FELICIA
"I just have a bad feeling about that Nomcebo girl." He says pacing up and down in this room.
He's still in the clothes that he wore today. He's always been the jeans, T-shirt, takkies and jacket type of man. Always plain and simple, you'll never suspect that he's rich until you see the cars he drives.
But anyway, it's late and I'm tired, man. Can't we talk about this another day?
Itumeleng: "You can't tell me I'm the only one who's suspicious, Phimi."
Felicia: "Maybe you and Zile can be suspicious about her. I'm too tired right now."
He throws my fur shawl in my face.
Felicia: "Itumeleng, what the fuck?"
Itumeleng: "Tsoga."
Are we really going to stay up talking about someone we saw only today?
Felicia: "Itumeleng, I'm too tired to talk about this, can we talk about it tomorrow?"
This man can be annoying sometimes.
Itumeleng: "Tell them we're hosting a braai on Saturday."
This is so unncessary!
Felicia: "The whole family?"
Itumeleng: "No. Just Lesego, Rele and Gontse."
Felicia: "But Relebogile is all the way in Cape Town."
Itumeleng: "He'll make a plan to come here. You know what, tell the whole family to come."
What the hell is wrong with this man?
KGOMOTSO
Does this family always plan things ka di last minute? Because why the heck do they just plan a braai out of nowhere? I even had to buy a new wig and a new sundress because I couldn't see any outfit that would fit the occasion. Especially knowing their fashion sense. The women dress very chic. They have a formal fashion sense. All the men in this family just wear casual. Even Lesego stopped wearing his suits around me. Now I'm in this car with his grumpy mood going to see Felicia.
Lesego: "You know, at some point you're gonna have to move in with me. This thing of constantly fetching you is draining."
Is he asking me or is he telling me? This man has a tendancy of saying things so randomly.
Kgomotso: "I'm not doing a vat n sit."
Lesego: "Oh come on, babe."
Kgomotso: "No."
Lesego: "Usually I don't beg and now you're making me beg." I chuckle a bit.
Kgomotso: "Why is there even a braai again?"
Lesego: "I don't know too."
Yoh.

We're late. I can just see by the fleet of cars that we're the last ones to arrive. And what's up with the taxis? The last time I came here, there were no taxis. I know this family is too rich for taxis so what gives?
Lesego: "I don't know why you wanted us to stop for wine. This house has got more than enough." He says after he finds a spot to park his car.
Kgomotso: "You can't come to a braai empty handed, Lesego."
Lesego: "Yoh."
He leaves the car to open my door.
Lesego: "But did I tell you look beautiful in that dress?"
