We all looked hella good, dare I say, we were dressed to the nines. I was dressed in a black bodycon dress which was obviously skin tight, with a pair of black pointy toe stiletto. Smith was wearing a charcoal colored, slim fit pants and a black shirt. I put on a bit of make up and finished the look off with a red lip and a black handbag. The other ladies were also in bodycon dresses in different colors, but Melos was also black. They had their heels on, full glam face beats, the guys were just like Smith in either slim fit pants or chinos, and they all looked good. I took the Polo and Smith took the Venue, I was with Melo in the front, then Luyanda and Kuhlekonke took the back. Smith was with Thato, Thabiso and Aviwe. We drove out after everyone was settled in the cars and we were on our way to Florida Road. When we got to Lupa we were escorted to a table where we all sat down and ordered our drinks whilst still deciding what to eat.
.
Long story short, that night ended with almost everyone drunk, but myself. As you guys know, I dont drink, well I do now but I have never been drunk so I was afraid of acting out of character hence I only had 2 glasses of wine with my food at the restaurant whereas everyone else went ahead and drank heavily when we got home. It has been a week or so since we went out and all is well, Smith and Thato still train everyday, Melo and I are spending more time together, and since there is a strike, Thabiso has been helping me with my 1st semester modules and honestly speaking, I am getting ahead. Matter of fact, the whole house now has a study group type of situation, where we all just study during the day and rest when Smith and Thato go to training, we then figure out what to eat for supper. We study further after dinner and sleep around midnight. We decided though that Friday until Sunday, we chill because we also need a break. So anyways, it is a Friday and Smith suggested that we have dinner at Toti tonight so I am busy packing a bag for the both of us, packing the essentials only though, toiletries and underwear because we already have clothes there. When I finished packing, we got dressed then went to the lounge. I could hear the others chatting it up in the living room. We walked in and Smith sat on the single seater and I sat on his lap.
Melody: We were thinking of going out for a movies and then buy pizza, wings and wine afterwards.
Me: Unfortunately we are going to Toti for dinner tonight.
Bradley: But we could come back after dinner, for a drinking spree.
Me: Really?
He nodded and then we continued chilling with our housemates. After about an hour, we took our stuff and made our way out to the car after saying our goodbyes to everyone.
Me: No Smith, we are not coming back tonight.
I said as soon as we got in the car.
Bradley: Why not my Starr?
Me: I dont want to sleep next to a drunk Bradley tonight. I am tired and I need to rest after all the studying weve been doing.
Bradley: But babe, we need the relaxing vibes.
Me: I will be relaxed enough with Stephanie and Blake, thank you very much
He looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but he held himself back.
Me: You can come back if you want, but I definitely will not.
He started the car and drove out without saying anything further. I took it upon myself to connect my phone to the stereo and play some chill music on my Spotify. We were well into the N2 when he finally broke his silence.
Bradley: You know I cannot go back to the commune without you right?
I shook my head.
Bradley: I cant, how will I even begin to have fun without you.
Me: You can, because I am definitely not going back.
I am sure you are thinking that I am being unfair, but honestly guys, I cannot sleep next to someone who had been drinking when I hadnt been drinking. I was sure to let him know that he can by all means go and have fun with everyone but he was not having it. We eventually arrived at my in laws home after going past the mall to get a few things, we parked out front then took everything into the house through the front door. We were met my Blake in the foyer area. She took some of the shopping bags and we made our way to the kitchen whilst Smith went to the bedroom to place our bag. Blake and I were unpacking when Andre walked in, he hugged me then asked to talk to me in private. We then left Blake in the kitchen and made our way to his home office. When we entered, he shut the door then offered me a seat.
Andre: Ledi, I need your help.
Me: With?
I was worried now, what could I possibly help Andre with.
Andre: I dont know what is going on with my wife, but I feel like I am slowly loosing her. She has been so distant lately and it seems to be getting worse by the day.
Me: O-kay?
How am I supposed to help him?
Me: I am confused
Andre: I need you to help me find out what is wrong, please talk to her.
Me: If anything is wrong, what makes you think she would tell me?
