"Good evening Kwesta" said Simzi he's girlfriend. Kwesta let her in his small mobile home inside his mother's property. Simzi was Kwesta's girlfriend from second grade and loved Kwesta's passion for music and entertainment. They had been dating seriously for the past six months.

"I am okay my love" said Kwesta as she let her in. They were both infatuated with each other but lately Simzi had been acting weird she would never let him touch her phone and was always clubbing with Papi in clubs going for groove together, Papi was his best friend and promoter and the affair was affecting his mental state.

"What is wrong my love you seem off" she said concerned. "Nothing Simzi" he said in Zulu. "I am going to perform at the Dainty" he said. "Oh wow! The new club?" said Simzi surprised. "Papi said he would talk to the promoter and give me some showtime" he said. "Wow I am happy for you Kwesta. "Although I don't like how your always around Papi, your mine Hamba!" He said.

"Papi and I are just friends. Wena you are mine" she said. Kwesta looks distraught and quickly changed the subject. "We are together now and nothing should change that" she said. Kwesta leans in and gives him a kiss. They both make love which was passionate and smooth. They both used protection as they had discussed to always keep safe. As far as they were both concerned.

The Dainty

Kwesta arrives at the club with his friend Papi his good friend. Papi seemed nervous and they were not being let into the club. Papi calls his contact and was picking his call. "I don't know what is happening my friend, I spudded the promoter 500 rand and now they are acting up!" Said Papi. 

" Don't worry. He will show up!" said Kwesta. As the night progressed Kwesta was becoming more and more agitated and decided to bring his worries to the table.

"What is this I hear about you and Simzi?" He asked Papi. "Nothing Kwesta we are just friends now" he admitted. They both were seeing the same girl he learnt but chose to stick to business.

"Look there he is!" Papi said pointing at Truu. "What took you so long my G!" said Papi. Truu appeared drunk and was with three girls stepping out from his classic BMW vintage.

Truu spoke to the bouncer and said to not let them two roaches in the club seeming extremely intoxicated and slurry. Papi tried to enter the club but was pushed aback.

"Leave him Papi" Kwesta said blocking one of the blows to the bouncer. They both went to the bus station and took the bus. Kwesta and Papi were both saddened about the disheartening day.

They both left for their homes with heads down.
