Life Is Just Not Kind - Final Book

Epilogue

6 MONTHS LATER

-ISENATHI MTWA

I sit in front of the mirror applying a little bit of make-up for my meeting with a client, Chad sits up on the bed and watches me intently

"This particular client must be special"

He starts off and I frown looking at him through the mirror, he chuckles

"You never spend this much time on make up. By now you usually done"

He says and I sigh

"Honey I don't want to fight with you, not now please"

I say and he nods

"I wasn't looking to fight, I was just saying. Over the last 6 months you've changed, I don't know what it is. Did you meet someone that night you went out with your sister?"

he asks and I turn to him

"I don't know what you talking about Chad"

I say and he shakes his head no chuckling bitterly

"You can be honest with me or you can continue to lie through your teeth Isenathi, which is which?"

He asks walking over to me, I get up off the chair and turn to face him

"Chad there is nothing going on"

I say and he nods

"Fine, then you shouldn't have a problem unlocking your phone for me"

He says and I frown

"What? NO! Why?"

I ask and he laughs sarcastically

"You think I'm stupid don't you? We meet your ex at Legends and suddenly you in the mood for going out with your sister? Oh how can I forget, you dress different ever since that day and lets not forget how you suddenly changed your password. I am not stupid Isenathi. Be honest with me and save us both the misery"

He says

"How do you know that guy is my ex?"

I ask and he chuckles

"Of everything I just said right now, you worried about me knowing that the guy we met is your ex? Wow! You unbelievable"

He says turning away from me. Yes he's right, ever since that night Baya and I hooked up and we've been hooking up ever since. Don't judge me we all have that one ex that's like a drug you can't seem to get over. I hate that Bayanda makes me so weak, I hate that I am still in love with him and I what I hate even more is the fact that this conversation doesn't hurt me as much as it should, for some reason I have no regrets and I show no remorse. But then again I've always had a control of my emotions and apart from Hlali, Baya is the second person to get me in touch with my emotions

"Chad I'm sorry"

I say and he chuckles

"No you not! You not sorry, what are you sorry for?"

He asks and I shrug

"Honestly?"

I ask and he nods

"I'm sorry for stringing you along, it was wrong of me. I should have told you about Baya from the get go but I was avoiding this. He's that ex I told you about, the one I seemingly still can't seem to get over and I am sorry for hurting you the way I did"

I say and he runs his hands on his face

"Did you ever love me at all?"

He asks and I nod
