Vumile.: "Good afternoon Good people..." RA walked to them

Tiara.: "Hi."

Naledi.: "Mhhhhh, I am fine.." She said nodding. They broke the hug..

Naledi.: " TIA..?!!"

Vumile.: "Wait you know each other..?" He said looking at them. They ignored him..

Naledi.: "I Guess you will never forget that name.." She said laughing.. Vumile and RA walked out with the Marinated meat going to the Grilling Area. Also giving Bo Gurls some privacy to catch up.

Tiara.: "Mxaga.. Soka..You are so hilarious when you try to be a badass.."

They talked and talked busily laughing about their memories back at boarding school.

Naledi.: "Mogurl What happened to your feet..?... Please don't tell me you still like to cut yourself.. You promised me you will stop...." She asked worriedly

Tiara.: "Agg.. Dear, it's a long story, I don't want to talk about.."

Naledi.: "And I am not going to force you to. But I hope you didn't break your promise." Said pouring herself some wine. "Oh, Let's get started ka di salad(with some salads)." Said opening the Refrigerator for the ingredients still holding her glass of wine with the other hand. Her face fell when she saw that salads were already prepared... "Mxm... Ohho!!...." Tiara chuckled...

Tiara.: "I feel you, ReA knows how to make a person feel useless.."

RA.: "What did you say about me..?" They flinched a little bit. He said Standing across the room with his hands in his pockets.

Naledi.: "It's something you don't want to hear Buti(Bro.). On top of that, you are interrupting our girls' talk.."

Tiara.: "Yeah, we are talking about you, not wit..." Naledi pinched her. Tiara was getting Inebriated, "Ouch!! Lady maan wa ntematsa..(You are Hurting me..)" RA just ignored her, He knew she was going through shit.. Mara, he was pissed off... For being disrespected by a woman...

He took beer in the Refrigerator and walked out...

RA.: "The meat will be ready in a few minutes.."

Naledi.: "Ok Buti.." She then looked at Tiara. "I wouldn't do that if I was you.."

Tiara.: "Do what, I was just being honest.."

Naledi.: "It's like you are forgetting that I know you in and out.."

Tiara.: "And what does that have to do with what I said..?"

Naledi.: "You have a thing on him, and I can see how you look at each other.. "

Tiara.: "No!! No!.. I am not. Having a thing on someone is the last thing on my mind.."

Naledi.: "Your mind is telling you that.. as for your heart..."

Tiara.: "Mxm, I hate it when you are playing these mind games of yours". Naledi chuckled...."Being in a relationship is the last thing on my mind dear... I just came out of a relationship that left me broken down to the core. But I told myself that I won't let it complicate my life....."

Naledi.: " Girl power and Amen to that...." She stood up." Let me set the table..." Tiara chuckled again..." What...? Do you mind sharing the joke..?."

Tiara.: "We are using the rooftop garden. The table has already been set up.."Naledi.: "Mxm. You know, I wish he could teach his cuz his manners, That niggar is too lazy to even think about doing his chores..." Tiara Laughed, the wine was not doing justice to her, Followed

Naledi.: "But at the end of the day I love him dearly and there's nothing i would trade him for in this world..." She said Chuckling...

Naledi.: "Tsala(Friend) can I ask you something...?"

Tiara.: "Ask no questions and I will tell no lies."

Naledi.: "Do you think you could work.?.."

Tiara.: "I don't know ok..."

Naledi.: "Your heart knows...."

Tiara.: "Are you saying, I must give us a try.."

Naledi.: "I don't know, is that what your heart is telling you.?"

Tiara.: "But I just told you that I just came...."

Naledi.: "Who cares....?"

Tiara.: "What do you mean..I care about my happiness.."

Naledi.: "Let's withdraw the topic... Anyway, how's work..?"

OUTSIDE.

RA.: "Did the cargo leave the port..?.. Cape town is going to be tight lately..."

Vumile.: "I knew it was you..."

RA.: "Now you know, answer the damn question.."

Vumile.: "Mxm. I will forget that you are my cuz...And kick your ass until it melts into cooking oil.." RA laughed..

RA.: "I am not your fucken cuzz. He is, not me, so watch your words...Just because you are his cuzz doesn't mean I won't beat you up badly.."

Vumile.: "Try your luck..."

RA.: "Let's get inside, While we still cool with each other..."

They walked inside..... And found Tiara and Naledi still sitting in the kitchen area.

Naledi.: "Rato o sharp.?.(Love are you ok.?.).."

Vumile.: "Yah... Ke sharp babe. (Yes I am fine.)... "

They walked away going to the rooftop leaving Tiara and RA alone...

RA.: "Let's go upstairs..."

Tiara.: "I don't want to..."

RA.: "Why..?"

Tiara.: "Why did I have to hear from Naledi that you are leaving town tomorrow.."

RA.: "Firstly I didn't know you would be interested Secondly I don't report to you... You are not my wife nor Girlfriend..No offense.."

Tiara.: "It's fine, none taken. But I thought I was a Friend.."

RA.: "I am sorry ok...."

Tiara.: "Nah, don't be..."

RA.: "I will make it up to you..."

Tiara.: "With what.?"

RA.: "Weekend getaway to Paris.."

Tiara.: "What.?, Nah I can't accept that. A box of chocolate will do..."

RA.: "Ohk... We cool.?"

Tiara.: "Of course we are.."

She gulped the wine... She raised her arms and RA lifted her. A few minutes later they were gathered around the table eating. With smooth jazz music playing in the background.....

Tiara.: "Ma V.?"

Vumile.: "Yah sure.."

Tiara.: "How was he, growing up.?."

Vumile looked at RA.. His face was just expressionless, fixed on his plate eating...

Vumile.: "A badass behind the scenes and a very sweet child when Elders are around. He would climb a tree and shoot people who are going to church with a slingshot...Later that day he would greet them as nothing happened.." Tiara and Naledi Chuckled. The wine was doing a number on them especially Tiara since she would gulp trying to drawn her sorrows. She was getting comfortable, but not completely though.

Naledi.: "And no one would not find out who is the perpetrator...?"

Vumile.: "No one except for me..."

Tiara.: "Aren't you going to say something...?" She said poking RA with her elbow...

RA.: "I am waiting for him to finish up... I also have an embarrassing story to tell about him..."

Vumile.: "Bro I hope it's not Gogo's saga... Look man I will buy you one of the expensive whiskeys..."

Naledi.: "Which one..." She said chuckling...

RA.: "So we were coming from school.. hungry AF. We found Aunty cooked stew. Gogo had visited us from PE. While aunty was dishing for us, Gogo called him and he went to her and returned with her plate full of meat. Mr. Greedy started eating without sharing with me. I just let him be.. While he was busy eating, Gogo came to the Kitchen...." RA chuckled.

Vumile.:"Mxm." Vumile was getting bored.

Naledi.: "What happened,.?" Asked interested.

Tiara.: "Yeah, what happened..?"

RA.: "Gogo was like... Ugqibil'ukutja sizukulu Sam..?.(Are you done eating my grandson...?)" He said imitating an old lady..... " Mr Greedy was like ewe Makhululu.. enkosi.(Yes Grandma thank you..).. then she said... Hayi nyana Ku bulela mna, Kanene mna andinawo amazinyo.. ndiye ndai mucha mucha nje ndayi buyisela e platini.(You see I don't have teeth..I just sucked the juices and returned the meat on the plate.). Before Makhululu finished her sentence, Mr. Greedy was already running going outside following his puke...."

Naledi.: "(Laughing) Ewwww!!.. Why did you tell us that though...?."

Tiara.: "(Laughing.) Ahhhh time out time out.!!! I can't breathe...I am surely having abs..daim my stomach aches..."

Naledi.: "Ahh.. Baby that's why you don't like stew..."

Vumile.: "Thanks bro..."

RA.: "Ledi.?"

Naledi.: "Yes Buti..." She said trying to wipe her tears...

RA.: "There are things I have for you from your brother...He told me to give you them the day after his burial.." Tears started gathering on the edge of her eyes again. Vumile held her hand, brushing her gently with his thumb...

Naledi.: "What things Buti..?"

RA.: "Can we go somewhere private..."

Naledi.: "There's no need...You can present them here..."

RA.: "Ok.." He reached out to a bag below the table....and placed it in front of her. She unzipped the bag peeped inside then Looked at RA...

Naledi.: "You know I thought he was joking when he used to say when he is dead he wants me to add his dreads on mine so that I can carry him around...and that way he will always be with me."

She started sobbing painfully..... Vumile gave her a tight hug..

Tiara.: "Oh.. Baby, please don't do this to me.. I hate to see you crying..." She was also teary...

Vumile.: "Babe.. Please don't cry, you are going to make me cry too.."

She said nothing, she just hid her face on Vumile's Buffy chest.....

Vumile.: "I think we should leave. So that you can rest.."

Naledi.: "No, babe I am ok.. I mean I also still have some catch-upping with Tiara...It will keep my mind busy..."

Vumile.: "Ohk.. Babe.."

RA stood up, Taking plates on the table.

Naledi.: "Buti He.e yanong(No now). We will do the dishes.. Yoh.!!..."

RA.: "I don't think so..I mean look at you...you are Inebriated you are going to break my plates.No offense."

Naledi.: "Ok...None taken .Makoti... Right..." She looked at Tiara..

Tiara.: "Yeah.."

RA.: "What did you call me.?"

Naledi.: "Haah, Nothing Buti.. I was talking to Tiara..."

RA.: "Naledi hake setlatla..(I am not a Fool..) You are indirectly calling me Makoti, using Tiara.."

Naledi.: "(Giggling).. Ahh I wouldn't dare.."

RA.: "Haksa bua lwena..(I am no longer talking with.)" He walked out with the plates. Vumile Followed..

Naledi.: "Buti..?"

RA.: "Huh.?" She laughed.

Naledi.: " Now.?"

RA.: "Mxm.."

Naledi.: "Love you."

Vumile.: "Love you too.."

Naledi.: "Hai wena, not you.." Vumile showed her a middle finger. She busted out laughing...

Tiara.: "You know you inspire me..."

Naledi.: "Why are you saying that, Tsala..."

Tiara.: "You are a hell of a tough cookie... Kono kono, ke bua ka yone Rusk geh...I don't think I would be even smiling if it was my Brother who is deceased...."

Naledi.: "You know he always used to tell me gore I must not cry when he is dead because he knew what he got himself into. I must just live my life to the fullest because tears won't bring him back but will just waste my time. He would also say if I miss him, I must just light a joint.... Imagine mgane.."

Tiara.: "Ncuh, Lady I am sorry for your loss baby and I am sorry I couldn't avail myself for the funeral. I hate this job, I had to attend that funeral of that police officer who shot his wife, mistress and later shot himself."

Naledi.: " I understand tsala(Friend), when duty calls duty calls.."

Tiara.: "He was a great brother, and hella protective. Do you still remember when he chased that guy, who forced to accompany me...."

Naledi.: "That day...I still feel sorry for that guy, whenever I see him..."

Tiara.: "Does he still like to stand at the corner.?"

Naledi.: "Yep...He even opened a carwash, and sells veggies.."

Tiara.: "Ohh, really.?..Good for him. "

Naledi.: "Anyway, enough about that punk. Ere ke chese dai Deng...(Let me lit that thing..)" She said taking out a joint

Tiara.: "Yeah.."

Naledi.: "And since when are you a stoner."

Tiara.: "A once-off thing won't kill me.."

Naledi.: "Yoh ok.."

They started stoning themselves... Busy laughing their ass out. Concocting it with wine and Space-cake..... Things were starting to turn into shambles. Every ten minutes they would lit a joint. Talking and laughing also flirting with each other.

Naledi.: "You know I will always be in love with your lips."

Tiara.: "(Giggling). What's with my lips Kante.. People like to look at my lips when I am talking, not my eyes, Especially ReA.."

Naledi.: "Agg shut up, ReA this ReA that.." She smashed her lips against hers they started kissing with soft moans in between. Then Naledi had an idea, to conclude everything. She started to slowly play with her nipple. Slowly went to her cookie jar still playing with her nipple and Kissing her. She then clamped her clit with her two fingers and played with it in a slow circular motion...

Maintain a constant pace...

Tiara.: "Mhhhhh.. oh my god Ledi what are you doing to me.." she said with her eyes closed.

Naledi.: "I am not Ledi, could you please Address me as Reatlegile just once.." Said trying to imitate RA.. she started increasing the pace

Tiara.: "Oh... Gosh, ReA. Mhhh... ReA... ReA mhh.." Naledi tried to not laugh when she saw that her idea is working.

Naledi.: "Do you love it or should I stop.?"

Tiara.: "Yeah yes! Yes... Yes...I I I no I mean no! No.. . Ohh gosh. ReA... Mhhhh ahhhh... Oh my gosh.. fuck.." Naledi kept on massaging her clit..on and on and on, increasing the pace every now and the. ". Ahhh I think I am going to cum.. oh hllllmmhhh God... Yes faster. Ahhhhhh Mhhhh.. yes.. yes... Ouuuuuuuuuuahhhhhmm.." She ejaculated and started breathing heavily with her legs trembling. Naledi laughed ...

Naledi.: "Mmata I told you, you love this guy..." She didn't say anything she just kept on moaning...

RA.: "What are you two doing..?."

Vumile.: "Naledi, O dira yang selo se se tshwanang le seo mara..(How could you do something like that mara.)"He asked with a pissed off tone..

Naledi.: "Babe look it's not what you think.."

Vumile.: "Agg save it.." he rushed out going to his car.....

Naledi.: "Babe wait. Please listen..."

RA stopped her from running after him.

RA.: "Let him calm down... Trust me you don't want to talk with him when he is like that. I will drop you off...Take the bag and wait for me downstairs.. While I take this one to sleep..."

RA picked Tiara Up, she crossed her legs around RA's waist. Walked to the elevator.

ON THE ELEVATOR

Tiara.: "ReA..?"

RA.: "Mhhhhh."

Tiara.: "Please kiss me please." She said kissing him all over his face.

RA.: "Cease, What you are doing please..."

Tiara.:"No.!! I don't want...to.. " She said caressing him all over. She tried giving him a head...

RA.: "Damn it Tiara stop it ok..!! You are drunk, you don't want to do that..." She started crying.

Tiara.: "Is there something wrong with me huh.? Am I not sexy enough for you huh..?.."

RA.: "You just don't understand... because you are drunk..."..

Tiara.: "Make me.. make me understand..."

RA.: "We will talk, now is not the right time...."

RA.: "Sleep ok.." He said tucking her in.

Tiara.: "Mhhhhh."
