Sobahle
"Home sweet home saze sa fika ngomusa smakade" I throw my tired self on the couch the moment I enter the house.
"Should I order in or are we gonna whip something quickly?"
Bukhosi asks while he sits next to me.
"Zulu I don't think I have the energy to stand in the kitchen I'm really tired" I say with my eyes closed.
"Ok then settled we are ordering in, so what would you like to have?" Thank god he did not insist on a home cooked meal because I'm very tired.
"We can order burgers mybe what do you have in mind?"
"Two boxes of pizza, I'm really not a huge fan burgers."
"Yeah go on and place an order I'll go and refresh while we wait" I say standing up from the couch.
"Please don't take a bath because it will take longer" he says as I'm walking upstairs and I laugh.
"Hawu Zulu, I'll take a very quick shower I promise!" I shout from upstairs and he chuckles loudly.
My former bedroom is full of gifts I received from the Zulus their friends and relatives, they were delivered from Kwanongoma today morning because they were too many for us to travel with. I enter the rooms ensuite and take a shower, lather my skin and wear my pajamas.
"Didn't you say a quick you will be taking a quick shower?" He asks eyebrows raised.
"But I took a quick one, sorry if I took a long time" I say while making a puppy face.
"Let's eat miss quick shower" He sarcastically says and I laugh.
'Your bedroom is so spacious and beautiful" I say the moment we I enter in the beautiful main bedroom, his bed is made perfectly with white and grey sheets there is a small vanity table with a mirror and a beautiful suede couch.
"Thanks, feel free to make a few changes inside our bedroom and the whole house if you feel like it." I haven't really been to all the rooms inside this house but the ones I have been in look beautiful they may need only a few art pieces here and there but the house so far is gorgeous.
"Ok thank, I'm going to brush my teeth."
I say taking my toiletry bag and he follows me to the bathroom, I stand in front of the double basins and brush my teeth and Bukhosi is inside the toilet peeing he comes out and starts to take his clothes off his chest oh god, his bare chest is my weakness he catches me looking at him from the mirror reflection and he shakes his head and takes his trackpants down showing his briefs ok this is my que to leave, I quickly dash out of the bathroom.
"Sobahle squinch closer"
Bukhosi says after getting in bed while I'm at the far end of the bed, he smells so good I move closer and I come in contact with his bare chest I try to get away from him but he pulls me into a cuddle and I freeze before composing myself.
"Are you comfortable" he asks and I nod in response.
"There are two house helpers lana ekhaya but if you feel like you need more or maybe one is enough you will say."
His chest vibrates behind while he speaks lowly.
"I think one helper is enough at the moment but I feel bad for her being dismissed maybe she needs the money"
"No she won't be jobless our house helpers work under the monarchy so don't worry whoever we let go will be fine."
"Ok, and maybe she will come help around when I conceive." He chuckles making my body tingle.
"Oh don't worry MaZungu the baby making process will be in motion soon, I hope you are ready for it but first we will take sometime to get to know each other." Everything Bukhosi says sounds very sexy to me maybe I'm just driven by my lusty thoughts.
"Your mom said that I'm going to have to take a role as a senior royal family member and maybe have an NGO or something that will help and benefit the people." Bukhosi keeps quiet for a while.
"No." He says sternly.
"But Bukhosi I promised Uma that I'll.." he cuts me short.
"You are not going to do such a thing, and don't think, I'm controlling or dictating your life because I'm not I want us to be able to live a normal life." I don't get his point maybe he does not want me to work.
"But doing community work is normal for you guys, your family members do the work all the time they run a big NGO why can't I work with them." He turns my body to face him and hovers over me, he looks very serious his sleepy hazel eyes are sternly looking into mine.
"You are my wife and not the nations or my family's wife, I will not allow you to be hurt because I promised to protect you and I intend on doing that only if you allow me ok?" He asks sternly looking at me and I nod, his face is too close to mine mhm.
"I want you to answer me MaZungu." His breath brushes over my whole face
"Yebo." I respond and lick my suddenly dry lips, his eyes move to my lips and back to my eyes.
"MaZungu you don't know what you are doing, let's sleep before I lose control." He commands and kisses my forehead and nose before he moves from me and holds me tight and I snuggle closer to him and he chuckles.
"How is my cousin treating you, I know Bukhosibomvelo is a bully sometimes?" Senamile is here and we are having lunch outside, we are sitting in the patio basking under the sun. Her dressing style is definitely of royalty the long leather trench coat she is wearing matches with her black boots, while I'm wearing my lounge wear to keep warm.
"Bukhosi is treating me fine but he is too strict." I say and we laugh
"Yeah tell me about it, Mvelo is very strict and he is sometimes a push over."
"Yesterday day I told him that Uma asked me to be part of the family NGO and he said no, he refused and told that he is protecting." Sena laugh at my statement, I drink my coffee and watch her enjoying my sorrows.
"Mvelo is too over protective especially after Ntombi's death." What is Senamile talking about now curiously I pry.
"Who is Ntombi and what is her relation to Bukhosi?"
"I don't want to be the one to tell you this because it is a very touching topic for Mvelo."
What does she mean now.
"Sena please tell me who is this Ntombi?"
"Sobahle umh.. Ntombi is or rather was Mvelo's girlfriend and she committed suicide, that's all I'm going to tell you."
So Bukhosi had a girlfriend I wonder what happened to her, I guess her death is the reason why Bukhosi is so cold.
"So wena when is the wedding taking place?"
Senamile is traditionally married to Zwe who is Bukhosi's close friend, Zwelethu is a business man and a trust fund baby like them, and they have a baby boy together.
"The white wedding will take place in summer next year and hopefully my future niece or nephew will be present as my ring bearer."
Sena says excitedly.
"You are already fantasizing about a baby that's not even conceived yet."
I say and laugh at her crazy fantasy.
"You and Mvelo have to start working immediately then."
"Don't worry cuz, MaZungu and I will start making the baby tonight." Bukhosi says walking in he hugs Sena and he sits down next to me and leans to kiss my lips but I give him my kiss instead and he chuckles after landing a tender kiss on my cheeks and I blush.
"Guys stop flirting, you have a guest." Sena says breaking our little moment.
"Umona Sena, maybe you should leave or what do you say MaZungu?"
Haibo Bukhosi wants us to kick Sena out with my help, never I'm not getting involved in their little fight.
"Bukhosibomvelo Zulu you are a husband to Sobahle because of me remember, manje you are kicking me out" Senamile the match maker says arrogantly to her brother and I laugh.
"Mxm I was going to get her even without your help." Oh planned to get me
"As if she would have agreed to talk to you or come to KZN in the first place." Sena shoots back at Bukhosi who stands up going to her.
"Bye sis, thank you for checking on us." Bukhosi says helping the shocked Senamile stand up and handing her, her handbag
"It's fine plus I was already leaving before you even decided to kick me out dear cuz."
Senamile says and Bukhosi chuckles, their relationship is so funny and beautiful to watch.
"Love you Mile."
He says hugging Senamile who does not even hug him back.
"Yazi wena Mxm, bye my Bahle next time come to my house. I love you girl."
Senamile says walking away from her brother and embracing me into a warm hug and kissing my cheeks.
"Or maybe we can go pamper ourselves on the next date, I love you too greet Zwe and champ for me let me walk you out." Champ is hers and Zwelethu's son.
"No it's fine I'll walk myself out take care yezwa."
I nod hugging her for the last time.
"Wena, Bukhosibomvelo I'm going to get you." She says walking out and Bukhosi laughs hard.
"Bukhosi you are such a party popper."
"I came back to spend sometime with my wife but I'm being bashed yoh my bad."
