-GUGULEZWE
The drive home is a silent one until Aunts phone rings and soon mom's voice comes through the car speakers.
"Hey Sisi"
Mom says sounding happy
"Hey. How are you? Merry Christmas"
Mom giggles
"Thank you, merry Christmas to you too. We are good thanks and you sound good"
Mom say and my aunt giggles
"Our sons shine today in Church, Gugu woo'd everyone with his voice and Sakhile actually preached"
She says and Sakhile and I exchange glances. Women!
"You lie! They did? Aaaah I'm so happy and proud. You should send me a video"
Mom says
"I will. How was your Christmas?"
Aunty asks
"It was great babe, where are the boys?"
Mom asks and Sakhile and I open the car doors and walk in the house. We've already dropped off Gogo Mabuza.
"So you and Sebe"
He says with a smile, I chuckle
"She's not mine"
I say dismissing him
"You handled her like she was yours. But dude you need to stay away from Sebe, she's Sabelo's"
He warns
"If she was then she wouldn't have kissed me back"
I say leaving him but he follows behind me
"As if you gave her a choice. Gugu Sebe is Bulo's best friend and you my cousin. I care about you all but Sebe is a special girl bruh so don't hurt her"
He says using that serious tone of his
"Relax. I have no intentions of pursuing Sebe, at least not now. She'll be the one pursuing me"
I say with a smug, Sakhile gives me a confused look
"That Mbali chick is cute"
I say throwing myself on the bed, just then my phone rings, its a number I don't recognize
"Hello"
The person doesn't respond but I can hear the person breathing
"Hello?"
"Hi, this is Mbali"
She says, her voice is so sweet and so cute I can imagine her at my mercy
"Mbali?"
I ask
"We met at church today and you accompanied me home"
Sh explains. God her voice is adorable. Sweeter than Sebe's, its a little husky but seductive too
"I remember now. I didn't think you'd call"
I say and she chuckles
"I wasn't planning to but your number is not available on whatsapp"
She explains, I laugh
"Who still uses whatsapp?"
I ask
"I do. This Is my number"
She says
"I'm kidding. I'll hit you up later. Got any plans?"
