This is Us

Chapter 6

Ayden: Can y'ull catch us up

Me: You know Derian called the other day and sadly I was too stressed to talk to him

Natasha: Drue has been asking about you too

Katelyn: They want to do a threesome with you

Themba, Katelyn, Natasha and I burst out laughing. They boys were so lost and Dante looked pissed. It actually made me laugh even more.

Me: Katelyn you going to get me in trouble

Sandile: Anyone care to tell us what's up?

Natasha: We met Kate, Paris and Themba at the mall

Jason: When you say we?

Natasha: I mean Natalie...

Adam: Wait, Natalie was there?

Natasha: Yeah and she also gave Paris a kiss

Adam: When I see her... Even the Lord won't be able to help her

Natasha: Oh and Dorian, Nicole was there and she also kissed Paris

Dorian: It seems like we going to lose all out girls because of you Lala

Me: Blame Themba

Themba: Woah who said look like me

Me: You!!

Themba: You still gon get an ass whopping though

Me: I'm sleeping with Katelyn tonight

Papi: No you not

Me: But...

Papi: Don't care

Deon: I'm so glad Zoe is not like the rest of y'ull

Mario: Or Veronica

Jason: Or Marica

Sandile: Or Mbali

Ayden: Or...

Me: Okay we get it

Ayden: Jone

I just stared at him.

Ayden: What? You didn't let me finish now stop staring at me like that

Just then the rest of the girls walked in and went to their partners. Well just made my job a lot easier. Although I don't like how rude they are, they should at least greet.

Papi: You girls might want to greet before my woman over there blows up

Them: Oh sorry Queen/ Thank you for welcoming us in your lovely home / It's an honor to finally meet you

Me: Call me Paris

Natalia&Nicole: Oh my gosh París!!! You look so different

Nicole: Natasha why didn't you tell us that He was a SHE!!

Natasha: I just found out today

Natalie: Now wonder her lips taste better than a guys

Nicole: Softer too

Natasha: Y'ull don't know nothing, girl here got lip game

Boys: Excuse us!!

Dante: That's my wife y'ull talking about... Baby come here

I walked over to him and sat on his lap. He gave me one Hella kiss till Themba pulled me off him and I was back on his lap again.

Themba: This is still my little sister you ass and you(pouting at me) I'll beat you into next week

Mbali: Damn you guys are so protective of her

Boys: Actually we all have to be

Veronica: I feel like she's more important than any of us

Ayden: She is

Jone: Excuse me?

Sandile: He's right girls, it's sad but true

Marica: But why?

Jason: Dante. If anyone wants to take him down then they have to just get a hold of the Queen here

Sky: Hard truth. If any of you guys were to get kidn*pped we'd search the whole world looking for y'ull

Veronica: What if they keeping us to get to Dante

Mario: He'd let them kill you if they threatening to do that

Dorian: Hopefully they'll realise that they no longer need you and let you go

Zoe: If they don't?

Adam: Them you guys are good as dead

Girls: That's mess up

Dante: It's not messed up, it's the truth. I'd kill for Mami and I'd even give up my throne for her. She's my woman and she comes first. I won't give up anything for anyone but her and I also don't take nonsense when it comes to my woman

Themba: Kim learnt that the hard way

Dante: And you all will if you don't watch where you stepping. If Mami sheds a single tear because of any of you then y'ull pray I don't find you because when I do, I'll kill you

Me: What happened to Kim?

Silence..... I walk over to Dante and look straight into his eyes and they told me one thing

Me: She's dead isn't she

Dante: Yes

Jone: Wow didn't think he was this serious

Zoe: I'm glad I ain't Kim

Me: Who killed her?

Themba: I did

Verónica: Even the brother kills for her

Mbali: So the rest of you would kill for her?

Boys: Wouldn't even think twice about it/ With just a blink of an eye

Me: Why?

Dante: She wanted to kill you

Me: Ohh

Dante: You not mad?

Me: Baby you can't be a gangster and not be a killer

Themba: And here I thought I was about to get an ear full

I just pulled his ear again.

Themba: Damn I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Me: Let me call the kids down for dinner

Natalie: I'll go get the burgers from the car

Zoe: We'll set up the table

Me: Papi please show them where everything stays

Papi: Señorita

Me: Sí señor

Papi: Quién me acompaña al baño?

(who's joining me to the bathroom)

Me: Mí

(me)

He walks over to me and his index finger caresses me cheek slowly as he leans over my shoulder and inhales my scent.

Papi: Tęsknię na za rozmową z tobä

(I miss talking to you)

Me: Nienawidzę kiedy to robisz

(I hate it when you do that)

Papi: Pareil

(same)

Me: Quesque tu fais tu me perds ici

(wait, you're losing me here)

Papi: Madame

Me: Monsieur

Papi: Quesque tu fais ?

(what are you doing)

Me: Rien

Papi: Bien

Themba: Can you guys go s*x each other in different languages somewhere else

Papi: You read my mind.. Shall we?

Me: Sí

(yes)

We walk upstairs to our room and head straight for the shower. Once the aster was perfect we got in and I'm immediately pinned to the door. As we're kissing without warning Dante enters me. It hurt since I was still tight and not that wet but I got turned on even more. He kept slamming into me hard and fast. His thrusts filled with possession and anger.

Papi: Who's is it?

Me: Yours Papi

Papi: Who's is it?

Me: Yours Papi

Papi: And don't you ever forget that

His voice had so much authority and control. Just as I was about to c*m he pulled out and closed to taps. He carried me out and threw me on the bed. He grabbed one of his ties and tied my to the headboard. He then turned me around and I was now kneeling on the bed. Next thing he s*****d me. Hard. He s*****d me again, and again, and again.

Again he slammed into me and f****d me senseless. Just as I was about to c*m he flipped me over and f****d me missionary. He put both my legs on his shoulders and entered me roughly. That just gave him more access and the pain was out if this world. I wanted him to stop but the pleasure was just too much, I wanted it, I needed it.

He than blindfolded me with a bandana and laid me on my side. He started biting me all over so I'm guessing he was leaving hickies. His grip on me was so tight as if he was holding on for dear life. He held my waist and slammed into me. He pulled my leg over his waist from the back and again thrust into me hard, fast and deep.

He did different potions and each time I was about to c*m he'd pull out. Our last position he f****d me so hard as we both reached our c****x and cummed at the same time. Relief. He laid on top of with Mkhize still inside of my nub. We were both breathless and I was burning down there. My legs felt so numb.

Dante: I will f**k some respect into you again if you ever go around kissing other people

Me: Yes and I'm sorry, it will never happen again

Dante: Good but just in case...

I felt Mkhize get hard again and but this time we made love. Once we were done Dante ran us a bath but the water hurt my nunu too much.

Me: Baby it hurts too much

Dante: Come we'll shower instead

When the water started getting cold we got out and Dante just stared at my naked body. I had hickies all over my neck and chest, also other places. My ass has fingers all over and they were red as hell. My waist was also covered in fingers. I tried peeing but it hurt so badly. It took me over twenty minutes to finally get all the pee out because I kept releasing it in droplets.

When I was done I walked slowly to the bedroom and got dressed in grey sweatpants and a grey jersey. Dante noticed my struggle and just carried me down the stairs. I felt so tired and weak so I laid my head on his chest trying not to sleep.

Sandile: You guys have been gone for almost two hours

Dante: We got held up with something

Mario: Put her down

He slowly put me down and I just stood still balancing on him.

Deon: Dante we need to go get some drinks. Can you leave your wife for just two minutes?

He let go of me and walked over to the boys

Dante: Mami come help the girls set up

I have him a death stare and he just chuckled. I slowly walked a few steps and damn it hurt. I did my best to hide the pain and my so called husband just kept laughing at me. I was annoyed but I was more focused on getting to the kitchen.

Sky: Lala what's with the funny walk?

Dante just burst out laughing and I just looked down at my feet.

Themba: You ass that's still my little sister and we're right here

Dante: I'm not apologising for what I did but I do apologise for how she looks

Themba walked over to me and removed my jersey. He looked at me pissed and all the guys were dead silent, but mainly just staring. I hadn't even noticed that my wrists were bruised as well.

Dante: Dude now you just showing off my assets. He walked over to us and helped me put on the jersey. He then carried me to the kitchen and tried sitting md on one of the chairs but my nub hurt too much. So he got a throw pillow and put it underneath. He kissed my cheek then left with the boys.

Natasha: Punishment already?

I removed everything besides my underwear and bra and they all gasped looking at me. I put my clothes back on then sat back down again.

Jone: Talk about a freak. No wonder you can't walk

I also haven't said a word due to all that screaming.

Natalie: Now I fear for my life

Nicole: What about mine?

Katelyn: I feel for mine mostly. I'm pretty sure Themba saw her and he's going to take out all his frustrations on me

Mbali: It's like they all take out their anger and frustrations on us through sex

Marica: That's Jason every night before a mission

Veronica: Sky is worse when a mission goes wrong

Zoe: I don't even want to start when it comes to Deon

Natasha: Why you so quiet Mami

Voice: No one is allowed to call her Nami but me

It was Dante with the boys and they had whiskey bottles with some takeaways. He kissed my cheek and they put everything on the kitchen counter.

Dante: And she's quiet cos she lost her voice

Mario: You damaged the poor child

Dante: Leave me alone. Mami I think you have a tare down there so I got you an ointment to use and unfortunately for me we can't have s*x for two weeks

Me: *whispering* Let's go so you can apply it on me

Dante: Now that's just dangerous, it's torture

Me: *whispering* Don't care. Now hurry because it hurts

Dante: Fine and doctor said don't sleep with any underwear on so that it can breath

Me: *whispering* Yeah and no touching

Dante: I'm sleep with Themba tonight, I'm not going to go through with this

Me: *whispering* You have no choice

Themba: Why is it you always messing with my sister's voice

Dante: It's only meant to scream my name nothing else

Deon: You got issues

He carries me upstairs and applies the ointment which was so cold and a bit ticklish. He carries me back to the kitchen and now the kids were there. It seemed like they all got along well and one would swear Junior was one of us.

Junior: Aunt when do I get to go back now? It's getting dark and it's already past six

Me: You are sleeping over

Chloé: Mom can we keep Junior?

The whole table went silent and I si desperately wanted to say yes. His story is so sad and him going back to the streets won't help change it. I wanted to adopt him but I didn't know if Dante would agree to it. I know he'd make a great big brother to all of them.

Junior: No you can't. I don't belong here and I'm not part of this family

#Dante's POV

That crushed everyone's hearts. We all just stared d I en at our plates and Chloé ran up the stairs crying and Junior followed. After a few minutes I decided to run after them. I got to her room and was crying with Junior hushing her back.

Junior: Look Chloé I like you and I like your family but I'm just not a part of it. I wish I was but I'm not and I can't be. I'll always be there for you though and if ever you need me you know where to find me. Now just because I'm leaving does not mean you must misbehave ne, I dont care what other people will say or what the situation may be I'll always be your brother and when I'm succesful, have a big house and car I'm going to come pick you up and we spend more time together ohk *he paused* *sniffing * anyone bothers you, you come get me I dont know how you will find me but I'll make sure you find me okay?

Chloé nodded her head crying and I was almost in tears myself. I barely knew the kid but already I had warmed up to him. We connected on different levels and clearly he warmed his way into Chloé and Mami's hearts. I text June telling him to get adoption papers set up and I gave him all that I knew about the kid. Told him his story and he promised to get everything done in less than a week.

I walked back to the kitchen and no one has eaten their food. Mami was just crying silently with her head buried between her knees. I sat next to her and pulled her closer to me. She cried wrapping her arms around me wetting my top.

Me: I want to adopt Junior

Silence and this time Mami stopped crying.

Me: Hearing him talk to Chloé a few moments go got me thinking and I want to adopt him. I spoke to June and he promised to finalise everything in less than a week

Mami jumped on me and gave me such a tight squeeze kissing me all over with her tears in between. After she was done I wiped her tears and she gave me another kiss.

Mami: Thank you Papi and I love you

Me: Anything for you. Let me call them back down

Just then they walked in with Junior carrying Chloé. Her eyes were red and puffy but she looked a bit better.

Mami: Now?

Me: Not yet. Let's wait for June

Mami nodded her head and she said grace. We all dug in and thankfully the awkward silence was gone. We had a bit of small talk here and there and Junior participated. Once we were done he offered to wash dishes and Mami helped. Seeing them together was beautiful and he blended on so well with us.

I ended up sleeping with Andre because I knew I wouldn't handle sleeping with Mami. Days past and we all just decided to spend the rest of the month together. We were laying low because of a job we did and the whole of South Africa is out for our heads.

It was now Saturday, March and Andre was back in Joburg with Mom and Dad. We took Chloe out of school since there was no use for her to go back. I was now in my study going through a few documents for my company since I have been neglecting it lately. There was a knock on the door and Junior came in. He sat on the chair opposite me and looked down.

Me: You know I'll always have your back right?

Junior: I know and thank you, I don't know how I'll ever repay you

Me: You're a kid so I don't expect anything from you

Junior: I've never been a kid. I've always wanted to have a family though. To have a father to watch soccer with, teach me how to ride a bike. Have a mother to cook with and just shower love to

Me: You can have all of that

Junior: No one wants to adopt a teenager

Me: What's wrong?

Junior: I love it here andre, i love your wife, i love your daughter, I love your son and i love the rest of your friends. For the first time since I was born I feel like I belong, like I have family and I hate that feeling cause I know it's something that's going to happen. I'm getting too attached to you and I think it's time I go back to the streets that way I wont have to feed myself a lie that I'm one off you

Me: So you want to leave?

Junior: Yes

Me: Can you at least leave Monday?

Junior: Why?

Me: I know my wife would be happy to have you for Sunday dinner

Junior: Sure. I owe her that much

He got up and left. I laughed just a little bit though. If only he knew that's he's already a part of this family. The next day everyone was busy preparing for dinner. The boys and I have been preparing a permanent room for Junior and it was going to be our surprise to him. Mami had also gotten him a gift and she was the one that was going to break the news to him.

Breakfast was fun but Junior was a bit distant. Chloé wasn't getting any better but she was adjusting to everything and so were we.

#Junior's POV

This family has been really good to me but I can't keep playing myself thinking I'm a part of it. I love Chloé, Paris, Dante and the rest but who am I fooling? They are their own family and I'm my own family.

I belong in the streets not here. I've already accepted that and I'm not going to let some stupid heart want to change that. I'm already invading and crowding their home so it's best if I finally take my leave. Paris has kidn*pped me for too long now.

I spent my day with Chloé since everyone was so busy today and I didn't understand why. The ladies went all out with preparing dinner. I felt like I was part of the royal family. Even Dante's parents and grandmother were here. Told me to call her Gogo but I brushed it off since I knew I was leaving tomorrow.

Dinner was amazing and I couldn't have spent my final night here any better. After desert we all gathered in the lounge since they wanted to have a family meeting. I didn't want to go but Dante's father insisted that I join them. I sat in between him and Gogo while Dante and Paris stood in front. She was holding a gift.

Dante: We all know that Junior has been with us for the past few days now and we've all really bonded with him

Great, he's going to put it all out there that I'm leaving and here I wanted to sneak out in the middle of the night.

Paris: I know it's nothing big or fancy but I wanted you to have this

She extends the gift in my direction and I stand up to get it. I open it up and it's a shoe box. Jordan shoe box!! I open it up to be welcomed by some sweet white and red Jordan shoes. I remove them from the box and I notice a sheet inside. I put the shoes down and take the sheet out. It looked like a form for something.

I read it and tears immediately streamed down my eyes. They adopted me!! I look at Dante and Paris who were now kneeling in front of me.

Dante: Junior would you make us the happiest parents ever...

Paris: And be our son?

I just stood their frozen. Chloé got up and stood in front of me. She unzipped her jacket and her too was written "And my older brother". I was lost for words.

Chloé: Say yes you idiot

I laughed in between my tears and went to go hug them.

Me: Yea I'll be your son

Paris: We love you son

She called me son. Damn you tears?.

Me: I love you too mom

Mom: Oh my gosh he called me Mom!!

She pulled me in for an even tighter hug and just cried with me.pew

Dante's mom: Can your grandparents get some love too?

I walked over to them and gave everyone a hug. It felt so good to know that I finally have a family that loves me. To think I now have 9 uncles and Aunts, two parents, two siblings, two grandparents and a great grandmother. I excused myself and went to my room. I closed the door slightly and got on my knees.

Me: I know I dont do this, actually I never do this but

from now on I'm going to change my ways everyday

before I go to bed and when I wake up I'm going to pray

and thank you cause you blessed me with something that

many kids wish to have. Thank you God for the blessing

you poured over me, thank you for my family, my mother

and father. I know it's not by blood but they definitely my

parents. You dont have to bless me further cause you

have blessed me for life, bless other kids who wish to be

blessed like me thank you Lord. Amen

Just then I heard someone walk in. I turned and it was Dad.

Me: I was just...

Dad: Praying

Me: Yeah

Dad: Look we're glad that your a part of this family and clearly you make everyone happy including me. I love what you have with Chloé seeing as how she doesn't have much time left

Me: What do you mean?

Dad: Chloé is dying son. She has blood cancer called Leukemia

Me: What?!

I felt like my world just came crashing down on me. I just got a sister and now I find out that she's dying?!

Me: How long does she have?

Dad: We don't know for sure but it's not long. Look don't treat her like she's dying okay? Just spend everyday with her like it's her last

Me: I will and thank you for welcoming me into your family

Dad: I was just bringing our son home

He kissed my forehead then walked out. I laid on the bed reflecting on how much my life has changed over the past few days. It's weird having a mother that's also a teenager but I love her regardless. She's such a sweet soul you guys and I don't know anyone who's as humble as she is.

I went back downstairs to say goodnight to everyone and Mom offered to tuck me in along with Chloé and Andre. We started with Chloé and I could finally see that she was sick. Her skin was really pale and her smile was a half attempt. She was so light, I felt like I was carrying a new born baby.

Once she was asleep we walked over to my room and we talked for a bit. She was really fun to talk to, more fun than Dad. We even played cards till she got tired of being schooled but I felt like she was letting me school her. She kissed me goodnight and I drifted off to sleep.

#Amahle's POV

A few weeks past and it was now April. Things with Junior have been great and we finally got a school for him. Andre wanted to stay with the King so we allowed him. Gogo moved back into the royal house with Mario and Dorian. Obviously they left with their girls. The rest of the guys also left and Kim moved in with Themba.

Chloé was getting worse and yet still she refused to start treatment to the point where the doctor said it's no use. Now Junior and I were just watching her sleep. She was couching up blood and it hurt knowing that there was nothing we could do. I could tell it hurt Junior more since they were so close and I was glad Andre wasn't around to see all of this.

The boys left to go do a mission somewhere in Gauteng so the girls are coming over to stay with us till they come back. I went to go prepare dinner for us and Junior helped. We made spaghetti with meatballs since we both were put of energy. Watching someone die slowly everyday in front of you drains a huge part of your soul.

The girls arrived just as we were setting up and I asked Junior to wake Chloe up. We all ate in the dining area and Junior fed Chloé. After dinner we cleaned up and I showed the girls their rooms and Junior asked to sleep with Chloé tonight so I let them be. I got to my room and softly cried myself to sleep.
