I stupidly fell for a serial killer

CHAPTER 15

After a few months, the case came to an end, and Vuyolwethu together with his gang members that chased me out of the hotel got sentenced. Well I had gone to KZN earlier because I knew the case was tight and there was no way he could’ve escaped liability. Joyce and her mother wanted to reward me with money for putting Vuyolwethu behind bars but I couldn’t accept money for doing my job. I just told them to donate to my station so that the captain can extend it. Well they did donate and the captain was very happy about that.

I met up with Nkonzo’s parents. They came to his house. His mother was accompanying his father for a business conference. They are very nice people but I was shocked to find out that he was married before and even have a child with his ex-wife. Things didn’t work out between them because he was always busy with his work and he missed most important days. She took full custody just to spite him and only allows him to see his child three times a year.

I really wonder why Nkonzo never mentioned this but I guess it’s because our relationship is still new. His parents were happy to meet me. Even though his mother was a bit skeptical about me. After what his ex-wife did, she doesn’t trust other woman. And it makes her angrier that she only gets to see her grandchild once or twice a year. By the time they left, we were best if friends and we even exchanged numbers.

Well my relationship with Nkonzo is still good, but he has his days and he can be controlling at times. If I was weak and drunk in love, I am pretty sure he would’ve controlled everything about me. Kheswa and I kept contact and that drove Nkonzo to the edge. He said he doesn’t understand my friendship with Kheswa. I mean aren’t we supposed to build friendship with our colleagues?

Anyways after throwing a few tantrums about Kheswa, I decided to formally introduce them to each other. I must say they hit it off and now they are like old buddies. This weekend he is coming over and he is finally meeting Nkosi, Black and Rudd, well and Black’s fiancé. She might be crazy but her white ass is engaged to a wonderful man by the name of Trevor. He is an actor, he keeps his private life private. Only a few friends and their families know about the engagement.

I am so glad that it’s Friday. I don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays. If I do, it’s probably because I have a huge case or something along those line. I pack my stuff and head out. I get into my car and drive to the airport. I am fetching Kheswa. I am lucky that he has already landed. I don’t really like waiting. I get to the airport and meet up with him. We share a hug and he asks that we pass by an eatery so that we can grab a bite. I drive to Chicken Licken.

We get there and order. I pay and then we sit for a while, waiting for our order. Our order gets called and he goes to get it. He comes back to the table and we start eating. Most ladies are giving him the stares. I mean he is handsome and buffy so I am not really shocked.

Me: “you ever think of getting back in the dating game?” he chuckles.
Kheswa: “Mayenzeke phuma lapho.” I laugh. He went from calling me celebrity detective to Mayenzeke.
Me: “I mean come on dude. You wanna die single and without an heir? There are so many women out there who are looking for a man like you. Give it a try. What have you got to lose?”
Kheswa: “my virginity.” I burst out laughing and he also laughs. I wasn’t ready for that reply.
Me: “dude you’re killing me.”

Kheswa: “maybe you can hook me up with one of your friends.”
Me: “sorry they are all taken. You have to go to the ocean and fish my dear friend. One is engaged to a celeb and another is in a relationship with Rudd.”
Kheswa: “Rudd as in Special Agent Rudd?” I give him a side smile.
Me: “you know him?”
Kheswa: “who doesn’t know him? I mean he is more famous than you. It’s just that not many have put a name to the face.”

Me: “I am not famous. I just have a record of locking up gangsters but I ain’t famous.” He rolls his eyes.
Kheswa: “if you say so.”
Me: “whatever dude.”
Kheswa: “where are we going tonight?” I squeal and clap my hands.
Me: “we are to Mojo’s carwash and Shisanyama. The vibe there is too much. There are also celebrities and the meat mfethu. Mina I am a meat lover so nje.” He laughs.
Kheswa: “one of the things we have in common.”

After eating, I drive us home. He takes one of the guest bedrooms and says he wants to freshen up. I get to my room and also take a shower. When I am done I get dressed in a baggy t-shirt and a knee length denim short. I head downstairs and go take a cider from the fridge, #partystarter. After a few minutes he also comes to the kitchen. I give him a beer and then we go through his Facebook. Yoh there are so many thirsty ladies out there. He has so many female friend requests. Some even send him nudes.

Me: “dude you’re a feleb.” I say when I see that his profile picture has about 6k likes.
Kheswa: “your gender can be very thirsty sometimes. I am even thinking of quitting Facebook and just open an Instagram account.”
Me: “they will also follow you there.” he groans and covers his face with his hands. “Nice life problems you have there buddy.” He chuckles.

Kheswa: “anyways when is Nkonzo coming?”
Me: “he is not joining us tonight. He is in Maputo and he is coming back tomorrow morning.”
Kheswa: “so any wedding bells?”
Me: “you are too noisy man. You should’ve been a journalist.” He laughs and I also join him.
