CHAPTER 9
ZINHLE DUMAMe: No! hell no, that's not gonna happen.
Thato: It is gonna happen trust me.
Me: Thato yazi you're so...
Thato: I'm so sleepy, aren't you?
He walked to the door and locked it. I watched him as he took off his clothes leaving only briefs on.
Thato: You're not gonna stand there forever, are you?
Me: Thato...
Thato: Come on we just gonna sleep just like we did yesterday in your room, just sleep and nothing more. I'm not a rapist.
Me: I never said you were.
He got undercovers.
Thato: Come on then.
I went to the closet and changed in my short silk pjs. I walked back and found him sleeping. I gently got undercovers with my back at him. He pulled me closer to him, I could feel his manhood on my ***.... I shifted uncomfortably.
Thato: Even if you shift the way you want Hlehle, you still gonna feel it.
Me: Mxm.
Thato: Turn around... that way it's better.
I closed my eyes and breathed out before turning... He pulled me closer placing my head on his chest.
Me: You smell woman's lotion.
Thato: Really?
Me: Yes.
Thato: Could be your lotion.
Me: No it's not.... I don't use that kind of lotion.
Thato: Oh...
Me: Argh you can say it Thato, you come from your woman... I won't blame you.
Thato: Uh-uh not my woman.... yes she's a woman but she's not mine.
Me: Whatever but she smells nice if she uses that lotion.
Thato: Okay that's enough let's sleep.
I kept quiet listening to his heartbeat until I fell asleep.
***
I woke up feeling someone's eyes on me. I slowly opened my eyes and was met by Tshepiso's eyes. A smile creeped on my face.
Me: Hey..
Silence.
Me: Tshepi?
Tshepi:....
Me: Hayibo?
I sat straight rubbing my eyes. He was standing by the dressing table with a serious face I never saw, I swallowed hard.
Tshepi: After everything I did to save you Zinhle? you wanted to run back to that abuser?
Me: I.. I.. I was hurt by Thato's words Tshepi... I didn't mean for any of that to happen.
Tshepi: You just thought of Thato and not me huh?
Me: What? no... no it's not like that at all... I just...
Tshepi: Get ready, breakfast is ready.
Me: Tshepiso?
He walked out slamming the door behind him... yeah that was very thoughtless of me. I mean he tried all he could to take me out of that hell hole! bought me clothes, a phone.... mostly, he gave me a shelter and a safe one... I should be thankful.
I took a warm bath and dripped in my shorts with oversized tee and sliders. Walking downstairs I found both of them having their talk while eating.
Me: Good morning.
They both kept quiet, glancing at me and continuing with their talk. Okay they're acting immature right now. Becca brought my plate, I sat far away from angry birds and had my breakfast.
Tshepi: Zinhle do you wanna go back to Durban? to your man I mean?
Me:....
Thato: We wanna set you free phela.
Me: Ohh....
They gave a "so?" look..
Me: Uhm no.... no I don't wanna go back. Well if you wanna take me back, it's okay.
Thato: That wasn't a part of our question Hlehle.
Silence filled the room until Thato's phone rang. He excused himself.... I was left with Tshepi.
Me: I don't like your seriousness.
Tshepi: I don't like your childishness.
Me: Tshepi?
Tshepi: No mara Zinhle how can you just pack up and leave just because of what Thato said? you must've seen what kind of person he is from those past three days.
Me: I'm sorry.
Tshepi: I don't want your sorry man.
Me: Then what do you want?
Tshepi: I want you.
Me: You want me? njani? (how)
