#DAMON
I told her about my business with Jade and she let it go after i apologised countless times and i must say this thing with her and Sandiso didnt sit well with me but i had no choice. They were cousins at the end of the day and hearing that she and him spent the night in the same bed the night before she came backdidnt sit well with me, it caused a huge fight between us that we didnt speak for a whole week til i finally begged myself to talk to her because i missed her so much. she tried calling but i needed some time away from her to figure everything out thats happened lately. Jade and her boyfriend broke up after i showed him the tape and he and I were actually friends now and Jade ended up with nothing and no-one in her life.
It was August on my birthday and the plan was to spend the day with my girlfriend but then again theres my mother who always makes plans for you like it or not and for me to share a birthday with my little niece made it even harde for me to skip the whole family lunch thingy and lucky me my birthday was conviniently on a Sunday. We had both just woken up and were laying together in bed talking
Me: i'm not doing this whole lunch thing without you
Her: you dont have a choice
Me: actually I do
Her: you do?
Me: yeah. you coming with me to Lunch
Her: woah tiger. not so fast
Me: well i'm not going then
Her: Damon you have to go
she said sitting up to face me
Me: we spent your birthday together
Her: yeah only because i dont share it with my niece and my family and i dont have a tradition of celebrating each other's birthday
Me: i dont care. if you care about my niece you'll go
Her: thats so not fair. you cant use her to get me to come with you Damon. thats not how it works
Me: yeah well i can and I just did
Her: I dont have anything to wear
Me: you have tons of dresses you could wear
Her: none to impress Mrs Bess
Me: really? Thats what this is about? impressing my mom
Her: what do you think?
Me: you women. It doesnt matter what you wear she'll love you anyway
Her and if she doesnt? What if she thinks i'm too young for you? What if she thinks i'm not good enough for her son?
Me: why do you care? you with me not her
Her: yeah well she gave birth to you so i have to impress her
just then my phone rang
Me: speak of the devil
Her: answer it
I took her call, it was still around 7am
//Her: Happy Birthday my baby
Me: not a baby anymore Mrs B
Her: to me you always will be. how old are you again?
Me: 23
Her: still a baby. So are you coming today?
Me: do I have a choice?
Her: just making sure. and you bringing your girlfriend right?
Me: thats up to her
Her: we dying to meet her Damon
Me: yeah well i'm not ready for you to meet her
Her: just bring her. We dont bite
Me: yeah but you ask a lot
Her: i promise to be on my best behaviour and so will your father
Me: if i bring her over and father starts with his shinanigans we will leave and i dont care whether we have to eat or what
Her: i promise
Me: fine i'll see
Her: please
Me: i said i'll see mom. bye now
Her: 1 O'Clock Damon and not a minute late
Me: yes Mrs B now bye//
Her: she cares about you
Me: i know
Her: then be a good son an...
Me: and get you to come with me
Her: not that
Me: it would really make her happy
Her: again with the blackmail
Me: if it works. Why not?
We kept talking til it was time for us to shower and apparently she had a surprise for me. Ofcause we had shower sex, i mean hello! its my birthday and she blew me so damn good i thought that was the surprise but it wasnt. When we got out of the shower we did the necessary then she picked out outfits for us. She chose a short yellow summer dress and red heels with a red clutch and for me she opted for a navy blue jean jogger, red t-shirt and white sneakers.

#AMAHLE
When we were done getting dressed I took the car keys and put everything i would need in my purse then we headed out while he locked behind me.
Him: so where to?
Me: wouldnt you like to know
Him: i do. What if you wanna kill me and hide my body in a place no one will ever dare to find?
Me: you are so dramatic. I wouldnt kill you on your birthday although it would make a great headline
Him: imagine "Man dies on his birthday, killed by a girl he met a year ago"
Me: you being dramatic. Your family would hunt me down and murder me
Him: ofcause they would. Killing their precious
Me: argh you the middle child, meaning you less important to them
Him: I will swerve you off the road Amahle. They wouldnt last a week without me
Me: see what I mean. A week. Being the last born i know they wouldnt last a day without me
Him: get over yourself. I hate you
Me: and I love you birthday boy
On my birthday Damon took me out for breakfast and he got me black red bottom heels and to top it off he had a surprise party planned for me with all my friends and his there including Sandiso who bought me a LV handbag, the party was held at his flat and it was just Amazing. So i needed to sort of top that in a way but we were working with time and time was against us. It was past 8am and our booking was for 9am, i was literally on Fast and The Furious with hopes Metro Police was sleeping.
Him: yeah whatever i know you do stupid
Me: you suppose to say you love me too dummy
Him: nah, i dont wanna give you the satisfaction
Me: you'll never stop being an ass
Him: i try not too
Finally we got to this air ballon thingy reserve and i'm sure you wondering why a person who gets air sick would choose such a place for their surprise, well not to worry i took my meds before we left. The plan was to have an air picnic, see Damon has always wanted to go air balloning but time never allowed him and he didnt know they had the reserve here in KZN.
Him: no way!
Me: yes way Nuni
Him: how'd you know?
Me: yeah well you kinda mentioned it once or twice
Him: babe this is too
I put my finger on his lips to shut him up.
Me: a.ah dont. Let me do this for you ok
Him: uhhm ok... I dont know what to say
Me: you could tell me i'm the world's best girlfriend and that you love me
Him: well you the worlds best girlfriend and I love you more than all the words in all dictionaries combined together and all the sands in the oceans all around the world.
Me: lets go, we already late
We got on and we we flew over the beautiful KZN, it was magical. I booked us for 9-11 because 12 we need to go back to durban and change for the lunch at 1. We stayed in the air for those hours and it was just perfect
Him: Thank you
Me: no need to thank me
Him: this is beautiful. and was probably expensive
Me: yeah well anything for the world's best boyfriend
He blushed at that
Him: oh stop
Me: look at you blushing and looking all so cute and adorable
Him: oh stop it already
He was pink and just yum. I kissed him and he responded. I broke the kiss and decided to give him his gift.
Him: whats this?
Me: open it and see
Him: is this an engagement ring Miss Ngesi?
Me: dont you wish
He finally stripped off the wrapping paper and there was a box
Him: this is a ring. Is it a promise ring?
Me: hahaha shut up and just open the box
He did just that and his jaw literally dropped to the floor.
Him: i cant accept this?
Me: and why's that?
Him: its expensive
Me: well you loved it in New York so i figured why not
Him: a rolex is too much Mahle
Me: come let me help you put it on
Damon wore Tomato branded watches so this was his first rolex of many to come, when we saw the rolex he said it would be his thing the day he got promoted to a higher position but i couldnt help myself. He got me something i loved and i wanted to do the same for him.
Him: thank you
Me: finally
We spoke about a lot til it was time to head back to reality in Durban and this time he was driving. We got to his flat and we changed into our outfits for lunch with the Besses. It was a black and white tie thingy and so I opted for a black dress with small straps, it hugged my boob area to all the way to my figure then opens from the stomach down with my black red bottoms and gold accessories while he wore a black tux with his red bottom Christian Loubottin's which he bought in New York, they were suade. I straightened my hair and tied it into a neat bun with gold ends. We looked good and we took lots of pictures to prove it then we headed off to the Bess residence, he was driving.

#AMBER
Mom never lets us celebrate our birthdays without the rest of the family, its more or less like thanks giving on all our birthdays including my husband's. I had just finished dressing up my little princess in her vanilla ice white princessy dress with her matching tiny shoes and a head band. she was the most cutest thing in this world, well in my eyes and my husband's. When all of us were done we buckled her in her car seat then went to the royal house-its what Damon and I call it- We got there at 12:50 and so did Damon and his girlfriend whom i met on her birthday Friday, she was a beautiful, smart young girl and was just great for my brother.
Him: my one and only sissy
He said hugging me
Me: hey brother, Happy Birthday by the way
Him: yeah now give me my niece. You remember Amahle right?
Me: i met her friday, ofcause i do
She and I hugged and I introduced her to my husband and then we headed for the door with them playing with my daughter. Seemingly Amahle liked kids judging by how well and relaxed my daughter was in her arms. We got inside and were greeted by mom who looked Classy and Beautiful as always
Her: where's my grandbaby?
Me: with Damon
Damon asked me not to tell mom Mahle was here.
Her: did he bring a girl?
Me: no
Her: argh that boy never listens
And just then Damon walked in followed by a Mahle who was talking with my little one and answering every ridiculous question Liz came up with. Mom went to welcome them and this i had to hear.
Mom: My baby
She hugged Damon and then looked behind him.
Her: and whose this beautiful young lady with you
Him: this is Amahle Ngesi, Amahle meet my mom
Damon attempted taking Lizzy who was super attached to Amahle and didnt want to let go. Mom also tried but to no luck so she hugged them both instead
Her: nice to meet you Amahle
Ama: the pleasure is mine Mrs Bess
Her: please come this way
We all followed behind them, I was walking with Damon and mom had her arm hooked to Amahle's
Dae: i dont think i like this
Me: hahaha dont be jealous, she likes her
Dae: thats exactly why i dont like this, such relationships never end well
Me: what are you planning on ending it?
Him: no. I'm planning on taking it further than this
Me: did you just say you want to marry her?
Him: maybe I did
Me: who are you and what have you done to my brother?
Him: i'm a man in love thats all
Me: i'm glad to hear that. You growing
Him: i just hope i dont screw it up thats all
Me: you wont if you dont want to
We kept chatting til Damien came to join us all hippy and happy. He greeted us then joined in on our conversation
Him: great choice with that one Dae
Me: thats exactly what i was telling him
Dae: ohkay
Him: dude even Dad likes her
Me: what do you mean?
Him: follow me
We went into the lounge and Mom, Dad, Lizzy and Stu were all laughing and talking. The parents were showing her the photo album with her sitting between them and my daughter was busy running around the house doing baby things, she came to me excitedly when she saw me but sadly she wasnt coming to me, she was going to Damon and he picked her up and they started chatting up a storm. This was guaranteed to be a great day and judging by how the parents got along with Mahle, I could tell we werent going to have a Dad and Damon episode.
The day went on pretty nicely, Dad and Damon were actually laughing together and no they didnt have an episode today instead they were the besties of friends and I wont lie i was happy and so was everyone. The day went on well for everyone, thanks to an Amahle who was flexible and spoke to everyone and anyone.
