Thando juggles life as business woman, a wife, a mother and running the world's biggest drug cartel.
We walked into the club that night and it was packed. Luckily we had made a reservation earlier that week. We got to the door, got our tags and were lead to our seats in the VIP section. A waitress came to our table to take our order, and tonight I felt like getting drunk. Work was hectic and I had just broken up with my boyfriend so I needed to let my hair down.
Me: Can I get a bottle of Hendrick's Gin and pink tonic, with some grapefruit and cucumber slices.
Khanyi: Hayi girl, you're in that kind of mood?
Me: Definitely!!
The girls ordered champagne, wine and vodka. The table was packed, we got a hubbly and the night officially started. We danced, we drank, we smoked... it was wonderful no stresses, just a stress free Friday night and it was only ladies. We took a couple of selfies and if I must say so myself, we looked awesome. We had guys looking at us and trying their luck with us but we weren't having it. By the time it was midnight I was tired of the gin and switched to champagne. We ordered two more bottles, it didn't seem like this night was ending any time soon. It was hot as hell and I needed to breathe a bit. I signaled for Sam that I was going to smoke and she gave me thumbs up. I stepped out the back of the club and instantly felt better, I stumbled a bit and the bouncer walked towards me. I put my hand out, "Sir I'm fine. I just missed my step. I'm ok."
He went back to his post and stood there. I was wearing a black lingerie like top with tight torn jeans and a nude pointy heel, I had take my blazer off because of the heat. I lit my cigarette and smoked, was out there for about 3 minutes then a man came out to smoke. He greeted and I greeted back, threw my cigarette on the floor and stomped it with my heel.
Him: Don't run away because of me now.
Me: I'm not; I was just done with my cigarette.
I turned around to walk inside, he held my hand.
Him: Let me buy you a drink.
Me: Let go of my arm, and no thanks.
I pulled my hand away from his and walked back inside. The girls were still at it. And I took one of the shot on the table I didn't even know what it was but it was nice.
Me: Can we get more of these??
Sam: Whoa! Hell yeah!!
My feet were starting to ache so I sat down. The waitress walked towards us with 3 bottles of champagne, and they were lit up with firecrackers. She placed the drinks in front of us and looked at me. She handed me a card and pointed to a table at the VIP section on the higher level to us. I looked up and saw the guy from outside, he waved at me and I didn't wave back. I turned back to the girls and took another shot. I put the card in my clutch without even reading it. We continued partying and I completely forgot about the mysterious man who bought us all that champagne. It was 2h30 and I was tired, drunk and hungry.
Me: Ladies, lets get out of here, I'm starved.
Khanyi: Seconded.
Pinky: Mc Deez
We were finishing off our last drinks when the waitress came by.
Her: can I get you anything else?
Me: Can we get the bill please?
Her: Your bill has been settled ma'am.
Me: What do you mean settled?
Her: Mr DeCosta settled your bill.
Me: Uhm? Who?
She pointed over to the gentleman that I had met outside smoking, the same gentlemen who sent over the bottles of champagne. He was talking to some men... I just rolled my eyes and told the ladies we should go. We took an Uber to Mc Donald's, we were drunk and rowdy. We were the only ones there; we ordered so much food, sat down and stuffed our faces. After that, we all left for my house the girls would be sleeping over tonight. We got another Uber there, by the time we arrived it was 5am and the alcohol had started to wear off. The girls went upstairs to sleep. I wasn't feeling very sleepy so I went to my room and took a shower. I completely sobered up after that. I changed into yoga pants and a lazy vest; I grab my laptop and walk downstairs. I brewed a fresh pot of coffee and set up my laptop on the couch. I made a large mug of coffee and sat down to start working. I opened my emails and there was an email from an address that I didn't recognize. The email read:
Good morning Miss Khumalo,
I hope you had a wonderful night/morning. You left before I could even say goodbye. You and your friends seemed to have had a hectic night, get enough rest I will talk to you later.
Hope to see you again soon.
Regards,
K. DeCosta
