Chocolate Love

Mysterious guy

The year 2017 had  been a tough yet at exciting one for Tapiwa .She had anticipated  the end of her high school journey  since it began in grade 8. For one she had never stuck at one school long enough  to create long lasting friendships with anyone.

Whatever school she moved to she had to make new friends but for once when she started school at Eaglesvale Christian  School in a  town called Polokwane she felt she  was there to stay. Not the best 4 years of her life but they  weren't  the worst either.

The festivities had come and gone and to say that Tapiwa  was  delighted not  to wake up at  5 am in the  morning to get ready for school was an understatement.

"Tapiwa ,Wake up and come help ypur siblings get ready for school " mom said.

"Arggh!I don't go to school anymore and i dont have kids so why should i?"  i said  getting back under the covers

"If you're  going to talk  back at me you  had better  be audible young lady" "Get up NOW " mom said yelling

I honestly can not deal with this when can i move out of this house and live alone. Jesus this woman  drive me nuts

I got up and  stormed out of the room headed for the kitchen.
God knows those kids will not swallow the food i'm about to make. The evil part of me made a silent evil laugh and i smirked

"Zeki wake up  and take a bath" Ezekiel was her youngest brother and he was an angel at times sometimes not so much.

I shared a room with my sisters but i slept alone because well  two kings couldnt possibly rule one kingdom if you catch my drift *winks*

Then there is Chantel and Naledi
My elder sister and younger sister exactly in the order which you read their names.

Naledi is Tswana(A language spoken in Botswana) for Star

"Nale !Nale wake up !You're  going to be late on your first day" i said

She kept groaning and turning with clearly no intention of waking up.

So  because 'mother dearest' had disturbed my sleep so i could attend  to brats ,well a brat (Zeki wasn't  much of a problem in the morning)
I took  it upon myself to baptise the little girl  that  had me working over time. Then stood by the bed smirking proudly and gave myself an imaginary pat on the back.

"Tapiwa! She called my name angrily looking herself over 

I stifled a laugh" you wouldn't wake up so...Anyway go take a shower its late"

She just glared at me for a good minute then stormed out of the room and into the bathroom

Mind you Naledi is what we call a slow coach .I mean even after laying everything out for her it takes her forever to get dressed, literally

*After about a million years*

The brats are dressed and ready to go to school and the bus picks them up.

I was finally home alone and not going to school then i smiled brightly to myself.

Ohh and Nigel  the first of all five of us is dead asleep because he works  till the wee hours of morning. He's a waiter at this fancy smanshy 5 star hotel.

Even with all this information i still go ahead and disturb his peace.

I step into his room to bother him but he's  sleeping so peacefully and even though i need to annoy the hell out of him he needs his rest because my big brother works so hard.

So i check the time and its 7am in the morning  and because  i don't  possess the super power that other humans probably  have to sleep and re-sleep after your sleep is disturbed,i decide to get my chores done.

I plug my phone into the radio and  the volume is at its highest blaring out Juice  by Ycee ft Maleek Berry

"Too much juice,too much sauce" i sing semi-loudly as i sweep the floor

I finish cleaning the house which  was a hassle by the way but luckily my sister  takes half of the load

By 9 am im done and i fall back on the couch just so i catch my breath a bit

I check my WhatsApp  and respond to the messages i have

Most of my friends are either in college  or university all over the country 

And while its exciting to hear what everyone gets up to,im a bit saddened that i have to wait for the next  year but its whatever.

My phone  rings,so i dance to the ringtone for 5 seconds before  i pick up (i mean i do it almost always)

I pick without checking the caller id

"Hey "a masculine  voice  says from the other end

"Hi "i say mesmerized by this deep voice

"Your voice is just as amazing  as i thought  it'd be" he said making me get lose all sense of self control

"I'm sorry but  i don't  think i know who i am speaking to" i said

I mean his voice is nice  and all but you don't just  pounce on a girl like that

I mean his voice could make me marry him over the phone,time i havent even seen his face

"Well soon enough you'll  know who i am  and  i  bet you'll  love me" he let out a hearty laugh

You can bet that an over confident boy and his hearty laugh had me feeling a way

But he  didn't  have to know that "Who are you and  what do you want ?"i said feigning irritation

"Aren't  you a feisty one" he chuckled

".Always" i said smiling
In as much he was mysterious i suddenly to a liking to  him which wasn't as surprising,I mean what girl doesn't like boys with bedroom eyes and raspy voices?

"So i need to go but I'll  call you again tomorrow beautiful  " he said

"Bu-" i tried to say

"Have a great day" he said

I must say that he got under  my skin and i hated it but enjoyed it at the same time.

Cocky bastard i thought to myself but i couldnt wait till he called the next day. Who wouldn't ?

There was just something  about how mysterious he was that got me interested and intrigued.

The rest of the day flew by because i took  a nap since i had no homework to do or exams  to study for. I could get used to this its refreshing

Being out of highschool was  pure bliss  but at the same time i missed it

I went to bed that night thinking about how charming  the mysterious guy's voice had been .I smiled and silently  swooned
