Amahle's Diary 4

Part 4

#DAMON

Church has always been a thing for Mahle and I and today was one of those Sundays. Mahle woke me up to shower while she was left to make the bed and to wake Iya up. We wanted to raise her in a church environment, I wouldn't call us Christians because our sex doesn't meet the "Acceptable" kind of sex so basically we were believers of the lord God but we didn't consider ourselves saved let alone Christians. My problem with labelling yourself religiously you are suddenly expected to lead a certain lifestyle which best suits the church and I'm not about that life. As long as I read the bible and I pray then I'm good, my relationship with God is not determined by my relationship with the church but it's about my faith and what I believe in. After an hour or so Mahle came in the room to get dressed. She walked in with a tray of breakfast.

Her: here you go my love

She said putting it on the table.

Me: thank you beautiful

She left me and went to do her make up in the closet, we had a walk in closet in all rooms basically. She had her side which was bigger than mine and I had my own side. Hickies normally disappear after a week, well from what I've noticed. But these things are different for all of us.

Her: honey

Me: yes

Her: I was thinking

Me: about?

Her: how about Iya starts going to day-care

Me: really?! Isn't she young?

I got up and headed to the closet

Her: she's the perfect age, if she starts day care now then she can also start school at an early age

Me: there's no rush

Her: yes, but mom isn't getting any younger and neither is yours

Me: you right but do you think it's safe?

Her: well there's a day-care close by at work and according to people it's the best in town

Me: I don't know. Why not just ask our cleaner to babysit?

Her: is that a trick question?

Me: right. You don't trust nannies. But honey not all nannies are like the one you had, I mean look at sis May

Her: you right but I can't just hire anyone to take care of my child Damon

Me: you remember Luyanda right?

Her: your lesbian friend?

Me: yes. Well her sister Mandisa needs a job

Her: how old is this Mandisa?

Me: she's 19

Her: isn't she supposed to be in school?

Me: she finished matric, she's looking for a job while she decides what she wants to do with her life

Her: I don't want someone who will drop me the minute they find something better Damon and a child will do just that

Me: I don't know babe. Just interview her

Her: does she have any experience?

Me: i'll ask Lu to send me her contact details. Apparently she has a kid of her own

Her: she has a commitment. I can't have that

Me: since when are you a brat?

Her: I'm not a brat, I want someone old and mature enough to take care of our daughter. these young ones can't be trusted
