Life Is Just Not Kind - Final Book

Chapter 26

-BANDILE TSHAWE

"Mihlali what are you doing here?"

I ask stunned to see her. Qhawe bailed out on me last night

"I could ask you the same question," She says folding her arms "Where is Jay?"

I ask

"He slept at my mother's"

She says, I frown

"Why? What were you doing?"

I ask walking in further, she closes the door and turns to me

"I went drinking with my friend. I'm surprised Bayanda didn't tell you"

She says and walks away from me headed to the kitchen, I follow behind her

"Why would Bayanda tell me? Wait, you took Jay to your parents because you wanted to go drinking?"

I ask

"He's safe and that's all that matters"

She says

"I am his father. You could have asked me to babysit him"

I say and she rolls her eyes at me "Next time I'll think of that"

She says and trails off, I follow where she's looking and Qhawe walks in

"Morning Que"

I say with a smile

"Morning, I thought you would call"

She says

"I did but you weren't answering your phone"

I say

"You look terrible. Are you ok?" I ask

"Yeah I'm fine, I've just been puking since last night. I don't know what's wrong with me"

She says

"That's what usually happens when you pregnant or have food poisoning"

Mihlali says reminding us of her presence, I frown and so does Qhawe

"We can go and talk in my room"

She says giving Mihlali the stink eye

"Oh... ok"

I say and follow her to the room.

"Is everything ok?"

I ask as we make our way upstairs

"Your ex doesn't like me much"

She says and I chuckle because Mihlali is not one to start trouble, matter of fact she tries by all means to avoid trouble

"Nah, not Mihlali. She's not that person"

I defend

"You defending her. Wow"

She says, I sigh as we walk into her room

"I'm not Qhawe, I know you and I know her more and I know she doesn't start drama. That's not why I'm even here. Is it possible that you might be pregnant?"

I ask and she shrugs sitting on the bed, I sit beside her

"I don't know Bandile. There was that time were had sex without a condom"

She says

"Yeah but you got the morning after right?"

I ask and she shrugs

"I don't know. Look, your girlfriend could be wrong"

She spits

"And there's a possibility that she could be right"
