Deadly obsession ,Chapter 21
SUKOLUHLEI got discharged from the hospital yesterday, I'm so happy to be home again, and to see my sister Zamo and my best friend! They were so excited to see me
Noma and Zibusiso's friends also came to visit me,It's so nice to know that I have so many people who care about me. Even Zibusiso's mom has been calling to check on me. It means a lot, to know that people are thinking of me and wishing me well.
Zibusiso :"Earth to Suku," he say, snapping his fingers in front of my face. I snapped out of my daze and smiled at him.
"What were you thinking about?" he asks.
Me:"I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have so many people who care about me and love me," I say, gazing at the gifts that Noma, Zamo, Lubanzi and his 's friends had given me.
Zibusiso smirked.
Zibusiso:"Well, don't forget that I care about you more than all of them "
Me:"You know, you can be so competitive," I tease.
He laughed.
Zibusiso : "Competitive? Me? Nah, I'm just stating the facts!" he say, winking.
I roll my eyes playfully.
Me:"Sure, sure. Whatever you say, Mr. Competitive," I say, poking him in the ribs. He squirmed away, laughing.
Zibusiso :"Oh, you're asking for it now!" he say, tickling me in return. We both dissolved into laughter, our previous worries forgotten for the moment.
He stopped tickling me and looked me in the eyes. I stopped laughing and met his gaze.
Me:"What?" I ask. "Don't stare at me like that."
Zibusiso :"I can't help it," . "You're too beautiful not to stare at."
I blush. "
Me:You're just saying that," I say, trying to play it cool. But inside, I was melting.
Zibusiso :"I'm not just saying it, I'm telling the truth," he says looking at me with such intensity that I felt like I was melting into a puddle of goo under Zibusiso's gaze. It was like he could see right into my soul, like he knew exactly what I was thinking. It was both exhilarating and a little bit scary.
"You really are something else," he says, breaking the silence. "You're smart, funny, and brave. I admire you so much."
I was completely stunned by his words.
Me: "You really mean that?" I ask, unable to hide the wonder in my voice.
Zibusiso :"Of course I mean it," he says, looking at me with such sincerity that I had no doubt he was telling the truth. "You're an amazing person, inside and out. I'm so lucky to know you."
I felt a lump in my throat, but I managed to say, Me:"Thank you. That means a lot to me."
He smile.
Zibusiso :"You're welcome. And it's only the truth, after all."
Me:"Still," I say, "it's nice to hear it out loud."
He bring his face close to mine not leaving my eyes.He whisper to my ear "And I love you "that sent tickling feeling to my stomach .We stare at each other
Me:"I love you too Zibu,but ---"he put his finger on my lips sent another wave of tingles through my body. I couldn't speak, even if I wanted to. I could only stare at him, my heart pounding in my chest.
He move his finger away and looked at me with a soft smile.
Zibusiso : "Don't say anything," he says. "Just let me hold you for a moment."
I nodded, and he wrapp his arms around me. I lean into his embrace, breathing in the scent of his skin. It felt like I was home.
Me:"I'm scared," I sayto him. "I've never been in love before, except with my sister. I've never had a boyfriend, and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm afraid I'll mess this up, and I don't want to disappoint you-----"
Before I could finish my sentence, he cut me off.
Zibusiso :"Don't worry about that," he says. "We'll figure it out together. I'll show you how to love me, and I won't be disappointed if you don't get it right away. I'll be patient with you," Zibusiso continues , still holding me. "And I'll be patient with myself, too. We'll figure this out together, one step at a time. We'll take it slow and make sure we both feel comfortable. Okay?"
I nod, feeling a bit calmer.
Me:"Okay," I say. "I trust you. ."
Zibusiso :"Good," he says. "Now, can I ask you a question?"
Me:"Of course," .
Zibusiso :"Do you want to kiss me?"
I nodded, feeling a little giddy. He lifted my head gently so that I was looking at him, and he leaned in, closing the gap between us. I closed my eyes and felt his lips touch mine. It was gentle and soft, and I couldn't help but kiss him back.
When he pulled away, I opened my eyes and saw him smiling at me. I couldn't help but smile back. It felt so natural, so right.
Me"that was nice"I say feeling a little shy
He must have read the desire in my eyes, because he leaned in and kissed me again. This time, the kiss was a little deeper, more passionate. It sent a thrill through my whole body, and I felt butterflies in my stomach. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back, wanting more.
When we finally pulled away, I was breathless. "That was even nicer," I say, my cheeks flushed.
Zibusiso's eyes were sparkling.
Zibusiso :"I agree," he says smiling ."Come on," he says, taking my hand and pulling me up. He led us to the kitchen and helped me sit on the countertop. "Now, I'll make you something to eat,How about some toast?"
Me:"That sounds nice," I say, watching him take out a loaf of bread and a knife.....
**************A COUPLE OF MONTHS*******
I went back to school and everything was going well. I had passed term 2 and 3, and now we are in the revision stage, preparing for our final exams. I am feeling confident about my chances of passing, and I am excited to see what the future held for me. In the meantime, I was just going to keep working hard and doing my best.We've been given a week to stay home and study for ourselves to prepare for the final exams.
After a long day of studying, I decided to take a break and make Zibusiso's lunch to take to the hospital. I showered and put on a short jean skirt, a baggy T-shirt, and my sneakers. I fixed my hair and headed downstairs to get started on lunch.
As I gathered the things, I thought about how much I enjoyed taking care of Zibusiso. He was always so appreciative of the things I did for him, and it made me feel good to know that I could make his life a little bit easier.
Plus, I really enjoyed cooking. It was something I was good at, and it was a nice creative outlet for me. As I chopped up vegetables and got the noodle soup simmering, I felt relaxed and content. I was grateful for this chance to take a break from studying and just enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
After the food was packed up and ready to go, I headed out the door to Zibusiso's hospital.
I hopped in an Uber and the drive to the hospital took about 50 minutes. When I arrived, I headed to the reception desk and asked where I could find Dr. Khoza's office. The receptionist gave me directions and I headed off to find him. As I walked down the hallways of the hospital, I felt a sense of nervous anticipation. I wasn't sure what to expect when I see him, but I was determined to stay calm and collected.
I finally reached the door marked "Dr. Khoza" and knocked lightly.A muffled voice from inside the office said, "Come in."
I open the door and see Zibusiso sitting behind his desk, looking a little tired but still smiling.
Zibusiso :"Hey there!" he says. "I wasn't expecting you. What a nice surprise."
I set the food down on his desk and sat down in one of the chairs across from him.
Me:"I thought you might be hungry," I say. "I hope you don't mind the intrusion."
Zibusiso :"Not at all," he says. "This is a very welcome interruption. "
Me:"I'm glad to hear it," I say, smiling. "I know you must be very busy, so I won't take up too much of your time. But I brought you some of my homemade chicken noodle soup and a fresh apple pie."
His eyes lit up. "That sounds amazing. Thank you so much!"
I smile, feeling a sense of warmth and satisfaction. It was always nice to know that my cooking could bring joy to others.
Me:"I hope it tastes as good as it looks," I say.
Zibusiso :"I'm sure it will"He took a bite of the soup and his eyes lit up. "It tastes more than delicious, babe," he says. "You're an amazing cook."
I smile and watche him eat, feeling happy that he was enjoying the food. After he finishes, he patts his lap and say, "Come here."
I giggle and stoand up, going over to him and settling myself on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close.
Me: is nice," I say, resting my head on his shoulder.
He kissed my forehead and held me a little tighter.
Zibusiso :"So, how is studying for your upcoming exams going while you're at home?" he asked. "Are you feeling ready?"
I nodded.
Me:"Yes, I'm feeling ready. Studying from home has been okay. It's quite & not the same as being in a classroom, and I'm managing. "He nods.
We continued chatting for a while, until it was time for Zibusiso to go attend to his patients. I called an Uber and hopped in the backseat. The car drove me back home, and I sighed as I arrived at my front door. It had been a long day, but I was grateful for the time I'd spent with Zibusiso....
