“What’s going on here, Menzi?” she questioned angrily, startling him to gaze back at her.

Menzi cleared his throat. “Going on where, baby?”

“Who is that woman… and why are you acting as if nothing happened?”

Menzi chuckled. “Babe, relax, Lelo is no threat… she’s my ex-girlfriend.” He replied with ease.

“If she isn’t a threat, then you can tell me who she is to you.”

“She’s my ex-girlfriend,” whispered Menzi, raising his eyes and tone at Siza.

Menzi had guilt written all over his face as he filled his empty glass with wine and gulped it down, without coming up for air. He seemed more intimidated and tense. He was extremely nervous as he refilled the same glass, feeling Siza’s intense glare upon him. She knew him too well and stared him straight in the eye, whilst studying his behaviour and inspecting his every move. He replaced the glow that was there before, with a look of anger and betrayal, and he could sense that Siza was about to figure him out.

Menzi forced a smile. “Come on, babe; let’s not spoil your day with petty things, and people like Lelo.”

Siza had that pretentious grin on her face and took the last sip of her wine. She watched Menzi as if she was studying him and he tried hard not to act guilty in front of her. It was two minutes before six o’clock that evening when Siza noticed that someone turned the restaurant’s music volume up. A particular song played, and it marked an amazing moment between Siza and Menzi. It almost played on queue and related to the particular stage in their relationship. As it played out, Siza tuned in and noted the words…

“I’ll give you all I have, including a life you’ve never imagined. I will be more than a husband to you… just say you’ll be my wife.”

Siza chuckled. “Don’t cheat on me, Menzi, or there’ll be hell to pay.”

“Shh… listen to the words of the song… that’s how I feel about you,” commented Menzi, as he purposefully ignored what Siza was saying.

After reading this extract, I suspect there’s something between Menzi and this woman… something beyond both of them.

If you were Siza, what would your reaction be?

And to guys… I don’t think for a second you would let another guy do what Menzi did.

Who is Lelo to Menzi?

Here’s my last question… Is Menzi cheating?

Your views?
