I stupidly fell for a serial killer

CHAPTER 17

I wake up to find the other side of my bed empty. It’s a good thing though. It would’ve been really awkward to see Kheswa’s face next to mine. I get up and head to the bathroom. I wash and then brush my teeth. I head back to my room and get dressed in a short jumpsuit and flip flops. I make the bed and open the windows. I go downstairs and find Kheswa placing food on the table. He is shirtless and barefoot. He looks like an entire meal right now.

Me: “you future wife is lucky.” He chuckles and turn to look at me.
Him: “how is the hangover?” he says handing me what I think is a hangover cure. I take it and sit on one of the barstools.
Me: “not bad. Have the other couples woken up?”
Him: “they have and they have left already.”

Me: “okay.” I take a sip at the cure and frown. Damn this thing is sour and tastes bad. “What the fuck is this?”
Him: “that is not important. What’s important is that it does the trick. Now drink up so that you can eat your food.” I drink it again on one go and flinch.
Me: “damn.” He laughs.

Him: “stop being a sissy.” He takes the glass and hands me my breakfast.
Me: “this looks delicious.”
Him: “tastes even better.” He winks at me.

Senzile: “you look really handsome and I wouldn’t mind having you for supper, lunch, breakfast, I mean every hour of the day.” She says licking her lips.

We are at a restaurant and Nkonzo brought his sister so that she can meet me since she was in town. She seems to have a crush on Kheswa and this is really entertaining. I am holding in my laughter because Kheswa seems irritated. Nkonzo has tried reprimanding his sister but it’s like he is pouring water in a duck’s back. Kheswa looks at me and I just look down trying so hard not to laugh. His phone rings and he stands up.

Kheswa: “excuse me for a sec.”
Senzile: “let me go with you.” This time around I can’t hold it in. I burst out laughing.
Kheswa: “love yourself sisi.” He moves away from the table leaving me laughing and Senzile confused.

Senzile: “is he single?” she asks looking at me. Kheswa is my friend and I am starting to feel sorry for him so I just come up with a quick lie.

Me: “he is engaged and his fiancé is pregnant, that’s why she didn’t come with him.” Nkonzo looks at me like I have grown horns and I give him and intense stare. I quickly send a message to Kheswa about my lie so that it will correspond when she questions him.

Senzile: “are they getting married because of the baby? Is she trying to trap him?” I chuckle.

Me: “they are very much in love, even Nkonzo can attest to that. Right my love?” I turn to look at him with a huge smile plastered on my face.

Nkonzo: “yes Nceba is right. Plus his fiancé is a lovely lady. She is beautiful, grounded and every man’s dream.” I give him a death stare and he returns it with a smirk. Sly mother fucker. Kheswa comes back and smiles at me.
Senzile: “is it true that you are engaged?”

Kheswa: “are you trying to say that Nceba is a liar?” her eyes pop out.
Senzile: “that’s not what I was trying to say.” She stutters. The waiter brings the bill and Nkonzo gladly takes it. He pays and then we all head out.

Nkonzo: “what do you ladies wanna do?”
Senzile: “shopping. You can gladly give us your card big brother.” He grunts and give me his card.
Nkonzo: “I trust you more than her.” She laughs. I guess she knows her brother well.
Me: “what shall I buy?” Senzile pulls me to her.

Senzile: “let’s go skoni. We are going to have so much fun.” She pulls me away from the guys and we head to where the clothing shops are at. I guess she is over Kheswa now because she seems carefree, or is it the retail therapy she is about to get?

We get to Foschini and she takes a few clothes. She also pleads that I take a few. I laugh at her. I then take two dresses, two shirts and three pants. We go fit them and when we are done, we pay for them. We head to ALDO for heels. Well she is the one who takes two pairs. I have enough heels and I don’t usually wear them so I pass. We head to Takkie Town and I buy two black sneakers and two boots. Senzile also buys sneakers. She is Nkonzo’s younger sister and she is studying at University of Limpopo.

She is busy telling me that she needs new clothes. Phela repeating clothes at varsity is a turn off for her. I have never been to one but I definitely don’t think I would’ve shopped for clothes regularly. When she takes me to a lingerie store I laugh out loud. Wow this girl is naughty shame. I am sure if his brother was here, he would’ve slapped her. He is going to throw a fit when he sees a bank notification from this store.

We shop a few lingerie and I take some lacy matching underwear. You can never have enough of these things and sometimes you just forget buying them, so when the opportunity presents itself, you sure to grab it by both hands. When we are done, we head to Truworths. That’s where I shop for my cologne. I buy a cologne once or twice in a period of 4 months. Phela I don’t shower with it, I just do three puffs every day when heading to work, and that’s why it takes long for me to buy a new one.

I take two bottles of Bvlgari Goldea Roman Night perfume. Bae will have to be strong and if he is mad, I am just going to give him a lap dance and great sex after that. Senzile takes her perfume and I pay for them using bae’s card. I go to Markham’s and take a t-shirt, pants and a belt for him too so that he won’t complain, not forgetting dress shoes.

I buy a formal shirt and jeans for Kheswa with my card and then we head out. I also buy a new gym wear for him at Mr. Price Sports because he is a gym freak. I text Nkonzo and asks where they are at. He tells me that they are waiting for us at the parking lot. We head there and find them laughing so loud.

We get to different cars and head to Nkonzo’s house. He says we are going there for a few drinks. I know for sure that both these men will end up drunk by the end of the day. I really love their friendship and I love that Nkonzo isn’t insecure, he trusts that my friendship with Kheswa is a genuine one. We get to the house and I only come out with my bag and Nkonzo’s clothes, the one I bought for him. We get inside the house and I head to Nkonzo’s room to place his paper bag.

Nkonzo: “what’s in there?” he says while leaning on the doorway.
Me: “your gift.”
Nkonzo: “you are trying to soften me after bankrupting me?” I giggle and he chuckles.
Me: “if I don’t spend your money then who will spend it for you?” he laughs.

Nkonzo: “good point.” He steps inside the room and opens the bag. “Now let’s see what’s in there.” he takes out the clothes and a smile spreads out on his handsome face. “How did you know my size?”

Me: “a lady never kiss and tell.” I wiggle my eyebrows. He places his clothes on the bed and comes to hug me.
Nkonzo: “thank you.” He kisses me. “Now let’s go downstairs before Zimele kills my sister.” I burst out laughing and we head downstairs.
