Buhle Pov :
We're leaving tomorrow morning. Don't look at me like that. I told my mom that one of my friends had uMemulo eNatal, and she said she wanted to speak to her parents. Well... Sibonelo called and acted like the father of my supposed "friend." He was very good at acting , too good for my liking.
So now I'm going shopping. Solo. I miss Letho so much, but she hurt me, and I'm waiting for an apology because I sure won't apologize. Call it pride , I don't care.
I just finished taking a bath, and I'm still deciding on an outfit when Sibonelo calls .
Sibonelo : Mama, I'm outside .
Me : Haa kganti, what's the time ?
I move my phone from my ear and it's 12 pm on the dot . This guy and punctual.
Me : Eish, okay . I'm not dressed yet.
Sibonelo : Okay, I'll wait for you .
He ends the call, and I just decided to wear a black bodycon dress and Nike Jordan 1s. I quickly take my white doek and do something simple, just to keep the headaches away. I grap my purse, lock the door, and run out of the gate . Sibonelo opens the car door for me, and I enter .
Sibonelo : Sawubona, Mama.
Me : Hello Siboni.
Sibonelo : You look beautiful.
His eyes linger on my doek for a while, and suddenly, I'm too conscious. I'm not ready to explain and answer questions, so I distract him by pulling him in for a hug . He wraps his arms around me, and I can't help but sigh . This man's arms make me feel so safe. He pulls away and kisses my temple.
Sibonelo : Asambeni.
Me : Okay, Ngema.
We drive away from my house and head to Mall of Africa. I didn't want to drive so far, but what can I say . While driving, Maskandi music is sofly playing in the background we have light conversation. I can't stop laughing because this guy says random shit.
Me : Awunanqodo wena sherm. ( You're crazy)
And all of a sudden, his jaw tenses. Hau? Did I say something wrong? He looks pissed or irritated.
Me : Baby?
Sibonelo : Mm
Me : Did I say something wrong?
Sibonelo : Cha Diya.
Me : Ngoku, why are you irritated? (Now)
Sibonelo : Eyy Buhle , awume. Usuba yiscefe. ( Leave it. You're becoming a nuisance)
Haibo!!!!!!
Me : Rhaa uphambene nxx.( you're full of it)
From there on, there is no conversation in the car, just silence. Mxm Sibonelo. Why would he say that?
We arrive at the mall, and I can't help but feel tense. I open the car door, step out, and slam it shut, causing a few heads turn.
Sibonelo : Buhle!!!!
Me : What?
Sibonelo : Yini wangdinekela mama? (Why are you angry?)
Hehe .. How can he ask me that , after what he said..
Me : So you're just going to pretend like you didn't just call me a nuisance.
Sibonelo : Mina? I did no such .
Me : Mxm. Okay, may we go in?
I turn on my heel and walk away . I hear the car locking, and he catches up to me quickly.
The first shop we go to is to look for suitcases since brothers don't have one and I also wanted a new one. We decide on a black 3 piece set . He agrees to take the medium, and I'll take the big one since I have a lot to pack. We then go to Zara since this man doesn't want me to shop at Mr Price. I hold up cargo jeans for him to see.
Me : These are nice, ne?
Sibonelo : You're wearing jeans to a Zulu family house ?
Me : Auu . What am I supposed to wear ?
Sibonelo : Buy skirts and dresses . I'll buy you these when we come back , okay, Mama.
Me : Okay, baby.
We continue shopping, our trolley getting fuller and fuller until we take a second one . People here are looking at us like we're crazy. It's probably because some of the brands we bought are very expensive.
Sibonelo : Baby. Your moms calling.
He hands me my phone and I answer it.
Me: Hello, Mama .
Mom : Molo baby. Are you at the mall already?
Me : Yes, mommy. I'm going to eat now .
Mom : Okay, baby . I'll be home a bit late , Auntie Dudu invited me to her house.
Me : Okay, Mommy, I'll just start packing.
Mom : Okay, baby . Bye now .
She hung up, and I placed my phone in my purse. Sibonelo is looking at me like a love sick teenager.
Me : Can we go eat ?
Sibonelo : Kuphi mama?(where)
Me : Casa Bella .I want pasta.
Sibonelo : Okay, baby.
We walk to the restaurant and when we get there a waiter approaches us.
Naledi : Hi, I'm Naledi, and I'm your waiter for today . Table for two ?
She says this while looking straight at Sibonelo. Mxm.
Me : Yes, do you maybe see a third person?
Naledi : No, but I was just making sure.
She's still batting her eyes at Sibonelo, but he is having none of it .
Me : Nontle, my face is here.
Naledi : It's Naledi. Let's go.
We walk to the table and sit down. She hands us our menus and says she'll come back to get our drinks .
Sibonelo : Why do you look angry?
Me : Because I am . Don't act like you didn't see her batting her eyelashes at you.
Sibonelo : Kodwa, I don't care about her angithi?
I feel the heat coming from my neck to my cheeks .
Sibonelo : You're so cute.
Me : Mxm, leave me alone.
Naledi comes back to collect our orders and a few minutes after she brings our food. We eat while talking and laughing. Soon we're finished and we pay the bill. We leave the mall and drive back home.
Me : Baby, I'm so tired
Sibonelo: Une haba MaBhejula. (You're dramatic)
Me : What did you just call me ?
I say this with a cheeky grin, and Sibonelo just smirks..
I think I'm falling for him.
