9. PLAY 2 MUCH

SEGO

20 MINUTES LATER

WE ARRIVE AT SOME BIG HOUSE. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFU, I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO A TRAILER OR DIRTY ROOM. I START TO SAY MY PRAYERS AND THEN LOOK AT ROXXY

ME: (WHISPERS) THEY ARE GONNA KILL US
ROXXY: (SHAKES HEAD) MH MH MH MHH
ME: HUH ?

THE GUYS LOOK AT US AND I LOOK AT THEM

ME: WHAT ?

DOORS START OPENING AND I START SHAKING. WHAT IF THERE IS A ROOM AT THE BACK AND I AM GONNA GET RAPED ? WHAT IF THEY ARE GONNA KILL US. THE GUY HELPS ME OUT

ME: (SHAKES HEAD)

HE LOOKS AT ME

"YOU WANNA BE CARRIED"
ME: I WANNA GO HOME.
"THIS IS YOUR NEW HOME BABY"
ME: AT LEAST GIVE ME MY PHONE.
"NO, NOW MOVE"

I STAND THERE AS THE GUY HOLDS ROXXYS WAIST AND WALKS WITH HER INSIDE THE HOUSE.

ME: I DON'T WANT TO DIE
"I NEVER SAID I WAS KILLING ANYONE"
ME: YOU CAN'T KIDNAP PEOPLE AND THEN THINK WE ARE NOT GONNA PANIC
"ROXXY IS NOT PANICKING THOUGH"
ME: BATHONG? YOU EVEN KNOW HER NAME. YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS DUDE. WHATS MY NAME ?
"(SHAKES HEAD)"

I MOVE TOWARDS HIM

ME: WHATS MY NAME ?

HE PULLS ME BY MY NECK AND CHOKES ME, PINNING ME TO THE WALL.

"YOU'RE MASEGO KHANYI JALI, AGED 27 AND OLDER SISTER TO LESEGO NGUBANE AND YOUNGER SISTER TO TWINS, MOGOMOTSI KWAZI JALI AND MOAGI LWAZI JALI"

I STARE AT HIM

ME: (GASP)
"YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN'T FIND YOU"

MY HEART SKIPS A BEAT.

ME: OH SHIT. ROXXY WASN'T DRUNK TALKING

HE TAKES OFF THE BALACLAVA AND MAN MAN MAN... HE WAS SOO FINE, GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME.

ME: OH SHIT

HE CUTS THE CORD.

RAF: MH.

I SLAP HIM

ME: YOU PLAY TO MUCH, I THOUGHT I WAS DYING TODAY
RAF: (CLUCKLES)
ME: MHH

I SCAN HIS FIT AND WALK AWAY FROM HIM, HEADING INSIDE

RAF

I STARE AT HER AS SHE WALKS AWAY, SHE WORE SOME SEXY SHIRT, WITH A SHORT ASS SKIRT ON AND HAD SNEAKERS ON.

ME: WHY YOU GOTTA TURN ME ON BY DOING THE SIMPLEST OF THINGS.

I WALK INSIDE AND FIND HER EATING PIZZA WITH ROXXY. SHE LOOKS AT ME LIKE SHE WAS READY TO KILL ME, AND AS I LOOK BACK AND SMIRK AT HER, SHE ROLLS HER EYES AT ME, MH.

RO: MH, (WHISPERS) HOW DID IT GO ?

HE LOOKS AT MY CHEEK

RO: (LAUGHS) DAMN, SHE DIDN'T WASTE NO TIME.

THEY LOOK AT US AS ROMEO LAUGHS AT ME. SHE WAS MORE FOCUSED ON HER FOOD, SHE NEVER PLAYED ABOUT WHAT SHE EATS.

ROXXY: OKAY I'M FULL, NOT SEGO THOUGH, SHE'S EATING FOR TWO

WE ALL LOOK AT HER

ROXXY: UHM, ALL HER FOOD IS GOING TO HER ASS AND STOMACH, DUH.

I LOOK AT HER AND THE POSITION SHE LOUNGED ON THE TABLE. ROXXY WAS RIGHT, THAT ASS PHAAAT.

SEGO: UH... (CHUCKLES) THANKS. I GUESS.

SHE GRABS 3 PIZZA SLICES AND ALL THE CHICKEN WINGS AND WALK TOWARDS THE LOUNGE, WHERE THE TV WAS PLAYING.
