Sthembiso's POV
I wake up and take a shower. After showering I lotion my body and wear my sweatpants and a black wife beater. I think this relationship of ours is becoming more tangled with the more trips and dates we go on.
I'm supposed to treat this as a serious relationship and not have fun at the same time but it's hard to do that with the person you can easily relate to and get along with like a house on fire.
My feelings are starting to grow the more time I spend with her. I mean I had already developed a little crush on her before we 'officially' got together but now that we are together they are growing. It is hard to sit and just not catch feelings when the things you do are what normal people in a normal relationship do. The guilt continues eating me up but I try and hide it.
My dad can never find out about these feelings that are brewing otherwise I'm dead or maybe he'll kill the both of us and figure out a way to get rid of her family on his own because I failed to do that. I have asked questions about her dad's turf and all that and I'm getting information and so far so good. We just waiting on November to come so we can attack and move on.
I go to my office and get some paperwork done. I still haven't figured out what plan they are working for when they attack us but I'm going to assume they will attack us at one of our warehouses and all that. I guess i can't do my own research cause there is nothing on her phone. The only thing I can do is keep my weapons ready and ask more questions.
After working I go to the kitchen and make myself some dinner. I decide to make chicken and rice with cabbage. I wish Amu can come and cook for me. Her cooking is really good especially the Mexican dishes she makes. After cooking i dish up for myself and i go sit in the living room and catch up on some of the shows I've missed.

"Sir there is someone that wants to see you." says my PA. "You can let the person in." I say. She nods and goes to fetch that person. Manqoba comes in and we greet each other. "Do you need anything?" she asks. "No thanks I'll be fine." I answer. She nods and leaves.
"Ngingaksiza ngani." I ask. (What can I help you with?) "You need to use some of your qualifications that you hide from the outside world." he says and we chuckle. "My assassin qualifications?" "Yes." "Why is that?" "Once justice was served for me I had to wait until the case dies down and now that it's dead I'm ready to attack."
"Why can't Nqobi do it for you?" I ask. "His got the skills but it isn't as good as yours. I would hire Amu but then she doesn't have to get her hands dirty. Plus a little birdy told me that these people were after both our families." he says. "Do you have any clue who it could be?" "No clue."
"So who do you want me to get rid of?" I ask. "I want us to work together and get rid of the witnesses and your girlfriend because they sold us out and we almost landed in jail. You can do whatever you want with your girlfriend because she was yours but I want us to torture the other two." he answers and i smirk.
"One of the reasons why you got arrested." I say and we chuckle. "This time we won't leave any evidence. We burn the bodies and the building they were in." he says and i nod. "The prosecutors shouldn't be harmed." "I agree. I wanted to harm them but then I realised that we will be causing the spotlight to come to us and we don't need that." I hum in agreement.
"Maybe we can teach them a lesson of their own but they will come back alive." I say. "Lets torture them and then release them. I know they won't talk after we do a number on them." he says and i nod. "I'll help you with it. Let's start planning it now." He nods.
"Let's start with your girlfriend first." he says. "Okay then i will let you know when she's gone and then we will start with ours and PS she isn't my girlfriend she's my enemy." I say and he chuckles. "Yeah I know phela your girlfriend is Mngomezulu." "Nope she's not mine." "I know what I saw at the gala."
"Your imagination was running wild there I'm sure the freedom has you confused a little." I say and we chuckle. "I know what I saw and i wish you two the best." he says and i chuckle. "If you say so." "Let me get going our companies won't run themselves." "That's true." We say our goodbyes and he stands up and leaves.
There is a knock on the door and i tell the person to come in. SimphiweyiNkosi comes in with a bottle and i smile. We greet each other and he sits down. I take out glasses from the cupboard and i pour us a glass of whiskey.
"I never thought i would see you." says SimphiweyiNkosi. "I wasn't close to death and neither was i assassinated so please explain." I say. "You enjoying your relationship way too much my brother." "What relationship are you talking about?"
"The one with this one particular girl." he says. "I'm trying to make it look as real as possible." I say. "You taking real to the extreme." "Such an unfortunate that i know how to treat a woman." He laughs.
"How's your relationship going?" he asks. "Its going okay I guess." I say. "Are you enjoying it?" I chuckle. "That's for me to know and for you to never find out." "His loving it." I laugh. "I'm not loving it I'm just enjoying it fullstop." "Have you developed feelings for her?" "No."
I can't even tell my brothers how I feel cause I know they going to judge. "Are you sure?" he asks. "I'm sure. I've been heartbroken by a certain human being so I'm not about to open up my heart again to somebody thats never going to happen." I say. "I'm glad you haven't caught feelings phela you know your father."
"Hence I'm not going to do such things and fall for her." I say. "I'm glad." he says and i roll my eyes. "Stop acting like your father." "I've decided to build a relationship with him." "Kanti what was going on between you two." "A situationship." I chuckle.
"You taking baby steps?" I ask. "Yeah." he says. "I'm proud of you." He laughs. "Uyabora yeva." (You bore me you know that.) "You love me mtasekhaya." "Yeah I do." I smile. "What's going in between you and your girlfriend?"
"We are still talking but I can sense that she is not happy that we are still at the talking stage." he answers. "I would too I mean how long have you guys been talking...since June and now it's October. You playing games. She will meet someone that will be serious and make his move." I say.
"I know that I'm going to gather my balls soon. I've decided that it's time I tell her and set my intentions straight I just needed to get my priorities straight and now I know what I want which is her." he says. "That's good we need to see a wedding kunini." I say and he chuckles. "We also want to see it from you." "Not yet." We chuckle.
"So make your move and stop being a coward because she will meet a man and you will never get her back even if you kill that dude." I say. "I hear you brother I will make my move soon." he says. "That's good."

"The last time I heard from you was when you were still innocent." says Bonginkosi. "The last time I heard from you was when you eloped with the Russian girl." I say and he chuckles. "I've never done such Sthembiso. Uright?" (Are you okay?) "Ngiyaphila wena." (I'm good and you.) "Nami ngiyaphila." (I'm good too.)
"Ngaksiza?" I ask. (How can I help you?) "As you know I'm turning 30 so I want to turn it up and throw a party at the club." he says. "I'm definitely turning up with you." "Hence I called." "When is this?" "On the 26th. The theme is look as handsome as usual." "Of course i will."
"Bring your brothers." he says. "Even the youngest?" I ask. "Yes his the life of the party when he wants to." "I'll let them know then." "Perfect." "Who else is gonna be there?" "My brothers and the Zulu brothers." "Okay i can't wait to turn up."
"We shall talk over the phone." he says. "Don't you sbwl to visit me?" I ask. "I'll only do that when you take the first step." "I'm a businessman so I can't take a break because of you." "I'm your best friend." "I know that. I'll see you sometime before the party." "I'll see you on the day." "Bye." "Sharp." "Bye." I drop the phone.
I guess i need to start prepping for a party. I decide to call Amu or should i say my girlfriend. I'm letting that title get to my head and it shouldn't because I'm using her for my own personal gain. Hope she finds it in her heart to forgive me.
"You miss me already?" she asks. "Of course i do." I say. "Uright?" (Are you okay?) "Ngiyaphila wena." (I'm good and you.) "Nami ngiyaphila." (I'm good too.) "Melunjani usuku lakho." (How was your day?) "It was okay wena." "It was okay."
"This call sounds like you want something from me." she says. "Yes I do want something." I say. "Its a weekday so please note its not available." "I know it's not available. I just need your help."
"What do you need help with?" she asks. "Assassinate." I say. "So we assassinating people now?" "Yes we are sthandwa sami." (my love.) "I'm so excited." "So will you help me?" "Yes we might as well become the next Bonnie and Clyde." I chuckle.
"Sizokhuluma ke Bonnie and Clyde." I say and she chuckles. (We will talk..) "Sharp. Ulale kahle." she says. (Sleep well.) "Nawe. Sharp." (You too.)"Bye." I drop the phone and sigh.
Siyanda and her friends won't see this one coming. Can everybody get ready for Bonnie and Clyde cause we are about to shake the world....
