We finished watching the movie.  Went to grab a quick bite then we left. In the car no one spoke. Until Sthe broke the ice.
Sthe: babe lets go to my place tonight?
Me: oh why?
Sthe: because what i wanna do to you i dont want my mom to hear.  He smiled that mischievous smile of his.  I knew exactly what that meant but would i be really able to just make love as if nothing wrong. Sthe interrupted my thoughts.
Sthe: aw babe if you not cool with that's fine.  I just remembered Menzi words "act normal".
Me: no my love i would love to come to your place.  I forced a smile. We arrived at his place shortly it was a nice looking flat in a quiet neighbourhood. We drove in through security,  he signed me in then we made our way to the floor he lived in. He opened the door, inside it was a typical bachelor flat with you flat screen on the wall, couches, surround sound, etc.  It was neat i liked that.
Sthe: babe would you like some wine?
Me: yes hun. He got up to go pour me a glass. Yes wine is exactly what i need to loosen up.
Me: can i use your bathroom babe?
Sthe: sure its down the passage second door on you left.
Me: okay. I got up took my phone with me.  I wanted to call Menzi. I found the bathroom got in and quickly dialled his number, he picked up on the first ring.
Menzi: Ndoh wam are you okay
Me: yes im okay.  I whispered.
Menzi: why are you whispering though.
Me: im in the bathroom at Sthe's place.  He cleared hos throat.
Menzi: oh so you sleeping over?  He sounded hurt.
Me: you are the one who said act normal im following your orders.
Menzi: ngicela ungalali naye( please dont sleep with him). His voice was pleading with me.
Me: okay I'll make up something. I got to go.
Menzi: thank you and remember i love you and im waiting for you yezwa( you hear). I smiled dont ask me why but i just smiled at those words.
Me: okay then bye.  We hung up.  I flushed nje and went to wash my hands and went back to the sitting room. I found Sthe sitting on the couch going through some cds.
Sthe: im worried about you are you okay.
Me: eish babe my stomach is acting up.  It must be something i ate emini.
Sthe: do want us to go to that 24hr medical centre? 
Me: no no I'll be fine babe so what you doing?
Sthe: dont just stand there come sit next to daddy and help me choose.  I laughed at the daddy part.
Me: eww dont ever call yourself that. He laughed too.
Sthe: turn off??
Me: big turn off.
Sthe: ok sthandwa sam( my love)
I sat down beside him he poured wine for me and himself. We mostly talked about music skipping to songs i like before i knew it i was tipsy ntanga!  Not a good sign if you trying to get away from getting laid.  Wine just heightens your senses nje so a little touch will be sending great impulses all over your body. Anyway when we were done with all that chit chat he moved on closer he kissed my neck,  his breath so warm the kiss so gentle. He stopped for a moment as if to study me. He smiled but his smile was so sad.  He took me to the bedroom.

Narrated

Menzi was pacing up and down the living room thinking hard when Nelly walked in.
Nelly: aibo kwenzeka ntoni( whats happening). He stopped pacing but didn't answer her.
Nelly: bhuti are you okay?  You are all scaring me.
Menzi: sorry angel im just thinking about Ndoh that bastard is doing what i should be doing. I should be wining and dining her.  I should be kissing her making love to her,  her heart and smile belongs to me.  But because of that asshole Sphiwe i lost valuable time to make her love me too. He kicked the couch.
Nelly: calm down bhuti dont get so worked up at least now you have talked to her she knows the truth.
Menzi: i should have let her kiss me God knows how many nights I dreamed of kissing those lips.
Nelly: so why didn't you big bro you never been afraid of girls mos.  He laughed a little.
Menzi: i guess i felt like i would be taking advantage of her vulnerability. She's so fragile and lost right now Nelz i dont want to confuse her further.
Nelly: ncoo my brother the gentleman. He blushed.
Menzi: i never thought i was till i met her.  I just want to get her away from Sthe, did you locate that hypnotherapist like i asked.
Nelly: yeah i did even made an appointment for the day after tomorrow at 10am. I don't know how you gonna get your girl to go there.
Menzi: I'll think of something, thanks sis. Nelly got up to retire for bed.  Menzi just sat there thinking about Ndoh.

In the bedroom things were going down.  I dont know why but with Sthe i let down all my defenses i let him do whatever he wanted to me and i enjoyed it. He was right the noise we were making would have woken up his mother.  After he was done it was dawn every part of my body was trembling he couldnt even get off me and sleep on his side so i had to help him by rolling over. We were breathing heavily i was thirsty i asked him to get us water he went to get fridge water then came back poured for me and poured for himself.  After that he got back inside the covers it was too hot to cover ourselves he brought me close to sleep on his chest.  I lay there just lost in that moment how could this man want to kill me. I guess i must have dosed off.

Sthe

My phone rang it was ma oh gosh what does she want.  I didnt want to wake Ndoh she was sleeping so peacefully after the night we had i wanted to sleep to but i was tormented by thoughts of what i had to do to save my own skin. I answered.
Me: ma?
Mom: ya ukuphi( where are you(
Me:at my place why you calling at this time vele.?
Mom: can you talk?
Me: give me a sec. I slowly put Ndohs head on the pillow and got out of bed and tiptoed to the living room.
Me: im listening
Mom: i need you to kill your little girlfriend ASAP!!
Me: what?! Why now mom?!
Mom: i have a really bad feeling its either us or her and i prefer it was her if you are with her right now i dont want her to see the light of day!!  She hung up. How did i get into this mess i should have never let myself get so attached.  This was the hardest thing i had to do. I walked back to the bedroom.  There she was sleeping looking like she is not from this earth.  I loved watching her sleep it gave me peace.  I walked to my drawer opened it and took out a gun.  Checked it if it was loaded and then i pointed it at her. At least she would die in her sleep i wouldn't be able to do it if she was looking at me, crying..." im sorry my love it has to end this way"
