Soooo, I'm almost at 10k reads and that's so motivating 🫂. Here's a lil something something different from the usual ...
I wake up to a text from my boyfriend, confirming the lunch with his mom. I roll my eyes already dreading the day. I really don't want to do lunch with his mom, that woman hates me and honestly same.
I dial his number and he answers on the third ring.
"Baby"
"Ha-ah don't you baby me, I told you to get me out of this.. why do I need to be at wimpy ka 13:00?"
"I'm sorry babe she just kept on insisting even though I tried to tell her you were busy"
Mxm it's fine, I guess I'll just have to thug it out, are you gonna be there?"
"Uhm... I actually kinda have a thing for work"
"If your not going neither an I "
"What!?"
"I can't do this alone"
"Mama please, I won't be able to make it, I'll pick you..."
"Katlego!"
"I'll pick you up at 12" he says in a defeated tone.
"Ok good bye , I love you"
"I love you more "
He hangs up and I immediately get out of bed by 10 am I'm already done cleaning my apartment and I get ready, katlegos mother hates me but I at least have to try and impress her even in the smallest ways, after all she did give birth to an amazing human. I knew katlego wouldn't be able to get me out of this lunch with his mother because he's weak when it comes to her so I got her a small gift.
I decide on wearing a long flowy backless dress and some sandles. I glance at the time and it's already 12 but I haven't done my makeup yet, my phone rings and I curse internally.
"Hello?"
"I'm outside, please let me in"
"Ok"
I hang up and go grab my things and go downstairs, I also grab a few hair ties so I can tie my braids in the car.
I open the gate to the complex and he picks me up at the bottom of the staircase, he never lets me go all the way to the gate no matter what.
As I approach his car I hear his speakers playing some crappy amapiano music, I open his door a little roughly and throw everything in my hands inside and then plonk myself on the seat he gives me a cute little laugh.
" hey baby you look amazing"he says kissing my cheek
"Oh shut up, I didn't even do my hair, nevermind the make up."
" you can do your hair right now, and I think you left an eyeliner pencil under my seat a few days ago you should use that,but I think you look perfect"
I almost roll my eyes at him but he's just so adorable, I pull the seat back at retrieve the eyeliner and get to work, after applyllling some gloss over the my lip I struggle with my hair for a while until the car stops at the side of the road, he goes out and opens my car door, giving me his arm I step out, with the damn hair tie.(shoelace)
He laughs at my frustration before picking me up and placing me on the bonnet. He gently begins tying my hair. The intimateness(is this even a word) of this action gets to me and I start feeling uncomfortable. He senses my unease and kisses my forehead and weirdly that calms me.
"Hey... look at me" I blink away the tears and look at him.
"I know you are nervous my mom makes you, it's fine to feel like that, even I'm afraid of her. It's ok if she doesn't like you, heck i don't give a fuck. I love you and that's all that matters ok?"
