When You're Bound To Love

Chapter 105

SPHO**

I woke up again a little after 6 in the morning. Me: "Baby." he opened his eyes. Lakhe: "Yeah." Me: "Tried waking you up." Lakhe: "I was knocked out. Must have been really tired. What's up?" he yawned. Me: "You know how my father is Komander right." I whispered. Lakhe: "Oh oh....what did I do?" Me: "Nothing. We haven't spoken in a while, me and you. Haven't caught up on our lives and a lot happened in mine. I want to know about yours too." Lakhe: "You're right. You start." Me: "Well, I found out that I have powers, which was kinda weird. Until I did something." Lakhe: "I kind of figured you were special. Ever since I met you-" Me: "Stop that. This is serious." he chuckled. Lakhe: "Come on. How many guys get to use that line and actually mean it? Anyway, carry on." Me: "Well, Koman- my dad asked me to keep Babalo safe. He instructed me on how to secure his life while asleep and I did that. Last night after we'd all gone to sleep, I woke up and went out the passage. I found Sibu trying to open the door." Lakhe: "Why?" Me: "He is ordered by grandpa to kill Babalo. So I broke his hand." Lakhe: "What!!!" Me: "He'll be fine." Lakhe: "How did you break a grown man's hand Spho?" Me: "I uhm...kind of twisted it........with my mind." Lakhe: "No. This is no time for games. What did you do!" Me: "I just pictured it and it happened Lakhe. I was angry. I couldn't control mysel-" Lakhe: "Is this the sort of thing I must expect now? You'll just think of stabbing me and knives will fly in my direction?" Me: "Don't be ridiculous. Nothing of that sort. I'm not a witch." Lakhe: "What's the difference?" I was a bit offended by that. Me: "I just have special powers okay? That's all." I sat up trying to get out of bed. Lakhe: "Baby..." he held my arm. Me: "Let go of me." Lakhe: "I didn't mean that. I'm just a little freaked out. This was not how I expected our life to turn out. I just wanted to marry a gorgeous lady, get her pregnant, fall deeper in love with her everyday, then we divorce when we are 60. I'll be a billionaire, and she'll be a billionaire. I get myself a hot young flame and she gets her a Ben 10. A few weeks down the line I realize this flame is burnt out and I miss my intellectual half, so I drive to my ex's mansion, then I make up a sad story to get her to listen to me. While she's still listening, I fuck her, hard and we fall back in love. Then get married for the second time and travel the world together. That's how I imagined our life." Me: "This is creepy because this is actually your parents love story, except you skipped the part where we move into our son's house." Lakhe: "Chris would kick us out on day 2. I don't trust him. Plus I'm hoping this story becomes a reality for them because I cannot stand living with my parents anymore." Me: "Uhm...and your uncle in law." Lakhe: "Dear Lord, is another one of your uncles coming? I think we should charge rent baby. Do they have any idea how much this house maintenance costs? Don't get me started on that water and electricity bill, it gives me a migraine." Me: "how much is it?" Lakhe: "its R84 000." I gasped in horror. Me: "How did you let that happen?!!" Lakhe: "Me? I only shower twice a day for like 5 minutes each session. The entire house is rigged with electric gadgets. Plus they do laundry everyday for the whole week. We have so many people, they have their own day of laundry and three of them share days. The pools are always heated. There's the kitchen, the playroom, the bar, the computer room that's always on, those aircons all over the house and that damn lounge." Me: "I'm getting your migraine." Lakhe: "You think 10k a month is okay?" Me: "You're gonna charge your family rent?! No!" Lakhe: "Do you know how much I spend on groceries?" Me: "No and I don-" Lakhe: "R17 000. I have to hire a human to do the garden and clean those pools. And another human for the outside facilities, i.e the go kart track and tennis court. Vicky goes on spa treatments with my mother and I don't blame her, this house is gigantic Spho. Its like living in a mall except I see the same faces and I have to talk to them." Me: "Then kick them out." Lakhe: "Baby you're the one with the super powers. How about making a potion to make them disappear." Me: "You know how offensive that is." Lakhe: "I'm sorry." Me: "Talk to them." Lakhe: "At least if they paid for electricity then. I mean I may be rich but come on. My dad makes more money than me and he's living for free. The security system!!! That costs me R25 000. Every month. I am protecting them, feeding them and bathing them." Me: "I hear you honey. Let me know if you need help with the bills okay?" Lakhe: "I'm 3 years away from being a billionaire. That kind of negative talk offends me." Me: "Well, excuse me Mr High pockets. I didn't mean to offend you." he laughed out loud. Lakhe: "High pockets. I want to be mad but I can't wait use that name on my dad." Me: "Its what you do." Lakhe: "I missed you." Me: "Oh and my dad was here last night." Lakhe: "I see you're getting more comfortable calling him dad." Me: "Not to his face though. I just freeze." Lakhe: "What did he want?" Me: "He visited his father." Lakhe: "Lucifer?" Me: "Yeah. Anyway, he revealed that Babalo is dad's brother." Lakhe: "You lie!" Me: "Absolutely true. So we channeled grandma to tell us the truth and she did." Lakhe: "And you didn't wake me up?" Me: "Sibu put you all to sleep. Anyway, it so happens that grandma was a Christian lady. Lucifer, because I'm not about to call him my grandfather, he kidnapped her after they married kept her underground and used her to breed dad. After his birth, she had miscarriages but on the 20th year, with her last pregnancy she regained strength and ran away. She gave birth to Babalo luckily for him he was taken to hospital unluckily for her Lucifer found her and dragged her back to hell. This is when she cursed him." Lakhe: "So Babalo is your uncle?" Me: "Babs my uncle." Lakhe: "My migraine is finally clearing. So does Babalo also have powers?" Me: "Well, I introduced him last night to Komander and he fainted twice." I giggled. Lakhe: "Oh poor thing. I would've peed my pants. Baby, you've heard the stories about Komander. Nobody wants to be near him and rightfully so, you were here when he was fighting with his father. And I hope to God I never experience whatever he did to the people who took Julie. I don't even wanna know. It was bad enough knowing he was a murderer, but knowing he has demons. No." Me: "Anyway, he managed to hypnotize Balo to forget what happened so don't mention-" Lakhe: "I know you're gonna tell Sandile." Me: "He's my best friend. He has to know." Lakhe: "Fine. Only Sandile. But stress it to him not to let anyone else know. I don't want the whole house to panic." Me: "Relax." Lakhe: "Baby..." Me: "I get it. I'll stress it to him." Lakhe: "Good." Me: "Hey you wanna know something even more awkward." Lakhe: "I would've thought we've topped everything off by now." Me: "No, so I wake Babalo up right? And we're in the lounge. He thinks I want him." Lakhe: "I could see the confusion there. If Hlumi came to wake me in the middle of the night, I would definitely think she wants me." Me: "He started telling me I'm in his sex dreams." Lakhe: "uhm..." Me: "Wait.... Then he says, Hlumi knows he finds me attractive AND she likes it AND they talk about it." Lakhe: "Really?" Me: "Uh huh." Lakhe: "You're like a toddler, telling on everyone. Its so cute. And you're right, very awkward and disgusting. What kind of marriage is that? What if she pretends to be you in bed to make him cum? What if she let's him call her by your name? Oh my God." Me: "You just made it worse. I feel like throwing up now." Lakhe: "Do yo think its healthy they do that? I think not. This needs a therapist." Me: "Absolutely not!" Lakhe: "Relax. I'm putting the whole family through it. If we're going to live together, we might need family therapy. I get why Nosi stays at her friends place at times. Get this, on my one on one I'm gonna tell the therapist I don't like the way Babalo looks at my wife and speaks to her then the therapist will ask Babalo on his one on one if he has any residual feelings for any member of this household except his wife then he'll confess and they'll fix it. Its fool proof." Me: "Its not. Talk to him yourself." Lakhe: "You hate it when I do the confronting." Me: "Because you want to use violence." Lakhe: "He is a Komander." Me: "Are you scared?" Lakhe: "Nope. I have my own little weapon right beside me." Me: "Good." Lakhe: "Babe..." Me: "Yes?" Lakhe: "I've been turned on since I woke up and its not getting any better." Me: "I thought you didn't want to hurt the baby." Lakhe: "I haven't had sex in weeks and I am losing my mind. The baby will have to understand. I'll explain myself when he arrives." Me: "I don't think I'm in the mood." Lakhe: "I'll just go ask Hlumi and Babalo to help me then-" Me: "That's just disgusting. Oh and he can't dream about me anymore. Dad commanded him to stop or he'll appear in every dream that involves me." Lakhe: "That is so cruel. I am never telling your dad anything." Me: "Its pretty dope. Back to the matter at hand." I reached down to his organ and found his hand there. Me: "You've been playing with yourself this whole time?" Lakhe: "Playing is a bit harsh. I've been fiddling. Your voice is just something else, woman." Me: "When did you start fiddling?" Lakhe: "When I was talking about the bills." Me: "bills make you horny?" Lakhe: "No. Your mouth does this little O shape when you're surprise and you suck in a little air and it just gets me on immediately." Me: "but-" he kissed me pulling me to him. I wanted him so bad, my pussy was throbbing. He pulled the panty aside and rubbed on my clit, sending my eyes rolling out of place. He slid down and into my hole moaning a little. Lakhe: "so wet..." he whispered. Me: "please take me daddy." he pulled his finger back out and stuck in my mouth to suck. Lakhe: "are you gonna cum for me?" Me: "Yes." Lakhe: "Yes who?" Me: "Yes daddy." he took his hand out my mouth and kissed me. His finger lacing my clit again. My whole body was alive and vibrating. He kissed my neck, while his hand swirled under me. I was already near my first climax and I didn't want him to stop. He entered a finger again and a small puddle of squirt splashed out onto his hand. Lakhe: "oooh.....fuck." he kicked off the blankets. Me: "baby please..." I begged. He opened my legs wide, slipping a finger back in. Me: "Lakhe I need...." another finger slipped in, my butt! Me: "Masilakhe..." the slow rhythm was explosive. Lakhe: "loosen it up baby..... Let go...." Me: "No...." his tongue touched my clit and on that first anti clockwise rotation, I folded. My eyes fluttered and twitched. My thighs shaking uncontrollably. Hard throbs of electricity pumping to one small part, until I let go and splashed his face once, twice and finally cringing to a stilled silence. He looked up over my belly. Lakhe: "I think your water broke." Me: "Don't joke like that!" Lakhe: "as much as I'm not joking, I think I can squeeze a round in. We'll move when there's a contraction ne baby?? Help me." I was still heavily turned on. I lay on my side and he got behind me. Lakhe: "Let me know when it hurts.." he slipped himself inside and I felt him alright. His bulge filled me in immediately and my muscles tightened. Lakhe: "No baby..." Me: "I'm gonna cum." Lakhe: "shit, me too." he stroked in and out, caressing my breast. Me: "baby this is so amazing." a wave of new horny came over me. He pumped in and out some more. Lakhe: "I love you...." he groaned. Me: "don't stop daddy..." while pumping he slipped his hand in front and rubbed on my clit. He kissed my shoulder tenderly. Breathing and stroking deeper. I could feel my climax climbing higher. He went faster. Lakhe: "oooh yeesss...." Me: "I'm cuming baby....don't....stop." I listened the sweet sound of a slow perfect orgasm. As he pumped himself into me. His finger rousing my clitoris. A shed of warmth and complete bliss took over and I climaxed. He held my breast again and pushed himself deep inside and breathed out loud. We stayed there quietly. Me: "You were so amazing." I managed to say. Lakhe: "baby, nothing can compare to you. Pregnancy sex is the best. I cannot believe I missed out on this for so long. I love you. I love our baby. I think I'm feeling emotional now." Me: "Its okay baby. Come here." I hugged him. Lakhe: "I'm hungry." Me: "Okay. My time to get up." I went to the toilet then took a shower right after. I got dressed then made a walk to the kitchen. Only Sandile was up. Me: "hey you." the gate rang. Sands: "Hey." I opened the gate from the door. Me: "Where are your ladies?" Sands: "Still sleeping. I don't know what happened last night, I just dozed off. Or maybe I was tired. I don't know. Anyway is Lakhe still asleep? My bed is too crowded, I need to finish my sleep." Me: "Zintle and Fez shared your bed with you?" Sands: "I know it sounds creepy but we were all fully dressed except Zintle. She was in shorts and I woke up with her thigh on mine. I had to get out of there." Me: "She's single, you're single." Sands: "She's Zingi's friend." Me: "And Fez's friend who has an actual crush on you." Sands: "Fez is my friend. He doesn't care about that." Me: "He kinda does Sandile. He has real feelings for you. You need to let him know how you feel too so that he doesn't reserve himself for someone who won't love him the way he deserves or even be with him." Sands: "Fine." Komander came in. Kom: "Morning." Sands: "Hello." Me: "Hey." Kom: "We need to move fast. Where is Babalo-" speak of the devil. He was hurrying out his room. Me: "Hey. Where you rushing off to?" Balo: "My dad. He had an accident." Kom: "No. He didn't." Balo: "First of all, I don't know who the fuck you think you are. Get out my way!" Kom: "Lakhe will go check on your dad. You can't leave." Balo: "Why not!!" Me: "You said you would trust me Babalo. I have to keep you safe." Balo: "My father could be dying." Kom: "I can assure you, he isn't." Me: "Please Balo?" Balo: "Fine. But Hlumi will go." Kom: "As long as you're in here." Babalo went to his room. Me: "I thought grandfather didn't play dirty." Kom: "He doesn't. This has Sibulele written all over it." Sands: "Everything has Sibulele written all over it. Where is he anyway?" Me: "With his grandpa." Sands: "Urrgh." Me: "I need to tell you something funny but you must promise not to tell." Kom: "Sandile? The worst person you could tell." Sands: "Come on tell me." Me: "Promise first." Sands: "Okay. I promise." Kom: "You can actually show him." Me: "What do you mean?" Kom: "I mean, you can invite him into your memory." Sands: "That is super cool. Do it Spho." Me: "Is it safe?" Kom: "Yes. Hold him." I held Sandile's hands. Kom: "Spho, clear your mind off everything. Take it back to the exact beginning of the memory you want to share. Make sure you don't let go of him until you're done. Sandile, you won't be able to affect anything in this memory bubble although you will feature in it now. Sit still. Eyes closed. Repeat after me Spho." we closed our eyes. Kom: "Aperi oculos internos et vide. Respirare memoriam. Tene momentum et sit."(Open internal eyes and see. Breath a memory. Hold the moment and let it be.) I repeated what he said. We disappeared back to last night. It was a little colder than I remember. This time Sandile was in the lounge, sitting in his usual spot. I started my memory when I'd just fetched Babalo from his room. M E M O R Y: (Balo: "I knew you wanted me. Honestly this playing hard to get, waking me up in the morning game is exciting but I'm so tired. It's been a long day Spho. Can't we schedule in a time so I can perform better?" Me: "I don't want you." Balo: "Then why are we standing in the dark alone? I can be discreet. My dreams always involve you and Hlumi. Shit, I think I just made myse-" Me: "Will you be quiet? Just shut up!" Balo: "We talk about it. Hlumi and I. She knows... Kinda likes it too. Her role play is phenomina-" Kom: "Okay that's disgusting!" Balo: "What the f....." he almost jumped out his skin. Balo: "What are you doing here!" he hissed. Kom: "Did I just ruin your sex dream? Welcome to the rest of your life when every time you dream about my daughter, I will appear. Every. Damn. Time." Balo: "You're fucking serious?" Kom: "Try me." Balo: "Why is he here?" he asked me. Kom: "To invade your dreams." Balo: "I'm not talking to you." Kom: "Clearly. Have you ever heard of Komander?" Balo: "That criminal without a face? Who hasn't? And I don't wanna talk about a psychopath in the middle of the night man. What the hell." Kom: "You're looking at him." Balo: "Man, get the fuck out of here with your lying ass. I don't have time for this. Spho, when you need me-" Me: "He's not lying." Babalo looked at Komander and chuckled. Balo: "This is the time when everyone jumps out of their hiding spot and says 'Sike' right? I'm waiting." Komander took off his scarf and polo neck jersey with vest. Babalo stared at him, petrified. Balo: "Oh hell nah...." he fainted. I sat down and buried my face into a pillow, laughing my lungs out. Wait till Sandile hears this piece. God, I couldn't breath. Kom: "Spho stop laughing. This isn't funny." he kneeled next to his brother. I never really liked the guy. Watching him faint had to be my highlight for the year. But him saying 'oh hell nah.' broke my fucking funny bone. After a long while I finally calmed down and Babalo regained his consciousness. Balo: "What the fuck was that." he stood up again. Kom: "Are you okay?" Balo: "Hell." he fainted again. I fell down with him laughing out loud this time. Kom: "You are such a child. Get up from there and help me wake him." I dragged myself up. Why was I the only one awake in this household in the middle of the night? Kom: "Pull yourself together.") Sandile let go of my hand laughing hysterically rolling on the floor. He screamed his lungs out trying to breath. Robert and Stella came running out their rooms. I was wiping the tears off my face. Kom: "The both of you need help." Rob: "What the hell did you do to my son!!!" Kom: "He is having the time of his life." Rob: "HE. CAN'T. BREATH." Sands: "he fa......twi......God!!!!" he couldn't even finish his sentences. Stella: "what is he saying!!!!" Kom: "Nothing. Sandile, get up." Sands: "Oh hell nah...." he breathed. I dissolved to the floor, cracking up hard. Lakhe: "What is going- You told him, didn't you?" he walked into the lounge. Stella: "Told him what!" Kom: "Worse. She showed him." Lakhe: "You two are kids. Get up." I sat on the couch with Sandile. Sands: "Mntase. I love you. That was the best present I've ever received. You have managed to beat your own record." Me: "I love you too man. Want scrambled eggs?" Sands: "oh hell nah..." we started laughing all over again. Kom: "I'm never showing you two anything ever again. Lakhe, get dressed and pack a lunch. We have work to do." Lakhe: "I thought only at 6." Kom: "I changed my mind. I've too much work to get through. Spho please keep Babalo indoors at all times." Me: "Done." Kom: "And no you can't revisit the memory portal more than once." Sands: "Aww..." Kom: "Stay away from Sibulele as well. He may not be back for a while but don't approach him first." Me: "Okay." Sands: "What's wrong with Sibu?" Me: "He's just not himself." Lakhe went to shower and dress. I went to make breakfast with Sandile still giggling. Sands: "This was the coolest prank of all time, why didn't you wake me up?" Kom: "Your friend put you in an abnormal sleep." Sands: "Who? Sibu?" Kom: "Yes." Sands: "Where are you taking my brother?" Kom: "Do you care?" Sands: "No, he's yours now." Kom: "Just get dressed Sandile. We're leaving in 10." Sands: "Nope." Kom: "I'll buy you food." Sands: "I'll fetch my snacks, PSP and some sun screen. Bye Spho." Me: "Bye Sands." they eventually left the house. You know, Sandile could be the most easiest person to kidnap. All you had to do is lure him with food. Food he left me preparing, by the way.

Komander stopped the car in the middle of the abandoned park. Lakhe: "Why are we here?" Komander hopped out the car followed by Lakhe and Sandile munching on his burger. Kom: "This is my graveyard." Sands: "Tell me you're joking." Kom: "I don't joke." Lakhe: "Why are we in your graveyard?" Kom: "I want you to train my team." Sands: "Your team of ghosts? Man, I knew you were weird but I need you to revisit the idea of me hanging with you ever again." Kom: "What are you? Scared? You were the one wanting to join. Well here's your application form." Lakhe: "You asked for an application form, Sandile? Are you stupid?" Sands: "I was joking. But General Sour Beans over here didn't take the hint." something pushed him against the car. Sands: "What the fuck was that!!!!" Kom: "General Sour Beans' Assistant." Sandile and Lakhe looked at each other. Lakhe: "Sir, we're not experienced in training ghosts." Kom: "And I don't have ghosts. I have humans on a wait list. In need of gun training. Shooting. Reloading. The moment when a singer is singing, their breathing is very important in order to not lose a note or choke. I need that in my shooters. You are their boss now. I want them in tip top shape by Monday morning. Sandile, you teach how to drift. I'm counting on you two to make my team spectacular and obviously undefeated. I want this country shook by the end of the week." he opened his boot and gave them both a large duffel bag. They heard engines roaring closer to their location from a distance. Kom: "Because you know what I'd do to you if it isn't."........
