We drove back to the house and as we entered the house Lincoln grabbed my hand and held on to it for everyone to see. Kelebogile’s eyes popped out! KG’s face just changed immediately, his face was boiling. Everyone else was confused but the people that knew what was going on had already started reacting. “Lincoln… Please babe… No!” Kelebogile cried. I felt like crying with her because for some reason I knew exactly what she was feeling. “I’m sorry Kelebogile… I can’t do this anymore” said Lincoln. “Really Earl? Just like that?” KG added. “I’m sorry” I said. “I’m really starting to feel like I’m lost in my own home, what’s happening this time around?” asked Morithi. I had nothing to say. Kelebogile just screamed, almost as if she had been stabbed in the heart, KG just looked at me and walked up to his room. I knew what to expect when I agreed to Lincoln’s request but I was in love! KG came back downstairs with an overnight bag and asked Sihle to drop him off at home. Malcolm stood up and opted to leave with them because he too couldn’t handle what was happening. “I hope you rot in hell you filthy bitch!” KG said as he walked up to me as if he was ready to attack me. Lincoln blocked him in my defense.
“Don’t even touch me guy, does your Earl know that you slept with his best friend Sihle?” KG said to Lincoln. I immediately let go of Lincoln’s hand and I saw Sihle looking for a hole to hide himself. “What?!” exclaimed Malcolm. KG confirmed it and I begged him to stop whatever he was doing because I knew exactly how it was going to end. “You are such a fool Earl, you trusted me didn’t you? You trusted me enough to tell me that Malcolm was cheating on Sihle with Gabriel but you couldn’t tell him that! And then you call yourselves best friends?” KG added. At that point I was getting angry so I swore at him. Sihle then turned around and asked me how I could go on being his friend knowing that his man was unfaithful. I found him to be so hypocritical especially given the fact that he slept with the one man he knew I never stopped loving. His excuse was that I had broken up with Lincoln and I needed not react in the way that I did. I turned around and looked at Lincoln and asked him if all this was true and he said it was a mistake. “Mistake? Is that what you call me? When you are the one who came crying to me telling me how much pain Earl caused you and how you wish you never asked him out! Don’t test me Lincoln!” Sihle replied.
I didn’t know what to say in reaction to that so I just kept quiet and tried to compose myself because if I was going to say anything I would mess things up, unfortunately for me, God was in the mood for a show that day. Kelebogile who had been crying the whole time calmed down and tried to absorb everything as it was happening. Morithi and the other guys tried to intervene. KG warned them not to but they just insisted. “Morithi, if I was you, I’d be worried about the blanks that I’m shooting, those kids that Thobile is carrying are not yours buddy!” KG said. “Oh my God Earl, how could you do this to me?” Thobile cried. “I didn’t say a thing, I swear!” I replied. KG then confessed that it was Nigel who told him the truth about the pregnancy. “So you knew Earl?” Morithi sadly asked me. I felt so weak because I could see the tears in his eyes. I tried to explain myself but he just walked up to his room and I stood there looking like a fool. He then came back down and came straight to my face. “Oh, you are not exclusive to KG buddy; see your best friend Gavin? He’s been there too!” Morithi said.
There was an awkward silence. Nobody saw that one coming. I just slowly nodded as I took that in and Gavin didn’t know what to do with himself. The atmosphere in the house was very tense. Everyone was angry at the next person. Morithi was angry at me and Thobile. Thobile was angry at Nigel. Nigel was angry at KG for outing him. KG was angry at the world. I was angry at my friends and Lincoln, everyone was just angry! These kinds of things happen when KG decides to open his mouth. I then saw a side to Sihle that I had never seen before when he decided to lie about me using Lincoln just so that Lincoln could be mad at me and walk out on me. That’s exactly what he did. Everyone dispersed and I was left with Sihle. “You bitch! You lied!” I said as I was readying myself to attack him. “There’s no way you can get to keep Lincoln and I lose my Malcolm. You are so weak and clearly boring in bed because I always get your men. Tshepo? Thebe? Lincoln? I’ve slept with them all” Sihle added.
I just cried. I was speechless. I couldn’t believe that Sihle would do that to me, but I just left it as it was. Everyone packed their overnight bags and they left the Gigolo’s Castle that night. I had no idea if they were coming back or leaving for good but I didn’t care to ask because I knew that I would be left alone in the end and I was welcoming to the idea. Lincoln came and sat next to me in the lounge where I sat drinking wine trying to avoid everything that was happening in the house. “I’m not leaving you this time. We are going to talk about things and sort this out, they can leave, I’m not!” said Lincoln. He then hugged me and I just succumbed like a little baby.
