The Dead End

I was waiting anxiously for Tia to come tell me all about her trip to Cape Town to meet Walter.Well ever since she came back,she's has never talked about it,and to my view,it was like she never wanted to talk about it.I was wondering what could've happened.She wasn't calling the guy these days like she used to before she went to see him.Calls coming into her phone at late nights were cut short.

After a whole lot of courage given to her i donno by who,she started telling me all about it.

''Walter lied to me Jane.I told him i don't wanna be lied to.He said he was living alone,but i found two other guys there who he said are his couzins and that they came in like three months ago.Why the fuck didn't he tell me about them when we were talking online? I was looking forward to just having him to myself and just the two of us in the house,but that never happened and i always missed him because he was always out...something to do with meeting up with business associates.What business? He never told me about it when i asked.If he's home his phone was always ringing,and he'll be giving orders to the person at the other end.''

''So what's wrong in there? I mean he's a man,and he's probably making a living down there.You got a problem with that?.C'mon girlfriend,you should be proud of him now!''

''You know sunday morning we went to Johannesburg.In fact we went Benoni,a place called modeebee.It's kinda like a maximum prison.I asked what we were going to do there.He said we were coming to check on one of the guys he used to do business with.''

''What business is it if i may ask?''

''Do you mind listening?'',Tia said to me with a raised eyebrow.''the guy in prison has got plots like in most parts of the world.Brazil,Holland,The U.K,America,and so on.If you see that guy you won't believe what i was told he did.Ohh God! he's Godammn cute!''

''what did he doooo Tia say it!'', i insisted.

''i was told he got caught at one of the airports trying to cross with some drugs''.The drugs were hidden inside his stomach! Can you believe that? I was so scared when i heard that and then i started wondering what kinda person Walter is.''

''I used to do that myself,'' Walter told Tia on their way back. ''but i figured out there ain't enough money from that business and i quit and switched on to something else.''

''soo what do you do now?'' Tia asked.

''Last week the police came to my house and they searched every where''.

''Why?''

''Well apparently,somebody told them i'm involved in the Nigeria 419 thing,so they searched my house and took my laptop,my business phone and my last R30 000 i had in the house''.

''Why du keep that kinda money inside the house? Why not open an account and lorge it in there?''

''It's difficult to open bank account in South Africa,especially if you are foreigner''

''Oh! Really? Okay.But...wena are you involved with the 419 thing?''

Walter gave a foxy laugh.The topic was never talked about it again.

''So what are you planning to do now girlfriend?''

''Who? me? You think i'm going back to that guy? God forbid oh! I aint going back there.You know i was always scared that something might come up while i was still there.Like maybe the police will come again.And Walter has got so many shops there,where does he get the money to open such kind of shops and as many as they are? Ah-ah! i aint going back to him now! Tufia kwa!''

''Did you tell him that?''

''Tell him what? He'll see the writing on the wall.I can't live with that kind of person''.

''Mmh! i gues i believe you.You know Eddy used to tell me about Nigerians and how dangerous they are.He doesn't really like them,especially those from the Ibu tribe.Yoruba i hear they are better,but well they are all Nigerians,there's no difference!...But you guys did had 'fun' right?''

''Oh you mean the sex? Of course now.He's way too good.He's got a sexy circumcised dick that worked wonders.But still i aint going back.Whatever we had,we had.''

''You know Tia nna i aint got anything to say to that.That's your sole decision to make,and i hope that's what you want.I hope one day you won't come running and talking shit coz still i wont have anything to say to you then like now.''

''I've made up my mind Jane,that guy is dangerous.Even in just the way he talks on the phone.He'll be making this scary faces.Ah-ah!''

''okay...okay''

''how about Edwin? Have you talked to him lately?''

''Edwin and i are talking.things will be fine i gues.''

''let them be fine oh.You been mourning him for way too long now.''
