New Roles 2

"Are you okay?" I snap out of my thoughts and look up. "I'm good." My phone rings, I see it's Bayanda then answer. She tells me she's outside then I go out with Andiswa. "Hey." I hug her wrapping my right arm around her waist with her left arm over my shoulder. We pull away then I look at her. "You look beautiful." I say with a smile and put my hands in my pockets. "Thank you." She says. "You look good too." She says then I nod my head.

She looks at Andiswa. "Hey." She greets then they hug. "Hi." Andiswa greets back. Kea's car approaches and she parks next to Bayanda. I look at Bayanda and just smile. She's beautiful man. She's wearing a cute pink dress and sandals. I can't keep my eyes off of her. I didn't even notice Andiswa had left cause now she was walking to us hand in hand with Kea. "You good?" Kea greets stretching her hand to me. I dap her up. "All good." I say then she side hugs Bayanda. "Ready?" I ask her. "Guess we'll see." She says then Andiswa leans on her arm and smiles at her.

"Since y'all doing this, you better be in it. Like if you somewhat have any doubts, you allowed to to just reconsider." I say. "Nah, Andiswa wants this, and it will happen. I'm not gonna disappoint her." She says. "No, but she's right. I don't want to introduce you now, then in a week you change your mind on us." Andiswa says. "You have nothing to worry about." Kea assures her then I shrug my shoulders. "Let's do this then." I say. I put my hand on Bayanda's lower back and we all get inside the house.

"I thought you all changed your minds and ran away." My dad says when we appear in the dining room. I laugh then shake my head. "Nah." I say. He greets Bayanda and hugs her and shakes Kea's hand. He looked at her for a while. "Uncle Banele." Andiswa calls him making him take his eyes off her. I just chuckle then take Bayanda to her seat and we sit down. "Take a seat." My dad says then goes and sits on his seat. "Where's mama?" Andiswa asks my dad. "She'll be down in a second." He says. "Bayanda how are you my child?" He asks smiling at her.

"I'm good Tata. I guess we just all glad Sims finally did what we all wanted." She says then he nods his head. "I wish her mom was around to see this, but I know she's smiling wherever she is." He says then Bayanda nods her head and holds my hand. "Yah anyways." I say changing the topic. We really aren't here to talk about me and my life. Aunt Khanyi comes down in a beautiful body hugging grey dress. I just look at her as she walks towards us. Damn. She sits down then looks at Bayanda then moves her gaze to Kea. "Andiswa's mom." She says stretching her hand to her. "Kea." She says shaking her head.

"Nice to finally meet you." She says. "Likewise." Kea says then she moves her gaze back to Bayanda. "And you must be the infamous Bayanda." She says with a smile. That smile is killing me. I don't know if it's genuine or fake, but it's convincing. Bayanda smiles with a nod. "Well, I hope you make the same impression you made on her mom on me." She says. "I hope so too." Bayanda says.

Andiswa pours Kea a glass of whiskey and for me and my dad, then I do the same for her, aunt Khanyi and Bayanda, but they were having champagne. The eye contact aunt Khanyi and I were on as I passed her her glass was crazy. Almost feels like we are the only ones sitting here. I eventually look away. "Okay. Let's grab our glasses." I say taking mine. "To a good night." I say then we toast. I don't know what aunt Khanyi is on, but nahhh. She's really tryna play me. I know you have to look a person in the eyes when making a toast, but she isn't just looking at me, her look is seductive and it's effective. I'm fighting with myself right now.

"So Kea. Tell me about yourself." My dad says cutting me from my thoughts. "Well, I'm Kea. Surname is Mokoena. I was born in Gauteng, and home is here, but I'm also from North West. I'm Tswana, raised by both my parents. I'm currently on my third year in university studying Computer Engineering and yeah." She says then I nod my head. Yeah she came prepared. I look at Andiswa and see her smile. "How many relationships have you been in?" My dad asks. "Well this would be my second serious relationship." She says. "How many were unserious?" He asks then I look at him. "Tata no." I say then he looks at me with warning eyes then I just stay quiet.
