I get out of bed

And hurry to the bathroom

I overslept

I have to be fast

Or else I will be late for my

meeting

And I can’t afford that

I said I will handle it myself

And now here I am

Sometimes sleeping late is not

wise

But it’s because I was working

on the properties proposal

I take a deep breath

Taking a quick shower

A bath is not ideal right now

I walk out of the bathroom b

And grab my lotion

I lotion my body , and walk to

my closet
I grab the first two piece formal
suit I see

And put it on

I grab my black red bottoms

And put them on

I quickly make the bed , and

grab my bags
Walking downstairs

My helper walks in

We greet each other

Andi : clearly today you’re late

I laugh

Me : I tried to make the bed of

it
She smiles shaking her head

Me : I will see you later

Andi : bye , drive safe . And

good luck with your meeting

Me : thank you

I grab my car keys

And walk out heading to my car

I get in and drive out

My phone rings

I look at the caller and sigh

Eventually the call drops

But it rings again

I answer putting it on loud
speaker

Me : what ?

Ace : how long are you going to

ignore me ? Babe we need to
talk

Me : stop calling me that , and

just focus on your wife
Ace : I love you ,how long must I
say this ? Like how many times ,
do I have to tell you that I love
you ?

Me : well , I used to love you

Ace : babe don’t be like this

Me : I am being nothing , stop

calling me
Ace : please , let’s meet and talk

Me : I don’t want to talk to you

Ace : please , just time to talk to

you

Me : I don’t have your time

Ace : babe …
Me : you’re annoying , stop
calling me . And just move on

Ace : okay , I know you said you

need some time …

Me : I don’t …

Ace : let me give you time to

process everything …

Me : are you death ?

I stop at the red light

And a GD6 stops on the next

lane

I turn my head looking at the

driver

He looks my way and smiles

I shake my head
Looking ahead

Me : you’re like a broken record

right now , focus on your wife
and leave me alone . You made
me a fool , let me believe you
were a single man . And didn’t
belong to anyone , next thing I
find out you’re married and I am
being sued . You really annoy
me , and I hate you
Ace : I will cover the costs ,
please you don’t have to pay
her a cent . I am married to her
yes , but it’s you that I love

Me : you bore the shit out of

me , I am certainly not
desperate to be running after a
married man

The light turns green and I drive

through
Ace : but we are good together ,
and you know this

Me : we were , and that was

before I knew what a dick you
are

Ace : please , just give me a

chance

Me : no ! Stop calling me
He heaves a heavy sigh

Me : if you don’t stop , I will call

you in for harassment . Keep
doing this

Ace : I don’t want to lose you

Me : well , you long lost me .

The second I found out , you’re
married
I drop the call

And block his number

Ace bores me

I can’t believe that I even loved

his ass

I am such an idiot
Well , I was

But not anymore

I am many things

That I cannot even deny

But never a home wrecker

And this fool , misled me

And I actually believed him

From the first day we met

I remember I asked him if he

has a wife

And he said no

He had a girlfriend
But they broke up a few months

That was before we met

And he said he doesn’t have any

kids

I don’t know how the bastard

managed to juggle this

His work , me and his family

He has a wife

He has been married for six

years

He has three kids

Two boys and a girl

A whole family man

And I thought he was mine

Only I was fooling myself

I was too blind

And I got played

His wife found out about us ,

before I even suspected
anything

And woman is suing me

And I have a court date in a
month

I don’t even know how much I

will be charged

I can’t believe this nonsense

brought me so much mess

That I have to clean up ,

because I fucked him
As if I ran after his ass

I would never run after a

married man knowingly

Honestly , if it’s not just me

alone

Then rather I walk away

As simple as that
So how much more someone
who has a whole family

Some things are just not for the

rest of us

No matter how wild or crazy I

can be

I still have morals

And I carry them high

I haven’t lost my values

whatsoever

And I will always stand by that

Doesn’t matter how much I love

a man , I don’t do compromises
at all

If what a man does , doesn’t
suit me

Then it’s not for me

I am always ready to start afresh

Be it work or relations

If it doesn’t serve me well

I leave
And that’s just that

I wait to hear absolutely nothing

I just wish Ace can get that

through his head

That I am gone

And I will never look back again

That’s just not me

I don’t vomit

And go back

To eat the same vomit

I am most definitely not a dog

Ace can just forget about me

After the case

I never even want to see him

Not even by a mistake

The further he is away from me

Then the better , for all of us in

this scenario
My phone rings

And I hope it’s not him

With another number

Because he is capable , he has

done that before

I check the caller

And it’s not him

I answer the call

Me : babe

Andi : hey …so how are nerves ?

I heave a sigh

Andi : who happened ? You

don’t sound good
I laugh

Me : that douche bag Ace

Andi : mxm, him and his african

ass . What the fuck he want ?

We laugh

Andi : please , tell me you’re still

good and he didn’t ruin your big
morning. I mean , it’s your day
and nothing should disrupt it .
Not even Ace , especially not
him

Me : I am still good , but just

annoyed

Andi : don’t worry , and don’t

think much about him

Me : he is out of my mind , I am
telling you
Andi : good , don’t let him get to
you . He is nothing but just a
dick , and well we both know
there’s many of those out there
better even

Me : it’s been so long , I feel I

should just fuck him out of my
mind

She laughs
Me : just a random guy , to get
Ace out of my system

Andi : Ohhh ….now I know the

whore has come out to play ,
just play it safe and don’t catch
any feelings . We’re just
quenching the thirst , nothing
more

I chuckle
Andi : tell you what ? Get this
deal , and from there we’ll go
out and celebrate . You can fuck
whoever , and we move past
Ace like he never happened

Me : that sounds like a plan

Andi : let me love and leave you

Me : mcwah
Andi : toddles … mcwah mcwah

She drops the call

I take a sharp curve to the

building parking lot

Taking deep breaths , I need to

be on my best
.
.
~Ace
I take a deep breath

As the call rings once

And it drops

I know she has blocked me

again

I know she is angry

And I don’t blame her

I completely understand

I lied to her

And led her on

Knowing very well what was

happening

I just couldn’t bring myself to be

honest with her
As much as I wish I had done
that

Cause now , it seems like I have

lost the woman I love

I love my wife yes

But nothing like I love Bonang , I

can’t explain it
The way I feel about her

It doesn’t come any close to

how I feel about my wife

As much as I love her

Bonang completed me

And she made me feel in a

certain way
A way I have never felt before

I was so sure we would never

get caught

I really don’t mind taking her as

my second wife

But of course she would never

agree to that

Although , secretly it could have

I mean , she was never gonna
find out I am married

Until I had married her

And that was the whole plan

It failed miserably

When my wife found out

And she didn’t want to hear
anything

She just went to court

I don’t care about that

Bonang didn’t let it get to her

She’s moving with her life

And she’s not bothered

As much as I know she can
afford

Whatever amount she will be

charged

I will definitely pay it

Its not her fault that I fell in love

She’s just caught up in this

I don’t know what to do
anymore

How to win her back

I really don’t want to lose this

woman

She’s the best thing , that’s ever

happened to me
Having her just means the world
to me

And now she wants nothing to

do with her

I hate this

Everyday I miss her like crazy

Some days , I sleep outside her

house
Just hoping to see her

But I am never that lucky

Also I don’t want to end up

being labelled as a stalker

So I make sure I count my steps

I miss her though

Like today , I just wish she was
here

In my arms and ….

I take a deep breath

As she places her hand on my

chest

She looks at me and smiles

I let out a fake smile

Fifi : you’re up already ?

I nod

Fifi : I should get up , and

prepare the kids for school

Me : okay

She leans over pecking my lips

I have an urge to just push her
off , I can’t stand her sight any
longer

Having Bonang made things

easy

I could tolerate her , and I was

able to bare with her

~Ace
I don’t know what kind of a life
this is

I hate being home

I hate seeing my wife

Now I just feel like she’s

suffocating me

And I have no distraction

She’s just on my face twenty
four seven

I watch her as she gets up

Putting on her robe

She walks out

I quickly grab her phone

And unlock it
I dial her number

It rings , and I keep checking on

the door

That she doesn’t walk back

And catch me on her phone

Bonang : hello ?
Me : please don’t hang up , I …

Bonang : you’re starting to be

annoying now , you don’t listen
to me . Maybe you will listen to
the cops

Me : babe tlhem …(please)

She drops the call

I heave a sigh
And call her back

But it doesn’t go through, I

delete the history from the
phone

And place it back on the night

stand

I lay back down

Wondering what am I going to
do

Just to talk to her

I can’t keep calling her with

people’s phone

Its me she doesn’t want to talk

to
.

~Bonang
Ace is like a fly

That just won’t go away

And I am done entertaining this

I have a reputation to maintain

He wants me to lose what I have

worked so hard to achieve ,
over a dick
He is insane

I told him I am done with him

I don’t understand why he

keeps bothering me

I was hurt yes

Because I loved him

But not anymore

Right now I don’t give a damn
about him

I honestly don’t care

Hence I will start my day at the

police station

Whether they issue him a court

order
I don’t care

I just want him to stay away

from me

I don’t want to be dealing with

another stupid case

Especially over this

It is over and done with

I have accepted that

He needs to get that through his

thick skull

He has his wife

And family to focus on

But he is running after me

I didn’t take anything of his

And I don’t have anything that
his on me

I don’t get this

Maybe they police will be able

to get him off my back

I can’t tell him one thing over ,

and over and again
Its starting to be really annoying
at this point

And he probably thinks

That I don’t know what he has

been up to

As much as he thinks he is
smart

He is definitely not smarter

Well , than me

Because I was able to catch on

him

I never thought one day this

could be me

With an annoying ex

That just won’t go away

Worse , he is married

If he wasn’t married

I would try and understand

some things

But this one is a definite no for

me

And there’s no changing that

I don’t understand why he just
doesn’t get that

I am seriously just starting to

hate him more than anything

And I can’t believe I even loved

him , it all feels like just a bad
nightmare

I sign out

And grab my things

Officer : you can check your

things

Me : would anyone dare steal

from me ?

He looks at me
Me : I would burn this whole
prison down

Office : stay out of trouble

Carmichael

I chuckle

Me : I am reformed

Office : just leave

I walk out

And the sun blinds my eyes

Being in the hellhole for two

days

Before my release was crazy

I wasn’t let out

Just cooped up in there

And that dark room is not
pleasant at all

But then it’s me

I didn’t give a fuck whatsoever

I knew today I will be out

And I’ll see the sun again

I walk over headed to the gate

And I find Benge by the gate

She looks at me and smiles

Me : what the fuck !

She engulfs me in a hug

I tap her shoulder

She moves back

Benge : finally !

I shake my head

Me : let’s get the hell out of

here

We get in the car

She drives

Benge : where to ?

Me : I just want to take a bath ,

and have cold ones

She laughs

Its great to be out

Benge : that we can do

Me : what did I miss ?

Benge : not much , Sikes made

sure to be one our toes

I chuckle

Benge : he kept us in check ,

everything we did he was in the
loop . And I know he kept you in
on everything
Me : he did , though I know you
guys don’t trust him much

Benge : he is your guy , but if

you trust him enough . We can
give him some credit

I have so much to do , to get my

affairs in order

I walk in the police station

And fall in queue

With just two people in front of

me

They quickly get helped

And I head over greeting the

officer
She greets me back

Me : I am here to report
someone , this man is starting
to harass me . We dated , for a
while …

Her : a jealous ex ?

Me : not really , I didn’t know he

was married during the course
of our relationship
Her : you dated a married man ?
Don’t you know you get sued
for such ?

Me : well , I am well aware of

that . Because as we speak , the
wife is suing me . The point here
is the husband , he just can’t
seem to get the message and
leave me alone . He keeps
calling me , and he follows me
to my house . He parks there for
hours , and hours . I don’t want
drama , I just need you guys to
reprimand him

Her : mhm …

Me : if you cannot help me , say

so . And I will find means to take
care of him

Her : is that a threat ?

Me : take it however you want
to take it , because right now it
doesn’t seem like you’re
hearing me or taking what I’m
telling you serious

Her : who is this man ?

Me : Ace Thotobolo

Her : the business man ?

Me : it’s no secret , like I said his
wife is suing me

Her : alright , we’ll call him in

Me : just do whatever you have

to do , or better yet tell his wife
to tie him . So he can stop
following me around

I turn and walk out , heading to

my car
I get in

And drive off headed to the

office

I am still awaiting response from

my meeting yesterday

Even though I walked out of

that meeting
With my head high

Knowing I aced that proposal

And I know my capabilities

I will await their answer

But that doesn’t mean work

waits

I have to get to it
And that’s something that will
get my mind off things

Things being Ace

And his annoyance

And I hate that he can get to me

like this

When he really shouldn’t

I mean , he is nothing of mine
now

And I am over that man

I don’t feel anything for him

anymore

Feeling this hate , is just

delaying myself
And giving him some sort of
power over me

I need to get Ace out of my

system completely

And there’s only one way to do

that

Completely
.
.
~Ace
I look at the officer

I got a call

And they asked me to come in

I asked what it was about

And they said I should come in

If I don’t want them to pick me

I drove here

Thinking that maybe something

is wrong

With someone I know

Only to find out , it’s about

Bonang

I can’t believe this

I know she did mention cops

But I didn’t think she will go

ahead with it

I mean …it’s not like I was

harassing her

Officer : Mr Thotobolo , please

just have some dignity . If you
cannot respect yourself , at
least respect your wife . She
deserves that much , and so do
your kids . You’re a huge
business man , and you want to
ruin all of that because why ? All
of that , because of a woman
who wants nothing to do with
you . Right now he’s claiming ,
she didn’t know you were
married during the course of
your marriage . But trust me ,
women know these things . So I
bet my last thebe , that she
knew . And yet , she still
continued with you . Your wife is
suing her , why don’t you stay
away from Ms Tshimong ? Don’t
break your wife , over an
available woman . Tomorrow
she could be with another man

Fuck !

Just the thought of that ,

doesn’t sit well with me
I feel my chest closing up

And I get hot flushes

Officer : don’t make your wife a

laughing stock , please stay
away from Ms Tshimong . I
won’t hesitate to arrest you , if
you keep on pestering her . And
you should count yourself lucky
, it’s men like you that make the
rest of us despise marriage and
men . You should be happy , you
have an amazing family . The
law is easy on cheating men ,
because only the other woman
pays . When in actual fact the
man is wrong to both women

She just has an opinion , and

doesn’t know what she’s talking
about

Its what they do

And half the time

They have no idea

Its like they’re not human

beings like the rest of us

They don’t make mistakes

Nor do they fall in love

Or even know what it’s like , to
love someone truly

They’re just chasing the next

guy

That’s all it is to them

But I will stay away

Because she has gone this far

As to reporting me

I never thought she could , but

here we are

And it’s best that my wife

doesn’t know about this

Because she won’t be happy

that’s for sure

I know that
It’ll be like I am still
disrespecting her

Because she also doesn’t

understand this

I don’t think anyone does

I love Bonang

I love her to the extent

And I have never loved anyone

Like I love her

Not even my wife

Bonang completes me

If I could turn back the hands of

time
I would

And not get married to Fifi

Honestly , Bonang would be the

woman I chose

To bare my kids

To build a family with

To spend the rest of my life with

Right now I do remember my
father’s words

When he said I am too young

And I haven’t lived

I haven’t dated

I shouldn’t hurry to marry

But I didn’t listen

And I thought I knew what I was

doing

Look at me now

Right now , is the time I feel I

should be getting married . But I
blew that chance

Damn proud of myself

Well …I knew I will get it

But as more days passed

I just figured , maybe I fucked

I nod

Me : but I have a plan

Otukile : what ?
Me : we just do what we did ,
better and gain more money we
ever made

Benge : how do we do that ?

Me : it was risky to hit banks ,

now we can hit companies and
big store names

Otukile : Mr mene (man) , how

is that better ?
Me : we won’t need to clean
the money , because there
won’t be any big money we
carry cash . Listen , we will hit
art galleries and jewellery stores
. What we get there , we sell . I
already have contacts , of clients
and things in demand they need
. My rich European friends , are
in need of some bling. I am not
passing out on that gig , if you
two can’t handle it then I’ll be
on my own . Because I am doing
it either way

Benge : how certain are you ,

that this won’t bring attention
to us ?

Otukile : I am with you

I look at him

He chuckles
Otukile : what ? We vowed to
this life , and we know what we
do has no guarantees . And
anything can happen , and
nothing is certain . We haven’t
made any money , in the year
you have been inside . And I
know better than to doubt you

I look at Benge , and she heaves

a sigh
Benge : hear me well , I am not
saying you’re wrong. But I Just
don’t want us , to end up being
caught

Me : I got caught , because I

wanted to get caught. And I
knew I will be out , because I
know they’ll have no evidence
to back up what they said about
me . The heat was getting too
hot , something had to be done
She nods

Benge : I understand that

Me : then understand this ,I did

not just wake up and come to
this decision . Prison wasn’t
holding me back on anything , I
did what I needed to do . And
people owe me favours , I am
out now to collect . Sitting
around here , won’t help me
Benge : okay ! I am in

details soon

I head over to the mall

I have a meeting with my lawyer

I need my money back

I left this guy with everything I
owned

When I went to jail

And now that I am back

I will need everything back

Just bit by bit

Just so eyes are not on me

thing

attention on us , I am just a guy

I can’t believe she actually went
and reported me

Now I have to stay away from

her

Because I don’t want to go to

jail

As hard as that feels

I will have to oblige

And that means her moving on

Being with another man

And I don’t think that’s

something I can bare

I don’t even know how I’ll

manage to do that

Its fucked up
Seems like she was very much
aware

Of my moves

And what I was doing

As much as I thought I was

careful

Making sure I am not caught

That she doesn’t see me

She still saw me

Parking outside her home

Late at night

And leaving early morning ,

before she is up
Honestly I did all of that

For my peace sake

And also to be certain she’s

alone at night

And that no man comes to her

house

I was watching her

To see if she moves on or what

And thus far , there hadn’t been

any men

But now , I don’t know how I’ll

keep watch on her

How I’ll know what she’s up to

Who goes in and out of her

place
Who she hangs around with

Perhaps I need to move away

from the big city

And go back to a quite low

village

I put in the simcard I bought

And dial her number

It rings

And she answers

Bonang : really ?

So she knows it’s me

I mean ,I have been doing this

for a while
Its no shock she has caught on
with me

Me : I just want to apologize , I

am sorry things got this far . It
was never my intention to hurt
you

Bonang : I told you , I don’t do

married men. Yet you still lied
to me , because you saw how
much I loved you
Me : I am sorry , I will stay away
. And if ever things change , and
you somehow forgive me . I
would like us to start on a clean
slate , the plan was not to mess
up with you . I love you and
always will

never forgive what he did . This
man cost me that mining
contact , I lost millions. And I
lost a few clients , who’s wives
were against them doing
business with us . After the
whole suing thing came out

Andi : I am sorry babe , but you

bounced back

I nod

Andi : and Ace is a thing of the

past , tonight it’s all about you .
This affair chapter is closed ,
and for good
I smile

Now I can’t wait for the court ,

so I can pay his wife

And move on

My phone beeps

And it’s a bank notification

I pop my eyes

Andi : what ?

I show it to her

She laughs

Me : what is he trying to
achieve ?

Andi : well …
She shrugs

Its P100 K

Andi : to pay for the case

Me : I did not ask him to

Andi : but he did , so do that.

After all , it’s his shit that got
you into this mess
She’s right about that

Me : let me send it to you

I transfer the money to Andi

Me : I don’t want to keep his

money with me

Andi : this would be all sorts of

drama , if that woman ever tries
to come for you . And you throw
this in her face , how the
husband paid for you to pay her

We laugh

Me : your middle name is drama

sis

I want to stay away from them

.

~Trevor
Sikes : I would say divide these
funds

Me : I don’t want any of this

money tied to me

Sikes : so what are you going to

do ?

Me : there’s a garage on sale in

Maun , I will purchase that. But
under an alias
He nods

Me : and there’s a gap in

property , I want to buy in on
that . Keeping my name away

Sikes : there’s a few companies I

know , you can get in on two at
least

Me : you handle that

Sikes : and you keep the portion
that’s left , and you support
yourself

Me : mhm , I need to purchase

a house . I can’t keep moving
from hotel to hotel , I need
sometimes stable

Skies : that can be done , and

best you buy a recent one
Me : yeah ,I don’t want to deal
with many renovations

Sikes : good , I’ll get the ball

rolling on this

Me : sure

He gets up

Sikes : it’s good you’re out

I chuckle

Sikes : just try , and keep things

on a lowdown

Me : you don’t have to worry ,

half the time I don’t even know
what I pay you for . Except for
keeping my things safe

He laughs
Sikes : don’t mock me , I am just
a lawyer that you never get a
chance to put it good use

We shake hands

He grabs his briefcase and walks

out

I pay the bill , and walk out to

my car
I lean against it

Lighting up a cigarette

I take a few pulls

Some guy passes me by

And he asks for a smoke , I pull

out a new one for him
And hand him my lighter

Him : you’re Trev aren’t you ?

Me : and who wants to know ?

He lights up his cigarette

Him : Thebe

He holds his hand out

I shake it

Thebe : I just look up to guys

like you , ain’t nothing much . I
didn’t even notice you , until
you looked up at me

I chuckle , if only he knows what

he is envying
.

~Mr Man
~Insert 08
~Trevor
I look at him

And heave a sigh shaking my

head

Me : don’t envy the kind of life ,

that makes people envy you by
knowing who you are from
news . That you’re nothing but a
criminal , a thing that’s not
needed in society . Carrying
nothing but a ruined reputation
Thebe : life is hard out here ,
and not all of us were fed with a
spoon . People just make means
to survive , and who would dare
judge them knowing our reality

Me : mhm , where are you

headed ?

Thebe : walking around looking

for something , I left my
pregnant girlfriend home . She
is due soon , and I need to find
means . As it is , she was
supposed to have gone for a
check up . It’s risky pregnancy ,
but I cannot afford that . Public
clinics , help with nothing. If
every week , you have to visit
the facility

Me : how much do you need ?

He smiles
Thebe : don’t do that man , I
don’t take handouts . I’ll rather I
do something for you , in return
you pay me

Me : do you have any

qualifications ?

Thebe : I hold a degree in

property management
Me : ah , I don’t do handouts
laiteaka (my boy). So take this ,
and come meet me at Juventus
later on . I won’t keep you long ,
o gone go checker madam (so
you can check)

I hand him P1000 , and the

address of the club

Me : if you show up , I’ll know

you meant your words that you
don’t take handouts
Thebe : I will be there , and
thank you so much

I nod , and throw down my

cigarette

Stomping it with my foot

I get in the car

Throwing a gum in my mouth

I start the car , driving away

That man might just come in

handy for me

I’ll have to see how that works

out

It might be what I just need

.

~Bonang
We’re looking amazing

And definitely ready for our

night

The spa did wonders to USB

We got our hair and nails done

After our massages , and did

supper
Now we’re headed to the club

I have my phone off

I don’t want to be disturbed

I just want to have fun tonight

And let lose

Fuck a stranger if I have to

Its been a while

I am sure that little girl

Thinks we’re dead

The hand and toys don’t do

justice anymore, I need the real
thing
.
.
~Ace
I walk in

And the kids run to me

I kiss their cheeks

Holding their hands

Me : where is mommy ?

She walks in from the kitchen

Me : go upstairs to your room ,
I’ll be there to bath you

They run upstairs

I walk over to her

Me : please , let’s talk

I take her hand

We sit down

Me : I love you

She smiles

Me : I know I have hurt you , but

I love you . And I want this
family , I want you and our kids .
I am sorry , for everything I have
done to hurt this family . It was
never my intention
She smiles holding my hand

Fifi : I know , and I forgive you .

We’re past this

I heave a sigh

Me : I don’t want lies between

us anymore

Fifi : and that’s all I want

Me : remember the position I
was given , to head the branch
in Maunatlala ?

She nods

Me : I am thinking of taking it ,
so we can move away from all
this and start afresh

Fifi : you want us to leave ?

Me : this place will always be a
constant reminder of what I did
, and how I almost tore our
family apart . Being away from
here , might do us good

Fifi : we’re good now , I mean I

have forgiven you . And I don’t
bring it up , why do we have to
move ? Unless the position is
what you want
Me : I do want it , and I also
think it’s for the best

Fifi : is that your final decision ?

Or do I have a say in this ?

Me : you have a say , and I am

saying this so you can also give
it some thought

Fifi : have you accepted the

position ?
Me : I am considering to , and I
asked Pula if he has found
someone . He said no

Fifi : so he knows you’re

considering this ?

Me : yes

Fifi : I will sleep on it , leaving

here means erupting our lives
Me : I know

Fifi : I am not saying no , I will

think about it

Me : that’s all I’m asking

I peck her cheek , she lays her

head on my shoulder
.
.
~Trevor
Me : do you think you can
handle that ?

Benge : yeah …

A knock comes at the door

Me : yeah

The door opens

And Thebe walks in

I already ran my background
check on him

And I saw he is good

He is who he said he was

I don’t want nasty surprises

And I need to know who I am in

bed with
Me : leave us

Benge and the guys get up

walking out

Me : come through

Thebe walks over

He pulls a chair and sits down

Me : I thought you pulled a fast
one on me

He chuckles

Thebe : never

Me : listen , seeing that you

know I was insane for a while. I
have things I need to do , and I
don’t want my name tied on
them
Thebe : I understand

Me : I am going to buy into

property , and I need you to be
my middle man

He looks at me

I wonder if he is the right man

.

~Mr Man
~Insert 08
~Trevor
I glare into his eyes

As he looks at me

Me : can you handle that ?

Thebe : of course

He somehow looks shocked

Me : don’t disappoint me
Thebe : I won’t , I won’t thank
you so much . I didn’t even
think of this , I thought maybe
I’ll do some shady jobs for you .
But you’re seriously offering me
, a legit job . I won’t disappoint
you

Me : good , my lawyer will get in

touch with you . And he will go
over the details with you
Thebe : thank you

Me : now go , have a few cold

ones on the house . And don’t
fuck difebe (hoes) here , go
home

He laughs

Thebe : can I just take them

home ?
Me : whatever works for you

Thebe : once again thank you

Me : tell the barman I sent you

Thebe : thanks

He gets up and walks out

I head over to the glass walk

And look down , just looking
around the club

My eyes trail to the VIP section

And I catch a glimpse of her

She is dancing taking shots ,

clearly having fun

I move away from the window

And walk out of the office

I head down

Going into the VIP section

But I stand at a distance from

her , just watching her down
her glass
.
.
~Bonang
The night is turning up to be
amazing

I don’t remember when last I

drank this much

And had this much fun

Dancing my sorrows away

It was the best idea to come

here
Andi : damn …. We’re drunk

Me : I hope you have Uber on

speed dial

She laughs

Andi : we might not even have

to drive

I laugh
Knowing exactly what she
means

Me : let’s get one last bottle

Andi : I am coming

She heads down to the general

section

We have been getting our own

drinks
We don’t want to be given
things we don’t know

I sit down

And pour a pinch of salt on the

back of my hand

And lick it off

I take the last shot

And grab a silence of lemon

It sure kicks in

I lift my eyes

And catch a glimpse of your

typical township thug

And I wonder how I missed him

all night
When he is just right the table
next to us

He screams nothing but bad boy

And definitely is not my type

But for a night he can do

Shit !
Am I checking him out now ?

He is not even looking at me

I watch him as he gets up

And moves away from the guys

This one screams low life , but

who cares ?

Definitely not me
And I am not saying anything

But if he wants to fuck

I definitely wouldn’t say no

Bad boys are bad boys

And we can’t do shit about that

I mean , who are we to do
anything ?

Anyways , how did I even get to

this point ?

I am undressing this man with

my eyes

Oh shit !

I need to get a grip

And have a hold on myself

Before I lose any morals I still

have on me

The least I can do is find a

decent guy

That’s on my league
.
.
~An Hour Later
~Bonang
I am drunk now

And I know I have reached my

limit

Well , more like I have gone

above it

And I am feeling it

I look at Andi
And she looks done

Me : babe …honestly , we need

to leave

Andi : yeah ….cab is on speed

dial

Okay …

But like why does she have a

cab guy on speed dial ?
That doesn’t make sense
whatsoever

I grab her phone

And call the cab

Me : says will be here in 10

minutes

Andi : great
She’s slushed

I just hope , she doesn’t fall

asleep on the couch

Me : I am going to the ladies ,

please stay still

She winks

I laugh getting up
I walk over to the toilets

So glad there’s no line

I walk in

And find an unoccupied one

I get inside , and pee . When I

am done I wipe myself , and I
can’t get up
Like literally it’s so cool in here

The breeze is hitting me right

And I feel like I will definitely get

sober

I lean back

Just having a moment to myself

I hope Andi stays where she is

And I find her there

I am enjoying the coldness in

here

In the club is packed and just

full , and definitely hot we’re
sweating
.

~Mr Man
~Insert 09
~Trevor
A few minutes passes

And she’s in the toilet

I walk in

And only two are occupied

The other one opens

And the girl walks out

I head over to the other one

I open it

And she quickly opens her eyes

Her : get away …

I help her up , and she throws

herself on me
Her : whatever you do , don’t
hurt me

Me : I won’t hurt you , I think

you’ve had enough for the night
. Time to go home

Her : Mr mene ..gao nkitsi , ga

ke oitsi (man …you don’t know
me , I don’t know you)

I chuckle
Pulling up her panty and pants

She gasps

Her : you can’t touch me like

that

Me : I am not touching you , I

am just helping you get dressed
. So you can go back to your
friend , and go home
Her : mhm ….what do you want
?

She asks looking at me

Her : surely , you don’t walk in

club toilets and dress women
you don’t know . Unless we’re
your prey

Me : I am many things
I move back

Me : but definitely not a rapist ,

if I want to fuck you trust me
you’ll beg me to and I will

She swallows hard

Me : and believe me you , I will

fuck you . In your sober state of
mind
She licks her lips slowly

And takes a deep breath

I take her hand

And we walk out

Just as some girls walk in

She lowers her head down

I am sure she thinks they think

we just fucked

But I don’t care

We walk back to her friend

Who is up on her feet

Her : did you hurt her ?

What the fuck is wrong with
these women ?

Her : I swear , if you laid your

thug hand on her …

Her friend looks at her

And shakes her head

Her : Andi it’s okay , let’s go

That must be the friends name

Andi : what happened ?

Her : nothing , he found me in

the toilets let’s go

This Andi looks at me

Andi : okay hold on …

She walks over to me

And stands in front of me

Andi : so you go picking on weak

drunk women in clubs ? What
were you even doing in the
women’s toilets

I turn and look at her friend

Me : just leave
I turn and walk away from them

Going back to my office

Crazy women !

But my mind keeps trailing back

on that one

There was just something about

her
But I am being insane right now

I mean , she’s way above my

league

But then who am I ?

Something’s really don’t matter

to me

And I most definitely

Don’t look down on myself

No matter what

I can hit even on a whole

fucking president

I know what I am fucking

capable of

~Ace
The door opens

And she walks in

She walks over

And sits down on the bed

Me : what’s on your mind ?

She heaves a sigh

Fifi : I have been thinking about
what you said

Me : and ?

Fifi : if moving is what you think

will work best for us , then I say
let’s do it

I look at her
Slightly shocked

Because I didn’t expect her to

agree

I had already given up

That she will agree

Me : yeah ?

Fifi : yes , let’s go to Maunatlala

Wow !

I know this is not really what I

want

But maybe it is for the best

To be away from Bonang

Even though I know what that

means
She will date

She will move on

And I don’t want to see that

But also not seeing that

Wondering what she’s doing

and with who
It will hurt more

But hey , this move we should

just do it

And maybe we will find

ourselves there

And go back to what we were

Before all of this

Me : thank you

Fifi : it’s for our family

I hold her hand

Placing a soft kiss on it

Fifi : we will come back , when

it’s the court case . After that
we will go back to our lives
I heave a sigh

I don’t even want to say

anything about that

I’ll let her do what makes her

happy

Bonang will use the money I

gave her
.

~Trevor
I take a deep breath looking at
this file

And it has everything about her

First born of her parents

And has a brother that’s still a

varsity

She’s funding his education

She lost her father , while she
was doing her final year

Her mother is back in Talana

farm

They’re pretty well off

Her father was in transportation

So they grew up well

He offered them a good life

She’s in property

And runs one of the biggest

property companies in the
country

She’s well up there

And madly rich

I may be aiming high here

But what do I have to lose

taking my shot ?

Absolutely nothing

I don’t see why I should lose on

such a woman , even if my
chances are slim

And I am waking up with the

mother of all hangovers

I don’t know how people who

groove middle of the week do
this

Because right now I feel like shit

And I don’t see myself drinking
ever again

Okay …maybe I am lying to

myself

I will drink again

But maybe not as much

Last night was insane

And we took it far honestly

I don’t even want to know how

Andi is

I mean , I just got to my house

and slept

Without even checking in on

each other
The cab driver brought us to our
homes

I don’t even recall half that ride

home

And to think I have work

Yeah , it was not a wise choice

to go clubbing last night

Definitely the worst

I hope I have learnt my lesson

And it shall never be repeated

again

Especially not in this manner

I slowly get up

And make my bed

I need pills for a headache

And a black strong cup of coffee

I definitely do need caffeine

To get me by this morning

If there’s anything I will do right

I walk over to the bathroom

And I take a cold shower

Just to wake myself up

I grab a towel , and walk out of

the shower drying myself

Head over to the bedroom , I

lotion
.

~Ace
I am happy my boss agreed to
give me this

So it’s final

We’re going to Maunatlala

I hope this will be a fresh start

For me and my wife

With our kids

To try and find ourselves

Maybe with Bonang away

I will finally be able to focus on

my wife

And just focus on my kids

Being the family man

That I have always been

Before she got in the picture

Me : I think we should just list

this house

She looks at me

Me : it would be better we sell it

, if we ever decide to come back
here . We will buy a new one
Fifi : we have made some many
memories here

Me : I know , but we can always

build many more memories
where we are going

Fifi : okay , we’ll probably need

a better house where we are
going . The money from this one
, might come in handy
Me : it will , so I will get in touch
with the estate agent

Fifi : hopefully , the selling price

won’t be low

I laugh

Me : this house , costs over half

a million . I won’t lower it for
anything
Fifi : okay , I will start packing

I place a peck on her cheek

She smiles

And gets up walking to the

bedroom

I never saw myself leaving

Gaborone
But here I am

I’ll rather avoid trouble

Than be in the centre of it all

I have done enough to Fifi

And our family , the least I can

do right now is try
And this is me taking that leap
of faith

I take a deep breath

Grabbing my phone

I need to call the estate agent

So the house can be placed on

sale
If things were good between
Bonang and I

I would approach her for this

But she’s a definite no

Especially because I am leaving

for her , she won’t help me
even if it’s business
.
.
~Bonang
I walk in my house

And frown at the cup of coffee

on my desk

And there’s a bunch of roses

My mood just drops when I

think about Ace

I walk over
And pick up the note

“After a night of shots , best

medicine is coffee”

I find myself smiling reading the

note

And the coffee is still hot

I pick up the roses

They smell divine

Whoever sent this , is someone

who saw me last night

Could it be him ?

I quickly walk out of my office

And head down to reception

Me : Didi
Didi : ma’am

Me : did anyone drop anything

for me ?

Didi : no

Me : so no one walked passed

here , and went into my office ?

Didi : not since I have been here

Mhm !

If it’s him , then how did he pass

through ?

Me : okay , thanks

I walk outside

Hoping I will see something

But I don’t even spot anyone
who looks like him

I take a deep breath

And walk back inside

Heading to my office

Maybe I am just overthinking

It could be anyone
Who was in that club

And happened to know me

As for him , I don’t think he

even has an idea of who I am

Yeah …

There’s no way it’s him

And that just dampens my
mood

I hoped and prayed with

everything in me

That it’s him

Turns out that’s just not

possible

I walk back in my office

I take a deep breath

Looking at the roses and coffee

I sit down on my chair

Holding the card in my hand ,

just getting lost in thought .
Asking myself who left these

She says walking in

And she places the gift bag on

I look at her

Andi : picked it up , at reception

Me : this is tiring
She laughs

Andi : girl , you are being

spoiled

Me : by a stranger I don’t know

Andi : at least you’re being

spoiled , I don’t remember the
last time a man bought me
something
I laugh

Me : this is a man I don’t know ,

that’s if it’s even a man

Andi : well it is , the gifts are

evident

Me : I thought it’s the guy from

the toilet club
She laughs

Andi : that man is beneath you

Me : well …he looked handsome

as fuck

Andi : don’t tell me you caught

his eyes

Me : well
She laughs

Andi : well , good thing you

never saw him again

I feel judgment when it comes

And this is it

Me : well nothing happened

Andi : and should never happen

I look at her

Andi : I mean , he looks like a

township thug

I let out a fade smile

Andi : let me go , we’re still on

tonight ?

Me : yeah
Andi : I was just passing through

Me : see you later

Andi : bye

She walks out

I take a deep breath , grabbing

the gift bag
Its been a month receiving gifts

That I have no idea where they

come from

Or who sent them

And it would sound crazy

To say whoever it is has creeper

into my heart
I have to fetch my car from the
dealership

I’ve called a cab

And I have a meeting in the

afternoon

I grab my bag

And the gift bag walking out of

my office
Walking out of the building

A scent of cigarettes graces my

nostrils

I turn my head and there he is

Leaning against a GTI

In jeans , a t-shirt and sneakers

He looks so casual

Yet so good

Him : don’t you greet ?

I smile

Me : what are you doing here ?

Him : to pick you up

I look at him

Him : you don’t want to be late

for your meeting

Me : how did …are you stalking

me ?

Him : no , I just made it my

business to know
He opens the door to his GTI

Me : no thanks , I have a can

picking me up

Him : cancelled it , let’s go

I look at him in shock

But somehow it’s enticing

A man that takes control

He is everything

I sigh

And open up my phone

And I see the cab is cancelled

I take a deep breath , heaving a

sigh
And I walk over to his car

Me : who are you ?

Him : Trevor , but you can call

me whatever you want to call
me

He throws a gum in his mouth

And I gaze at his lips

And damn !

Trevor : we’re in each other’s

spaces , you can take whatever
you want to take

I lift my eyes to his

And he has this intense stare

He moves closer to me
Trevor : shall we ?

He closes the gap between us

And I feel his deep breath on my

face

I swallow hard

As he leans over

I close my eyes
Anticipating his lips on mine

But he doesn’t kiss me

I open my eyes

And he is just inches away from

my face

Trevor : I loved you the first day

I saw you
That takes me my shock

Trevor : I don’t wanna toy with

you

Me : I …

Trevor : if you need time to

think about it , I can do that .
But I am tired of being in the
shadows now
Me : you …it’s been you

He nods

My heart beats hard

Me : why didn’t you say all

along ?

Trevor : I am saying it now

I am happy that it’s been him

At the same time

I am sad

Why did he keep quite

And made sure I don’t see him

I am out of my thoughts
As his lips grace mine

And he takes over my mouth

like he owns it

He devours my mouth with his

I respond back to the kiss with

the same passion

Feeling wetness down there

Girl is dripping

He presses me against his car

As I feel his groin on my lower

abdomen

I deepen the kiss

Letting out slight moans into his

mouth
After a few minutes we pull out

I feel deprived

Trevor : now you’re mine

Fuck !

He motions for me to get in the

car
He takes my hand and helps me
in

Taking my bags

He places them on the back

seat

And he jogs to his side getting in

He drives out
Taking my hand into his

We are in comfortable silence,

stealing glances at each other

Trevor : have your car taken

home , after your meeting I’ll
pick you up

I say nothing

Me : we have 10 pounds of fish ,

going out . So we’ll have to get
cracking at dawn

Otukile : couldn’t we have used

something else ? Like fish smells
mr mene (man)

We laugh
Me : it’s our only way

Otukile : one would need a

shower for ten days straight

Benge : more like a scrub

Me : get on with it

I look at my watch
Me : I have somewhere to be ,
I’ll check in for far you are

Benge : I will stay and help the

guys

Otukile : you’re one of the guys

Benge : fuck off

Me : hey …
I shake my head off

Me : I don’t have to stress how

important this is , we need to
move this jewellery before the
cops even think of us

Otukile : we will get on with it

Me : you’ll smile when you get

paid in Euros , girl will even love
your fish smell
They burst out laughing

Otukile : say no more , I will

slide those fishes like I was born
a fisher

Benge : the fuck

They laugh

Me : just work
Benge : the guys are ready

Me : I’ll see y’all at dawn

They all nod , i walk out

And get in my car , driving out

hopefully I catch her in time . I
have a detour to take
.
.
I arrive at the house

And find the estate agent

waiting

Me : hi , sorry I got held up

She smiles

More like blushes

I frown
Me : the contract

Her : oh …yes

She hands it to me

I sign the contract

She hands me the keys to the

house
Her : welcome to your new
home , and congratulations

Me : mhm

I turn and get back in my car

driving out

I check the time , and I am still

right on time

~Bonang
Throughout my whole meeting

I just couldn’t wait for it to end

I can’t believe what happened

earlier on

It still feels like a dream

I feel like pinching myself , to

see I am still awake
I am burning to call Andi and tell
her this

But I know my friend

She will go all mom mode on

me

And I am happy

I don’t need my mood messed

with
I walk out of the restaurant

And he walks over from his car

Me : I hope I didn’t make you

wait long

Trevor : for you , I can wait

I smile
He takes my hand

And pecks my lips

Moving in for a deep kiss

I kiss him back

Not even caring we’re in a

public space

After a while he pulls out

And takes my hand to his car

He opens the door for me

I get in

It doesn’t even feel like I’m in a

GTI

The way he is just handling me

Like such a gentleman

I don’t care that the car is even

a GTI

Knowing the reputation guys

with such a car's have

He gets in

And takes my hand

While he drives with another

Trevor : I am taking you

somewhere first , then I’ll drop
you at your house

Me : okay

I just agree , not even wanting

to know where we are going

As long as I’m with him

But all that changes

When I see the neighbourhood

he is driving into

I look at him

Wanting to ask

But I just can’t seem to get the

words out of my mouth
I know this place

As he parks by the get , opening

the gate with the gate remote in
his hand

My hands sweat

Trevor : your hand is shaking

Me : what are we doing here ?

Trevor : I am not going to harm
you

Me : then …what are we doing

here ?

He drives through

And I know for a fact who’s

house is this
I look at him

As he parks the car

I remember being here once

And that man had fooled me

So much that he cleaned the

house clean

Of everything of his family

So much that it looked like he
was staying alone

He parks the car and we get out

He takes my hand walking to the

door

He unlocks and we walk in

Well …it’s empty

But I know what I know

Trevor : I bought this house

today , and I wanted you to be
the first person I bring here

He smiles

And I appreciate the gesture

Makes me feel somehow special

Trevor : you don’t like it ? We
can always change it

Me : I ….

I take a deep breath

Trevor : if maybe it feels like I

am moving too fast , I can take a
step back . I know we just …
Me : no …no , just this house

Trevor : if you don’t like the

house , it’s not a problem

He smiles pecking my lips

Me : my ex used to stay here

He looks at me

And I can’t read his expression

I take a deep breath

I guess now , I’ll have to come

out with the truth

And just be honest

So soon , into a relationship

taking that this is one
.

~Bonang
Me : Uhm ….I used to date
someone . And I believed he
was single , because he said so .
Only to find out , he is married .
And his wife is suing me as it is ,
I am attending the case in a few
days

Trevor : you didn’t know ?

Me : no , I didn’t . And I asked

him , he assured me
Trevor : but now it’s over right ?
Because I don’t share

Me : it’s been over for a while , I

don’t do married men . I am
not a home wrecker , and that
goes for you as well

He smiles

And briefly kiss me

Trevor : the only woman I am
marrying is you

I blush

Trevor : well , the house is not a

problem . I can always buy
another one , today

What ?
Maybe I sure judged him too
soon

But Trevor doesn’t looked like

he has billions stashed
somewhere

Me : no , it’s your house you

bought it . There’s no need for
another one

The way he gazes his eyes

I can’t seem to get a hold on
myself

Trevor : if you don’t like this one

then , maybe you can help me
find one

I smile

Me : no , it’s fine . Just change it

Trevor : I can do that

He pulls me closer

Laying my head on his chest

I wrap my hands around his

back

Me : all of it

Trevor : consider it done

I lift my eyes up looking at him

He lowers his lips into mine

We kiss

He turns me around , I lean

against the wall

His hands trailing all over my

body
And it’s giving in his touch

He slides my skirt up to my
waist

He picks me up into his arms

I wrap my legs on his wait

Sliding my heels off

And he rubs his finger on my clit

I let out moans into his mouth

He deep grunts

As he slides my panty to the

side

And he slide his finger on my

open
Finger fucking me slowly

I am dripping wet

And longing

Its been a fucking long time

Since I’ve had a man handle my

body

And with just his touch

My whole body reacts to him

He slides his fingers through my

flaps

I grind on his finger

Until I break down in an orgasm

I unbuckle his pants

Lowering them down

And his dick springs up

He grabs it

And rubs it on my open

Trevor : stop me now …

Me : I want you so bad

He slides through

And I flinch in pain

As he tears through me

I hold tight on him

And he takes deep slow thrusts

Pleasure surpasses the pain

As he rubs on my clit with his

one hand

And he picks up his pace

Fucking me thoroughly

His head tapping a sweet spot in

me
My thighs shake against him

And I lose myself

Squirting , as his dick keeps

going in and out of me

Me : Ohhh ….Trev ….fuck baby

….

He thrusts in deeper
I orgasms breaking in pleasure

And he walks over to the

kitchen counter

Still buried deep inside of me

Places me on the counter

And lifts my leg to his shoulder

His thumb on my clit

He rubs on my clit with his
thumb

While I look down , as his dick

goes in and out of my coochie

Trevor : fuck !

His cum drips

He lets me down the counter

He turns me around

I place my hands on the counter

And he parts my legs

Taking me from behind

I scream in pleasure , as I feel

him pounding in harder
I slide my hand underneath

And rub on my clit

Moving my ass back meeting his

pace

My legs shake

I lean on the counter

As I squirt
And he doesn’t stop pounding
in

Holding me tight

So I don’t lose my balance

Tears stream down my face as I

feel more pleasure
.

~Trevor
I caress her back

We’re at her house

I am parked on the drive way

And she is laying on me

Me : I love you

She hugs me tight

I chuckle

Bonang : I love you

Me : you have been awfully

quite

Bonang : what if you leave , and

you never come back ?

I chuckle
Me : why would I do that ?

She shrugs

Bonang : I ditched my best

friend for you , and she’s not
going to be happy

I look at her

Me : blame me
She smiles

Bonang : spend the night

I raise my eyebrow

Bonang : I don’t know anything

about you , you took me to your
house you bought today . That’s
empty , what if tomorrow
you’re not there ? Where will I
find you , I don’t even have your
number . But you can always
block me

I chuckle

Me : Mrs Carmichael , did dick

just turn you to be a cry baby so
fast ?

Bonang : stay the night , cuddle

and fuck me through the night
I lean over smashing my lips on
hers

Me : whatever you want , and

I’ll tell you what you want to
know about me

Women ! This escalated fast , I

never saw it coming

~Trevor
I lay down my seat down

And she slides over

Getting on top of me

Unbuckling my pants

She lifts her dress

Sliding her panty to the side

And she lowers herself down on
my length

Slowly moving her waist

And she takes my length all in

Riding me slowly

I slide my hand to her coochie

Rubbing on her clit

And she throws her head back

Letting out moans of pleasure

I thrust in beneath her

Placing my hand on her waist

Me : fuck
I feel grunt

As she moves her waist in

circular motion

Me : Mrs Carmichael ….fuck …

She picks up her pace

Her walls close in on my dick

Gripping hard

My dick thickens inside of her

walls

Me : shit ….

I shoot up my seed inside of her

She lifts her ass up a bit

I thrust in deep inside her

Bonang : ahhh baby ….

Her thighs shake against mine

And she graces my dick with her

cum

She leans over to my chest

And pants hard against my chest

I plant a soft kiss on her
forehead

Bonang : I love you

She clings tight on me

I chuckle

Letting her rest

.
.
~Bonang
I caress my hand on his chest

Me : are you sleeping ?

Trevor : no

Me : so what do you do ?

Trevor : do you want the truth

as it is , or just what you’re
hoping to hear ?
Do I really ?

I mean , I have already made

assumptions about him

I doubt he even holds a certain

position

Me : what you can tell me

He chuckles
Trevor : I just take from
undeserving people , who take
from others

I frown

Me : you steal from others ?

Trevor : Mrs Carmichael , I take I

don’t steal . There’s a difference
, the same way as the law has a
different view on what I do
Me : have you ever been
arrested ?

Trevor : yes

Me : what did you do ?

Trevor : what I do

Okay !
I guess some things , I also don’t
want to hear

Some details are better off kept

from me

Me : and you’re certain you’re

not married ?

He laughs

Me : and no girlfriend ?
Trevor : the only wife here is
you

Call me silly

I don’t know why that is giving

me chills

And butterflies in my stomach

I look at him
Me : don’t hurt me , because I
have been hurt before . And I
don’t want to go through that
pain , ever again

Trevor : I am not going

anywhere

I let out a smile

He lifts my leg
And rubs his dick on my wet slit

Slowly he slides through

I gasps as he opens me up

And he thrusts in

He tilts my face , and smashes

his lips in mine
I respond to the kiss

And he deepens the kiss

Thrusting in deeper picking up

his pace

I hold tight on him

As he pounds inside of me
.

~Ace
I have been trying to settle well

And I must say it’s been a

challenge

And I keep on moving back

Checking on Bonang

Stalking her socials

But mostly it’s business

Somehow that gives me hope

That maybe she hasn’t moved

on

I don’t know how I’ll be able to

handle that

I never knew that loving

someone is like this
And now that I feel it

Damn !

Love hurts

We’re going to go to Gaborone

tomorrow

For the case

I have mixed emotions

And I don’t know how I am
going to feel when I see her

A part of me didn’t want to go

But I don’t want to create

drama

Because it’ll be like , I don’t

want to go why
Me : since the money for the
house has come in , what do
you think we should do with it ?

She looks at me

She’s packing our bag

For when we leave tomorrow

Fifi : we can use a bigger house

I look at her

Me : this house is
accommodating us fine

Fifi : are we settling here , or

this is just a temporary thing ?

I swallow hard

Fifi : because if you’re still

unsure , then maybe we
shouldn’t have left to even
begin with

Me : that’s not what I am saying

Fifi : then what ?

Me : we’re settling here

That’s a lie

I don’t want to stay here forever

I’ll say anything to get out of an
argument

Fifi : then yes , we need a bigger

house . And I can start a
business , so I can generate
income we well

Me : what kind of a business ?

Fifi : I’ll think about it

Me : okay , we’ll look at the
house

Fifi : okay

I keep quite

I don’t want to say more , I’ll

just see how this pans out

Waking up

And I was all alone in bed

I don’t know when he left

I didn’t even feel him leaving

the bed

But I got to work

And found my breakfast

Fresh and warm as always

I still don’t have this man’s

number

But I am saying he is my man

The door opens

And Andi walks in

I take a deep breath

She sits down

I know she is not happy

Me : hi babe , I am sorry about

last night . But I will make it up
to you

She keeps quite

Me : truth is I forgot

Andi : what ?

Me : I blame nopa mma (horny)

She laughs

Andi : seriously you ditch me ,

because you were playing with
toys
Me : the real thing

She pops her eyes

Andi : what man is this ?

Me : the club guy

Her facial expression changes

Andi : I hope that’s a joke , not

only is he a township thug . But
he is beneath you , and he is
young

Me : he is young yes , but he is

not my child . And he is young ,
but we’re fucking and not
fighting

Andi : what the hell ?

Me : you’re my friend , and I

love you . But please don’t
judge him , and you don’t even
know him to have an opinion
about him

Andi : wait ….you love him ?

Me : yes , I love him . And we’re

in a relationship

Andi : that was fast

Me : I know
Andi : you’re serious about this
? You’re even protecting him ?

Me : yes , so please let’s not

step on each other’s toes
especially when it comes to our
partners

Andi : fine ….rate from 0 to 10

I smile
Me : 110

She laughs

Andi : you’re gone beyond , this

is what good dick goes

I laugh

Me : mhm
Andi : you owe me though

Me : I know , and I’ll make it up

to you

Andi : I don’t like him though

I laugh

Me : you don’t have to , he is

mine and not yours . Just keep
your options to yourself
She gets up

Andi : this I have never seen

I chuckle

Andi : he better not hurt you ,

or else I will make it my
business

Me : I love you too

Andi : leave me alone

She laughs walking out

I take a deep breath

Leaning back on my chair

Getting lost in thought

I wonder if he will come back

I mean

He wouldn’t pull a fast one on

me would he ?

But then , anything is possible

with men . I should have taken
his number

Arriving in Gabs

We booked into a hotel

And now we’re waiting for

tomorrow

The day of the case

Fifi : I just want this over and

done with
If she didn’t start any of this , to
even begin with

None of it will be happening

But of course

I can never say that to her

It’ll cause drama , so best I keep

quite
Fifi : I am starting to love our
lives in Maunatlala

Me : mhm

Fifi : yeah , it’s nice . Even

though I never saw myself
leaving the big city

Me : it grows on one

Fifi : yeah
Me : what time do we leave
tomorrow ?

Fifi : at 08:00 , our case is for

09:30

Me : okay

Fifi : we’re leaving right away

after the case
Me : oh

Fifi : yes , unless you want to

remain here for something

Me : no

Fifi : then , after court we are

leaving

Me : okay
I should drop the whole court
talk

Me : where are we eating

tonight ? Or should we order in
here ?

Fifi : let’s go out

I nod slowly
.

~Trevor
I drop the call and look at them

Me : the packages have landed

safely , a very well done job on
the fishes

They laugh

Otukile : please don’t mention

that

I laugh
Me : listen , I’ll wire you the
money as soon as the bank
releases it . And you pay the
guys

Benge : can’t wait

Me : I have to get going , while

at it do think about that gig .
Honestly , with heavy
machinery like that . We can hit
the jackpot , and they’re easy
accessible

Otukile : I am in , just as long as

I won’t have to slice fish again

I chuckle

Me : I’ll see you

I walk out
And head to my car

I get in and drive out

Headed to her place

Having not talked to her the

whole day

I know she is not happy

She can’t be
Considering how clingy she was
last night

And damn …

I should have called her

I was so caught up with the

delivery

I lost track of time

Even though I did make sure she
was sent lunch

I know she’s home by now

Well , that’s if she didn’t go out

with her friend

I didn’t keep track today

I take a deep breath

He opens the door for me

I walk out

He takes my hand

I look at him

I was so angry yesterday

For the fact that I didn’t see
him all day

And I thought maybe he ditched

me

But he made sure to come see

me later on

And he made it up to me
He took me out

We had dinner

And it was great honestly

Until I saw Ace and his wife

And that fool couldn’t stop

gawking at me

Trevor kept my cool

Because he was holding my
hand throughout the whole
dinner

Ace and his wife left the

restaurant way fast

And we stayed

And enjoyed our dinner

From there , we went to my
place

And he spent the night

Making love to me all night long

That made me even forget that I

was angry at him

We’re at court now

And he has accompanied me

Andi is here already

I am thankful for having them

Andi has the money

And whatever I am charged

I told her to send that woman

the whole P100K
I don’t want it

And I don’t need it

Trevor : you okay ?

I nod

Trevor : you got this , and you’re

not here alone
He takes my lips into his

And we kiss

After a few minutes we pull out

Trevor : you got this Mrs

Carmichael

My lawyer approaches us
.
.
~Ace
I am so pissed off right now

And I regretted coming here

And the whole dinner last night

How can she do such ?

And having to parade such a

young guy around

Without shame
What happened to old men her
age

Like she has no shame at all

This is what I left her for

To whore around

I just want this fucking case over

So we get the hell out of here

She will fucking remember me

When this low life deals with

her

He will chew her

And spit her out

Like she is nothing

He even drives a fucking GTI

Like what the fuck is that ?

She has lowered her standard’s

beyond

Like damn ! A whole downgrade

for a woman of her calibre
.
.
~Bonang
I look at my mother as she walks
in

I am asking myself why she’s

here

I didn’t tell her to come

Like this woman

And she is gawking her eyes on

me
I don’t mind that she is here

Because she knows about this

whole nonsense

I guess she thought she should

come and support me

Well , it’s very much

appreciated
At least , I know that I have their
support

And I most definitely don’t feel

alone here

Although , I know my mother

I know how she is , this might

just be a visit to support me
.
.
~Ace
The nerve , to even bring this
guy here

As some support system for her

Bonang has no shame

I can’t believe this is the woman

I was begging

That she forgives me and all

And that we would make things
work

She couldn’t wait for me to fuck

up

So she can whore around with

young boys

Fifi : I cannot believe that judge

, what the hell was that
judgement for ?
I look at her

Fifi : P45k , well I hope you can

keep your zip up

I have a sigh

Me : I apologized for this , I

don’t know what more you
want me to say
Fifi : don’t ever bring me such
nonsense ever again in my
house

Me : mhm

I open the car door for her

She walks inside

And I head over to my side

I get in

And start the car driving ,

headed back to the hotel

Her phone beeps

She looks at it , and gasps in

shock

Fifi : what ?
I look at her

She shows me her phone

I look at the bank notification

Fifi : why would she pay me a

P100K ? When the judge
ordered her to pay me only
P45K . What is she trying to
prove …that maybe I am
desperate for her money ?
Me : she paid you , just let it go
errll ….

She looks at me popping her

eyes

Fifi : did you just …

Me : yes , just let it go . We’re

done with this , and we should
never ever speak about it
I could care less

But she had to send her the

whole P100K I sent her

Clearly she wants nothing to do

with me

She’s happy with her toy boy

Why give the whole amount ?

She could have just told me that
she doesn’t want it

But she kept it to this day

Only to give it back to my wife

I am so done with this , like I am

over it . And heading back home
.

~Mr Man
~Trevor
I look at her holding her hand

Me : your mother is here , so I

will see you later

She smiles

I take out my phone

And send her money

She takes out her phone

And looks at me

Bonang : and then ?

Me : go spoil yourself , have

some fun with your mother and
I’ll see you later

Bonang : give me your number

I chuckle
Me : I’ll call you

Bonang : babe ….

Me : I will call you

Bonang : P70K won’t make me

not miss you

I laugh
Me : stop being stubborn , this
dick is yours . Ain’t no woman
that’s gonna have access to it , I
am giving you time with your
mother

Bonang : fine

Me : I love you

Bonang : I love you

Me : you need to stop fighting
with me , for what’s yours

She engulfs me into a tight hug

Me : I will see you later

Bonang : bye

I beak out of the hug

Me : later
Bonang : mhm , I am not saying
goodbye so you can remember
to call me

I laugh

Otukile stops by with the

Ranger

Me : that’s your ride

She looks at it

And looks at me

Bonang : that’s yours ?

Me : I should let you have a look

at them all

She laughs

Bonang : why act poor ?

I chuckle…

Me : let me go

Otukile walks over with the car

keys

And he greets

She greets back

And hands the keys to her

Bonang : thank you

He nods and gets in the GTI

I peck her lips

And get in the car as well

Andi : how did this happen
…because I thought he is a poor
thug ?

I look at her

Andi : I am sorry , but I am just

saying

Me : stop

Mom : that boy looks so young

Me : mama (mom) please

Mom : I am just saying it like it is

, but I am not judging you my
baby . If you love them young ,
and dangerous . Its your choice ,
just that he’s not someone i
would have ever dreamt of as a
son in law

I laugh
Me : I did not say we’re getting
married

Mom : you must be dick crazy …

Me : ma !

I pop my eyes

Andi laughs
Mom : that’s the only reason
why , you would be with
someone like him

Me : someone like him ?

Mom : he is handsome , I
cannot deny that . As long as
you’re happy and satisfied , but
with his kind always expect
anything . Tomorrow he might
be in jail
Me : he is not ….

Mom : it’s written all over his

face

This woman !

This is too much

Me : can we just go spend his

money , and stop discussing him
Andi : why are you so happy ,
that he gave you money ? Its
not like you lack any of it

I laugh

Me : a man’s money always

taste better

Mom : doesn’t matter how

much you as woman has
We laugh

Andi : I lack what this man has

given you

I give her the side eye

I don’t even know why we’re

talking about such

Especially with my mother here

But I am happy

Despite who he is

And what he does

I read a bit about his

shenanigans , but I’ll definitely
stick through

For as long as he has me

Perhaps this is the beginning of
something beautiful

And I don’t want to miss out on

it

Just because he is young , and

doesn’t hold an office job
