When we were in the bathroom, Ntombi did lend me her powder but Lira had something else. I looked at her throw the powder carefully on the counter and she sniffed it, Carol did the same thing and Ntombi as well. I was stunned. Powdering their noses actually meant sniffing what looked like cocaine.
‘What’s that?’ I asked with a scared voice.
‘Come on now, don’t tell me you have never seen this! Coke.’ Carol exclaimed.
‘Cocaine. I know what it is.’
‘Then why do you ask? Come on and join us.’
Billy, the charmer
Billy was leaning against the door of his Mini Cooper, waiting for me. He smiled at me from a distance. He just looked at me and smiled from ear to ear. When I finally got to him, he hugged me tightly; more like squeezed me and gave me a baby kiss. You’d swear we already had the title of boyfriend and girlfriend. He once again told me how beautiful I looked and he smelled good as usual. He opened the passenger door for me, like a princess then he sat in his. We drove in silence, but not total silence because he was playing music. The local Kwaito music. That fascinated me. A rich boy from the suburbs playing Kwaito. I thought he was goin
When I got inside, I thought Anna would be asleep but there she was, waiting for me like a mother of a trouble-some teenager. ‘Chomee
Dating Billy AndersonThe next few weeks were very good. Billy and I were officially in a relationship. He took me everywhere. To the movies, the park, shopping. He actually gave me an allowance, fetched me and dropped me wherever, whenever. He even took me to a beauty salo
Shopping was bliss because we got along (thanks to Billy’s credit card) and we got exactly what we wanted. I was buying a lot of swimsuits with different colours, forgetting that they would sell me out to Anna, especially because I didn’t want her to know about my excursion to Durban. Anna was two years older than me, so she felt a great deal of responsibility for me. She often told me that I am now her little sister, the sister that she never had. She had this paranoia about Billy sleeping with me and then leaving me. Hence that’s why I didn’t want her to know about our plans.‘Petunia, what exactly are we shopping for?’ Anna asked without looking at me.‘We are shopping for the fun of it. Isn’t that what girls d
Durban, what a paradise
We went shopping for our groceries, hand in hand, joked about things and kissed frequently. We didn’t buy a lot of things since we left the car behind, so we didn’t need to strain our limbs with heavy bags of food. We just got things that we needed for the night and we said to get the rest of them the following day. We couldn’t get our hands off each other, we were basically inseparable. We were figuratively joined at the hip. Billy was a little strange though. He was on the phone a lot and he moved away when he answered or made a call. I must say he got me a little worried because he never used to do that. A part of me wanted to confront him and a part of me didn’t. I thought maybe he must be talking to his dad about the morning’s events and maybe he didn’t want me to be upset.We then got back to our m
