Bad Intentions

On a Friday early morning just after five, Sarona turned in her sleep with a sigh while pulling a duvet over her body.

She paused feeling something besides her move touching her body. Her eyes snapped open immediately as her heart skipped then she paused staring at the man sleeping next to her. She looked at then looked up closing her eyes screaming in her head.

‘Dammit Sasa!’ She slowly got off bed while he slept in peace.

How she had ended up in a hotel room naked with a man was all alcohol.. ok, and a little bit of herself. Maybe a little more of herself.

That was not how she had imagined her Thursday evening to go, but then after DJ Tira took the stage at the club the previous night, there was no stopping her. It was honestly a girl’s night out with her friend. Nothing hectic and that’s when he (the one night stander) had walked in.

Sasa looked at him. He still wasn’t bad even in her sober state and his wedding ring was still where it was last night.

She quickly picked her black backless short dress and put it on.

She picked her thong from the floor and stuffed it in her handbag while checking if everything was in. Bank card, check, the P200 note for emergencies, check, lip stick.. check, phone, check.

The only thing missing where the three condoms she had left home with. She picked her heels as the stranger she couldn’t even remember what his name was moved in his sleep.

Sasa walked to the door then paused. She took a turn and went back to the mirror checking herself out. She looked at her face and satisfied, she rushed out.

Approaching the hotel’s reception, she quickly put on her heels and catwalked out, her heels clacking on the white tiles.

The doors slid open sensing her then she took out her car keys from her handbag and unlocked her red Audi A5.

Sasa got in and sighed looking at the time then drove off headed home.

She sped through the empty Gaborone roads and in minutes, she was driving through her gate. She parked her car and walked to the door taking out her house keys. She pushed the key in and turned it then walked inside.

Her heart skipped as she switched on the light coming face to face to her ex. Thabo stared at her in silence.

“What are you doing in my house?”

“O tswa kae (Where are you coming from?)” Sasa put her handbag down taking off her heels.

“Where I am coming from is not your business, what are you doing in my house?”

Thabo stood up, pissed. “So this is why you wanted to break up? So that you can go around being a w.h.o.r.e?! Ke bua le wena Sarona! (I am talking to you Sarona!) He yelled angrily.

“Get out of my house! I broke up with you because I will not be in a relationship with a man who cheated and on top of that doesn’t know how to use a condom while at it! Wa tella wena!”

“Who do you think you are talking to Sarona?”

“I am talking to you! Get out of my house, I never want to see you again!”

Thabo got closer and the more he got closer, the more he could sniff the strong male cologne on her, the hickey on her neck made nothing better. Thabo angrily raised his hand slapping her.

Sasa bit her lower grabbing his balls and twisted them. Thabo tried pushing her off but she moved back pulling them while tightening her hold on them.

“Sarona let go! I am going to kill you!”

“I am not letting go, o ntlwaela mogo maswe selo ke wena! You should have been glad I even dated you.”

He put his hand on her neck strangling her but she pulled even more that yelped in pain letting go. Sarona open her mouth then sank her teeth on his nipple doubling the pain.

“Fuvk Sarona!”

She let him go and rushed to her kitchen while he bended grunting. She walked back with doom and sprayed it on his face that he screamed even more, his eyes burning. Sasa opened her handbag then took out her phone calling the police.

Later that morning, Sasa looked at the police officer who were standing with Thabo. The police looked at Thabo.

“Mister, since you two broke up yesterday, what were you doing in her house?”

“Sarona and I have been together for five months, yesterday was the first time we have ever broken up .I went to her house to try and solve things. I lost it when she came in the morning smelling like man ebile with a hickey. I was hurt because she didn’t even waste time before she opened her legs for another man..

but I apologize for my behavior. That’s not how I was raised. I have never hit her or tried it before. It was a mistake, ke kopa maitswarelo.

(Please forgive me.)”

The police officer turned to Sasa. “He’s apologizing. Sometimes break ups are hard to accept. People act out of character. I am not saying forgive him.. but sometimes people turn into..-“

“I will forgive him only if he gives me back my house keys, never comes to my house, never calls me or text me and never talk to me. From here I am going to the hospital to get a doctor’s report for the slap and strangling.”

The police officer turned to Thabo who

nodded sadly.

“I made a mistake babe.. one that I regret wholeheartedly. I never meant to sleep with her. She caught me off guard.. I tried resisting… I am sorry. Even that pregnancy…I-“

“You didn’t mean to sleep with your baby mama giving her a second baby? Do you think I am that stupid? You have probably been having an affair with her, but you know what? I don’t care anymore.. Stay away from me! Next time I will cut those balls. Nxla!”

A while later Sasa walked out. She got in her car and drove headed to the hospital while calling her friend.

“Sasa…”

“Thabo tried hitting me.”

“What?”

“But I fought back..I found him in my house and then he started calling me names and what not. I knew it was going downhill from there but thamma I was ready.”

Miso laughed. “You have always been Rambo!”

“I had to. Tota I am so happy I am done with that one. I don’t even know how we lasted five months.”

“You should be happy that at least you pushed five months Sasa, kana most of your relationships never pass a month.”

They both laughed.

“Because they are not with the rightful people. Tota Miso I will not settle friend, gape what’s a relationship? That’s just limiting myself. I am 24, I still have a long way to go.”

“Rambo!”

Sasa laughed too. “It’s necessary. I am going to hospital to get a report then go home.”

“Mma my car is not starting. Yesterday after you disappeared leaving me with that skeleton man, I had to get a cab. Can I get a lift to work.”

“Yah sure.”

“Thanks.”

At the hospital, Sasa walked knocked at the doctor’s office written ‘Dr. M. Teko’. She knocked again then opened walking in. She looked at the empty office then turned wondering if she was lost.

Just then the doctor walked in putting on his white coat. Sasa froze looking at him, he looked up then paused before smiling putting his stethoscope around his neck.

Sasa sighed, it had been that charming smile that had captured her last night that completed his good looks though honestly the height and the walk had been one of the first things she had noticed. Then he had looked at her… Sasa blinked.

“God works in mysterious ways… after you disappeared on me I bump into you still…” Sasa looked at him as her mood fell to the negatives.

“Why did you disappear on me?”

“Because I don’t know you. And you and I were done. How’s your wife? I hope she wasn’t worked about where you slept last night.”

He smiled. “That dress is hot. Can’t help but imagine you on that table bended over in it.”

Sasa swallowed staring at him. Of cause the bastard knew he was good between the sheets!

“I want a different doctor.”

“I am sorry. I’m Dr. Mando Teko…you can take a seat Sasa.”

She looked at the time on the clock on his wall then sat down. Mando smirked sitting on his chair.

“How can I help you?”

“I had a fight with an ex in the morning. He slapped and strangled me. I want a report.”

Mando frowned. “He what?”

“I want a report.”

*

Mando finished up then applied her with a cream.

“That should help it.” He got even closer looking at her. “It was nice meeting you Sasa… seems Gaborone is a small place.”

Sasa swallowed as he brushed his lips against hers, he kissed her. Sasa pushed him as someone knocked on the door then jumped off the bed.

“Thank you Dr. Teko..”

She opened the door and paused at an elegant woman by the door dressed in a beautiful black dress and long heels, her hair nicely done. The woman smiled at her, Sasa smiled back.

“Dumelang..”

“Hi.”

Sasa walked out then turned watching as the woman walked in Mando’s office then kissed him. Sasa laughed and hurried to her car shaking her head. She

started her car and drove home.

In Mando’s office, Ruby looked at him suspiciously.

“Who was that?”

“My patient.”

She looked at him. “A patient dressed like that?”

Mando laughed. “I don’t control how my patients choose to dress babe.”

“I am just asking…”

“She came dressed like that.”

Ruby nodded then smiled. “I hate how you get overworked here.”

“My paycheck is worth it.” He kissed her.

Ruby smiled. “I missed you yesterday.”

She walked to the door and locked it. Mando looked at her knowing if he didn’t produce as much semen it was going to end in a fight.

He wrapped his arms around her. “I will be done in a few hours then I will go home. Today you will find me waiting for you.” He smiled. “I will make it up to you. I promise. I love you. There’s a patient coming in right now and I have to do my rounds.”

Ruby looked at him.. “Ok. I will see you tonight then.”

He kissed her one last time then released her. Ruby walked out. Mando sat down and called the reception to ask for Sasa’s details.

***

At Miso’s house two hours later, Miso walked out of her house in her white dress and heels. She fixed her watch getting in Sasa’s Audi.

“I am late.”

Sasa drove off. “Sorry. Turned out my married one night stand was my doctor. And I met his wife.”

Miso gasped. “Hey wena!”

“I am not the married one. He seems like a professional play boy. This is what happens when you marry a play boy.”

Miso laughed. “You are going to make us all doubt our men mma. I was talking to Kabo in the morning. He’s working on this transfer to Gabs. Waitse mma I am so happy. Long distance relationship is not for everyone.”

“I would have never survived if I were you.”

“Kana wena you live a fast life. You will meet someone one day who will tame you down.”

They laughed as Sasa drove to Princess Marina Hospital.

She parked then Miso smiled. “Thank you.”

They hugged then Miso stepped out of the car and hurried inside the hospital while Sasa drove off headed to work.

She stopped at a traffic light and found herself thinking about Mando. She paused then rolled down the windows playing some music headed to work. She hummed to the beat then sang along to Britney Spears.

“Gimme gimme more…” The red Audi sped through the traffic light that had just turned red.
