I'm more than just the second wife

21

"Where are you taking me Hadebe!" I playfully admonished whilst giggling. "I'm getting this sexy body in a bathing suit and we're swimming." He said climbing up the stairs pretending that I'm too heavy and breaking his back." I slapped his shoulder "Pauper a feather is far heavier than I!" I snarled in a horrid British accent and we broke out in laughter. He put me down in our room and I undressed and headed to my side of the closet. "Which one?" I turned to Yanda holding up a blue bathing suit in one hand and a black one in the other. "I prefer the one you have on now." He replied smirking at me. "You're an insatiable beast Hadebe." I teased and attempted to dash out the closet but he caught me even before I got to the door. "And where do you think you're going?" He asked but didn't wait for an answer, he just buried his face in my neck and had me in a moaning mess. This man'll turn me into an addict but not that I have any qualms about it.

There came a knock on my office door. "Come in!" I yelled whilst typing in the last of my patient's data for the week into my computer. Dr Sithole walked in " Your office looks far better than mine and I've been here longer. I'm a bit jealous." We shared a laugh as he took a seat. "We need help at Baragwanth hospital, since we close at 16:00 I was wondering if you'd be available to help until 19:00 that isn't a fixed time, it might run over and you'll of course be remunerated for your services." I was about to accept the offer but thought better of it. "I have to talk to my husband first and then I'll get back to you." He nodded before getting up. " I do hope you'll be able to help, we could use the extra hands. Enjoy your weekend. I'll see you on Monday Doc." He smiled then made his way out the door. I packed my bags and made my way home.

I got home and Yanda's car was in the drive way. "Hi honey! He yelled from somewhere in the house as soon he heard the door close. He came down with a weekend bag. "Do you have a conference you forgot to tell me about?" I queried in confusion. " No don't you remember. We're going home to visit your parents." He replied dropping off the weekend bag on the counter before heading back upstairs and I followed behind him not really sure how to feel about what he's doing. I found it sweet that he cared that I have a relationship with my father but I also felt rushed. I'd talk to my father when I was ready.

If you're still not ready after 5 years maybe this little push in the right direction is what you need my subconscious echoed at the back of my mind. Without a word I jumped into the shower and got into the barely there undergarments  and my yellow maxi dress that he'd picked out. " That's one of my favorite dresses on you. I remember the first time I saw you in it. I think Zanda was three. The pair of you walked in hand in hand into the main house. You looked so radiant and beautiful. She too had on a cute yellow dress. I'm guessing she wanted to match with you." I felt my heart melt at his words. I rushed into his arms and hugged him. I moved away from his shoulder and looked up at him. The pure sincerity and love , was it love? in his eyes quietened my doubts and insecurities. I knew he was down for me. "I love you Yanda Hadebe!" I stated boldly before placing a peck on his lips. "You do?" He asked and I saw his insecurities swimming in his eyes. "Yes I do. I really really do." I assured him not breaking eye contact. " I love you too." He smiled his wide broad smile showing off his perfectly aligned teeth. "Say it again." He whispered engulfing me in a hug. " I love you my husband." His arms tightened around me and he placed a kiss on my neck.

"Come let's go see umama nobaba he said after a while and attempted to break the bug but I held on and captured his lips in a kiss. I'm so happy. He makes me so happy. " Now let's go." I said as we pulled apart breathing deeply. He had on his smug smile. "Wipe it off!" I grumbled "Wipe what off?" He asked acting confused but his smile only widened. "Did you pack everything?" I asked to change the subject from his gloating. "Yes I did and if I didn't you married rich love I'll buy it for you." He replied cockily taking my hand in his and lead me down stairs. " Well my handsome husband speaking of riches..." he didn't let me finish before he interrupted "Do you want a new car, a vacation, a new handbag or a limited edition pair of heels?" I looked at him confused. What? No but don't go giving me ideas I might just leave you bankrupt." I teased. "You wouldn't even if you tried your hardest." He scoffed flicking his wrist and his watch glistened in the light. " You cocky bafoon, I wanted us to go furniture  shopping next weekend. I was trying to bribe you into coming with me. That's all I wanted." I Finally got out. "Firstly you love this cocky bafoon." He said with that wide smile all over his face again. "Secondly of course we can go furniture shopping and I hope you know I'll be paying for it. Lastly you amaze me. It's the simple things that make you happy. You don't need big opulent gifts, not saying I won't spoil you with them but you don't make them the center of your being." He said as we walked out of the house unlocking his car and opened the door for me.
