Arrangement : with the gang leader

16

It's been a couple of months now since I've began my teaching practical and since then A LOT has transpired. Thabang – my brother – and I met up a couples times, okay, no, we met up A LOT. I realized that life was slowly taking over my sanity and him being around has helped me cope. He helps me out with school work wherever he can since he was once a teacher himself before getting into coding and stuff.

T and I have been hanging out but not as much because life has kept us both quite busy and I'm pretty sure Ralph has too. I haven't hung out with her and the rest of the guys but I promised I would do so soon since I've finally got the hang of things. It took a while but between part time work and school as well as practicals? I was dying.

T and I moved in with each other last week. This was probably the best decision ever because now we'll get to see each other way more often by FORCE. I won't have to go weeks without my bestie.

The best part about this update is that I met someone! We've been talking for a while and maybe had some heated moments – the good kind haha – but I won't lie, it's not like how it is with Shadow. I don't know why but I've missed him. No, I don't like him or anything because he's lowkey kind of standoff-ish.

"We're going over to Shadows in an hour. Be ready. No excuses, no nothing mosadi ! I know you're done with school work and it's almost close to recess for December so don't even try me with any school b.s. And also, I know you don't have to meet up with Thabang because I spoke to him earlier on AND I know you're off work for the rest of the year." I don't know why she thought this- actually , I do know. I've sort of been avoiding seeing Shadow since the last time I saw him at the sleep over.

"Yho okay, it's not like you're giving me a choice anyway" I say going to my room to change into something more comfortable yet stylish because one thing about me? I will dress up and look bomb.

I thank my smart brain for buying new clothes because I really had nothing to wear anymore.

T was already dressed so she was just waiting for me. It didn't take that long for me to find something cute to wear and as for make up? You already know how that goes besides, T said we'd just be chilling. A braai of some sort.
I get a text from Chloe. The girl from Shadows home welcoming that I got along with? Yes, her. Her and I have become good friends and we've even hung out a couple times and we talk quite often.

She asked if I was coming so she could know whether to also come. She gets along with T too. In as much as my bestie is jealous but she's also got good taste and isn't unreasonable. So her and Chloe got along well.

"I know it's dumb to ask but will he be there?" I ask. I've already spilled the beans to T because I genuinely can't keep things from her for too long.

"Girl, cmon. Y'all should just fuck and get it over and don't with" she says this like it's the most obvious solution.

"Stop talking kak and lets go tuu" I grab my stuff and we order an uber.

We get there to some music and people chatting and laughing. It's giving good vibes. The diva squad is here too. This is going to be good. NOT.

"Oh my gosh! You guys are always dressed like you're going to a fashion even or something" comments Chloe while giving us hugs. She's so sweet man.

"Girl, you look good too"

"You never know who you're going to bump into ey" I add after we hype her up.

Candice and her divas make their way to us and a part of me starts getting nervous. I remember now that she's with Shadow and obviously since what happened happed it's a tad bit weird.

Surprisingly they merely greet and we just have normal chats. Well, I didn't do much talking but we could be cool around each other. There were some jabs thrown here and there but not enough to cause a scene.  The men call us outside to show us something and when we get there they first greet T and I since we didn't see them until now and White complains about how long it's been since he last seen me.

White is definitely my favourite. He's like a brother at this point.

"You really just somma abandoned me baby" complains White while the guys show us their dumb stunt thing and we laugh before I turn back my attention to White and squeeze his cheeks to which he swats my hands away from his face.

"I missed you too my love. I'm sorry, I got caught up with school. I'll do better" I give him a big grin and he rolls his eyes chuckling then we hug.

"Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence" Says the voice I've been avoiding for 3 months now.

"Well, if it isn't my most favourite person in the whole world" I say sarcastically with a fake small and he scoffs while walking past me and White laughs.

"Y'all seem to get along"

I give him a death stare and he raises his hands up in surrender.

I follow Shadow into the kitchen and then fold my arms while looking at him and he turns to look at me. He smirks. And I roll my eyes which makes him chuckle.

"So now you're stalking me" he boldly states.
" Get over yourself asshole." I say leaning onto the counter and he gets closer.

"I'd rather get under you, If you know what I mean" he gets in front of me and I push him further away from me.

He then grabs me by my arm undoing my folded arms and putting both my arms around his neck as he grabs me by the waist. I don't get enough time to process what he does next because I'm still stuck on how much tenacity this man has.
