Family Ties

Missing You

"Ayo. You've been gone everyday for an entire month now. Wassup?" I ask Andiswa. "Are you jealous?" She asks then I give her a bored look then click my tongue. "You missed out on your chance Sims." She says then I shake my head. "Will you answer me or you'll keep acting like I wanted you?" I ask then she looks at me and laughs. "You didn't have to be that personal Sims." She says with her hand on her heart. "So. Who's this person?" I ask then she puts her finger on her lips.

"I'll tell you when it's official." She says then I arch my eyebrow. "Are you dating a man?" I ask then she makes a disgusted face. "Please respect me." She says then I laugh. I put my hands up in defense. She sits back on the couch then I see her blush. "Well, unlike you, I know how to keep a girlfriend." She says. I open my mouth to speak but stop myself, instead I shake my head instead. "So, I met someone, but we just enjoying each other's company for now. We'll see where that takes us." She says then I nod my head.

"That's good. But I wanna meet her. You mother almost killed me when she found out I let you go see someone we don't know." I say then she laughs. "Not right now. What if things change all of a sudden?" She asks then I bite my lip. "Just tell her. If she agrees, then it will probably last." I say then she lets out a sigh. "I won't judge her based on her answer." She says then I shrug my shoulders and let out a sigh. "Okay, so I'm no longer covering for you then." I say then she quickly turns her head to me. "Sims no. Please." She pleads but I shake my head. "I'm sorry. But I just can't keep vouching for a person I don't know." I say shaking my head.

"But I know her." She says. "Then you should be able to tell your parents. If you trust her, then tell your parents." I say looking at her. She lets out a sigh and folds her arms. "Even if you mad." I say grabbing my phone is sitting back.

We were just chilling in her room on the couch. We weren't doing anything, we were just on our phones and talking here and there. There is a knock on her door. She tells the person to come in then her mother appears behind the door. "One or both of you come help me cook." She says then leaves, but comes back seconds later. "The one who doesn't cook will wash the dishes." She adds then leaves. "Ey, I'm out." I say standing up. Andiswa also stands up. "I'm not washing dishes." She says then I laugh.

We both go downstairs and see her in the kitchen. "Who's helping?" She asks. "I am." Andiswa says before I can answer. "Okay. Sims you'll help me wash the dishes." She says then I let out a sigh. Andiswa looks back at me and laughs silently. I mock her then she laughs. I shake my head then sit on a chair by the kitchen island.

Aunt Khanyi and I haven't spoken about what happened yet. I guess she hasn't made up her mind, but I'm still cool with that. The only thing about this thing is we don't exactly flirt anymore, mostly because we are never in a room alone, there's always someone. And even if we are, it's only for a few minutes. So yeah man. "Sims come with me." I hear my dads voice then look behind me. I see him disappear in the direction of the patio then stand up.

"Are y'all good?" I ask Aunt Khanyi then she looks at me and nods her head. "I mean he didn't greet anyone, so I thought, but anyways." I say then make my way to the patio. I sit on a singular chair next to him. "Sims, before I tell you, I just wanna say that I love this woman." He says then I nod my head. "Okay?" I reply. "And I'm going to have to break our deal." He says. Not gonna lie, I still didn't know what he was talking about. He let out a breath then reached into his blazers inside pocket. He pulled out a ring box then I shook my head.

"Nahhh." I say shaking my head. "Just keep up with me here." He says then I fiddle trying to keep myself from speaking or walking away. "Look. It's going to two years, literally in a month, we will have completed two tears. I'm tired of waiting. I want her to be my wife." He says then I let out a chuckle. "Did you buy yourselves a home yet?" I ask then he lets out a sigh. "Honestly, I don't know why you rushing this whole damn thing. But just know that, right now, I don't like it. I know it's not my decision to make and you don't necessarily need my blessing-" he cuts me off. "No but I do. That's why I'm telling you." He says.
