He had brought romantic movies and some comedies. In no time the food he had ordered came. They ate and it was really nice. They were feeding each other the food and at some point when they were done eating he switched the DVD from a movie to music. He proposed that they danced. On a normal day Mpho’s phone would ring after every 30-1hr, most were job related calls since he was a sales person. On this particular day, his phone was off. Yoza did not ask about Mpho’s behaviour, she just enjoyed the moment. They even had sex right there in the sitting room, on the floor and it was fantastic.
After about 3 hours since she had been there, his flat buzzer went off, he answered it and he said “Ya, leave them by the security, thanks” and he hung up. Then he turned to Yongama. “let’s go”. “Where?” She asked. The time was after 9pm, where would they go? She had never ever went out with Mphoza before, the only place that was outside her flat or his flat that they were ever seen together was at the shop where Mph used to work or when he accompanied her to her flat.
Yoza found it strange, she agreed and they went downstairs, he went to the security guy and spoke to him, the security gave him car keys. “My friend is borrowing me (his car) for tonight, let us hit the road.” They went to Hatfileld to some fancy restaurant and bar there. The way Yoza was wearing wasn’t totally out but it was odd compared to all the other ladies there. She was wearing a dress and flat sandals. Most ladies there were wearing stilettos. However Mpho told her she looked great.
Some of Mpho’ s friends were there and they went past them and greeted them. Yoza did not know them and Mpho introduced her as his lady. Yoza was stunned; something was definitely up with this guy. She smiled and hugged those guys…. After some drinks Yoza wanted to leave and so they went back to his flat. They were not tired, but Yoza was a bit tipsy and that made her want more sex. That was okay with Mpho and he gave it to her. It was one long round that when it was over they were so tired, Mpho could not get up, he just fell on the site and in a matter of seconds they both dozed off.
In the morning an sms came to the phone and Yoza woke up and took the phone. She and Mpho were using the same kind of phone and from what she remembered, Mpho’s phone had been off, so it had to be her phone. She took the phone and looked on the screen. It was one of those phones where you can see the message displayed before unlocking the phone “I hope you have a great life Mph…” and it stopped. Still under the impression that it was her phone she unlocked it and went to the sms. “I hope you have a great life Mpho. I hope whoever you have left me for loves you more than I did!” Yoza blinked and rubbed her eyes and read again. “Hayi man, this was not her phone. Tjo, it was Mpho’s phone.”
She put the phone down and everything started to make sense now. Mpho probably broke up with some girl he had been going out with. Ahh, she thought, that was probably why he had been in such a mood the previous day and introducing her as his girlfriend. She quickly removed the thought from her head and woke up and prepared to leave. The church service was really going to start at 8am that day. She tried thinking back to the night before and realised that she felt asleep so deep she does not know if Mpho snored or not. And at that moment he was not snoring at all. “I wonder” she said to herself.
She sent an sms to Amish “Please iron my blue dress for me please, will be there now, now” Amish had the key to Yoza’s flat since she (Yoza) left them (Amish and Cindy) in her room the previous day. She looked at Mpho, he looked so peaceful and cute. He had always been so good to her, went out of his way to make her happy every chance he got. She remembered how she never gave him a chance to show her more love. How she always considered him as just a friend. Little voice in her head “how long will you be angry and refuse to let love happen”. The voice annoyed her and she woke Mpho up and she wanted to leave.
The church service went great, but it was taking too long. It started at 8am and was scheduled to end at 3pm. Around 12 noon Yoza told her friends that she was leaving. She wanted to see Mpho. This time around it was not the sexual desire that pushed her to see Mpho, she wanted to cuddle, and she felt guilty that she left in the morning even though her heart was telling her otherwise. When she got there she was the one who was lovie dovie and Mpho welcomed the new behaviour… it was good. Even though none of them said to the other “I love you”. I can say they seemed to be in love. Let us leave them there for now…
Monday came and around 4pm, just after all her classes were finished she got a call from Mikateko, she was almost annoyed with it because she had been bluessing(sp) about Mpho the whole day that day. She answered and told Mikateko that she would honour her promise and come fix his cable later. It would have to be after 6 after he had got back from work.
She put her school bag in her flat then made herself some bread and eggs and she went to Mikateko’s flat to fix his cable. She did not bother calling because it wasn’t that far. If she could not find him when she buzzed at the entrance then she was just going to turn back. “Hello” he answered the buzzer. “Hey, its Yoza here.” “Okay cool, come one up”.
She went up, she knew the flat because her acquaintances used to live there, she knocked on the door and he opened. Behold what she saw! Her heart almost stopped. She had a mini heart attack there for a few seconds and she fainted while standing. What she saw was not something
