Turning Table

Part 66

***Some part of me can't wait to see what life's going to come up with next! Anticipation without the usual anxiety***

Few weeks into a relationship and Sandile is already acting like my life partner then just a man I meet a few months ago.

He had no hick up's or what's so ever in telling me about his past, while I, on the other hand, did not want to touch on the fact that my husband abused me for year's and I have major trust issues.
He says he knows how I feel because he was once that kind of man my husband was to me,  with him undergoing rehabilitation he has found ways to heal my hidden scars and for that, I feel more connected to him.

You see when you fall in love at my age, it’s like you’re taking everything you’ve learned in life and pouring your best self into your new love. And Sandile 's action showed me that he is doing the same right back. The ingredients that make falling in love at my age wonderful I would say it's self-awareness, maturity, vulnerability, authenticity, and appreciation for everyday

It so crazy, but after our second night we share together, I fell in love with him, It was so totally unexpected, but the new relationship had all the components of what my heart desired, I know it may be too soon to pinpoint what I assume might be Love,  but in my new found relationship there is respect, trust, likability, attraction, chemistry and a lot of laughter. I feel like he just gets me, and there is something about this whole thing of being in a relationship with him, that feels very... very right.

" Ms. Rose this came for you," one of the security guys said to me,
I looked at the gift box and smiled, it can only be Sandile
" mmmm another gift?"
Ginger said walking towards me with an annoyed expression,

A part of me still wishes to beat the shit out of her, on the other hand, another part of me has more questions that need answers than any beating I can give to her,
Me: you late again?"
I said not even looking at her,
Her: I had things to do "
Me: ooh konje you are the boss in this place you walk in and out as you please?"

She looked at the bartender and other staff members who were now looking at us.
Her: can we not do this here please?"
I handed her an envelope, she looked at it and frowned
Her: written warning Rose...?"
Me: I started this club with my own money, sweat and blood,  just because you had an input, an idea per se of this establishment does not make you my equal, I can easily replace you so let this be the last warning or the next is the door "

Her: Rose!"
I ignored her and spoke to Themba one of the bartenders
Me: Mpume called in and said she has family crises, in my books she is already fired ... I trust you can do her job?"
Themba: yes boss lady I won't disappoint"
Me: you better or else... " I pointed a finger at him and started walking away,

Her: Rose, is this how things are going to be between us? You humiliating me every chance you get "
She said following me
Me: it's not personal, it's just business "
Her: the very same business I helped you start"
Me: ooh and for that, you deserve special treatment?  "
Her: what have I ever done to you!? Yazi all I do is try and try but you... "

Her voice was a bit too loud making my hand ich so bad to smack her backstabbing ass
Me: why!!!! You keep trying and trying? Clearly, you don't like me and the feeling is mutual on my end,  what's makes you keep trying so badly?  "

She opened her mouth and closed it
Me: could it be, ts because you only in my life to watch my every move...who are you working for Ginger the feds? ...the Hawks? .. Special forces? ... Or is it Oyama?"
Her eyes ran around the room while I put her in a tight corner,
Me: don't you get tired of being a backstabbing bitch working for people that are only using you for their own personal gain, awusho what are you getting out of this?"
Her: I'm not working for no one, damn it Rose what do I have to do to make you trust me "
Me: how do i even start trusting a woman who fucked my husband behind my back while I was still in the picture!"

Her: Ros..."
Me: don't think about lying because I know everything "
She popped her eyes open, but I didn't not wait for her to make up a story, I just clicked my hills and walked to my office, I turned on the CCTV, looking at Ginger's every move,  she was agitated and kept pressing her phone looking behind her back as if she is not supposed to be seen doing this...

" come on Ginger give me something, "I said biting my nails, I was disturbed by my phone ringing
Me: hello"
Him: not even a thank you message for your gift?"
Me: uu uummm" it was Sandile
Him: you have not opened it?"

I pressed my phone on my shoulder unwrapping the gift with my hands, I smiled when I looked at the Black stilettos,

"Mmmm black hills?"
Him: I love my women tall "
Me: so where is the matching dress?"
Him: dress?"
Me: that goes with these matching shoes?"
Him: I want to make love to you tonight with nothing on but those hills..."
I bite my lip thinking about how good sex is with him
Me: Sandile we too old for this kind of talk "
Him: life begins at 50 my love, and me and you just started living"

I place my hand on my neck, looking outside the window of my club
Him: my house at 19:30?"
Me: I will be there at 20h00"
Him: don't keep me waiting Rose "
I laughed shaking my head
Him: I love you "
Me: Goodbye Sandile "

I dropped the call with a huge smile on my face, but my smile quickly turned into a frown when a tall, dark skin gentleman walked into the club,
A buzzer came through and I picked up the call
" who the fuck is that Themba?"
Him: King Ntsika Bhengu he says he wants to speak to you"

" King?"
While I was conflicted by who this 'king' is I saw Sam and the mystery guy shaking hands and sharing a joke, while Ginger sneaked out behind them,
" Fuck!!"
