I managed to keep it together and pretend for the rest of the evening until it was time to leave. We got home and Yonda headed straight to his place because apparently there was a braai at a friend’s place and I was not in the mood for a crowd. In fact, I asked Miso to come and fetch Kendra. Kendra was in the room on the phone with one of her grandmother’s. Miso walked in… well his cologne gave him away
Him: you really should learn to close the door
Me: and miss you sneaking up on me?
I said sarcastically. It was kind of hot and I forgot to close the bugler when we got in.
Him: are you flirting with me Miss Graham?
I didn’t respond.
Me: can I get you something to eat or drink?
Him: no thanks I’m good. Everything ok?
Me: yeah why wouldn’t it be?
Him: uhhm… owkay. I’ve literally just got here. What’s going on? What have I done now?
Me: so Toby’s wedding was interesting
Him: I wouldn’t expect anything less from a wedding
Me: so Ivy had invited her fiancé and he came a while later. And guess what, her fiancé just happens to be the guy you told me to stay away from because he’s engaged. How long have you known that he was seeing my sister and engaged to be married to her?
Him: I found out that day when Kendra was admitted
Me: and you couldn’t give me a heads up that he’s engaged to my sister
I said shoving his shoulder
Him: it was not my place to tell
Me: isn’t it a little too late for that considering you told me that he was engaged. Don’t you think that too was never your news to tell?
Him: I’m sorry buttercup
Me: I’ve had it up to here with apologies.
Him: to be fair I warned you against him Buttercup from the get go
Me: I’ll go call Kendra
He held my arm before I could walk away.
Him: you see this right here; this is your problem Yolanda. You can’t the handle the truth. You always running away from it and I pray to God that our daughter doesn’t turn out like you
Me: excuse me
He let go of my hand
Him: you know I’m right. Every time something gets serious or you suddenly feel the heat you feel the need to run away. Why do you do that Yolanda? Why is that? When I confessed how I felt about you, you avoided me for days, when I popped the question you started distancing yourself from me. What the hell is wrong with you?
I won’t lie that struck a nerve. That stung real hard and for the first time I saw a side of Miso I was never ready for. He wasn’t pissed or something
