S’bu took a deep breath and made a call.
S’bu, Thandi said answering the call. MaDlamini, how are you? S’bu asked calmly. I’m fine but you don’t sound like your usual self, what’s the matter? Thandi asked. She had spoken to S’bu over the phone more than anyone else and could tell the slightest change in his voice. I heard that you planning on giving Tsepo your virginity, S’bu said trying his best to sound calm. Mandy!, she had no right to tell you that! Thandi exclaimed. She’s your best friend and concerned about you. Is this really what you want? S’bu asked. Thandi did not respond. Virginity is not something to be ashamed of, it should be celebrated and you should be proud of yourself for it. I know it can’t be easy being targeted and I’m sorry you have to go through that. It will be a big mistake if you are doing this because you are being pressurised but if you tell me that you doing it because you areS’bu, I get that you are sorry and I believe you but I need more than that, Thandi told him with a serious face.Ask for anything and you got it, S’bu promised.I need you to consider my feelings before acting. I know that we are not married but could you not hook up with my friends and family? Thandi said and waited for him to respond.Instead of responding S’bu pulled her to his arms and kissed her passionately. To Thandi’s surprise the kiss felt so right that she kissed him back. Soon they were both breathing fast and Thandi had unbuttoned his shirt. Thandi broke the kiss as something on S’bu’s chest caught her eye and her jaw dropped.S’bu, are you crazy! she exclaimed.Yes, about you, I am, he said following her gaze.Does it come off? Thandi asked, touching the tattoo that was on S’bu’s chest above his heart.It’s permanent, like my love for you, he said charmingly.I was with Tsepo when you did this! Are
S’bu broke off the kiss and said “today was perfect, we don’t have to do anything else”.I want to, Thandi said with conviction.S’bu picked her up suddenly and carried her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and took of his coat without looking away from her. Next he moved on top of her and kissing her passionately while holding her hands above her head. He moved his lips to her ear and whispered “you better stop me now before I loose control”.Never, Thandi whispered back freeing her hands, unbuttoning his shirt and removing it.S’bu kissed her neck hard and she moaned with pleasure. Hearing her moan drove S’bu to the urge, he completely lost his control. Soon they were both completely naked, S’bu was kissing her breast and they were both breathing fast.S’bu, what... what if it doesn’t fit? she hesitated looking at his manhood. She had not expected it to be so big.S’bu laughed, don’t worry it will fit and I will be very
S’bu’s phone rang, Mandy started shouting at him the moment he answered.S’bu are you crazy? I asked you to stop Thandi from loosing her virginity, you decided to just replace Tsepo and let her do it anyway!, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you get enough of those many floozes you have? I’m going to kill you! Mandy screamed over the phone.Thandi overheard the conversation and took the phone from S’bu to talk to her friend.Mandy, calm down, it was my idea. S’bu tried to change my mind, he really did but I had made up my mind. It was bound to happen soon or later and I’m glad it’s over now, she said.Was he gentle? Mandy asked concerned.It was perfect, Thandi said looking at S’bu smiling.If I knew how much I was missing out, I would have surrendered to your brother a long time ago, Thandi said teasingly.Hey, that’s my brother you talking about. Careful you don’t get pregnant, Mandy said before dropping the call.&nb
S’bu had been sitting quietly watching Thandi’s every move. Seeing her about to leave, he stood up in front of her blocking her from leaving.Thandi, are you so mad at me that you willing to go back home without your Mother’s cow? You willing to leave your family and mine thinking that you have loose morals and have been sleeping around? S’bu asked his heart sinking. If Thandi did not care to set the record straight with his family then she must have decided that there was no future for her in the Jobe family. That means she was planning on leaving him forever this time.This was your will, why should I prove anything, Thandi responded looking down.Can everyone please sit down, S’bu asked Thandi’s Aunts who were on their feet about to leave.Thandi is different from most girls, she has outstanding morals and I have been told a multiple times even by my own Mother that I don’t deserve her. Three years ago I made a mistake of telling the whol
S’bu arrived accompanied with Menzi and they received the warmest welcome from Thandi’s family. Everyone was fussing over them, even neighbours came to introduce themselves. Thandi avoided everyone and stayed in her room but was soon dragged out by one of her Aunts who insisted she must come and sit with S’bu and have lunch with him.When Thandi walked into the lounge, she saw S’bu first and their eyes met.MaDlamini, he greeted her lovingly.Thandi blushed. No matter how angry she was with S’bu, he still made her blush when he addressed her like that.First Lady, Menzi greeted her bowing down.Please don’t do that, Thandi said embarrassed.You will get used to it since all Jobe men will greet you like that from now on, Menzi told her.Thandi looked at S’bu for explanation but he only smiled at her.After lunch Thandi left with S’bu and Menzi.

During the weekend Thandi and Mandy went to visit uncle Zake who had invited them. They were received with warm hands by Zake and his wife. Zake apologised to Thandi for insinuating that she was after S’bu’s money and for the aphrodisiac. Thandi realised that Zake was a smooth talker like S’bu and Menzi. By the time the weekend was over, they were all getting along very well.Back in the university, the sports teams were preparing for inter-varsity tournaments. Universities around the country would be meeting in Johannesburg to compete against each other in all sports fields.Thandi was in her university netball team squad and very excited to be part of the team. She thought she could spend the rest of the weekend with S’bu since the tournament was on Friday but S’bu was visiting Menzi in Durban that weekend.That Friday Thandi joined her team mates and all players from other sports departments in front of the cafeteria and were taken to Johannesburg by th
Thandi still could not put her foot down, Tsepo carried to her room and suggested she goes to the hospital to have it checked but Thandi thought it was a sprain that would get better with painkillers and rest.In her room she turned and twisted in bed, the pain was just getting worse despite the painkillers and her ankle was getting more swollen. She took a pillow and put it under her ankle trying to elevate it,hoping to alleviate the swelling and pain. She took more painkillers and tried sleeping.In Duma’s flat S’bu was in a foul mood because Thandi would not talk to him and decided to leave with Tsepo, her ex boyfriend. He tried to forget by flirting with Wendy but could not.Why does she have so much power over you? Wendy asked getting annoyed. She was more beautiful than Thandi but S’bu was not even paying attention to her.She’s the love of my life, S’bu told her.Wendy wanted to ask more questions but S’bu was taken away by Duma wh
S’bu and Tsepo were all of a sudden chatting like old friends ignoring Mandy. By the time they got in to see Thandi they had exchanged phone numbers and made plans to meet.Thandi was happy to see them but was puzzled by the dramatic change in S’bu and Tsepo’s relationship.Mandy and Tsepo left before visiting hours were over to give S’bu and Thandi some privacy.MaDlamini, he called her lovingly.Thandi blushed.You have no idea how terrified I was when you were in theatre, he said holding her hand.Thandi smiled remembering how S’bu bombarded the Orthopaedic surgeon and Anaesthetist with questions about their techniques and failure rates. The nurses also to
