Zinhle's Pov
I woke up in the middle of the night and felt his hands on me. Why is this man doing this to me? I can't go on like this. I love him so much that I feel like we can still make this work. But the thought of sharing him doesn't sit well with me. How can I share a man with his baby mama? He night says he loves me, but it's been such a long time, and he hadn't gotten over her. What if they had been doing things while he was with me? The thought of it makes me want to cry. Would he be here with me right now if he didn't love me or want to make things work? Maybe it's because I love him and he can see that he could use me however he sees fits.
As for Imani, I am out of words. How can she do that? Going to his workplace without informing me and lying about me. Why would she do that? I hope it's not what I think it is because I won't take it lightly.
Mzamo: buyela ekulaleni (go back to sleep)
He said in his deep voice. I guess he must've felt me move. I ignored him and carried on thinking about my life. I need to go home. Maybe being with my mom will make me feel better.
Mzamo: ungizibelani? (Why are you ignoring me)
Zinhle: cela ungiyeka Mzamo (please leave me alone, Mzamo)
He used his fingertips to draw lines on my body. I tried to move but he just held me and continued.
Mzamo: I'm not used to you calling me by my name
Zinhle: Sure, now leave me alone
Mzamo: You usually use it when you moan
He said and grabbed me by my waist, making me feel all typed of things. My body reacted to that, and he felt it.
Mzamo: You normally call me Phakathwayo
He did it again and then let let go of me. I turned to face him.
Zinhle: Well, things have changed, and stop touching me.
Mzamo: changed for you, not me, I'm still the same Mzamo you fell in love with that will never change.
Zinhle: And I'm still the same Zinhle it took you 2 years to fall in love with
Mzamo: it didn't take me two years, actually
He said, playing with my back.
Mzamo: Remember when we went to the golf court for the first time. You were wearing that short white tennis skirt with a whole golf top and had that long sleeve and sneakers? We wore matching outfits that day. One of the guys there asked me about you while you were playing, and I got defensive and threatened him. That's when I knew I was in love with you. We were already 2 months into the relationship we had, and same night, I took your virginity. That's the day I fell in love with you, but I didn't want to admit it.
This was news to me. I never thought he was in love with me.
Zinhle: You kept quiet for 2 years
Mzamo: I was scared of commitment I was still traumatized by the thought of being played again and that I lost the people that cared for me which are my parents I didn't know how to trust anyone else not that I didn't want you as my girlfriend. Well, actually, to me, you were my girlfriend.
Zinhle: were?
Mzamo: Yeah, you broke up with me. Remember
I looked away. There's that.
Zinhle: Oh
Mzamo: Yeah, let's sleep. I have work in the morning. Can we please sleep
Zinhle: What are you doing here, Mzamo?
