ENEMY LINES

MEETING THE JONES'S

"Hey everybody look who decided to grace us with his prescence today....... Romeo the smooth operator is here family. Hey nephew"

My aunt announces as I walk into her backyard where the whole family is seating and gossiping. Well my mom's family that is. You'd swear the way she's talking I never come to see her at all I was here like 3 months ago. Everyone walks up to me,hugging and asking how I've been while I do the same. Sbu walks up to me,pushing me aside she grabs Angies hand who I had totally forgotten about with all the family chitt chatter.

"Hey beautiful my name is Sbusiso but better known as Sbu,sorry for my cousins lack of manners for forgetting to introduce you but you must be the special woman he's been talking about"

" hi I'm Angie"

"Well nice to meet you Angie,if I wasn't married. I'd give him a run for his money"

She kisses her hand as I smack her occiput. I don't know how her wife deals with her excessive flirting,my cousin is a hopeless flirter (if there is such a word) and her mom calls me a smooth operator. Even Angie is eating it all up,women!

"Get your dirty lips of my woman,she loves this dick!"

"I can change that"

Sbu says winking at Angie as she giggles.

"Sbu is right,I know my sister taught you better. Why don't you introduce us to this beautiful young lady. You never bring any decent woman to meet us,she's a first. Hello young lady I'm his aunt Rose"

"Nice to meet you ma,I'm Angie"

"What do you mean decent women,aunt Rose "

"Sbu remember the last girl he brought over,with her ass cheeks all hanging out. She was wearing a t-shirt with holes in it that showed her breasts,no bra and her shorts were non existent and she kept her hands on his crotch the whole time they were here. I was happy when they left"

"Me too only because my idiot of a wife kept staring at her ass.... hi Angie,I'm Neo, Sbu's wife"

"Nice to meet you Neo"

"Okay let's all stop hovering over the girl. Food is ready"

We all head to the tables where to be seated. I seat with the guys as the ladies prepare plates for us. I can't help but stare at her being all wifey but I can't help think about her confession last night.

LAST NIGHT....

"Romeo.... we need to talk"

"Ohhhhh....that doesn't sound good"

"Please sit down"

"Angie just lay it on me,no need to/"

"Baby please seat before I lose my nerve this is important and I need to talk you before I meet your family"

"......ok I'm all ears"

"I've been keeping a secret from you.... well most people but for the few months I've been with you I've felt that I could trust you and be open with you....I love you,just please don't hate me"

"I'm listening.."

"Well I haven't completely told you who I am...well You just know the basics...my parents death,me being a guardian to my niece.
I haven't told you that I also inherited my brothers businesses.... You might have know my brother Shaun... (I shake my head no)..... oh you might have known him by his stupid alias Mendoza. ......

I definitely know who that is but I don't let her see that I know him or knew him. I decide to play it cool and tell her that I've heard of him. She continues to tell me all about his businesses which she never expected to inherit cause she tought Lorenzo his best friend would inherit everything.

The woman I'm inlove with is the enemy or I am here. Needless to say we're enemies and she doesn't even know it. She's searching for a ghost that she thinks killed her brother and is harrasing her territory. She doesn't know I am that ghost and that's how it will be. I'm not loosing my wife.

NEO (NEH-OH) means gift in Setswana
