TWELVE







.



**PULANE**



.



I woke up in the morning and stretched my arm to hold Bokang but he wasn't in bed. I put on my gown and I found him standing at the balcony



.



Me: I thought I'd get a morning glory



BK: I didn't want to wake you up from your beauty sleep



Me: Come back to bed, baby



BK: I didn't think you'd be addicted to my charm so quickly



Me: I've been addicted and you know it



BK: What do you want me to do to you in bed?



Me: Everything



BK: I actually have a better suggestion



Me: Which is?



BK: How about we go do it in the shower?



Me: As long as you promise you won't drop me



BK: I can't promise that



.



He picked me up and we went to the bathroom. He pulled down my gown and we went in. We played with the water and ended up making love. After that we got dressed and went to have breakfast.



.



Me: I could live like this forever



BK: I'm glad you're happy



Me: I never thought I'd find love



BK: Love found you



Me: Thank you for yesterday



BK: Anything for my woman



Me: I can't believe we're actually dating



BK: It was long overdue



Me: I just hope John never comes back



BK: He'd be knocking at death's door if he comes back. I don't ever want to see him near us



Me: So we're leaving today?



BK: Do you want to leave?



Me: No



BK: So what's the problem?



Me: Mmh! In that case I wouldn't mind spending one more night



BK: We should also get swimwear



Me: I don't know how to swim



BK: I'll teach you



Me: Really?



BK: Yeah don't worry



Me: I can't wait



BK: So what are your plans for next year?



Me: Obviously varsity. I really hope I did well in the exams



BK: That's obvious



Me: I was under a lot of stress so I can't be sure



BK: Stop overthinking this you killed it



Me: This year should just come to an end already so we can start afresh



BK: I love you, Pulane



Me: I love you too, Bokang



.



We had our breakfast and then we went into the pool. I was a bit scared at first but he showed me how to do it and I started enjoying. We later went for some quad biking and bunjee junping. He was an adventurous guy and I, on the other hand was quite boxed up but I managed to let loose. It turned into a birthday celebration 2.0 and I was loving it. We spent another night at the lodge and had lots of ***. The next morning we went back home and I was tired from all the activities so I took a nap



.



**GIGI**



.



I waited for minutes at the restaurant and he wasn't showing up. Just when I was about to leave, he came in and I was so irritated already



.



John: Traffic



Me: I hate being kept waiting



John: Relax, will you?



Me: Pay my bill as an apology



John: Okay fine I'll cover the bill



Me: I need your help



John: What is it this time?



Me: Bokang



John: My son made it clear that he doesn't want to see me anymore. He doesn't even know that I'm back and I'm lying low so please don't tell him



Me: He won't pick up my calls or respond my messages. He hates me



John: He's just upset



Me: That township girl took him away from me and I'll not allow it. She's not in my league and it's an embarrassment to the Mokoenas



John: Pulane is a real deal, something you'll never be



Me: Excuse me?



John: You're too fake



Me: I want her out



John: What's that got to do with me?



Me: I need you to deal with her so I can get my Bokang back. I tried to get him to bed but I'm still not pregnant



John: Are you deaf or stupid? I told you I'm not getting anywhere near them. Bokang is a loose cannon when he's angry and he'd kill me



Me: Oh come on John. Surely you can do me this favour since you owe me



John: Owe you?



Me: Don't act dumb. I told you you'd owe me a favour when you asked me to do an abortion



John: What were we supposed to do when we knew the baby wasn't Bokang's but mine?



Me: I would have come up with a plan and now your stupid idea ruined our beautiful relationship. He was ready to marry me



John: How is it my fault that you're a gold digging bitch who's addicted to money? My son would have never married you



Me: How dare you?



John: You and I know you're a parasite and Lord knows which big shot you're milking dry right now



Me: You're the one who couldn't get enough of my *****



John: Because I could afford it. We both know you have to spread your legs to wear that Louis Vuitton and you're nothing but a bitch. Stop calling me or else...



Me: Or else what? I'll tell BK you raped me and forced me to terminate the pregnancy



John: He wouldn't believe you



Me: Why not? I mean you have a history of taking advantage of vulnerable young girls and he'd bury you alive if he found out



John: Fine. What do you need me to do to carry out your plan?



Me: Good boy. Now you'll do everything I say and no mistakes



MY MESS 14



.



**GIGI**



.



Me: I have a plan and I think it'll be perfect and quick



John: I'm listening



Me: A hijacking



John: Hijacking?



Me: Yes John a hijacking. Did I stutter?



John: Ok and then?



Me: You get your guys to put an eye on the couple every day and when they unfortunately drive out together, they attack



John: Isn't it risky?



Me: You'll have to tell them to not touch my Bokang but I need that township girl dead



John: You want me to kill my Pulane?



Me: Your Pulane? Don't be stupid John you know Bokang is done with her



John: I'll see what I can do



Me: I need it done ASAP



John: I said I'll see what I can do so stop being a pain in the ***



Me: You know what's at stake, Johnny. If you **** up it'll be the end of you



John: Are we done here?



Me: You can go



.



He reached out for his wallet and threw a few hundreds on the table before he left



.



**BOKANG**



.



Me: Mmh something smells great. Even though I enjoyed the outing, I still missed your cooking Ma



Ma: I know you did



Me: Are you fine?



Ma: I've been thinking



Me: About?



Ma: The Christmas party. I mean Christmas is approaching and I think we need to plan something despite your father being away



Me: I think with him away it'll be the best Christmas in years



Ma: Oh please Bokang you know he's still your father



Me: Have you spoken to Kea? She promised to come this week?



Ma: Ah you know your sister and travelling. I don't know when she'll come



Me: I was thinking we could have a Christmas party without the others. You know just me, you, Kea and Pulane



Ma: They'll think we're shutting them out



Me: They'll understand, Ma



Ma: Okay I guess you have a point. I need quality time with my children



Me: Thank you Ma



Ma: So?



Me: So?



Ma: You and Pulane



Me: What about Pulane and I?



Ma: Are you an item now?



Me: Yes



Ma: Oh honey I'm so happy for you



Me: I needed to move on from the Gigi drama



Ma: Good for you, papa. Pulane is a wonderful girl and you two look good together



Me: I know right



Ma: Where's she by the way?



Me: I think she's sleeping



Ma: I'm proud of you for helping her when she needed you the most. You're a good man, Bokang. Nothing like John



Me: Just know that I'll always protect you and Kea by any means necessary



Ma: And Pulane



Me: Obviously that's my baby



.



A few minutes later Pulane joined us and we had lunch as a family. We were in a good space and I couldn't want anything more than that. Days passed and the Christmas was near. We had to buy a few things for the day and Pulane suggested we also get matching outfits and have a photoshoot. So we drove shopping for a lot of things and my feet were even tired from walking in and out of shops. We finally got the things we needed and then drove back home



.



**PULANE**



.



Me: I hope we got everything



BK: We got the whole mall



Me: Oh don't be silly baby. You should be grateful most of the things were on sale



BK: I'm happy when you're happy



Me: So I've been thinking of cooking for us tonight



BK: Yeah? I'd really love that baby



Me: I know your mom loves the kitchen but I want to cook for you



BK: My mom won't have a problem with that



Me: At least the year is almost over



BK: Yep. That means new beginnings for us



Me: I love you so much



BK: I didn't know



Me: Hah!



BK: I love you more baby



Me: You know I've been thinking of learning how to drive



BK: That's actually a great idea



Me: So will you teach me before I even attempt to go to driving school?



BK: Of course baby you know I'll do anything for you. No questions asked



Me: Thank you



.



We stopped at the traffic lights and I opened the window a little bit. BK turned on the music and we both smiled at each other. Just then, two men appeared from either side of the windows and they had big guns. I panicked as the guy on my side instructed me to open the door and come out. I opened it and he pulled me out aggressively with my hair. Bokang was obviously not happy with that so he tried to speak but the guy on his side slapped him while dragging him out of the car. He tried to fight him but the guy lost it and pulled the trigger. I screamed my lungs out and the guy let me go as they ran into their car and sped off. I rushed to the other side where Bokang lay in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound on his chest.
