CHAPTER 28

YIKHOKONKE

The alarm rings and I quickly switch it off. The sun is shining brightly through the curtains turning the whole room orange. I don't even remember when I fell asleep but it was after midnight. I turn rubbing my eyes and Nkosi is sleeping peacefully besides me.

I place my head in his chest and wrap my arm and leg on him. He holds me slowly like I'm something fragile,
Me: Good morning, babe.

He perks my forehead.

Me: When did you come back?
Nkosana: 3 AM.
Me: You work late but I don't understand, why.
Nkosana: You know work can be demanding sometimes.
Me: You make cars , why do you work late? Which cars do you make at night?
