2020-08-11 20:32:58‘Hey, guys.’ I greeted Billy and Fabian.
‘Oh hey,’ Billy responded,‘Done with your lecture already?’
‘Yes. It was either quick or time flies.’ I chatted with him like we have been friends for some time.
‘Okay...oh this is Fabian, my homeboy.’
‘Hi Fabian, nice to meet you.’
‘Hi.’ Fabian greeted me sharply and he didn’t even bother to look up at me. He looked less interested. But I was not that worried. I didn’t want to be his friend anyway. So, him being all snobbish and rude to me was just useless.
‘So can I get you something to drink? A cold drink or juice?’ Billy asked.
‘Uhm... I would like some orange juice to thank you.’
I was extra flattered. It was one thing for him to remember my name but offering to buy me a drink was just something else. It felt so unreal like I was fantasizing again.
‘Here you go.’ He said handing me the orange juice.
‘Thank you.’
‘Seeing that it is Friday, do you have any plans for tonight?’ Billy asked, looking straight in my eyes. ‘The boy sure moves faster than I thought. Winning him will be a walk in the park I suppose.’ I thought to myself.
‘Uhm... plans? Anna and I are doing some research on foreign currencies and languages. And we are going to watch a movie thereafter.’
‘Nice.’ Billy said with a smile on his face.
‘Is that your idea of a fun Friday night?’ Fabian asked in the rudest way possible.
‘What do you mean?’ I wasn’t going to let him speak to me like an idiot.
‘Are you girls nerds or are you just plane rural?’
I didn’t respond. I just looked at him, trying hard not to tell him exactly where to get off. He was so rude and mean. His face was full of disrespect and that just made me angrier. If I could, I would have kicked him in the balls.
‘Dude relax,’ Billy told him. There is no need to be mean, they have their way of doing things and so do you. You don’t have to be a prick about it.’ Billy told him to my disbelief. I was relieved he did that because I believe I was about to lose it.
‘Listen, if you guys would like to join us for a drink in Newtown later this evening, just shout okay?’ Billy said to me and he looked very serious.
‘A drink? Like in a bar?’
‘No, we are hitting the club. Ok let’s do this since I am inviting you, why don’t you pick the destination?’
‘I have never been to a club before, so I wouldn’t know which place to choose.’
‘I will help you. And I promise to take you, girls, back whenever you feel like you have had enough.’
‘That’s so sweet of you, but who else is going to be there?’
‘Just a few of my mates. Hopefully you and your friend as well.’
‘Will Sharon and her friends be there?’
‘Hahahahaha no. You don’t have to worry about her. She won’t be there.’
‘Eish, I don’t know hey... I don’t want to be in the way of your mates. I am not sure hey.’
‘Don’t worry about anyone, I am the one inviting you, nobody else.’
‘What if they don’t like us? Or we don’t like the same things and Anna and I become a bore?’
‘Come on big eyes, what’s there not like about you? But hey, no pressure.’
‘I suppose you are right. I just don’t know about Anna but I think I can take a break from all this studying.’ I told him.
‘Okay, give me your number and I can check with you later on.’
‘Okay, it is 0837167698’
‘I will call you later to find out then. Sharp.’
I couldn’t contain my excitement when I ran over to tell Anna the good news. I couldn’t believe that Billy Anderson, the popular guy in college asked ME to go clubbing with him. That was quicker and easier than I expected. And it was more than amazing. I felt like he made my mission much easier. Winning him was going to be such a breeze. I thought.
‘Chomee you won’t believe this. Billy invited us out.’
‘What do you mean he invited ‘us’?’
‘He invited me and you to go to some club in Newtown. Isn’t that exciting? -
‘It is... I guess.’
‘You guess? Chomee you guess? The most wanted guy in our campus invited us out and you guess? What’s wrong now?’
‘Nothing chomee, I am happy for you.’
‘Happy for me? But he invited both us.’
‘Come on Petunia, do you expect me to come with?’
‘Of course. I can’t go out with these people all by myself.’
‘No Petunia, I just don’t feel like going out with people I hardly know. I take that back; I don’t know them at all.’
‘But you know me. Can you for the last time just stop being negative? We both have been working hard, don’t you think it is about time we unwind? Get to know the rest of the city. We have been in Jo’burg for about three months and the only places we know are Carlton Centre and Gandhi Square. Come on Anna.’
‘Eish chomee I don’t know. I don’t feel comfortable about all of this. This is Jo’burg, it is dangerous here.’
‘Billy promised to drive us back safely. There is nothing to worry about.’
‘Chomee, you spoke to the guy for three seconds and you already trust him with our lives?’
‘Anna really now? Billy is the sweetest guy I have ever met. Just have a little faith. Please say you will come friend, please.... Pretty please.’
‘Okay okay okay, you know I hate it when you do that thing you do with your eyes. We can go with on one condition though.’
‘Anything.’
‘We come back before 21:00 and we don’t drink anything that contains alcohol.’
‘I can live with that my friend. It is going to be awesome to believe me. Billy is going to take care of us and he is going to be happy that we agreed.’
‘Friend, we are going to be late for our next class if we just sit here and yap about Anderson. Let’s go.’
‘Yes. What are we going to wear tonight anyway?’ I asked Anna when we took off to our next class.
‘You really want to impress this guy. You have nice clothes, I’m sure you can find something.’
‘In Jo’burg, I don’t think ‘nice’ is cool. I will have to pull off the look of the year. I wouldn’t even know what to wear to a club.’
‘I think smart casual. T-shirt and jeans and sneakers.’
‘Chomee, isn’t that what I wear on a daily basis? I want to look different so that Billy can have his eyes on me and nobody else.’
‘Okay, we will make a plan. We can ask Maureen from next door to do your make up. She is a cosmetology student.’
‘Wow, you are a genius. That’s why I love you.’
‘Although I don’t think you have to change the way you look for a guy. If he likes you, he will just have to accept you the way you are.’
‘I am not going to change myself, friend, I just want to look extra hot for him.’
‘Okay, if you put it that way. We will talk after class.’
‘No problem chomza.’

She was a very beautiful girl. And that girl was me.‘Hello, how are you?’ That was Anna, opening the door for Billy.‘I’m good, is she ready?’ Billy asked from the outside.‘Just a minute, I will call her.’ Anna told him as she came to fetch me.

Billy was leaning against the door of his Mini Cooper, waiting for me. He smiled at me from a distance. He just looked at me and smiled from ear to ear. When I finally got to him, he hugged me tightly; more like squeezed me and gave me a baby kiss. You’d swear we already had the title of boyfriend and girlfriend. He once again told me how beautiful I looked and he smelled good as usual. He opened the passenger door for me, like a princess then he sat in his. We drove in silence, but not total silence because he was playing music. The local Kwaito music. That fascinated me. A rich boy from the suburbs playing Kwaito. I thought he was goin

Shopping was bliss because we got along (thanks to Billy’s credit card) and we got exactly what we wanted. I was buying a lot of swimsuits with different colours, forgetting that they would sell me out to Anna, especially because I didn’t want her to know about my excursion to Durban. Anna was two years older than me, so she felt a great deal of responsibility for me. She often told me that I am now her little sister, the sister that she never had. She had this paranoia about Billy sleeping with me and then leaving me. Hence that’s why I didn’t want her to know about our plans.‘Petunia, what exactly are we shopping for?’ Anna asked without looking at me.‘We are shopping for the fun of it. Isn’t that what girls d

Killer instinct- a tale of unspeakable horror   Chapter 33
One would argue that killing three people was a breeze to me, they might be right because I did kill them. But killing myself wasn’t easy, the physical pain that I so desperately wanted didn’t sound like a great idea if I was doing it myself. I thought that, perhaps I should go to Park Station and throw myself in front of a moving train, but I didn’t have the guts. But in my quest to punish Billy, I thought about his words. The fact that he didn’t want to lose me. Yeah, he said some pretty hectic stuff before he left, he was angry. He told me that he loved me, and I believed him, he had no reason to lie.

He spoke to God-knows-who and then told them that he will send them GPS coordinates. That just raised a lot of questions in my mind. I was wondering why didn’t Billy ask whoever his goons were to kill Naledi in the first place. If they can dispose of a body, sure they can kill. Or might even have killed before. I was wondering why he had to make me do it for him. We sat in silence for almost an hour. Billy didn’t want to look at me, when he did, he either said something hurting or asked me to feel the body’s temperature, which was already cold. I covered her with a blanket because I couldn’t bear to look at her body like that.

In my twisted head, I believed that going away from my family and my life as I knew it was a small price to pay. Finally, I was getting the man of my dreams, a good life and I knew that both Billy and I were not perfect. I even thought of us as Bonnie and Clyde. We were not bank robbers, we were killers but I was hoping we won’t kill again. The consequences were not as thrilling as our relationship was. I began to pack my things soon after Billy left because he said I had to leave as soon as possible. For the first time in days, I felt good. I don

I raced back to the kitchen and looked for a dry dish towel. I found it in one of the drawers and with it, I wiped everything that I touched. I wiped everything, the counter top, the door knob as well as the key, the taps and the tub. Everything that had my prints, I wiped thoroughly. Except for Naledi and Sharon. I didn’t try wiping them because it was pointless. No matter how hard I would’ve have tried, it wouldn’t remove the fact that I killed two innocent people. They were only guilty because they were beautiful and they had everything I didn’t. Also because Sharon disliked me and Naledi was a threat to my happiness

I steadily sat on the bar stool and my eyes wandered around the kitchen. It was small but not as small as ours. The cupboards were made of rich brown wood with stainless steel handles. It was lavished in a way, most of the appliances that they had, Anna and I could only dream of. There was a big black double door fridge standing at the corner, which looked like the one Billy had in his cottage. The microwave and the kettle were similar to Billy’s as well. That made me wonder whether Billy and Naledi bought them together out of love or Naledi was living up to her reputation and extorted money out of Billy to furnish their kitchen and poss

Without any hesitation, I gave him the go-ahead. I wanted him to live his life without having to look behind his back. A life without Naledi’s obnoxious threats. Yes I never got time to study the girl, but what Billy had poured out to me was more than enough for me to dislike her even further. The drive to town was a very quiet one, but the loud beating of my heart was audible. Even with the encouraging rage, there was a lot of room for fear. I was about to end somebody’s life, I had to be frightened.

For the next couple of days, Billy coached me on what I needed to. He even took me to a shooting range, explaining to me how to use a gun and how to break and enter without being seen. It was scary at first, but we had fun playing the bad guys. Billy tried his utmost to make me feel comfortable. He was way too smart as well because every time he came over, he will always show me a threatening text from his sugar momma or play an audio of the things she would say about me. All of that made me angry and fired up to pursue with the plan. There were however, times when I wanted out of the situation, but Billy always outsmarted me. He’d alway

The night seemed to be longer than normal but eventually, dawn broke and the new day greeted us with warm winter rays. I was still overwhelmed by everything that Billy poured out on to me the night before and it was too evident. Billy suggested that we both needed to loosen up and he picked Sandton as the therapeutic destination. I welcomed the idea wholeheartedly as I knew that he wasn’t going back to the lecturer. Spending time together increased my chances and the fact that he finally confided in me made the relationship a real one. For a few hours, I wasn’t at all concerned about Billy’s troubles; I was too busy enjoying
