A moment in time

Chapter 20:Getting back what's mine!!!

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt cold hands removing strands of hair from my face.

"Morning"he greeted with his deep morning voice and I wished I could fucken get up and dance those venda or Tsonga dances wearing a xibelani yhuuuuu. I think I have found my heaven rhaaa shame I could do this for hours and hours and hourzzzz.

I looked at him gwaking with a stupid grin. I'm officially undebatably like I mean undeniably a gone girl like I'm gone.

"Morning"I managed to greet and he chortles sexily staring deep in my eyes. I felt like many insects were doing ballet dances in my stomach if that even makes sense.

"What's the time?"I ask coming back to reality. He takes his phone and unlocks it to check.

"Its 06:30"he reports.

"I need to get ready for work"

"Well we better go and shower then"he says standing up and helping me up.

We  showered together  *sticks tongue out*  and after we were done with our hygiene process I got dressed in a red tight fitting just below the knee lengthed pencil skirt with a crispy white long sleeved shirt and red high heels. I applied minimal make up and neatly tied my weave into a bun while he changed the bedding and I got done and helped him clean. He is a neat freak like I didnt even ask him but he found it necessary for him to make the bad and clean. I ain't complaining though.

We both headed downstairs and I offered him breakfast,he told  me to make him something that I eat in the mornings. As he waited proudly for breakfast in the lounge I  made a smoothie and poured it in two on-the-go bottles and handed him one. He looked at me as if he was waiting for me to tell him I'm joking and I left him to clean everything I was using in the kitchen unbotheredly.

"So we don't eat breakfast in this house?"he asks walking towards me,I giggled at his disappointed face

"Where do you think this body comes from?" I ask doing a twirl and he hooks his hands around my waist pulling me closer.

"Ndiyindoda mna Ntwenhle.  Funeke ndityile(I'm a man beautiful. I need to eat)"he says perking my lips.

"Askies ke ndoda yam(I'm sorry then my man)"

"Mmmm I like the sound of that. Can you say that again"he says biting his lower lip. I roll my eyes giggling.

~~~

"Advocate Ndilika"I look up and smile as I stood up to welcome Mr Libram himself.

"Mr Libram,Please do come in"he walked in and I closed the door behind him. Arnold Libram is a PI slash computer genius like I can't remember how many times I had to call him for help everytime I came to a dead end with my cases.

"How has life been I mean I've been seeing you all over the media lately"

I chuckle softly rolling my eyes. "Its been a lot honestly my life has been nothing short of hectic but I'm surviving"

"Well thats great to hear. I'm guessing this is not a social call"

"Well yes I need your special skills again. There is this little bug that just won't leave me alone"I admit.

"Tell me what to do ma'am I'm at your service"

I hand him a brown A4 envelop with every information I managed to gather about Zwelethu. "This is the annoying bug. I need you to dig and I mean dig every skeleton in the closet and find me something that is strong enough to bring him down to my mercy"

"I've seen him before"

"Can I trust you to do this one thing for me?"I ask straightening my face.

"Consider it done"

"Thank you and please bring me any information that you think I should know about. Anything"

"Yes ma'am. I still prefer my payment in hard cash by the way"he says standing up.

"And you will receive it in hard cash"I answer standing up to shake his hand.

"I will call you as soon as I find something"

"Would be very happy"

I walk him out and took a deep breath as I felt a sense of relief. I just want to deal with this and move on. I got back to my sit.

After sending a few emails I made my way to make myself some coffee since Andile took over Sinawo's job. She called in sick and the interns already have a lot on their plate so he was the available solution.

I found Zinhle with the two other junior lawyers in the canteen talking,they kept quiet clearing their throats as soon as I walked in. I greeted them with a smile as I passed them making my way to the coffee machine. I poured myself a cup of coffee and asked Zinhle to follow me to my office before walking out.

I got to my office and settled in my seat taking sips from  my coffee,a few minutes later Zinhle walked in smiling nervously.

"Next time knock and wait for me to invite you in" I sternly say with a straight face.

"Yes ma'am and I'm sorry for just barging in I didnt think you would mind"

"Well I do. Anyways how is your mother doing?"

"She is taking everyday as it comes" I look at her raising my eyebrow.

"Zinhle how is your mother holding up?"

She exhales fiddling with her hands. "To be honest things are not going well and its much worse now cause they removed her from the private hospital she was at cause we failed to pay on time and she doesnt have a medical aid but my family and I are working hard to try and put together the money so we can get the best medical Care for her"

"Listen just ask the private hospital she was at to take her back and they should email me the invoice as soon as possible so that she can get her treatment before its too late"she looked at me furrowing her eyebrows.

"You not kidding right?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding"I ask tilting my head.

"OH MY GOSH YOU CANT BE SERIOUS MA'AM. Milonke please don't play with me like this, like are you being for real"she asks standing up with teary eyes. I nod smiling weakly.

"Oh my gosh no this is not happening like oh gosh. Thank you so so much like can god bless you forever and ever. I promise I will pay back every cent. Thank you" she walks over to hug me and let's go in shock that she just hugged me. I'm just looking at her chuckling softly.

"You may go back to work now"

"Okey. Thank you so much may god bless you abundantly"she says reversing out. I nod.

"And Zintle, tell your little friends that its not lunch time yet and they don't want me to come out there and ruin their entire day"I add and she thins her eyes shaking her head.

"Oh gosh she's back"she says walking out and I giggle shaking my head 

Let me get back to work.
