With Pain Come Love 2

Melo 8

I see why Yaya is the way she is. Having spent those few minutes with her mother, I see the resemblance... she really is her mother's daughter. I mean that in a good way, her mother is intimidating thou. I must say, yes Aunt Jen knows the guy on a personal level but nowadays can you really say you know a person? I love Yaya and I am terrified of losing her. I would go to the ends of the world for that lady. She means the world to me and i mean it when I say that I plan on marrying her some say. I'd propose now but Yaya is not the type to settle without anything of her own, she and mom are birds of the same feather. They are so invested in independence it's annoying but it is charming. It's attractive that she wants to make something out of herself. On the other hand I'm glad that mom and I are back on speaking terms and I plan on keeping things that way, we were once besties and I want us to go back to that. Mom came back and sat next to me putting my feet on her lap with a pillow on top of her of cause.
Her: Babes is such an amazing woman. I see where Yaya gets it from
Me: yeah she's pretty cool. First time I met her she told me straight up that me and her daughter were going to date
I said laughing as I remembered that day, how Yaya and I went off at each other, how we denied our feelings for each other... my baby and I have come a long way and we going far together.
Her: with the way you two went off at each other, it was bound to happen. You two reminded me of your father and I
She said laughing. Mom and dad weren't the best of friends when they first met. Mom hated dad, but then again dad was an ass to mom. According to them dad tried to flaunt his money at mom... well so mom says but according to dad he was just being nice for breaking her phone. Mom fell for dad this one night she had a breakdown when she had just came back from JHB and dad was there without any ulterior motives and the rest is history.
Me: who knew that you two would be married now with 3 young adults
Her: yep, our amazing creations. You and Yaya are going far. Keep that girl, she'll take you places. Places even you will never be able to go alone
Me: yes mummy I hear you
Just then dad walked in with his arm wrapped around my twins neck and her all smiles... I wonder what story she is telling this time.
Dad: Hello honey, son
He said coming towards us and Ase taking her seat while dad and mom shared a kiss, these two are something else. They live in the same house, sleep on the same bed, wake up next to each other everyday but everytime they see each other it's as if they've been away from each other for a very long time. It's cute really. Ase and I cleared our throats as they seemed to be forgetting that we were in the room and my feet were on top of mom. They broke the kiss and shared a laugh.
Mom: how are you? How was your day?
Dad: it was ok. Another day in court... the usual. How was your day?
Mom: it was great honey. Yandiswa's mom is in town. She and her daughter are going to JHB today for the exhibition
Dad sat next to Ase
Dad: that's nice. Don't you wish you could go now?
Mom: if I didn't know better Bess i'd say you were trying to get rid of me
Dad: hahaha of cause I am, I wanna spend some time with my Cape Town side chick for a change... you know, fresh pussy
Mom pulled out a pillow from behind her and threw it at dad who was laughing at her. Mom was mad and cute at the same time.
Mom: fine then. Go on alone
Dad: you know I'm only joking right. This heart right here*he said patting his chest where the heart is located* beats only for you. No woman formed against me has prospered and they won't start now ok.
Mom clicked her tongue
Mom: i'm still not going with you anymore
Ase: get a room guys
We all laughed
Mom: shut up!
Dad: I love you Mrs Bess
Mom: screw you
Dad: there's kids around. Later maybe
My twin and I were in stitches, mom couldn't help but laugh too. This was the kind of marriage I wanted. This level of comfortability. They did everything effortlessly. They were perfect, well of cause they've had a few speed bumps along the way but they were here now and they were happy.
Dad: glad to see you two talked things out
Mom: we were bound to, how do I stay mad at the young version of you. Our sin is a replica of you when I first met you
Me: eeuw mom!
Mom: what?
Dad: yeah what?
Me: I don't need to know the things you two got up to when dad looked like this
I said pointing at my sexy handsome self.
Mom: I only said you're a replica baby. Your father was flames and he still is. Girls threw themselves at him, it was annoying really... i've had girls throw themselves at him but one of them just wouldn't stop. She went as far as kidnapping Yana all because your father wouldn't entertain her
Dad: funny enough, your mother and her ended up working together to bring down your mother's obsessive psychotic crusher
Me: seems like you guys went through a lot of adventures
Mom: is that what you call it? Adventures? No baby that was hell!
Me: but the end results are amazing. You happy. It was an adventure, a roller coaster ride
Dad: when you put it that way son...
We continued chatting for a little while until dad got up to change and mom followed right after. Ase and I exchanged glances because we knew exactly what was going to go down. Our parents are too sexually active for their ages shame. You'd think in your forties they'd be tired of it but nah, not my parents. They came back for dinner which was at 8pm. We had a nice family meal and after that we went to our rooms.
The next day Aunt Jen came to our crib and later on we flew to JHB where we were booked in a hotel based in Sandton. I called Bae to tell her I was here and she told me that she was preparing for her dinner with this Taylor Meier guy. I called mom to inform her we were here safely and she told me that they got to Cape Town safely too, we had a mini conversation before ending the call. A while later Jen and Ase came into my room asking me to join them as they go club hopping in JHB plus aunt Sage and her husband were here and some of our cousins and friends were here too so why not, at first I wasn't up for it but after some convincing I finally gave in, not to the club hopping thou but to chilling indoors and drinking with friends, my leg doesn't allow me to be club hopping. It was going to be me, Asakhe, Asange, Alungile and Lucas... Lucas and partying, the two are like a house on fire. I asked the girls to drop me off at Asange and Asakhe's place somewhere around Sandton, they lived in the same building just different flats... like my twin and I. We were chilling in Asakhe's flat drinking and them smoking weed, well Alu, Ange and Luc. Akhe and I weren't really fans, well I hate weed. I feel like it makes people slow and dumb and I hate that both my girlfriend and twin love it. My mission is to get them to quit.
Luc: so you and that Yaya chick still pushing?
I nodded. Luc and I used to lead the same lifestyle but I was far worse than him, there was literally no saving me from the life I used to lead until Yaya came along and Luc is having trouble accepting that I'm a changed man now.
Asakhe: I for one am proud of you. She seems like the perfect chick
Ange: you won a jackpot with that one, Aunty loves her and so does uncle and the rest of your fam mahn
Luc: but she's leaving soon which means i'll have my cousin back
He said tryna toast but I didn't raise my beer to him. The thought of Yaya leaving really puts me off. I don't want her to leave but I also don't want to seem selfish too and there's no way to convince her without seeming like a selfish ass.
Alu: what's lucas talking about?
Me: next month she's going to study overseas
Twins: what???
Akhe: why?
Me: tomorrow her pictures will be featured in the exhibition, she's already got the scholarship all she needs is for her pictures to sell and then she's gone
Ange: but she's going to come back next year right?
Me: it's a 3 year thing
Alu: why dont you ask your dad for a letter of recommendation to go study in the same city
Why didn't I think of that? It was a great idea. Perfect even. All I need to do is finish my articles here or finish them over that side.
Me: dude that's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?
Alu: because you dumb Af*
Me: screw you!
Alu: not your girl bro!. Talk to your parents first
Luc: especially Aunty Ama ey. She's the most difficult
Me: you know her all too well
Luc: so what happened to that psycho chick you once slept with
Me: I slept with a lot of psychos. Which one?
Luc: the DUT chick, your girlfriends friend
Me: ey bruh, she's been quiet. That's a good sign I guess
Ange: she trouble?
Me: I had sex with her mad at Yandiswa... well I was pissed and she was available so I did it with her and then told her to leave, she took naked pictures in my room and sent them to Kate
Akhe: no f*cking way! So that's why you and Kate broke up.
Alu: did you try to make up with Kate, apologise and stuff?
Me: she wouldn't hear me out, she was both mad and hurt.
Luc: and so he finally followed his heart and went for Yaya instead
Alu: so Yaya was a rebound?!
He said nodding.
Me: no! Yaya and I were complicated ok. I fell for Yaya long before Lathitha or Kate but she was too stuck up for me. At first it was lust but because of my family I was forced to actually spend time with her and I got to know her better
Luc: and the rest is history. We get it, you whipped
Alu: better than screwing anything with a pussy
Luc: as if you any better. You have a girlfriend but you screwing your boss... I'm not stringing anyone along
Me & the twins: what?
Alu seems like the perfect gentleman in the whole of our squad.
Alu: that woman refuses to end things. I've tried to stop it ok
Me: where does this leave Emihle?
Alu: ey dude please don't. it's bad enough as it is ok
Ange: but you have to end this thing with your boss before it ends badly for you cuz
Luc: if only it were that easy. If it gets you a raise and your get to spoil Bae with the money, I see no reason to stop it
Akhe: what if it came out? Then what?
Luc: then it's out. He gets another job elsewhere. Maybe join us in DBN
Alu: no. I'll handle it like i've been handling it these past few months
Me: how long has this been happening kanti?
Alu: 6 months
Ange: dude that's how long you've been working there. Is that how you even got the job?
Alu nodded
Me: you are playing with fire.
Luc: he's just having fun. Let the guy be. He's been careful for this long hasn't he? Chill
He said slipping on his beer. Luc is all for playing with fire until he gets burnt. Trust me there's no saving this one, but he plays it safe shame. I got out to fetch something with Asange in his place with was in the top floor, we got inside the lift and were met by my high school ex girlfriend. This weekend was going to be longer than expected.
