"Talk bitch," Gundo said as soon as I sat down. "Can we get something to eat?" I laughed. Today was Saturday and the cafe wasn't packed. That's a first.
"I also want food," Bonolo said. "I'll go get us some food. On me," I said. "I'll let this slide. Well, only because you're buying me food," Gundo sad and we laughed.
I took three sandwiches and drinks and went to stand in the queue. "Can we talk?" Mayra asked behind me. "I'm listening," I say without turning around.
"It's about Nokulunga," she says. I pictured Mayra eating her out and shook my head. "What about her?" I ask. "She wasn't feeling okay. She needed head," she said. "And at the party? She still wasn't feeling okay? Is that why you were so cozy with her?" I snap but keeping my voice low.
"Look at me," she said. I turned around to see her eyes watery. "Don't cry, baby," I say and hug her. "I'm sorry, Maya. You didn't deserve that. It'll never happen again," she said. "Lemme pay for this food and take it to Nolo and Gundo. Then we'll talk, okay?" I say to her and she nods.
I pay for the food and walk to Gundo and Bonolo with Mayra. "I'll be back in 10," I say and they nod.
I take Mayra's hand and lead us out of the cafe. We walked down to a bench outside and sat on it. "Do you still feel something for her?" I ask. She doesn't look at me and she nods.
That kinda hurts. "It's okay, Mayra. I can't expect you not to feel anything for her. You once loved her and who am I to judge you?" I say.
"Take all the time that you need to heal. I'll always be here for you as your friend," I say to her and hug her. "You're a good person," she tells me. 'No, I'm not. I fucked your best friend yesterday,' I say to myself. I gave her one more hug and we parted ways.
"What was that all about?" Gundo asked me. "She still loves her ex. And she called me her girl yesterday. It kinda hurts. Haha," I say with my voice breaking.
"Who do you like?" Bonolo asks. "I don't know. I feel something for everyone," I say. "Who's everyone?" she asks.
"Lesego, Mayra, Mpumi, Fortune, Ora and Jabu," I say. "That's a lot," Gundo says and Bonolo hits her arm. "What should I do?" I ask. "Fuck Ntebatse again," Bonolo says.
"That's the only sensible thing you've said all year," Gundo says. "Why thank you ma'am," Bonolo laughs. She's so funny.
"Let's go out tonight," I suggest. "Where?" Gundo asks. "We'll Uber to some club," Bonolo says. "Meet at 18:00 in my dorm," Gundo asks and me and Nolo nod.
We eat our food and I tell them exactly how everything went down last night. I just skipped the whole Ntebatse telling me about Mpumi's past love life. I still need to speak to her.
"Guys, I need to talk to Mpumi," I say and get up. "About what?" Bonolo asks me. "See you guys later," I say and walk away.
I knock on the door and Mpumi opens. She doesn't look okay. "Are you fine?" I ask her. "I'm hungover," she tells me. "We need to talk," I say and she motions for me to come in. Fortune isn't here. Great.
"I know that you like me and that you're scared. It's okay, Mpumi. I don't know what happened in your previous relationships and I'm not one to judge. I'll always be here for you and I want you to know that I like you too," I say.
She looks at me and we lock eyes. "No matter what happens between us, I'll always love you, okay?" I add. She nods and smiles at me.
She moves closer to me and hugs me. Her hugs are warm and I'd be lying if i said that I didn't miss them. She gives really nice hugs.
"I'll see you around," I say to her and head for the door. "Wait," she says. I turn around and she walks towards me. She presses her lips against mine.
Her tongue slips into my mouth and she cups my face. I move my hands to cup her face and we deepen the kiss. "I want you to know that you even if I fuck around, I'll always feel something for you," she said.
"I'm sorry for fucking Ntebatse," I say. "I'm sorry for fingering Lea," she says. "When was this?" I ask. "Sometime before we fucked last week," she says. "Don't worry. It's okay," I say.
She gives me one passionate kiss and I leave. Why am I not bothered by the fact that she got busy with Leago?
