( short chapter)
I must say when he walked away like that i felt little pins and needles in my heart, it was as if he was walking away with his love for me. Suddenly the food didnt taste good anymore mara why did i have to act like an ungrateful brat to him. All hes ever done for me was make sure im taken care of and safe but here i was biting the hand that feeds me, so what if he wanted to explain, i should have let explain. I couldn't forget the sadness in his eyes when i said i dont get involved with thugs. Me and my big mouth. I just put the plate away. I just wished i could get up and follow him and apologise. I really didnt mean to be nasty to him i was just caught of gaurd by what i had overheard i dont know what came over me. As i was in my own head about the whole thing he walked in.
Menzi: i brought your pills if you done eating. He said it without looking at me.
Me: oh okay thanks im done eating.
He came over to take the plate by the bedside handed me some water and the pills, once i was done with them he took the glass from me and went out without saying a word again. This was not the Menzi i knew, what have i done to the poor man?
Menzi
You know that feeling when you have to beg yourself not to cry or get upset. Thats exactly what i was doing i was begging myself not to get cut up over what Ndoh said but i was just couldn't. It hurt, if it was someone else i wouldn't have cared but it came from the woman i love. I guess Ndoh will never see me anything more than a low life thug. This was the reason i never loved any woman and only had flings ots because loving a woman makes you so weak and vulnerable. I mean bhuka ( look) im sitting here on the floor verge of crying just because my feelings were hurt like im some little girl." damn Menzi qina man uyindoda( be strong your a man), I told myself. It wasnt working though i cant explain the hold Ndoh has over me she hurt my feelings but it didn't change a thing about how i feel for her. Yesterday after i bed bathed her i couldnt get her out of my mind not only am i inlove with her but i just fell inlove with her body, her breasts her stomach, her hips, her thighs amd even her stretchmarks, i smiled to myself. Ai i neec to get a grip angsona isyoyoyo( in not a weakling). I decided to call Nelz i needed some cheering up. I dialled her number it rang a few times until she picked up.
Me: finally the lady decides to pick up. She laughed.
Nelly: Molo bhut wam( hi my bro) i miss you too. She giggled.
Menzi: i miss you too, are you busy?
Nelly: for you? Im never too busy.
Menzi: thanks my Nelz, i just needed to talk to yoy im feeling a bit down.
Nelly: yintoni bhuti ndimamele( whats wrong bro im listening ). I proceeded to tell her the events that took place in the morning and everything she said word for word. Nelly just listened and after a while she spoke.
Nelly: you know bhuti mna ndicinga ukba( i think that) Ndoh has feelings for you.
Menzi: are you high sis wam but i just told you what she said nje?
Nelly: yes i heard you but to me it didnt sound like she said those things to be nasty, based on what you told me i think usisi ubeneskhwele( she felt jealous ) and didnt even realise it.
Menzi: oh? So you think she was jealous that i had a fling? But it was way before i kidnapped her or even got shot that's why i wanted to explain.
Nelly: the mind of a woman is hard to understand i think her heart is starting to claim you thats why she reacted like that but we need to be sure so as always your little sister has a plan.
Menzi: thats sounds mischievous. Ngyamazi phela uNelly nama qhinga( i know Nelly and her schemes).
Nelly: dont worry this plan will ensure we get proof that she really jealous and obviously if shes jealous then she had feelings for you, heres what we'll do... She went over the plan i couldn't help but laugh usile yezwa uNelly( Nelly is so naughty).
Menzi: this better work otherwise ngeke ube noskwiza ( you wont have a sister in law). We both laughed and hung up. Yes i was going to go through with this little prank i just had to know whether Ndoh loved me.
Nomfundo
I sat there on the bed hoping he would come in again definitely this time i wont let him walk out with out apologising to him. I just sat there almost dosing off the pills were starting to make me feel sleepy. I was just about to give up from waiting for him to walk in, when he came walking in, my heart smiled but my face didn't show it.
Menzi: Ndoh do you need anything im going out for a little while?
Me: erm no i dont need anything i just wanted to... Hes phone rang, he looked at it and answered and sat down at the dressing table.This is what he said.
Menzi: Menzi hello? Thuli? Thuli from where? Oooh wow Thuli ngakugcina kudala ( its been a long time) are you well? Good, so hows life are you now married kids you know, oh you not married and no kids wow just like me. Oh no im not seeing someone tli mean there was someone i was hoping we could have something turns out i was fooling myself". I felt bad when he was saying that, i mean how could he talk with Thuli thing calling him in front of me mcm, i continued to listen.
" Yeah im free if you are also free, wow a beautiful woman lie you single? Hai uyangikhohlisa,( no you lying to me). Okay i guess nothing is stopping us gosh i cant wait to see you im a bit tied up i will see you soon damn Thuli i guess i never stopped loving you too..."
As soon as he said that i felt those pins and needles in my heart again and this time there was even a lump on my throat i tried hard to swallow. How could he say that wasnt he the one who was declaring his undying love to me all this time? I mean i know i was nasty but is that grounds to flirt shamelessly in front of me. I guess he wasnt meant for me i guess he realised im not good enough for him. I mean who knows what this Thuli woman looks like, Menzi might be a thug but he was good looking wealthy and loving you would think he was some sort of business man. Oh well i guess it was a nice dream he sold to me vele guys like him never go for girls like me. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes i tried so hard to hold them back ntanga but yoh these tears have no timing i just started crying.
"Thuli bamba kancane i have someone im nursing here so shes crying just hold for a minute" ai ngakhala worse( i cried even more). He came over and sat on the bed his hand brushing my arm.
Menzi: Ndoh ukhalelan( why you crying) are you in pain. I nodded. He started to look worried now.
Menzi: where? Where are you feeling pain? I put my hand over my heart.
Me: the pain is here Menzi i dont know why but the pain is right here. How can you claim to love me one minute then the next tell some Thuli you never stopped loving her too. Its not fair!! You were mine first!! Yoh it was too late to take that last part back.
Menzi: Ndoh what did you just say? Are you jealous Ndoh?
Me: I dont know all i know is you said you love me and everything about me, all of a sudden im just someone you are nursing. I mean i know i was nasty to you earlier but i was going to apologise the moment you got in i didnt need you hooking up in front of me. I looked away. He touched my face forcing me to look at him.
Menzi: sthandwa sam( my love)Are you inlove with me? When he asked me that i didnt even hesitate to answer.
Me: yes um yes i think im in love with you Menzi. His face just lit up his eyes started glistening he gave me the biggest smile and just brought me close for a hug, it was tight then he broke it and looked at me.
Menzi: you dont know how happy hearing you say that has made me.
Me: yeah but you have your Thuli now so it shouldn't matter. He started to laugh and remembered she was still on hold.
Menzi: oh Thuli uzwile, oh okay ithi ngimnike ifone(let me give her the phone). " hai ufuna ukungthukisa manje( no you want me to be insulted)" ,i protested. He just put the phone on my hand by force. Tjo ngizothin vele ai uMenzi mara( what was i going to say Menzi though)
Me:h-hello? Thuli started ululating ai ke i was confused.
Thuli: finally you admit your feelings for my brother he nearly died of heart break, she laughed.
Me: Who is this i checked the caller id , it was written Nelz. Now i was lost completely. Thuli spoke.
Thuli: hellooo? Are you still there its me Nelly/ Thuli this was all a prank to get you to admit your true feelings for my brother and it worked, she continued to laugh pleased with herself.
Me: oh my gosh Nelly how could you conspire with your brother like this i slapped his arm playfully while he smiled," you had me here crying like a baby meanwhile it was a joke" i covered my face with my one free hand.
Nelly: ncooo sorry sisi but all is good that ends well right? I smiled she was right and the pins and needles were no longer in my heart instead it was smiling again.
Me: ya you guys got me, usile wena( you so naughty ) and its the second time. We both laughed. We talked some more until i gave the phone to Menzi. He talked for a while thanked her then hung up. He looked at me lovingly and smiled. " Ngyakthanda Ndoh wam( I love you my Ndoh)"
Me: Nam ngyakthanda Menzi wam( i love you too my Menzi)
Menzi: even if im a thug?
Me: well you are my thug now. I pulled him closer so he could kiss me. His lips smashed into mine. We had just shared an intimate moment it was only natural to close it of with a kiss right.
