After the meeting, everyone headed back to their rooms to recover. Lincoln on the other hand had a lot of explaining to do to Kelebogile and it wasn’t going to be easy for him. KG had managed to mess up everyone's day once again. Nobody wanted to cook that day so I ordered take-outs for everyone. Ideally I would have just gone out to eat by myself and stuff myself but I wasn’t raised that way.
I couldn’t believe that Sihle was actually jealous over me and Malcolm kissing at a game that he himself suggested. If you’re going to suggest a game such as Spin The Bottle, you have to be able to handle the repercussions of it as well. I was starting to feel all different types of things. I felt hungry, angry, disappointed and depressed all at the same time. It’s funny how one night of fun can mess up one’s life.
I went downstairs and for the first time in a long time, there was no one. It looked so clean. The chairs at the table were properly tucked in. The couches looked so lonely and the TV was off. It was so quiet. I felt so out of place because I have never known the Gigolo’s castle to be like that. I also felt empty inside and I just needed to talk to someone, anyone who would listen but everyone was keeping to themselves. Kelebogile probably wanted nothing to do with me after that night and I felt really bad about the way she got to find out about Lincoln and I. Gavin didn’t return to the house that day, he went back to his place and it’s probably because he also felt that things wouldn’t be the same again. From that day onwards, I started to appreciate everyone because I got to feel what it would be like to be without them. A few moments later, the delivery man came with our order.
I went to the gate to collect it and wished him a good night. I was walking back into the house when KG came out and offered to help me with the packages. We were the only two people downstairs. I fetched the plates and he came with the glasses. We hadn’t said a word to each other but we were helping each other set out the table. He would repeatedly pause and look at me and I’d carry on setting up the table pretending as if he wasn’t there. “How was work?” he asked. I looked at him and carried on with what I was doing. He took a deep breath and carried on helping me with the table. “So is this how it’s going to be? You’re just going to keep ignoring me like this?” he asked. Again I didn’t respond. I just carried on with whatever I was doing. He then walked straight up to me and lifted my chin with his finger. “Look, I said I was sorry. What more do you want from me?” he added. He then looked at me and he could see just how disappointed I was with him. I trusted KG and I really didn’t expect that he would one day turn around and do what he did. I could have said something but I was too disappointed to even utter a single word to him because I felt as though he didn’t deserve that from me or anyone else for that matter.
I then went upstairs to tell everyone that dinner was ready. After having done that, I headed to my room to check my phone. Messages from people who knew about the party kept coming in and amongst them was a message from Menzi. He was telling me that they came to an agreement with regards to him not marrying Zodwa and that he was leaving town. I was under the impression that he had already left. I tried to call him to find out where he was and he told me that I shouldn’t worry about him before he hung up. I tried calling him a number of times after that but his phone was off. I just put my phone down and went downstairs to join everyone who showed up for dinner, I didn’t want to but I knew that I had to…
