I hold my red wine in my hand as I am watching television and a knock on the door grabs my attention.
I look at the clock and see it's late for people to come and visit me. The girls were coming two days later and not now. I grab my phone and unlock it.
I go to the camera surveillance app and see Calvin, dressed in casual and holding flowers. I put my phone down and got up to open for him. I unlock the door and see him checking his phone."Hey."
Calvin looks up and smiles."Hey… can I come in,it's kind of cold out here?"
I move out of the way and he enters the house. I close the door and turn around to see him close to my body."Why are you here?"I narrow my eyes as he gives me flowers."Thanks for the flowers."
He looks at me and rubs his goatee."I want to talk to you about Paulo Santos Junior."
I roll my eyes and grin."Take a seat, Calvin and I'll bring you something to eat."I hold his shoulder and rub it."Trust me,you want to hear this."
He looks at me and rubs his goatee again."Okay."I pat his shoulder and walk to the kitchen to make him something to eat like pasta and meatballs with cheese sauce and pour some water for the flowers.
I grab a can of beer in the fridge and put it on the tray with the food and dishcloth. I walk to the living room and see him pacing around while he is typing on his phone."Here you go."
He looks up and smiles. He takes a seat next to where I was sitting, he takes the tray and I sit next to him just a safe distance keeping us away from each other."Thank you."
He wipes his hands and starts to eat."Paulo hasn't visited me yet but he's making moves."
"What does he do?"
I take a sip of my wine as my heart is beating fast."FaceTimes me,calls every day and night. He also texts me."
"Do you want him?"I look down and fiddle at my nails.
I bite my lip and just shake my head."I don't know but I know that dating or being with him will be like a death sentence because this guy is a big shot gangster and businessman."I look up at him."I was also thinking about what you said to be at the amusement park."
He looks at me and smiles."You are fierce, Sithelo."
I grin."Thanks for the compliment. Why do you say that?"
"I love how you date my type of guys. You are brave for that. I know that it can be hard. Trust me, like for example dating a slay queen is hard."
I look at him and narrow my eyes."Your baby mama?"
He shakes his head and takes a forkful of the pasta."That was before my baby mama and my first serious girlfriend."I nod my head as I stare into space."Well, I want you, Sithelo."
