I woke up at 11:21 the next morning. I had a very hard time sleeping the previous night because I was ambushed with thoughts about Thebe. As much as I would have wanted to sleep throughout the day, I couldn't because they were playing music so loudly that day; it was after all a Saturday. I remember this because I so badly wanted to just go out and be wild that day. I took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs to fix myself something to eat. I found Malcolm and Sihle all cuddly on the couch, and unlike KG, Malcolm didn't jump, he just went with the flow. Everyone else had left the house so it was just the three of us.
I was bored and I had no idea where everyone else had went so I decided to call Menzi and find out if he was going to be able to meet me for lunch. He told me that he was busy and he would text me around 5pm and whilst I waited for that, I called KG to find out what the plan was since it was a Saturday. He told me about an event that was happening at Zambezi, I just told him to arrange admission. I grabbed the book I was reading and went to go sit in the garden. My baby brother Oageng called to ask me to buy him a new phone. He was sixteen and just like every other teenager, he wanted to fit in. My mother wasn't budging because he had lost five phones in one year. I felt obliged to help him but that involved having to touch my laptop to send him money and knowing me, as soon as I would turn it on, I'd want to start working. That would obviously mean I wouldn't have time for anyone.
Menzi sent me a text letting me know that he was in Sandton and asked me to meet him there. I told him I'd arrive there in about thirty minutes and since I waited for his text, he too would have to wait for my arrival. I rushed into the house and changed into something nice. I grabbed my car keys and headed out. I didn't even tell Sihle where I was going. Why was I even meeting Menzi though? I guess I was just being vulnerable and looking for someone to take my mind off things. He was the perfect candidate.
