Book 1

To say life has been hard

would be an understatement.
For the past 2 years have been
nothing but hell. From my
mom passing away, to me not
being able to go to varsity
because I don’t have tuition
money.
“ baby…why don’t you just
meet me in the middle….”
That’s my alarm, time for me
to wake up and go to work.
Well I wouldn’t say it is work
but what can I say? I really
need the money as I am
saving up for varsity. With
the money I am earning, I will
be able to pay for a two year
tuition but that will be possible
in the next two years, so I am
looking at about 7 years
before I become a civil
engineer.
I woke up did my hygiene
process and wore my uniform,
plain black jeans and a black
tee with the shops logo. Off to
work I went.

************************
**************
It was a long day, but I have 2
hours of rest before I go to my
second work place. Yep…. I
have two jobs. /cashier at a
shop on West Street in Durban
and a waitress at a club
around Durban also. So, I
went to the club and went to
the worker’s relief room and
took a nap for an hour then
woke up, went to the showers,
freshened myself up then wore
my uniform. I always make
sure to pack it in my back
pack when I go to work in the
morning.
It’s a black leather mini skirt,
those one button cardigans
(black) and my white slip-on
heels. Don’t ask me why we
have a uniform as such but ke
sothini? We need the money.
The club opens at 6o’clock. I
headed to the bar area.
Thabang: chomie you look
yummie
Me: awukahle mngani
ukudlala ngami, anyways
are there any announcements?
Thabang: nothing big, just
that big boss is coming today
and you don’t know him.
Chomie!!! He is yummier than
you ndikuxelele. He is a
Roman God mngani loya

Kodwa my friend he is
something else shame, yep he
is gay. My bestfriend.

Me: if you say so babe, but I

don’t think I will see him phela
it is Friday and you know its
about to be packed
Thabang: you don’t have to
remind me, see you later
chomie, well I hope.

I went to my station and

started dusting the tables and
fixing the chairs and 30
minutes later people were
coming in numbers. I quickly
went to check the relief roster
and I saw no one had a free.
Gosh…… I went to the entrance
and immediately a group of
guys and ladies entered.
Me: good evening, I am Yah
and I will be your waitress for
the rest of the night.
Guy: nice meeting you Yah.
Me: let us go this way. I led
them to the biggest table in the
section because there was 15 of
them.
Me: can I get your orders, or
you will call me when you’ve
settled?
Girl: Moet, Ice Tropez (12) and
Savannah (12) for us, right
babe?
Guy: yeah yeah, that.
Anything you want.
Girl: that will be all ngane,
sungahamba.

Yhoo yaze yangeyisa

intombazana but I kept the
smile and went to the bar.
Thabang: bad start?
Me: and-ike….. yaz the girl
was like,”sungahamba ke
ngane”. Hhayi-bo enginikwa
ubani, but ngzomyeka

Thabang: myeke mngani,

these gold diggers go crazy
when they see money
nalabantu babo abanzinto
ezilingana no cikicane wami

Dead!!! We burst into

laughter. Woooh hhayi
Thabang is crazy shame
“ angin’ holeli ukuthi
nisineke into engekho”
A deep bold voice said.
I looked at Thabang with my
eyes widely open. He looked
like he saw a ghost too. After a
while.
Thabang: whew! He is gone.
Me: who was that?
Thabang: usabuza? He is the
big boss.
The music stopped.
“ attention staff, the roster has
been changed. Please look it up
now for changes.”
Me: othi ngikushiye babe. See
ya.
I rushed with the order back to
the group then went to check
the roster. shit! VVIP. Isn’t that
the top peoples lounge. Nkosi
yami. Ngenelela baba!

I headed to my allocated place.

Mind you It is my first time
going to this lounge. I entered
and noboby seemed to be
minding me so I went to their
table, well the only table.
Me: greetings to you all, I am
Yandisolwethuthando but you
can call me Yah, and I will be
with you for the rest of the
night.

Silence……..silence……..
Okaaay…. Moving on.
Me: may I get y’all something
to drink?
Guy1: yes. Please bring us a
bottle of brandy and ice.
Me: will that be all?
They all looked at each other
and this uptight looking one
nods.
Ngahamba ke ngayokwenza
lento yabo. And went to put it
on their table and the thing
about working here when you
set the table you lay a black
cloth then put the ice in the
bucket and then place it
perfectly in the middle. That I
learnt from training.
Anyways I took the things
and went to the table. I had to
bend and I was no where near
comfortable bending in front
of the other two men, the
serious one was much better, he
looked less arrogant, id say.
The other ones? Is not make
sure!
So I bent down as I didn’t
want to show my front part if
ngiqojeme, I think you get the
picture. So ngagobela ngaku
MR. Serious and did my
business then went to chill at
the bar. They looked like they
were in deep business. After 3
full hours, they wrapped up
and stood up and the arrogant
looking guys walked out
leaving MR. Serious.
“thank you for your good
service”
He said taking out a stack of
R200’s
Me: this is way to more than
your bill money sir
“don’t worry about the bill it
was settled wena take this it is
yours. And call me Lusizo.
Shall we?”
He lead the way to the door
then let me through first then
he closed. I Was walking in
front of him, I felt completely
naked because I could feel his
eyes on my back. They should
change the uniform.
“I think it is about time I
change the uniform, too
revealing for my liking.”
Me: glad somebody sees what I
have been complaining about,
but I don’t make the rules
We reached the main space
and it was empty.
Me: kanti what is the time?
Lusizo: past 1 o’clock
Me: shit let me get my things
I rushed to our relief room and
took my things from the
locker and went out to the
security.
Security: usuyohamba kahle
ngane yami, ukulindile
umkhwenyana.
Me: umkhwenyana?
Security: hamba kuhlwile
ksamele uvuke ntombi yam
Me: usuyosala kahle ke baba
I left and a car flicked its
lights. I went closer to it. It
was Lusizo.
Lusizo: get in
I got in.
Me: thank you for the lift, but
how do I know you wont
kidnap me?
Lusizo: I mean you are
already in so I guess you trust
me.
Me: I guess you are the
arrogant one, you just
portrayed MR. Serious
He smirked
Lusizo: arrogant, you say?
Me: whatever. I need to call
someone
I called Thabang.
Thabang: babe? Why you
calling so late?
Me: don’t call me babe, you do
not leave your girl
Thabang: I thought you were
long gone because I saw that I
was the only one left. I tried
calling you and it put me
straight to voice mail.
Me: I understand love,
anyways, I will see you
tomorrow.
Thabang: love you! Wait…..
are you on the road?
Me: yes, one of the gentlemen
that I was serving was kind
enough to give me a lift.
Thabang: is he cute?
Me: haa babe we will talk later
today
Thabang: wait did you see big
boss
Me: love, sleep
Thabang: okay ke. Love you
Me: love you more. He dropped
the call.
Lusizo: boyfriend?
Me: no, bestfriend.
Lusizo: that is a boy
Me: yes why?
Lusizo: nah lutho.
The drive was just fine with
me directing him to my
shack. I came to Durban to
make a living because
emakhaya awekho amathuba
emisebenzi.
When we got there I saw my
things outside of the gate.
Me: no noo noooooo, this can’t
be happening
I quickly got out of the car
when it stopped leaving my
bag inside.
I was going to pay my rent
next weekend but I guess my
landlord couldn’t wait much
longer
Lusizo: whats happening?
Me: my landlord just kicked
me out, I literally have no
place to go.
Lusizo: don’t you have close
relatives?
Me: not that I know of. My
family is in the Eastern Cape
Lusizo: I think I have a pace I
can take you to.
He took my things and put
them in the boot then went to
his side and drove off. I was so
not okay with this, I mean I
am officially homeless. And a
stranger is taking me to a
place I don’t know.
We drove for a clean 30
minutes then arrived at this
big beautiful one storey house.
Me: wow this house is
beautiful
Lusizo: and it is where you
will be staying
He got out and took my
things from the boot and got
inside the house. I followed
him. I was so stunned. The
house was freakishly clean
and stunning.
Lusizo: down the passage is
your room and the bathroom
next door. Kitchen right here
and the rest you will figure
out.
Me: thank you so much. But
wait……. Where will you be
sleeping?
Lusizo: don’t worry about me,
I am old enough, wena just get
comfortable. Here is my
number call me if out need
anything
He gave me a card.

Me: thank you so much, you

really don’t have to leave, you
can use your room, maybe?
Lusizo: relax, I will go to one
of my apartments. Usuyosala.
He said leaving me. Well I
went to close the door and went
to my allocated room. Went to
the bathroom bathed then went
to bed. It was 3am and I have
to be up by 6am so I will be at
work by 8am.
************************

Today we got a notice at the

shop yokuthi it is closing
because of some reason they
can’t give us. Well I guess I
have one job less meaning an
income cut off, meaning I am
looking at another two years
of working before school.
Argh! I HATE THIS!
Anyways, my stay at
Lusizo’s house has been rather
great and he is more fun than
he seems. He comes and checks
up on me and has been a
regular ever since.
Anyways, I am chilling at the
house with me myself and I.
just reflecting on my life, how
it turned out and how hard it
has been. It has its goods and
bads but I don’t think I have
time to be sorrowful and think
about the bad things that have
happened in my life. Well, the
good things are, I live in a big
beautiful house free of charge,
I have a good paying job well
since my salary increased.
Funny thing my salary and
Thabang’s salaries are the
only ones that increased.
Don’t ask me, I also don’t
know. But what I know is that
big boss is the one who
increased it for only the both
of us, says Charles(small
boss). And how can I forget?
The handsome, tall, dark,
clean ! oh God! I am talking
about a Roman God. I wanna
his see everything!
Me: I wanna see his ID, his
cars, his smile, his packs, his
legs, his birth mark, his mom,
I am talking ‘bout everything,
I wanna see it all! Ah Lusizo!
I said with my eyes closed
saying this on the top of my
voice.
“ well, I guess I have to take
you to my mom, and show
you everything, but some will
need you to be with me naked
in the bedroom”
I turned around and it was
Lusizo standing by the door
with a huge smirk on his face.
Gosh don’t tell me he heard
me.
Me: he…y, uhh hi, Sizo
Lusizo: pet names also, I like
Cant he God damn smile for
once? All he does is smirk.
Lusizo: anyways I came to
check up on you
Me: well I am good come let’s
go sit
We went to the lounge and
took our seats. We chilled just
watching TV and having
conversations here and there.
Then he went to the bathroom
and I turn to the news
channel. His face popped up
almost immediately
“ it has been confirmed that
the almighty, powerful,
multimillionaire, Lusizo
Ngcobo, has a better half or
should I say, girlfriend. I
mean this is shocking to
everyone because on one of his
interviews years back he
clearly said, and I quote,’ I
don’t need women in my life. I
have my mother and she is
more than enough. I think it is
because I don’t believe in love,
because of previous experiences.
But I can truly be open to find
someone years from now.’
“ and he was asked what he
wanted in a women and
responded and I quote,’ I am
not looking for something
specific. When the right one
comes, I will know she is the
one, and I truly believe fate
will get us together. ‘
“ so I think he has found the
one that he was bound with by
fate, who knows maybe she is
the future Mrs. Ngcobo. But
the question still stands, who
is this mysterious, lucky
lady. Anyways that was the
gossip corner, next is sports
bulletin.
Wow! So he is famous? I never
heard of him thou. After a few
minutes he came back looking
all freshened up wearing
joggers, sweater and Addidas
slids. Oh God what you doing
to me.

Lusizo: staring is rude

ma’am, I know I am handsome
Me: don’t flatter yourself
Sizo, you not handsome, you
just okay
Lusizo: ouch that hurts, so
much for fooling myself.
He said in a dramatic tone
with his hand on his chest. He
sat down.

Me: so……… you have a

girlfriend, huh
Lusizo: no? why you asking
Me: ukuthi I just heard that on
one of your interviews you
mentioned there is someone
special, but a mystery to the
public.
Lusizo: well I do have a special
somebody in my life but she
just doesn’t know how special
she is. I don’t know how I will
tell her because I was invited to
a Met Gala in New York and
her as my plus one. I could
take someone else but she is
the one they want, once she is
known, then it will be then
where will be free to date kahle.
Me: just tell her how you feel
and see where it goes and take
it from there. So when is this
Gala thing of yours?
Lusizo: in 2 months time
Me: you still have alot of time
nje
Lusizo: no I don’t, I have to get
our outfits done, God knows
how long that takes.
Me: well that’s ecxiting, what
were you thinking?
Lusizo: I will just tell my
designer to design something
whatever it is, and I will
anonymously get my special
somebodys size.
Me: nonsense. I will help you
pick the colours. So tell me
your favourite colour
Lusizo: black.
Me: why you so dull, dude,
come. Lets go to my room so I
can show you some pictures of
different colours on outfits.
We stood up and he followed
me to my room. I took a
magazine and we looked
through it and he was co-
operating quiet well. He ended
up choosing navy, which will
suit him very well. Now all
that was left was the dress of
the girl.
Me: why don’t you let her
choose it for herself?
Lusizo: I want it to be a
surprise
Me: oh okay
Lusizo: so what kind of dress
were you thinking would go
well with the colour I chose?
Me: uuh……………… actually
let me show you my dream
dress, I don’t know for what
but I always wished to have it
one day and I think it will be
more than perfect for this.
I took out my phone and
showed him the dress
Lusizo: mh, okay that looks
good and will definitely look
good on her sexy body.
Me: mh, yeah
Wow, he really loves this girl. I
mean nami bengicabangani
ngoba phela I am not in his
league. Argh!!
Lusizo: I am sleeping over
today, do you mind?
Me: no, not at all, I’d use good
company.
We chilled for the rest of the
evening and he ordered in, so
no dishes for me.
Lusizo: tomorrow I am
meeting up with my designer,
can you please accompany me
Me: yeah sure, what time?
Lusizo: 10am
Me: okay.
We parted ways and I went to
the bathroom to relieve myself
then went to bed. Minutes later
I am in dream land.
************************
**************
So we are on our way to his
designer. It is quiet a long
drive I must say. But as we
went on, I saw the airport.
Me: airport? Kanti siyaphi?
Lusizo: my designer
Me: usebenzela e-airport pho?
Lusizo: no, he is in JHB
Me: hehe amabhadi ayeqala!
We going to JHB now?
Lusizo: yes we will be back by
Monday.
Me: I don’t have clothes nje
Lusizo: don’t worry about that
Me: mhhh, ngyalingwa!
Nx! Who does he think he is to
not tell me he is taking me to
JHB. Am I overreacting or is it
the moods. I get very moody
when I am on my periods.
Maybe it is. But still,
ungitapa kancane lo, NX!
The car parked and he went
out. I stayed in the car. He
walked a few steps and saw
that I wasn’t following him.
He came back and opened my
door.
Lusizo: are you really doing
this
Silence….
Lusizo: Yah stop playing
games and let us go
Silence………
Lusizo: well, I guess I have to
do it
He took me out of the car in a
bridal style, I tried fighting it
off but it was useless he was
stronger than me. I gave in
and let him be. We got to the
jet. Yes, jet. I realised that
when I saw we were the only
ones in it.
Me: your jet?
Silence……
Me: hau ngyabuza Lusizo!
Yaz uzongidika lona
Lusizo: usufuna
ukukhuluma manje?
Yho his Zulu sounds sexy.
Okay snap out of it Yah.
Me: okay I am sorry. It is just
that I get moody when mother
nature calls
Lusizo: you angry because
you need to pee?
Me: argh! Why are you so
stupid man? It is that time of
the month
He looked at me confused
Me: ngenelela nkosi! Periods!
Lusizo switch on man.
Lusizo: oh, why couldn’t you
just say that?
Me: it is up to you. Call it
whatever you wanna address
it as.
Lusizo: then when I get you
pregnant you’ll be worse than
you are, Jesu
Me: arrh excuse me. Nope. You
are gonna get the special
somebody pregnant, not me.
Lusizo: oh yes.
The flight was shorter than I
expected. We got to the airport
and a black SUV was already
parked
Waiting for us. We got in and
the driver drove. I felt sleepy.
Me: ngyazela mina ngeke
Sizo
Lusizo: lay your head on my
lap, I will wake you up we are
there.
I lay my head on his lap and
he pulled me closer so that I
was comfortable.
*********************
Lusizo: hey wake up, we are
here
Me: oww, five more minutes
Lusizo: nope. You will rest
once we are done with my
designer.
Me: fine!
I rolled my eyes
Lusizo: nci nci nci. hhayi
We got out of the car and
entered this fancy boutique.
We were welcomed by an
obviously gay guy.
Him: hi sexy and hello the
gorgeous. You know me wena
sexy, and gorgeous I am
Khanya Louis
But you can call me Khay.
Me: nice meeting you Khay. I
am Yandisolwethuthando but
you can call me Yah
Khay: nice meeting you, love.
Anyways what are you here
for sexy?
Lusizo: Khanya?!
He said in a warning voice. I
giggled
Khay: okay fine Luh how can
I be of your assistance?
Lusizo: we are here to ask you
to do an outfit for the Met
Gala
Khay: you were invited? Who’s
your date?
Lusizo: a special someone. he
said looking down at me as we
were still standing
Khay: oo I see come this way
so we can be able to sketch
things down
We followed him to what
looked like his office.
Khay: so shoot. Your ideas,
like what do you want?
Me: nothing to fancy for you
Lusizo right?
Lusizo: yes, simple.
Me: so he liked the colour navy
after I showed him a few
images of suits in different
colours and went for it.
Khay: okay interesting. I am
glad you made him see the
brighter side of the world, he
even smirks, which is close to
smiling, good job babes.
Me: I did a lot of convincing
babes before we got to this
point, and I try hun
We giggled. Mr. here had a
smirk I guess he does smirk a
lot lately.
Khay: so special somebody
what will you where
Me: I think you meant what
will she wear. Well I have a
picture here
I showed him.
Me: so that was my dream
dress but I saw that it would
go well with his suit and it
saved us a hassle of looking
for designs and colours.
Khay: nice dress. I can see
Lusizo, special somebody will
be fly in this dress especially
because she has a banging
body, right.
Lusizo: you sound like you
know her
He raise his eyebrow
Khay: maybe, maybe not. So
how do I know mysterious
girls size?
Lusizo: take Yah’s
measurements she is her size
Me: how do you know I am her
size?
Lusizo: just do as I say
Khay took my measurements.
I had to take off my
trackpant. I was comfortable
with Khay touching me
because he was Gay that’s
period. But Lusizo? I don’t
know he say there quietly
groaning from time to time.
Khay spanked my ass.
Khay: you got some girl, give
me some. You work out?
Me: yes to keep them firm
Lusizo had his phone right
infront of his face god knows
doing what
Khay: but I know how to twerk
better than you. It is said the
ones with big booty have no
idea as to how to twerk.
Me: lies lies lies. I know how to
twerk. Very well, babes.
Khay: let me show you what I
am talking about.
He stood on the stoop and
stated twerking I was cheering
on for him whilst laughing
Me: yes!! You go girl! Khay!
Khay! Khay!!!!
Khay: now that is how it is
done.
Me: let me show you how it is
done.
I went to the stoop and started
singing,” girls need love”, and
twerked. This was fun. I felt
free! Khay was cheering and I
was in my feels.
Lusizo: can I also join
Fuck!!! I totally forgot about
him. And shit! I had my back
on him because that It is where
Khay was and I am half
naked for goodness sake. I am
so embarrassed.
I quickly took my trackpant
because we were already done
with Khay we were just fooling
around. We said our good byes
and headed to the car. We got
in
To the driver-
Lusizo: my house
The engine started.
Me: you have a house here?
Lusizo: yes.
Me: oh okay
Lusizo: I am going to have
entertainment tonight, you
doing what you were doing
with u-Khanya.
Me: no thank you Mr. I will
gladly pass. And I am
hungry
Lusizo: we will get you fed
then ma’am
We got to his house and Mr.
said he will cook for me, so
who am I to decline that offer.
A whole Roman God in the
kitchen cooking, sounds good.
So he went to the kitchen and I
followed him and sat on the
high chairs.
Me: so you can cook, huh?
Lusizo: learnt from the best
Me: that being?
Lusizo: my grams
Me: mmh, okay ake sbone
He started doing his thing. It
smelt really nice but the
kitchen was a mess. So I
decided to stand up and tidy
up, because personally I hate
working in a messy place.
Lusizo: don’t wory about that I
will call the cleaning
company.
Me: cleaning company while
kukhona intombazane la
endlini? Kahle wena
ukumosha imali
Lusizo: ai do you ke, mina I
was giving you time to relax.
Me: nonsense! Relax whilst
someone is slaving doing food
for me, hhayi ngabe ngikhona
I took the already dirty dishes
and put them in the sink to
wash them.
Lusizo: just put them in the
dishwasher that way it is
easier
Me: cha ngizoziwasha la wena
qhubka naleyonto.
Lusizo: hhay I was helping.
But anyways I like the view
Me: what view manje?
Lusizo: you washing dishes in
my kitchen, nje it is very……..
Me: very what?
Lusizo: sexy.
Me: sexy?
Lusizo: kanti kmele ngithini
if umuntu e-sexy? Phela wena
you are the one…..
Me: ungaqedi, focus ndoda!
You have special somebody to
compliment. So save those for
her.
Lusizo: yhoo well that I cant
wait for her to know how much
she has changed my world
from the day I met her to
today. I am a changed man.
Me: changed in what way?
Lusizo: if it was the old me I
wouldn’t have offered you a
place to stay, nor would have I
been talking this much, I am
a man of a few words, well the
public knows that. And I smile
a lot lately which I am not
used to.
Me: you never smile wena you
smirk or side smile, I have
never seen your full smile
Lusizo: I only smile when I
think about her and that is
when I am alone.
Me: can you think about her
now so that I see your smile.
He stood up and came to me at
the sink. He held me from
behind and turned me around.
His touch! I felt something
like an electric wave going
through my body.
Lusizo: so you wanna see me
smile?
Me: uh.. ye..yess
Lusizo: relax, I wont do
anything to you mama
I just smile the way he said
‘mama’ just.. yho hhayi
lomlisa. I am sure if I was
light skinned I would be red
right now.
Lusizo: and she blushes! Ah
you waking up thing mama
I blush even more. Then look
up to him. He is talllllllllll!
He had this huge breath
taking beautiful smile. Aww,
he is super fly when he smiles.
Then out of the blue into the
grey he kisses me. Yho, when
they talk about sensation
basuke nekhuluma ngalo u-
kiss. The way he held me, to
the way he kissed me
everything was perfect, then I
remembered. Special someone.
I pulled back

Me: lusizo! That was wrong.

Lusizo: felt so right.
Me: focus! Special somebody,
remember?
Lusizo: what she doesn’t know
wont hurt her
Me: whatever dawg
Then I scanned him, I don’t
know why but I did. Then I
saw his boner
I just laughed
Lusizo: you really laughing
at my misery
Me: who said I am laughing at
you?
Lusizo: I saw you scanning
me. And you should be
paying because you are the
one who caused this
Me: hebana!
I just laughed at him. The rest
of our day was great. We
played dress up and I got to
dress in his suits and model
for him. We went outside and
took pictures.
We were now in the lounge
binge watching blood and
water ssn1
Me: I should create an IG
account
Lusizo: you don’t have one?
Me: yeah I don’t
Lusizo: well let us create it for
you and then create mine
Me: kanti nawe awunayo
Lusizo: no, well I have
accounts but they are for my
businesses
Me: okay ke let us get to it
We started with my account
and posted the pictures we took
together today and did the
same for his account. One
thing I noticed is that the first
photos of our layouts had the
picture where we were hugging
each other.
***********************

Today I am super lazy. But I

have to be at work at 5pm.
And oh how could I forget, the
uniform changed well they
added black pants for us
ladies. So we have options in
terms of what we wear. So I
have been wearing the pants
ever since, but today I felt like
wearing the skirt. So I
freshened up and got dresses.
Then I was gone. Got to work
at 10mins to 6. Well I am not
late. I still have time to talk to
Tee before we start operating.
Me: Tee friend how are you?
Thabang: hee now you care?
Phela wena you have been too
busy to check up on me babe
Me: sorry love I will make it up
to you
Thabang: definitely, lunch on
Sunday
Me: eish, I am going to JHB for
the weekend
Thabang: uyokwenzani lapho
wena
Me: well let us just say a
friend of mine wants to
surprise this girl with a dress
and apparently she is my size
Thabang: your friend is a he,
right
Me: yes but just a friend I am
helping out
Thabang: name?
Me: Sizo
Thabang: sounds familiar but
anyways kukhona umgosi
enginawo mngani
Me: woza nazo
Thabang: so you remember the
day you were off, it was a
Friday…………….
“ again I don’t pay y’all to
gossip”
Thabang: siyaxolisa
Mnumzane
I turned around
Me: Sizo, what are you doing
here?
Thabang: woah! He is the
friend that you were talking
about?
Lusizo: friend? Mmh I see.
Why are you wearing that
skirt? It Is too short for my
liking
Me: awukaka ngiphenduli
Lusizo: I own this place
Me: hhayi kuyenyukela. You
have never mentioned that.
You told me of all your other
businesses and left this one
out?
Lusizo: I didn’t mention all,
some I forget about too many
to count
I looked at him with my left
brow up
He chuckles.
Lusizo: okay fine, I didn’t
want you to freak out and you
know
Me: so kahle kahle imina
islima la.
Lusizo: follow me to my office.
Both off you.
Thabang followed but I stood
there.
Lusizo: don’t make me come
and pick you up
Silence…………
Lusizo: shopping ke on me in
Sandton on Saturday
Me: now you are talking
Lusizo: hayi ngaze
ngavelelwa
We followed him to his office
and the first thing he did was
give me a pair of pants
Me: why?
Lusizo: too short for my
liking?
Me: why is it bothering you
Lusizo: because other men will
be looking at your ass
Me: so?
Lusizo: just do as I say.
Thabang: so I was called here
to third wheel?
Lusizo: no, actually I have an
offer for the both of you
Thabang: listening, but wait
where did you hide my big
boss because he does not smile
or talk, like tallkkkk
Lusizo: see what I was talking
about Yah? I am a changed
man. Anyways what
qaulifications do yall have.
Thabang: none what so ever,
both of us. Just matric
Lusizo: want to go back to
school?
Me: yes
Thabang: no ways. I hate
school.
Lusizo: would you be open to
work as a receptionist at Fuze
Inc. ?
Thabang: are you serious?
Usizo: as a heart attack
That was so corny, I didn’t
expect him to say such a
thing.
Thabang: I would love to. I
mean who wouldn’t want to
work at the biggest business
in the country? When do I
start?
Lusizo: we will discuss that
later, but for no can you leave
me and Yah for a moment.
Thabang: wooh thank you so
much
He said rushing to him and
kissing his cheek.
Lusizo: I am straight njalo
Thabang: yeah I know and
you are inlove anyways bye!
He said closing the door
behind him.
Lusizo: finally!
He pressed some button on his
desk and the door made a
locking sound. He then came
to me and held me close to him
with his arms enveloped
around my waist. I looked
down and he used his index
finger to lift my chin up. We
shared some eye contact, and
then he kissed me. Mind you I
was still wearing my skirt. He
lifted it up and grabbed my
ass. Everything just felt so
right, I was in the moment
both of us in sync. Its like our
souls had been emerged
together. I think I am falling
for a guy that loves someone
else.
Lusizo: what are you
thinking about?
Me: nothing.
Lusizo: so there is something I
need to show you.
He took out his phone and
showed me some website. There
was a picture of me and him.
The headline read….
‘ finally the almighty Lusizo
Ngcobo has shown his special
someone, after creating a
personal instagram account.

Me: nje I am not your special

someone. Its another girl.
What are we gonna do now? I
mean these are friendly pics.
Lusizo: well this means I have
to take you now to the Met
Gala because all over the world
they are waiting to see me and
you showing up together. We
will act it out ten announce we
broke up weeks after the gala.
So can you please go with me?

Me: i… uh….
Lusizo: take your time you
still have 3 weeks to make up
your mind. If you are not
comfortable we can take
Thabang with since you guys
are best-friends
Me: I will talk to him first
then you will get your
feedback.
 So after some thought and
Thabang’s input to my
decision, we decide to go ahead
with the Met Gala thing
because the outfits were
already done just a few
alterations left.
We already did our last
fittings and Thabang will get
his fit in New York. Khay will
come with it. We are flying
tomorrow morning.
Thabang is here with us in
JHB. When he got here to
Sizo’s house he couldn’t stop
complimenting it, I was also
like that. I don’t have much
clothes to pack other than
Lusizo”s and a few of mine
because I didn’t come prepared
like Thabang. He came with a
suitcase and did shopping
when he got here. Yep the one
Lusizo promised us. Mina I
bought a few things. Thabang
heard the word no limit and
sloshed the money. I just took
three dresses and sneakers.
************************
We have been on this flight for
quiet some time now. And I
am exhausted. We are flying
one-way.
************************
We got there and all of us
went to bed saze savuka
ngaksasa. I shared a room
with Lusizo whilst Thabang
was with Khay. I know this
has to do with Sizo but I have
my own room. Its like he
booked villas in this hotel.
And Thabang and Khay have
been very close since they met,
I just know they are up to
something. I was the last one
to wake up because I saw a note
on the side table stating that
Tee and Khay are out, and
Lusizo just Came in with a
tray with breakfast/brunch.

Lusizo: yho hayi you can

sleep. I thought of waking you
up but Thabang clearly told
me you hate being woken up
from your beauty sleep.
Me: got that right. Thank you
for this. Come let me hug you
Lusizo: this is much better
He said kissing me. It was a
brief kiss. It has become a
norm.
Lusizo: good morning
Me: morning and thank you
Lusizo: no, thank you. Now
eat up then freshen up we are
taking a tour.
Me: yey! Can’t wait let me dig
in. woza sizodla
Lusizo: ngisuthi
Me: bengingakubuzi
bengikutshela yiza
Lusizo: fine. Can’t believe I am
taking demands from
someone.
I giggle. We ate the brunch
together. And went our
separate ways as we were
going to freshen up.
I did my hygiene process and
wore my cycling shorts and a
long sleeve crop top with
sneakers. It is a bit chilly
today and this is the only
thing I have that is long
sleeve. I will borrow a hoodie
from Sizo. I headed to his
room.

Me: lusizo cela ungibolka one

of your hoodies.
Lusizo: which one? You paked
for me remember
Me: there is this black one I
packed wena you will take the
sweater
Lusizo: okay cool.
He was wearing black
sweatpants and a white
sweater and I was wearing
white cycling shorts with is
black hoodie. They were
written ‘Fuz’elihle”
we looked like we planned but
no it just was a coincidence.
Anways we got to the foyer
and we were told our driver
had arrived. Mina I am not
used to these things, being
chauffeured around. But
anyways, we went an ice-
cream shop and bought some,
because Mr. once said he
doesn’t remember the last time
he had ice-cream. We bought it
and decide to walk around
since vele it is a walking city.
We walked around talking
about crazy stuff, laughing
just free.
Lusizo: ima.
Me: yeah?
Lusizo: you know I really
appreciate you
Me: no
Lusizo: well I do and I would
like you to know that you
play a big role in my life. You
are more than just a friend
He pulled me closer to him and
kissed me, no foreplay what so
ever. We kissed then whilst
still kissing we heard the
sound of a cameras going off.
We pulled back.
Lusizo hid his face
Me: is this like paparazzi
Lusizo: yes it is cover your
face our driver is on his way.
I put on my hoodie and the
driver came almost
immediately. We got inside.
Me: what was that for ?
Lusizo: which? The kiss or
paparazzi?
Me: both.
Lusizo:1. The kiss was for just
nje, I mean it has become a
norm. 2. Paparazzi. The
reason why I am invited to
this Gala is because I am
considered a celeb. Now I did
say people were expecting me to
show up with the girl I was
talking about. So I think they
put 1 and 1 together
kwaphuma u-2. So to the
public you are my girl. They
have concluded
Me: awu kodwa nkosi yam!
We got to the hotel and chilled
for the day. Tee and Khay
came back late in the evening.
Tee: so you and your friend
kiss now?
Me: what are you talking
about?
Khay: hhayi bo don’t tell me
you haven’t seen the Grams.
Y’all are trending on the
socials. Angiwubali u-twitter
it is buzing!
He showed me a picture of Sizo
and I kissing. And a picture
of us walking hand in hand
and another one of us eating
ice-cream. When were the other
ones taken?
Lusizo: those people have no
lives honestly, nx!
Tee: but y’all guys look cute
with those couple gaols
matching tops and colours.
And people are amazed that
you can actually smile.
Lusizo shook his head
chuckling.
Me: let me head to bed I am
gonna need my beauty sleep
for the big day tomorrow.
Khay: let us leave you two love
birds to it. Toodles!!
They left and lusizo and I
went our separate ways.
************************
The day has finally arrived! I
am super excited. So plans for
today, nothing much but
Lusizo booked us all
Massages, then a make-up
artist will be here. And at
about late afternoon we get
ready because our outfits will
arrive and we will have to get
dressed bese siba indlela.
Anyways I woke up and went
to the bathroom to wash my
face and brush my teeth, then
went to the kitchen to make
breakfast. I sent Tee a message
gore breakfast will be ready in
the next 30. I did my thing
whilst playing music on my
phone singing along. Then ’
what I would say’ by Lloyiso
played, my fave. I sang along

“ what do I do
When you look at me the way
you do
What do I say baby I cant keep
my pedant straight
What do I pray for
I’ve been praying
I’ve been praying
If we were in a movie’s scene
Or even in a Hollywood screen
I’d say”

“ I’ll love you till the morning

comes
I’ll love you till my heart runs
out of blood
I’d say let me hold you
baggage
Let me take your little
burdens off
That’s what I would say.”
I turned around, it was
Lusizo. He can sing?!! Amen!
The way he sang it, it was like
he carried meaning with every
word, like he was thinking of
someone special. And oh, his
voice! I thought I could sing,
well what people told me but
HIM!? He is a man full of
surprises.
Me: you can sing?
Lusizo: I try, I try. But you?
Ai you know your thing,
beautiful voice
Me: but yours is better, I love it
Lusizo: I love you
Me: I love you
Lusizo: say what, I feel like I
was interrupted by passing
wind
Me: you heard me
I smiled, I finally confessed.
He just came to me and put me
on the counter and kissed me.
Every time we kiss I get these
foreign feelings. In his arms I
felt safe, like it was meant to
be. Then someone clears their
throat. We pull back and look.
Tee an Khay. Gosh I will never
hear the end of it. Sizo moved
back and I got off the counter.
He kissed my cheek then went
to his room.

Tee: I want them all babe, give

me the tea hun
Khay: no details out,
everything
Me: not here. But in S.A I will
tell you guy. Today I have no
time to spare, I am busy.
Them: with?
Me: I have a 3hr full body
pampering. Nails will be done
there, manicure and pedicure
and you suggested I should
do. After that make-up artist,
then our outfits Khay then out
to the Gala.
Khay: yes you are quiet busy.
So who are you going with to
the Spa?
Me: Sizo booked for me and
him but he will leave once I
start my nails.
Tee: you two are inlove and I
am super happy because
someone will get it good ayeke
ukuba inno.
Me: Tee don’t corrupt me I am
still an innocent girl
Khay: you mean you’ve never?
Me: yep I mean that
Tee: wawina uLuh. A full
package madoda!
Me: let me love and leave you
to it guys ngsayo geza then
go down stairs for the
pampering.
I left them and went to take a
quick shower then wore a
black silk gown and slippers
then went to the lounge.
Lusizo was already ready so
we went down stairs and
started with our session. This
is so relaxing, first time.
Me: where are you off to after
this.
Lusizo: I have a few things to
fix, but I will be done before the
outfits arrive.
Me: oh okay.
Lusizo: you know that the
special somebody I have
always been talking about
was you. Every pointers I
asked from you if you look
closely I used them back to see
how you feel about me. The
day I saw you talking to
yourself saying you wanna
see everything of mine, I
literally knew at that time
that we have mutual feelings.
From there I had to play my
cards right until you say it
with you mouth.
Me: so all this time I am
talking about myself when I
start talking about special
somebody?
Lusizo: yes
Me: all the inputs in the
outfits and choosing the dress
was all part of your plan?
Lusizo: quiet frankly, yes.
Me: what if I didn’t feel the
same way ngawe
Lusizo: I would force you to
I turned and looked at him
shocked
Lusizo: I am joking mama.
I looked down blushing.
Lusizo: and she blushes. Oh I
love you woman
Me: I love you.
Our pampering came to an
end. he went to run some
errands while I did my
pedicure and manicure. I never
did nails before, so I opted for
medium matte white nails
with my initials on my
middle finger. Same for
pedicure. Everything went so
fast. The make-up artist
arrived. I opted for natural
look and put on i-frontal. Le
kade ngangizwa ngayo ku-
facebook. I was told I will get
the mirror once I have my fit
on. Right before Nale finished
with the edges, Khay arrived
with my dress.
Khay: yho you looking fly
my darling. It is dress up
time.
Me: thank you khay. And
thank you Nale for the
beautiful work, I trust Khay’s
comment.
Nale: it was a pleasure ma’am
Me: ma’am? Call me Yah
Nale: strict rule from Mr.
Ngcobo. We are to call you
ma’am or MaNgcobo
I laughed a little.
Me: maNgcobo? Awu kodwa
Jesu. Anyways thank you
love.
I went to my room where Khay
was fixing my dress. It was
absolutely beautiful. Better
than the one in the picture. I
got into my dress and he
zipped it up.
Khay: yho, Luh will have a
boner for the rest of the
evening I tell you, that body of
yours is to die for. Now let us
go to the mirror.
Me: finally I get to see how
ugly I look with make-up on.
He laughed at me. We got to
the mirror, my eyes were
closed.
Khay: open up now.
I slowly opened them.
Me: woow.
It came out as a whisper.
Me: I look beautiful and
different.
Khay: good different, that I
know.
Me: thank you so much, I love
the dress. Where is Lusizo?
“ I am right here”
I turned around. He looked…..
I can’t even find the word to
describe how he looked. He was
more than handsome this
time. More than a Roman
God. He was…… awwu
Hallelujah, umkhulu Jesu,
hhayi Iyadala nansi indoda
esemazulwini.
Lusizo: you can close your
mouth now, I know I look
yummy
Me: don’t flatter yourself Mr.
Ngcobo, you not that bad. You
look okay.
Lusizo: oh really now? its
okay. But you mama on the
other hand look sexy,
yummy……..
Khay: that is my cue to leave
you love birds before the
candle wax burns me
We laughed at him.
Lusizo: where was I ? oh yes,
you look breath takingly
beautiful mama.
Me: not too bad yourself Mr.

Lusizo: shall we?

He took my hand into his and
we went down stairs. We took
some photos and headed to the
Gala. Thabang was now
Khay’s plus 1. Something not
make sure ngale friendship
yabo. We got into our car and
headed to the Gala.
Masifika ke- laphaya!! There
was i-red carpet and paparazzi
all the way from the start of
the red carpet. I could see
journalists, celebrities, I just
felt like a no body.
Me: I am so nervous Lusizo
Lusizo: don’t be, focus on
yourself and me. Don’t think
about it too much. Don’t try to
be perfect, be you. The Yah I
fell in love with.
Me: okay. Shall we? I am
suddenly excited!
Lusizo: then let us go, and oh
smile for the cameras.
Immediately as we stepped out
cameras went off. I smiled
until it hurt but I still had the
interview section. Finally we
got there.
Lady: you guys look
absolutely gorgeous. Who
designed your outfits and
what inspired them?
Lusizo looked at me, I guess he
wants me to answer.
Me: well thank you. Our
outfits were designed by
Khanya Louis.
Lady: I see, and the
inspiration?
Me: well, there wasn’t really
an insp…….
Lusizo: this beautiful woman
next to me chose and re-
designed a dress she saw
online and chose what I was to
wear. So it wasn’t an
inspiration but a vision she
had.
Lady: interesting. So is it
safe for me to ask for her
name or is it still private.
Lusizo looked at me
concerned. I nodded.
Me: my name is
Yandisolwethuthando Deyi.

Well, yes. I am
Yandisolwethuthando Deyi. A
23 year-old from, the Eastern
Cape, eBizana kwa-Bhele. Size
36 with a well maintained
figure. Melanin mommy and
this is how I became Yah the
gangster wife / the widow
