Turning Table

Part 39

***love is only a sweet poison for the weakling, but for those with a lion's heart, it is the reverently reserved wine of wines***

I look at this place and I smiled to myself, this is the platform I need to start all over, a chance to leave the ghetto and to be independent again. 

Me: I will take it "
The lady looked at me with a raised eyebrow, she is one beautiful lady I must say, she looks mixed,  colored with a big ginger afro, her future reminds me of someone that I know but I just can't seem to put my finger on who it is though?
Her: are you sure?"
I smiled and looked at her
Me: yes I am certain"
She nodded,
Her: ok will draft your contract, it will be good for signing when you report for duty"
Me: ook thank you "
Her: Ooh and Mpume be mindful I'm just a senior manager in this place, I  mostly run the upstairs bar so the one lady you need to impress is Miss Rose who overlooks everything in here"
Me: I will do my best "
Her: good then... So I have your contact and will call you when the paperwork is ready"
Me: Thank you Ms. Ginger this means a lot "

She smiled, we shook hands, both stood up,  she walked me out and finally when I was outside I screamed
" did you get the job ?" that was Liya text
I decided to text her back
" yes, I can't believe I'm going to be your boss"
Her: LoL the hell will you ever be the boss of me! "
I laughed shaking my head,  making my way to the taxi stop,
thanks to Liyana for giving me this opportunity God knows where would I have ended up if she did not take me in,

I was smiling to myself, I was so happy that I did not even mind the  Durban sun, even though I wish my skin was not this light because I know that this heat will leave my skin red, finally, I find a shaded area and now the waiting begins, 5min of waiting for a public transport felt  like an hour to a person like me who hates waiting

A car park in front of me and my heart skips a beat, looking at how flashy the car is.
The dimmed windows slide down and my mouth slightly opened as my eyes meet the driver.

"Do you need a ride?" He said looking at me,
Me: yes...but I don't think you can take me to where I'm going "
He smiled looking at me, his teeth too white for his skin color, I could not see his eyes since his wearing sunglasses, but I noticed that his a bit older judging  from the gray strands of hair in his beard
Him: baby girl gets in the car...before you turn tomato red"

I bite my lip, I looked in the direction of where the taxi should be coming but nothing in sight,  I looked at the car in front of me and I decided to press my phone typing Liyana
" I'm about to get in the car, of this hot man I'm nervous as but I'm taking my chances"
I press send and sigh jumping in the car,
He smiles and looked at me,
Him: so where is this place you thought I would not go to?"
I faintly smile looking at his arm that was covered in tattoos, his gold watch, and the gold ring on his pinky finger,
Me: uuuum I'm going...."
His phone ranged making me hold what I was about to say to him

"This better be good..."
He said answering his phone and his tone or should I say accent changed it foreign African kinda foreign my heart stopped as I also notice that his stereo was playing African song, ... I turned to look in the backseat and I saw white and black roses on a black and white ribbon, Ooh shit Mpume what have you gotten yourself into now? I swallowed as I looked at the guy.

Today I have been doing nothing but daydreaming of the night I had with Ntsika we don't have a title on it yet but whatever that is developing between us feels so damn good,

We talked a lot even though I felt like he left a lot of loose ends on his side of the conversation and restricted me from asking questions with kisses in between that made me forget everything, I guess I was caught up in the moment that I never thought that tomorrow will come.
He drove me home after midnight because I had to prepare for work, I was even shocked that he can drive
"I can do a lot of things Liya some things I will just have to show you for you to believe me"
It how he said it that got me blushing like crazy, damn he knows how to work my button
