U
Me: you did this?! I turned to face him. He looked at me almost as if snapping back to reality.
Sthe: wait what? No babe umm i meant i showed you because i didnt want you to be haunted by knowing he's out there coming for you. No bbe he was found like this in some hotel room maybe one of victims got fed up. I just hugged him i was so relieved he didnt do it, it was too cruel and if he were under threat i would understand its his job as a cop to protect himself but the picture i saw was someone who was executed. I held on for a while longer, he broke the hug to get me some water in the car. He came back and gave it to me, i rinsed my mouth after that we got back in the car.
Sthe: bbe if i had done that what would you have said?
Me: honestly Sthe i wouldn't blame you if you were defending yourself maybe he was trying to kill you but that picture to me looked like someone took some serious revenge against him. Im just glad it wasnt you. I held his hand. He kissed it.
Sthe: i dont want lose you I'll protect you from anything that threatens your joy uyezwa( you hear). I nodded smiling from ear to ear. We arrived at our destination it was a Piatto restaurant and grill. It didnt look formal at all it was just chilled out nje you know whites and their casuals. I was glad i wasn't underdressed or overdressed it was just the set up i was hoping for. A waiter approached us asked if we would like to sit inside or by the terrace. Since the weather was nice and warm we chose the terrace. She led us to a table then gave us out menu and said she'd be back. Listen ke ntanga i never been to a resturant mina so i just told myself i wouldn't make a fool of myself i would just ask for their salad instead ordering something i dont understand or having to eat a huge meal in front of Sthe.
Sthe: so what are you having?
Me: umm yazi bengidlile ( i ate) before i left. I lied. "so umm I'll just have a Caesar salads with soda water.
Sthe: are you on a diet or something?
Me: no why? Do you think i need it?
Sthe: dont be silly i like you the way you are besides im falling in love with you and your soul your body is a bonus if you will let me have it ofcourse". He winked. Oh wow ai i was swimming on air ke after he said that.
Me: oh okay, i said that trying to keep my cool.
Sthe: since you not on a diet can we eat some real food. Please?
Me:Sthe, i whispered moving in closer. " i dont want to order something i dont know and end up hating but force it down my throat as if i knew it when i ordered it. He just burst out laughing. Yoh ntanga now i was embarrassed.
Sthe: kodwa Ndoh you so cute you know that, you have that childlike innocence about you gosh you just make me fall for you deeper and deeper.
Me: i wasnt trying to make you fall for me i was just being honest. I looked away to the beautiful houses on a nearby mountain.
Sthe: ok bbe ill order for the both of us ne and ill order basic food hope will enjoy. I nodded. He signalled for the waiter she came and took the order and left.
Sthe: so have you been thinking about what i said to you earlier?
Me: yes i have.
Sthe:" please dont turn me down," he looked at me with begging eyes.
Me: i wont. Im not saying it will be easy since you know the torture i been through but like you said I'd like to give you a chance to love my pain away. His face just lit up like a boy who just got all the candy his hands could hold.
Sthe: thank you Ndo, for trusting me enough to let me in even in the midst of what you going through. I just smiled. Our order came it was lamb nton nton with a side of cream spinach and butternut. We ate while having a chat about stuff in general. It was now close to midnight. We had a lovely time, listening to Sthe's stories of growing up and me telling him about mine from the orphanage. It was time to leave. He settled the bill. We left. In the car he looked at me before he drove off he turned to look at me i could feel him staring so i turned to him too.
Me: whats up detective? Before i knew it his lips crashed into mine it was an intense yet gentle kiss i kissed back with same passion his hand running their course all over my body. He pulled back.
Me: is something wrong?
Sthe: umm no bbe everything is perfect but we'll save the rest for later for now let me take my lady home its been a long day. I agreed with thay then we drove home. When we got home we went straight to his room.
Me: hey mister why you following me i joked.
Sthe: just wanna tuck you in bed make sure there's no monster under the bed. He laughed. I smacked him playful.
Me: ungadlali kanjalo.
Sthe: sorry ke babe wam. He got in closed the door behind him. Before i could even put down my bag the guy was all over me. It didnt feel rushed or anything just unexpected he led me over to his bed and got on top of me continuing to plant kisses all over me. He reached underneath my dress and moved his hand way up and stopped at my waist i could feel he was searching for where to pull it down after a while he stopped.
Sthe: yoh baby kanti uqgoke ibodysuit yini( are you wearing a bodysuit) where do i pull this thing down. He sounded frustrated. I wanted to laugh out loud but i held myself i got up out of the bed and went to the bathroom. I took my tight off took off the dress and just walked in with only my underwear brand new might i had. He looked at me in surprise like he wasn't expecting me. He just stood up took me in his arms and lay on the bed. That night we made love i was so scared that i wouldnt be able to do it and my mind was racing all over the but my body gave in and pretty soon my mind lost the fight too. Dont judge i hadnt been held so gently and softly like that in my life. After we both climaxed i just passed out on his chest.
Narrated
Sthe's phone rang. He went to go answer it in the bathroom.
Sthe:"ma? "
His mom: "so have you worked you magic on her yet?"
Sthe: you know i dont discuss my relationships with you.
His mom: lalela wena( listen here you) if you know whats good for you, you will stick to the plan that is to only distract that little skank until this whole thing is over i dont need her snooping around or following up on her case i need you to give her a damn good distraction and when all is done dump her like the trash she is. Oh and Sthe?
Sthe: ma?
His mom: if you ever kill one of my men again you will regret it yezwa Sphiwe was loyal to me dont lose focus!
Sthe: ngyakuzwa ma. She hung up Sthe went back into the bedroom and just stood over watching Nomfundo sleep. "umuhle noma ulele sthandwa sam( you are beautiful even in your sleep my love) im sorry for everything thats going to happen from now onwards. He got in under the covers and held her tight.
