All because of love

SMOKE

Music was loud inside the Range rover driven by Thabo Azania Jacobson and he was listening to a south African hip hop, he loves it a lot. He was driving home to Camps bay, in Cape Town from school. His parents are very rich. His mother and father own few work buildings in Cape Town, Johannesburg and in Durban too then his father is a businessman in construction business in the U.s and his mother is in fashion. she also has a fashion company in America also in France.

They are white English people and Thabo was adopted by them when he was ten years old. He always wondered who might his real parents be and why would they abandon him to white people even though he loved his adoptive parents a lot. His parents were not home a lot so he stayed with his sister Carol who is 20 years old in third year in varsity and he is in second year and his age is 19. He entered the garage of his home. The house cost five million rands, that's how his adoptive parents are rich. He parked the car and got out with his school bags and locked the car doors then he headed inside the house to find his sister cooking and dancing. Carol had head-phones on her when she realized someone was inside, she looked and laughed when she found out it is her brother then she took her head-phones off and greeted, "Hey, brother. How was school today?" "Tiring!" he replied then added by asking, "What you cooking?" "i'm cooking mince-meat with melted cheese and spaghetti, your favorite. it's your birthday,

remember?" she reminded him. "Yeah, yeah and you know i hate it when it's my birthday. i mean, dad bought me an apartment close to school and mom bought me painting equipments so that i can make a studio for myself at the house." He complained. "Then why are you complaining?" Carol asked then he said, "i want to work for myself, you know? i want to hustle like other students at school." "Don't let what your school-mates said about you to get to you. i hate the racial card but somehow it always comes up, so please don't let them get to you." she said and they both hugged and Carol continued to cook while Thabo went up-stairs to place his bags. Thabo is gay and his parents and his sister also friends have been supportive with his sexuality. His school-mates got used to it as time went by.

He changed to a white vest and a black skinny, torn jean and black all-stars. He took his phone and took a selfie then uploaded it on Twitter and Facebook with a same caption written "First birthday picture, fam!" then he went down-stairs and found Carol placing plates on the dinner table. "Come let's have supper and later go have fun at the club." Carol said when they sat on the table and first prayed for food and started digging in. "so, are you going to look for a boyfriend tonight?" Carol asked then he laughed and said, "i told you that i'm not in the right time in dating selfish guys." "Let's hope the one you'll meet won't be selfish at all." They laughed and when they were done eating, they left dishes at the sink and went to Carol's red Porsche and went out the garage then drove to the already packed night-club around Camps bay. They got in and met with friends in neighborhood and it seemed that Carol had planned more surprises when a cake with champagnes aside that had fire-works on the lid of the bottles brought by waitresses arrived. Friends were singing happy birthday song and he really

liked the happiness around him, he looked at his smiling sister and went to kiss her and blew candles on the cake then that was how the party started. They drank and danced until Thabo found himself dancing with a black guy and the guy shouted in Thabo's ear, "i'm Lindani!" the music was loud but Thabo heard him then he replied, "i'm Thabo!" "Can we go outside?" Lindani asked then Thabo held his hand and they went outside and across the road, near the beach and took a walk there. "so, i've been stalking you." Lindani confessed then Thabo laughed and said, "Wow! i hope you not a serial killer." said Thabo and Lindani laughed and stopped him from walking and looked into Thabo's eyes and said, "i like you and i want us to be a couple." Thabo blushed then Lindani held his face and leaned closer and he kissed him passionately then broke it to see Thabo's reaction and Thabo was smiling then they took a walk to the beach with shoes on their hands. Thabo asked, "Do you smoke weed?" then Lindani laughed and said, "i thought you'd never ask. Yes, babe." Then Thabo took out a joint and light it and they both shared the same smoke.
