Thandolwethu's pov:
I take off the weave that she had put on and put it on the floor. I rub her back as she coughs
"We could postpone the date,we could always do it some other time. Don't you want me to call a doctor?"
"Thandolwethu just shut up!" she snaps. Why is she shouting at me for? she starts to vomit again. I grab a glass of water. She rinses her mouth before gulping the water in one go "this is your fault" she starts crying "if you didn't make me eat seafood we wouldn't be here now"
"Maybe it's just a stomach bu-" she puts her hand in my face
"I don't want to hear it"
"Okay, ngyaxolisa ke" I say walking out of the bathroom. I sit on the bed and heave a big sigh. Siyamthanda is actually driving me crazy these days. Why does she always shout at me?and the waking me up just so I could buy her food?ahy ahy we've got to talk about this. She walks in and her eyes are puffy. She knows I don't like it when she cries. I stare at her as she looks at me like she wants to put a bullet in my head
"Where are my wings?" she asks and she's not even laughing. I thought this was a joke
"Hlala phansi(sit down)" I command. She walks away to the kitchen I guess. I was right because I hear the microwave going. I put on my sneakers and I pull on my jacket. She comes back with the wings ,sitting next to me "let's go"
"I thought you wanted us to talk?"she questions
"Siyamthanda you've got to get it together" I stand up and she starts eating her wings "you're always shouting at me these days,do we not respect each other now?"
"But baby I-" she tries to speak
"When I talk,you listen" she nods "Siyamthanda you can't always cry when I say something to you. That thing you've started that makes you want fast food at night must stop,today. Now please can we enjoy our night without drama?" she nods. I open my arms for a hug and she places her wings on the bed. She stands up and snuggles me like her teddy bear. I smack her ass cheek and she giggles "get dressed" she opens both her suitcases. I take my phone out and there are multiple missed calls from Ntokozo and some from Dladla,the officer we always bribe. I'm sure dad was trying to get to me. I look up and she's wearing a white long sleeve shirt dress with a Gucci belt around her waist and the two top buttons undone. She paired that with white push in heels. That's what they're called I think. She looks stunning
"We can't go out with you looking that sexy" I tell her and she laughs
"Thank you for the compliment,you look dashing yourself Mr Sangweni" she responds sarcastically. We take what we need and then we're on our way out. We arrive to at the venue. I park the car and we make our way into the restaurant. A waitress is waiting for us at the door
"Welcome to Club Marine Mr and Mrs Sangweni. Please follow me" the girl smiles. I look over at Siyamu as I put my hand in hers.
"Wipe that smirk off your face" she says making me burst out laughing. We follow the waitress. There are people in this restaurant and it is not a high-class restaurant. It's just normal. I know that she loves that. We walk over to a secluded table outside. The table is decorated with different types of flowers. I can't name them cause I'm not a fan but this is beautiful. The view includes the beach. I can see the beach from here and the moon shining over the water looks so cool. We take our seats and the waitress takes our orders. She ordered for herself this time
"I can't believe you planned this whole weekend alone" she sarcastically says squinting her eyes
"Can't you just thank me without dissing me?" I roll my eyes
"Let me call the twins and ask them which one of them actually helped you"
"Uyabhora. It was both of them" she laughs while shaking her head
"But thank you" she smiles and I mirror her smile "stand up so I could take pictures of you" she grabs my phone ontop of the table.
"No,you stand up" I argue. She rolls her eyes and stands up. She poses and I take pictures of her. She pulls me up and I hug her while she's taking a selfie. The waitress comes back with our drinks and I ask her to take pictures of the both of us and she actually does. We sit down and I decided to check my Instagram. Siyamu posted a picture of herself in that bikini earlier. The caption is '25 never looked better' I like that picture and go through the comments and a lot of celebrities are wishing her a happy birthday. 'SnothandoG - I wish you were still mine' is the comment that caught my eye though. Siyamu replied saying 'Snothando please,not today' and now people are reacting to those two comments. Suddenly they just dissapear,that means that she just deleted them now. This dude is getting on my nerves. First he gets people to follow us and now he's re-shooting his shot? I go through my baby's story and I see a video of her on my chest but my face is actually not showing. This thing of hiding our relationship is draining
"Cheers to 25 years of life" she says as we click glasses. The waiter comes back with our food. So I ordered medium rare steak and she ordered lamb shank with potato mash. We say grace and dig in,halfway through our meals we exchange plates. A habit we've gotten accustomed to. After eating,we enjoy some adult drinks with the conversation flowing smoothly.
"Let's go to the beach again, please" she begs
"Fine,finish your glass and then we can go" I say and she gulps down her glass of wine. I finish my beer and I go settle the bill. We walk to the beach and halfway there she stops. I look at her confused. She takes off her heels as we're about to walk in the sand and I take off my sneakers
"Please baby,I'm tired" she says opening her arms. Don't tell me that she actually wants me to carry her "sthandwa sami I'm full and I can't do this anymore"
"Haa haa Siyamthanda" I complain but actually carry her on my back as she carries our shoes in her hands while her bag is around my neck. She's actually a tad bit heavier than her normal heavy. We, actually, I walk us the rest of the way. She gets off me and runs towards the water. I follow her. She left our shoes far from the water. She kicks the water and it splashes on me. I gasp dramatically and run after her. Obviously I catch her because she has short legs. I pull her closer to me by her waist and she puts her tiny hands on my face. She smiles and I smile back. The water hits our feet and it is so cold
"I feel like we're in a movie or something like that" she says
"I knew it,I low-key knew you would say something that doesn't make sense" we laugh. I wouldn't trade this for the world.
