Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

My day was pretty much exciting but draining too. After our lessons finished we went to have lunch with Tebogo, Kyle actually with the whole squad, but what amazed me was that Tebby didn't make it.

It was good with those crazy personalities around after lunch, Kyle drove me home, and he was talking rubbish along the way.

When I got home, the house was empty, and I just went to my room and took a nap.

I was woken up by my phone ringing and when I checked it was Zeny.

"Hey"

"I've been calling you, you are running late for your night classes .it's already half part 6,friend I have been waiting for you outside."

Did he just call me mate, damn him

I guess he had a quickie one for control.

Wow

Damn.

What? Damn, I overslept.

I checked the time, and it was already late,, so it will be pointless if I go.

"I don't think I will make it on time,, so I will skip those classes today..."

"Boss won't like it."

" Zeny, I am doing that for myself not him. Go home and please your woman's needs..."

"But it will benefit him one day, and he won't pay me for today."

"Benefit him? He won't know, just go Zeny." I thought to myself and something wasn't making sense.

" Damn I speak too much. so, he hasn't told you."

He then hung up. I took off my clothes and took a bath. After I was done, I wore my pajamas. And walked to the kitchen and the lights were still off. I wondered where Tebby was? I then drifted to my thoughts and cooked some easy meal as I was tired. When I was done, I dished for myself and ate.

After finishing my plate, I noticed that I was hungry. I walked to the kitchen and washed my plate and went to the dining room. I watched my recorded series which was Supernatural, after three episodes I decided to call Lloyd. I seriously missed his voice.

Likewise, I know I might lie to myself that I don't like him,but it's more than that. I have fallen for him. Lloyd is not what I would call my ideal boyfriend,but he is what I need. He is a free spirit, easy to talk to, and he has a direction in life, he knows what he wants in life.

Look at me praising him

Am I whipped?

His phone rang,, but nobody answered it. I tried it again but nothing and my negative thoughts filled up my brain.

What if he feels it would be better not to speak to you?

What if he is fucking someone while you played hard to get?

What if he thinks you are not good enough for him.

He...

My thoughts overpowered me and my pride validated all.

I then walked out of the dining room, disappointed in myself for making the call. If he wanted to talk to me, he would have called to confirm whether I loved my gift, but my forward ass decided to call. If I have attended my classes this wouldn't have happened. When I got to my room, I dived into my bed and my thoughts took over.

It wasn't pretty much clear,, but it looked like an underground house. I heard a few people surrounding me, and they all looked scary. To say that, If I say I wasn't scared will be an understatement, I was appalled and horrified at the same time. The muscle guy approached me and slapped my face and punched my nose. I looked down as I saw my blood oozing down and pouring on the floor. I was tied up, even if I tried to run away it was going to be useless since I am outnumbered. A skinny guy came to me and took off my top. I was there, left with my bra. He touched me forcefully and circulated my breast. He looked.

"Stop going out with Lloyd, and where is your father ?" The skinny guy asked.

I looked at the guy, aghast at what he is talking about.

"I said, why are you fucking with Lloyd and where is your father!"

He punched me again after some while someone walked in and shouted.

"What the fuck? Why are you doing this to her"

"This is the girl Boss, you said we should get, who you failed to kidnap"

The voice of their boss sounded familiar,, but I couldn't match it up.

I wondered why these thugs wanted from my father but...

Their boss ran to me and placed a towel on me. When I lifted my head,, I was met by Chris' face...

"I'm sorry this wasn't supposed to go this way. I'm truly sorry." Chris said, as he was still kneeling in front of me.

He helped me stand up and walked me to some small room and left me. He walked to those guys and kept on talking. I couldn't hear them clearly,, but I heard them talking about placing a bomb under someone's cars...

As I was still trying to overhear their conversation, the door opened and Chris got in. He walked to me and as soon as he reached me, he started to rip off my pants and my bra. He also took the towel that I was covering my body with.

He forcefully pushed me to him." This is for your father for killing my mother" he forcefully kissed me. As I was trying to fight him off, my phone, under the pillow, started vibrating distantly, and it seems it was fading away too.

"Hello"

"What do you want? What have I done to you?"I said scared.

"Zinzi," he said with a worried tone.

I then noticed that I was dreaming, I rub my eyes to be fully awake then concentrated on the call.

"Hey Lloyd"

"What's wrong? Zee are you okay?

"I'm sorry, I think I was having a horrific dream. Are you okay?" I asked, fully awake.

"I am sorry, I saw your missed call, is there everything fine?"

So, he is trying to say I only call when I need something from him?

Damm Lloyd.

I have to calm down...

"Yes, I just wanted to say thank you for the gift." I finally responded!

"Anything for you. I missed your voice though, I just wish I can be with you."

My phone hung up, or maybe he ran out of airtime.

I struggled to sleep after the dream I had, I decided to run to the study room and study. I guess I have fallen asleep while studying. I was woken up by Tebby and her friend shouting.

I checked the time, and it was already seven damn my first lesson was starting at 8 ,fuck shit I was going to be late.

I fast ran to my room and took a quick shower and dressed up quickly. I grabbed my bag and ran downstairs, only to find the girls still deciding on what to make for breakfast.

"Hey, guys." I greeted them while I rushed.

Then: hey.

I seriously miss my best friend, we hardly spend time together these days.

I wondered when her friend was leaving, since it seems she had been with her the whole weekend. Not that I mind her being here.

I quickly opened the cupboard and took out the bowl and poured powder milk and pour boiling water after. I topped it up with Weetabix.

I am sure you now think that I am weird.

I took my bowl and my bag on the other hand and quickly rushed outside since I didn't want Zeny to be on my neck since I was already late.

I found the gate already opened,, and he opened the car door for me. He took my bag from me, and he closed the door and rushed to his seat and he started the car.

He kept driving as he focused on the road but truly speaking he wanted to say something, but his words stayed as thoughts. I continued eating until he broke the comfortable silence.

"I have never seen a girl like you, you still eat ladylike even though you are running late?" he said as he smiled

"I am a lady after all, Zeny, and thank you for noticing." I smiled.

"Yes I see, pleases don't sleep today, you have to attend all your classes."

"Yes sir." I continued eating my Weetabix.

He dropped me off campus and left. I found Ntokozo already waiting for me. We both rushed to class.

After attending all our lessons we then left the school building but when we got to the gate we were stopped by some old man.

"My kids, how are you. Well, I am well as you can see" he smiled.

He had a bundle of flowers of white roses with a small box.

"We are well too and you look strong. Thank you for asking." Ntokozo said with a smile.

"Well, my kids," he said as he moved where he was and came towards me. He handed those and looked deep into my eyes and hugged me. He then whispered, "What you always longed for is him and you being with him will bring a deep secret. He is a good man,, but he is not what you think he is. But you can still change him and live your life happily with him."

"And how can I change him"I asked worriedly

"You will find a way and what you dreamt about yesterday will still happen"He then let go of my body and walked off.

I tried to stop him and ask how he knew about my dream,, but he never looked back.

I was still surprised about what he said,, and I knew who those flowers were from. Ntokozo opened the small box thinking it was a ring,, but he was met by a slimline Versace watch that was outstanding, and it was gold. Ntokozo looked at me emotionless and let me not mention his girlfriend, she was amazed.

"Where does your boyfriend work damn, one can say he is a gangster," she said while her eyes were glued on the box

"If you were some gold digger, I would say you have slept with him. But friend, this man might be really into you" He said looking deep into my eyes.

"Guys I don't know what to do with this situation, I don't, I wish I knew what to do but presently I don't, I am scared he might hurt me, I don't want my heart to be broken, and I feel it would be better not to be distracted on my books." I was worried.

"Pray about it babes, the Lord will show you a way and lead you" I never thought Lissa was that kind of person.

"I don't know what to do with him, but I just wish Lord will show me away." I just wished God to show me away.

Ntokozo handed me my gift, and they drove me home. Well, they said they couldn't leave me alone waiting for Zeny while they can just drop me.

They dropped me on the gate. I found my way inside the house, and it was empty. I walked to my room and took a short shower and throw myself on the bed for a short nap even though I was hungry.

When I was about to drift off, my phone rang, when I checked it was Lloyd. I even wondered to myself why I even checked because we all knew he was going to call.

I just lowered the volume, leaving it on silent and went back to my dreamland.

I was woken up by Tebby telling me that Zeny was outside waiting. I rushed myself as I dressed up. When I was done, I ran out. I found Zeny still waiting. I got inside the car and he drove off.
