GOOD GIRL GONE BAD- PART 2

“Hi.. I am Lufuno” he said as he confidently extended his arm for a handshake.

There was something about his confidence, something about his appearance and poise that warmed her heart. She told him her name, and they began to converse. He was Venda and told her his name meant “Love”.

In a short space of time they had practically shared one anothers’ life stories;  she also learned that he was a Pharmacist by profession but a businessman too.

She was enjoying his company and it would appear that they were getting along very well. Occasionally, they joined the rest of the crew on the dance floor.

Time seemed to move rather quickly that night and before they knew it, it was 02h00. It was time for him to leave and she walked out to his car where they exchanged numbers, a tight hug and a lingering kiss.  

She hurried back inside with a huge girly smile on her face. She was both excited but also shocked at what had just transpired. She was not feeling guilty though.

“Lufuno.. Venda.. Sleek wheels.. Good Looking.. Chocolate Complexion.. A Pharmacist AND businessman! Wow Wow Wow!!” This seemed like the kind of guy that only dreams were made of.   

The crew headed back home the next day after a pretty eventful night.

He called her on her journey back and she promised to call when she arrived home.

And this, this spelled the beginning of the end. It was the beginning of an exciting love affair but also the end of a dead-beat marriage.    

She arrived home in the early evening and he was not home. There was nothing peculiar about that. He was hardly ever home , and she was not expecting him back anytime before midnight.

Lufuno was happy to hear she was home safe and they chatted for an hour uninterrupted.

She deleted her call history (because woman cheat SMART) and went to bed.

True to expectation, he arrived way past midnight and awoke her to begin the usual interrogation session; “What time did you arrive, with whom did you sleep, how many guys asked for your number” blah blah blah…. Only, this time around, he had every reason to question her. She had a hint of attitude with each response and she had to duck a few slaps because, not only was she a bit cocky with her responses, she was even rolling her eyes.

The next morning, she left the house earlier than usual for her long walk to the bus stop.  She wanted to have enough time to chat with the Pharmacist before she started work.

The sound of his voice was a breath of fresh air. It was soothing, it was comforting. He told her he missed her and how he was longing to see her again. He told her she was beautiful.

He made her feel special, he made her feel wanted.

They talked every day, for hours on end.   It was so effortless to pull off, the Mister was never home.

Lufuno invited her to visit him in the big city. He wanted to spend time with her and was also eager to introduce her to his close friends.

She came up with a little lie about a work related training session which was taking place the following week (which Mister did not believe, not that she cared at this point).

The Venda Prince (yes that is how his name was now saved on her phone) booked her flight to O.R. Tambo International Airport, where he was to pick her up. She was both nervous and excited as this was to be her very first flight.

She landed safely in Johannesburg after quite a lovely first time flight experience.

She reached into her handbag for her cellphone and made a call to Lufuno to notify him that she had landed. His mobile phone was on voicemail. She tried him on the landline but it rang unanswered… 

 

 Until next week for Part 3, much love and God Bless!!
