I like you too

We've been at Edgar Chagwa Lungu (ECL) mall which was named after the president of Zambia for about fifteen minutes now. I needed hair products, groceries and of course three 2L bowls of ice cream. I've loved ice cream since I was a kid, who doesn't? Izzy told me he was by Garden Court Hotel next to ECL so we'll meet them outside.

Yazz tells me she's going into a mini mart to get something. I go into Jewel of Africa and purchase necklaces for everyone. The first is Ina's, personalized by putting her name on a tiny foot and her date of birth on the love shape attached to the foot and a pink ion glowing shamballa bracelet.

For Yazz and I , I got broken heart necklaces written "Best bitches" so I'll have half the heart and she gets half. I also got her a baby pink ion shamballa bracelet. I got myself a threaded black shamballa and a sterling silver bead shamballa bracelet. As for the necklaces, the first one has two little feet and Ina's birthday at the bottom while the other one is a stainless steel necklace with a mum suckle baby pendant charm. The last thing I got is a secret.

Yazz comes back and we decide to get waist beads as well. I choose beautiful goddess waist beads and five simple but elegant anklets. Ive been wanting waist beads for so long because they are amazing. Not only do they symbolise our African culture but they also make you look sexy as hell. Some believe that they are used to check your weight gain or loss while others believe that they protect them from evil. However, I love waist beads because they show off the beauty of the African queens. It also symbolises feminity and sensuality.

Beauty is the sun as it rises in thy east and that is why we are proud to be Africans not because we live in Africa but because Africa lives in us. Waist beads can be worn by any race and they'll still look beautiful on you.

We walk towards the exit and I see Izzy chatting. As we walk towards them, they notice our presence and help us carry our bags, typical gentlemen. Izzy opens the door for me. I carefully get in because I don't want Ina hitting her head anywhere and it would wake her up. In less than two minutes, we are home already.

It's already 5 pm and I decide to start on dinner because I feel lazy to cook when it's late.

"What do you guys want to have for dinner?" I ask Yazz and the boys.

"Anything" Ben says. I make my way to the kitchen. I settle on grilled beef, fries and a coreslaw salad.

My mind goes back to Luca, what he's doing, if he's with another woman or working. When the food is ready, I turn off the stove and turn around bumping into someone. I look up and find Izzy looking back at me.

"You scared me" I say while placing my hand on my chest.

"Sorry I didn't mean to". He takes a seat on one of the stools.

" You seem to be a good cook" he says looking at me intently. I smile remembering how I learnt to cook.

"My mum taught me how to cook, she was an amazing cook and was always in the kitchen" I say staring into space.

"What do you mean was? Isn't aunt Emally your mum?"

"No she's my mum's young sister, my mum and dad are late"

"Sorry I didn't mean to ask, thought aunt Ema was your mum."

" It's fine"

"Who was black between your mum and dad?"

"Mum, dad was caucasian"

"Mmmmm interesting, beautiful come here" I walk towards him and he lifts me placing me on the kitchen island and looks me in the eye. He places his forehead on mine and sighs.

"I like you mamas"

"I like you too"

Our foreheads touching, breathing each others breath. In this proximity, my breath gets caught in my throat and his sweet fragrance is all I can smell. We close the distance and our lips move in sync and there's tension building up, maybe a sexual one. We fight for dominance and he wins, tongues turning, my hands tugging his hair and his hands are pulling my body more into him. He bites my lower lip, I feel him getting excited on my tummy. As much as I like this, nothing compares to him and no one can take his place.

My phone rings interrupting us but before I can pick up the call, Izzy bites my bottom lip pulling it while smiling. I check my screen and it's Martin calling.

"Hi baby sis how are you?"

"Im good thanks u?"

"I'm good, how's the little angel?"

"She's fine and she's sleeping."

"That's great. I have something to tell you" he says getting all serious.

"I'm all ears bro". I say while looking at Izzy typing on his phone.

"Luca asked me about you and I said I didn't know where you are. He also said something about a video of you on instagram." When he says that, my heart starts beating erratically.

"Can we talk about something else" and it went on like that for an hour and a half. I eat my dinner because everyone else had theirs while I was on the phone.

I go to the living room with two bowls of vanilla ice cream, four spoons and two fleece adult blankets, one for Yazz and Ben while the other one is for Izzy and I.

We switch off the lights and start watching sniper ghost shooter. Im interrupted by Ina's cries and I run to my bedroom.

"Hey my love, mummy is here" I pick her up and rock her. She doesn't stop crying, so I breastfeed her before giving her a warm bath and dress her up in warm clothes.

Immediately we enter the living room, Izzy tells me he wants to hold Ina. After showing him how to hold her, he places her head on his chest while holding her back. Yazz and Ben are all cuddled up and later start kissing. Woah,what have I missed?

"Ewwww, you'll make my baby go blind"

"How is she going to know how she was made?" I throw a pillow at her and continue watching the movie.

When the movie ends, the boy's leave. Yazz switches off the other lights while I make Ina's bottle. Ina starts crying, she's pooed in her diaper. After changing her, I sing her a lullaby because it's the only way she goes to sleep at night.

Yazz comes into the room after taking a shower. Giving her the shamballa and our broken heart necklace, she gets teary.

"Awwww I love you too best bitch" she says with laughter.

"I love you more and don't say that word when my baby is in the room."

"Don't forget I'm part of some aunt's" I shake my head .

We chat a little more and go to sleep. As darkness is about to consume me, I see a face non other than Luca's.
