Nokukhanya (Chapter 3)

Chapter 3

●Nokukhanya Ngwenya

“I cannot believe you right now! What did I say to you? Didn’t I ask you to stay by side?” She says and start taking the chairs from the table and putting them back on their rightful place. The restaurant will be open in 30 minutes.

“You did. I’m sorry Cindy.” I’ve been apologizing to her since yesterday. I stopped by her place when I got back from my grandmother but she’s not having it even Jabu couldn’t save me from her this time.

“I go to the bathroom for 2 minutes. 2 minutes! Then you have drank for the whole year! What were you thinking?”

“Ladies! Keep it moving! Get back to work!” Mr Jones says loudly for the whole world to hear.

“I’m sorry Cindy. Please forgive me I was only trying to get back at you then I over did it.”

“You cant over do it Nokukhanya…you just cant! Move out of my way!” She pushes me slightly and go to the next table. I follow her.

“Cindy I’m sorry hle.” I’m in a brink of tears right now. Cindy means a lot to me and her being angry at me is weighing me down.

She sighs deeply.

“Nokukhanya do you know how worried I was when I couldn’t find you. I panicked.” She was worried about me?

“Then I found you dancing on top of a table. How embarrassing that was… I can’t with you anymore. What’s going to happen when I leave…who is going to clean up after you? I told Jabu you weren’t ready but no athi you are old enough…and mina I worry about you.”

“Leave? You leaving? When and why?”

“Ladies work please!” Mr Jones voice can be very irritating sometimes. Very! Like right now can’t he see I’m talking to my best friend.

“We will talk later.” She says going away from me to change because she is working behind the counter today and I’m on kitchen duty again.

.

.

What did she mean she’s leaving? Leaving to where? Cindy can’t leave she knows she is the only one I have besides my grandmother. After my parents died all my relatives died as well. I’m all alone in this world without her.

“Nokukhanya someone is looking for you.” Cant these people leave me alone with my thoughts and these stupid dishes? Can’t they see that I’m freaking out here Cindy wants to leave me.

“Looking for me?” I glance up and find Khensani folding her arms and tapping her foot. They should seriously burn the chewing of a gum because she is over doing it now what’s left is for her to blow a bubble.

“Yes you. Ukhona umunye uNokukhanya lana.” Mxm this bitch! Who the hell does she thinks she is talking to me like that. Ngathi angawa!

I follow her to the front busy shaking her none existing hips. I inwardly laugh at her because phela ugirl is'shwapha siziphamadla.

When we finally reached the front Cindy is busy smiling from ear to ear talking to some guy in a suit. I wonder what will Jabu say if he saw her like this phela this is beyond flirting she was undressing the poor man.

Ooh dzamm who is tha-…?

Bam!

Ass on the floor!

Head bump will be visible in 3 seconds!

“Son of a bitch! Dammit!” I cursed the moment pain pierced through my whole body as my head came in contact with the special notice board. How many times must I tell that old Jones to put this shit near the door and not here.

“Nokukhanya are you okay.” I think that was Cindy I’m not sure. My head is spinning I swear I’m seeing small stars that are dotting my vision.

“Hey are you okay?” A male voice. I’m saying a male voice because it’s so deep so sexy much manlier than Vic's …well comparing Victor’s voice to this one he sings soprano definitely soprano. This voice I’m hearing now just silenced my thoughts the stars disappeared and pain gone. It was so deep that I got wet down there.

Holly cow!

●Langa Gumede

To say I had a long Sunday is an understatement. Yesterday was a long ass day. It took me the entire day to get of that girl's image off my mind I regret going through her phone period because not only did I get a boner every time I closed my eyes I forwarded her CV to my company and I know she will be contacted as soon as possible.

Now all I have to do is return her phone to her so she can come work for me.

“Mr Gumede the HR Department is requesting an urgent meeting with you.”

“For what?”

“I’m not sure…I just got the email now.” I look up at Fikile only now do I notice how tight her dress is. This is not acceptable for the office. I clear my throat and get back to my emails responding to HR.

“Its okay get back to work I’ve responded to them. Thanx.”

“Ooh okay. Is there something I can help you with.?”

“That will be all. Thank you.”

“My pleasure.” I’m sure my mind is playing tricks on me but I think she’s flirting with me.

.

.

“Mr Gumede I know we don’t have any vacancies available at the moment and she doesn’t have any experience but she’s good… out of all the CVs we have received in the past her’s is better much better since your brother’s CV.” See I knew she will be contacted ASAP.

“So Mrs Cele what you telling me is that I should hire her even though we don’t have any open vacancies?”

“Uhm yes Sir we can create something for her brains…if that wont be any trouble.” It wont I want her here.

“I should hire her without any experience…just for her brains?”

She nods.

“She’s still a student am I correct?”

“Yes that’s correct.”

“So who is going to train her? Who is she going to work under? Last time I checked the finance department was doing pretty well and I don’t think any of them will have time to train a new student.”

I look at her and I think she is trying to come up with an idea.

“Mrs Cele…”

“Uhm… She can work with you…you can train her. I’m sure she can adapt fast working under you.”

Under me? Well that’s a nice way of putting it she will be under me when I fuck her brains out. What the hell is happening to me I haven’t been like this since my wife.

I clear my throat. This will be a bad idea. Very bad.

“I don’t have time for that. If you feel she is worth it call her and set up an interview with her and we will take it from there. It’s your baby handle it. I want to meet her before anything.”

“Okay. I will arrange everything. I will call her myself for an interview tomorrow and-…” I cut her off. Not tomorrow I still need to give back her phone.

“Not tomorrow!... make it for next week Monday.”

“Okay.  Monday then.”

Shit that was close. I watch her leave my office. Last time she was this excited about hiring someone is when we hired my brother…Linda is very good at what he does.

.

.

Why am I so nervous? I’ve been sitting here for almost twenty minutes I did not plan this through. What am I going to tell her ‘Hi here is your phone we bumped into each other and It fell’ That’s too long. ‘Hi my name is…’ I don’t need to tell her my name. Let me just walk in there and see how it goes.

“Welcome to Jones Eat how can I help you today.” Wow. She sounds very happy she is not even looking at me when she says that.

“Afternoon…” She looks up and find me smiling at her. I know her. She’s the girl that was with my girl. My Girl WTF. Why am I smiling like this. Boy am I glad that she is returning the smile as well.

“Afternoon…I’m sorry can I get you anything or you will be sitting in.” She says politely.

“Uhm no actually I am looking for someone?”

“Someone? Here? Do you know their name perhaps?”

“Nokukhanya…” I say.

“Nokukhanya? Why? Is she in trouble? Why are you looking for her?” Wow she is talking very fast.

“No she’s not I just want to give her something that belongs to her.” She sighs in relief.

“I will get her for you.” She says while picking up the phone and telling whoever is on the other line to get Nokukhanya to come here.

“She will be here any minute now.”

“Thank you.”

We make small talk here and there and I know my charm has gotten to her as well because right now Cindy as her name tag states is totally flirting with me. Then a loud bang making us turn finding my girl down on the floor. Clumsy are we.

“Son of a bitch! Dammit!” She screams making the whole restaurant go silent.

“Nokukhanya are you okay.” Cindy rushes to her worried and I follow her.

“Hey are you okay?” Damn she is even more beautiful in person. Even that bump on her forehead is cute.

What have I gotten myself into.
