Narrated
Nomzamo was now four months pregnant and still hadn't told Menzi about the pregnancy and begged Nelly not to mention it. If Menzi was to come back to her then he wo
uld do so out of his own accord not because of a baby. Sihle hadnt given up pursuing Nomzamo and now that news came that Menzi has even moved in with his mistress he was more determined than ever to win her over. Mr Khumalo was also now aware of the break up although his daughter lied saying it was a mutual decision that they fell out of love which was a pure lie. She still loved Menzi and no matter how hard she tried to get him out of her system that baby growing inside her was a constant reminder of him. She was ready to tell the truth about being pregnant at least now he would stop pursuing her and he would understand the reasons she kept turning him down. It was a chilled Saturday morning Nomzamo was making herself some breakfast when her phone rang. It was a number she didnt recognise. She answered it.
Nomzamo: hello?
Caller: Nomzamo?
Nomzamo: yebo who is this?
Caller: sthandwa sam. She instantly recognised the callers voice it was Menzi.
Nomzamo: Menzi is that you? Whats wrong you dont sound good.
Menzi: ngyakthanda Zamo i...
The phone went silent. Nomzamo tried to call it back instead his girlfriend answered.
Woman : lalela la stop calling my man he doesn't need you anymore.
Nomzamo: :HE called me for your information and can you tell him to tell me that himself." she heard her say "take tell her ahlukane nawe"( to leave you alone)
Menzi: Nomzamo leave me alone! He hung up. Nomzamo was puzzled hes that one who called her or was it just a make fun of Nomzamo day. She was confused but then brushed it off as her doorbell rang she went to go answer. It was Sihle standing there smiling.
Nomzamo
Sihle? What are you doing here?
Sihle: well, i was at my place you and i was hungry and then i thought hey i have a friend whose such a great cook why not ask her to make me a big English breakfast. Yazi i laughed Sihle is crazy shame.
Me: manje whats in the plastics?
Sihle: ingredients of course. He smiled every time he smiled i would think of Rose those dimples of his gave me life.
Me: okay come in Mr Madlala. I led him to the kitchen.
Me: so tell me what's in it for me?
Sihle: i also brought some massage oils which i will massage your feet looks like you need it sweetheart.
Me: why do you say that? I looked at them they looked a bit swollen.
Sihle: Nomzamo im a man but im not stupid ive noticed how you eat like crazy or try to hide your nausea each time we eat at the coffee shop and how you are wearing loose fitting clothing and how you are always sleeping or feeling tired , we could be watching a romantic comedy and you will laugh one minute and cry your eyes out the next and i get all that what i dont get is why you trying so hard to hide that you are pregnant. I stopped what i was doing right then and there my secret was out. I turned to look at him.
Me: i wasn't aware it was obvious how did you figure it out im barely showing.
Sihle: Nomzamo one thing about me is when im in love with someone i pay close attention to them and their traits and i know about pregnancy because my ex was pregnant. He looked sad.
Me: what happened? I came closer to him i could tell he was hurting.
Sihle: she gave birth to a stillborn.
Me: im so sorry Sihle. I put my arm around him.
Sihle: i wanted a baby so badly Nomzamo and i tried by all means to be supportive and do all can to ensure my baby was okay but Zinzi never listened she continued partying and drinking didnt bother going to check up i sometimes had to force her to go. Thats why when i found out mt baby was dead i blamed her it hurt me so badly.
I reached and gave him a hug ai ke for the first time umtana ka Menzi kicked, i think Sihle felt it too he moved back and looked at me in amazement. I shared the same excitement.
Me:.did you feel that? He smiled.
Sihle: yes i did.
Me: wow it was the first time. I put my hand on my belly and gently brushed it. " can i? " i heard Sihle say. He was asking if he too could put his hand on my tummy. I allowed him. My baby started to move again i swear we were both giggling and excited about those tiny movements. He removed his hand and looked at me his face went serious.
Sihle: Nomzamo im so inlove with you and Menzi is a fool for turning his back on you especially now when you need him more than ever. Please allow me in Nomzamo please just let me love you and this baby. I have grieved enough over mt baby and im ready to love again please let me in. He looked sincere and sounded sincere.
Me: i dont know Sihle really i mean i still love Menzi i wont lie.
Sihle: do you see him coming back to you? He asked a good question and honestly i didnt see him coming back to me that new floozy had marked her territory on him.
Me: i dont know...
Sihle: then give me a chance please Nomzamo. He looked at me with those begging eyes. I wont lie i had grown attached to Sihle over these few months i enjoyed our chats i enjoyed how he made me forget my troubles his presence was so comforting i dont know if i was inlove or just enjoyed the idea of having him around me and calling him mine.
Me: i guess we can try i have nothing to lose Menzi has made it clear he doesnt want me. He cupped my face and looked deep in my eyes.
Sihle: i will always want you. He came close enough to kiss me but he didn't i had even closed my eyes yezwa waiting he just gave ma a peck on the lips. I opened my eyes he was smiling. Yazi Sihle uyangjwayela. He moved away.
Sihle: now that you are my woman I'll be making breakfast i dont want my girls slaving away.
Me: hehehe your girls?
Sihle: i know you carrying a baby girl call it intuition. I laughed yazi i thought intuition was a woman thing Sihle unezimanga shame.
Me: can you cook?
Sihle: yeah i can i just needed a excuse to come see that beautiful face. He went ahead and made breakfast for us while i went to go sit in the lounge this i wanted to see. After a while he came in with a tray with our plates and two glasses of juice. It looked appetising as aoon as he handed me my plate i dug in. It felt good to be pampered. After we finished eating i went to the go wash our plates. My dad wasnt going to be around that weekend he was attending a seminar. I went to go bath after and spent the rest of the day cuddling with Sihle and watching movies, he was a perfect gentleman all we did was have a kiss here and there and even though i would want more he would just tell me im not ready. I dont know how he knew that. After watching movies i was feeling sleepy.
Me:Sihle i wana take a nap a little.
Sihle: do you have a cd player in your room?
Me: yes why?
Sihle: ill join you I'll just listen to my favourite cd. Let me go get it. He stood up and went out i guess to his car. He came back with a cd i didnt pay attention of the artist.
Sihe: okay let's go. I led the way. We got to my room i went into bed he went to put his cd in the cd player.
Sihle: babe?
Me: hmm?
Sihle: please listen to this song i decicate it to you.
Me: ncoo ok I'll listen to it, thank you. He came over and got in the bed and cuddled me from behnd while the song played. I listened.
Tell me what you really like
Baby I can take my time
We don't ever have to fight
Just take it step-by-step
I can see it in your eyes
'Cause they never tell me lies
I can feel that body shake
And the heat between your legs
You've been scared of love and what it did to you
You don't have to run, I know what you've been through
Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We don't have to rush when you're alone with me
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
You are not the single type
So baby, this the perfect time
I'm just trying to get you high
And faded off this touch
You don't need a lonely night
So baby, I can make it right
You just got to let me try
To give you what you want
You've been scared of love and what it did to you
You don't have to run, I know what you've been through
Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We don't have to rush when you're alone with me
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe
I feel it coming, I feel it coming, babe...
That song spoke to me in more ways than one it made me realise what type of a man Sihle is. This man loved with every fibre in his body and the song he just said were a reflection of what he really wanted to say to me but couldn't.
Me: thank you babe. He kissed my and this time i didn't want him to stop. He put his hand on my breast and squeezed me gently and kissed my neck. Its been a while since i felt these sensations and i must say it was feeling good. We kissed and fondled each other things were getting hot and heavy i was down to my bra and panties and he was only down to his pants. He suddenly stopped.
Me: no babe please dont stop.
Sihle: i think i should stop.
Me: Sihle make love to me please.
