The haggle

Under the tree I'm listening to music I'm watching the sun set on one of the best views in Durban. I received a call from my male bestie saying he wants to see me wonder why cause I was with him all day . I took my bag and called an Uber to come fetch me since I'm an intern at Durban hospital. Hi I'm Luthando motloung born in a small town called eSbongile KwaZulu Natal South Africa. I left my home when I was 17 years after matric because my father remarried another wife and this one used to abuse me I couldn't tolerate it anymore. My mother left us for another man who went to live in USA with her, dad told me she left a note I still have it to this very day. I am the first born in my family and there are six other kids following me but we don't share the same mother. I am a dark skinned girl with Afro hair I put on blue or sometimes green eye contact. I am short and thick, I have a tiny voice. As I was saying I took an Uber and went to the location he sent me. I arrived it was 19:00 as I arrived I saw his car and went there. He saw him since he his tall. He was leaning next to his car looking at the beach it's very chilly outside and I forgot my coat. You see it's Durban, winter here is like autumn. I look at him he looks very handsome today. How come I didn't notice. With his light skinned and brown eyes Gosh this guy has been my crush ever since University. He also got a new hair cut maybe he wanted to show me that he can be so dramatic. Ohh his name is Sandile Sikhumbuzo Me: Sandile you called. (he turns back and looks at me) Sandile: Luu!( ohh gosh I love it when he calls me that) Me: why did you call me! Sandile: You look cute tonight. Me: Sandile nkosiyami (my god) Sandile: Okay I wanted to show you my new cut.(I told you he wants me to see his hair cut) Me: You have got to been kidding me . Sandile: I'm joking. There is something I wanted us to talk about it's very important. Me: Okay can we get in the car I'm cold. Sandile: How about we go eat somewhere? Me: Pay day today? Sandile: Yes! Me:Okay let's go to Macdonald. Sandile: You like that cheap place don't you. Me: No Sandile it's not cheap. (this guy is unbelievable macdonald is everyone's favorite but hey we don't all like the same thing) Sandile: Okay but I'm not going there I don't wanna lose my reputation. Me: Okay let's go to a restaurant. Sandile: At least that's better than MacD. He opened the door for me and we left to one of fanciest restaurant and as we got there I felt a bit ashamed cause people were wearing formal clothing and others expensive clothing and I was just wearing my mini dress with my Nike sneakers and socks. Sandile pulled a chair for me and we sat as a waiter came and gave us the menu and we had to order. Food in here looked so expensive and I have Never tasted anything yet. Me: Sandile what are you ordering? Sandile: I'm still looking why? Me: I want to order what you order. (he laughed at me and said) Sandile: If you are worried about the cost relax I got you.( I was like whaaat. This guy has he seen the prices fries cost R500) Me: Okay I'll see. Sandile: just a reminder the less the price the little the food. Me: I know that. Sandile: Stop worrying. I can see you looked worried.(this guy knows me so well.) Me: Yessir. Sandile: Wish you can say that in ... . (I didn't hear him) Me : What was that? Sandile: Ohh nothin' . Me: ohh okay. The Waiter arrived and he took our orders and left so I asked him Me: So what did you want us to talk about. Sandile: Luu there is something I wanted to tell you ever since we started being friends Me: Sandile you are scaring me what's that? Sandile: Luthando ever since I saw you that day with your friend walking towards me I suddenly fell in love with you ( and with that I dropped my phone as I was putting on my bag) Me: s**t my phone! Sandile: Is it broken? Me: it's cracked ohh gosh I don't have money to fix it. Sandile: I'll fix for you Luu. Me: No I can't accept that I dropped it. Sandile: It's my fault. Me: it's fine Sandile keep talking I just got shocked. Sandile: No it's fine I don't see the point. Me: What you were just going to tell me that important thing. Sandile: It's not important anymore. Here take this for the bill and for the Uber I forgot I gotta do something. ( He stood up and walked away) Me: Sandile!! Sandile!! Sandile!! (he just kept walking more faster as I said his name.) What's wrong with Sandile. The Waiter came and gave me the food and I requested for a takeaway and the bill. I can't sit here and eat alone. Plus I was already ashamed from the first place. The Waiter came I paid and took the food and I waited outside for my Uber . As a tall dark skinned guy approach me. He dropped his pen but didn't saw I took it and went to give it to him. Me: Hey sir you dropped your pen. (He looked at me like I had something on my face) Me: What?! The guy: Thanks for my pen. Me: You are welcome.But why are you looking at me like that The guy: No Reason. You just looked cute.(I blushed as i also looked at him who was also handsome. wait when did I start liking dark skinned guys I like the light I'm not racist though) Me: Thanks The guy: What's your name? Me: Luthando The guy : Luthando I love your name. What are you doing here so late it's dangerous for someone so adorable like you.(I blushed again. No actually this time I got butterflies) Me: I'm waiting for the Uber. The guy: I'm not trusting people with you. lemme drive you home cutie.( I am cold so why won't I ride with him he seems trustable) Me: Okay. He pointed out his to his car and he opened his car just like Sandile does for ohh s**t I completely forgot about Sandile. Wait this guy is driving my dream car a Mercedes G63 Brabus Damm I'm literally smiling The guy : Why are you smiling? (ohh s**t I've been caught) Me: This is my dream car. The guy: Someday I'll let you drive it or even borrow you even. (He puts on doja Cat Agora Hills. Wait he also listens to doja Cat Damm) Me : You listen to doja Cat? The guy: No I just love this song. It's perfect to perform.(perform?? perform what? I'm not even going to ask.) Me : Ohh. The guy : You can change the song if you like. Me: okay.( I put on my best Song Right here by Brandy. I see him moving his head. score on me for me) The guy: Girl I love you already.(wait I don't know this guy's name I'll ask him later don't wanna ruin the mood) Me: That's my gem. The guy : Damm I'm flirted. Me: Thank you. The guy : my pleasure cutie. So tell me what were you doing in that restaurant it's very expensive not that I'm judging or anything Me: My friend took me there said he wanted to tell me something important. As he was talking I dropped my phone as I was shocked when he said he loves me. The guy: I'm listening. Me: I don't know what he thought he suddenly got jumpy and left me with money to buy an Uber and the bill The guy: I'm glad he left money but I'm sure he thought you don't feel the same way as you dropped your phone. Me: I never said that. The guy: As guys usually think funny you know. Me: But I don't get it I never said anything. The guy: Yes you didn't but as you dropped your phone during his speech said a lot to him. Me: I messed up but I was confused we have been friends ever since I got here The guy: We arrived at your place now. we will talk later can I get your number Me: 0*********. (s**t lemme ask him his name) me: I didn't get your name The guy: It's Nqobile. Me: Nice nice The guy: Thank you Thando. I must get going we will see each other Me: Bye I want to my apartment it was 23:32 wow time flies you know. And I'm so hunger ohh s**t I forgot to give him his jacket its kinda cold outside. I took a bath while eating and I took my phone and tried calling Sandile 6 times but nothing. I hope he is fine. I called my close friend buhle to check up on her Me: Bee. Buhle: Luu sup. Me: my friend Buhle:spill the beans Me: Mind coming here I got food. Buhle: I got drinks Me: woza phela ( just come) Buhle: I'm on my way open the door . Me: It's not locked.
