#67 I get home and as soon as I step on the front door, I realise how bored I will be the entire weekend. Lunga and I are meeting later because we had both thought I would be returning late from Port Shepston and beside his surgery will be open for half a day. i go to the nursery and pack away some of the girls toys that are on the floor when Im done I take a throw and go to the lounge to watch some TV. I can feel myself drift off and I don’t fight the sleepiness, I close my eyes and sleep. I wake up some hours later, just after noon and I go to the kitchen to make myself some lunch. I make toast with butter and apricot jam with a creamy cup of tea on the side, my phone starts ringing in the middle of my meal. I check the caller ID, its sandile automatically my mood changes. Me:” hello” sandile:” hey, how far are you from home?” me:” Im at home already” sandile:” ok, please tell dad to answer his phone” me:” Im not in port shepston, I thought you were referring to our home” sandile:” oh, when did you get back?” me:” I didn’t go, anele took the girls and I saw an sms she had sent 2 hours ago that they arrived safely” sandile:” and zodwa? Where is she?” me:” I gave her the weekend off” sandile:” so you are alone” me:” yes” sandile:” can I come visit” me:” don’t start” sandile:” fine, enjoy your weekend” me:” thanks you too” he stays on the line instead of hanging up, so I do the honours for him and I end the call. My phone beeps immediately after that, it’s a text from lunga: I’M MISSING YOU I reply I MISS YOU TOO, SEE YOU LATER. He responds I DON’T THINK I CAN WAIT THAT LONG, IM DONE FOR THE DAY AND NOW I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. I reply IF YOU CAN HAVE A JUICY MEAL WAITING FOR ME, I PROMISE I WILL BE THERE IN A HEART BEAT I’m looking at my phone with a ridiculous smile on my face eagerly waiting for lunga’s response, instead of texting back he calls. Me:” hey you” lunga:” hey love, how are you?” me:” Im good and you” lunga:” having you here with me will make me better” me:” mmmm” lunga:” please get your glowing self here and I promise that you will have your meal with the dessert of your choice” me:” i’m on my way” lunga:” one more thing, I know I might be asking too much but could you spend the night or better yet the weekend? Please” me:” lunga…” lunga:” lethu please” me:” I’ll spend the night” lunga:” thank you baby now will you please excuse me I have a mean meal to prepare for my two babies” I find myself with the joker’s smile, me:” I have to pack a few things” lunga:” bye, love you” me:” me too” we hang up, I wash the plate and cup that I had used and I go to my bedroom and start packing, I include some formal wear just in case I over stay and for me to have clothes to wear to church. 30 minutes later Im good to go, I arm the alarm system and I leave. I get to lunga’s place s few minutes after 15:00, he comes out to meet me and carry my overnight bag and purse. He takes my bags into his bedroom and only then it kicks in that he might be expecting to get some tonight. Im not ready to give away the password to unlocking the padlock, at least not yet…
