Chapter 9

SAMKELO

The way he is holding her makes my blood boil with anger because what the fuck is he doing to mafungwase?

"Menzi mfethu, I asked you a question. What are you doing to my caramel?"

He lets go off her and i walk closer to them as she clears her throat. He has his hands in his pockets, not caring that I'm now closer to them .he looks at mafungwase.

"How do you know samkelo my chubby cheeks?"-menzi

" it's none of your business menzi ,just go to your girlfriend "-mafungwase

"But I wanted to talk you "-menzi

"I don't care ....yazini futhi ,both of you should leave .I don't want any drama "-mafungwase

She runs to her house before we utter any words .I'm still confused ,what is happening between them ?

Unless.....hawe mah ,this is the girl that menzi told me about .my caramel is his chubby cheeks!.

We face each other with our hands in our pockets. We look at each for a moment ,everything is moving in silent . He shakes his head and tries to pass me but I hold him ,he has to explain.

"Uhlanganisani noMafungwase menzi?"

"Wena uhlanganisani?"

I smirk

"Ngihlanganisa uthando oluzomenza afudumale "

He blows his nose and clicks his tongue, yanking himself off my grip .He runs away and I grab my phone then text my caramel.

'Can we meet up tonight ?'

'Sure'

I turn off my phone and walk away from her home gate.

MAFUNGWASE

I never thought that there would be a day where I find myself in a love triangle. Well I'm not sure whether I'm already in it or not but the way it was so tense during that moment ,it made me realise that there's going to be alot of drama in my life ,drama that will make me want to run away ,drama that will confuse my feelings.

As I'm sinking my feet in the pool water ,a notification pops up on my phone and it's from samkelo.

'I'm waiting for you outside, is everyone awake?'

'Nah ,my parents are out of the town and my older brothers are smoking while Aphelele is busy watching TV '

'Okay ,get out then '

I react with a thumb up emoji and I take my feet out of the pool then dry them with a towel .I slide in my feet in my sleepers then walk to the gate and get out .

I see him leaning against the street light pole as I'm walking towards him . His eyes sparkles and his smile spreads wider as I stand infront of him .

Gosh he is so handsome but I'm still confused, why did he call me here?

"Hi"

"Hi"

Okayyy ,this is awkward and weird .

"Why did you call me here?"

"I wanted to talk to you about menzi"

I frown . Menzi ? ,why is he worried about menzi and uhlanganaphi naye?

"What did he do?"

"I didn't like the way he was holding your waist "

I scoff and fold my arms. Is he my boyfriend? ,because he has no business to be angry about the way my male bestie was holding me .eish kombe we are no longer friends but still ,he has no business to be angry .

"What are you ,my boyfriend?"

"No but i just didn't like it especially since he has a girlfriend to hold like that "

"So what ?"

He chuckles bitterly, like he can't believe that i just asked him that .

"What do you mean so what mafungwase? . That motherfucker has no right to hold you like that ,he has no right to hold you like you are his or something!"

"Then who does huh, you?"

"Yes me!!"

Ohh gosh ,what the fuck ?. My eyes narrow and I frown .

"What?"

I say on a low tone ,not knowing what to say or what to do because he gotta be kidding me right now .I can't be liking two people at the damn same time especially when they know each other!!

He grabs me closer to him and my palms are now against his chest .he rests his forehead against mine ,his hands on my waist.

"I'm the one who is supposed to hold you like this my caramel not him but me .I have loved you and yearned for you for so many freaking years and I just can't hold it anymore "

My heart is racing ,his warm breath is hitting my face and his voice is kinda raspy .I don't know what to do with this confession, why didn't he tell me this 4 years ago ?.

"I don't know what to say samkelo "

I move my forehead from his ,looking at his eyes with tears burning my eyes .this hit hard ,especially when I know that my heart is yearning for both of them.

"You don't have to say anything princess "

"Why didn't you just say it sooner ,why didn't you tell me this 4 years ago?"

Ohh my word ,my voice is breaking . I can't cry right now!

"I was scared ,ngangishawa igwababa "

I grin ,him and gwababa ?

"Wena negwababa?"

"Yes ,mina negwababa .I was scared of rejection and I couldn't just approach you like you are some random girl .you are special mafungwase and that's why you have my heart ."

"So what now?"

"Just let me take care of your beautiful heart "

This is hard ,what should I do ?.

"Are you friends with menzi?"

"Yeah"

I let go of him ,I can't be with someone who's friends with my ex friend and even worse an ex friend that I can't figure out my feelings for!.

"But that won't stop us"

"Are you sure?"

"100% sure"

I nod then we hug each other .i don't know what I'm doing but I just hope that it's for the best even though I feel like there's alot of drama coming .

MENZI

I don't know if I'm crazy or being jealous or just being obsessive but I can't stand the fact that chubby cheeks knows samkelo. Samkelo is the biggest player and he will break her small heart ,she doesn't deserve that kind of pain .

I think I should go talk to her ,I can't let her be with him .I just can't.
I walk out of the gate ,going to her house .I have to talk to her and tell her everything that samkelo does ,maybe she will be able to leave him .

As I'm walking closer , I see two figures in each other's embrace. No matter what ,that is my chubby cheeks .I feel my heart shattering like glass that has fallen on the floor and shattered into many pieces as I see her being comfortable in his arms ,holding him like he is her home .I held her like that first man!

"Chubby cheeks?"

I whisper as my voice is mid breaking .they let go of each other and face me ,this idiot smirks . I really want to punch him on his stupid face!.

"Menzi"

She says on a low tone while folding her arms .my eyes are stinging and tears immediately fill up my eyes .I look at samkelo first then her ,my face is getting hotter and I just know that if I don't go away , I will do something that i will regret .

"What the hell is going here?"

My voice is a bit raspy and a tear fall from my eye .

"Me and samkelo are in a relationship "

"Relationship?"

I ask as if I can't believe it .vele I can't, why is she choosing him?

"Yes ,relationship mnganami "-samkelo

"But chubby cheeks how could you ......"

I hold myself because I don't want to end up saying things that I'm not ready to say. Instead I just chuckle and turn to leave as I'm feeling tears falling .my heart is definitely shattered into many pieces that can not be picked up ,I think it's time to admit it to myself .I'm inlove with this perfect human .
