A love like yours

Unshaken

Samkelo: We're here. Wake up babe, we've arrived.

I'm woken up by Samkelo shaking me roughly and wipe the drool off the sides of my mouth. "Oh, I was just resting my eyes. " Why did I even say that?

Samkelo laughs out loud and throws his hands in the air as a sign of surrender. "Okay, he says. But what's important is that we're here now. "

I walk hand-in-hand with him into this, dingy, smelly house that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in decades. This is where we're sleeping? I ask in utter shock, mainly shocked that Samkelo drinks a woman if my demeanour, of my calibre could live in these poorer than poor conditions. The electricity is not well connected and I can just see the headlines now. "NEW COUPLE FACES THE BURN."

Samkelo:Why don't you like it?

Me: Of course not it's just. different, you get me? Now I'll have to be for longer. My life is just one huge message that I can't fix, no matter how hard I try.

Samkelo: Don't you worry about a thing. Soon, I'll get you out of here and into a mansion where you be with your live in helper who'll do everything for you while you rest your feet on the coffee table and order her around.

Me: Then why haven't you? That question catches him by surprise but I couldn't care less, I'm waiting for an answer. If

Samkelo: Why haven't I what? He's thinking of a lie hrs gonna spin me now, I know these stupid little games men play by now.

Me: Why haven't you bought me a mansion yet if you're just gonna do it? That would simplify life, don't you think?

Samkelo: It's under renovation. We'll dome for your ruining your surprise Maggs.

Me: The only person who "Ruined" anything here is you. you shouldn't have told me about it in the first place if you're really serious.

Samkelo: Come on now, don't you think I'm a little too old to be playing games?

Me: I would never know. I'm beginning to think you wanted me to get out of living lusciously for... This.

Samkelo: Okay, tell me, what should be done now? What can I do for you Take you back? Because you can have that if you want. I'm a hard working man and I try to make sure you have everything you need but if that's not enough for you, surely we can work something that's more suitable to your needs out

Me: That won't be necessary. Sorry I'm just a bit on edge today. it wouldn't hurt to kiss that Amber's doing okay wherever she is.

Samkelo : I thought you didn't care. He enquired. Now how I answer this? "I thought so too. " I reply openly and honestly. "But now..." Within seconds, he's behind me massaging my stiff neck and shoulders, begging me to calm down. I don't know why I had my doubts about him because he's an amazing guy hey...

Samkelo: Sorry I have to take this.

Me: But I didn't hear it ring. He's already on the phone by the time I finish my sentence. Now that's something I won't allow, I don't ever have my phone on silent so why should he? What's he hiding? Probably a girl his age.

Samkelo: Sorry about that. The person I'm most loyal to just called. Wanna meet them?

Me: I can't guarantee ghat I'll be nice to her though.

Samkelo: Who said it's a woman?

Me: Can you say what you want to say already? I think you can also tell by now that I'm not in the mood.

Reece: Hello again Maggie. You timing piece of trash. You didn't think I was dumb enough to marry you in community of property, did you? I had a prenuptual agreement drawn up and you... Doll face, were too damn excited to even notice. "Ignorance is bliss huh?" Not so much my dear. Now, because we don't beat women up here, I'll oh easy on you. I'll just let you sign these divorce papers so that everything that belongs to me comes back to me. When Samkelo found that it's actually my wife making moves on him, he immediately told me about it. I played the fool while plotting my revenge against you but decided against avenging myself, I'll let poverty be your punishment. maybe then you'll start thinking clearly and not like a b***h.

Me: Leaving you was the best thing I could've ever done for myself. Yes, you got me! But I wouldn't go back to you even if you offered me the world. You think I still loved you? I cheated because I felt incomplete with you! Not because I just felt like it! I cheated because k didn't love you anymore! I sold amber off because that fool wasn't good anyway. So you think I'm scared that you use this place for your shady dealings? Kill me. Go ahead and do it. I'm not afraid of you.

Reece: Just sign here.

Me: With pleasure. And you... I say pointing to Samkelo. Grow a pair and then walk out like I have anywhere to go to. I've just signed everything off, even that that I own to Amber's dad, but it doesn't matter. I'd rather be poor and happy than wealthy and miserable.
