Xola got us our drinks and made us comfortable. Ayanda was already
mingling with other people. A while later, we were served braai vleis, salads
and rolls. Andayitya man inyama ndangqale ndayocela enye. Engandihleki
uOG, ebebona ba sendiqhutywa butywala obu bendizingxala bona. Kalok
oko ndamitha, zange ndaphinda ndazonwabisa kanje. Nestage nah,
besibuzwa kum.
Xola undibizele ecaleni, esithi mandehlise isantya ngoku ngoba bekusazo
yiwa nase Cubanna. Nyani, ndiziselele amanzi ane ice ndehlisa apha
emnxilweni. Xola ebengapheli phambi kwethu, oko esihoyile, especially le
indim intokazi.


Me:"ndibawela iDoritos." ndithethe ndijongise ku mhlobo wam.
OG:"ndim owo, yitsho kuXola. Inoba uzovuma kuwe." Ndimcelie nyani
wavuma.
He took us to a close by garage, sawola izinto ezimnandi. On our way back
to the braai, he got a call but I couldn't mae clear of what was being said,
but ndive sele esithi usendleleni, uyeza. I wonder uya kubani.
OG:" bendisathe nqa. kodwa ke makasele amanzi axole owomntu, akho
apho uyakhona. Singama ndwendwe aho kwaye awuzu sishiya simunca
iintsini apha no Ayanda ogcwele isigezo, unlessufuna ndinxile ndikhwelwe
zezi chomi zakho." Hahahahahahaaha, ndabona ba iyabila ngumsindo le
inguXola.

OG:"ndisigcinile isethembiso sam, ndayenza into obu ndi cele yona and
awuzundenzela izimanga mna."
Xola:"mxm.". OG ebengxame nyani, engasa shwabuli man, ebendixakile.
Sithe sifika, ndabe ndimbona ba uXola udikiwe nyani.
Xola:"Yoza, cela ungehli undikhaphe."
OG:" ba mna ndisale no Ayanda naba bantu ndingabaziyo?"
Xola:" Ngumntu wakho vele." wehlile ke uOngeziwe ebuyela embhadleni,
ndayongena ngaphambile, sayiqhwita ejolise etalishisi.
Xola:" ndiyabna noko wehile umqhele."
Me:"hay noko ngok. Okowena uzi mamele."
Xola:"kunga qhuba bani kalok?"
Me:"shame, na ngomso kuse lusuku."
Xola:"ewe, sonxilela endlini ngomso."
Me:"ja neh." sifike kwezinye iFlats, wafona xa esegatini. The gate opened
sangena. He asked me to wait in the car, azuhlala, whilst eya ngaphakathi,
nam ke ndavuma. Ndisale ndizidlalela nge phone yam. He had left the key,
on the ignition.

Some lady knocked on the window and I rolled it down.
Lady:"sorry, but you are parked on my parking spot."
Me:"oh, sorry, I didn't know." She politely showed me the visitors' parking
lot and I got out and I got on the drvers' side and moved the car. She
gracefully thanked me.
A while later my phone rang, it was Xola.

Me:"yebo?"
Xola:"he mfo, uphi?" I flashed the lights for him.
Me:"uyandi bona ke ngoku?"
Xola:"ja sure, ndiyeza." Whenhe got to the car I could see he was a bit
confused.
Xola:"how did you end up hete?"
Me:"hehehehe, ubumise endaweni yomnye usisi, so wandicela ndiisuse?"
Xola:"isuswe nguye or nguwe?"
Me:"heyake, ndim."
Xola:"oh Thixo enofefe, imoto yam."
Me:"chill, I can drive. Call Onge now and ask her."
Xola:"ndizoyi joka ekuseni ba ayina dent na.
Me:" fine by me. Ndiyabona ndidelekile." He laughed and we drove back to
the braai. People were wasted already and mna I was now sober, so I got
myself a drink and went to chill with OG and this other girl she was with.
A while later, we all headed to Cubanna, apho ndifike ndanxila ndangazazi..


I woke up with a massive headache and oh, I was naked. Next to me was a
passed out Xola. Oh my, what had happened? I tried moving but he pinned
me down. Wasn't he passed out na?
Xola:"uyaphi?"
Me:"I need to pee and bath."
Xola:"oh, ok."

I got up, wore his t-shirt and headed to the bathroom, peed and went to get
my toiletries from the bedroom I was suppose to be sleeping on. OG was
passed out, alone. I took my toiletries and gown and headed back to the
bathroom. My treasure was on fire. I couldn't believe what happened. Worst
part is that I couldn't remember a thing. I was embarrassed and furious
with myself. I wondered if we even bothered using a condom.. I couldn't
have another baby, not anytime soon.


After bathing I got dressed and to chill in the lounge. Ayanda was there,
passed out on the couch, so I decided to go chil on the balcony and call my
mom. I missed Bhongo and felt really guilty about sleeping with Xola. Kona,
angathini uMondli? Fuck, why am I even thinking of that douche bag. Nxe.
Mom answered and I coull hear Bhongo screaming on the background. He
was actually baby talking. He was going to be 5months full in a few days
and I was so excited. Mom told me they'd be going to Margate the next
week, for his doctor's appointment, so bebezogqitha kum. That excited me.
A while later, after talking to mom and Bhongo, Xola appered, fully dressed
and smelling fresh.


Xola:"undi balekele ntoni?"
Me:"huh?"
Xola:"thought we'd go for round 2."
Me:"oh." he pulled me closer to him and enveloped me into a hug.
Xola:"last night wasn't a mistake. I really do like you, and I had to beg
Onge to bring you here. I am sorry I took advantage of you and didn't wait
a while longer, but I don't regret it."
Me:"did we use protection?"
Xola:"yes we did."
Me:"since am not sure, can we at least get an emergency pill."
Xola:"no it's fine."
Me:"thanks."
Xola:"masambe ngoku, sosole sithenga ibreakfast." We left, bought what we
needed and returned. I drank the pill after breakfast and went to lay down. I
was tired. Later on I woke up and decided to cook us supper. Xola was all
lovey dovey and I was uncomfortable. I made pork chops, green salad,
chakalaka and seasoned pap.


Xola:"yesses, hay Onge mfethu, ndiyatshata apha."
Ayanda:"yenza bengakade bamthathe nyani. hay yapheka sistaz."
OG:"hay yi chomi yam ke lena."
Ayanda:"skwizza mfo."
OG:"whatever. " All this time, I was quiet. Ugqiba kwethu ukutya, I did the
dishes. Ayanda and xola went to buy booze and some goodies.
Ongeziwe sele endibuza some questions about me and his brother.
OG:"ungathi andiku xelelanga ke sana, nguma ntombini uXola. Sowuyo
nyamezela."
Me:"I don't think I am ready for another relationship. "
OG:"then don't rush yourself. "
Me:"yeah hey."
OG:"talk to him."
Me:"I might as well enjoy tonight. And besides, I could use with some sober
sex."
OG:"hehehehehe, awutsho."
Me:"thought you were aware. "
OG:"tu sana."
Me:"andikhumbuli nix kemna ndiku balisele."
OG:"kodwa kuya caca uyidlalile indima yakho, naku eyi nca bostik."
Me:"I hope. So, wena noAyanda, ithini into?"
OG:"I like him, a lot, qha ngumantombini."
Me:"I say try him out."
OG:"we have done the deed, but we declared it a mistake, so, yeah, that's
it."
Me:"yhu, iHeavy ke lendaba."
We chatted till the guys got back, then the drinking marathon began, but
