Busted! - Chapter 10.1: Table Wars

I got dressed and went downstairs and for the first time in the history of the Gigolo’s Castle, I found everyone at the table having breakfast. Normally Sihle, Malcolm, Lincoln, KG and I would be the only ones at the table for breakfast but that day it was everyone. I sat down and made myself comfortable. I found myself sitting next to KG and I actually realized that I would always sit next to KG at the dinner table.

“KG, could you kindly move your chair a bit.” I asked. I guess we were really squashed because everyone was at the table, including Gavin who visits frequently. The mood was positive and everyone seemed happy and energized that morning. We were all looking forward to a great day either at work or on campus until KG decided to open his mouth. “Did you guys see how long Earl and Lincoln kissed last night?” he asked the table. There was an awkward silence and some throats were cleared. My first reaction was to look at Kelebogile to see if she was okay. I was fuming and I hadn’t even touched my breakfast. I looked at KG and told him to shut up. Unfortunately for me, the mood had already started to deteriorate. “But why Earl, I mean it was long and passionate, there’s obviously more to it!” KG added. At this point, I didn’t even know where to look. He just ruined a beautiful morning for everyone by being unnecessary. Everyone at the table was silent and that’s where I realized that most of the boys in the house were afraid of KG. “Why do you insist on behaving like a pig though?” I asked him. “I didn’t think you noticed” he replied with a smug face. Thobile intervened and called KG to order. I was so angry.

“KG, it was just a game man” said Lincoln in his defense. “Babe, don’t even entertain him, he’s just being a pig like Earl said” Kelebogile added. “Oh poor Kelebogile, I’m getting you a blonde weave, you fail to see a lot of things including the fact that your boyfriend doesn’t really love you” KG laughed as he said that in response to Kelebogile. Everyone at the table stopped eating and gave KG a good stare because we all couldn’t believe how foolish he was behaving that morning. “Do you?” he asked Lincoln. Lincoln just looked at KG and there was another awkward silence. I felt like that was the perfect moment for me to leave the house. “Of course I love her! What the hell is wrong with you dude?” asked Lincoln. “Guys, I have to go!” I said as I prepared to leave the table. “Oh no… you’re not going anywhere! Lincoln how do you feel about Earl? You still love him?” KG asked Lincoln. I immediately turned around and slapped KG across the face! He got up and we wrestled whilst everyone else tried to stop the fight. Tempers were flaring! I wanted to kill him; Gavin pulled me away and kept on reminding me that he wasn’t worth it. Morithi and Lincoln were holding KG down and Morithi realized that KG was actually drunk. “It’s 7h15 in the morning and he’s already drunk! You’re such a sad case in life.” said Gavin. KG managed to escape Morithi and Lincoln’s grip and ran towards Gavin and me. I grabbed a fork on the table, strangled KG to the wall and told him I’d kill him if he ever tried to touch Gavin. “Don’t mess with me KG” I angrily said and let him go. He collapsed and struggled to catch his breath.

I quickly went up to my room to get a clean shirt for work. I then rushed downstairs, grabbed my suitcase and headed for the door. I had to get out of that house before I did anything that I would later on regret. Lincoln got into the car and just as we were about to leave, Kelebogile came running to give him his lunch. She then kissed him and apologized to him for KG’s behavior. I felt really bad when she did that and I believe that on that day, Lincoln realized just how much Kelebogile loved him. We drove out and on the way I probed him about Kelebogile.

He finally agreed to let his idea of him and I go. I could see that it was hard for him but he had to do it because Kelebogile loved him unconditionally. I guess that’s why heterosexual relationships last longer than homosexual relationships, it’s because you always find a woman that will fight with everything she has to make sure that her man stays where she wants him to. On the way to the office, I realized that I left the camera on top of the fridge and I had not turned it off!
