The diary of an African man

CHAPTER 7

We were having dinner which by the way the twins had cooked. "Where were you guys ?" Nhlonipho asked a bit hurt. I hate how he is such a crybaby at times."We had to go  somewhere. Plus he was asking me fix his whore issues for him. " Mseki says looking at his plate. If only he could see the daggers I was shooting at him.

I looked at the twins. Warning them to not say a word or else they're out of my house. They both looked at me for a  second before looking at they're plates again. Nhlakanipho slightly chuckled under his breath which later led him to choking on his food.

"What's her name again?",he asked. I didn't bother answering him so I carried on eating. "Now I remember! It's Khetho!" He yells trying to piss me off. I didn't say anything instead I just glared at the little shit infront of me.

I finished eating and left the dining room. I had 6 missed calls from Khetho. Jesus, this lady is driving me crazy and not in a good way.

I didn't bother calling her back instead I reflected on what Mseki had said.

I woke up the next morning feeling annoyed for no reason in particular. I went for a jog before making breakfast which by the way was oatmeal porridge. We all ate with a light conversation here and there. We made plans for the day. I was hoping to see Khetho but I wasn't going to tell them that so I told them I'd be out with colleagues. They didn't believe me but I didn't care really.

We agreed to meet up in the afternoon so I busied myself by cleaning the house. I know right ,it's very rare to find a man cleaning his own house but I have major trust issues and because of that I feel uncomfortable having some stranger cleaning my house.

I went to Khetho's fake house. Khetho unlocked the door barely wearing anything. Her skimpy legs stared back at me as I stared at them. They were chocolate brown and yet they smelt like berries,don't ask me how I know.

She jumped on me as soon as she saw me. Her face lit up,at that point I was starting to get worried that she had developed feelings. I put it at the back of my head and hoped she had not.

She clinged onto my jacket and kissed every corner of my face. She took a deep breath in "Gosh, I missed you. " She said while walking to the sofa . I didn't reply instead I sat down on the sofa and gave her a quizzical look. "Don't tell me that you didn't miss me at all. "she whined. She rolled her eyes after that. I hate how she loves doing that. "The sex, you mean. " I corrected. She sat on me with her legs on either side.

"I mean Nkosana. I don't think it's all about the sex anymore, I feel something whenever I'm around you. I make me feel different. "she said trying to look shy. She kissed me before I could give her a reply. I guess she knew the ugly truth, she was just in denial but I'm glad she knew the truth.

As our lips connect, I could feel the passion. That kiss was like no other and not in a good way. Her tongue lingered at the depths of my mouth and again not in a good way, it was like she was clogging her tongue down my throat. The kiss was intensifying ,I couldn't take the mixed feelings hanging at the basement of her lips.

I pulled out and stared at her. I was trying to read her, I finally settled my eyes on hers ,they were light brown almost hazel when met by sunlight. I was trying to fish for the humour in the words she had said to me. Her eyes were begging me to not say the truth, they were begging me to stay.

She placed her hands on my neck and pulled my face but before our lips met the door flew open. FUCK! Her friend walked in with her heels making the only sound in the room. No one spoke. She stole glances at us a few times. I watched how her body tensed up as soon as she saw me, her jaw clenched. Still she said nothing, she just carried on walking looking straight ahead. "Ufunani?" (what do you want) Khetho broke the silence. She got off me and went to her friend. "Looking for my wallet. " She replied. Her reply was a bit muffled up since she was approaching one of the rooms a bit further from where I was.

I felt disgusted for some reason. I don't know if it's because there was a great possibility that  Khetho was in love with me or the fact  that I have been caught having a make out sesh with theowner of the house's friend.

I did what any sane person would do. I got up and left the apartment. I heard the floor clicking, again it was her, she was behind me. Was she following me ? I got into the elavator and guess what, she was waiting right behind me, not saying anything. I like silence most of the time but for some reason her silence kills me. As soon as the elavator opened I jumped in immediately and she followed. I hadn't noticed Khetho was behind her. The atmosphere was tense and awkward. "But Nkosana why are you leaving so early. We barely even did anything. "she whined with her voice slightly cracking.

I'm glad Khetho's friend intruded on the scene because deep down I know that I really felt kinda guilty about having sex with someone who's in love with me. "Something came up." I lied.

We all went our own ways as soon as the elavator opened excluding Khetho since she was following me. Her friend got into a black mini cooper with tinted windows which by the way looked sexy.

I got into my car before Khetho could catch up to me, I locked the doors and brought the car to life. I can't wait to go back to work already.
