MBALI

I'm driving to varsity since I have a glass but now I'm at the gas station to fill up my tank since it was low. Petrol is expensive these days hey, like..I can't even deal. But because I have a side job, I can maintain myself.

“Also can I have a powerade with some lays as well?” I ask the man who's tapping my card, he nods and walks off. I sigh and sit back, yesterday was crazy but we enjoyed our time. Groove is the place to be people! God amazes you in ways you can't even describe, here is Luzuko's car parking just besides mine.

I chuckle a bit and jump off the car, I fix my skirt and walk to the other side. I knock on the window and he glares at me then rolls down the window.

“Mbali, hey..” He says jumping off the car looking like the snack he is. He looks ready to be given a strong blowjob this one.

“Luzuko, how are you?” I ask him as he side hugs me. Sbani's brother smells like everything's gonna be okay.

“I'm good thanks. It's great to see you.” He says, of course it's great to see me bad boy.

“I see Western Cape has been treating you well. You look so good hey.” I say, he chuckles.

“Because of all the work, how's school?” He asks, I sigh.

“School will always be school, I'm just glad that this is my last year honestly.” I say, he nods.

“As long as you keep pushing, listen I have to go.” He says, no I have to make up some plan to keep him close.

“Wait, how about we grab coffee later? I mean I haven't seen you for like months and I think it's only right if we grab something to drink.” I say, he raises his eyebrow.

“Uhm..I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, Sbanisenkosi isn't with us so it's gonna be weird.” He says.

“Oh come on, it's just a brother and sister kinda date, nothing major. I mean, I do take you like a brother after all.” I say, hope he agrees.

“Are you sure? I don't want to mislead you Mbali. You're a child and I'm soon gonna start preparing for my wedding.” He says.

“Yes I'm sure, 5pm sharp.” I say, he sighs and eventually nods. Great!! I say goodbye to him and walk back to my car. I jump in and drive off, today is gonna be one of my favourite days because my first favourite day was when I saw him and immediately had this huge crush on him.

CHRISTOPHER

I had the most beautiful night ever and I don't think I've ever enjoyed sleeping like that. Waking up to a beautiful face is everything I think I've been missing from my life. I can't promise Sbanisenkosi heaven and earth but I can try because I'm also not perfect and I make mistakes..

She's preparing for work right now and I decided to make her some breakfast before she leaves. I just wish I had time to get her something to wear so she doesn't have to repeat the dress.

“I'm done..” She says walking off the stairs with her handbag, I glare at her. You can just see that God was taking his time here, he was flexing his creativity skills.

“Take a seat, I'll serve breakfast now now.” I say, she nods and sits down focusing on her phone.

“I'm gonna need to be at the office at 12am..” She says, we still have a lot of time. She can eat and then I can eat her, jokes. I'm kidding..

“We'll get there on time, it's stil 8am and I drive very fastly so relax.” I say, she shakes her head.

“I don't want you to drive fast and next thing we're in an accident. Even if I get late, I'm the boss.” She says, I chuckle.

“That's true, but you also need to be professional. When are you gonna do my house by the way?” I ask her.

“Mr Biyela, you need to book an appointment if you want us to discuss such. Otherwise, I won't do anything. I'm very expensive, you see how huge your parents' house is? I'm charging them a fortune.” She says.

“I'm the one who's paying, not them.” I say, she smiles. I know she's about to say she's gonna charge a much higher fortune.

“I'm thinking of increasing the price, you won't mind right? I mean you're rich and stuff.” She says, I chuckle..this has to be the most interesting human being I've ever come across.

“I won't mind as long as the money goes to you.” I say dishing up her plate that has some bacon and beef burger with fries and lemon herb wings. I place the plate on a wooden tray along with some juice since it was said that she doesn't love fizzy drinks. I walk over to the table and place the tray infront of her. She smiles beautifully.

“You made this? for me?” She asks smiling, this must be most beautiful face I've ever seen yeah?

“Yeah, I did. I think I was a chef in my past life hence I'm this good with cooking.” I say, she giggles.

“This looks and smells good, thank you so much. Shem I'm going to gain weight here.” She says as I lean over and plant a kiss on her lips.

“You're welcome..” I say walking back to the kitchen and cleaning up, I grab my own plates and head to sit besides her.

“I don't know how to cook, at all.” She says biting her wing, I glare at her and raise my eyebrow.

“Are you serious?” I ask her, she sighs and nods.

“I've been treated as a golden egg at home since I'm the only girl and my mother always did the cooking while I was cleaning.” She says, eh?

“Are you judging me?” She asks.

“I'm not, I'm just surprised nje. It's not a problem for me because I, I'll feed you and cook for you whenever you're with me.” I say kissing her cheek, she smells so good.

“You must teach me how to cook though, I'm 25. I live alone and I can't depend on takeaways forever.” She says, I nod.

“I'll teach you, worry not.” I say, she nods and continues eating. Once she's done eating, I take the food she left since she said she was fool and I place it in the oven. I made some lunchbox for her so she doesn't get hungry.

“I made this for you, so you don't get hungry at work.” I say giving her the lunchbox and she smiles widely.

“Oh God, my heart is extremely full. I literally wasn't expecting this..” She says taking the lunchbox.

“Thank you.” She says side hugging me. She's short, or maybe I'm just too tall. I don't know. We walk out of the door only to find.. God no..

“Oh hey Chris..” This fool says, I clench my jaws. Someone tell me why Pearl is on my door step wearing a coat with high boots? I know she has a lingerie under the coat but..I'm not really interested.

“And who is this? is she your one night stand also or one of your side chicks?” She asks, I blink once and Sbani has already slapped her. Oh God this cannot be happening right now tuu..

“Don't disrespect me.” She says walking past her, where is she going? I glare at Pearl.

“I'll deal with you wena, fokof.” I say closing the door and locking it. I walk off leaving her there as I run after Sbani.

“Sbani wait..” I say calling out to her, she's angry..

“I'm catching an uber, don't stress yourself. You can go back to that ugly thing of yours.” She says scrolling down her phone.

“I thought I could do this but I honestly can't..” She says as I stop on my tracks, what?
