I started sleeping next to Siyanda when she was discharged 6 weeks ago. The first two days were hectic , she had terrible nightmares and would scream and kick amd punch and pull the duvet and would only calm down when I would whisper affirmations to her. She tried going back to work despite the 6 weeks that our family doctor adviced her to take off work so her ribs would heal all because she was 20 thousand rands short of freeing herself from Akhumzi.

Gosiame hasn't pressed charges and I don't know how she's doing , my brother  Senzo was on my nerves for a full week because he felt like I was damaging family assets and breaking strong bonds created by him and uBaba and we fought during a phone call but now I'm okay, don't know about him. Courtney hasn't said a word about that fight , not even to Mpilo because Siyanda asked her not to but if It was me even Mydorpie our local newspaper would know about the fight and all the injuries I received.

Sleeping next to Siyanda left me yearning for more , for a relationship , for love and I want to take a chance and give her a shot but Im afraid I might self sabotage especially since the last time I gave love a chance I found 'my lover" in bed with another woman and a strapon that was longer and bigger than my actual family jewels so I'm scared and Im not sure if she wants to be in a relationship but then again sleeping next to each other has crossed some boundaries and we aren't acquantances anymore , maybe friends , I don't know.

Courtney and I drove to Montana Police Station to go and give Akhumzi his ring and lobola money back. The men in our house don't know about this trip , neither does Akhumzi and its better we suprise everyone. If he isn't expecting me I will have the upperhand , he won't try and manipulate me nor will he try to raise his voice , pin me against the wall or strangle me because he will be in his office and it will be two against one.

I arrive at the front desk and I find a woman who tells me that he isn't at the office but I raise my  hands and show her my ring finger and she shows me his office , the upperhand just flew outside the window because clearly this piece of shit has been expecting me. I don't knock on his door I budge in and ignore the three police officers standing infront of his desk and I throw the ring at him and then I open the duffel bag and empty it on his table.

'You're going to regret this you know? Because im the only man that will take you as infertile as you are " he says leaning back on his leather chair and I chuckle , 'When I said you were the infertile one I meant it because im expecting and I'm sure a lifetime of raising children who aren't yours won't hurt you wena Mr regrets who has been sleeping with my friend the entire duration of our marriage" and I turn around and bump into the three officers and I say ' You're unable to fight against crime but you're able to form a barrier here , vulani indlela " and the move and Courtney and I head out.

When Mpilo and I head back home we find the women of the house waiting for us in their best dresses and new hairstyles. The lights have been switched off but theres a candle lit trail from the kitchen to the dinning room and up into the bedrooms. The dinner table has bigger candles and bowls and dishes full of food. Mpilo the whore swallows hard and says 'I have a feeling that tonight Courtney will poison me for all the cheating I have done and I might never make it out alive tomorrow, so don't be suprised if I don't live in the moment or even touch my plate" and I ignore him and drop my car keys in the car key bowl and go sit next to Siyanda.

Mpilo doesn't touch his food until Siyanda asks if he is okay and Courtney tells him three times that jail isn't a nice place and she won't poison him and besides we are celebrating Siyanda tonight and then he digs in and dishes up like he was stuck in jail eating shit , he even dishes up again two times and we all laugh at him.

Siyanda raises her wine glass for a toast to being single and for the courage she had today when she was giving back the ring and the lobola money and we all raise our glasses and toast to her. After a few glasses Mpilo and his girlfriend head upstairs leaving us with two unopened bottles.  We finish the first one but hardly get time to touch the second one because I tell her how I've been feeling about her and she tells me that she has grown to love me but has had a lot of uncertainty because of the rumours and her whole situation and I brush off all those rumours and uncertainties with a kiss and I tell her that I love her and I want her to be mine , and she kisses me back and agrees to be mine forever because she loves me too and I take her hand and carry her up the stairs into my bedroom.

We kiss some more until I pull away and sit on my side pedestal so I can take off her shoes and tease her. I have imagined this moment for a very long time and I want it to be perfect for her because it's already perfect for me. Instead of taking off her clothes I kiss her some more and unbutton my shirt a little and she does the rest. She takes a good five minutes looking  at and touching my chest , turning me on further and making me feel proud of all the hours spent in the gym.

She unbuttons my pants and goes down on her knees but I bring her up quickly  and whisper ladies first because her nut matters more than mine and I have always dreamt of tasting her. Things escalate quickly then I finally rip her dress off and slide her barely there thong off her and slide in.
