Broken Clocks

The Loss

It's been a month since i found out about my pregnancy , I'm now 17 weeks pregnant and it's been a rollercoaster , the next months are going to be long i can feel it. Mnqobi is madly in love with the pregnancy and has been treating me like I'm sick or something. He even tried persuading me to quit work but i told him thats one thing I'm not doing. My baby bump isn't showing yet. That's the nice part of having a bit of a pot belly. It's lunch time and I'm in my office brushing my stomach . I'm hungry, i should probably go get some lunch and pass by Mnqobi's office as well. Maybe I'll get a quickie or something . Don't look at me like that, this baby has been making me horny as hell ! I drive to The Eat and get two turkish dishes.

"Mrs Zulu" the receptionist Noluntu utters as she smiles at me. "Hey Nolu how are you?" I smile at her , " I'm good thanks and yourself ? " she answers back with a grin. " Im good sisi is Mr Zulu in ? " , "Yes and you lucky he just got out of a meeting , you may go right in." I smile at her and proceed to his office. I get to his floor and his office door is slightly opened and there's also some laughter coming from there. As i get closer it gets closer. I take a peak and I'm shocked at what i see. What is she doing here?! oh someone better hold me ! I burst in and they quickly move their eyes to me

Mnqobi: Ma ka Nyezi this is a nice surprise

Yep I'm ma ka Nyezi now , after telling him about the pregnancy he decided that the child would be Nkanyezi , iNkanyezi yethu and i loved it!

I walk up to the table and place the goody bag on the table

Mnqobi : please excuse us Miss Ntuli

She throws me a look and leaves . This man owes me questions.

Mnqobi : sthand-

Me: don't sthandwa sami me what is she doing here ??

He rubs his forehead

Mnqobi: Ma Ka Nyezi please believe me mangithi i had no idea she'd apply for the job . Khulekani conducted the interviews and picked the best candidate, mina ngabona ngaye sekaqhamuka sekaqashiwe and Khulekani didn't know that we have history at that time

Me : and it didn't cross your mind to fire her and get the second best candidate?

He gets up and walks to my side and squats before me as he takes my hands into his.

Mnqobi : Sthandwa sam i did , i talked to HR and asked them to revoke her contract but they told me it was impossible and i wanted to tell you all this time but i didn't wanting you stressing the baby and getting worked up over nothing .

I look at him for a minute before sayiny anything.

Me: it better be just about work , Mnqobi i swear should she look at you inappropriately or you do some crazy shit I'll literally cut your dick off and shove my hand up your ass and grab your insides don't test me.

Mnqobi : Oh..kay that was very graphic even for you.

I throw him a look and he chuckles and plants a kiss on my lips and it sends butterflies to my clit.

Mnqobi: please trust me Ma Ka Nyezi i won't do anything to jeopardize what we have , you and the baby are my life , i meant it whem i said i only have eyes for you and no one else , ngiyakthanda yezwa?

A smile forms on the corner of my lips and i nodd. He gets up and fixes his belt i can't help but stare at his bulge. "So what are we having for lunch?" He asks as he opens the goody bag. I don't answer him as I'm still staring at 'uShaka'. "This smells amazing!" He says as he opens his meal and inhales it as the amazing spices used dance around his office. "MaZulu?" He calls and follows my eyes to where they are glued and as soon as he realizes, he lets out a sigh.
