When You're Bound To Love

Chapter 70

I arrived at home in a short while, finding Lakhe standing by the door. I got out the car and walked to him. Me: "You okay?" Lakhe: "Yeah. Just feeding the ducks." we went inside the house. Me: "Where's Sandile?" Lakhe: "He went out to his friends for a while he'll be back soon." Me: "He left his car?" Lakhe: "They came to fetch him." Me: "And everyone else?" Lakhe: "My dad went to his golf club with Dumi. Promised to introduce him to a boxing legend who was his friend then Sibu decided to tag along." Me: "And Boogile?" Lakhe: "Pe's playing with the ducks." he chuckles. Me: "Please bring him inside. Then you and I can do a bit of playing too." I kissed his chin. He smiled. Lakhe: "Really baby?" Me: "Bring the pup inside. Then you'll see." he went outside to fetch Boogie who had muddy paws. Great. Now he would need to be washed because this entire house will be filled with mud. Lakhe: "I have to put him in the bath first then feed him so he can sleep." Me: "Okay, but be quick, or I'll start without you." Lakhe: "Yes ma'am." he rushed to the bathroom. I went to the bedroom and undressed, laying on the bed waiting for him. He appeared in 10 minutes flat. Me: "What did you do to my baby Lakhe?" Lakhe: "I dipped in water. Dried him up and he ate. Now he's napping in his dad's room. All exits closed. He's safe." he climbed on the bed and kissed me. Lakhe: "I missed you." Me: "Me too." I took off his t shirt. He put his face on my breasts. Lakhe: "My breast friends.." Me: "Really daddy?" he kissed my lips. Someone knocked on the door. Lakhe: "Who the f.... What!!" Sands: "Hey! You're home. I'm back." Lakhe: "Okay." he kissed me again. Sands: "Uhm.. Aren't you gonna open? Its kind of lonely out here. I have no one to talk to." Lakhe: "Come the fuck on." he breathed. Lakhe: "Sandile I'm kinda busy." Sands: "Oh...I just.....never mind." Me: "Please go to him." Lakhe: "Not again! No!" Me: "Please Masilakhe. My conscience can't take it. I'll reward you tonight. I promise." Lakhe: "No ways, baby." Me: "2 in 10 minutes." Lakhe: "Fine. I'm going. You owe me." Me: "I do sthandwa Sam. I love you. You're so brave and amazing." Lakhe: "Don't try and sell me into liking it. I've already said yes." he wore his t shirt. Lakhe: "and I love you too." he opened the door and walked out to the lounge.

Lakhe: "What's up?" he flopped on the couch. Sands: "I thought you were busy." Lakhe: "I'm married. I'm always busy." Sands: "Eww. You're old. I was gonna call Fez and hang out with him. He always has time for me." Lakhe: "Sandile, what is it with you and this guy? You know he's gay right? I know you, you like to blindfold yourself to reality. So what's the deal there?" Sands: "I'm in love with him bhuti." Lakhe: "Oh!" Sands: "Yeah, I don't know who to tell. It was so weird." Lakhe: "Sandile, what the hell! You're gay now? Since when? Why didn't you tell me? Who else knows?" Sandile stared at him sarcastically. Lakhe: "You fucking idiot. Stop doing that!!" Sands: "Only when it stops being funny." he giggled. Sands: "I'm not gay. He's just my friend." Lakhe: "I never know with you Sandile with your tendencies and experiments." Sands: "Why would I experiment with another human being?" Lakhe: "Fine but does he know that?" Sands: "Know what?" Lakhe: "That you're not interested in him in that way? I've seen the way he looks at you, always taking pictures of you Sandile that kind of behavior is dangerous. Set the record straight." Sands: "Fez is not that kind of person. He knows that we're friends hence he always wants to hang out with me. Besides, Boogile enjoys having him around he made him oats when he was here." Lakhe: "Whether he made the dog oats, corn flakes or instant porridge. Did you let him know his place in your life?" Sands: "Lakhe, I'm not like you. I don't give people positions as if they're my employees." Lakhe: "I don't understand how you've survived this long, shame. I give up." Sands: "You're jealous that you don't have someone take pictures of you." Lakhe: "My wife does that all the time. Key word: WIFE. Not friend because that would be creepy. Dumi has never taken a picture of me neither has Babalo." Sands: "Your friends don't love you like mine do. Sibulele's phone is filled with pictures of me. Because I'm his best friend plus I'm his wallpaper." Lakhe: "Firstly, most of those pictures are selfies that you take with his phone, secondly I saw you change his wallpaper and threaten him not to take it off. You know what, I finally understand, you ARE a Fez. Now it makes sense why you're so attached to him. You needed your own you." Sands: "He had the option of deleting and changing it yet he didn't. Why? I've already said. You, don't have a best friend so you naturally can't understand." Lakhe: "Okay I'm tired of this conversation. Did you do the thing?" Sands: "What thing?" Lakhe: "Do you want me to spell it out?" Sands: "That would be great yes." Lakhe looked at him. Sands: "I'm kidding! You're so serious. Its done. Probably dead or dying." Lakhe: "I don't need probably I need definitely." they whispered. Sands: "Don't worry, it'll be hours before someone finds him, and he'll be gone by then. His car is tangled up in some trees very far away. It looked like an accident. Anyway, I took a further step of retrieving the paperwork. I burnt them. So there's no record of your t shirt and my gun being in forensics or who's blood it was on it. You're safe." Lakhe: "I owe you." Sands: "Yes. Change your wallpaper." Lakhe: "I'm not removing my wife to put you in. You're silly. And what's your obsession with being wallpaper?" Sands: "I'm already on 4 wallpapers. I need 5 to be considered a celebrity." Lakhe stared at him. Lakhe: "Okay. Then change your own. When are these ones coming back?" Sands: "Do you want me to fetch them? I can bother them to come home." Lakhe: "You're a special case." the gate opened. Lakhe: "Here they are. I'm thinking of taking you guys out. We haven't had a family night out." Sands: "Sweet. Are you trying to win browny points from Spho?" he winked. Lakhe: "I'm not having that conversation with you." Sands: "You don't have to. She already told me." he smiled. Sands: "That night when you screamed like a baby..." Lakhe: "She told you that?!!" Sands: "Oh yes." he crossed over his leg. Lakhe: "What business do you have discussing my sex life with my wife Sandile!" Sands: "Wait what?" Lakhe: "What were you talking about?" Sands: "What do you mean sex life? Please don't tell me it's a sex life thing. I'm begging you." Lakhe: "What the hell were you talking about then!!!!" he yelled. Sands: "Why are you yelling!?" Rob: "Masilakhe. Masilakhe. Masilakhe. What is it now? You're like a grizzly bear that has tonsillitis." Lakhe: "Sandile. Talk." Sands: "I'm not saying anything. Otherwise I'm gonna be known as the town gossip and nobody will want to tell me anything." Lakhe: "Sandile I swear-" Sands: "You'll what? Beat me? I'll call her. Spho!!!!" he yelled. Lakhe stormed to his bedroom.
