MENZI
I feel someone kissing my neck . Yhooo baby girl, you can’t be doing that early in the morning .
Me : mhm.. mhm
I tries to get her off my face but baby girl is busy .
I open my eyes. Only to find her dog lacking my face .
Me : what the f**k Ace ?
He jumps of the bed an starts bucking.
Me : where’s your mom?
I gets off the bed . Imagine , a good morning kiss from a dog.
Me : Thalande your dog .
She comes in running.
Her : what happened?
She knees and plays with Ace . I hate this , I hate to see a dog in my room , my bed .
Me: he was licking my face.
Her : that’s cute . He loves you.
Bullshit , now my skin. Jesus Christ !
I rushes to the bathroom , I wash my face .I brush my tooth.
I hope she was making a breakfast. I’m very hungry.
Me : how did he get here ? He was not here yesterday late .
Her : my brother brought him here. He’s going to cape Town . He didn’t want to leave him alone in the house.
Me : whatever , I’m hungry . What are you cooking here ?
I opens the pot . Ohhh , nice .
Her : are you going somewhere today? I was thinking….
Me : yes , I’m going somewhere.
Her : where is somewhere?
What the f**k ?
Me : I’m meeting up with my lawyer and the surrogate..
Her : so , the surrogate thing is real ?
Me : yes ..you know how much I want a baby .
Her : you know Menzi , I want to give you a second chance but you always finds a way to disappoint me.
Me : I’m not cheating on you, she’s just a surrogate.
Her : you’ll fall in love with her because she’ll be carrying what you’ve always wanted.
Me : it’s good thing that you know that I’ve always wanted a baby and you went ahead and prevented behind my back.
Her : I’m not ready to be a mom .
Me : she’s so much ready to be a mom.
She opens her mouth and closes it again .
Me : I’m going to take shower . I’ll eat when I’m done .
I walks back to my room. I’m not ready to have another debate with her.
I’m so ready for a day . My body is relaxed. I really needed that cold shower.
I hope she’s done with the breakfast. I found her watching TV in the lounge . She turns and looks at me.
Her : the breakfast is in the oven.
Me : thank you .
Her : I see you are able to make the time for her but you are always busy when I need to spend time with you.
Here we go again ..what is wrong with this girl?
Me : this is a meeting not fun time Thalande . Why are you being like this ?
Her : because I hate that you don’t want to make time for me .
Me : I was busy with work .
Her : you said you don’t need that job, you have your own small business. Quit, try to make time me . Show me some love .
Me : I said I don’t need my job? The job I went to Varsity for ?
Her : yes , you promised me .
Me : I think I was drunk when I said that . I’ll never leave my job for no one , not even for my daughter . Please forget it sis .
I don’t feel like having this breakfast anymore , I’m full .
Me : bye , I’ll see you when I come back.
I text Sambulo. He needs to fetch Luchumo. I’ll drive myself to the office.
