There's Bliss At Peace

Chapter 2

NOMHLEKABO

" And then? Where's Liyani and who's that guy you were walking with?" my brother said as soon as I sat at the front seat.

" Liyani is with her young loving boyfriend and that guy is Christopher and he's not gay."

" Did I say I want him? Hlehle don't you dare insult my sexuality like that. "

" Hai angithi(Isn't it that) you only ask me names of people you like, what was I supposed to think? "

" Why didn't you think that I'm actually asking you his name cause you were walking with a guy, Hlehle what happened to crying when a boy approaches you? Hlehle you are too young to be walking with a boy, if I see you with a boy again, hell will break loose. "

" Just like Mpumi and Bianca are too young to be f*cking with you, " I said after laughing.

" Nomhlekabo uyang jwayela, ngizok shiya la mina, you'll see how you'll get home. " ( Nomhlekabo you are being disrespected, I'll leave you here, )

" Ngiyadlala buti wam o'muhle, but nawhe stop dating young girls you'll get arrested and Christopher was accompanying me to the gate since I apparently forget where the gate is and Liyani couldn't accompany me to the gate. "( I'm kidding my handsome brother)

"Mxm and those girls are older than 16, put on your seatbelt."

" Buti wami ngilambe, yohhh ngathi ngingafa," (My brother I'm so hungry, I feel like I'm gonna die)

" I'm sure Mama Bee made lunch," my brother said. Mama Bee is our helper, she was my nanny. Now she cleans the kitchen and makes food for us, she also cleans my room once in a while and do my laundry, we also have Sis Pat who cleans the house and do the laundry for the others.

" But I want rips and don't tell me to order online cause I wanna eat at spur. "

" Hai Mihle ka baba ( Dad's Mihle), I'm not your boyfriend"

"So should I get myself a boyfriend?"

" Fine, we'll go to spur, I shouldn't have fetched you."

"I love you too bro."

Christopher

"How was your first day at school baby?" my mom asked as soon as I entered the kitchen

"It was fine mom," I replied.

"See, I told you you'll like it here," she said before hugging me and kissing my cheeks.

" But y'all should've just left me behind, you know my school is also a boarding school right? " I asked.

"I couldn't leave you behind, you're my little baby."

"Mom I'm a grown a*s man and I'm moving out next year," I said.

"No you're not."

"But mom I'm going to University next year and I don't wanna study here."

"But Cape Town also has the best universities and I think studying here will be a great idea," my mom said.

" Mom you just wanna baby sit me for the rest of your life."

" And how is that a bad thing? You are too young to be out there by yourself."

" I'm not doing this with you now, I had a great day and I don't want you to ruin my mood. "

" So school wasn't just fine, but it was great instead? "

" Mom I'm hungry, "I said ignoring her question.

" Your lunch is in the microwave and there's fresh juice in the fridge. "

" Thank you mom, " I said taking my lunch in the microwave, it's Mac and meatballs with sliced pineapple on the side.

" Home made orange juice? " I said while taking out the juice in the fridge.

" Just the way you like it. "

" Thank you mom for making my favourite. " I love my mom so much, she's my favourite person in the world.

" Chris!" my little sister said while running towards me.

I picked her up and spun her around before kissing her cheeks .

" Hey princess, "I said before putting her down. Okay my mom and little sister are both my favourite people in the world.

" I have so much to tell you! " she said

" I'm sure you do, " she always tells me stories of what happened at school and well they're sometimes interesting, just because they're stupid and funny..

My sister is in grade 2, I actually have 2 siblings. I also have an older brother, Josh. He annoys the hell out of me but what can I say? You don't choose family. My mom, dad, little sister and brother are all white except for me, I'm coloured . Don't ask me if I'm adopted cause I also don't know, they don't wanna tell me anything. I don't even know how to ask them. Honestly speaking, I feel like an outcast in this family. I actually think my dad is not my real dad and my mom is my biological mom cause I kinda look like her and I have her eyes, thank God I don't have her nose, it would ruin my handsome face. Not that my mom is ugly, no she isn't, it's just that I prefer my nose this way, the way it is right now.
