FINDERS KEEPERS

SIX

Its been over a month since I've moved in... The legal papers have been finalised and *sigh* I'm married, shocker I know but yeah it is like that. In as much as I hated this at the beginning I'm slowly comming to terms with it. We've reached an understanding, at first I wanted to make my own demands, I wanted my freedom but I saw that me leaving would put a whole lot of strain on our 'situation' so as to put it. Cavin wouod need a caretaker, yes he has a nanny but the child is just as good as mine truthfully speaking, and I know it's the right thing to do. I sent Yona a text telling her about my situation and she flipped, then stopped talking to me for a week but we are fine now. We meeting after work to talk properly because she's back in town now.

Kagiso :"Ora can I see you in my office now"

I followed him to his office, he looked tired and drained, must be all the meetings he's been to. I don't know what's going on but things aren't looking good for the company. His father and uncle have called a family meeting for the coming weekend and as the dutiful 'makoti' I have to be present. Note the sarcasm.

Kagiso:"close the door please"

He discareded his tie and threw his blazer on the counchv and slomped down on his chair making it swing in the process.

Me:"what's you"

Kagiso:"I'm flying down to cape can you please check cavin for the day?"

There goes my plans, phew.... Out of the window

Me:"what about Nancy, can't she guard him?"

He puffed out a sigh rubbing his tamples in the process

Kagiso:"she asked for a half day, something about a family emergency. I couldn't particularly say no you know, she's been with me trough out and never asked for anything"

Me:"mmmm... I get you, I was gonna meet up with Mayona but I gue_"

Kagiso:"your deadbeat girlfriend"

Lord have mercy, I didn't want to get into things so I agreed to take cavin with me, although it mean that I had to cut my day shot.

We both walked out of his office, grabbing my bag and phone on the way and make way to the elevator.

When we got to hkme we found Nancy pacing up and down.

Me:"hey Nancy"

Nancy:"here"

She just shoved cavin to my hands and walked ou.

No hello no nothing. Well I can't blame her she doesn't particularly like me. Nancy is or rather was Geets best friend, she and Geet had plans to open a day care for her but I guess life had other plans for her. I don't understand her coldness towards me but then I'm not one to like people either so guess what. She can go jump off the nearest lake I won't care.

Me:"hey baby... Hey cupcake" he was laughing grinning with no teeth, this has got to be the cutest baby ever.

Me:"did you make poopo,? Huh? Poopo. Mmmh mmmmh" I fanned my slef on the nose making him giggle . "come on now, let's go"

I don't know where Kagiso disappeared to but hey...when baby cav was here I barely noticed anything.

By the time I had to meet up with Yona I was dead tired from all the playing we were doing, Kagiso didn't leave immediately, he stayed a bit to play with us Ihe left an hour ago. I like that he spends time with his child, some parent won't cope but he is. Although sometimes he snappes but it's only fair because he has a lot going on and his family isn't being lenient on him.

We were just gonna meet at Rocco mammas so there really was no need for me to go all out to impress, the mall was just around the corner, ten to fifteen minutes away so there was no need for a lot of things, I just wore leggings with bicker jacket since winter want all out and wore tigh high boots. I took Calvin's bag that had his diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes. I made him two bottles of milk and put him in his troller,

Me:"me and you my young man, are about to meet new people aint that right?"

I took a flees and cover the troller.

Yona:"hey and then?"

She asked thst pointing at the troller.

Me:"Oooh yeah, Kagiso is out of town"

Yona :"so what? You being the wife and mother now"

Mayona never stoppes I rolled my eyes and sat down.

Me:"please stop, and I offered"

Yona:"yeah right"

I called the waiter and ordered a glass of wine, I am gonna need it with this one.

We had our meal in silence, not that I minded, cavin was sound asleep so it gave me time to relax and not to have to check on him time after time.

Yona:"when am i gonna see you again?"

Me:*sigh *"I don't Mayona"

Yona:"what do you mean you don't know?"

Me:"exactly that"

Yona*sigh*"look Ora, I know I'm an ass at times but I wang this okay"

Me:"yeah well you have a funny way of showing it Mayona, your work always comes first but mine must take a back seat, that's not fair"

Mayona:"yeah i know babe, that's why I've decided I'm not going anywhere for a month, I'm spending it with you"

Me:"dude, a month? You kidding me right?"

Mayona:"come on love(she held my hand) it's the best I can do at the moment, you know my job requires me to travel a lot"

Yeah well kill me for that.

Me:*sigh*" yeah well I guess I'll take whatever I can get"

She squeezed my hand as a thank you sign. After eating we strolled the mall until I was time to go home, my feet were super painful, Mayona insisted on taking us home so we went to her car.

She walked us all the way to the door

Mayona:"he suits you you know"

Me:"huh? Who"

Mayona:"the baby, you'd make a great mother"

I unintentionally snorted

Me:"yeah right"

She chuckled and walked closer kissing me on the cheek. I raised my eyebrow in question. Dude better not be doing this to me. She chuckled and placed her lips on mine. Mmmm. Now that's what I'm talking about.

She moved her lips and we were kissing, in a way it felt a bit strange, maybe it's because I haven't seen, touched or kissed her in so long that I forgot how it feels like.

She walked out smiling which made me smile but it immediately vanished when the door opened and the devils incarnate stood there shooting deggars my way...

She stood there throwing daggers my way, why on earth is she here? I swear the devil is rejoicing with my life.

Ma'bee:"what is she doing here?"

Puffing out a sight I passed her and made my way to the kitchen.

Ma'Bee:"dont walk away from me now"

Me:"MA! What exactly is it that you want from me now?" I'm really tired and not in the mood for her fights.

Ma'Bee:"you need to stop seeing her Ora, if your inlwas dares to find out they would go crazy you know that?"

Oh My God! This woman is unbelievable.

Me:"all you care about is your damn in laws, what about what I want?"

Shifting from her position she walked over to me

Ma'bee:"it is in your best interest my dear. Imagine all the riches you could inherit, you practically married into royalty Oratilwe don't be so stupid."

Picking cavin from his stroller, she took his food that I was preparing and walked out of the kitchen, but not before making her point known.

Ma'bee:" she's not what you think she is, cut her loose, it will be good for the both of us. "

What exactly does this woman want from me really? Can't I ever be happy? Plopping myself on the couch I released an exasperated sigh. I need to go to church really. The devil is testing me to the full extent.

I guess I must have dozed off on the couch because I was woken by the doorbell ringing. I stood up to get the door. Who could it be at this time of the night. I got startled immediately when I opened the door. A tall muscular man, with dark green eyes, I scar across his eyebrow and tattoos creeping up his neck. WHAT THE-...

The guy didn't even allow me to let him in, he pushed me the way and walked up inside

Me:"excuse me, what the hell..."

He still didn't answer me, he walked up to the stairs. He's overly too familiar with this place.

Me:"what the hell... Who the hell are you to walk inside peoples homes like that"

I grabbed him by his tailor made suit, looks like it's Italian but who cares, this guy is trespassing here.

Ma'bee:"Oratilwe it's fine. Millano" she said that with a bitter taste in her mouth.

What the-?

Guy:"aah... Boitumelo, we meet again" even this scary creepy guy was acting all weird. His pronunciation of Boitumelo was quite funny.

Ma'bee:"what are you doing here Alexander"

Guy:"you know what I want, where is he?"

MA bee turned to me then back at this Alexander guy,

Ma'bee:"Ora please go to your room, and take cavin back please, you" she referred to the scary guy "follow me"

They walked down the passed then out the balcony. Doing as told, I went to get baby Cavin from the room Ma'bee was sleeping in back to his room. Checking the time on the clock, it read a minute after two in the morning.

What the hell... Trying not think too much about it I went to make a bottle for cavin then went back up to give it to him since he was slightly up from when I was carrying him.

I went to take a shower to calm myself down, sleep has deserted me.
