What? What did he just say? Mandisa disappeared? What does that mean? To say I was shocked was an understatement. I know some of you would crucify me for this but I was also worried...a lot. Did it mean that the bad guys got to her? Oh my gosh!
Me: "What do you mean she disappeared?" I asked panicked. I tried to sit up but the giant held me down.
Zanoxolo: "Like I said woman. She disappeared." I huffed. He was too chilled for my liking about all of this. He can't just tell me that Mandisa disappeared and leave it at that. He needed to give me more.
Me: "Zano." I said his name in frustration. He grunted.
Zanoxolo: "We found her bodyguard dead alone in his car with a bullet to his head, and Kev's woman nowhere to be found. The other guys and Kev have been searching but she's nowhere to be found." Oh my gosh! I repeat guys. Oh my gosh! What the?
Me: "Where could she be Zano?" I asked panicked... "is she....?" I trailed off terrified at the possibility that she could be also dead. I shook my head.
Zanoxolo: "There are three possibilities. It's either she's dead somewhere like her bodyguard or she's captured by the bastards who are after you which wouldn't be good because she knows a lot about us. If they torture her, she could spill and that would mean trouble for us." He told me. What the hell? I just couldn't wrap my head around all of this. Mandisa has disappeared, and they didn't know anything about her whereabouts. She could be dead like her bodyguard. Poor guy! I mean, I can't exactly remember how he looked like or anything but he was still a person, who didn't deserve to die like he did. He was shot to the head people. I just hoped that Mandisa wasn't dead even though being captured is also a terrible thing to happen but it's better than being dead. This! Wait...didn't the giant say there were three possibilities? What was the third one, because he only mentioned two?
Me: "What's the third?"
Zanoxolo: "What?"
Me: "You said there were three possibilities Zano. What's the third one?" He grunted and sighed.
Zanoxolo: "That she could be working together with the bastards that were after you in the first place." What?! No. That couldn't be. I refused to believe that.
Me: "That's crazy Zanoxolo!" I exclaimed.
Zanoxolo: "It's a possibility woman. Now stop trying to get out of my arms. I still want to hold you for a while." I rolled my eyes huffing. It's his fault. He's saying crazy things here.
Me: "Zano I refuse to believe that Mandisa is working for those bad men. No. It can't be." I said shaking my head... "didn't you say the mole was in the SASS?"
Zanoxolo: "I know for a fact the mole is from the SASS." He growled angrily.
Me: "Then why would you suspect Mandisa? Does Kevin suspect her too?"
Zanoxolo: "No he doesn't. He wouldn't. That fucker is blinded by that woman. He's going crazy now trying to find her." He told me... "it's just me who suspects her. I just find her whole disappearance suspicious but we'll see."
Me: " Zano."
Zanoxolo: "Let's hope I'm wrong woman because if I'm not, everyone who's involved in this whole mess will burn to hell." He threatened in that voice of his. I swallowed. He still scared me when he talked like this. The thing is, my giant doesn't threaten just for fun and games. He always delivers on his threats. Trust me, I would know. So I really knew that all those bad guys were going to be in big trouble. Well, saying they were going to be in big trouble was a big understatement. I didn't even want to think about what the giant was going to do with them when he found them. And what's worse was that, there was also my protector, George. To think what loads of hell they were going to bestow on them made me shiver in fear. I've never seen the giant kill someone before – and I hope I never did – but I knew he killed and that he was good at it. I've practiced with the man for months people, he's really good with his hands and gun. And George, well, I saw him in action yesterday, when he killed 15 men without breaking a sweat. Now putting the giant and George together, just imagine what a pair they were when they worked together people. Jesus! Thinking about it made me terrified even. So with all of that said, I really hoped that the giant was wrong, and that Mandisa wasn't working for the bad guys because if she was. I don't even want to think what the giant would do to her.
Me: "Are you going to leave me again?" He squeezed me sighing and kissed my head.
Zanoxolo: "Yes my heart." I closed my eyes and breathed him in... "I'm sorry." He whispered. It's amazing how my giant apologizes to me but never apologizes to anyone else. He told me before that I was the first person for him to say 'I'm sorry' to. When he had told me, I wasn't all that surprised because you all remember how my giant was when I first met him. He has gotten a little better since then. He still needs to learn not to be rude though. I'm still working on him people. It wasn't easy.
Me: "You don't need to be sorry. I just worry when you're gone and I also miss you a lot."
Zanoxolo: "This will be over very soon my heart. I promise."
Me: "I trust you." A deep growl came from his chest and he grabbed my ass possessively.
Zanoxolo: "I'm the luckiest sonuvabitch to walk this earth. I've got my woman's love and trust. What more could I want?" Oh my gosh! This man guys! He wants to kill me I tell you.
Me: "Zano I love you." He pulled my head back and kissed me. This kiss was one of the rare ones. Slow and sweet, but it was still consuming and domineering. Yum! The giant didn't have to say the words 'I love you' to me. I mean, the man called me his heart for goodness sake. What more could I want? Those words – 'my heart' – said more than enough. I really really liked it when he called me his heart. Our kissing was disturbed by a knock sounding on the door.
Zanoxolo: "That must be Killer." He said getting up and going towards the door. I sighed and sat up on the bed. I looked the time at on the clock that was on the side table. The time was 5 o'clock in the morning. Oh my gosh! It was early hours of the morning. But the way it was so bright outside you wouldn't think it was 5am. The giant opened the door and George came inside... "you got something for me?" George mumbled something I couldn't hear to the giant. After that they spoke in very low tones. I tried straining my ear because, well, you guys know how I love things, but it was hopeless because I couldn't hear anything but their deep mumblings. I huffed and rolled my eyes. I looked at my feet. You guys should have seen how ridiculous they looked. Like, they were just wrapped in bandage nje. I could see nothing but my toes. I wiggled my toes and giggled to myself. Wow. Just wow! What? You're stupid. I rolled my eyes. Whatever! I was allowed to make myself laugh at my stupidity okay? Get out of my business.
