The Giant and His Heart. [Light at the end of the tunnel]

Chapter 9 - "His Woman"

I was powerless people. I was at his mercy. He kept running his nose all over my neck...breathing me in and sniffing me. I don't know why this was turning me on but it was. What he was doing, felt so good, but it was also embarrassing since there was an audience...so they were hearing all the breathy moans that were coming out of my mouth. Oh my gosh!
Xolile: "Okay people, lets give them some space and move out." He said clapping his hands. Thank God for Xolile because it didn't seem like the giant was going to stop what he was doing anytime soon. His body was still shaking...badly...and he was still breathing heavily. He had to stop what he was doing because I needed to focus and ask him what caused this breakdown of his. I mean he can't act like a madman just because I disappeared for like 10 minutes. What did he think happened to me? I mean why would he think anything would happen to me at a braai? There were a lot of questions running through my mind. The giant was really a mystery people.
Me: "Um...I...think you should...stop now." I said in a breathy voice. He just grunted and didn't stop..."um...Zano...please." I begged. I didn't know if I was begging him to stop or to continue. My mind was practically in a haze of being aroused. Hey you can't blame me guys, it felt amazing! My body was even humming, and you guys know how my body gets when the giant is present, so you could just imagine what I was going through. He finally stopped what he was doing but he didn't remove his nose from my neck. He just stayed there not moving, just simply breathing me in. Oh my gosh! This was weird right? Even a little creepy right? Then why were my insides melting into goo? I was really sick people. I really needed to be checked out. Then he did something so out of character for him; he started to pamper my neck with kisses...soft kisses. Oh my gosh! He was going to make me cry people! I don't know but I found this action sweet. So sweet. I mean the giant was a hard and cold person, so for him to be kissing my neck like it was gold was so sweet in my books. After pampering my neck with these sweet kisses, he lifted his head and looked at me. I held my breath, because what I saw in his eyes would forever haunt me. His eyes no longer had this blank or cold look, instead they were now filled with vulnerability, misery and pain all wrapped into one. So much pain. Oh my gosh! Who had hurt the giant? The pain that I was seeing in his eyes was hurting my heart.
Zano: "You...okay?" He asked gruffly. I nodded stupidly, because I was still speechless from what I was seeing in his eyes. A squeal erupted from my mouth when he suddenly lifted me off my feet and went to sit me down on the couch. Oh my gosh! The giant lifted me up like it was nothing! Lifted me up and carried me with my weight and all. He took the shoes that I was still holding out of my hands. He squatted in front of me and he put the shoes on my feet for me. That action too melted my insides even more. Nobody has ever been this sweet to me before. The way the giant was acting, it told me that things were about to change drastically. I don't know if the change was going to be a good one or a bad one.

The sliding door separating the backyard outside and the inside of the house opened and Xolile entered.
Xolile: "Is it safe to enter?" He asked teasingly. I blushed. The giant stood up and growled. Xolile laughed..."chill your pants. I was just teasing you." He said giving the giant a smirk.
Zano: "We're leaving." He stated. His voice was back to being cold and hard. The giant I knew was back.
Xolile: "Oh come on Z man. You don't have to do that, the party is still on. Even though you ruined my living room." He pointed out. The floor was a real mess. I blushed even more. I was embarrassed since the giant did all this mess because of me. The giant grunted.
Zano: "I'll clean up, then we're leaving." He stated. Xolile rolled his eyes.
Xolile: "You're no fun at all my friend." He told him..."let me go get the brooms...and..." he trailed off looking at the mess and stretched his head..."and whatever." He muttered. He went towards the direction of the kitchen. When the giant started picking up the broken pieces of the plates and glasses on the floor, I stood up preparing myself to help.
Zano: "Sit down woman." He ordered.
Me: "I want to help."
Zano: "No." He denied me in a hard voice. I sighed. The giant was really back to his old self.
Me: "Zano-."
Zano: "Sit the fuck down woman and shut up!" He barked angrily at me. I flinched back and sat down. I was hurt. Where was the man who was sweet 2 minutes ago? Damn giant! Xolile came back after a few minutes with everything they needed to clean up the mess with. Against the giant's orders, Xolile helped him clean up. Phozisa, Xolile's girlfriend, entered the living area carrying a plate filled with food for me. I was so embarrassed by the whole situation. Now I was sure that the women here hated me more than they did before, since the giant had made them all cry, all because of me. Phozisa though was all smiles. She was nice. She even sat next to me on the couch and tried to make conversation. I really sucked when it came to socializing with a stranger, which made me to become all awkward and shit. I guess the giant and I were the same in that sense.
Phozisa: "So how long have you guys been dating?" She asked curiously in a low voice. I choked on the food that I was busy chewing which made me go into a coughing fit. The giant stopped what he was doing and growled at Phozisa.
Zano: "What did you say to her woman?" He asked angrily.
Phozisa: "Um...nothing...I-."
Zano: "Leave her the fuck alone okay?" Oh my gosh! He was crazy! I couldn't even tell him that because I was still in a coughing fit.
Xolile: "Hey asshole, leave my woman alone okay? Or we will have problems." He threatened. His voice was hard. Oh my gosh! This was the first time I've heard him talk like that. His voice had always been easy going and friendly.
Zano: "Then tell your woman to leave my woman the fuck alone, or we will definitely have problems." He said in this very cold and dangerous voice. Oh my gosh! Don't tell me they were going to fight just because I choked?! This was really not my night!
Xolile: "You're a real asshole you know that?" He told him. His voice wasn't hard anymore but I could hear that he was irritated with the giant..."baby please go get Busi a glass of water." He told his girlfriend softly.
Phozisa: "Okay." She agreed in a small voice and left for the kitchen in a hurry. I was having a handle on my coughing fit so I was able to glare at the giant. He is so rude and ill tempered! He was glaring back at me. I bared my teeth. I won't even entertain the fact that he called me his woman. No...sorry. Phozisa came back with a glass of water in her hand. The giant grabbed the glass from her and Phozisa gasped out terrified and stepped back. People tell me how to deal with this man please! He brought the glass of water to me, and when I tried to take the glass from him, he denied me. I glared at him. He ignored me and squatted in front of me and he brought the glass to my lips. I guess he was going to help me drink the water. I rolled my eyes at him and drank. He was being sweet again, but since I was annoyed and irritated with him, I wasn't going to acknowledge his sweetness.
Zano: "Better?" He asked when I finished drinking the water.
Me: "Yes." I said scratchily. I cleared my throat. He grunted unsatisfied.
Zano: "Stay put, I'm almost done, then we can leave." He ordered. I just nodded..."and don't talk to that woman." He said pointing his finger at Phozisa. Phozisa's eyes widened with terror. Oh my gosh! Why did I have to be stuck with a crazy?! The Lord was punishing me I swear. Xolile laughed.
Xolile: "Fuck! The way I hate you sometimes." He told him..."if you weren't my best friend, I would've punched you already."
Zano: "I would've liked to see you try." He grunted. Xolile rolled his eyes.
Xolile: "Baby go back to the party outside and don't mind this miserable fucker here. He's all bark with no teeth." He told his girlfriend. The giant snorted loudly. Phozisa left. I don't think she and I were going to be friends anytime soon, all thanks to the giant. Bastard!
Me: "You didn't have to be rude." I told the giant. He grunted. He was still squatting in front of me..."now she won't want to be friends with me, all because of you." I poked his chest.
Zano: "You don't need friends, you have me." He stated strongly.
Me: "That is crazy talk!" I exclaimed. Xolile laughed. The giant growled at him..."of course I need friends. And I already have 2 of them for your information." I informed him. He grunted.
Zano: "I know. Andy Stefane and Fiona Ngubo." He told me. My mouth hanged open. How did he know their full names?
Me: "How do you know their full names? I never told you." Xolile snorted this time.
Xolile: "Busted!"
Zano: "Shut up!"
Me: "How do you know their full names Zanoxolo?" I asked him again. I was a little freaked out. He just shook his head and stood on his feet and went back to cleaning. Xolile winked at me and also went back to cleaning. Oh my gosh! So the giant can find the location of anyone he wanted to find, and now he can also find out the names of people and the names of who those people associated themselves with. Who was this guy really? I was a little freaked out. Were my friends in danger? Of him? Nah...I didn't think so. The giant wouldn't hurt them. He had no reason to but I wondered what else he knew about me. I breathed. I really had to go and save a person like him that night, didn't I? I sighed.
