The next morning I was up before sunrise. I started a fire and began prepping vegtables for the day. I saw a light from Gogo's hut and she came outside. "Morning Gogo." I said prepping everyones cups for tea.

"Morning. You're up early. The sun is not even out yet. I brought you an extra candle." I thanked her and started on my carrots. I had to pots of water boiling. A smaller one for tea and a big one for pap.

She left me to it. The villagers started waking up and one of them was walking towards me. "Morning sisi.  I was sent to say thank you for yesterday." She said. She seemed older than me but she was extremely shy. "There's no need to thank me. I was just doing the neighborly thing. We had more than enough." She smiled.

"I see you're up extra early." She said looking at the vegtables. "Yes, I've been given the cooking duties." I said and checked on the water. "Oh? Alone?" I nodded. "Is it because of yesterday?" I didn't want to answer. I didn't need her to feel bad. "What if I go get a few ladies and we help you?" Her face lit up as she asked. "Really? You'd do that?" she nodded and ran away excitedly.

She came back with a group of women. They were all carrying crates and trays. They set up a long station for us to work at. They introduced themselves and we got to work. The ladies sitting by the crates were pealing and cutting vegtables and a couple of us were making porridge for breakfast. People started waking up and I served tea.

Moses was still in the hut so I took a cup and went to him. "Baba." He opened his eyes and smiled. "Good morning." I said and he sat up. "I brought tea." I could see he looked uncomfortable. "Morning Mamakhe. Where are those tablets?" I got it for him but I was still worried. "How's your back?" He took a sip of his tea. "Not as bad as yesterday. How's the cooking? I'm hungry." I couldn't help but giggle. "The cooking is going well. The ladies from the village are helping me." He looked surprised.

"What? Yesterday they wouldn't even allow us to get water and they're helping you?" I nodded. "You're amazing. Do you know that? You're amazing." He came closer to me as if he wanted to kiss me but he stopped himself. We sat there awkwardly with our faces just inches apart.

"What are all of you doing here?! Where's MaZulu?! MaZulu! MaZulu!" I heard my name being yelled. "I need to go." He sighed but I left because I didn't want to see the look of disappointment on his face.

"Yes! Here I am! What's the problem?!" She pushed my shoulder and I almost fell back. "You lazy bitch! Did you really think you could give your chores to these people and I would just allow it?! Do you think it's right that your family eats food from strangers?! The same strangers who wouldn't allow us to get water the other day. What if they poisoned the food?!" She pushed my head with her finger.

"You stupid bitch!" Moses and Nozipho came running out and she took it as an opportunity to jump on me. She got one punch in and they pulled her off.

"Sizwe! Sizwe come get your wife!" Moses yelled for her husband I was crying silently in Moses's arms. "What is going on out here!" I heard Gogo's voice. "Baba, take me away." I whisper and he walked me back to our hut.

"Mamakhe, your nose is bleeding." He got me a tissue. I held my nose and cried into his chest. "MaZulu?" It was Gogo. "Is she okay?" Moses just nodded. "MaZulu!" Nozipho came running in. "Let me see your face." Moses let me go. "I didn't do anything." My voice was shaking and I started crying again. I felt stupid. "Come let's go to the big hut." We all followed Gogo.

"Moses."
"Sizwe, I don't have time for you and your wife right now. Leave us alone." He said sternly. I sat down and Gogo looked at my face. "This is why the elders should've been here. I don't know why they decided to send their kids alone. That woman has been on a power trip since she set foot here and the others have been following her like sheep. Here, drink this. It's tea. It should calm you down."

"Mama." Buhle woke up. She took one look at me and started crying. The blood from my nose probably scared her because she wouldn't come to me. "Sawubona Gogo. Breakfast is almost ready and the women want to know if we should continue with the food." The lady who helped me this morning asked and Gogo went out with her.

"I need to wash my face." I got water and washed myself and went back out to the ladies. I dished for Moses and found him in the hut. "I didn't feel like eating with everyone else after what happened." I sat down to eat with him.

"Moses." He hummed in response. "I love you." He looked worried. "I love you too but what's going on? Are you having... You know... Thoughts..." I shook my head. "No. I just wanted you to know that I love you." He still looked a bit worried. "I love you too."

After breakfast I went back outside and cooked with the ladies. We sang and told stories. We were having an amazing time and everyone was enjoying the food. The kids were playing and the men were planing all the traditions that go with a funeral since the elders were taking too long.

That night they were having a meeting and planning to go into the city. I took a bath and got ready for bed. Gogo gave us an extra mattress so Moses could sleep better so I made the bed. Moses was taking took long so I decided to get under the covers.

When he came back he prepared his water and took a bath as well. I couldn't help but stare. I felt like a weirdo but I missed him and I missed sex. When he finally came to bed he smelled so good that I couldn't help it. "Moses." He hummed in response. He sounded tired but I needed him. I got on top of him and started kissing his neck. He smacked my ass and turned us around quickly and started kissing me.

I don't know what came over him but he tore my dress open and groaned. "Oh, I've missed you Mamakhe." He started sucking and bitting in my nipples and it drove me crazy. "Mm. Baba please." I begged. "Be patient." He pulled on my nipple with his teeth and it sent shivers down my spine. Before I knew it I heard my underwear rip.

Moses groaned and I opened my legs wider. "I can't believe all of this is mine." He said before he started licking my pussy. "Baba." I moaned and clutched my mouth closed. We were too close to the other huts for me to be moaning like that. "Shh baby." He said and blew on my clit. It was driving me crazy and I had to stop him immediately.

I sat up and held onto his head. "Do you want me to stop?" I sighed.  I needed it. I was so horny but I didn't want to embarrass us more. "If you don't stop I'm going to be moaning so loud the whole village is going to hear me. I want you. No, I need you but not here." He groaned. "Mamakhe please. Look how wet you are baby. Come on." He put a finger in my and I bit in my lips. I buried my head in his neck as he added another finger.

I was fighting my moans trying to keep quiet. All that could be heard was my panting and sloshing between my legs. "You're so tight Mamakhe." I was so close. So so close and then he stopped. We kissed and he let us lay back. "You have to stay quiet okay." I nodded my chest was moving up and down rapidly. He pulled his pants down and pulled the blanket over us. I blew out the candle next to me and all that could be heard was the sound of nature outside.

I moaned softly when he slid inside me. "Shh." I buried my head in his neck again to muffle the sound of my panting. He thrusted slowly and I loved the pace. He started panting too. I was on the verge of cumming and he knew that. "Baba." I whispered as my legs started shaking. "Wait for me Mamakhe. Hold it baby. Hold it." It was torture but it felt so good. "Let go." He said and we both came. My whole body shook and I saw stars. Moses body was stiff against mine as he came in me and I enjoyed every second of it.

The tension finally left our bodies and we were breathing heavily. We started kissing as we came down from our high. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too."
