Deadly obsession ,Chapter 35
SUKOLUHLE"I'm woken up by Zibusiso kissing me. I smile and open my eyes.
him:'Morning beautiful,' he says.
Me:'Hey, babe,' I say and smile, kissing his cheek. I'm so tired from yesterday. We celebrated New year's Eve until midnight, everyone wishing each other a happy new year. After that, Zibusiso and I disappeared to his room and he made love to me until the early hours of the morning. We fell asleep around 3:00 AM."
Him:"You look still tired," he says with a smirk.
Me:"Of course I am! You really didn't let me breathe yesterday, Zibu," I say, pouting.
He laughs at me.
Him:"I'm sorry, but can you blame me? I couldn't get enough of you. I enjoyed being inside you, baby."
I playfully hit his shoulder.
Me:"Leave from here, Zibusiso!" I say, playfully.
Him:"Your bubble bath is ready, go bathe. I'll bring you breakfast," he says, winking at me as he as he walks out of the room.
I smile to myself and get out of bed. I head to the bathroom and start the bath. It feels so good to relax in the warm water. I close my eyes and let the tension of the past few years melt away . I stay in the bath for a while, enjoying the peace and quiet.
When I'm done, I towel myself off and get dressed. I'm about to head downstairs when there's a knock on the door. I open it to find Zibusiso standing there, holding a tray of food.
Him:"I told you I would bring you breakfast in here. Where are you going?" he says, walking in and closing the door. He takes my hand and leads me to the bed, where he sits down next to me.
Me:"Babe, what will your parents say? They might not like that I'm eating in your room." I say, feeling embarrassed.
Him:"Don't worry about anything, my parents understand that you're tired, baby," he says, smirking.
Me:"Wait...did they hear me moaning all night last night?" I ask, blushing.
He laughs.
Him:"Don't worry, they couldn't hear anything. The walls are pretty thick."
I let out a sigh of relief.
Me"Okay, that's good to know. So, what do we do now?" I ask, looking at him.
Him:"Well, we could eat the food I brought," he says. "And then we could watch a movie or something."
I nod.
Me: "That sounds like a good idea. What movie do you want to watch?"
Him:"How about we watch something light and funny?" he suggests. "Something like 'The Princess Bride' or 'Clueless'? Or maybe '10 Things I Hate About You'?"
Me:"Those all sound great," I say, smiling. "But I think 'The Princess Bride' is a classic. It's one of my favorite movies."
Him:"Then it's settled. 'The Princess Bride' it is," he says, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV in his room.
We get settled in and start watching the movie.
****************************************
I guess I fell asleep after watching the movie, because I'm woken up by my ringing phone. I look for it under my pillow and see that the ID caller is Lubanzi. I answer the call.
Me:"Hey bestie!" I say.
Lubanzi :"Hey, lover. Were you asleep?" he asks.
Me:"Yeah, I was, lover. I'm so kak tired," I say, sitting up straight.
Lubanzi :"I can tell! So, how was your New Year's celebration?" he asks. I smile.
Me:"It was beautiful ," I say, continuing my story. " with Zibusiso and we spent the night making love. It was amazing."
Lubanzi squeals in delight.
Lubanzi: "You naughty scum! You two sound so perfect for each other. "
We continue chatting and he tells me how much he enjoyed being with Andile's family. He says he feels like crying because they are leaving today. I laugh at him, but I'm happy he is so happy and that Andile's family treated him so well.
It sounds like things are going great for him too. I'm so glad both of us are having such wonderful experiences. What a way to start the new year!
Me:"I know right!" I say, laughing. "I think this is going to be a great year for both of us. We'll have so many new adventures and experiences. It's going to be awesome!"
Lubanzi:"I can't wait to see what the future holds for us!" Lubanzi says
After saying our goodbyes,I head to the bathroom .
I wash my face and head out to the living room. I find Lusindiso(Zibu's mother) watching the Real Housewives of Durban. I greet her and she greets me back.
Lusindiso :"Finally you came out of that room!" she says, mocking me. I smile shyly.
Me:"Mah, I'm sorry for--" I start to say, but she cuts me off.
Lusindiso:"No, no, you don't have to apologize, Suku. I understand, trust me I do," she says, smiling. I suddenly feel embarrassed. Could it be that she heard Zibusiso and I last night?
"Come and sit with me, and bring a bucket of ice cream. We need to talk, my child," she says, smiling. I wobbly walk to the kitchen and get the ice cream from the fridge, along with two spoons.
I return to the living room and sit next to her. She pats the space next to her, gesturing for me to sit. I oblige, feeling a little nervous.
Lusindiso :"Relax, haww, I'm not going to ask you how my son tastes in bed," she says. I choke on the ice cream and she laughs while patting my back. We continue eating our ice cream and watching TV."So, my child, when are you getting your matric results?" she asks.
Me:"I think it will be next week, Mah," I say. She nods.
Lusindiso :"And after you get your results, where do you plan to go and study?" she asks. I take a deep breath and think about it.
Zibusiso's mother and I talked about a lot of things that made me realize a lot of things. There's still a lot to talk about with Zibusiso, and it scares me that we might not see eye to eye on everything. It also scares me that we might argue about these things. I'm glad I had this conversation with his mother - it has really opened my eyes.

ZIBUSISO
After spending time with my old childhood friends, I drive back to the house. When I arrive, I find my favorite woman - my mom - preparing dinner and chatting, also laughing. It's such a wonderful sight to see my mom and my girlfriend getting along so well. There's nothing quite like the feeling of knowing that the two most important women in my life like each other.
This is such a lovely moment for you, and it's clear how much you love and appreciate both your mom and your girlfriend. It's wonderful to see that they have such a good relationship.
I smile as I walk up to my girlfriend and kiss her cheek. She blushes, shyly. I then kiss my mother's cheek too.
Me:"My two beautiful women," I say.
Suku:"Hey, you," Suku says.
Lusindiso :"Well, I'll leave you lovebirds and go take a shower before dinner," my mom says before leaving us alone. As soon as she's gone, I kiss Suku again.
Me:"How are you?" I ask her.
Suku"I'm good, baby," she says, nodding. "How are you?"
Me:"I'm great," I say, smiling. "I'm just really glad that you and my mom get along so well. It means a lot to me."
Suku:"It means a lot to me, too," Suku says. "Your mom is such a wonderful woman, and I'm so happy to be part of your family."
I put my arm around her shoulder and pull her close.
Me: "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me," I say. "I'm so glad you're in my life."
She leans in and kisses me softly.
Suku:"I'm the lucky one," she says.
.
.
After we shower, we join the rest of the family downstairs for dinner. We tell my parents that we'll be heading back to Cape Town the next day because I'm needed there for work. We also tell them that Suku needs to go collect her Matric results the following week. They understand, and we all have a lighthearted conversation while we eat. When dinner is over, we say our goodnights and head to our respective bedrooms.
