When You're Bound To Love

Chapter 159

SPHO**

Friday morning. I was still tingling from last night. That kiss. As brief as it was, it was effective. I made my way to the shower and came to make the bed. Chris woke up, I bathed him then got him dressed. Chris: "How was dinner mummy?" Me: "It was lovely sweetheart." Chris: "Was he nice?" Me: "Uhm. Yes my angel. Very." Chris: "That's good." I went to make breakfast. Sandile was in the lounge watching TV. He's never up this early. Me: "Hey Sands." He didn't reply. I looked at him. Me: "Sandile?" Sands: "Hm?" He looked at me. Me: "Are you okay?" Sands: "Yeah. I just need to get to work. I'll see you later." He walked out. Me: "Breakfast?!" Sands: "See you later." He yelled from his car. I wonder what's wrong with him. Chris ate his breakfast and my phone rang. Luks. Me: "Good morning." I said formally. Luks: "You're trying so hard to resist." I giggled. Me: "I'm not." Luks: "How did you sleep?" Me: "I slept really well. You?" Luks: "Amazing." "TATA!" Luks: "Please give me a second.. Luhle?" Luhle: "My hair!" Luks: "Where's your brother to help you?" Luhle: "He's in the bathroom, Tata." He came back on the phone. Luks: "Duty calls. Luhle has the most outrageous hair and her brother usually helps. I'll talk to you later okay?" Me: "Okay. No problem." We hung up. Lakhe walked in. Lakhe: "Hey." Me: "Hi." Lakhe: "You okay? You look flushed." Me: "I'm fine." Lakhe: "Where's Sandile? I can't get hold of him. He's been acting really strange. This is usually his disappear time." Me: "Yeah he has been weird. He left here in a rush." Lakhe: "Please talk to him." I nodded. Me: "Will do. How's Nosi?" Lakhe: "Healing. Still not talking though." Me: "I'll come see her later." Lakhe: "Okay. Is it okay if I take Chris this weekend?" Me: "Sure. Yeah. I'll bring his stuff later on." Lakhe: "Perfect. See you later then." Chris: "Bye mummy." Me: "Bye sweetheart. I love you so much okay? Have a great day my angel." Chris: "Oh mama." He left with his dad. I didn't need to be at the office early so I snuggled in bed with my phone and Lam. He was still asleep. I took a video of his feet and hands with music in the background then posted on Instagram story. I hadn't been using this app for a while but my following tripled when the scandals broke out. "So precious." Someone replied. I checked the name. It wasn't even a real name, fourshots_ec. I looked through his profile. It was just quotes. No personal pictures. A fake account probably. It was about time I deleted this app though. I had no use for it honestly. I went to the (i) button and another message came in. "It's Luks." I smiled. "Was about to get yourself blocked." I replied. Him: "Why?" Me: "Your handle is weird." He called right then. What is up with this man and phone calls. Me: "Aren't you busy with hair?" Luks: "We're done. They're off to school. What are you doing?" Me: "in bed with my baby. He's asleep." Luks: "That sounds so perfect. Need company?" I laughed. Me: "No. I don't invite my friends into bed." Luks: "Urgh.. Fine. But I want to see you. I'll bring you breakfast." Me: "I already had breakfast." I could hear him smiling. Luks: "Now I don't know how to entice you. I really do want to see you. I don't know when last I held a baby. I miss having one in the house." Me: "You have a soccer team of kids." I chuckled. Luks: "These agents walk out on me any time they feel like it. They have friends and smartphones. It's a matter of time, they forget who I am." Me: "Awww. Big bad thug can't get his kids' attention?" He laughed long and hard. His laugh sounded like trumpets from heaven. Just magical. Luks: "I can't believe you dipped that low." Me: "Just saying. So now you want to loan my baby?" Luks: "Yes. I can change diapers super fast and I speak Baby." Me: "I'm not sure about the diapers. Can you?" Luks: "My twins used to pee on me all the time. I learnt the hard way." I laughed. Me: "I can see that." Luks: "So? Can I?" Me: "Perhaps next time." Luks: "I'll hold you to that. I hope you know I like you Spho. I don't play games when it comes to people I want." Me: "I actually believe you. But I told you I'm not in the state for a new relationship." Luks: "Problem is that you've been spending too much time with little boys. Now it's time to give real men a chance Spho." Me: "I'm not letting you call my baby father a little boy." Luks: "I wasn't talking about your baby father." Me: "I've been through a lot okay? I just... you wouldn't understand. Or if you did, you'd probably run away too." Luks: "My nervousness must have given you the impression that I'm a coward ne? Don't worry. I'll fix that for you. Today is Friday. What will you be doing?" Me: "Well, Lakhe is taking Chrissie for the weekend so I'll probably be left with Lammy." Luks: "Chrissie is a little girls name." Me: "It is not!" Luks: "You know it is. I want to take you somewhere. Show you my life." Me: "I don't know." Luks: "You don't want the kasi experience? You're hurting me." I laughed. Me: "I have to take care of my baby." Luks: "Bring him. He'll love it. My last born went everywhere with me before he turned 1." Me: "Lam is a special baby. It is imperative I keep him far away from danger." Luks: "I understand. Next time then. Will you be going to work?" Me: "Yes, I'm leaving in an hour." Luks: "Hmm... I'll bring you some lunch." Me: "Every day?" Luks: "Every single day. I'm known for consistency." I smiled. Me: "We'll talk later okay?" Luks: "Alright. Stay beautiful." He hung up. I sighed trying to get rid of this smile. It was almost time to go so I started bathing Lam and getting us ready for work.
