodded and he slipped the ring into my finger and he gave me a tight hug . And when my eyes met with Lwandile he just shook his head in disagreement . We celebrated the engagement and I was just not there ,and I certainly did not love Nate ,but he was the ideal ,perfect man so I had to settle . I acted happy in all the pictures we took ,acted thrilled at all his hugs and kisses . When night time came I managed to lie about developing a flu ,and I went home ,anyways Nate had to go to the hospital .
I drove to the house like a maniac , I was just holding my pain in and when I got there I ran up into my room ,shoved my head under my pillow and just cried, how can it all get so messed up in just one day . After some time ,I took a bath and went to bed. I kept on staring at the beautiful ring on my finger with a large rock .Most woman would have been thrilled and over the moon ,but I was just miserable, but had to learn to love him .My mom kept on saying the same thing ," Follow your heart baby ,it's the only way you will be happy " . She made it seem easy .
