A moment in time

CHAPTER 44

"Bitch you have been daydreaming ever since this morning. Whats up with you?" Andile asks snapping me from my thoughts.

"No I'm just reflecting and tryna figure out where to from here. I feel like I need a fresh start of some sort like a new house and a new car even a new hair style or a change in wardrobe"

"Ohhhh I think I heard you mention wardrobe"he says stopping what he was doing to look at me.

"No don't even think about it I am not letting you change my wardrobe but I'm just saying that I need a fresh start. Now that I only have me to worry about I should start taking care of me and living my life like its golden"

"You sound like a divorcee"he says  cringing his face.

"Its sad ne?"

He nods.

"I hate you" I remark focusing back on my laptop to continue with my work.

My telephone ringed and I picked it up with my eyes glued on what I'm doing.

"Advocate Ndilika speaking"

"Ma'am its Sinawo there's someone here to see you,should I send him through?"

"A client or?"

"No ma'am he is not a client,its actually my first time seeing his face here"

"Oh okay its fine send him through"

I dropped the call and thinned my eyes tryna figure out who could this be. I hope its not one of Ndumiso's tricks cause the almighty knows I'm not in the mood today.

After a few minutes there's was a knock on the office door and it didn't take long before the door opened and Dr.Muzuru walked in.

I don't think I was able to hide my irritation cause his smile dropped slowly.

"Bad timing?"

"Probably,just tell me what are you doing here and how the hell did you find out where I work?" I sharply asked.

"I might have went through your files and found out everything I wanted to know there"he says smiling nervously.

"Why are you here sir?"

"I was thinking about you then I thought it would be nice if I brought you lunch"

I took a deep breath. "Fine. You can come in"

"I will just go and finish this up by the interns work area"Andile says taking his laptop and files,leaving.

"Leave the door open" I asked as he left the office.

"Why you don't trust yourself around me?"he asks taking a sit across me.

I snort, shaking my head. "I'm not on lunch break yet Mr Muzuru so unfortunately I cant sit here and chat"

"No I wont be long also I just wanted to see your sexy self"

"Do you speak to all your female friends like that? I mean calling them sexy or making remarks on how their body looks? Cause I don't know about them but I find it inappropriate"

"Well I don't befriend woman who I see as woman I would love to have as mine than just my friend. You are the first woman to even suggest that"

I thin my eyes nodding. "I see"

"But since you so fine I will be patient with you"

"Mr Muzuru like I said I have a deadly deadline that I need to meet so if you don't mind please go ahead"I indicate with my hand showing him the door. "And next time make an appointment please"

"That's okay. Enjoy the rest of your day"he says walking out.

I rolled my eyes taking a deep breath as soon as he disappeared out of sight. Im sure I don't have to be nice to him anymore cause its not like I will go back there anytime soon.

I continued with my work and as soon as I was done, Andile and I left the office for four back to back meetings.

After the last meeting it was already late and past home time. I dropped off Andile back at the firm since his car was there and decided to pass by St Burbons fast food on my way back home to  get their amazing seafood boil.

I ordered and got myself a glass of wine as I waited for my order. I went to sit at a table close to the corner of the restaurant for some peace and quiet.

I sat scrolling on my phone trying to avoid the woman hissing behind me. I thought this corner was quiet.

"I don't know what the hell Im gonna do cause I'm getting married soon and my fiance thinks I'm carrying his child Donald"she hissed sounding devastated.

I sighed shaking my head like why do us woman always get ourselves in some stupid shit because of men?

"Donald the doctor said I'm more than 3 weeks pregnant and you know very well that you are the only guy I ever slept with besides my fiance so dont your dare tell me about your wife cause I'm telling you that my fiance thinks I'm carrying his child now imagine how my life will be when he finds out that I'm carrying a white baby" she gritted her teeth now sounding angry.

I silently laughed shaking my head. This is so fucken entertaining I wish I could ask her to come have this conversation at my house so I can hear the full story.

"You know what I am not going to give birth to this baby,I will not raise a child alone Donald so fuck you and this baby"she hissed angrily banging the table.

A waitress came to inform me that my order was ready and as I stood up to go fetch my order the lady also stood up and my jaw dropped at the sight of Ndoniyamanzi standing in front of me. I froze looking at her. Why is she so pretty in person? She literally looks like an African goddess. But wait...what did I just hear?

"Please don't ask me for a photo I'm not in the mood" she dismissed walking past me looking annoyed. I furrowed my eyebrows watching her as she walked away, wait did the bitch think I am her fan?

The waitress waved at me and I snapped myself out of it walking over to the counter to fetch my order.

I walked back to my car and saw her driving off in a red Ferrari. I walked to my car and drove home.

•••

I got home and went straight to take a shower,I got dressed in my night dress and made my way downstairs to warm my food and yes the whole time I'm thinking about this whole thing and the more I think about it the angrier I get. Why are some woman so vile? 

I made a conference video call, calling Andile and Tumi.

They both answered in almost the same time.

"Ladies whats up?" -Tumi

"Love the way my skin looks on this video call guys, look at that" Andile says checking himself out on the video call camera.

"You actually look so good what are you using?" -Tumi

"Its that even tone cream I told you about" -Andile

"Ohhh the N-

"Guys Ndoni is not carrying Ndumiso's child"I blurted out nervously.

"Chomi don't do this to yourself. I thought we were done with this" -Tumi

"Millz just let him go please" -Andile

"So you guys think I would lie about something like this? If you don't believe me then obviously Ndumiso wont either. You know what its fine forget I said anything"

"Okay Millz just calm down and tell us everything and exactly how you found out about this" -Tumi

I explained the whole story to him down to the car she was driving and they went silent and knowing how loud they are it just made me feel more stupid.

"You guys don't believe me?"

"Chomi just let this guy go cause honestly now you sound like an obsessed ex" -Andile

"You know what good night guys"

I dropped the call and put the food I bought in the fridge before making my way to bed.
