Two knocks on the door before I walk in "Hello?"
"Ausi Nkoe! You didn't say you were coming." My niece remarks coming to hug me.
"I did not want you guys going all out when I am only coming for a little while." she nods before she moves back to making a snack.
"Who did you come to see?"
"Your grandfather."
"He is in the back, gardening."
"Thanks, Tshidi." heading to the back, I check the house to make sure nothing is missing. "Papa."
"I did not know you were coming."
"Surprise visit. What are you doing?"
"I am planting onions." I nod as I lean on the wall.
"Listen, I know you love being involved with my businesses and I am thankful but I am the owner, I am the boss and that means when I give an order, I do not want any contradiction."
"I am just making sure they do their job well."
"Your job, is to look after my mother and my nieces and nephews, you are my father and that is why I am giving you a warning but do it again and you will be needing a nurse of your own."
"Are you threatening me? I am your father."
"It is a promise and I would respect the title, if you raised me, do not make me come back here again for this or it will not be pretty." he nods and
"Kat, how is school going?" I ask the boy as he plays soccer in the front yard.
"Great, I do need a new school bag."
"Oh, what type?"
"A blue one, please," he asks with his puppy dog eyes. "Can I also get a new PlayStation?"
"What is wrong with your old one?"
"It's old."
"Well, I will have to see about the PlayStation but we can get the bag today."
"Okay, I'll go get ready." I nod before I make my way towards the twins currently on their phones.
"What's up, you two?"
"Nothing much." Tsebo places his phone down but Dintle does not.
"Kat and I are going to buy his school bag, do you guys have anything you want to buy?"
"Not that I remember."
"Ring light?" Dintle suggests
"For?"
"Tiktok."
"Okay, are you coming with? He is getting ready."
"Give me a second." she rushes to her room.
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"Yeah."
"Kat says the PlayStation is old, do you need a new one or is it a want?"
"It is a want, but we need new games."
"How many?"
"A few."
"Go get ready, you can pick them out." he trudges to his bedroom, not wanting to come with. I head back home after spending time with them and it is fairly late when I get back home.
As I try to focus on my job, my mind keeps going back to that kiss, her lips, her skin, her scent and her savour. How she touched me, her fingers, how they torched my world on fire.
