~~ Nakita T. Ncube ~~

Mississauga, Canada.

I only got back from New York yesterday. His funeral was on Thursday and I stayed just to make sure Keem was okay. It breaks my heart to know that Keem is hurting - all my boys are hurting and it's just not fair. They ruled it as a drug overdose. He had sleep apnea so that affected it as well. He had a respiratory arrest. And what did the mob do? They drank lean in his honour. 

I get out of my car, grabbing my purse. I walk up to the front door and knock. It takes a few seconds but the door opens revealing my mother.

"Hi" I say.

"Hi Kita. Come in" she says stepping to the side. My mother and I are great at being civil now. I walk into the hall and remove my shoes. I slip my feet into my adidas sliders.

I walk into the living room, dropping my purse on the drawer. Zani and Vuyo are slumped across one couch whilst my dad is sat on his armchair and Jacob is sat on another chair.

"Hi guys" I say greeting the boys and I get my hi's back.

"Hi daddy" I say as I give him a hug and kiss his cheek.

"Hi princess" he says back. I slump down on the couch between the boys.

"Daddy's little girl" Vuyo says teasing me.

"Yes I'm daddy's little girl. Who are you? Nobody loves your dumb ass"

"I'm pretty sure you do" I kiss my teeth before ruffling his hair.

"Don't touch the hair"

"You're growing it out aren't you? Do you want me to relax it?" I ask.

"Ummm nigga no" he says taking my hand out of his hair. "Can you texturise it?"

"Boy did you just say you wanna texturise your hair? I ain't having my boy having girl hair" my dad says butting in.

"Daddy texturising it doesn't make it straight. Isithembiso." I say.

"It'll look nice tata" Vuyo says.

"As long as you don't look like a girl"

"I'll make sure of it" I say.

"Tete!! You're always last" JJ says as he runs towards me. I open my arms for him and hug him.

"Hi baby"

"It's so cute that Nakita can actually be nice to a child" I roll my eyes as Zani speaks.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I side eye him.

"You've probably never even held Cassie"

"I've held her once or twice."

"You avoid her every chance you can" Jacob says.

"If she spoke and walked I would love her a lot more"

"Wow. Really?" Zani says.

"You act as if I'm heartless"

"You've been heartless since... Forever like how do you do it?" Vuyo says.

"I'm nice. I'm a nice person. Daddy I'm nice right?"

"Yes Kita you're nice" he says completely unconvincingly.

"Wow. And I've been on all your sides for the past 23 years of my life" I say as I stand up. I make my way to the kitchen where all the women are - my mom and TamTam that is.
