Female besties really do this to test the waters. I know this for a FACT! https://twitter.com/nthabii_lit/status/1318959314938322945

If you know me, you’ll know that I had a female best friend around 2018. We lived on Perth Road. Remember?

If I’m not with the gents, I’m definitely with her. We did EVERYTHING together! When I say everything? I mean EVERYTHING!

The gents thought there was something fishy happening between her and I, but nothing. Nothing of that sort. She eventually hooked me up with her mate.

So here’s the twist. She hooks me up with the mate, then she tries to brick the mate. This was the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed.

Guys, when I say we did everything? I mean.. grocery shopping, movies, lunch and stuff. We even cooked together. I wouldn’t have take-aways without considering her, ever!

At some point we started showering together. I mean, this was my female best friend. I trusted her, she trusted me.. we were REALLY CLOSE!

I remember there was a time I went to an interview and she was going home. She cooked before she went home, dished up and she put the food in the fridge with a little note.

I’d always wonder how, every time she hooked me up with a friend of hers, they’d eventually clash and not speak anymore.

Then she got a boyfriend. As a gent, I understand how I’d feel if my hun had a male bestie. So I kinda distanced myself. She was my neighbor, so I avoided spending time with her so she could spend time with her mans.

His name was B, let’s call him that. We all lived in Westdene, and he was the first boyfriend. They were chilled, but she’d tell me everything about him, including his shortfalls.

The dude and I were cool, honestly. I remember we once walked to kaSatane in Westbury and we spoke. He asked me about his hun and I told him she’s perfect. I remember that night very well. We drank Black Label.

I mentioned she’s my neighbour, right? So eventually her and the boyfriend had sex.. that’s where things would get weird. I’d hear them.

Then @bandile_banks would ask me: Boy? What’s going on with you and ..

And I’d always tell him that things were strictly platonic.

I remember bumping into @Nkosana_KN at Campus Square. I was with her and he was like “Nah, boy. This is crazy. You guys are too close to be friends”

Her first relationship failed, cool. Then she got another gent! Their relationship seemed interesting, but according to her, the homie would always ask about me.

Eventually the broke up, and that’s when things got worse between her and I. We were both single, so we were more free around each other.

We continued doing things together, and that only brought us closer. We had our cards linked to our banking apps, so if she had to Uber from somewhere, she could just Uber or buy food for herself.

Lol, she was definitely a good person. We had our mishaps here and there, but she was a good person. Then for change of environment, she’d study at my place.

We were watching a movie one day and there was a kissing scene. Oh, boy.

We usually watched movies in the dark, so that complicated things abit. That particular scene was hectic! We kept looking at each other... I slipped in a couple of minutes..

I can’t remember the movie, but she whipped out her phone and we got really close to each other.

We eventually got touchy with one another and I sucked her boob.

Got my act back together, quick. I apologized and she told me not to. But the jive? Things were never the same afterwards. This was a couple of days before my birthday btw. She bought me a couple of gifts and my favorite cake. We moved in together, on my birthday.

Now things got even more hectic. We were literally in each other’s spaces, ALWAYS! If she went the the day house, she’d come back and we’d chilled. Sundays were always the best. We go to campus square, but whatever we need, grab breakfast.. come back, chill and cook.

After cooking, we always had something to do. We’d start drinking, rolling and preparing ourselves. We’d even have a skin care routine. I remember @Chums_VL bumping into us and she was carrying a HUGE bag, remember?

So since we moved in together, we shared a bed. We moved in together around May 2018, towards the end of the month. See? Not even I could wrap my head around the situation, but we literally shared a bed. Cuddles? Secured.

On the 6th of June in 2018... I remember that day very well. I was writing Law of Contract. At around 3am, the cuddling got intense. We somehow escaped that temptation and got it together. At around 06:00AM? Well... let’s just say life was never the same afterwards, ever.

Ever since that day, nothing was the same between her and I. Having female best friends is really cool, I won’t lie. But the minute feelings get involved? It’s a wrap like Mochachos. Goodnight guys.

I’ll leave this video here. This was on the 28th of March 2018. We were at Woolworths and we came across baby clothes. If you recognize the voice, good for you.
