the lesbian gold digger

BIANCA DLAMINI

I switched of the phone and wiped my tears ; it's not like crying would make the money magically appear.I needed a solid plan.

One that would work.I unpacked the groceries and took the toiletries to the bedroom.I took a shower and wore my pyjamas and laid in bed.

My brother's life was at risk and it was my fault.If only I did not accept his help I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.I went to the kitchen and made a fruit bowl while texting my little brother.He sent me pictures of his new sneakers and told me how his friends were jealous that he got them first.

I finished eating and washed the dishes I was using.I sent Anathi a good night text and went to the bedroom and laid in bed till I fell asleep.

The next day I woke up and went to the coffee shop that was in my building.I received a text from Victor (Time is ticking Bianca) I placed the cup of coffee on the table losing interest.The waitress that bought my coffee bought three chocolate muffins.

Me:Excuse me , I did not order this

Her:Oh...I was sent by that guy over there to give them to you

She pointed at a guy that had their back to me.I couldn't see their face.I got up and took the cupcake.I placed the on his table.

Me:If I wanted cupcakes I would order them myself S'bonelo

S'bonelo:I thought I was being nice since we're practically neighbours now

Me:Ungagijwayeli kabi mina angisiwo umgani wakho(Don't be forward , I am not your friend)

He removed the matchstick from his lips and chuckled.

S'bonelo: There's no need to get upset over cupcakes

I clicked my tongue and went out of the coffee shop.

He had the audacity to move into the same complex as me.I got inside the lift.The lift was about to close when someone shouted that I stop it.I did that and it was the same women that offered to help with my groceries yesterday and I bit her head off.

She was breathing heavily and sweaty probably was jogging.She caught her breath.I could feel her eyes behind me.I cleared my throat.

Me:Good morning

She kept quite and looked at me from head to bottom.

The lift opened and she got out.

Me:Wait!

She stopped walking.

Me:I am sorry for what I said yesterday , it was unnecessary please forgive me.

She raised her eyebrows.

Her:I will forgive you on one condition

Me: which is?

Her:You jog with me tomorrow morning

Me:running is not my cup of tea

Her:Have you tried it ?

Me:Nope

Her:Then you can't knock it before you try it

Me:Okay and if I didn't like it...I'll never do it

Her:Deal...My name is Harmony by the way...I stay at that apartment over there

Me:Bianva Dlamini...I recently moved in

Her:I'll see you tomorrow morning then Bianca

Me:Yes , Harmony

She left to her apartment.I got in my apartment excited that I made a new friend.

My heart nearly stopped beating when I saw Victor going through my cabinet.

Me:What the hell ! How did you get in here?

Victor:You cabinets are boring...you should buy a whiskey nyana or better yet...vodka

He took out a packet of chips and opened them and started eating.

Victor:How far are you with the plan to get me that money?

Me:If you gave me the space to think I could but I can't with you breathing down my neck every two minutes

Victor:That's not my problem

Me:You even moved in here...wtf do you call that

Victor:Protecting my invest babygirl

Me:You have to leave because Anathi will show up anytime from now

Victor Anathi is in Abu Dhabi having a splendid time with her parents and siblings

Me:How did you know that? You know...I don't wanna know

Victor: Buy a sexy lingerie and video call her...I am positive she'll fork out more money than I want...but don't seem desperate okay?

Me:Are you done? Please leave Victor

He got closer and stood up near my face.

Victor:Don't think about telling Anathi anything or that little brother of yours...will be the first thing you lose

He kissed my cheek and went out whistling.I closed and locked the door
