LONDIWE

“ Bye boss.”, I say to Kwanele who has a frown on his face trying to get through some paper work.

He looks at me , “ It's knock-off time already?”

“Yhea , I should get going now and please...”

He stares for a little while and  nods  then he goes back to work. In all honesty, Kwanele is my only hope in getting justice for my little brother although his ways might be sketchy but I just want him found.

I pass by to the reception to get my friends.

“So are you ready to do this?”, Wendy asks.

“ I don't know , I'm scared yazi.”,  I confess. I don't wanna intrude ,maybe he has a very good reason why he hasn't called me or picked up my calls. Maybe he's working, he is a busy man afterall.

I text Derrick that he shouldn't come pick me up because I already got a ride from Wendy.
We drive off to his beautiful house and stop at the gate. My  friends can see the worry on my face, I don't like this at all.

“Maybe I should wait for him to call me first.”, I say.

“ Girl, he owes you an explanation plus , this is your man, you have a right to visit him you know.”, Gcina assures me.

“ I agree with Gcina on this one. Qhawe is not Sandile , stop holding back babe.” , Stacy can be a loud mouth but maybe she's right.

“ And give the poor man some coochie yhu! You're starving the guy ,Londiwe!”, Gcina exclaims and I giggle.Trust Gcina to say something offside in a serious situation.

“Okay ,fine.”

We're let in by the security guards and I go knock on the door.
No, answer.I shouldn't have done this. Just about then a coloured woman opens the door. “ Can I help you?”, she asks scrunching her nose.

Just as I'm about to answer her I  see Qhawe approaching us. “ Felicia let her in.” , he say.

The Felicia character let's go of the door and clicks her heels going back somewhere in the house.

“ Who is that?”, I ask. I don't want to assume anything or act out of proportion so he must not lie to me.

“Who the fuck is that Qhawe?”

“Baby relax hawu, that's my assistant. I'm sorry I went AWOL, it's just that we're working on a very important case.”, he assures me.

my body relaxes and he leads us to the office when he and this Felicia person were.

“ Felicia,this is my girlfriend Londiwe and baby this is my assistant.”, Qhawe says introducing us formally and Felicia nods.

“ I'm sorry about earlier, I thought you were somebody else.”, Felicia says . Somebody else? I wonder.

“ Apology accepted Fifi.”, I smile at her and she returns the smile.

Well she seems nice, I wonder who she thought I was .

Qhawe leads us to the main bedroom, leaving Felicia to work. He closes the door.

He clears his throat, “ I'm sorry , I know I should've let you know baby,that was very wrong of me.”

“ You're damn right it was , Qhawe you can't just disappear on me . Worse you were not picking up my calls , we're in a relationship for crying out loud and people in a relationship communicate!”  

“ I know baby, I know and I'm sorry.”, he says brushing my back as we're laying on his bed fully clothed. 

I sigh “ it's fine, I have to tell you something.” , I say. He doesn't answer me instead he keeps brushing my back .

“ My step father molested Kwazi. Kwazi told me this -”

He sits up and looks at me. “What! He should get arrested!”

I huff ,“  babe,you know that if we open a case it'll reach a dead end phela this is South Africa .”, I have little trust in the SAPS . He nods in agreement.

“ Now what are we to do?” , Qhawe asks.

This is where the hard part is, “I ... My boss offered to help me find him.”, I close my eyes and then open them , I know he won't take this well.

“ And I've already accepted his offer.", I say.

“ No! That's not gonna happen Londiwe , tell that boss of yours I'll take care of it.”,Qhawe is now livid.

“ Qhawe I can't just do that! What if he already has a lead?”

“ Londiwe I'm your man, I'll take care of it okay?”

“ Take care of it how when you're  always busy to even answer your girlfriend's calls!” , this guy must not test me.

“ I'll make a plan okay? Just let me take care of this ! You know what ? I'll  tell that boss of yours myself that you don't need his help.”

“ You're sounding so insecure right now Qhawe ,come on!”, what is it and men and their egos?

“ I sound insecure Londiwe? ”, he chuckles. “ So basically caring for my girlfriend is being insecure?”, he's getting mad now.

“ I didn't mean it like that!”

We're both standing facing each other mad as hell. 

“ I think you should go, I have tons of work to do.”

What??? , “ What? Are you chasing me out of your house?”, he can't be serious.

“ Just get out Londiwe , I'm sure your boss is more that happy to help you.”, oh he's damn serious. 

“Fine!”, I march to the door and I close it forcefully. I can't believe him! I just can't believe Qhawe!

“ Friend what happened?”, Stacy asks as I get into the car.

“ We've just had our first fight.”, I say as they look at each other. We drive off in silence.

QHAWE

“This is not working,I'm going home.”,  Felicia says pulling me back from my thoughts.

“What?”, I ask her.

“ Dude, we're not gonna get any work done while you're like this. Get some rest or better yet call your girlfriend and fix whatever problems you two have.”

“Problems ? Who told you we have problems Felicia?”

“ You've been like this ever since she left here looking mad , I can see that you care for her an-”

I cut her off , “ Of course I care ,she's my girlfriend for fucks sake!”  , I shout at her but she doesn't flinch. 

“ See what I'm talking about? Just fix things with your girlfriend man, until then don't bother calling me to come help you with work.”, she stands up and packs her things . I look at her while she's packing.

“ And where are you going?” ,  This girl is getting too comfortable with me.

“ Boss, it's eight o'clock in the evening, my girlfriend is waiting for me at home. If we're not gonna work , I'm going home. ”, she takes her laptop bag and I accompany her out to her car.

“ Go apologize!”, she says and drives off .

Apologize? What for ? I didn't do anything wrong. She's the one who called me insecure!Why are women so complicated!  You know what ? I'm going to the bar ,fuck this.

I get to the bar and I go sit on the stools by the bartender's section. This bar is where I go to unwind but It's been a long time since I came here.

“ The usual,whiskey on the rocks?”, the bartender asks me. I nod my head yes. 

He passes me my order and I turn  to look at the entertainers. 

“ We meet again.”, a voice I know too well . I look at her from head to toe and she looks good.

“ What do you want Roxanne?”, I ask her.

“ Trouble in paradise? You know that I'm available to relieve your stress babe.”  , she licks her lips in a seductive manner .

“ Didn't I turn you down last time? You don't give up do you?” 

“ You know I go for what I want.”, she says. Might as well give her what she wants. It's been so long.

We drive off to a hotel . I'm not taking her to my house, I never take her to my house. We check in and go to the room.

As soon as we get in I kiss her hungrily. “ Oh,slow down lover boy.”

“ I'm not in the mood for foreplay Roxanne, condoms?”, She nods and takes out condoms from her clutch bag , giving them to me.

I kiss her again, this time tearing the panties under that short sexy dress she's wearing.
I help her take off her dress as soon as she's nude she unbuttons my shirt . I take off my pants and I'm left in my briefs. I take them off.

I push her onto the bed . I tear the condom wrap and  I roll the condom on my dick. She's looking at me with lust .
I plunge two fingers into her  while looking at her with lust. She throws her head back as I speed up the pace and curl them each time.

“ Fuck, Fuck ! Qhawe please!!”, she screams ,music to my ears.

“ What?why did you stop?”, she says panting.

“ You want this ,you want the real thing?”, I say pointing to my already erect dick and she nods repeatedly .

“ Yes,yes please.”, She whispers desperately.

I climb on top of her and stroke her clit while staring at her face. I stroke one more time before entering her . Fuck! She throws her head back and I groan.
She arches her back while I pound her harder and deeper.

“ Yes, ahhhh,right there ,right there baby!”, she screams , her moans are getting louder . She scratches by back and I groan.  The sounds of slapping skin, moans,groans and heavy breathing fill the room.

“ You like that ? You like that huh!?”, I push and shove my dick in and out of her wet pussy.

“ Faster ! I'm coming, faster baby!”, she screams and I fulfill her request.

I go faster ,my balls slamming against her entrance. I pick up my pace again as I feel myself cumming. I groan ,she scratches my back and we finally come undone. I get off her and I tie the cum- filled condom and throw it in the bin .

The sheets are soaking wet from Roxanne's juices.

“ I have to go.”, I say to her .

She looks at me surprised, “now?”

“ yes,now Roxanne. We're not dating. I have a woman waiting for me at home.”, I say to her.

I grab my clothes and I wear them while she's looking at me with the duvet covering her body.

“ Here, get yourself something to drink and don't call me . This was the last time we've done this.”, I take out R500 from my wallet and toss the notes on the bed and I get out not even looking back at her.

I get into my car .

“Fuck !fuck what have I done!”, I say hitting the steering wheel, regret starts to wash over me.
