RHULANI
She's sprawled on the bed with the sheets only covering some of the parts of her body. Her legs and arms are on the outside and she silently and peacefully sleeps on my bed with loose her braids also messily spread around. I could get used to this sight in front of me. Having my woman, naked, on the bed and taking up most space. I could easily get used to going to bed each day with her in my arms and as this thought crosses my mind, the evidence of how happy it makes me shows on my lips.
It's the early hours of the morning. I only woke up because I was pressed and needed to use the restroom and I doubt I'll go back to sleep but I want to relax next to her for a while before we both have to get ready for work hut at the same time I dear that if I get too handy with her I might just find myself between her thighs again, now that she's opened up for me, literally, I don't think I can stay away or compose myself like I used to before we went all the way. I wasn't joking when I said that she's mine to keep, in every possible way. And why is all of this giving me a hard on?
I'm about to get back in bed when my phone rings and I quickly reach for it, pressing the side button to silence it before checking for the person who is calling me before the sun even thinks of rising.
It's her father. I take one look at her then I put on my boxers, it's just us in the house and so I'm free to walk out in just that. The call ends before I can answer it, I walk all the way to my study and then I call him back.
"Mabunda," He says with what sounds like a grumpy and snappy tone. I'll humor him only because he is my future father in law, although I'm not sure if that means anything considering that he has no relationship with his daughter.
"Morning, what time do you wake up?"
"Wake up?" he scoffs. "boy, you robbed me off my sleep the day you decided to drop a bomb on me. I don't what what sleep feels like since that time,"
"I'm not sure if you want me to apologize..."
"You're one cocky bastard walking around like you own the world and all that is in it?"
"I never claimed to own the world, sir. The only thing I know for sure that I own is your daughter's heart, Rialivhuwa," I say her name just so there's no confusion. You never know with these things.
He huffs at my declaration. I know he didn't call me to check on me so I'm hoping he will say whatever it is that he is calling for any second now.
" How is she? "This time his tone is calm.
" She's okay, "
" I'm serious, Mabunda. How is she? With all of this? "
" I'm being serious too. She's okay, and if you're asking if she's sure that she wants this too then yes, she is, "
" I want to hear it from her own mouth,"
I could tell her that she's still sleeping but then that will mean I'm telling him she's in my bed and then he will find other words to refer to me as disrespectful.
" You want to talk to her? "
" Well yes, if we're going to do this I can't exactly have no contact with her. I'll have to let my wife know and also acknowledge her as my daughter, there's a way that things have to be done and they can not be done with her hiding behind you, "
" How sure am I that you can be trusted? "
" What? What are you insinuating, boy? "
" Her mother died on your watch, you also never denied knowing about her cause of death, do you really want me to continue? "
