Chapter 31- Nerves

last update Last Updated: 2021-08-21 03:39:30
Gabriel had to leave early this morning for a work emergency so I’ll be meeting Ramie and my brother alone. My nerves are shot and now that I had time to think about this whole situation last night I’m even more uneasy . I woke up and looked up Minister Shona and the stuff I found is scary. His name comes up in every scandal there is in the country. And he thinks I’m in with his wife to do what?

I realized how much I shut out the world this morning. I know what’s happening with corruption in South Africa but I don’t give it any mind. News always breaks that this Government official did this and the third but these people never get caught. They just get reassigned to a different post so people forget about their dirty deeds and all is well. So I stopped caring what happens to any of them, corruption is the name of the game here. Hard working people pay tax so the poor can stay poor and so people like Shona can steal. I actively chose to do good with my work. That’s why Max and I work s

    “How did the meeting go?” Gabriel asks me on the other end of the line. “Well turns out I don’t know my brother at all” I say remembering the conversation I had with him and Ramie this morning. Zan had me convinced he lives a simple, uncomplicated life. I am questioning everything I know about him, this business with Ramie has opened doors I knew existed but I didn’t want confirmation they do exist. “So he told you” Gabriel says and I remain silent. I don’t know what say. “Do you want to talk about it?” he asks when the silence stretches. “Obviously” I say wanting to know more, maybe he’ll tell me something that makes it all make sense. “Okay, then come to me. We can’t talk about it over the phone” he says and my heart starts to beat fast. Are we back to spending time together? Are going to go through the same motions? I can’t go through another heart break, I don’t have the strength. “Come to you? Why can’t we talk on the phone?” I ask scared and excited by the prospect of spendi

    Gabriel shows me into the bathroom so I can freshen up. I take a few minutes to get the flight off me and I head back to the balcony after a while. I get comfortable on the day bed, I look beyond the coast and take everything in. I would love to wake up to this every morning, this is incredible. Gabriel joins me after a while, he’s changed into more comfortable clothes now. He sits next to me on the day be and looks out into the view. “How are you feeling?” he asks looking at me. “I’m good now” I say smiling at him. “Good” he says and goes back to looking at the view. “How are you?” I ask too. “I’m tired but with a little rest I’ll be good,” he says sighing. “Work?” “Amongst other things,” he says looking at me again, he gives me a look that says you’re one of those problems but he doesn’t say it. I look away unease creeping into my mind. “Is an exceptional view always on the list of criteria when you buy a house? “ I say trying to lighten up the mood, I don’t want to sour thi

  • Her deepest desire   Chapter 34- Lazy days

    2 pm Gabriel and I are lying on the penthouse’s huge rooftop. It has an area where you can lie on the most comfortable white sofa I have ever seen. I’m in my all-white bikini, I smile thinking about the struggle I had when I was deciding what to wear. I thought it was too sexy, too suggestive but then I decided to wear it anyway. The air feels good on the skin and I’m a few kilometres from the ocean so why not dress appropriately? When I walked out to the roof Gabriel was already comfortable on the gigantic sofa. He gave me a long stare and looked away scratching his head. It felt good knowing I still affect him like that. We have been lazing here for a while in silence. “When did Zan join the National Intelligence Service?” I ask Gabriel and turn to my side so I can see his face. His eyes trail to my cleavage and back to my eyes. I feel heat warm up my body, he says so much with just a look, and in the 30 minutes we’ve spent here he’s undressed and fucked me with his eyes about 2

    His fingers move inside of me as he kisses and bites my neck. I pant feeling my body climb. He starts to move his fingers inside of me in a slow torturous rhythm. I open my legs wider giving him better access to my pussy. He moves his fingers in and out slowly, I clench my pussy on the inside greedily. I love his fingers inside of me as much as I love his cock inside of me. I come softly with his fingers still moving inside of me. He looks at me as I come down from my high. He pulls his fingers out of me and licks them clean. “I miss this with you,” I say after I catch my breath. “Me too,” he says and smiles. I move closer to him and kiss him. He kisses me back with so much emotion and feeling. He breaks the kiss and looks at me for a moment. “We should eat, I’ll go check on our food,” he says and stands up with me. He untangles me from his waist and carefully places my feet on the floor and walks into the house. I sit back down annoyed, he’s not budging. I thought I convinced him th

    I drop my bags on the floor when I walk through my apartment door. I’m exhausted, Gabriel and I landed at OR Tambo International this morning. We were supposed to leave Cape Town on Sunday night but we decided to come back to Joburg this morning. That was a bad idea, landing an hour and a half before your due to be at work on a Monday is always a terrible idea. I’m so glad I got through my day without falling over. I really need to get cleaned up and in bed ASAP. Suddenly there’s a knock at my door, I turn and look at it. I’m not expecting anyone, who could that be? I walk and look through the peephole. Zan? I open the door smiling, which disappears the moment I see his face. He’s pissed. “What’s wrong?” I ask my heart beating fast. Did something happen? “I should be asking you that, what’s wrong with you Ryan?” he says walking past me into the apartment. I close the door trying to figure out why he’s acting this way. When I turn and look at him, Gabriel pops into my head. He knows?

    Zan sent me a “We need to talk” text 30 min ago. I walk to my front door when he gets to my house. I open the door and move aside to let him in. He has a lethal look on his face, I guess I’m getting punched in the face tonight. I follow him into the sitting room, he turns back to look at me, the look on his face would have made any other man run but not me. I love Ryan and if it means I have to face her crazed brother then so be it. I stand my ground and look at him. He moves into my face, his body ready to jump me. Still I stand my ground, I know what I want and Ryan is a woman I would walk through the fire for. “She’s my little sister” he says taking a step back. He looks at me like he doesn’t know me. “My sister” he repeats. “I know” I say calmly, I want to shout the roof off declaring my love for Ryan but I need to keep my cool so he can understand. “Am I just supposed to ignore the fact that you broke my trust and took advantage of her. You’re one of my closest friends, I trus

    I kiss Gabriel giving him all my love. I won’t lie and say this doesn’t scare me. The feelings I have for him are overwhelming and consuming but I want to feel every ounce of it. I reach for my t-shirt and he helps me take it off. His hands touch my breasts and my body comes alive. I help take off his, he stands up and lays me on the bed. I take off my pants and underwear, he does the same with the rest of his clothes. He gets on the bed and between my legs. I feel his skin touch mine, I exhale feeling everything. He leans down on his elbows coming closer to me. I feel his cock on my thigh, I reach between us and grab him. I stroke the length of him and he closes his eyes. I guide his cock to my opening, I rub my pussy with the head. He moans as his precum coats my pussy. I place his cock on my opening and move my hands to his ass. I thrust up, while I push him into me. The tip of his cock slides into me, the contact of skin with no barrier is glorious, I moan wanting more. He opens

    “I need a favour,” Gabriel says across from me while we’re eating on his kitchen island. I look up at him from my lunch. We’ve been going steady for a month now, we’re officially dating. Out in the open and everything. We’ve been spending every day together, We go to work, come back and get together in the evenings. I learned a few things about him. Like he’s a great cook even though he doesn’t like to, he doesn’t sleep enough, he works too much and he’s a hopeless romantic, we’ve been on so many romantic dates. “What do you need?” I ask finally “I’m supposed to meet up with a few friends for dinner tonight, will you come with me?” he says and smiles. I smile too. Suddenly I feel nervous, his friends. “Okay,” I say dreading the idea but, I want to know about his life and what makes him who he is. I’ve always dreaded meeting my boyfriend’s friends but it’s necessary. We can’t live in isolation forever. “Great,” he says excited. “But, I’ll need to go home later. I don’t have anythin

    “Ryan baby, wake up.” Gabriel says kissing me. I slowly come out of sleep. I blink looking at him confused. He’s sitting next to me on the bed. He’s fully dressed in sweats and t-shirt. Why isn’t he naked? We went to sleep butt naked last night.“What time is it?”I ask looking out the window, it’s still dark. Am I missing something? Today is Sunday, we have nowhere to go. So why do we need to wake up early?“5:59.” He says touching my face softly. I lean into his touch closing my eyes, feeling sleep come back slowly. I don’t want to get out of bed, it’s so comfortable here.“I want to show you something.” He says and I groan. Can’t it wait? I don’t want to go anywhere.“Right now?” I ask and he chuckles softly, I open my eyes looking at him. He’s not budging; he really wants me to get out of bed. I sit up slowly and stretch.

    I spent the whole morning with Gabriel’s parents. His father gave me a tour of the whole farm; we spent the morning going through his daily chores. Gabriel had a full day of work so I had to do my own thing today. His dad was more than happy to spend the day with me. I got to see what it really takes to run a fully functioning farm.It’s amazing to see where Gabriel gets his work ethic. They both love what they do, they treat their employees with so much respect and they are always so eager to share information with others. I enjoyed my time with him, he’s a cool dude.Now I’m making lunch with his mom. She’s her husband’s complete opposite, where he’s talkative and smiley. She’s quiet and reserved. Now that I spent more than a few hours with his parents I can tell Gabriel us the perfect blend of the two of them.

    It’s late evening; I’m with my parents in the kitchen. My father is washing the dishes, I’m drying and my mother is putting them away. Washing the dishes is my least favourite thing to do. I should really call Gabriel tonight, I miss him. I think it’s time I went back home. I can’t spend another week without him. I’m sure he misses me too. “I have a special delivery.” Zan says when he walks into my parent’s kitchen. My parents and I turn around to look at him. He’s been gone since morning, I did wonder if he would come home tonight. He’s well known for his disappearing acts. I was worried he left without saying goodbye. I have fears that he’ll leave home and I won’t see him again. Our new found understanding is fairly new so I worry that as soon as we go back tour normal lives we’ll fall back to old habits. I know I have to be patient and trust that we can work this whole thing out but I get scared sometimes. He’s my brother and I love him. He moves away from the doorway and loo

    “This place is amazing.” Zan says looking out at the view in front of us. We’re in my parent’s backyard, looking at my father’s berry field. He hasn’t been here in a long time; I first brought him here when I bought the property. It was just a field then; now it’s a fully functioning farm. He’s seeing this view for the first time; I’ve seen it so many times. But seeing the look of awe on his face makes me see appreciate it more. It’s breath taking. It really is.” I say realizing that it’s so easy to take things for granted. I realize I took our friendship for granted once. Knowing that it’s on the line right now makes me rethink everything I have in my life. When he called me a week ago to say he’s coming back home and we should meet, I was happy. This is a chance to mend broken trust. I don’t know if he’ll be open to that but when I saw him drive up today he seemed different, even now standing next to him he seems resigned. I could be jumping the gun here but I have to be hopeful.

    “Hey kid.” I hear someone say and turn around. Zan is standing in my bedroom doorway. I close my eyes and open them again, to make sure I’m not hallucinating; I stand up from my bed and take a deep breath and then let it out.“Hey.” I say and walk to my brother. I go in for a hug and we just hold each other for what feels like a long time. I can’t believe he’s here, I pour all my love into my hug.“Did you miss me?” He asks when I finally let him go. Tears run down my face uncontrollably. I nod and wipe them away but fail. There’s just so much emotion that my hands can’t keep up with the constant flow of water down my face. “I missed you too.” He says hugging me again. “It feels so good to see you alive and well.”He says his voice thick with emotion.“It feels so good to see you too.” I say so glad we’re talking. I was so worried about him. I didn’t

    Life is different, I feel different. The things I found joy in a few months ago don’t make me happy anymore. I used to love going to work; being of service to my boss would give me this sense of belonging. But now I just go through the motions of my work days and forget about it as soon as I get home. I look forward to the end of the day as soon as I get to work. There is a shift in my heart. I know it and I find myself accepting it without fear or question I never imagined I would be those people who dread going to work. I love my job, or more accurately I loved my job. Max is an amazing boss, our office is fun but I can’t seem to get back into my groove. I shake the feeling that I need to let go of this life and something greater will come to me. At first, I thought it was the stress. I told myself it will go away in a few weeks once everything settled down. I thought it was the moment and as soon as it passed I would go back to me.
