The traditional ceremony was held early in the morning. My sister didn't invite anyone from our neighborhood except for MaRadebe. The others just stood and watched from the street. Once that was out of the way we got ready for the church.

My aunt looked beautiful walking down the isle. The pictures took forever and by the time the reception started we were all starving. People who weren't even on the program came up for speeches. It was crazy.

Thabo eventually took the mic, made his speech, and then announced dinner himself before anyone else could come up. Most of the night I was one the phone with Senzo who wanted to see everything since he couldn't be here himself.

When it was all over and done with my father and the family left. He did however make sure to remind that I needed to deposit half of my paycheck into his account at the end of the month.

I was home alone for about a week. My aunt and the kids went on a family moon and I opted to stay home to look after MaRadebe. I would go check on the house every once in a while but I stayed at MaRadebe's place.

"Senzo is coming back today. Is that maybe why you've been cooking since this morning?" She asked with a grin on her face. I didn't answer the question. I just carried on chopping the vegetables for the salad. She chuckled and walked away.

That night Ma ate and I waited for Senzo. I waited and waited and waited. I texted and called but there was no reply. I even tried different apps. At twelve I decided to pack up all the food and go to bed. I was up early the next morning cleaning like a mad women. I laid out Ma's breakfast and medication and then went outside and started washing windows.

"Thandi." I looked down from the step ladder to see Senzo. I looked back up and carried on with what I was doing. "Thandi I'm sorry. I should've texted. Something just came up." I carried on washing the windows. "Thandi. Thandi, come down from there. I'm sorry Thandi. Okay,I came back early but I was needed in the office. I left my phone in the drawer while I attended a meeting that went on for longer than expected. These things happen. Especially since I've been taking so much time off work."

I sighed and got down. "Thank you. How about a hug." I rolled my eyes. "Okay, baby steps. Ma said you made dinner." We went inside and I dished for him. "You've been avoiding the topic since the wedding. What happened with your father?" I just sighed. "Maybe we'll discuss it later. I want to clean the new rooms so we can decorate them and I just don't want to think about it."

I cleaned the new rooms and I heated the leftovers for dinner. "The beds are coming in a couple of days maybe we can go to the mall tomorrow and choose some bedding or something." Senzo mentioned and I didn't want to overstep. Ma still hasn't said anything about our relationship. "Um, maybe you can take Ma. I have a lot of work to do and I also don't know what she would like."

I kept my eyes on my food. "Oh, no I'm fine. The two of you can go. I'm not very picky anymore about things like decor. Anything is fine with me as long as it gets done." She said and I guess I was going shopping tomorrow.

I spent the night at MaRadebe's again and obviously Senzo snuck into my room. We made sure to be quiet and made sure that he was back in his room before his mother woke up.

My aunt texted me that they would be away for a few more days. I missed them but I was glad they were having fun and finally being a happy family. I made breakfast and cleaned what I could then got ready for the long day ahead of us.

Ma really liked green. So I theme was green, white, and wooden ornaments. We shopped so much we couldn't possibly fit it in the car. Luckily the shop delivered.

We were sitting in a restaurant and my appetite got better so I was eating. "So what happened when your father got here." I sighed. I had to tell him because if we eventually did have sex he'll wonder why I wasn't bleeding.

"My father brought the lady who does the testing at the village and she tested me." He was looking at me like he wanted me to carry on. "And you passed right?" I nodded. "Yes I passed but... But..." He looked worried. "But what?" I started "crying". "She did something wrong and I bled." He wiped my tears away and told me it would be okay and that it didn't matter because he was going to be my husband.

We went back home and  made dinner before going to bed. It wasn't long before Senzo snuck into my room. I slept only in a thong. "Mm baby." He moaned when he saw me. He was so hard. He took his dick out of his boxers and started tapping it on my clitoris. He groaned when I squirted a little.

I was breathing heavily. I gasped when he ripped my thong in half. "Put on the bedside lamp baby. I want to see how wet you are." He whispered and switched it on. "Oh baby look at the mess you've made. Look how wet you are." He touched my swollen clit and my whole body jerked. "Open up wide baby. Let me see that virgin pussy." I opened my legs wider and he groaned and started jerking off to the sight of me.

"Baby your oozing." He groaned again and put his dick between me wet fold. He shut my legs and held them up to my chest as he start thrusting. The tip of his dick thrust against my clit faster and faster and I put a pillow over my face to muffle my moan. My whole body started shaking. I tried fighting it but it only made it worse. I squirted hard and screamed into the pillow. He thrust one last time and I could feel his whole body tense up as he groaned.

He let go of my legs and they fell open. I was covered in cum and couldn't help but play with it. His dick twitched when I licked my fingers.

He got a wet cloth and cleaned us up before we laid in bed together.

"Why do you keep ignoring me when I mention marriage? If you're not ready you should tell me." I just smiled to myself. "I ignore you because you keep toying around with the idea. You mention it in passing. Maybe if you'd ask me properly I might answer. And don't you dare ask me right now." It was as if a light bulb went off in his head. He had a weird smile on his face. "Okay then."

He went back to his room and I got ready for the day. The next week was filled with cleaning and organizing. The furniture came and like with anything happening in my neighborhood everyone stood in the street watching me tell the workers where to put what. My aunt helped me with the big things because Senzo had to head back to his wife and job.

"So, what have you been up to while we've been gone?" My aunt asked putting down our tea. "Nothing much." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Thandi?" I looked away and took a sip of my tea. "Okay, it's fine. You don't have to tell. Just tell me you didn't sleep with him." I rolled my eyes. "I didn't sleep with him. I do however think he might be proposing soon." We both squealed.

MaRadebe was alone in the house so every other night I would sleep there. We were having dinner when Senzo walked in. "Oh thank God. I haven't had actual food in forever. Can you please dish for me." I nodded and made him a plate.

We ate and I was going to stay anyway so I cleaned and went to my room. When I got there he was waiting for me. He held his hands out for me to take. When he was about to speak there someone rang the doorbell.

"Leave it. We need to talk." Talk? I couldn't tell if it was good or bad. I heard muffled sounds of female voices but I couldn't make out who it was. "Thandi, I love you." This time I decided to go for it. "I love you too." He was shocked but he couldn't help but smile. "Then this makes it easier. You told me that maybe you'll answer if I ask so I'm asking."

He went down on one knee and my heart started racing. Out of his jacket pocket came a velvet box. He opened the box and I gasped with tears in my eyes. I was looking at a huge princess cut diamond ring.
"Will you marry me?"
I couldn't keep my excitement in. "Yes." He jumped up and placed the ring on my finger. Both of us were extremely excited. We kissed and hugged but our excitement was cut short by banging on the door.

"Get out here now Senzo! You have important guests!"

I looked at him and he seemed just as confused as I was.

Her timing couldn't get worse.
