3 MONTHS LATER

-GUGULEZWE

"Daddy stop!"

Mbali pleads after her father has thrown a punch at me on my cheek

"Is this why your cousin brought you aboard? So that I wouldn't kill you?"

Mbali is standing between us as her father looks at me like he's already killed me a million times

"I suggested that Sakhile recruit him. It was the only way"

She pleads and both her father and I are as shook

"What?"

I manage to utter, she looks at me and back at her father

"It was the only way dad. You guys are sworn to loyalty and protection. Gugu is part of your gang and he took the very same oath you did so you cannot kill him or punish him unless he betrays you guys and he hasn't"

She states, he chuckles in disbelief

"You pregnant his child. How is that not betrayal?"

He fires back glaring at me

"A mistake happened dad and now we both paying for it ok! Please just accept him as the father of my child."

She pleads and her dad seems to soften up

"Leave"

He yells at me and I don't argue any further but I'm worried about Mbali, she's 5 months pregnant to be dealing with this man

"Will you be fine?"

I ask her and her father chuckles

"He's my father, he'd never hurt me"

She says confidently. I nod and leave calling Sebe. Within these 3 months I've gotten my licence and my parents got me a car as a gift for passing my matric the way I did. Things between Sebe and I have never been better. Its safe to say I've fallen in love with her, we never miss a Sunday in church. Its not easy keeping her parents from her but I have no choice but to do so until they are ready to meet her. I don't like lying to her but she's better off not knowing what I do on the side for her own safety.

She answers after a while

"Mines"

That's what she decided to call me, laying a claim on me and I don't want to lie to you its sexy and a major turn on.

"Hey cuddles, where are you?"

I ask getting in my car, its nothing fancy. Its a gti, it was actually my father's pick for some reason.

"I just got out of class, where are you?"

She asks

"I'm on my way back to campus. Let's go for lunch"

I suggest

"Ok cool then"

She says

"I love you"

I hear her giggle, I think it's my first time actually telling her

"I love you too"

She says, I smile and we say our goodbyes. I drive to campus to pick her up. Her expression changes as soon as she notices me. Ok? I'm about to hug her when her hand touches my cheek

"Gugu what happened to your cheek?"

There's worry on her face and in her voice

"Babe, I'm fine"
