I open my eyes, and Kea is sleeping on his stomach. Time to wake him up, I climb on top of his back and lay there, he moves around slightly and breaths heavily as he rolls over on top of me. I can't breathe. I can hear him giggling.
"Breath" I utter.
He rolls and looks at me trying to catch my breath.
"Good Morning" he says.
"Morning" I say.
He kisses my forehead, "How'd you sleep?" he asks with a smirk. Boy you know we didn't sleep at all, "I slept fine" I say, he starts chuckling. He rolls out of bed and heads to the bathroom. I look at his phone and its 11am. He walks back in, with me holding his phone, "Shiii you think I'm cheating, that was quick" he says.
"No, I was looking at the time" I say.
"It's cool you can go through my phone" he says and starts walking to the balcony.
"Babe I don't think you are cheating; I was just looking at the time" I say. He chuckles as he walks out. I have never had a single thought that he would ever cheat, because he has never given me any reason to think that. Even after he went AWOL, the thought of him, cheating was never there. BUUUTTT, He did say, I can go through his phone. I mean what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't go through his phone? Its only right, that I do. Alright let's see. Wallpaper is still the same, gotta change this. That's much better, me as his wallpaper, it is only right. Whatsapp, I browse through his contacts all the way to the bottom. Damn I guess he wasn't lying when he said he doesn't talk to his dad. Does he have siblings? I mean he must have a brother or sister at least. I go through his texts with 'brothers' nothing out of the ordinary. I put his phone down and walk to the balcony, I slide it open and he looks back at me.
"Hey, big boy" I say.
He looks at me, "Did you find my hoes?"
I punch his shoulder, "Don't call women that" he chuckles and hugs me. His body is cold why does he stand out here like this, "Soo I have a question?"
"OK" he replies.
"So why did you break up with Naledi, I mean she really is pretty?" I ask
"Is that how we gonna start our morning, talking about my ex?" he asks
"Nah, just curiosity, I mean she said, 'That I stole 'Her man and what was hers' so what's that all about?" I ask.
He shows an awkward smile, "She said what?"
"That I took her man" I say
He chuckles again, "OK, I don't know where she gets that idea. Reason, I broke up with her, is because Beauty can't make up for Personality. She wanted to be a Slay Queen, I wanted a wife."
"A wife, aren't you a bit to young?" I ask.
He shakes his head, "There's never been a time limit on marriage, it's just that people wanna justify their whoring ways by saying they still young. I'm here for marriage dawg, if you not that's cool. Just tell me now"
"If this is a proposal, I have to give you zero for effort" I say sarcastically, He laughs, "I'm here for marriage as well, matter of fact, I'm not leaving. You took my virginity, so I'm here for life."
He smiles, kisses my forehead, and we head back inside. I head downstairs, while he is in the bathroom brushing his teeth. Wearing his hoodie and my underwear. Crazy enough even in this cold weather his house is always warm, you could walk around shoeless. I walk into the kitchen and start beating some eggs and cooking them along with some Russians. He walks down, shirtless, walks into the kitchen and hugs me from behind.
"What we having?" he asks.
"Me" I say then feed him a piece of Russian followed by a peck on the lips.
"Fuck yeah" he says and I feel his hand pull down my underwear. He takes off my hoodie and turns me around and kisses me, lifts me on the counter. I sink my nails deep as I look at the ceiling and hold him tight.*Knock. Knock* What was that? I'm moaning and he's growling.
"Ekse Don"(Yo Don) says Lucas. He stops.
"What are they doing here?" I whisper.
"I don't know" he says and pulls up his joggers. Shit I'm naked. I put on the Hoodie, "Kea" he looks at me, "I'm naked" I lip sync.
"Go upstairs" he syncs back. I pick up my underwear and start running upstairs.
He opens the door, "Boys Weralang?"(What's going on) he asks.
"Keng o sweata?"(Why you sweating) asks Tips.
"Ah ne ke shapa workout"(I was working out) he says, "Dingtsang?"(Wassup).
"Eh joh re tlele kgo bona game"(We came to watch the game) says Lucas.
"Game?" asks Kea.
"Eh monna ke Champions League today"(It's the Champions League today) says Lucas. "Entleks(Actually) why we not watching it at Mandla's place?" Kea asks.
"Ah mara Don, we agreed my place is too small" says Mandla.
"Madam is using my place for her girl's night" says Tips, "We can't use Lucas' because..."
"Ja no, I understand" says Kea.
"Ejoh Don, its cold can we come in?" asks Lucas.
Kea opens the door and they all walk in, "Mara wena son, ore watonya mara ostwere byala"(You say its cold but you holding Alcohol) says Kea.
"Don't bring my baby into this" says Lucas cradling his bottle and they laugh.
"Madam?"
"Upstairs" says Kea. They nod and sit down, "Let me go give her, her food" he says and walks up with the 2 plates.
