MBALI

Trying to call Luzuko ever since he left has been such a struggle. He doesn't pick up my calls or respond to my texts. All he ever said was he regrets what happened between us and wants nothing to do with me ever again. That was it, I thought he'd be wanting more like this thirsty men that always come back for more.

I sigh trying to call him again but he doesn't pick up. I throw the phone on the couch frustrated. He haves sex with me and allows me to ride him but he's not picking up my calls? what if I tell his family about what he did? I quickly text him and ask him what he would do if I told his family about what transpired on that day. Within seconds, he views the message and my phone rings immediately, good boy.

“Luzuko..” I say softly, I hear him closing something.

“If you tell my family about any of this Mbali then you're going to know me very well. What happened was a mistake, we shouldn't have done that!” He says shouting through the phone well more like whispering and shouting.

“So you choose to ignore me after we had such a good time? you can't do that.” I say.

“I can and I am, I'm engaged Mbali and I'd like to remain loyal to my fiance. I've already done enough damage mahn.” He says.

“If you don't want me to tell your family or even Sbani about this little thing of ours then you're going to come to Pretoria first thing tomorrow. I don't want to find myself calling your mother and telling her everything.” I say hanging up, I love Luzuko. I can't just let him go like that. Not when his dick is so good, I try calling Luyanda but it goes straight to voicemail.

What is wrong with this girl kanti? we've been trying to reach out to her ever since her date went on last night but sahna she isn't answering ngithi not even our text messages. I heave a sigh, I'll go to her place tomorrow and see what's the tea because she definitely has a reason for mizing us.

In the morning, I finished showering, lotioned myself and put on my casual clothes. Before she leaves for work, let me pop by her place. I eat my breakfast before grabbing my car keys and running out. That other car hasn't returned from the insurance company, I hit it so badly that it needs weeks to be fixed.

I jump in the other car and start the engine, I drive off and head to Pretoria West. I hope she's still there and hasn't left for work. After about an hour, I get to her apartment and drive in. I park my car and jump off, once I get to the door. I use my spare key to open.

I look around and it's a mess, the dishes haven't been washed and the kitchen is a complete mess. What the freaking hell happened here?

“Luyanda?” I call out for her but no one responds, I walk to her bedroom and my heart beats fast as soon as I walk inside.

“Luyanda? hey what's wrong?” I say getting on the bed and uncovering her, she tries covering herself again but I pull the blanket off.

“What's going on? why are you in this state?” I ask her, she looks so pale and her eyes are all swollen up. Like she's been crying for hours and hours.

“Please talk to me Luyanda, you're scaring me. Did something happen? please talk..” I say shaking her, I see her tears falling off. I grab my phone and dial Sbani's number.

“I'm calling Sbani..” I say as the phone rings, my heart is beating so fast.

“Yeah Mbali what's up?” Sbani says answering the call, she sounds like she's still sleeping.

“Luyanda isn't okay, I'm here at her apartment and it's not looking good.” I say glaring at Luyanda who's crying.

“Oh no, is she saying anything?” She asks.

“She's not, she hasn't even said a single word. She's just crying..” I say.

“Okay I'm coming, give some time.” She says hanging up and I look at Luyanda. I've never seen her this way before, she looks so..broken.

“Please talk to me, remember we confide in each other whenever one of us is going through something. Please..” I say trying to get her to talk but she keeps on crying.

“Luyanda please...” I say wiping off my tears, only her and the lord knows what happened to her.

After sometime, she falls asleep. I think Sbani is here because I hear the door opening. I hear her footsteps occur and she walks inside.

“I came as soon as I can, definitely drove much more faster. What's going on?” She asks getting on the bed and glaring at Luyanda.

“Is she still quiet?” Sbe asks, I nod.

“She fell asleep while crying, I just don't know what's going on. I thought everything is fine.” I say.

“Well clearly not, she looks so..broken.” She says and I look at her, I'm so worried about her.

“Let's wait for her to wake up and then maybe she'll tell us what's going on.”  She says, I nod.

“I'll go clean up the mess in there and make her some food.” I say jumping off the bed. She opens the curtains and windows so fresh air could come in.

“Let's go...” She says as we walk out, I notice that she's walking weirdly and she's in her man's clothes.

“You got some yesterday huh?” I ask her, she sighs.

“Punishment, you know how my tongue goes loose sometimes and how I love creating fights? I did that and my man felt so disrespected so I had to be punished.” She says, I chuckle a bit.

“Judging by the walk, it looks like your punishment was amazing and fun.” I say, she nods.

“Rode him, d*ggy style, missionary like every position you can think of. He was on his A game.” She says, we walk into the kitchen and start cleaning up everything.

“I think i need to like..start working on myself. I actually see that this is quite serious. This man loves me and his family loves me too so I need to start beiny serious. I need to respect him, I need to stop talking to him rudely and I must grow up.” She says.

“A relationship needs work too, always remember that. Don't expect it to always be rosy.” I say.

“I saw thst yesterday, one minute we're happy having dinner with his family and then the next, I'm fighting him over something so stupid ” She says.

“So is he still mad?” i ask her, she nods.

“He just made breakfast for me today and then left. Even after yesterday's 10 rounds, he was kinda off. He just took out his frustations on me and then slept. Hence I really think I should speak to him, I don't like communicating but I need to.” She says, I nod.

“Dala what you must my love, it's your relationship and your man after all.” I say throwing the paper towels in the dustbin.

“I'll talk to him when he knocks off. Maybe over a cup of coffee because he doesn't approve of me drinking while with him. I tend to say things that upset him and you know how I am..” She says.

“You have a very loose mouth that can unleash anything so I understand.” I say, she sighs.
