"Are you ready?" Elisabeth asked me as she magically appeared in front of me while I was observing myself in the mirror. Some other women would spend the 24 hours before their wedding by going out with friends, having a bachelorette party and reflecting back on their single days; but I am not like other women. The day before my wedding will not be spent with my closest friends and half naked men with bulging crotches and tight underwear accompanied by strip poles rather, it will be spent with my future husband's eight other wives.
I'm attending their infamous tea party. I remember the disaster the previous one had been and I hope that I don't have to witness the same thing but more importantly I hope I'm not the one they all turn their fiery gaze on. I don't think I can fight eight she wolves. Matter of fact, I know that I can't fight them.
"You really made her bow down to you?" Elisabeth asked me with wide eyes as I struggled to keep the proud smirk off my face as I bit my bottom lip and stretched my arms from the position that I was laying in.The tea party with the wives had ended a few hours ago and I was relaxing with Elisabeth as I told her what happened and at first, she was giggling when I told her about how the wives all started fighting until I got to the part where I made Katherine bow down to me.I didn't think I had it in me to do such a thing and I'd be lying if I said that I had planned on doing that. I didn't plan on standing up and putting their wives in their place which was clearly all the way down there compared to me and I most definitely didn't plan on making Katherine bow at my feet but I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good.
I don't necessarily blend in, but I don't stick out either. I'm that face in the crowd that you'll notice only if you're looking for me. I'm the girl with the loud laugh and dimple, you'd look at and wonder what I was laughing at so hard.I like it that way, I like being that person. The one with the questionable fashion sense. That was me. I like getting your attention and making you wonder. I like wearing clothes that someone wouldn't necessarily pick out for themselves but see me wearing it and think, "what the hell is wrong with this girl?".That's me, that's Sarafina for you.I paint. I'm an artist, an artist with the love of playing violin and spending my free time in my own little bedroom. I enjoy looking over my paint covered fingers a
"What are you doing?" I heard her soft voice ask me, as she sat upon my shoulder. My mind was focused on the simple action of fixing my tie, even though I had done it a million times and could do it with my eyes closed. I could feel her looking at me through the reflection in the mirror."I'm getting ready for an art showcase," I told her, and then cleared my throat as I looked at my Rolex watch and monitored the time. "What are you doing here, Elisabeth?"She giggled and her sparkly wings moved with excitement as she flipped her pin
"Let me see your outfit," my mother said as I held the phone up to my face to look at hers. I smiled as I walked to the bright side of the filled room with University art students who were rushing to get done.I showed her my outfit and I saw her smile, "you look so beautiful, baby," she complimented and I smiled."Thank you, mummy.""Now, go put some make up on and take lo-""Girls!" My professor, Mevrou (pronounce v as f) Schoeman shouted over all the noise of the girls running around and trying to get ready these last few minutes, "can you all hurry up, asseblief (please)! Come on!" She clapped her hands, rushing everyone, "come on, now, ladies!"
Wynverston Arts and Creativity Museum.I couldn't believe I was standing in the middle of the largest and most prestigious arts museum in the world. This is where Art dreams came to life, only the best modern art was displayed along these halls and walls and I was in awe. I wanted to some day have my very own art displayed in this museum for young, hopeful artists to scrutinise and wonder the meaning behind.I was in art heaven.Today was a special day and I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t excited but I’d also be a liar if I said that I was only excited to see the art showcase of the African duo. I was happy that someone from our wonderful continent had gotten the opportunity of a lifetime, but I was elated that I could see all the other
"A fan of Gauthier?" I heard a rough, husky toned voice that sounded like a man- a real man, break through my little bubble, and I turned to my side to see the man who has been staring at me."Huh?" I asked him as I craned my neck back to look up at him.He looked...deadly. His features looked pronounced, even the wrinkles on his face looked like they were put there purposely to make him look more handsome. Now that he was this close to me, I couldn't help but check him out.He is the hottest man I've ever seen with my own two eyes right in front of me.He had dark brown intense eyes with a smouldering gaze and his eyebrows were shaped in a way that made his eyes seem menacing a
The sound of birds chirping and distant happy laughter met my ears as I rolled over in the bed and sighed against the feel of the silk sheets surrounding my body that were unlike anything I've ever felt in my life. Goodness, I don't remember the pillows of the hotel feeling so soft and like marshmallows against my face. I could literally sleep here forever and I wouldn't mind.I mean, Mevrou Schoeman hasn't come to wake us up yet, so maybe I can enjoy a few more minutes in this...seemingly much larger bed than the single bed I'd shared with Sihle who I kept kicking over and over.I stretched my arm out and my other leg to feel for Sihle but I couldn't find her body. I buried my face into the blanket, shying away from the warm sun on my face so I can open my eyes and look around for Sihle. Knowing her, she pr
When Elisabeth told me I had the best room in the "manor" I didn't believe it. I don't even believe that she's a fairy, I feel like I'm hallucinating and I’m under the influence of heavy drugs. But with each step that I took as I walked through the hallways, the more I saw the grandness of this home. The floor to ceiling windows, the large chandeliers that were just inches from my head, the ceramic tiles and candle lights on either side of the hallway was enough to tell me that wherever I was, was no broke man's place.We walked until we stood at the top of this grand staircase that looked like the kind you'd see in fictional fairy tales. The kind of stairs you swore were made of something magical instead of normal human beings. I held onto the one railing and began to take the many stairs to wherever this fairy was leading me.
