THE BRACELET 8DIMAKATSO
I've never been with a man before and being with Tumelo in the same room makes me feel all types of things. I know he's older than me, way too older than me but still I want him more than I've ever wanted anybody. His room is neat but small. I sit on the bed and cross my legs, pulling down my short demin skirt that keeps moving up. I should have just wore my pants because here I am feeling uncomfortable in a room alone with a man who's about to take my virginity. What the hell am I even doing? Is this about the money he spent on me and the one I saw in his wallet that I'm willing to give up my pride to him?
Am I that desperate to be noticed? Is it because I'm having it hard at home and I hardly get the things I need? I can't believe I'm about to spread my legs for this man but at least he's able to do things that my father is failing to do financially. He places his hand on my shoulder and I shiver, he notices that I'm uncomfortable so he lets go of me.
Tumelo: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable
Me: It's okay it's just that I've never been in a situation like this before
Tumelo: Let me dish up so we can watch a movie. Are you a fan of action?
Me: Anything is fine. As long as it's nice
Tumelo: You can relax, Katso. We won't do anything you don't want to do. Get on the bed and relax you don't have to sit on the edge really. I promise I won't touch you if you don't want me to
I take my shoes off and place my legs on the bed. He's too close and I don't know how to react.
TUMELO
Had she not insisted on seeing me, I wouldn't have picked her. She's too young for whatever is about to happen and the worst part is that I'm not the one who's going to take her virginity but the snake. My phone vibrates and I actually thought I had switched it off. I get off the bed and go outside to answer because I wouldn't want her to hear my conversation with the woman I love.
Me: Baby
Warona: I've been trying to get hold of you for the whole day
Me: I'm sorry baby
Warona: I'm coming
Me: What? No baby don't come
Warona: Why not?
Me: I'm not home
Warona: Are you at the car wash?
Me: No I've went to a couple of interviews and I'm still checking out a few things in town
Warona: Oh! Why didn't you tell me that you had interviews lined up?
Me: I didn't want to jinx anything
Warona: Oh well then I hope it works out for you
Me: I'll see you in the afternoon
Warona: Okay. I love you
Me: I love you too sweetheart
Ending the call, I return to the room. She's already eating so I join her. We watch the movie for about 30mins and then I initiate the kiss. I could see how uncomfortable she is and I just want to stop but I can't. The snake has already made its way to the bed and I wish I didn't have to witness the whole thing. She's not passing out like Wawa did so I just continue touching her until she lets loose.
DIMAKATSO
His hand is all over my body and I can't help but gasp every time he squeezes my breast. It's too small that it can fit in his palm and I can see how much he likes it. I take off my top and expose my bare torso. I'm uncomfortable at first but I don't have to be scared because I've made up my mind already. I'm having *** with this man today and I know he'll take care of my financial needs.
Me: Do you have a condom? It's my first time so I want to be safe
Tumelo: I do
Me: Put it on then
Tumelo: I still want to play with you
Me: Have you ever been with a virgin before?
Tumelo: No
Me: I've never been with a man before so please be gentle. I don't know how to do it so don't judge me
He doesn't respond but rather kisses my neck. I let him pull down my skirt, together with my panties. My legs are shaking as he spreads them wide and starts playing with my clit. He's just using his fingers but I can certainly feel a bit of pain like I'm being penetrated. I guess I'm just nervous that's why.
Me: It's kind of painful. Am I too tense?
Tumelo: Just go with the flow
Me: Do you like me?
Tumelo: I like you very much
He gets in between my legs and holds my wrists together. I'm a bit embarrassed my being completely naked with my legs spread wide in front of him. He's staring at my body like he has never seen a naked woman before.
Tumelo: I can't do this. I can't have *** with you
He stops touching me
Me: What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me? Is it my body? Is it not attractive enough?
Tumelo: I wouldn't be able to take your virginity, it's wrong
Me: No it's not. I gave you my consent
Tumelo: Let me take you home
Me: Oh!
We both put on our clothes then he reaches for his wallet and takes out a couple of notes. I didn't count it but it's not the amount of money I've ever held in my hand. I can tell it's more than a R1000 and I just don't know what I'll even do with that kind of money. We walk out and he only takes me halfway home
Tumelo: This is the farthest I can take you
Me: Will I see you again?
Tumelo: Dimakatso you're too young for me and I'm really not comfortable with being seen with you. What will people say?
Me: Okay then I understand
He pecks my cheek and walks away. I pass by the shop to get myself a few treats to have at night while I watch TV
TUMELO
[THE NEXT DAY]
I think I have enough money to rent out a room somewhere away from home. It's no secret that they don't want me here at home and I'm not going to force things. I need my own space and privacy so Warona can also be free, come and go as she pleases. I'm still in the process of finding a suitable place and I've asked my friend Sticks to also let me know if he finds anything. I need a job ASAP so that Warona doesn't start asking questions about where I get my money from.
Sticks: Is Warona paying for the rent? The last time I checked you didn't have any money on you
Me: I'm a man I made plans
Sticks: What kind of plans?
Me: Do I have to tell you everything?
Sticks: I'm your friends and I tell you all my secrets. Why won't you tell me yours?
Me: It's not a big deal I just had odd jobs here and there
Sticks: Really?
Me: What's this? An interrogation?
Sticks: Of course not. I just don't want you to end up doing dodgy stuff or being involved with the wrong crowd just because you're desperate for money. I know you're not having it easy at home but crime isn't the way
Me: I'm not doing crime and I'll never do it
Sticks: Do you know this girl?
Me: Which girl?
Sticks: Come and see
He shows me a photo on his cellphone and that's Dimakatso I'm looking at.
Me: I think I've seen her around. What's up?
Sticks: It says here she's dead
I drop the car polish I was holding in my hand and snatch the phone from his hands
Sticks: What the hell?
Me: What happened?
Sticks: I don't know I haven't read the whole thing
I scroll down to find out what exactly happened to her but they don't say. Seems like natural death
