Nokukhanya ( Chapter 7)

Chapter 7

●Nokukhanya Ngwenya

When I open my eyes his arms are wrapped around me and my face on top of his chest and the pain between my legs cannot be ignored my cookie is on fire. I don’t know when we finally managed to sleep because after that first round he gave me he wanted more and I couldn’t resist him I also wanted more I’m sure they call this whore tendencies right.

I’m so disappointed in myself this is not the way I wanted to lose my virginity well it was good really good got my first orgasm on the first round I heard some they never get to that point on their first  try but look at me I’m flying high but the downfall of it is that I slept with someone else’s husband’s. This is bad extremely disappointing I’m sure my parents are turning in their grave.

“Good morning.” He says softly. Why is he awake though I wanted to slip away from here and run away. Let me just pretend like I’m still sleeping.

“I know you are awake.” Then why isn’t there breakfast in bed kinda treatment.

“Nokukhanya…”

“Mhmmm.”

“Good morning.” He says holding my face so I can face him. I could just slap the smirk off his face right now.

“Morning…I should get going.” I say trying to move away from him but he holds me tightly to him.

“Thank you.”

“For what?” I raise my eyebrow at him.

“For your innocence…” It comes out as a whisper.

“What… I mean what innocence… you think I was still a virgin… come on how old do you think I am…I wasn’t a virgin.” He laughs. Bloody idiot.

“You cute you know that. But thank you.”

“I should get going…” I say sliding off the bed and running to his bathroom. I hope there wasn’t any blood stains that I left on his sheet that would be embarrassing right imagine losing your virginity to a married man he must think I’m those women who are easy and easily accessible.

There’s a knock.

“Are you ever going to come out from there…”

Dammit I’ve been in here for a such a long time.

“I’ll be right out…” I scream to him.

“Make it snappy please I need to go to work.” He says.

I roll my eyes and step out from the bath wrapping myself with his towel. I will be smelling like a man today… like him. Cindy is going to eat me alive today I swear.

I find my clothes neatly put on top of the bed but my panties are no where to be seen. I know I wasn’t wearing a bra yesterday that I remember but where the hell are my panties. I’ve looked under the bed inside his drawers everywhere but I cant find them. I walk to his wash basket and my eyes lands on the bloody stain on his sheet. I can smell him. His here.

“Don’t worry about it. I will have it cleaned.” He says behind me. When I turn he is already suited up and ready to take over the world unlike me who still has a towel wrapped around my body with no job and no life. I clear my throat before my mouth runs. When it starts it never stops sometimes it gets me into trouble because I can speak without thinking. I need to ask where my panties are in a nice way though.

“Have you seen my panties…” Ooh Shit. That wasn’t what I wanted to ask. I wanted to say something like have you seen my undergarments perhaps. That’s more ladylike right.

“No.”

“No?” He is lying. Why is he  lying because he was the one who undressed me.

“Yes.”

“Have you seen them or not. Yes or no?” I ask moving closer to him.

“No Nokukhanya I haven’t seen your panties. Get dressed your sister and her boyfriend are downstairs.”

“Cindy is here already.” He nods moving closer to me. There are butterflies inside my tummy.

Lord help me to not fall for this married man. It is true once you give them your whole being you feel entitled to them. I want to be close to him I want him to touch me like he did this morning. Dammit why am I so clingy. This so not me. I breathe out when he walks away from me. I wasn’t even aware that I was holding it in.

I get dressed and make my way downstairs.

Cindy is smiling from ear to ear. This girl! Jabu is right here and she is busy flirting with my man…uhmm I mean with Langa that’s his name he is only Mr Gumede in the office.

“Morning…” I greet and I get one response from Jabu. Cindy just rolled her eyes and went back to flirting and that jerk Langa's brother is a non-factor so it doesn’t matter even if I don’t greet him.

“Thank you once again for taking care of her. I’m not sure what would have happened if you weren’t there.” She says.

“Its only my pleasure.  You know we need to help each other.” He replies with a smirk on his face.

Bastard!

“That’s true but I wish she was more careful you know. She needs to grow up some people wont be generous like you were. Some would have taken advantage of her…”

“Cindy!”

“What! You know it’s true or what did you want to lose your virginity to Victor last night. Is that why you went out with him.” I choke on my saliva!

Seriously she doesn’t have timing.

“That’s not true and you know it!” I snap at her. How dare she.

“Don't scream at me.” She says softly so unlike her.

“I’m not screaming at you.”

“You are. Nokukhanya tell me this neh…when are you planning on growing up? What will happen when Jabu and I decide to move who are you going to call to come fetch you at night?”

“You are moving? When? Why are you moving?” That’s all I heard. She wants to leave me like everyone else. I move close to where she is sitting. I will not cry I mean we at someone else’s house for heaven sake.

“That’s all you heard. I give up! I Cant anymore. You need to grow Nokukhanya I cant stress like this. It’s not good for my baby.” Baby? What Baby? She said that same thing when I called her yesterday. Is she…

“Cindy you are pregnant?”

“Yes.”

“Serious.” Holly Shit!

“Yes Nokukhanya I am pregnant.”

“But why…”

“Why do you mean why. I’m pregnant because Jabu and I had sex…we had sex and made a baby!” She shouts at me and that non-factor bloody idiot Laughs. I cant believe we are fighting in front of strangers.

“Cindy that’s not what I meant and you know it.”

“listen Nokukhanya we are going to go home now and after this you’re on your own do you hear me?”

She says banging Langa's beautiful table. Wow!

It’s the hormones right they drive people to craziness it must be the hormones because all of a sudden she’s someone else.

“I’m sorry Cindy and congratulations with the baby.” I say and walk out leaving her screaming at me. She is evidently giving up on me I can hear it in her voice. She is busy screaming at me and I hear Langa trying to calm her down then Jabu.

“Babe calm down please. She’s here and she’s safe. Let’s go home now. Mr Gumede thank you for your kind gesture.”

“Again it was my pleasure.”

I’m outside his gate. This is a beautiful neighborhood all the houses here are fancy very big. I’m not sure where I’m at but I know I’m lost right now but I needed to get away from that situation Cindy is pregnant and she cant wait to move away from me. This was definitely not how I pictured her getting pregnant I wanted her to get married first have her own house then kids maybe by then I would have come out from the dark hole I’m in…how am I going to look out for her children if I cant even look after myself.

I think I’ve been going around in circles I know I’ve past this pink house 15 minutes ago but I’m back here again. I’m tired so I decide to sit down on the pavement knees up and bury my face between them. I haven’t had a good cry in such a long time you know that one where you scream your lungs out and have mucus all over your face that one. All I want to do is scream and shout and let it all out but I wont do that here I’m sure the people here will call the cops on me though I need a break but I wont embarrass myself like that so a silent cry will do for now.

His here. How did he find me. Funny how I can smell him now since I slept with him his scent is unforgettable very strong for my system. I can feel him sitting down next to me. He is close to close. I get those butterflies in my tummy same feeling I got earlier on when he was close to me now that he is sitting next to me basically our bodies are in touch. I just wonder if he realise what he is doing to me. I think I need help I cannot not be falling for someone else’s husband.

●Langa Gumede

After 2 years I finally slept with a woman who wasn’t my wife and I thought guilt was going to consume me but it’s the other way round. I don’t regret sleeping with Nokukhanya in fact I want more of her. I had this fear that I wasn’t going to last for long with her when I went in… you know two  minute noodles since I haven’t done it in such a long time  but that wasn’t the case. And how cute was she this morning pretending like she wasn’t sealed while she said it to me herself …her cookie is precious to her and I must I agree with her as well her cookie is delicious I even sang this morning something I haven’t done in such a long time.

Taking off my wedding ring this morning wasn’t hard compared to any other days. I hope this moving on shit wont bite me in my ass. I don’t want to put my heart out there and fall in love then end up getting hurt. Losing my girls was hard enough right now I will be ignoring all of that.

Her sister and her boyfriend are here to fetch her. She’s busy flirting with me again like that last time I went searching for Nokukhanya. Women though how can she do this while her man is sitting right next to her.

I watch her walk out from the argument she was having with her sister. She seemed very upset with this whole thing.

.

.

“I never took you as someone who walks away from an argument.” I say to her after sitting down. I drove around the estate looking for her. She looks lost and disturbed.

“Sometimes you have too.”

“Why is that?” I ask.

“I sometimes speak without thinking and Cindy is the last person I would ever want to hurt with my words. She’s  my everything.” She says wiping off her tears.

“Can I ask you something.”

“We are talking aren’t we.” She’s mean. I chuckle.

“Yes we are but what I want to ask is personal so I don’t want it to come across as me getting in your business.”

“Yes you broke my virginity this morning…” She says.

“Can you please let me talk! And I knew you were sealed so no need to explain.”

“Sealed? You make it sound like I was a pack of simba chips that needed to be unsealed or something.”

“Nokukhanya man!”

“Sorry. Go ahead and ask me.” The drama of this woman!

“Are you not happy for her that she is pregnant?” I shouldn’t have asked that.

“Excuse you!” She’s angry.

“You getting involved in my business.” She yells.

“I mean if she’s your sister then you must be happy for her not jealous of her…she’s your sister-.” She cuts me off.

“Who the hell do you think you are heh! Of course I’m happy for her! She’s my sister! Who gave you that stupid idea that I’m jealous of Cindy. You don’t know me and you don’t know us!”

“Nokukhanya calm down and listen to me!”

“Go back to your house Mr Gumede and let me be! For your information I’m very happy for her. She always wanted to be a mother that’s why she was mothering me. It just that it happened so fast and…and…just forget it I don’t know why I’m even talking to you.” She says and runs away. I get in my car and follow her.

“Get in the car…”

“Leave me alone.”

“Nokukhanya get in the car dammit!”

She gets in after rolling her eyes and bangs my door.

“You know  there was no need for you to bang my door like that.” I say.

“I know but I had too since you were screaming at me and by the way why do you have my pictures on your phone?” Eish.

“Langa what are you doing with my pictures. Why are they on your phone. How did you get them.” I am going to ignore her. Yes that’s what I am going to do.

“Langelihle Gumede! I’m talking to you.” What did I get myself to.

I stop the car and gets off while she is busy mumbling behind me. I did say I was going to ignore her and that’s exactly what I’m doing.

They still here.

“Where did you find her? Is she okay.” This one worries a lot.

“She was walking around the Estate.  She’s fine.”

“Thank you Langa. Your brother left. Thank you once again  we should leave Nokukhanya woza sambe.”

She looks at me up and down before she clicks her tongue. Then points her small index finger at me.

“This is not over Langalihle Gumede!”

“Nokukhanya woza man!”

What the hell have I gotten myself too. She is definitely crazy.
