Zodwa was humming around in her house when she heard a knock, grunting she went to the door and pulled it open.

Zodwa: Yes, ubani wena (you are?)

Lesedi smirked and pushed through to get in.

She eyed her house in distaste, then tskd.

Zodwa raised her eyebrows, her hands going to her hips.

Zodwa: Excuse me, who are you, vele watheleka kwami nje (you just barged at my house like that)

Lesedi: Your house, please you call this but a house?

Zodwa had to hold herself back not to prance at this woman's head.

Lesedi: I'm Lesedi, Lesedi Dube.

Zodwa gulped, her eyes widening. What was it with people just coming back into her life suddenly, first it was Snakes and now it's Lesedi, were her bad deeds catching up with her? She hoped not.

Zodwa: Oh, James' wife, ng'kusiza ngani? (what can I help you with?)

Lesedi: O nale se biti waitse ( You have the audacity you know ) you sell your skank of a child to my husband and then you get him killed, and now my children are traumatized and without a father.

Zodwa: Yima khona lapho we mfazi (hold it right there woman) first of all, I didn't sell my child, James bought her, there's a difference. And who do you think you are coming to my house to tell me bullshit?

Lesedi: Listen here, I came here to warn you that if you don't help me take down that bastard who killed my husband you going down with him. So which one is it gonna be?

Zodwa stared at the woman in contemplation, could she really try to take down Snakes, he was a dangerous man and she didn't want to cross a man like that.

Zodwa: Do you even know the person you want to fiddle with?

Lesedi: Mndeni Zikalala, calls himself Snakes for some reason, he killed my husband and that's enough for me to know he deserves death, which I'm going to give him.

Zodwa: Get out of my house mfazi, you just gonna bring bad luck to my life, talking about killing the most dangerous man alive. Uyahlanya lo! (she's crazy )

She muttered the last bits to herself, as she pushed Lesedi out of her house.

Lesedi: Here's my card, if you don't want to find yourself at the receiving end of death then call me.

Zodwa: Ohambe wemfazi (just go woman)

She closed the door in her face. Seeing the card on the floor she took It and put it in her pocket. She didn't know why. She took her phone and dialed Lisa's number.

Lisa: Hello?

Zodwa: Hello, Monalisa? It's your mother.

The line went silent, Zodwa checked the ID caller to see that she still hadn't hang up.

Zodwa: Hello, Monalisa? Hello?

Lisa: Ufunani ma? (what do you want mother )

Zodwa scoffed, no matter what, she could never find herself loving Lisa, she yearned for her other child, a child she had lost. Sighing she buried the though far.

Zodwa: You so entitled wena sies, I called to warn you and that boyfriend of yours but nevermind.

She hung up and rolled her eyes, she couldn't care less if anything happens to either of them.

Snakes: What's wrong love?

Snakes asked as he came out from the shower in a towel, another one drying his hair.

Lisa: My mother called.

Snakes stiffened, a million thoughts ran to his mind, did she tell Lisa anything, why did she fucken call in the first place. One thing for sure, he was paying her another visit.

Lisa: Did you head me? Mndeni?

Snakes: Huh? What?

Lisa: I said she was speaking about warning us but she didn't specify on what, are you okay?

Snakes walked to his walk in closet, grabbing his clothes and hanging them on the hanger. He dropped the towel.

Snakes: Yeah, I'm fine, a warning? What's that about?

Lisa: I don't know, she's my mother she's always been a liar, I wouldn't put anything she says to mind.

Snakes: Mhm...

He looked away as he wore his underwear. One thing for sure, he wasn't going to just let it go, he'll find out what she meant.

Snakes didn't even notice that Lisa was now dressing him, he's been in his thoughts.

Snakes: Well aren't you a cutie?

He said looking at her as she buttoned his shirt.

Lisa: What is wrong with you?

She chuckled lightly as his randomness. Snakes always just found a way to make her blush, in the most unexpected moments like right now.

Snakes: What do you think there's something wrong with me admiring you?

Lisa: Well for starters you used the word 'cute' and you look to be far in thought, I've literally been standing here, getting you dressed and you didn't notice, what's wrong?

Snakes sighed, rubbing his face with his hands.

Snakes: Nothing.

Lisa: Mndeni!

Snakes: There's nothing wrong I swear.

Lisa: Well I can't believe that now since you zoned out on me, come on tell me what's-

Snakes: For fuck sakes Monalisa, there is nothing wrong!

Lisa dropped her hands from his tie, walking to the bathroom.

Snakes: Monalisa wait-

She locked the door and stripped out of her clothes to get into a shower. Who did this nigga think he is, talking to her like that when she was just trying to help him. What happened to communication between two people who are in a relationship. She was angry at him for talking to her like that, but one thing she was hurt that he doesn't trust her enough to let her in and confide in, what is she here for if he can't share his problems with her.

Snakes called his office letting them know he'll be late for work today. He needed to fix shit with Monalisa fast. He couldn't afford having her mad at him, he didn't mean to snap at her like that, he just didn't want to have to spill out what he's hiding to her, oh how much he wanted to be free from this secret that eats him up everyday, the guilt.

He sat on the bed waiting for her. After a few minutes she came out wearing a robe. She didn't even glance at him as she went to the walk-in closet to retrieve her clothes.

She didn't even turn around to see that it was Snakes' who had his hands on her waist from behind. He rested his head on her shoulder.

Snakes: Are you mad at me?

Lisa: No, I'm more hurt than mad.

Snakes: I'm sorry.

Lisa I don't need your sorries Mndeni I need your trust, but clearly you can't provide it.

She walked out of the closet with tights, a baggy tee she got from Snakes' clothes and lacy undergarments.

She took off the robe and stood in front of the mirror, taking her lotion. But before she could do anything, she was turned around and soon her lips were claimed by Snakes.

Lisa: Mndeni what are you-

Snakes: I trust you, I'm sorry.

He picked her up and walked with her to bed, hovering over her he places her on the bed. He started sucking her neck, his hand playing with her breast.

Snakes: God you beautiful.

She bit her lip as Snakes' continued to devour her body with his mouth. He striped naked as well, pulling Lisa's legs apart he thrusted into her deep. She whimpered at the pain.

Snakes: Fuck! You so tight, and so damn wet.

He pulled out and went in again, she moaned out loud. He kept going until they both reached their climax.

Lisa got up to go to the bathroom, Snakes yanked her back to him, she landed on his naked lap. Making her straddle him.

Snakes: Where do you think you going love?

Lisa: I thought we were done- ahhh

He put his manhood in her as he held her waist.

Snakes: Ride me baby.

Lisa complied as Snakes' put her breast his mouth.
