FINDERS KEEPERS

TWENTY

I bumbed into mr M on my way back to the room, he just passed me by without any goodbye, well... It's not like I was expecting it or something because they guy barely said 10 words to me ever since we met.

Judging by the way he looked, I can only guess that whatever they were talking about didn't go well, because these two are like two bulls in a kraal. So I can only imagine how Kagiso is feeling. Instead of going straight back to our room, I went to reception and greeted the lady there.

"good day mam, how are you?" she had a welcoming smile.

"I'm good thanks how are you?" I tapped the counter with my fingertips.

"I'm good" she finished typing on her computer and focused on me"how can I help you? "

She had a nice smile, I even found myself smiling.

" do you guys have any muffins here? Blueberry maybe? "

She smiled at me.

" yes, those are our chefs speciality, would you like them? "

" yes please "

She picked up the phone and made a call." hy bree, do you still have the blueberry muffins in the kitchen? "she paused and listened to the person at the end of the line." very well then... "she looked at me

" how many would you like"

I pouted my lips thinking about how many I would like.

"six?"

she smiled and told the person at the end of the line.

"and I bottle of bottle of wine please" she smiled and nodded her head.

"should we deliver it to your room or-?"

"no it's fine, I'll wait for them right here"

"okay man" then she hang the line, "if you can kindly wait over there for me please" she pointed at the couch opposite the reception area.

I walked to our room with a basket, it had blueberry muffins. A KWV cabernet sauvignon wine and strawberries dipped in chocolate, complements from the lodge.

When I get in, I find him leaning by the island counter, he's in sweatpants and a vest, barefoot. The way he is, I can clearly see how defined and well built he is, he doesn't go to gym but he has a nice body, ripped muscles and all that.

He chuckles and says - "don't look at me like I'm some kind of snack"

I laugh and walk towards him.

"well, you one fine ass snack let me tell you"

He too laughs and pulls me towards him. Planting a kiss on my lips. It's so strange being intimate with him like this.

"what do you have here?" he peeks inside the basket. I place it on the counter and push it towards him.

"mood lifting snacks" he smiles showing his last tooth.

"I have something better in mind" he pulls me even further into him and snuggles his head between my neck and places wet kissed, it's ticklish so I laugh and wrap my arms around his neck and stand on my tippy toes so I'm the same height and him. His lips lock with mine, I clung onto him and release a moan, he does the same and pick me up, walks with me to the couch and sets me down, settling on top of me.

He hicks my leg around his waist, and moves my panties to the side before I feel him enter me.

I can never get used to his, he cups my best still In my brest as he moves in and out of me, lips locked, he picks up his pace.

We on the floor, naked eating our food, he keeps biting my ear and kissing my shoulders sending tingles in my tummy.

"do you want to talk about what happened earlier?" I ask him.

"more like do it again" he bites my ear, making me giggle.

"no silly, I mean with your father"

He stops and sigh. "don't worry yourself, I can handle him"

"that's not what I asked" he chuckles and kiss my cheek, he's overly too affectionate. Or maybe that's how he is.

He sighs before he answers. "it's the same old, my dad and I never really got along quite well"

"why?" I take a sip of my wine and look at him.

"he just expects too much from me, some things I'm unable to do, he's just... Too much you know"

I nod my head, not because I understand, but because I hear him, I feel him.

"our biggest fight ever is Maya, he's never been a father to her, I'm basically all she has, I don't understand why she treats her like that, I mean she is his daughter too righ? So why treat her differently?"

"what about your mom?"

He laughs. "I love my mom, but she never stands up to him, it's like everyone is afraid of him, never go against him"

"was he ever abusive?"

"no!" he quickly defends him "he is anything but not abusive, trust me on that one"

"okay" I bit the strawberry, he opens his mouth so I feed him some.

"he was hard, but never raised his hands on either one of us, even Maya, but then, abuse is not only physical. Anyway... Let's not talk about that, let's occupy ourselves"

He pulls me on top of him and pulls me down onto him. "ooh my God!" I grab onto his shoulders and bit so I dont scream out loud.

"aah, f**k!" he cusses. I stay put for a bit so I get used to his length before I start moving

KAGISO

Immediately when we got back home, I met up with Mulcum, of every one else, I know he's the right person for the job, he has a soft sport for Ora, I tried playing dumb to it, but now... Now I'm using it to my advantage.

"sup man, I got here as soon as I could" he settles down on the couch next to me and waits for me to respond.

"my father is out to get me, I need those papers finalized now..." He looks at me and remains quite. Clearly contemplating something.

"tell me exactly what those papers were for, because I had a crazy Millano Burge in my office wanting me to tell him what the hell your plan was"

I knew it would get to this, but I need someone in my corner, I maybe if I have him, all could actually go right.

"it was all set up by my father, he killed her parents for something that's in that land, I don't know what but I know it's of outmost importance to him,i need to know what's in that land before we give it to her" he looks at me and stands up, he goes out to the door and locks it and comes back towards me.

"Mahlangu, you and I have known each other for long, now be honest with me"

He folds his arms and leans by the table. I sigh and and rest my head on my arms.

"I can't tell you everything, but I really really need you. You have to help me on this one please"

"why?" - Mulcum

"what do you mean why man? I just told you why"

"no... I mean why do through all these lengths for a land? Going as far as marrying her?"

"How do I answer that, I don't even know where to begin, things are far more complicated than that man" I answer truthfully.

"well... Clearly you not willing to disclose anything, but then, promise me that this is for the greater good for Ora, please" I knew that he would come through.

"I promise" he nodded his head and opened his breifcase.

"Here, signed sealed and I'm delivering, they came in my mail last night. They officially belong to Oratilwe"

Now that was fast. "thanks man"

He packed his things and headed out. After a few minutes, I stood up and went to my chair.

I can say... I did nothing at work, i have the files in my breefs, I don't know if I should use them against my father or actually give them back to Ora. She doesn't deserve what's happening to her, at the same time, time is not on my side. I pick my phone and make a call.

"hey, how far are you?"

"well, hello to you too" I chuckle.

"hello Oratilwe" I say.

"Kagiso" she says "I'll knock off an hour from now, why?"

"no reason, I'll see you soon then"

I hang up and walk to the fridge to take out beer and open it with my teeth, I take the first sip same time as I untie my tie, and walk upstairs.

When I get to the bathroom... I start with my shoes and take them off, I place my beer on the knight stand and walk to the bathroom. When I get inside the shower. I let the water out and lean my head down, letting the water cascade down. I'm seriously caught between a rock and a hard place, I know everything would be easy to just do as I'm told, but how far will it last for? How far is this thing going to go on for?

I wrap a towel around my waist and dry myself with the other one, I walk out and and head to the closet. I pick out a short and vest and walk. I stop dead on my tracks when I see who is inside my room.

"what the f**k are you doing here?"

"ooh come on, you know what I'm doing here, apparently you need some motivation, I'm here for that" she says, standing up and walking up to me.

She takes a sip from my drink that's now in her hands and runs her manicured arms across my chest.

"you are not supposed to be here" she looks at me and chuckle.

"little miss lesbian gave you good huh?"

I feel my heart beating fast. She walks around in the room, admiring everything in here. "the place looks nice, I give her that"

She had a short hair now, dyed it blond. She always loved her hair long, it's one thing i can say they have in common, their fluffy hair.

"you know you not supposed to show your face here for at least three months" she stops walking and looks at me.

"you know why im here Kagiso, you need to keep your end of the deal, I'm just here to remind you. If you don't. Cccccccc"

"Geet... You know I -"

"Kagiso... Kagiso" I stop talking and we both look towards the door, I don't know why, but my heart Is beating fast, like I'm caught doing something wrong.
