BLOOD SISTER

Nthabiseng Selepe

" And you two go here , welcome to your new home good luck you will need it " The warden says as she closed the steel door and locked it , I turned around and looked at the people inside the cell . They where all looking at us like we are some snacks ,from where I was standing I could hear the girl I walked in with breathing heavily showing these fools how much of a coward she is . One women stood up who looked like a man not becouse of her big body but even her face , it is illegal to be that ugly while you are a women . She gave her cigarettes to one of the inmates than looked at us up and down,  she smiled a little showing off her gold teeth only God knows how I hate that .

" ladies welcome to my castle I am big Sally and what big Sally wants big Sally gets " Her accent was so thick the only thing was left to sign the deal away was missing teeth , and I think I've heard that phrase before  . The girl she gave a cigarettes came to us than pulled down her pants and peed on the floor , the other inmates started making noise probably entertained about what the girl did or rather about what would happen next  .

" Clean the floor " Big Sally says as she looked after us with her hands in her pocket , the girl I walked in with took one of her clothes attempting to wipe the urine on the floor .

" I said clean the floor with your tongue " Big Sally says  the girl went down on her knees and started licking the floor I felt like vomiting.

" I'm not doing that " I say as i looked at the girl on the floor ,

" What did you say?" Bug Sally ask

" I said I ain't doing that , Metter fact clean it yourself " I say , she chuckled she took a few steps back and raised up her hand . She went back to the bed she was sitting on and four girls walked up to us with socks that had a bar soap on them .the first girl sweng the sock my way and it hit me in my left eye , I fell on top of the dirty floor the other one joined her and started beating me up and all I could do was to scream .

A ringing phone is what woke me up , I fished for it under the pillow and answered as soon as I got hold of it . I put it ontop of my ear with my ear with my eyes still closed , people don't have peace .

" And anonymous is still asleep "I quickly open my eyes and checked the caller ID it was unsaved numbers.

Me: And who is this ?
" Andile we met yesterday at clicks and you gave me your number " I held my head as I remembered him
Me: Corrections mr I did not give you my numbers , you actually took my phone and called yourself without even consulting me .
Andile: And turns out i did good , I mean if you didn't want to talk to me you would have hung up by now mama
Me: What is it that you want from me ?
Andile : we both know what I want
Me: Kid you should go and look for women your age ( I say ) 
Andile: What makes you think I am a kid don't judge a book by its cover mam
Me: How old are you again , 28 .
Andile : Thanks for the vote of confidence but I am actually 38 years old .
Me: When you where born I was already eating pap with chicken and didn't need a diaper anymore .
Andile : like that had ever stopped me before ( I laugh a little ) and she knows how to laugh .
Me : Andile you should go play with your age mates I am older than you ( I sat with a smile on my face , you could just tell that he is a fuck boy
Andile : See the problem is my age mates are not really my type
Me: Well make them your type mr ( I say before I hung up )

I walk to the bathroom first pee than wash my teeth and my face ,when I am done I walk back to my room and put on the rope that I find in my room . I walk to the kitchen  and I pass the twins by the lounge while still wearing their sleeping clothes .

"You two better start cleaning before dragon lady starts shouting " I say to them and they both laugh,  when I get to the kitchen I find my sister baking I make a cup of tea than take some scones from the dish . My phone chimes indicating a massage , it is an SMS from Andile I haven't really saved his numbers. 

"Please do save my number Nthabiseng i will be waiting for your whatsApp massage, love Andile " I chuckle a little how the fuck does he know my name becouse last time I checked I did not tell him my name. 

"Who is that ?" I look at Nthabeleng as she looked at me curious

" no one " I answer as I put my phone away and drank my tea

Nthabeleng Selepe

Nthabiseng has been smiling with her phone since from in the morning ,when I ask her she says it is nothing or says no one. Back than she would have told me everything from the minute they exchanged numbers it is not a rocket science to figure it out that it is a man she is talking to .

" When did Carl quit his job as a police ?" She ask as she joined me on the couch .

" when he opened his art studio . " I answer

" He always had a thing for art , anyway I am in trouble. " I look at her than sigh .

" Those inmates I owe want their money back , before Friday and today is Sunday so we still have time . " She says

" I told you I won't pay those people you have to get a job and pay them back ." I say I don't have money to waste .

"Well you are going to pay those people before Friday or alse "I roll my eyes

" Or alse what ?"

" Or alse I will start singing the song you hate " She says with a smirk I swallow and look at her.

" Nthabiseng I didn't I ask you to go to prison for me I don't know why you want money from me ."

" God i know that , and I shouldn't have done that I thought that I was protecting my little sis but than it  turns out that it was the biggest mistake of my life becouse you did not deserve that and still don't so pay up sis before i start singing . Remember I have friends who are still officers . " I keep quite and look at her she stands up to leave but than stops and comes back and sits ontop of the coffee table while facing me , mom would flip if she saw her sitting like that .

" Can I ask you a question " I nod while looking at her " When did your affair with Carl start , was it before I went to prison or after I went to prison wich year to be exact? "
