Miss Chubby

Chapter 16

It’s Monday morning and I am going to JHB with Xoli and Mabutho. Xoli has been in contact with owner of the building, the one in North Cliff and has secured a face to face meeting today during lunch, at 1 pm. Zamokuhle drives us to the airport. We are an hour early so we go through all the airport procedures and then go wait for our flight to be called.

Xoli: “how does it feel staying in the same house with Dr. Lee?” she says looking at Mabutho. They have been teasing him the whole weekend behind Lee’s back. He grunts and put on earphones. We just laugh at him. “Where are we going to sleep?”

Me: “at Lele’s house.”

Xoli: “I think you should include my name and phone number in your business cards so that when people don’t reach Zah, they can also contact me.”

Me: “I am loving the new you. You are not he shy Nomxolisi anymore. You are free to speak your mind. Tell Zah about the business cards thing.”

Xoli: “sure boss.” 

An idea comes to my mind while sitting there, I take out my notebook and pencil and start drawing. I told you once I start drawing I disappear to my own world. Xoli shakes me and I look at her. “Our flight is being called.” I look at the time on my watch, the time to board the plane has arrived. Mabutho is already standing with our bags on his hands. I close my notebook, stand up and stretch my arms. We go board the plane at 7 am and as soon as I am settled in I continue where I left off with my drawing. After an hour or so a flight attendant announces that we will be landing shortly. 

We finally land at the OR Tambo airport and head outside. Mabutho leads us to the parking lot. Here I thought we were just going to use Uber. A man hands him car keys and then leaves. Mabutho opens the door for me, i climb in and Xoli also climbs in on the other side. He puts the bags in the boot and get on the driver seat.

Me: “whose car is this?” Mabutho drives out of the airport.

Xoli: “a rental. I figured you don’t have a car here so I rented it.”

Me: “I hope you didn’t use your money.”

Xoli: “well I kinda did. I don’t have access to your money and I don’t want the access.” She speaks so fast.

Me: “please remind me to open a bank account for such expenses.” She nods. “What’s your account number and how much money did you use?” she answers and I quickly make the transfer. “Next time please use your money if it’s an emergency.”

Xoli: “yes boss.”

Me: “let me just apply for a card now and will collect it tomorrow.” 

Mabutho: “boss where are going?”

Me: “just drive to Randburg. I will direct you to Lele’s house once we get there.” 

I love that the lady I am meeting is closer to Lele’s place. I continue applying for the card. After I am done applying for it I sit back and just close my eyes. My mind drift back to the conversation I had with Kuhle on Friday. Kuhle is definitely shitting on me. He really thinks I will just agree to be his second wife whereas I haven’t even thought of getting married ever since I started DCC. Royal people really think they are entitled or something. While I am thinking I just drift to deep slumber.

‘Khokho: “he is near.”

Me: “what are you talking about Khokho?”

Khokho: “they have chosen him for you. He is coming.”

Me: “can you please stop talking in riddles? Speak in clear sentences.” She chuckles.

Khokho: “you are just like your great-grandfather. Forever impatient.”

Me: “how can I not be impatient? You are supposed to warn me and deliver messages not proverbs and riddles.”…

Voice: “Futhy wake up.”’ the person shakes me hard and I open my eyes.

Me: “what’s up?”

Xoli: “we have arrived in Randburg.”

Me: “ohh okay.” I sit up and direct Mabutho. We get to Lele’s house at 9 am and head inside. It looks clean and there is no dust meaning maybe he hired someone to clean his house. “I need to finish something quickly. You can make yourselves comfortable. You can even order or cook. You can also rest in any of the rooms downstairs.” 

I head to my room. I place my bag on the bed. I take off my coat, heels and also place them in the bed. I take out my notebook and pencil. I have a drawing board with a stand and tracing paper here. I also have that combo at home, in Morningside. I sit in front of the desk and start sketching what I have already started on my notebook. Someone knocks on the door while I am halfway through the sketch. 

Me: “come in.” Xoli peeps in.

Xoli: “it’s 12:30. Come eat so that we can leave.” For me time stands still when I am sketching. 

Me: “thank you.” She closes the door. 

I stand up, put on my coat, heels, take my bag and head downstairs. Lele’s house has 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs. I get to the kitchen and find these 2 eating. Xoli gives me food and I also eat. We finish eating and then drive to the meeting venue. The meeting is actually at the building I am interested in buying. A young lady meets us at the entrance and leads us to the boardroom which is at the ground floor. We get and get settled. 2 minutes later a lady who looks like she is in her early forties gets in followed by whom I suspect is her assistant. 

Mrs. Collins: “Miss Cele.” She smiles and stretches her hand. I stand up and shake her hand, she also offers Xoli a handshake. She then sits down. “Can I offer you something to drink?”

Me: “water is fine Mrs. Collins.”

Mrs. Collins: “please call me Grace.” She says with a polite smile.

Me: “can you also call me Futhy?” she chuckles.

Grace: “fair enough. So you are interested in buying this building?”

Xoli: “yes we are.”

Grace: “how much are you offering?”

Xoli: “name your price.”

Grace: “okay. R6.5 million.” My eyes nearly pop out.

Me: “why?”

Grace: “you still have to furnish it, change paints, renovate if you like. My line of work is not property so I don’t see a need for me to charge too much for a building. I am also human. The previous owner also sold this building to me at an unbelievable price.”

Me: “wow okay. You can set up the paperwork and contract and you can forward it to my lawyer.”

Grace’s PA: “what’s her email address?” I exhale out loud. I still can’t believe this.

Grace: “you better believe it Futhy. This is the chapter I wanna close in my life right now.” She pronounces my name like Footea. I chuckle.

Me: “it’s advnbiyela1@g*******m” the PA jots it down.

Grace: “I guess that concludes our meeting. She will send the contract as soon as possible. You will receive the title deed after the payment has been made. It was nice doing business with you Ms. Futhy and Ms. X.” she stands up and we exchange handshakes.

Me: “it was a pleasure meeting you Grace. I hope we can work together in the future.” 

Grace: “me too. Please do invite me when you finally launch this branch.”

Me: “you will be the first one to receive the invite.” She smiles and we all head out. We get to the car. “Did you guys buy groceries?” 

Xoli: “no. we only bought takeout.” 

Me: “Mabutho drive to Northgate. We will buy food there. And also one bottle of champagne to celebrate just for control.” Xoli giggles.

Xoli: “Grace is generous. Like I was expecting her to say R13 million. That’s where most of the buildings I have seen range at, some range higher. R6.5 million, that’s the value of your parents’ house.”

Me: “I know right. I am still shocked. I feel like this is some kind of a prank.”

Xoli: “you were just lucky boss. You should thank your ancestors.”

Me: “definitely. They deserve a fat goat.” They both laugh. I really need to appease my ancestors before I open both these buildings. 

We get to the mall and get inside. We shop for grocery and then head to the restaurant to grab a bite. We enter and I see a man who is about to exit. His eyes are on his phone, he doesn’t see where he is going. I just stand and when he is about to pass me I tap his shoulder. He just says sorry and continue walking. I chuckle. “Dr. Hlongwa!” he raises his head and turns. He just laughs when his eyes land on me.

Hlongwa: “My favourite student.” He comes and hugs me. “Long time no see.”

Me: “you also wouldn’t have seen me if I didn’t call out your name.” he laughs again.

Hlongwa: “stop being dramatic. How about you introduce me to your friends?” he says looking behind me.

Me: “aren’t you in a hurry?”

Hlongwa: “for you I can spare 5 minutes.”

Me: “let’s sit down then.” A waiter leads us to a table of four. We place our orders and Dr. Hlongwa only orders juice. “This is Nomxolisi my assistant and Mabutho my bodyguard. And guys this is Professor Lethukuthula Hlongwa, my former lecturer and employer.”

Xoli: “you hired your own student?”

Hlongwa: “she had so much potential. I couldn’t miss the opportunity of taking her under my wing and mentoring her.” 

Mabutho: “how did you feel when she said she wanted to start her own company?”

Hlongwa: “she is like a child to me. So to me it felt like my child is asking for a blessing to pursue her dreams. I gave her the blessing wholeheartedly because as much as she was doing great things in my company, I knew she was destined for greater things.”

Xoli: “you’re so kind.” He blushes and looks down.

Hlongwa: “I try. So how long are you going to be here in Jozi?”

Me: “why?” he laughs.

Hlongwa: “they are hosting a celebratory dinner to honor me at Wits on Friday so if you’re still here, no you are definitely coming.” I laugh because that’s an order. “I should also flaunt my mentee in front of those haters.” We all laugh.

Me: “I will try.”

Hlongwa: “no don’t try, be there. I will also tell my wife that I saw you.” His phone beeps. “See you on Friday night.” He kisses my cheek and then heads out.

Mabutho: “I have heard about this guy and I have seen him in magazines and newspapers. I thought he was serious and all strict. Guess you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” Our food arrives and we start eating.

Xoli: “so are you going to the dinner?”

Me: “you wanna see Wits?” she smiles and nods. “We are leaving tomorrow but we will come back on Friday midday.” 

We finish eating, I settle the bill and then we head back to Lele’s house. I take a shower and just wear a short summer dress. I sit in the lounge watching TV. Xoli comes in and tells me that I have a visitor. A visitor? In Jozi? Yoh news travels fast. I tell her to send the guest in. she disappears and come back with Sandile. I just laugh and stand up. I meet him halfway and we share a hug and a kiss. He sits down and pulls me to sit on top of him.

Me: “don’t cry to me when you stand up and don’t feel your joints because I am heavy.” He laughs and plants kisses in my neck. I just giggle. “How did you know that I was in Jozi?”

Sandile: “I felt it.” I roll my eyes.

Me: “you stalked me.”

Sandile: “whatever that makes you sleep well at night.” 

Me: “you’re brave. What if you found me with another man here?”

Sandile: “I would’ve joined you for a threesome.” I laugh and bury my head in his shoulder. “I am taking you out for dinner tonight.”

Me: “you finally get the dinner date you have been longing for.” He chuckles. “Let’s go chill in my room.” we head there, he sits on the bed. I see the sketches, I quickly wrap them and put them on the storage tube.

Sandile: “you are even working here?”

Me: “rest is for the dead. My ancestors work overtime and they always give me ideas.”

Sandile: “come here.” 

I go and sit on top of him. He leans in for the kiss, our lips linger for a few seconds, and then I open my mouth and accept his tongue. The kiss is so deep and passionate. I am weakened by it. I squeeze him tight as our tongues dance back and forth, and I can feel his d**k growing, I am so wet right now. I break the kiss and push him to lie on the bed. 

I take off my dress and the look on his face is exactly what I was hoping for. I take his one hand in mine and move it up to cover my one breast. My n****e is hard as stone and begging for any touch right now. I grind my hips into his erection and moan, it feels so good. He is wearing sweatpants so I just pull them down and they slide down his legs. He takes off his t-shirt too. His upper body is covered in tattoos. Tattoos are a turn off but his are so hot. 

He sits up and take one breast and starts sucking it. I moan loud and grind harder on his erection. He switches on to the other breast. Ohh God, the pleasure I am feeling right now is on another level. I just take his d**k and put it inside me, the way it fills me up, Dear God I see the heavens opening. After 2 rounds we finally lay on the bed trying to catch our breaths.

Sandile: “and here I thought I was going to wait for you until you’re ready for us to be intimate.” I chuckle.

Me: “I am not your 90-day-rule girl or 5 dates before s*x kinda girl.” He chuckles.

Sandile: “well I know that now.” I sit up.

Me: “let’s go take a shower and you leave so that I can prepare for the date.” We go shower and have another round. We seem to be addicted to each other. We finish showering, he gets dressed and then leaves.
