SBANISENKOSI

We're eating the meat from the barbecue and it's very nice. I never thought this would be me one day having dinner with my boyfriend's family. Aside from Mr Biyela's strange mood. Everything's well and we're enjoying our time.

“I think we're gonna call it a night, I'm very tired.” Chris says, I'm also tired shame. I need to be in bed.

“You haven't had dessert mos? or should I pack it up for you?” Mrs Biyela asks standing up.

“I'm not really a fan of desserts but I'll try this one, so it's okay if you pack it up for us.” I say, she nods and disappears to the kitchen. Mr Biyela gets up and walks upstairs.

“What's wrong with your dad? is he on his periods?” Alexander asks Christopher and he shakes his head.

“I also don't know, he ain't speaking to anyone. Maybe he's just stressed out about work or something.” He says.

“But everything is fine at the office so what's his problem?” Alexander asks, nah something must be off but I'm not a very noisy person so..ai.

“I just want to go to my house and be with my woman.” Christopher says wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

“I need a foot massage, a very serious one.” I say, he nods.

“I got you, don't worry baby.” He says, I glare at Alex who looks like he's cringing. I think he said his other name was Nkanyiso or something.

“Here you go.” Mrs Biyela says walking out of the kitchen with the container that has the dessert.

“Thank you.” I say grabbing the container and side hugging her, Christopher gets up from the chair and grabs the car keys.

“Are you taking separate cars or you're leaving yours?” Alexander asks Chris.

“I'm leaving mine, I don't see the need to take separate cars. I'll drive Sbani's car to my place.” He says, Alex nods.

“Well we're gonna have to love and leave you. We'll see you some other time.” He says. Mrs Biyela comes to hug me.

“You should visit sometimes when you're done with this project of ours. Maybe we could do a girls night out nyana.” She says, I chuckle and nod.

“Definitely, so are you guys temporarily moving out or you can stand the smell?” I ask her.

“We're gonna go rent a house somewhere for the duration of this project. Just so we could give you guys some space.” She says, I nod. Atleast shame, my man and I will have our privacy.

“Okay let's go, you guys are taking so long to say goodbye to each other.” Chris says. We walk out of the house and they see us out, I quickly open the door for myself before he does and I jump in. I don't want his mother to think I'm expecting her son to be some perfect gentleman.

He walks over to his side and jumps in. He starts the car and drives off as I sigh in relief.

“Finally, some alone time.” I say, he chuckles.

“You look so beautiful, I love the dress and the hair as well.” He says, I smile.

“Really? I thought you didn't notice yaz, you were mizing all of that and I was kinda mad at some point.” I say, he shakes his head.

“I saw your nails and eyelashes as well. You look very pretty baby.” He says, I lean towards him and kiss his cheek.

“You're the sweetest person ever, I love being complimented but baby, what's up with your dad?” i ask him, he sighs and shrugs.

“I also don't know, he's not saying anything. He's been quiet all along, all he does is stare at his phone and say "hmm" the entire time. I don't know what's up with him honestly.” He says.

“Don't you think something is wrong with him? or something happened and it's not sitting well with him?” I ask him.

“If something's wrong then he should say something. We also vent to each other and now, I don't know what's up with him.” He says, I shake my head and focus on the road while he drives.

“We had the wildest night hey, groove is crazy babe haa.” I say, he chuckles.

“And there i was missing you while you were busy dancing amapiano the entire night.” He says.

“I'm gonna make it up to you nie? why uba so?” I ask him, he sighs.

“I miss you each and every second of the day, it's crazy. I just wish we were living together.” He says, I glare at him. Well, that could be an option as well.

“So why aren't we living together? are your parents gonna disapprove or what?” I ask him.

“No they're not that old fashioned and they really don't have any problem with how I want my relationship to be.” He says.

“My parents also don't mind, they wouldn't be against the van.sit type of situation.” I say.

“However, I think it's best we take things slow remember, I don't want us to rush into anything.” He says.

“So moving in together means we're rushing things?” I ask him, I'm getting a bit mad now.

“Yes it does.” He says, I frown at him. So he doesn't want to move in with me or I move in with him? wow..

“Just say if you don't want to move in with me bro, don't bring up any excuses.” I say taking my phone and turning it on. He sighs heavily and continues driving. Am I overreacting? hai.

We reach his place after what feels like forever and he drives in. He parks the car and I jump off first leaving him in the car. I unlock the door and walk inside. I turn on the lights and walk to the kitchen. I grab the bottle of whiskey in the shelve and take out a glass.

“Please don't drink..” He says, I keep quiet and pour the glass. A FULL one, I'm 25. No one should tell me how to run my own life especially someone who doesn't want me to move in with him.

“Sbani..” He says, I shake my head and drink the glass while he watches me. I pour another one.

“Are you being serious right now?” He asks, I shrug.

“Who do you want to move in with you? that receptionist of yours or your employee?” I ask him, he frowns.

“If you're still drunk then I'm not having any conversation with you. We'll talk when you talk to me properly, not with that attitude. I'm not one of your friends..” He says walking away, mxm.

I pour the third glass and gulp it down, once I'm done. I walk to the bedroom and sit on the bed because he's glaring at his laptop. I need to get laid but he's mad so....nothing for me tonight? I think I'm drunk...that whiskey is strong.

“For as long as you're here, you'll not drink.” He says still looking at his laptop. I'm sorry but is my dad here?

“But...” I try speaking but he glares at me and I keep quiet. I heave a sigh and keep quiet.

“I need to shower, I'm taking those pajamas of yours.” I say getting up and walking to the bathroom. I take off all my clothes and he opens the door, I turn around and glare at him.

“Do you need something?” I ask him, he closes the door and leans against it.

“We must discuss something, right here...right now.” He says, I sigh and grab my toothbrush from the cabinet.

“I'm listening..” I say.

“I'm not your friend Sbanisenkosi, I'm not Mbali or Luyanda. You can't talk to me however you want especially when you're drunk. I won't stand up for that type of disrespect.” He says.

“You're very disrespectful, I don't know if you get that from your parents or yoir friends but I'm not gonna put up with it. What do you mean when you mention the same receptionist I fired? the fuck is wrong with you?” He asks, I grab my headwrap and wrap it around my head.

“Of course we're rushing things if you want to move in right now, it hasn't even been a month yet but you're already pushing it.” He says.

“I said it's okay, I will not move in. Let's drop it..” I say attempting to get in the shower but he pulls me back.

“I'm still talking..” He says, my naked body pressed against his body. I glare at him..

“I will not move in, it's cool. Now let me go.” I say trying to pull myself from him but he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me even more closer.

“You're getting on my nerves, I can't be stressed about work then be stressed about you as well..” He says looking at me straight in my eyes.

“Let me go, I'm not playing..” I say, he picks me up and walks out of the bathroom with me in his arms.

“I need to shower, on God..” I say, he gently throws me on the bed and gets ontop of me.

“Do you know how much I love you? even the stars I look at don't amount to the amount of love I have for you but you get on my last nerve. WHY SBANI WHY..” He asks planting a kiss on my lips and getting in between of my thighs. He dry humps me slowly and I start breathing heavily.

“I don't want to fight with you, I don't want you to speak to me however you want.” He says burying himself in my neck, he sucks the neck slowly and I moan softly.

“I'm sorry...” That's all I ever had to say, I need to work on myself hey. We'll lose stars here..
