WRITTEN IN THE STARS

MBALI
Sbanisenkosi has lost her marbles for real. She's busy acting like she's the saint between the three of us kanti she's the worst. I can't even tell anyone stuff that she did. She's the one who lured us into this life.
“I think you were a little bit unfair when you brought up the whole sleeping with men thing when you see how hard she has worked to leave that life and how she's trying to settle down with Christopher.” Luyanda says, she must not bore me this one. Sbanisenkosi likes acting as if she's better just because she build a company from scratch and she makes more money than us.
“Are you serious right now? If she can bring up my past why can't I? Sbanisenkosi must know that she's not the boss of me.” I say.
“But she's allowed to be angry, you slept with her brother even when she warned you against him. You seduced him and as much as Luzuko is wrong, you're also weong.” She says, I roll my eyes.
“So I shouldn't do what I want to do? I'm 23 years old and I'm old enough to make my own decisions.” I say.
“It's insane how you're okay with ending your friendship, we've been friends since we were kids Mbali come on.” She says.
“At some point, friendships breaks and I guess these are one of the points. Sbani is the hoe she keeps saying I am and i actually feel sorry for that guy she's with because girl is a loose panty. ” I say.
“You actually haven't realized how much Sbani loves Chris and how much Chris loves Sbani. Stop focusing on the negative and fix this Mbali, for my sake atleast.” She says, I doubt it's gonna get fixed. The slaps and kicks I got told me it's over. There's nothing to be restored here.

SBANISENKOSI
It's the following day and it's time to go spend some time with my man alone. He was right, I need the break. My head is banging and I'm stressed out, I need a break from reality.
“Bring your suitcase so I can fold the clothes in there properly, I know you threw them nje.” I say, he nods and walks out of the bedroom. I already notified my parents that I'm not gonna be avalaible for the next few days.
“Here..” He says handing me his suitcase, I take out the clothes he packed to pack them properly.
“Please be quick because we need to stop by the grocery store. I need to cook for you.” He says.
“I actually feel so bad that I can't cook for you.” I say, he shakes his head.
“It's okay, besides..I take cooking for your partner as a very important and romantic task for me. I don't mind baby..” He says, my heart...
Once I finish packing his stuff, I change into my boyfriend jean and a black crop top. I then put on my sneakers.

“We can bounce, I'm ready..” I say, he grabs the suitcases and rolls them out. I follow him and grab the smoothie he made for me. We walk out of the house and head to the car.
I jump in while he packs the suitcases. I stare at my phone, I expect too much from people and here I am expecting so much from Mbali. I think that was the end of our friendship yeah? mhm. My man jumps in the driver's seat and starts the engine.
“When we're back from the store, please turn on the live GPS location because I'm not familiar with the place we're going at.” He says, I nod.
He drives out heading to the shops, Luyanda just asked me if I'm okay and yes. I said I'm okay because I'm blocking reality as of today because it's getting too much for me.
We arrive at the shops and jump off the car, I grab the trolley and push it since I don't know what's being cooked. I'm clueless guyss, I'm clueless.
“Will you push it or should I?” He asks and I shake my head.
“I don't know what you're buying so I'll push..” I say, he nods and I follow him as he walks through the shelves. He grabs some spices, I'm sorry but I can't pronounce the names.
“You eat spicy food?” He asks, I shake my head.
“Nop..” I say, he nods and skips the spicy ones. I glare at the woman who's staring at him while he takes the salts.
“Sorry ma'am, are you staring at him or at the spices?” I ask her, she glares at me.
“Why is he the one shopping? can't you do it?” She asks, I frown. This lady with a dusty weave is asking me shìt.
“Why don't you iust say you want him and he's hot instead of fùcking with me? because ngiya trapa mina sisi.” I say.
“Let's go..” He says pulling me away, I hold up my hand attempting to slap her but Chris pulls me away again.
“Don't do that, this is a public space.” He says, I click my tongue and we walk away. He shakes his head.

“Now you want to hit strangers? are you okay in your mind?” He asks, I frown at him.
“You love people drooling over you but I don't, keep that in mind.” I say.
“But I said I don't want you to fight another woman for me, that's very low.” He says.
“She's not even a woman, she's a girl. I wasn't fighting her, i was just scaring her.” I say.
“Did you hit people when you were younger? you're very violent.” He says, my ex-best friend and Luyanda can really testify for me. I used to fight each and every day because of people disrespticng me or provoking me.
“I did..even you I'll hit you if you annoy me.” I say, he chuckles
“You can't hit anyone you love baby, that's not you showing love.” He says, I nod and take deep breaths. Please don't get on my nerves because if you, I might scratch you.
“Baby, pleaee get that cake for me. I love it so much..” I say glaring at the chocolate and caramel cake.
“Okay, I'll also take the vannilla cake because I love vanilla since I'm a vanilla ” He says, I cringe.
“Why did you just say that? you're making me cringe.” I say, he laughs and grabs the cakes.
“Take two, I'm ovulating and my cravings are going insane. I need the jelly and custard as well.” I say, he nods.
