Zee
It's hard to accept that I have to leave my parents behind and be out there alone.
This day has came pretty soon for my liking even though I am now saying hello to freedom.
We were outside waiting for my cab to take me to Port Elizabeth where I will be staying as I study...
As we continued having light conversations my cab arrived.Well it was a blue i8 Audi.I am show they pretty planned this,Audi is my dream brand car I mean!.My uncle and the driver started loading my bags as I sent my last goodbyes.I got inside the car on the passenger seat while the drive took his seat.
Well this is it, I said as I made myself comfortable on the seat.The driver started the car.I started waving for my family as they kept fading away.I guess I was crying because the drive kept calling me but I couldn't hear him until he tapped out my shoulder.
"I know it might be hard for you but we all passed that stage and it ain't hard to that point hey, give it time"- the cab drive said with a smile.
"I know but I just miss them already"
"You will be fine and by the way I am Lloyd"
"Well I am Zinzi"
"Pleasure to meet you Zee, my crying angle"
"You know angles do cry too hey ,its so quite here can I plug in my music?"
"Yes you can"
I then plugged my smooth Ali Gatie 'YOU' album and I relaxed.Those songs were hitting deep into my nerves.
Well he was talking along.He is a pretty chilled guy.He is sexy.Yes Lloyd is sexy...
When the moonlight played ,it reminded me of my ex.He was everything.He wound spend most of him time with me especially during weekends.
He would come to the park just to be with me. I cherished every moment I was with him because it was worth the time.I remember this other day when he had set up a picnic for us . When I got there his words were
"you deserve everything that brings happiness to your soul, we might break up one day but you the typna girl I see spending the rest of my life with,you only bring joy to my soul ,
you encourage me to do more even when I am on my lowest,
Zee I don't usually do this or say it but ILOVEYOU and I appreciate you"...
I felt special when I was with him,the bond we had was strong but life happened.
It was during November when we finished writing our exams,the week after the nigga started being distant and I thought maybe he wanted space so I never bothered to run after him because festive season were approaching .
It stayed like that for a week,
the week after I got a text from him ' Zinzi' it read.
I wondered because he never called me by full name only when it's serious or when he is angry.
Then he sent a long ass paragraph saying he can't be with me because he didn't want cheat on me since it's festive season.
I read the paragraph for like thousands time because I didn't know how to reply to it ,but I thought to myself he ain't mature if he is breaking up because of festive season.I replied with 'okay I understand and drink responsible and take care of yourself'.'
After that he sent texts but I never replied til January,
he texted me saying he was sorry about what he did.
I texted him with ' life goes on ,we make the decisions that benefits us on that moment and we turn to forget about the future , live with it and learn from it but we can be friends' I said that because I simply needed closure.
Since then we've been friends but sometime he try his luck thinking I will take him back but no.I loved him so much it even came to the point were I thought he was the one.
I try to act like I don't care
Everyone knows that I care
You the reason I believe that love is real
Ain't nobody make me feel, the way you make me feel
Darling, tell me is it real?
Or was I lying to myself just to make it feel so real?
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gon', no
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
I sang along and Lloyd sang too.
He lowed the volume towards the end of the song.
"Any special someone you seeing" he asked
"No ,the only people I am seeing is taken and he just lowed the volume while I was still enjoying the song"
"Nah bruh ,sorry for that but I mean are you in a relationship?".
"Nah we broke up because of my imaginary boyfriend"
"What?"
"Yeah man.I really loved him but he couldn't stay because of festive season and he felt replaced"
"Imaginary boyfriend what's that?"he asked.
"Yeah eish bruh I don't know how to explain it to you but its funny and really doesn't make sense"
"Try me"
"Okyy...So one day I was walking home from school ,I was given a lift by this other guy and from then my heart has fallen for him , he is Christopher and I don't know his surname."
" Did you look for him though on social media?
"I tried but nothing."
"Love at first sight"
"You believe me ?and that yeah"
"Why wouldn't I even though it's crazy".
POV-Lloyd
So now I have to continue to act like I don't know Zee, since Chris hasn't said anything even now.
And I don't think it will be a good idea for Chris to pop up now.
So the plan was that he will come were will first stop for food.As for now I have to continue to act normal and she ain't that scary like some chicks she is friendly and bubble.She just has a open personality and as for her age she is too mature.I sure this journey won't be boring with her on my side.
As she was busy on her phone ,a message popped up on my phone.It was from Chris 'you speeding too much bruh ,do you wanna kill her ,if she gets hurt just make sure you die first because I will kill you myself,anyways I can't wait to see her' it read.
Damn this won't end well for him.
'Dawg I don't think it is a good idea you meet up with her now ,she ain't feel you dawg' I sent it .
I know it will hurt him but that's the only way to let him back up and let me have her now.She is mine now.
Well if his gangster friends and him didn't ambush our mission when I was 20,this wouldn't be happening.I wouldn't be working for him.Working for Chris was just for cover up for my plan.As for now I am done.
I waited for his response but nothing probably he was tripping .
After so long it pop up "but why and anyways I don't give a fuck whether she doesn't like me ,she will learn to love bruh"i read.
"I will explain it to you after dropping her off and don't you dare go to her apartment Chris' I sent him the text and switched off my phone.
Chris wasn't supposed to fall in love with Zee.On the day he gave her a lift ,he was suppose to kidnap her and find information about her father but it seems like the boy got whipped.
"So what brought you to Johannesburg ?"she asked .
"Well I have friends there"
"So this is what you do for living?"-Zee
"What?"
"Being a uber driver?"-Zee
"No, well I am a business man. "
"But why are you here since you ain't a uber driver ,how come you driving me?"she asked with a surprised face.
"Well someone sent me but don't worry you safe with me"
"What?"
"Don't worry if I wanted to kidnap you I would've long time ago, when you were sleeping,what i did was to just connect my phone to uber company of Port Elizabeth.And that's how I ended up being your driver"I said that parking to this well average house.
"Well we are here"i said that getting out of the car.
Zee-
What was I about to become and experience...
He then came to my side and opened the door for me.I got out of the car and I gazed on the view of the house which was beautiful and creamy white colored .He took my hand and walked me inside as he took the keys from the security guy at the gate.
He opened the gate and instructed me to get inside the yard.He then got into the car and moved it inside and parked it on the garage.
He came to me and opened the door and I got in with him following me.
The house was quite.Does he leave alone?,why did I even get in without asking him where were are?.Well I feel so stupid.My thoughts kept popping up til he called me.I walked to his direction and found him on the kitchen.It was so beautiful and he tossed me a drink. He then took me for a house view.Damn this house is beyond beautiful,I said to myself.
It had two bathrooms with a two glass main bedrooms having an en-suite with different colors, with an additional one bedroom, plus a study, with open plan kitchen and dining room and the garage had a remote control . Entertainment area had canvas drops and adjustable roof to suit all types of weather.The outside view was beautiful too with a pool and a gyming cottage.
He took me to the dining room and all he said was...
"your mom must really love you"
Wait what did he just say my mom,well this cannot be the house I will be leaving in,no it can't .My parents love me but not to this extent .As I was still contemplating on that he gave me the keys and stood up.
"I have to leave now" he said as he took out his car keys out of his pocket.
"Can you a least stay for few days ,this house is big enough ,and I don't really don't know the place as yet and I am kanda scared."I said that with pleading puffy expression.
"You look so cute on that face."he said laughing
"Please"
He started to move towards the door that lead him to the garage.
"Well I will take you out tomorrow if thats how much it will cost me".i said and he smiled and stopped moving.
"Great but that ain't good enough and you don't know any place here ,does that mean I will have to take you there?"he asked facing me
"Well you will just drive I will play for everything"
He then walked back to the dining room.And he sat down on the couch .I walked and sat next to him and he hugged me.We kanda cuddle and he ordered food.
When the food came we ate together,as he kept on feeding me in between.After ,we cleaned up the place and went to our different room .
I bath before I went to sleep,after bathing I got inside the sheets and my thoughts took over.
I was woken up by a hand touch ,I was frighten but I acted calm.Well I managed to switch the light on ,I saw Lloyd next to me.
I just went back to sleep.In the morning I was woken up by a kiss on my forehead.I got a buddy here Lloyd is amazing ,he was already dressed up.
So I decide to wake up too,I walked to the bathroom and bathed. When I was done I took my bag and looked for something to wear since I haven't packed them up. I settled on the vintage pants with a over size leon top and old school vans.
I walked downstairs and found him waiting.
He took me to City center.Well that place was amazing he parked on the Italian shop parking lot.When we got in we found a empty table on the corner and settled there.
When we were done eating he paid and we left.
We then went to buy the house grocery ,we all picked up fatty food even though I tried picking healthy food but still .After picking what we need we went to the till and he paid for my grocery ,well I tried to stop him.
"Don't worry I can handle this let me be a gentleman"He said as I tried to stop him.We then left.When we got home ,he helped me to take the grocery inside the house ,we packed it on the cupboard after that he left.
I was then on my own.I didn't know when he was going to be back so I decided to cook baked chicken with spaghetti and seasoned it to make it colorful and give it a tastefully favor. I dished for myself and ate.I placed the rest of the food on the warmer then watched television.
I then walked to my room and slept.
I was woken up by Lloyd around 2 am as he was from the club I guess.I opened for him and went back to sleep.
...
In the morning when I woke up ,i went to the bathroom and did my hygiene routine.When I was done I went downstairs and found Lloyd making breakfast while this other lady was cleaning.I greeted the lady and went straight to him.
When I was about to say something he stopped me and hugged me and
whispered on my ear "morning don't worry she came here to help us clean the house" after saying that he then let go of me.
I just looked at him and asked him to dish for me.After that ,I then took my food and went to the table and ate.
"Ain't you too young to be drinking and messing around like that?"She asked as her eyes were fixed on me.
Seriously I didn't know what to say til Lloyd answered.
"Well that's none of your business"I just looked at him clueless
The lady just walked way and continued going her job.
"That wasn't necessary"I said as I stood up and walked to the kitchen.
I then watched the television even though it was boring. I just wished the university was already open.
When the cleaning lady was done Lloyd gave her about 4k and I apologized for Lloyds' behavior.
I had nothing to do during the day but now I had to start preparing for dinner and he offered to help with.
Well he wasn't really doing anything but talking.When we were done cooking.We dished out for ourselves and ate in peace.When we were done we went to chill by the entertainment section.
Well he chose the movie ,which was a action movie.I felt like Lloyd had many kind of personalities,while we were watching he kept on speaking none stop.
"I have a proposal or should i say a request from you Zee."
"for how much?"I asked
"6k"he said.After that I knew it was big and I had to be smart with him
"make it 9k"I requested
"Deal "well he looked happy.
"So what is It?"
"Well my mom is hosting a
family dinner and she asked me to bring my girlfriend."when he finished that I laughed at him.
"What the fuck dude?,I can't be acting as 'the perfect daughter in law,
Do you know that might backfire on us since we are friends?"
"Come down baby girl, can you just trust me on this."
"Dude you don't understand what if your family don't like me then what?, and I don't know you ,what will I say when they ask me deep questions about you?"I asked.
"Hold up nunu(baby) ,damn aah why are you interrogating me ,just chill and hear me out first."
Me:.
"We now getting there princess..."he then laughed.
"Oky let me briefly describe the plan.
Well I will tell you everything but mostly what's important hey."he said calmly.
"Oky but I think we won't be sleeping today."I said as I leaned on him
"Princess just listen..."
Well he explained everything.
"So much damn.Should I summaries myself for you?"
"No thanks babes ,I already know much ,you an open book"
He said that leaning on my shoulder too.
"Goodnight I think I need to sleep now."I said as I stood up.
"But we ain't done .What are you going to wear tomorrow night?"he asked
"You bullshiting me right ?
What the fuck dude,by the way I don't own any dress ,you should shop one for me".I said that leaving him there.
He shouted "Consider it done boo #my mothers' cute daughter in law".I just continued walking while I laughed and thanked God for bringing him into my life,if it wasn't for him I would be alone and bored in this house.
About to be perfect daughter in-law...
