Dineo

Menzi looked ravishing in his dark blue suit with his freshly shaved beard, and to think he was all mine to do whatever. 

He was true to his word, he fetched me from my place. I also made an effort and bought a dress and some heels, even though it took me a bit of practice to walk in them. 

"When I said get laid, I didn't mean get yourself a fuck buddy." Zandi said as she helped me style my hair. 

I gasped and playfully hit her hand, "So you don't fuck him." 

I rolled my eyes as I looked at her through the mirror, "I do, but he is not my fuck buddy." he is more than that, more than that title. 

I doubt one can do the things Menzi and I do if they are fuck buddies. 

And I still remember what he said to me, "No strings attached." I thought I would never see him as anything more than that, but then again, it was how he looked at me whenever we were done sleeping together when he stroked his fingers near my breasts that just makes my brain turn into a puddle.

A week ago we were watching a movie with me in his arms, eating popcorn, when my stomach was filled with butterflies as he rested his head gently on mine. 

It was hard to tell my heart that it was nothing and that it can never be more than nothing. 

Even though I can never know what I feel, what I know is that we spend more time with each other than we should. 

I even spend a night or two in his place as he cooks for me, and he is a wonderful cook. 

Whenever he is not around, I crave his presence and his kisses that leave me brainless. 

I can never blame my heart for thinking that there was something there when there wasn't. The only thing bringing us together is sex and nothing else. 

"This is Brian." Menzi said introducing me to his friend who looked at me and smiled, "Nice to know you Dineo and you must be the girl who is friends with benefits with this little idiot." He said as he smiled, eyeing Menzi who looked like he wanted to punch him. 

My cheeks flushed, Brian laughed, "No need to be shy." He stayed a little longer with us before going to welcome other guests. 

"He seems nice." I said to Menzi as he took 2 sparkling wines from the table and handed one glass to me, "And he has a nice house too." I said, looking around at the mansion. 

"And also he is the pain in the ass." He said as he led me to the balcony, "I was meaning to tell you," he said leaning to the balcony's railings, "You look exquisite." 

I blushed, and I thought he didn't notice, "Thank you." 

He excused himself as he went to Brian, a couple of times I caught him staring at me for a second or two. 

I stayed at the balcony, I didn't want to mix with those people in there who see themselves as far too powerful and important than most of us. 

But I didn't mind being out here. 

"It is a sin that a woman as beautiful as you, is out here by herself." The person said as he came to the balcony.

"Themba." He offered me his hand, "Dineo." 

He held my hand in his as he smiled, "You are really beautiful, Dineo."

Themba said, letting go of my hand. 

"Thanks." I said, and there I saw Menzi looking at us. For anyone who didn't know him they wouldn't see the anger in his eyes as he eyed us. 

"Want to dance with me?" 

I shook my head, trying my hardest to ignore this guy, "I'm good." I said as I offered a tight smile so as not to seem rude. 

"Oh, you have a boyfriend?" Themba asked, looking a bit disappointed. 

"Yes, she does." I didn't need to turn to know that Menzi was here, "Is he bothering you?" 

Themba stepped back, looking scared as he eyed Menzi and back at me, "No, no. I didn't know she was with you." the poor guy nearly pissed his pants as he ran away. 

I smiled as I looked at Menzi "Did you really have to scare him like that? " 

He lifted his hands, "I didn't do anything." He said as he placed a hand on my back lightly that I barely even felt it. He kissed me on my lips. "He was lucky he ran off like that before I could rearrange his face." He said as he laughed. 

And I was no fool, I knew how intimidating Menzi could be when he wanted and how most people feared him and maybe that's why I could not resist him and his charms. 

As he led me back inside, I tried to ignore what said, "Oh, you have a boyfriend?" 

"Yes, she does."
