SBANISENKOSI

Yesterday was crazy, or let me say the early hours were crazy. I'm sitting in my apartment trying to watch some K-drama but it's watching me because I keep having flashbacks about yesterday. I have a very nasty hangover and a pussy that's yearning for his long tongue again. You know what's crazy? I'm never going to see him again.

I sigh and sip on my coffee, it's not helping because the flashbacks are now playing faster than ever. I place the coffee on thr table and get up, this is crazy. Maybe I should go to work even with this bad headache. I'll go crazy if I sit here and think about him. I must relax because I'm never gonna see the man again. My phone rings on my charger, I hope it's not Mbali or Luyanda. I'm not in the mood of answering any of her calls after what happened.

Luckily it's my brother, Luzuko. I answer the call and place it on loud speaker because I'm busy walking around.

“Muchkin..” I say walking to my bedroom.
“China, how was your birthday?” He asks, I chuckle softly. My brothers have gotten used to calling me China because my eyes are obviously like Chinese or something.
“My birthday was great, we had a great time and I made it home safely.” I say noting down the most important thing he'd want to know.
“Good, I'm flying in today so let's go out for coffee tonight.” He says.
“I'm in, just pick me up because I'm lazy to drive..” I say, I'm always a baby to my big brother and he lets me be one.
“Make sure you bring your card because I'm gonna use it to fill up the diesel.” He says.
“I'll transfer the money, relax. I'm going to bath right now and go to work, as much as I have a hungover. Work comes first..” i say picking out what I'm gonna wear from my closet
“Okay, we'll talk when I get there tonight so bye.” He says.
“Love you bye..” I say hanging up and throwing the phone on the bed.

I pick out some white tight long off shoulder dress with my white sneakers. Yeah this is simple and cozy. I had already taken a shower so right now I just have to spray my body. Once I'm done doing that, I put on the dress and it hugs my body tightly and perfectly. I'm not wearing any underwear because it's hot and who would poke me and tell me that I'm not wearing an underwear? So yeah.. I put on the sneakers and take off my headwrap. I brush my weave and apply some mousse on it.

After I'm done doing all of that. I grab my handbag and walk out, I'm better now. I haven't gone crazy as of yet. I grab a banana for myself and run out of my apartment. I hope the traffic isn't bad because I'll get irritate and drive back here. I walk to my range rover, that I bought with my hard earned savings and unlock it. I jump in and throw my handbag on the seat besides me. I start the car and play some music before driving off. I live in Pretoria, Centurion in my 2 bedroom apartment.

I get to the office, oh it has a name doll. SenkosiDesigns is the name. This is actually my first baby, where I had to prove to my parents and brothers that I can be a Founder and CEO. My baby is flourishing and people love her, it's a her.

So about what i do as an interior designer, I design buildings. Buildings that are aesthetically safe and functional as well. So you ever buy a house and you need some creativity and techicnical skills of architecture. Then I'm your girl, I do my job very well.

“Good morning Zama.” I say, greeting my receptionist. She flashes a smile before placing the telephone down.
“Good morning Sbani!” She says.
“Why are you all smiles?” I ask while walking to the fridge.
“The client from last month absolutely loves her house and she says if she happens to buy another house in Cape Town, she'll let you know so you can do your magic.” She says, not surprised. I do my job quite well..
“Oh is it? that's nice.” I say grabbing a bottle of sparkling water.
“I'm gonna be in my office, let me know if anything comes up or just pass it to Lindiwe.” I say, Lindiwe is my P.A.
“I'll do so ma'am..” She says.

I walk to my office and open the door, I walk inside and place my handbag on the desk. I love the fresh air in my office, it helps me think clearly. This job requires a lot of focus because one mistake? people rate you 1 out of 5 and it's not nice when you're really passionate about your job.

Lindiwe enters my office and I shoot her a look before she walks out again and knocks.

“Come in.” I say, she walks in laughing and I roll my eyes.
“Just because you're older than me doesn't mean you can disrespect me.” I say.
“I'm sorry ma'am, you have an appointment at 1pm with a man. He said he's looking for an interior for his wife's new house.” She says, I nod.
“I'll be waiting.” I say. She places some of the files she's holding down and only then I realize that she's holding a box.
“And then?” I ask her, she smiles and hands the box over to me.
“It's your birthday gift,you didn't come to work yesterday so I'm giving it to you today.” She says, I smile.
“Haa? Lindiwe thank you!” I say opening the box and coming across Steve madden heels. Oh I love them!
“These heels were on my wishlist.” I say getting up and we share a hug.
“I'm your P.A, I should know that.” She says.

One thing about me? I have a very beautiful healthy working relationship with Mt employees. They love me as much as I love them and I appreciate them each and every day.
.

My door opens as Mbali and Luyanda barge in, lord take me now. I'm about to be interrogated.

“What the fuck is wrong with you? you can't do this to us!” Luyanda says as they sit down.
“I'm working guys, I need to focus.” I say.
“What happened yesterday with that man Sbani? you disappeared with him and came back looking like a mess.” Mbali says, I shake my head.
“Nothing happened guys, relax.” I say closing my laptop.
“Sbanisenkosi!” They both shout at me and I roll my eyes.
“Fine, we didn't have sex. I just gave him a blowjob and he gave me head. That's it..” I say, they scream.
“You are one sneaky girl! what the fuck?” Luyanda says slapping my hand.
“But the man decides to just leave me as I am and leaves. I wanted that díck but he didn't even give it to me.” I say.
“You are wild, in the bathroom?! you are so wild my girl!” Mbali says.
“The past is the past, everything happened and we move. It's not like I'm going to see him again.” I say.
“The Red Room will forever be famous if you had an orgasm in the bathroom!” She says. I sigh..
“That was the best orgasm ever, I probably had an orgasm like 100 times. His tongue is so long and...oh my god..” I say swallowing my saliva and they laugh.
“You clearly enjoyed your birthday huh?getting orgasms in the toilet.” Luyanda says.

I sigh, what's the use because I'm never gonna see him again. He's probably somewhere and he's not even thinking of me.

“Anyway, I'm gonna go out for coffee with Luzuko later on incase you wanted to go out.” I say, Mbali blushes and looks down.
“Mbali stop, Luzuko is way too old for you.” I say, Mbali is like..23 while Luzuko is 34.
“But your brother is a snack and I loveee snacks.” She says biting her lower lips.
“You're crazy..” I say.
“I'd rather be crazy, your brother is a fine man.” She says, I shake my head. A knock come through my door.
“Come in..” I say, Lindiwe walks in followed by a man. A man that looks like he's in his late 50's or early 60's. I say that because he has grey hair but he's good looking either way.
“Your 1pm is actually early.” Lindiwe says, I frown glaring at Luyanda who's scanning  her eyes all over this old man. Is Luyanda crazy?
“Yes please come in, I'm free eitherway.” I say glaring at both my girls. They need to go.
“I'll call you guys.” I say, Mbali stands up and pulls Luyanda up, Luyanda is not even moving her eyes from him.

They walk out along with Lindiwe, if this man is old then why is Luyanda scanning him like that? she's just 26 for God's sake!

“You can sit down sir.” I say, he clears his throat and sits. His face is very familiar, an old man with tattoos?
“The name is Lincoln Biyela.” He says, I nod.
“Sbanisenkosi Mbatha.” I say grabbing the file he has in his hands. I don't know if I'm crazy or this man is familiar.
“I'm sorry you just look familiar..” I say focusing on the file.
“I do? I believe I'm more handsome than my sons.” He says, what is he saying? if Luyanda is crazy if she's attracted to him. I'm cringing right now..
