Fisokuhle and I are going to the mall because he figured its about time we start buying clothes for the twins since he is so excited about having kids. He said I should just pick anything the babies may need, and it doesn't matter the price because he has budgeted a lot of money for his kids, and they are Sangwenis' after all so we can even buy the whole shop if we wanted to. He has been brushing my tummy and talking to the twins like they are real people. He is driving and he is so happy I don't think I have seen him this happy.
"I was thinking of buying that open space near the rank and build a small complex for shops and lease it to a super market, the people have to go two hours to buy groceries. Which is costly for the people so me bringing the complex here would help the people save and I will make money." He says and I am impressed I like his plan. "That's a great idea but do you have that much to buy and build?" I ask. "I do, I already have the funding for it. Lets just say my twin and I will be the ones building the complex since building material is cheaper here." He says. " That's great news Sangweni." I say. He smiles. "I have always wanted to do my own thing rather than being in my dads' shadow and avoid all the family politics." He says and I guess he has a lot of things to be grateful for.
The baby shop has everything we need, but I don't plan on taking everything with me. I don't want to strain his pockets, he may have said I should take anything and everything but I should be considerate I don't want him to go broke because we are having kids. I take a lot of matching clothes and there are a lot of cute clothes here I don't know what to take and what to leave, surprisingly Fisokuhle is also choosing clothes, he is showing me what clothes would look good on his kids. "Don't you want some maternity clothes, I see your clothes are starting to get tight." He says examining me. What? "Wow, you never stop amazing me. I am fat say it." I say snapping. "Yoh I didn't mean to offend you, I thought I was pointing out the obvious. " He says.
I hate that he is right, my clothes are now getting small, Most of my clothes don't fit me anymore. I pick a few clothes, I will come back to this store next time when I have my own card, the clothes are amazing. "So that's all you are taking?" He asks. "Yes, I cant take a lot of things for now. Not until I have my own place." I say. "Oh about that I will need your help with looking for a place an apartment or something close to you. So we can stop going to Siyandas' house everytime I am here." He says. "Oh okay whats the budget?" I ask. I don't know if I am happy with the way he is spending these days. "What's this obsession with budgets these days?" He asks. " Nothing, just that I don't want us to go bankrupt before even the kids are born." I say. "Don't worry yourself about finances." He says. Mhh the man drives a polo for God sake and he tells me not to worry about finances what a joke.
We finish buying the baby things and clothes. "When are you going back?" I ask. "I am going to be here for a few days. Misokuhle is also coming over today." He says. "Oh really why didn't you say? Lets get some groceries so I can cook for you before I go home." I say. "On that note lets get you a phone, I want to get you on the phone when I call." He says and we start at the phone shop. I am not really a fan of expensive phones so I am taking a phone that I will buy with my own money I don't want to abuse Fisokuhles' kindness. I am starting to get tired, my feet are now showing me flames, but I need to get the groceries first. We walk into the shop and I take a few of the things I will need for the planned meal.
Okay I think this is it. I bought some extra things because I know he will eat take away all the time he is here. I get to the till and there is a beautiful lady there she must be my moms' age. I greet her, and she greets back with a huge smile. "You are so beautiful, and you and your husband look good together." She whispers to me while Fisokuhle is looking at something on his phone is bored already and he is annoyed by all this I have been moving from shop to shop comparing prices for things and to him its all the same, he doesn't get that some shops are expensive because they are a certain brand. I want to correct her but I like the thought of Fisokuhle being my husband. "Thank you." I smile at her. I place the groceries in the trolley.
"You always greet these people who work in the tills, I think that's beautiful and she is right, you are beautiful." He says making me blush. "Why didn't you correct her when she said I am your husband? Is it because you like hearing her say it?" He asks. I don't know how to answer. He looks at me with a smirk. "Don't worry, I will make you my wife sooner than you think." He continues with that smirk. I blush. "Anyway I am tired my feet hurts and I am hungry I could eat a cow." I say. "Oh do you want us to buy something? Or you still don't want food from these restaurants that exploit your people?" He asks and I feel he is mocking me, I want to cry but not here please, tears please stop it don't fall don't you dare! My tears are not listening to me I feel them falling. I am offended by what he said.
He looks at me confused. "I am sorry, what did I do?" He asks and raises his eyebrows. He is embarrassed because people are looking at him now. "Yoh I am sorry can you please stop crying, people are looking at us now." He says and smiles awkwardly at the people passing us. I am trying to stop the water works but they aren't ready to stop. "Sis are you alright? Do you need our help? Is this man doing something to you." This lady she is probably my age, asks looking concerned. Oh my God these hormones are something else why am I crying really? "I swear I didn't do anything, she just started crying." He tries to explain to the lady, but the lady is more concerned about me. "No I am fine." I say and the tears are stopping. She looks at us once more she leaves. "Yoh, you have drama." He says. I feel the urge to cry again, but I hold it in.
We walk silently to the car. He opens the door and helps me in. He then packs everything in the back. He is upset. "What was that?" He asks. "I am sorry I cant control these tears they come out whenever, and please bring some Pizza I am craving it, and maybe some hot wings, and don't you dare make me feel guilty for eating these foods." I say. He lifts his hands up like he is giving up. He leaves the car and I play some music while studying my new phone and taking a few pictures. I look like crab but whatever, my man thinks I look hot. He comes back after 30 minutes, and Indulge in the food and they taste so good. Why did I ignore such food for such a long time I was missing out. He keeps looking at me and he smiles. "You amaze me a lot. I don't know if its my kids doing this to you or this is just you." He says. I don't care what he has to say I am just hungry and this food tastes good.
We get to the house and Misokuhle is here already I see his car parked. I am too tired I doubt I will cook. I just want to sit down comfortably. I leave him in the car he is taking the groceries and the things we bought. Misokuhle is sitting on couch playing play station I think. I sit next to him. "Where did you leave my brother?" He asks. Misokuhle doesn't greet, he just talks without any greetings. "He is carrying groceries and some baby things there outside." I say. He stands up and goes outside I think he is going to help his twin. They both cooked and I must say the food is amazing, Apparently their grandmother MaNgema taught them how to cook, and they cook amazing food. I might just enjoy having two boyfriends lol. Fisokuhle stopped me from cooking because he saw how tired I am. My man is considerate.
