in her shoes

chapter 26

Moshimane Motaung

You know in my life I thought I would never feel for another what I felt for my wife and it's been a long time since I had to act like a teenager in love but this woman does things to me that I can't phantom she is in her beautiful orange summer dress and it's a little over her knees and that is making her look younger than she is,I'm taking her out to a braai with my friends and it's their first time meeting her and they know how I feel about her and they are happy for me but the problem is she has no idea I love her she just thinks we are going as parent and friends because we spend too much time together because Alutha chose that boy over us her parents but it's okay because this exotic woman her is everything she treats me like a king even my wife didn't treat me like this she gets me water to wash my hands before every meal or has hand wipe for when we are in public and she cooks all day meals just for me irons my clothes for me I'm the cleanest bachelor around so today I'm going to show her the side of me she might hate but that is the real me how I grew up in the street my street cred is something I have always had but I'm not running the streets because I'm old now although I don't look or feel young but I made a promise to my wife to stop running when I didn't need to anymore so we just have a junior crew that we check on from time to time because this life you can never leave as long as you are alive that's why I'm scared for my baby but according to my dad she is not to be messed with and that boy seems to know about this other life she leaves and I'm just glad that she did not disappoint me.you know this keep me on my feet the only girl and the youngest but first to get married and it just too much and I'm glad I got to enjoy her before she became this old because I would have been made if she didn't get to spend time with me but decided to start a family at her age but I guess girl are not slow like boys.

We're now in the car driving to Soweto and my lady here is classy lady and I'm curious to see how she will fit with the ladies because no hoes today but some guys from the crew are married and some have serious medies(woman)and I'm the only bachelor even when my wife was alive she always stayed behind when I attended these things. so I'm hoping she enjoys so that I have someone when I attend.

Me:you know at some point this quietness of your will make a person think you are not nice and I know you are nice.

Her:I just don't have anything to say and I'm so used to the kids leaving me alone so most times I'm by myself.

Me:well you don't have to be alone anymore we can be alone together and things are going to get even better since we leave in the same house now and I see your boys are enjoying their own space.

Yes the boys stay in my house because Alutha's husband kicked them out because they kept on upsetting her and because that boy is crazy in love literally he kicked them out and I don't know how the are coping because last head he almost got shot by her because she was tired of being carried around like she can't walk so he let her do more things by herself this hormones are turning my princess into a monster because she is like that with everyone.her and her brothers are still at odds because she is married to their enemy as they put it and I think is time I get them in the same room to harsh this out.

Her:I know they are having a time of their lives in you house but it's not nice that you had to move for them they could have come live with me because you also need your privacy for your visitors.

I know when she says visitors she is talking about Vicky she once found her parading in my house in my shirt only and never wanted an explanation and avoided the subject even today so I'm just waiting for her to ask but it seems like it will never come because she is shy naturally I have seen.

Me: please ask me you know we have been going around in circles around this pink elephant in the room so please ask and I will answer honestly.

She looks down at her hands and turns pink she gets like this when she is embarrassed she just blushes and I find it so funny.
