The Assistant

Chapter 18

Today I am meeting up with Nkosi for lunch. So during my lunch break I am heading out to that lunch just around the corner. This guy can't take a I'm busy for an answer. I've been preaching 'busy' but he doesn't seem to get it. Oh and by the way I concurred my fears of meeting Brian and his crazy self was like "don't be shy and worry. We wouldn't mind having you as a makoti(in law) kwaDlomo". Mxm crazy much. It's only an hour before lunch. His cologne feels my office and I just know that he is in and didn't knock. At least I developed knocking manners now cause I don't want to walk on him and Primrose naked cause I can see it's leading there.

"Ever heard of a knock Mr Dlomo?" I ask with my head still bowed down.

"I'm glad that you can even sense my presence maMtimande" he says coming closer.

There goes me being angry with him. The way he calls me maMtimande does wonders to me. I lift my head to look at him and whooooa why does this man look different every time. He has  trimmed his hair and beard. Jizas lawd!!! You are staring Tali. My annoying voice states.

"I'm pretty sure it's for the thousand time I tell you that a picture lasts longer but keep on staring cause I like it when you just get lost in me" he says pressing his phone. Corky much!!!!

"Mxm. How can I be of your assistance?" I asks and he chuckles

"Why didn't you tell me that you passed your bar exam and applied at the High Court" he says with a changed facial expression that I can't read

"Because I first wanted to share it with my dad then tell everyone" I say in my defence but in actual sense that's about it.

"Congratulations. So you are leaving as soon as your application is approved?" He asks. I can't miss the sadness in his voice

"Yes I am. I just need that experience of being an attorney. I enjoy being your assistant but that's not what I desire or where I see my self in the coming years" I answer.

"Oh okay. I know for a fact that they'll take you. Your articles and marks are speaking for you" he says.

He's trying to be happy but I can see he's not. I am good with reading people's reaction and with this one in front of me. He makes it easy cause he is open and always jolly so the moment his mood changes I can tell. We have been quite close, it's almost close to two years working for him, partying with him and the kisses in between. I think distance also will help in erasing my desire to twerk on his dick. You know I am starting to think there's something wrong with me. Every guy I meet calls the first time and then after that they disappear when I call back it goes to voicemail. Maybe I am not cut to be loved or to have the D. Maybe I am cursed

"Penny for your thoughts" Zwe asks. Oh I wandered while he is here

"Nothing much. You know I am starting to think that maybe I am cursed in terms of relationships. I mean there are several guys I met but they call me once and disappear into thin air, like no message or explanation they just nje" I say. Half problem shared is half one solved

"Maybe they are scared of your perspective of them don't you think the fact that you think we are conniving bastards makes them act that way. Man also want a future with someone Tali so the moment you tell them you are not ready for that they remove themselves from that equation" he says. It makes sense

"Yeah I get that but all I want from them is just what's in between their legs nothing much. Can't they just tap and go." I say and he widens his eyes...... "For real it's not like I have met a potential guy that I would want to be in a relationship with, all of them are just good vibe from the get go but no love. Well let me not make it as though I have had countless ones it's just 4 counting my ex" I add.
