The Giant and His Light : Book 2

Part Five

Zanoxolo: "Do you have the phone baby?" We were now parked in front the church. The conversation the giant had with his mother was still reeling in my head. She had practically called me a liar people. I mean she knows, I know and you guys also know how she took over the preparations of the wedding. Like, I couldn't even have an opinion, and if I did, she would shut me down. I honestly didn't mind planning the wedding with her at first because I didn't know where to start planning for a wedding, especially for a wedding that was going to be big as this one, but she ended up being all dictatorial over everything. Now she didn't want the giant to marry me because she said I was driving a wedge between them... "baby." I blinked snapping out of my thoughts.
Me: "Yes I have the phone." The giant had given me his second phone to use in the meantime so that he could reach me when I wasn't with him. He grunted.
Zanoxolo: "I told you not put everything my mother said to heart woman."
Me: "But how can I not Zano? It's clear she doesn't like me."
Zanoxolo: "So what if she doesn't like you? It doesn't matter if she likes you or not."
Me: "Of course it matters Zano. She's your mother!" I shouted.
Zanoxolo: "So what if she's my mother? You're marrying me not her...right?" Hee.
Me: "Yes, but-."
Zanoxolo: "No buts woman. The only thing that matters is that you're my heart. What other people think or say about that fact are irrelevant."
Me: "Zano I don't want to come between you and your mother." I told him softly.
Zanoxolo: "You're not woman. My mother needs to realize that I'm a grown man and she can't dictate who I can and cannot marry. End of story."
Me: "Maybe we should wait and not get married-."
Zanoxolo: "Don't piss me off." He growled dangerously.
Me: "Zano I'm just-."
Zanoxolo: "Do you want me to put you over my knee and teach you a lesson for all to see in front of your church?" That shut me up. No. I definitely didn't want that. Gosh! Just imagine if that happened, I would never be able to face anyone at church. I would literally stop going kaloku... "don't ever say that crap to me again. Do you hear me Busisiwe?" Oh boy! He was pissed. His hands were closed tightly in fists on top of his lap.
Me: "I'm sorry." I said softly.
Zanoxolo: "You want to hurt me, is that it? Because if it is, then you've succeeded." What? No. I never wanted to hurt my giant.
Me: "No Zano. Never. Hurting you is the last thing I want to do. I was just suggesting-."
Zanoxolo: "You don't want to marry me anymore?" He asked angrily. I could also detect a hint of hurt in his tone. Oh my gosh!
Me: "Zano! I didn't say that. You know I want to marry you. I love you." I told him. He didn't say anything. He was looking straight ahead with his jaw ticking. How did things take a turn like this?... "Zano... "I pulled on his t-shirt lightly.
Zanoxolo: "Go inside the church Busisiwe. You're already late." He said without looking at me. My heart squeezed in painfully.
Me: "I'm sorry Zano. It wasn't my intention to hurt you. Please." I said in shakily. My tears had already formed in my eyes. You guys know me. I'm a crybaby.
Zanoxolo: "Don't do that." He said angrily..."so every time you mess up or hurt me, you're going to use your tears against me to forgive you since you know I hate to see you in tears? Is that it?" I shook my head with tears rolling down my eyes.
Me: "No Zano. It's not like that. I'm not crying to use my tears against you. I'm sorry I hurt you. Please forgive me."
Zanoxolo: "Go inside the church. I have work to do. The men are waiting behind for you to get out so that we can go."
Me: "Zano please." I begged holding his fist in my hands.
Zanoxolo: "If I asked you to give me back the ring you're wearing now, would that make you feel good?"
Me: "No!" I said crying pressing my hand on my chest. The pain that I felt in my heart was unbelievable people. It felt like someone was squashing it.
Zanoxolo: "That pain you're feeling now is how I felt when you were suggesting that crap to me." Oh my gosh! When he put it like that I felt crappy as hell.
Me: "Zano I'm so-sorry."
Zanoxolo: "Okay, I hear you. Now get out." Oh my gosh! He still wasn't looking at me. I put my hand on my mouth trying to stop myself from crying out but it didn't help... "fuck fuck fuck!" He said hitting the steering wheel, and then he put his fist against his mouth... "please stop crying-." A knock from my side window cut him off. It was one of the guys who were in the youth group at church with me. His name was Musa. I stopped crying and wiped my tears, and then I pressed down the window.
Musa: "Hey are you fine? Is he abusing you or something?" Before I could answer him, the giant had his gun out and pointed at Musa. Oh my gosh! This guy!
Zanoxolo: "Run son...run before I blow your fucking brains off." Musa didn't even waste time. He ran away so fast through the gate of the church like the wolves were chasing him. I was shocked to even say anything... "who's that grasshopper to you?" He barked angrily putting away his gun.
Me: "He's nothing to me!" 
Zanoxolo: "Then why does he see the reason to enter where he's not wanted?"
Me: "I don't know. Maybe because he saw me crying and he got worried and wanted to check-."
Zanoxolo: "He wants to fuck you. I'll kill him." He growled. This man.
Me: "Zano don't be crazy. He doesn't want to fuck me!" I shouted. He grunted... "and you can't kill him."
Zanoxolo: "So you care about him being dead or alive but you said he was nothing to you." Oh my gosh! I looked at him with my mouth opened. I didn't even know what to say to that. Like, what the? ... "how many men in that church are sniffing around you just like that fucker is?" What? I blinked. Where was this coming from now? The giant wanted to give me a whiplash today really.
Me: "No one is sniffing around me you damn giant." I said irritated.
Zanoxolo: "Did you tell them that you have a man? Maybe I should introduce myself to all those bastards in there and see after that, if they'll keep sniffing around what's mine." Oh my gosh!
Me: "Zano stop this. Don't be crazy. No guy is attracted to me at church, trust me." He snorted.
Zanoxolo: "If you really believe that, then you're stupid, woman."
Me: "I'm not!" I snapped.
Zanoxolo: "Make sure you tell every single one of those bastards about me or else I'll do it myself. And I'm sure you don't want that."
Me: "You're crazy!" I hit his arm. He grunted.
Zanoxolo: "I don't care. Just make sure you do as I tell you woman."
Me: "Why are you being like this?"
Zanoxolo: "Because your ass is mine. Mine alone." He told me... "and.." He grabbed my chin making me look at him in the eyes... "if you ever say what you said to me earlier on, I will paint that ass of yours so red that you won't be able to sit down for a month" He growled. Oh my gosh! He looked serious and a little scary right now... "do you understand me woman?" I swallowed.
Me: "You're scaring me." I told him softly.
Zanoxolo: "Good." Then he pressed his lips against mine hard... "now get your ass out of my car woman." He said letting go of me.
Me: "You're unbelievable." I told him irritably. He grunted... "and annoying." He grunted again... "and frustrating." Silence... "and rude." Silence... "and-."
Zanoxolo: "And yours." He stated strongly. I closed my mouth and huffed. He chuckled lightly. Argh.
Me: "Bye." I said opening the door.
Zanoxolo: "Enjoy church my heart." I rolled my eyes at him even though my heart was melting a little inside. I was sick. I got out and closed the door behind me, and he drove off with the other cars following after him.
