Vuyani: "So what you're telling me is that...you have this gift that basically gives you something like a third eye about things and people. So that's why you were sure about me when we first met...and that's why it felt as though you were from another universe with how different you were." He nodded to himself as he processed and reasoned everything out. "So this gift gives you visions about things that are going to happen?"
Me: "I only get visions for big happenings. For most of the times I just get feels."
Vuyani: "Oookaaay. Uhm...so what you're telling me is that you got a vision about the bombing happening and I got really hurt in the process...so...you prevented that from happening and you got sick because of it. Is that what you're telling me?" Oh god. "Isi? Is that what you're telling me? That you got sick because you saved me from a bombing?"
Me: "Yes but baby-."
Vuyani: "What the fuck?" He stood up putting his hands on his head. "What the fuck Isi? If you're playing me please tell me now because I don't find it funny little beamer."
Me: "Vuyani listen to me-."
Vuyani: "Tell me you are joking Isi please."
Me: "I can't do that honey. This gift has a price. If I save someone I will have to pay the price by getting sick-."
Vuyani: "So I made you sick? I made you suffer as you did-."
Me: "Honey." I tried to reach for him but he backed away.
Vuyani: "For me you got sick Isi?"
Me: "What do you mean for you like I shouldn't have? Of course I chose to get sick to save you Vuyani. And I would make the same choice again and again and again if I was given the chance. Always." He shook his head as the guilt and anguish covered his whole face. "What did you want me to do? Let you get hurt?"
Vuyani: "Yes!" He shouted. "I would've preferred you do that than you getting sick and almost dying because of me."
Me: "Vuyani that's crazy. How can you expect me to let you get hurt when I can save you-."
Vuyani: "You. Don't. Get. Hurt. For. Me. Or anyone else for that matter! You get me?!" Oh god. "What if you could've died?"
Me: "That was never going to happen-."
Vuyani: "But what if?!"
Me: "Then I would've died gladly!" I shouted. "Don't you get it? You're my destiny. I would lay down my life for you in an instant as I know you would do the same for me!"
Vuyani: "The way you trembled...god, the way you whimpered and wheezed at that hospital...you couldn't even talk or move and it was all because of me-."
Me: "Baby stop this please!" I said hugging him tightly as he tried to pull away from me. "It's over. I'm fine now. Nothing happened. We're both safe and sound. So please, stop this." I pleaded holding on to him. He said nothing as his body trembled and as he breathed out in short breaths. "I'm fine. You're fine. We're fine."
Vuyani: "Little beamer-."
Me: "Shhh. Come." I pulled him with me and forced him to sit down, then I climbed on his lap. His face was a mess. "Okay so I understand why you would feel the way you're feeling right now but you've also got to understand why I chose you, right?"
Vuyani: "I understand little beamer...trust me I do but here..." He said pounding his chest... "is the problem." God. "It hurts...it aches...it pains...I feel so heavy that I don't know what to do with myself." I held his face with both hands.
Me: "Then do what you gotta do and release everything that you're feeling out." He shook his head.
Vuyani: "It's not as easy as that Isi."
Me: "It is. Just release it and don't keep it inside and let it fester. Shout, yell and cry if you have to. Do whatever and then in time your heart will ease up." He stared at me for a long time as his chest moved up and down and his face twisted up in pain, and then his eyes filled with tears. After the first tear fell, the others followed. And then his body was shaking silently. I watched as my one sobbed and it was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever witnessed in my life. He sobbed and sobbed silently so, until he couldn't anymore. He laid back his head on the couch and covered his eyes with his arm as he sniffed. "Do you feel better?"
Vuyani: "No. But it feels less heavy...here." He touched his chest.
Me: "You're still mad at me?"
Vuyani: "Yes."
Me: "Then yell at me." He removed his arm from his eyes. They were bloodshot.
Vuyani: "I'm not going to do that."
Me: "Why?"
Vuyani: "Didn't I tell you? You're the most precious and priceless gift to me."
Me: "Well..." I bit my lip trying to stop myself from crying... "that's good...I-I guess." I closed my eyes as I fought a losing battle. He wrapped his arms around me.
Vuyani: "I'm still mad but I'll hold you only because I'm nice." I snorted as I cried. "Thank you for saving my life Isi." He said softly after a while. "Even though what you did will always weigh heavily on me and give me nightmares, I appreciate it so much baby. More than you can imagine." My one. "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier on...I was just-." I cut him off with a kiss.
Me: "You love me?"
Vuyani: "Is that even a question?"
Me: "Let's have sex." He blinked and then he laughed in disbelief.
Vuyani: "Just like that?"
Me: "Yes. I missed you being inside of me." His eyes flashed. "So let's have sex." His body shook with laughter. "I'm being serious-." He kissed me and I soon found myself on my back.
Vuyani: "We don't have sex Lady. We do a whole lot of fucking and we make love." He growled against my lips.
Me: "Then fuck me."
Vuyani: "Your wish is my command." He went about fucking me. And it was phenomenal.
Me: "Stop it." I giggled. "Vuyani." I giggled more. He was blowing raspberries on my butt cheeks.
Vuyani: "You have the finest ass little beamer." He told me. "I always want to take a bite on it..." He said demonstrating just that.
Me: "Ouch! You animal."
Vuyani: "I always want to spank the hell out it." He said giving it a spank. "And I always want to grab it and squeeze it." He grabbed and squeezed it. "And l always want to bury my face on it."
Me: "Ewww!" I laughed. "You're nasty."
Vuyani: "You love it." I do. He trailed soft kisses on my back and I shivered smiling. He grabbed my boob and squeezed and played with my nipple. I loved how he was loving me with his physical touches. Which also showed his possessive and dominant side.
Me: "My gift is going away soon." He paused. Then...
Vuyani: "I'm so sorry baby." He meant it.
Me: "Thank you for saying that." He gave me a squeeze. "I don't know how I'm going to be like when it's completely gone."
Vuyani: "You'll still be you."
Me: "I doubt it. Half of the reason I'm the way I am is because of it." I told him. "What if I lose my charm that comes with it?" He chuckled. "Don't laugh Vuyani. I'm serious. I might lose my charm and because of that, you might love me less." He chuckled some more. "Why're you laughing?"
Vuyani: "Because you're being ridiculous."
Me: "Am not."
Vuyani: "Are too."
Me: "When you wake up one day and love me less don't say I didn't tell you because I'll clearly remind you. You'll be like ohh where's your charm? You're so charmless. I don't love you like I used to. Bring back your charm."
Vuyani: "Oh wow, I guess you were right. I love you a little less now."
Me: "Don't tease me."
Vuyani: "Where's your charm? Oh no! You lost your charm? I'm so over you! Yuck!"
Me: "Stop it." I laughed.
Vuyani: "Charm come back please. Come back charm! She's charmless without you."
Me: "God! You're so annoying." He turned me on my back and caged me in. His eyes were so instense suddenly.
Vuyani: "Gift or no gift. Charm or no charm. You're mine and you're stuck with me. You can't run away. You're the one who wooed me first and chased me around making me love you. So Lady, you must take responsibility."
Me: "How must I take responsibility?" I saw him reach for something quickly.
Vuyani: "First you have to agree to be my wife."
Me: "I'll agree when you ask me buddy."
Vuyani: "I'm asking now aren't I?"
Me: "What-." I felt him slid something cold and heavy on my finger.
Vuyani: "Marry me Isiqhamo Tetani." Shell shocked. That was me. "Actually, I had wanted to ask you before I left for Australia but chickened out." He chuckled nervously. "Now there's no chickening out because I desperately want to make you my wife. I don't want to wait any longer little beamer. I can't wait any longer."
Me: "Vuyani." My vision blurred because of the tears.
Vuyani: "Say yes little beamer. Didn't you just say you'll agree if I asked?" Oh god. He was as crazy as me. A match made in heaven.
Me: "You...how...oh my god!" I said putting my hand over my mouth and then realizing that it's the same hand with the ring on. My hand shook as I stared at the biggest diamond rock I've ever seen. It sparkled.
Vuyani: "So you'll be my wife?"
Me: "Yes. Of course I'll be your wife you crazy man." His whole face brightened.
Vuyani: "Really?"
Me: "Silly, you put the ring on me before I could even say yes."
Vuyani: "I didn't want to give you a chance to hesitate."
Me: "You're crazy."
Vuyani: "For you, yes." Then he kissed me.
