I don't know what happened last night all I remember was that Thandi and i kept on taking shots, now I'm in this unfamiliar place not sure how I got here and ukuphi u Thandi

I panic when I try to move and there is this intense pain down there which can mean only one thing, I had sex.
Oh my god! Oh my god! Ngingayenza kanjan into enje!, I try to find my clothes,while  looking I find few hundreds cash and a note saying " thanks for last night gorgeous" argh! I take the cash and wear my clothes, when I get outside the room I don't know the place but from what I see I think it a hotel,I take the alevator going down, when I get outside I don't even know what side of town I'm in.

I take out my phone calling Thandi
Thandi: "Haibo ntombazane ukuphi, what happened yesterday I looked for you everywhere and you were nowhere to be seen" I just cry
Me: "Matha angazi Mina ngi kuphi Lana, I don't even remember how I got here"
Thandi :"Nandi stop crying and go on your WhatsApp share your live location I'll find you and book a cab for you you'll tell me everything when you get here" I do as she says people are looking at me like I'm crazy I don't care I just wanna get out of here, when I'm done Thandi tells me the cab is on the way.

When I get to Thandi' s place I cry more I'm even worried about my grandmother I slept out we didn't agree on that, I have to go home now
Thandi : "thank God you safe I was so worried I don't know what happened yesterday one minute you dancing with this guy, the next I don't see you I looked everywhere, then I just decided to come here I thought maybe I'll find you here I'm sorry I didn't look after you God knows something could've happened to you what would I have said to your grandma " thandi talks a lot sometimes without even taking a break
Me:" can you please take me home we'll talk some other time I'm sure ugogo is worried " she takes the car keys she can tell I don't want to talk, when I get home
Grandma:" We Nandi mangithi shawa umoya angshongo ukuth ungabuyi"ok she's  angry
Thandi : "gogo siyaxolisa bandla kube iphutha lami, imoto ivele yaphelelwa u petrol kwamele silinde umnikazi wayo asilethele it was so late Nandi couldn't come home" thandi respond to gogo before I can reply
Grandma: "Pho awufonanga ngani Nandi usho"
Me: "ngyaxolisa gogo I phone yami icimile"
Grandma: "ay Nandi Maan! Phela Mina angsazi noma seku khona okukvelele" I say sorry again I just want to sleep, I tell Thandi goodbye and I go to my room to sleep

I wake up later I bath and go the kitchen to find something to eat
Grandma : "usuze wavuka ntombi" I guess she's no longer angry
Me : "yebo gogo Ey bengikhathele, I'm so hungry is there something to eat here"
Grandma : "yes baby there is yesterday's left overs in the fridge" I warm up the food while eating I talk to Thandi on WhatsApp telling her about this morning and that I had sex with the stranger
Thandi : "ngyaxolisa yazi mngani I should've looked after you, you were so drunk"
Me : "It not your fault Matha nawe you were drunk nje, I'm just glad I'm home safe" I just wonder who is the guy I had sex with, but I'm glad he used condoms I saw them in the morning while looking for my clothes.
Thandi : "do you even remember the sex?"
Me: I don't remember anything, by the pain down there it shows kuth bekushubile, I'm sure he thought I was a prostitute he left a cash and a note "
Thandi: "I'm sorry friend"
Me: "Ey Matha let me sleep tomorrow it another day to go job hunting, isizosiza imali Ye stranger"
Thandi: "OK Nandi sokhuluma ksasa" I put my phone down and finish up eating, when Im done I do the dishes.
Me: Gogo "sengiyolala see you tomorrow "
Granny: "kulungile Nandi ulalekahle" when I get to my room I just sleep
