VALENTIA'S POV I have to say, I was pretty much surprised to hear Sandra Buckle on the phone and that she's a journalist. My heart skipped a bit as she explained to Olwethu what was going on. The poor girl looked like she's seen a ghost.. I mean she might as well, she was talking to a ghost. My mind raced to what almost happened if that phone had not rang. We probably would have kissed because no one seemed to want to stop.. but I felt bad. I mean I was going through personal shit and this was just worse to add her on."Sandra? Is this some kind of a sick joke?" Olwethu asked on the phone taking me away from my thoughts and Sandra responded, 'you can call any of the media houses or start with the venue.. like what's up? The launch is supposed to be on Sunday.. check before people actually cancel..' Olwethu hung up and looked at me. "Valentia what's going on? Did we change plans..?"I shook my head, "no we didn't.."She was shaking a bit, probably freaked out. I understood, this w
OLWETHU'S POVI was honestly panicking but after I told Susan and Precious what was up they told me to calm down... Susan promised to actually help me find out who it was ... "Just take it easy and sleep.. all will be good, in between my work I promise I'll find out who this bitch or sun of a bitch is..." I hugged her. I honestly was going to be lost without them. They were my life.. my sisters from other mothers.. Talking about mothers, mom and Lizzie were coming tomorrow to join me on the event. And I was pretty excited. I went to bed still a tiny bit worried. Hoping that tomorrow will guarantee that Sunday will be a bliss. .Saturday came and I fetched my family and took them to our apartment. I was so worried about tomorrow. I felt like calling Vee to ask what's up but I waited impatiently. She was going to call me...The day went pretty slow.. Lizzie tried keeping my mind busy by telling me shit about her school and how Theo was now old and crushing on her. It was cute and f
VALENTIA'S POV Like, did you ever find yourself in a position where you kinda felt lost and everything almost seemed to be foreign... Seeing Zai now and reflecting on everything that we've been through since I was 18 was just fucking me up. It had me ask myself if I even knew her or if this, what I was seeing now was the real her.I'm not talking about a couple of months or days.. I'm talking about years. We practically grew up together and started fucking in our teens. I thought I knew her.. I thought I honestly did. This is to show that the duration you spend with someone don't really determine how much you know them. It's how true they decide to be around you that does.But I couldn't go back.. This divorce was happening no matter how many tears she showed and how many times she apologized. Oprah once said, 'when somebody shows you who they really are... believe them..' and this right now I believed. I hated how much time I've wasted.. these past four years trying to build what
OLWETHU'S POVAfter reading Vee's message of us having to talk I kinda panicked a bit. I was scared.. not necessarily scared but nervous. What were we going to say..? That we should stop kissing and it was a mistake? Shit! That freaked me out a bit. I down low didn't want it to be a mistake.. I knew it was wrong but... I was fucked.. literally fucked. I mean the first kiss was to shut me up.. and we got stopped before it could escalate.. but the second one. God! That was everything I needed in the past four years and more. How I felt, how her touching me felt so familiar like we never stopped. I was in deep ish because she was slowly breaking down my walls and making me weak for her again. Scary as fuck.... but I guess us talking about it and addressing it was ideal. "Umh... what's wrong with you? You look like shit..." Susan said walking in. My phone was still in my hand and the message from Vee was open still. I looked at my friend, "nothing I'm good." "Really.. let me see your
She continued slowly moving her tongie in my ear making my body shiver a bit as I involuntarily started to grind on her a bit since I was getting fucken turned on...My body was failing me. Even if I wanted her to stop it just couldn't happen, not when I was yearning for her touch like this. She moved her hands to my back and before I could register what was up, she had my bra unclasped. I pulled away, "Vee...." She smiled, "what?" I looked at my chest, "you just unclasp my bra.." She took it off of me without removing my blouse and then she looked at my chest. I smiled, "I shouldn't have worn that bra, I should have just fetched you like this." "Mhm..." she laughed, "I was going to murder you..." "Oh really?" She cupped my breasts and pushed me backwards, making sure it's slowly and towards my bed, "yes really." I rolled my eyes and she pulled the blouse off. Leaving me naked above and with skinny jeans under. She climbled on me, putting her left thigh in between my thighs an
I could feel my heart beat on my chest slowly. I listened to it silently as the quietness of the room consumed me. I just had sex with Valentia. I just told her I love her. How could I be so stupid. She was married. God! "Hey... you good...?" I nodded slowly not even caring to look at her, "yeah.. I'm good.""Did you guys talk?" I didn't respond. "God.. did you talk or did you have sex..? please tell me you didn't have sex with Valentia Olwethu...!" Paige said and I got up into a sitting position then looked at the girl, "what? Where were you?" She shrugged, "I figured you'd need some privacy and left immediately when you guys got into your room.. what happened..?" I sighed in relief. Ahh.. she didn't hear anyone moaning. "I.. we..." "You had sex?" She said now sounding shook. I sighed in defeat, there was no need for me to actually lie, "I couldn't stop her.. we couldn't stop.." "Why did you start in the first place? God Olwethu Valentia is married...!" I couldn't hel
You know this took me back to the 3rd week when Vee was in Egypt... that weekend I visited my mom and we had thee most serious talk ever. Like ever. So my mom is a very closeted person, no she's not gay.. she's just not an open book 😂😂😏😉. I don't know how to describe her, but I've grown to learn that she doesnt like meddling in someone's business unless she's really concerned. And she likes keeping staff to herself.During that visit she sat me down after diner and told me we had to talk. I was surprised and worried hence I said she didn't talk a lot about shit. So I knew this must be really serious, at some point I thought she was going to tell me that my step father died. He hasn't sent a letter in three months. But to my surprise when I sat down.. She asked about Valentia... "What?" "How is she?" She asked and I shrugged because I was caught off guard, "She's okay I think mom..." "And things between you guys.. and you know what I mean by that." I sighed, "they are as the
You know what's awful, feeling like you don't exist in someone's life.. no, not just someone random, someone who means the world to you, someone you'd turn tables for, cross crocodile river for (if that exists).. it is the most shittiest feeling to feel like someone you love is treating you like you don't matter one bit. This was a norm now, two weeks after the lash out in my office and Valentia went stone cold on me. Work... We were great, amazing infact and we met a few times to discuss the up coming book and even met with the author to discuss a way forward. The only thing that was left was me editing the book.... I did slowly.. my mind and heart were not on it because Valentia and I were not in good terms.. we only talked where there is a crowd of people and when it was about work or when necessary, like the last time she walked into the kitchen and I was making tea, she said hi, did whatever she wanted and then left. That cut deep..way way deep. I know what I said to her was
14 MONTHS LATER.....VALENTIA'S POV I made a weird face looking at the twins, Zhavia laughed and Kai cried.. I laughed, God this kid...I sighed and looked towards the door, "moooom..."'What?' My mom responded from her room as Kai's cry became louder and filled the room we were in."Kai is crying again.." I said.'stop scaring that child Valentia..'I laughed, "but Zhavi loves it.."'Valentia stop it...' she said walking in, "let me take him.."Then she took Kai from bed and talked to him, "is momma showing you those scary faces right after waking up baby?""Yesss..." my son said with a sad face and I got up from the bed and went to him and my mom, "babyyy your momma loves you okay.."He frowned and I kissed his beautiful eyes as Olwethu says."I'll go make food for them coz they are now awake. Olwethu's mother is on her way with Lizzie.." my mom said walking towards the door.I opened my eyes wider for Kai, "did you hear that babyyyy? Aunt Lizzie is on her way...""Lizzie...." Zhavi
OLWETHU'S POVI was woken up by a splash of water on my face..I opened my eyes and they met with the devil herself and then my mind started replaying what happened yesterday or earlier... fuck.. what day was it today? I couldn't even recall. My body was tired and I felt like I been sleeping forever. I suddenly turned to the man who was talking to me at the mall and he had this stupid look I couldn't put what it really meant. I looked at Zai remembering that she fucken used something to make me sleep, I touched my stomach "whatever you used to get me to sleep better not harm my babies.." She ached her brows before laughing, "your babies? Honey.... please." I ignored her and looked around where I was. I was sitting on a bed and my ankle was tied with a..... chain...? The bed was the only thing in here... I turned back to her, "Where am I?" "You don't have to worry about that. You're awake now, you need to eat." She said the last part passing a plate with bread and butter. Yark..
VALENTIA'S POVI drove to work looking forward to today's meeting at 10. Things weren't that easy but I was glad to be back but mostly glad to be alive. It took a lot of work to get myself back. I had totally lost me and I think finding out that Olwethu was pregnant brought me back. I mean when we first talked about it she didn't seem interested and she said she was a bit young.. which I fully agreed with and understood... but when she said she was pregnant I was taken off guard and later the happiest woman alive. Two kids aren't any child's play, so I needed to get my shit together so I can be with her and there for her too.The drive to work didn't take much. I got out of my car with my bag in my hand and limpered up to the ground floor to get the lift. It arrived in no time and I went up. I made myself tea and then went to my office. I smiled when I got a text from my fiance around 9 saying: ❤WIFE❤: Good morning beautiful woman of my dreams.. I'm finally at the mall, I know I
"I look like a fucken whale..." I groaned stuffing another spoon of ice cream in my mouth..."My hot fucken whale.." Vee said and I rolled my eyes and stuffed another spoon full of ice cream in my mouth.Vee took the bucket, "baby this is too cold.. don't get my children cold..."I rolled my eyes again, I think my hormones were messing with me, "are they the only thing you care about?" She laughed, "are you jealous of your own children woman?" I shrugged, "no.. it's just how you made it sound like." "Well, they are a me.. and you're mine. I can't live without the three of you guys..So stop letting your hormones take you all over the place.""I'm hungry.." I said dismissing what my fiance said and she got up and took the crutches she was now using to help her walk.It was like a miracle how fast my soon to be wife was recovering. But I wasn't surprised, she was determined and set to actually being okay before I could give birth. "I'll go make you food..." ..The following weeks we
"What?" Vee asked looking at the guy confused.. "Zai got bail today so yeah.. I came to say that.." "How Matthew? How did she get bail?" Vee's mother asked seeming mad. "Wait.. mom calm down, I don't even understand why we are told this. Shouldn't you tell her family so they can celebrate..and leave us out of it, she ain't connected to us anymore." Fuck.. I didn't regret the fact that we hadn't told Vee about Zai being the one responsible for her accident, I just felt like shit because of how she was about to find out. "Umh Valentia... I'm telling you this because Zai is the cause of your accident.." My fiance furrowed her brows in confusion, "what do you mean...?" "She tampered with your breaks.. you couldn't stop your car and then another one collided with you.." Vee looked at us and our faces said it all. We didn't need to audibly admit that it was all true. "Why am I only finding out now?""Valentia...""Why am I finding out now? I need to know that.. I been out of the h
I waited anxiously on my bed after that brief phone call with Vee's doctor.My fiance got back to our bedroom from the bathroom.. "What's going on?" "You still don't know?" She made a face and held her waist. "Fuuuuuck my waist is painful..." I laughed almost in tears, "you still don't get it..." She shook her head and I went to kiss her cheek and then kneeled in front of her, "baby..." "Yes..." I pinched her legs and she hit my shoulder, "baby ouch!!" I laughed again, this was just fucken amazing. She could feel.. She could fucken feel. "You are seriously fucking with me babe... why would you ask if I still don't get shit and then pinch me..?" I smiled at her. I was so darn happy. "That was fucken painful baby..." she said cutely and I ached my brow, "so baby I was pinching you where and it was what?" She looked at me and then suddenly her face changed.. when she realized why I was acting weird.. "Oh fuck!"I laughed.. "Oh fuck.. why didn't you say it. I feel so fucken
I stood there listening to my heat beat as I watched the woman I love look at me confused. She shook her head still looking all confused, "Olwethu... are.... are you pregnant?" I swallowed nodding my head a bit, "y...yes.. I'm pregnant." She looked at me. The way I was feeling so emotional right now I was near being teary. I wanted her to say something or else I was going to lose my mind. "Umh... why?" I swallowed. This was where I was going to come out as this huge ass idiot I am. "Because I was losing my mind." "So being pregnant fideal?" "I don't..." I said and wiped the tears that were threatening to escape. I sat on the side if the bathtub and started playing with my fingers nervously."I... it's not easy to understand but I get why I did it." "Well.. I wanna get it like you too.. how far along are you even?" "Approaching three months. Okay.. so a lot of shit was happening... and when your mom supported Zai in switching off your machines I thought I was going to lose yo
I tried to close my eyes but it was just hard. Her words kept on playing in my head. I wondered if I should tell her I was pregnant. Was that going to add on or just make her happy? What if it added her stress and she beat herself up because she couldn't take care of me? I was so conflicted and time was running against me. My baby bum was starting to show.. I was surprised that it was taking time but it was starting to be visible but only when I was fully naked. I sighed.. "Baby..." I heard her voice and kept quiet. "Baby I know you're up.. please talk to me.." So after my bath I came straight to bed and by the looks of things Vee was still outside in the balcony. I fixed her place to sleep in and I climbed in bed. "Baby I'm sorry..." she said in almost a whisper and I removed the blanket that was on me and turned towards her. She was still sitting in her wheelchair... In honesty, I understood Vee's frustrations.. She was going through a lot and it was just getting to her that
I felt my throat grow dry... like God this couldn't be happening. I waited four fucken years for Valentia.. how long should I wait in order to finally have her as mine? For the rest of my life? My mind was racing and I honestly was telling myself that this was it. I was going to go home, pack my bags and move to the US or Australia.. anywhere but not here. I wouldn't be able to watch her and Zai again. I couldn't just sit here and watch the woman I love love someone else. It was going to rip me up and I'd probably lose my baby too... This was it. I wasn't going to be here anymore. I looked at her one last time and she smiled, "baby come here..." I turned around and didn't see Zai behind me. "Baby I'm talking to you.. come here.."I shook my head and took one step back away from her again... "Tia can you stop my fiance..." My heart skipped when she said that and I looked at her. She smiled, "come here Olwethu... can't I get a hug.." "You are not funny..." I said and she laug
