My phone kept vibrating so Jabu just gave it to me.
Mpumi: We need to talk.
Mpumi: Come on, Maya.
Mpumi: I just wanna talk.
Me: What do you wanna talk about?
Mpumi: Finally. Meet me at your car.
This bitch is so fucking annoying. "I'll be back, baby," I say to Jabu and take the car keys. "You can't drive, you're drunk," he said. "I'm not driving. Mpumi wants to talk to me in the car," I said and his face changed.
"And do you want to talk to her?" he asked. "Nope. I just wanna listen to what she has to say," I say and he nods.
I unlock the car and sit in the drivers. "Hey," Mpumi said and sat in the passenger.
"You wanted to talk?" I ask flatly. "Well, I miss you," she said. "You don't. Now, talk," I say. "Maya, look... I miss you," she said and our eyes locked.
She looked like she was on the verge of crying. "You don't miss me," I said with my voice breaking.
A tear fell from her eye and I cupped her face to wipe it off with my thumb. She leaned closer and kissed me.
I pulled away quickly and anger filled me. "What's wrong?" she asked softly. "What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong?" I snap and she nodded.
"Everything is wrong, Mpumelelo. You think that you can just come back into my life whenever you feel like it! It doesn't fucking work like that! You can't do that!" I yell.
"Okay calm down," she said. "Don't fucking tell me what to do! What makes you feel so fucking entitled to me? Huh?" I exclaim.
"I love you," she said. "Get out," I whispered and she just looked at me. "Get the fuck out!" I scream and hit the steering wheel.
Anger was very clear in my tone and actions so she climbed out of the car. I locked the doors and started the car.
"You can't fucking drive anywhere. You're drunk, Maya," she yelled and slammed her hand on the window.
I drive off speedily not knowing where the fuck I'm going.
After a minute or so of driving around the estate, anger leaves my body and sadness fills me.
I parked on the side of the road and sat in the car crying. I feel like screaming. Just screaming so fucking loud.
A light knock on my window bought me up from holding the steering wheel and crying. Jabu fucking followed me.
In Lea's car was Puse and Lethu and they waved at me. I waved back and unlocked the doors.
I jump to the passenger seat and Jabu sat in the drivers. "Can I take you somewhere?" he asked.
"Where?" I asked. "Somewhere where you'll calm down," he said and I nodded.

"A shooting range?" I ask him. "A shooting range. Come on," he said and stepped out of the car.
I've always known about this place. I never thought of coming here though.
"Good day, what would you like to do today?" a young lady asked us at the front desk. "Shooting, ten bullets each," Jabu said with his hand in mine.
He paid and the lady directed us to some place. Jabu kept my hand in his the whole time and I felt safe. I felt beyond safe.
The instructor showed us how to handle the gun and Jabu paid no attention at all. We got handed our guns and I stood next to Jabu.
"Why weren't you listening?" I whisper. "Because I've done this over a million times. I know what I'm doing," he said. This boys' is just so sexy.
I watched him push the magazine up the gun and load it almost immediately. He held the gun up and pointed at his target. His index finger pulled the trigger and he hit the target right in the center. Why was that so sexy?
He finished his ten bullets as I stood in awe watching him.
"Your turn," he smiled. I loaded the gun and pointed it at my target. "Shoot," Jabu whispered from behind me.
I pulled the trigger only to have the gun push me back slightly. "You okay?" Jabu asked and I nodded.
He stood next to me and showed me how to stand when I shoot.
This is actually not bad.
