The Giant and His Light : Book 2

Part Thirty Six

My heart was hurting for my man guys. Yhu! The giant had never been like this, ever. He's always been strong and confident. But now he sounded so defeated and at a loss. I hated that for him, a lot. Not my giant people! I don't want with him. Now I was angry. Angry at Sisanda. She had caused all of this. I wished I could wake her up and kill her again. That's cruel of you Busi. I guess it was but that's how I felt at that moment.
Me: "There's nothing more you can do honey. Nothing." I told him... "the problem doesn't lie with you. The problem lies with those women who are self-indulgent and want what doesn't belong to them!" I said angrily. He squeezed me to him.
Zano: "Don't get worked up woman."
Me: "No Zano. The more I think about this, the more it pisses me off. You really did nothing wrong!" He kissed my shoulder.
Zano: "Okay my heart. I did nothing wrong." I nodded satisfied... "but what am I to do with Lakhe?" I sighed.
Me: "About Lake..." I trailed off thinking... "I honestly don't know honey. All you can do is be there for him. He's in great pain now. I mean, he found out that his woman didn't love him...and that even his intimate touches...making love... were a disgust to her all of these years they've been together...and then to top it of, he killed her. I mean...yho...all of that is just too much...especially for a man. She destroyed his masculinity and pride. So it's going to be hard for him Zano. I really don't know honey. Really."He grunted.
Zano: "You women don't realize that you are the most dangerous beings to us."
Me: "Anyone that you love is going to be dangerous to you. It's just how it is. That's why it's scary to fall in love." I told him. He grunted and nodded.
Zano: "But I know my woman would never do such to me." He said confidently kissing my shoulder. Gosh! Flutters filled my stomach.
Me: "Honey..."
Zano: "Just wish all my men would find good women who are like you. Life would really be easier for me. Everybody would be happy." This man! Ugh! Don't know what to do with him when he's being overly sweet. Really.
Me: "Honey..." I blinked back tears... "you're going to make me cry."
Zano: "Just saying it as it is woman." He squeezed me... "I'm a lucky bastard." I twinkled.
Me: "I love you Zano."
Zano: "I know." He stated with so much arrogance that I laughed rolling my eyes. Eshe! You go Mr Parkinson.
Me: "But Temba, Xolile and...Luks, they also have good women." He grunted.
Zano: "Hopefully they stay like that woman. You can never be too sure. Look at how Lakhe's woman turned out to be like."
Me: "Phozisa and Phila are definitely not like Sisanda and will never be like her." I told him with surety... "and Yonda doesn't seem like the type who would...do to Luks what Sisanda did to Lakhe." He grunted and kept quiet... "what happened with Andy? You didn't kill her, did you?" I asked after a while. Look at you Busi talking about killing someone like killing is a normal and daily thing to do or chat about. My brain piped in. You're really are becoming one of them. There's no such thing! Shut up and go away! It was just a question! How was I to ask then? Tell me. I was just saying nam. Don't need to attack me. I'm not attacking you. Ugh! Just go away. As you wish!
Zano: "No we didn't kill her but she will get what's coming to her. I won't let her off this time Busi." When he called me by my name, I knew he meant serious business.
Me: "I wasn't going to say let her off the hook. Just...don't kill her." He grunted.
Zano: "Your soft and kind heart will get you in trouble woman."
Me: "It's not really about me being soft and kind, it's just that I still have my morals and beliefs when it comes to death and killing someone, especially if that someone will die or get killed because of me. I don't like it. It won't make me feel good honey." He squeezed me.
Zano: "Won't kill her woman." He vowed.
Me: "Thank you." He grunted... "and what about Baxolile?" He growled dangerously.
Zano: "Don't mention him." I swallowed at the harshness of his voice... "I've already showed him enough mercy by not killing him but he will suffer. I'll make sure of it. And when I'm done with him, he'll wish to be dead." He said coldly. Oh my gosh! ... "how dare he touch what's mine? I'm thinking of also ripping out his arms to make sure that he'll never in this lifetime go around hugging what doesn't belong to him." Oh my gosh! I shouldn't have said anything about Baxolile... "I was thinking of also ripping out his tongue, but I want him to go around warning others in that school of yours, that you don't touch what belongs to Zanoxolo Parkinson." My man is terrifying and crazy!
Me: "Zano that's crazy!"
Zano: "Never say or mention his name again Busisiwe." He warned. Oh my gosh!
Me: "I won't. I'm sorry." He grunted satisfied... "but Zano I didn't like how you talked to me earlier on when you were asking me about the picture. I did nothing wrong but you made it seem like I did." He said nothing... "I'm your woman...your heart...your light...your wife, so please refrain from scaring me the way you did. I really didn't like it. It didn't make me feel good."
Zano: "Wouldn't hurt you-."
Me: "I know that Zanoxolo. That's not the point." I cut him off... "the point is, that scary feeling wasn't nice. Especially when it's my husband that's making me feel that way." He let me go and knifed off the bed. Suddenly the bedroom light came on and I squinted my eyes from the sudden brightness. When my eyes had somewhat adjusted to the light, I found the giant's face right there, in my face. He was looking me with this look that I couldn't decipher. But it made my insides mush and my heart to kick up. He grabbed me by the neck and pulled me closer to him making our foreheads to touch. Oh gosh!
Zano: "Never again woman. You hear me? Never again." He vowed. Oh my God!
Me: "Zano-."
Zano: "I'm sorry wife." He whispered gruffly. People! ... "never again." He vowed again.
Me: "Okay honey." I said softly.
Zano: "Do you believe me?" He was staring directly into my eyes.
Me: "Yes of course. My husband is a man of his word." He growled and kissed me and I moaned kissing him back. The kiss was hot and consuming.
Zano: "Yes he is." He said against my lips. Yum! This husband of mine! His eyes softened... "I'm really sorry my light. The last thing I want to do is scare you. It's just that...when I saw that picture..." He shook his head and his eyes grew intense and hard... "I lost my mind completely and I wanted to kill someone so badly." He confessed... "but I should learn to control my anger better around you." I touched his cheek with my hand, his scruffy beard tickling my fingers.
Me: "You're an amazing man. Do you know that?" He grunted.
Zano: "Only for you woman." Yikes! I smiled.
Me: "Thank you for apologizing honey and for giving me your word." His apology and his word meant the world to me.
Zano: "Anything for my wife." He declared nipping my jaw. I giggled... "I will have to go soon to check up on Lakhe, so let's try to sleep woman." He said after a short while. I sighed. For a while there, I had forgotten about everything that had happened. I nodded. He switched off the lights and we tried to sleep. At least this time when I closed my eyes I wasn't as terrified as before when I those dead and vacant eyes haunted me. I was with my giant and I knew I was safe with him.
