MICHAEL
I've never been with a girl like this. Wild, innocent, fearless, intelligent and hardworking. I'm so whipped and I wouldn't have it any other way. I got her to agree to a lot of things. But I know she agreed by choice. She's giving me enough rope to hang myself, while her back-up system is still in place.
Me: Did you get everything?
I ask her as she enters my car.
Her: Yes.
Me: I can't believe you made me wait around the corner.
Her: Don't worry we'll drive past it and you will see where I live. Turn there, 5th house on your left. My shack is the one with the blue door.
See what I mean. Not former place, but current place. I'm in love.
Me: I've asked aunty Ellen to make space for you in my closet and....
Her: No I'm fine in my room.
I smile. Ok we'll see.
Me: What time must you be at work tomorrow?
Her: 06:30
Me: Okay I will drop you off.
We get to my place and there is a car at the gate. Shit I'm not ready for Lerato drama. How the hell did she even find my house. I never brought her here. I've never brought a woman here.
I make a call.
Me: Joseph make that car leave my house.
My wife must not see that. We drive past.
Her: So we are running away.
Me: No, we are going to supper.
Her: Let me cook us supper.
Me: Drop it. We are not debating this.
We get to dinner and my baby is sulking. She seems so far away. I guess this is our first fight.
Me: Love
She just looks at me.
Me: I'm sorry
She hasn't even blinked. Then she blinks and a tear escapes.
FUCK lerato
Me: Remember when I said I had things to finish. That is one of them.
Her: So why are we here? I'm not interested in this food date. I don't want surprises Sambulo. I want to be prepared. Always.
I just look at her shocked.
Me: I was trying to protect you.
Her: See now if I meet her tomorrow I will look like your side chick, smuggled away from the madam. Am I your mistress?
Her voice is gaining volume. She's getting more agitated each second that passes.
Her: Can we order food to go.
FUCK Lerato
We get our food and go home in silence. I miss her already. I want her to smile at me. But I don't beg. SHIT
We walk in and she goes straight to her room and slams the door shut. I do the same. I put on my pyjama bottoms and get into bed but sleep deceives me. I can't sleep. I toss and turn.
Me: You can do this Mike.
An hour later. Still no sleep.
It's no use, I get up and go to her room. I try her door and it's open. I walk in and join her in bed. Pull her to me and hold her tight.
Me: Her name is Lerato. We've been seeing each other for a few months. I never loved her. She was just a good shag you know.
Her: Is that why you won't make love to me, because I don't look like a good shag.
Me: I never loved her.
Her: How does that even make sense Sambulo. You love me, but you won't make love to me because you have a girl that you never loved and just enjoyed the sex. Can you please let me rest.
Me: I broke up with her, but she keeps coming.
Her: So you say dude. I'm giving you the space you need. Now go to your room. Or do you want me to go to my house.
Me: I'm sorry I disrespected you in your own home and allowed another woman to have power over you.
She turns to look at me. Yes the whole time she had her back to me.
Me: I have never been in love. I've thought I was, even told people I was. But what I feel for you Sweetness supersedes anything I have felt before.
I put my hand on her face and feel that it's wet. She's crying and it's my fault.
Her: Are you sure?
I kiss her, pouring all my soul into her. The kiss is so tender and I'm lost in her. I caress her body and it's so soft and firm. My hand moves up her thigh, no underwear, she's so wet. I touch her clit, she so ready for me. Her moans and whimpers call me
JABHILE
He gets up, picks me up and walks me back to his room, his eyes are glued to mine, rendering me powerless. He lays me on his bed and removes all our clothes. He grabs a condom from the drawer. Not moving his eyes from mine. He lifts my right leg, opening me up wide and drives in so swiftly I scream. I thought he would take his time with me, like they do in the movies putting it in bit by bit. He grunts. He doesn't move. It's as if he's taking it all in.
The muscles on his jaws are so tight. I am stuck in pain mode. I thought he was going to be tender. Tears are streaming out on the sides of my eyes.
Him: I wanted this moment to be so special.
I see tears in his eyes.
Him: I've never wanted to make sweet passionate love to anyone like I wanted with you. Thank you for this gift.
He starts moving. Deep, slow thrusts.
Me: Sambulo it's sore.
I whisper. Fuck this shit is painful.
He doesn't let up he is moving in me. Fuck he needs to stop.
Him: I'm sorry baby. It will get better I promiss. I love you. Please marry me.
Me: Sambulo...
Him: I love you
Me: Sambulo
Him: You feel so good. Hmmm. I want this moment forever.
He's not stopping. He's not slowing down. He's not going faster.
Me: Michael
He starts nibbling on my neck hard and my mind drifts on to the pleasure he's giving me instead of the pain.
Him: Sweetness.
He moves a bit faster.
Him: My Sweetness please marry me.
Who even does this? Propose while hurting me.
Him: Marry me Sweetness.
Me: Ok.
I whisper. Whoever said the real deal was nice. Lied. He goes a bit faster, making funny noises. I wish I can feel a little bit of pleasure, but it's just gut wrenching sore. He grunts loud. I guess he's done.
He gets up and goes to the walk in closet he comes back with a ring box. He opens it. I see the most beautiful understated platinum diamond, solitaire ring. If I had a choice to pick, I would have picked this one. It fits perfectly.
Me: When did you get this?
He smiles
Him: When you were lying here unconscious, I got you sized. I knew that I was never letting you go.
