Chapter 27
SIBA
ONE MONTH LATER
Work was still going good, working with Mr Marè wasn't a total drag. He's a very friendly and Polite Person.. Unfortunately Razor was still on the run, they haven't caught him as yet and I haven't heard anything about Neo. Couldn't even go to the hospital because his Mother has it out for me, and I didn't bother asking his father because it would be somehow. I tried my level best to not think munch and concentrate more on work and it helped I don't wanna lie.. Today it was pay day, my money had clocked in the early hours of the morning. It was R7000 with the extra hours I have put in. First thing I did was to pay my part of the rent, I'd rather be short with anything else but rent is more important. I sent Kat R1000 since I promised her that I was going to buy her a wig, then put R1500 in my fixed account. I have started saving up last month, I'll be saving up at least R1500-R2000 a month. Life is unpredictable, anything can happen so I need to always have money saved up on the side at all times

I sat on the toilet seat and glanced at the pregnancy test, two lines. I dated back to that night when I had sex with Dante, when we said we going to the rest rooms but in actual fact we snuck out to go and have sex.
Everything happened so fast that night, with Neo getting shot and the aftermath. I even forgot to get a morning after pill the next day, totally slipped my mind. I was confused, Dante is currently overseas and it was just a hook up nothing more.. I was so looking forward to making something of myself, seeing Siba flourishing like that and I'm just stuck in one place is not nice. It hurts deeply, and I never thought it would hurt this much.
Things are going well for her, she has a good job, possibly have something going on with Neo and I'm sure she might even buy a car soon. Where does that leave me? Nowhere.
That struggling Siba is making it, I even regretted telling her about the post, honestly I thought she was never going to get the job. Never thought they were going to hire her..
Money has totally bathe her, she dresses smart. Though her clothes don't seem expensive but she dresses well. Her physical beauty is even starting to show, the same Siba who used to wear my clothes that were torn. Now she knows how to even buy expensive wigs. Something I never thought she would afford. After getting the notification I sent her a text:
"Thank you"
She probably thinks that she's better than me now...
SIBA
The phone rang, I picked it up..
Me: Marè attorneys Siba speaking good morning
Neo: Once upon a time I acted as a hero trying to protect this other beaut! From getting shot and she totally forgot about me
Me: Ohh my word Neo!
Neo: Ohw now she remembers me?
Me: Are you okay? It's good hearing your voice
Neo: Really?
Me: I did come to see you but your Mother wasn't happy with it
Neo: No surprises there
Me: I am so happy to hear your voice how are you holding up?
Neo: How about you come and see how I am holding up?
Me: But your Mom?
Neo: Don't worry about Lorraine
Me: I'll come during my lunch break
Neo: See you then
I put the phone down with a smile on my face..
KAT
I got into his inbox and typed a message but deleted it after. So funny how we didn't even exchange numbers that day. My mom walked in..
Rose: Katlego!
I looked at her..
Rose: Have you spoken to Siba about her getting you a job in that company?
Me: Not yet
Rose: Umeleni? (What are you waiting for)
I exhaled..
Rose: You can't be beaten by Siba I refuse! Siba is beneath you! She is nothing! What were you even thinking getting her the job? You should've gotten yourself that job! Uyisilima Katlego (You are a fool)
Me: I didn't think she was going to get that job okay?
Rose: You transferred your blessings to someone else!
Me: I really don't need this from you right now
Rose: Do you know how embarrassing it is for me? uSiba prospering more than my own child? Hai maan!
She left the room..
SIBA
During my lunchtime I asked the Driver to take me to the hospital, he did. I enquired at the reception and they told me his ward. I made my way there, at least he was out of ICU. He was sitting on the bed with pillows supporting his back, he was on his laptop.
I made my way in and he closed his laptop.
It was good seeing him doing well, I don't know how I would've felt like if he died knowing that he died because of me..
I put my bag on the chair and hugged him..
Neo: Okay that was unexpected
Me: Don't ever scare me like that again
I squeezed him tight..
Neo: This is very sweet but I still have problems breathing let's not send me into ICU again
I broke the hug..
Me: I'm glad you okay
He wiped the tear that streamed down my cheek..
Neo: Didn't know you cared that much
Me: Stop it! Stop playing
Neo: I'm fine.. I'm going to be okay
Me: You have too.. We miss you at the office
Neo: Thought you would be happy getting rid of me
Me: Don't start
Neo: I'll be back soon.. Are you happy now?
Me: Maybe
I sat down on the chair..
Me: Remember what we talked about at the club?
He looked at me, I took a deep breath..
Me: I have decided to give you a chance
He raised his eyebrow..
Neo: So I had to get shot for you to give me a chance?
Me: Don't be like that
Neo: Do I now get a kiss?
I got up and kissed him..
He ran his hand on my butt, then moved down to sneak it under and up my skirt..
Me: Don't
Neo: This relationship is going to be difficult I can't even improvise
Me: So you want us to have sex in the hospital?
Neo: Never my plan but since you've said it
I wiped his lips..
Me: Don't even try it
I laid my head on his shoulder, he had his arm around my waist..
