Our Parents Pain Came With Love

Chapter 40

THREE YEARS LATER
-MISOKUHLE BESS
I knock on her door and she opens looking super cute with her red hair tied up to the back loosely.
“Hi”
I say and she looks at me confused like any sane person who was not expecting a stranger to rock up at their door
“uhhm hello”
I chuckle, she is really beautiful and it's her first year this year while I am doing my second year.
“so there’s a party this coming Friday, it will be held at the frat house. I’d love it if you would come through”
I say holding out a flyer to her with my most charming smile, she looks at me
“before you say no please think carefully of your no and consider the following. If you get bored I’ll bring you back, if you need to go to the loo I’ll go with you and if ever you need anything I will be there to cater to your every need”
I say quickly before she responds and she looks at me and then at the flyer on my hand, it's nothing fancy either than an invitation to a party that we host every year to welcome new students in our block or rather for me it's an excuse to get to know her
“I’m sorry but I don’t drink let alone party”
She says and I think for a split second on what to say next because really I was not expecting that response from her
“what do you drink and I will make sure it’s available. I will even go and buy it for you if they don’t have it”
I say making puppy eyes with hopes to win her over
“why are you acting nice Mr Rugby captain”
She says and honestly I am shocked that she knows that, so this means she has noticed me around campus
“so you know me?”
I say with a smug
“I normally watch you guys play when I don’t have anything better to do”
She says rolling her eyes making me scoff
“and?”
I ask with my arms folded showing my interest in this conversation
“you good”
She says coldly making me chuckle
“of cause I am. The name is Misokuhle and what’s the beautiful lady’s name?”
I ask with a raised
“Yolanda”
She says and I smile, atleast I get a name from her
“pretty name for a pretty girl”
I say and she looks at me bored
“does it ever work?”
She asks, I look at her confused
“what?”
I ask her and she shrugs
“the line you just used on me? how many girls have you gotten in your bed with it?”
I chuckle
“you would be surprised what status and good looks can get you”
I say cockishly
“Yeah… I’ll pass”
She says holding the door about to close it but I put my foot forward blocking her attempt
“Yolanda look, if I wanted to get you into bed trust me I would have already but you wouldn’t be able to handle a nigga like me. I’m only here because my friend is too chicken to come to you himself”
Yes it's a lie, I want her at the party but it's probably the only way it's going to work
“my number is on there should you decide to live a little”
I say and then I walk away from her door, if there is one thing I have learnt in varsity it is that girls like the attention of an arrogant cocky guy and if I play my cards right then I might just get her right where I want her. I return to our flat and then walk in
“And did you win?”
Michael asks and I chuckle sitting beside him
“Patience my friend, I’ll get her one way or the other”
I say and he laughs
“You are an ass”
He says and I laugh
“not at all, aint like there's anything going on between Michelle and I”
I explain and he shrugs
“I’m not saying anything bro. Lets hope all this won't backfire”
He says and just then we hear the door open and soon Mia comes to view
“boys”
She says and it hits me then and there
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
She asks and I chuckle
“because I need you”
I say and she looks at me confused
“there's this girl that recently moved in a while back, she lives a floor down from ours and he wants to get with her”
MJ says and I roll my eyes annoyed
“We get it she’s your sister but dude you don’t have to tell her everything”
I say and he shrugs
“Nope!”
She says quickly and I look at her
“Mia come on, you have to help me out here”
I say
“No! Why?”
She complains
“Because she’s pretty and she’s playing hard to get. Not forgetting that I’m interested”
I say and she rolls her eyes at me and growls annoyed
“Miso I cannot keep befriending girls for you to tap”
She says and I laugh
“Don’t be dramatic! You’ve only ever had to befriend one, the rest befriend you all on their own and they understand the deal between myself and them”
I say in defence and she shoots me a look, I shrug and her brother laughs
“So what's with this? You wanna smash and pass or?”
She asks
“honestly I think i’m interested in this one. There's something different about her”
I say honestly and they laugh out hysterically until they notice how serious I am. I wouldn’t consider myself a player because I make my intentions clear from the go as to what king of relationship I want and some of the girls tend to want exactly the same thing and honestly the relationships tend to last longer until they start catching feels. There's probably one person who has stayed long enough in this thing of ours and that is Michelle who is friends with Mia.
“Ok fine. I will see what I can do and then get back to you”
she says and I jump on her on the couch she is sitting on and hug her kissing her all over her face
“Thank you baby sis”
I say, yes Mia is not my biological sister but she is like a sister to me and she treats me like a big brother. Our parents made it a point that we grow up as siblings hence our relationship is not weird at all and we don’t look at each other some type of way. I am doing my second year in Land Surveying just as my grandmother did with hopes to be as good as she once was and so far it has been great and I enjoy it. I share the apartment with MJ and we good housemates since we know each other the way we do.
I am happy to say that whatever needed to be sorted out with Eric Conway, uncle Austin sorted it out. I never really got the details of how everything happened but all I know is that he was never a problem. Elaina moved in with Kyle 2 years ago and is now doing her final year in high school. Kyle married Clark and Yanga works for dad’s company and things have never been better I guess. He and Mercy are still pushing and as for Mercy she is in an arts school and is enjoying it. Aya also completed her studies and is now furthering her studies, she is still dating Click and she still doesn’t know that her boyfriend is part of the $pritz.
