CHRISTOPHER
I know when Sbanisenkosi starts blowing up my phone like this, something happened. She keeps calling and hanging up the phone before I even answer, she's saying stuff I don't understand. I'm already driving to her apartment and I really hope that girl isn't the reason Sbani's acting this way. She's been working on herself way too much to start over again.
I arrive at the apartment shortly after, to even think I still have to go and work for the night but my woman is not okay. I park my car and jump off, I walk to the door and use my spare key to open.
“Sbani?” I call out her name walking to the bedroom, I find her just as she's walking out of the bathroom. I think she was taking a shower.
“What happened? I had to leave work and come here.” I say, she glares at me and shakes her head.
“Luyanda tried to get me and Mbali to talk.” She says, I frown a bit.
“Why?” I ask her, she sighs and sits down on the bed. She pulls the towel up a bit more because "my" boobs are growing.
“She's trying to mend our relationship and to be honest, I'm not ready to have that type of conversation with Mbali. Not right now, I'm still very hurt about her doings and because we exchanged harsh words, it won't be easy to fix anything right now.” She says.
“Or maybe your friend needs to stop meddling in other people's businesses. She cannot expevt you to forgive Mbali after the shìt she did. It's too early and you're still working on yourself. She can't push you 10 steps back..” I say, those girls annoy the fùck out of me. I really wish Sbani could spend less time with them..
“So the texts and the calle?” I ask her, she shrugs.
“I was getting angry at some point and I didn't want to take out my anger on alcohol or on anyone so I just texted you and called you That's how I calmed down.” She says.
“You had me worried.” I say.
“I'm sorry, I just didn't want to get extremely upset. I can only lash out my anger on you because you don't retaliate. You're very easy to confide in, you listen to me and you're patient with me.” Sbe says, warming my heart up.
“I'm glad you know that, Alexander was wondering if we can go star-gazing tonight.” I say.
“Stargazing? I'd love that. I need the time out honestly..” She says.
“Let me just make you something to quickly eat before I head back to work and then..we'll come pick you up so we can go. Bring something warm..” I say.
“No you must bring me something warm to wear, i don't have anything to wear.” She says, that time her closet is full of jackets, hoddies and sweaters.
“Okay.” I say grabbing her neck and planting a kiss on her lips. She's very grumpy, she's even clingy.
“Do you have to go back to work?” She asks getting up and wrapping her arms around my waist.
“I have to.” I say, she shakes her head.

“Don't go, I don't want you to go. I need you here with me..” She says, I heave a sigh and wrap my arms around her head because I'm way taller than her.
“I'm coming back nje?” I ask her, she sighs and lets go of me.
“Fine, I don't want any food. Just white bread and Nutella please..” She says, I nod and kiss her forehead.
“I love you...” Sbe says, why does she suddenly sound emotional?
“Baby i love you too.” I say kissing her forehead again.
“You can go..” She says, I nod and walk out of the bedroom. I head to the kitchen and make her the sandwich she asked for. Once I'm done, I place it the plate on the wooden tray and pour her some cranberry juice. I walk to the bedroom and find her all dressed up in her pajamas..
“Here you go..” I say handing her the tray, she sits on the bed and crosses her legs. She's so cute.
“So 10pm we'll come over and pick you up yeah?” I ask her, she nods.
“Don't forget to bring me something warm to wear.” She says.
“I won't..” I lean over and kiss her forehead.
“I'm leaving and I miss you already.” I say, she smiles.
“Yeah right..” She says, I kiss her one last time and walk out of her bedroom. I feel like I'm working this hard just for our future together. She's very much included in my future plans.

SBANISENKOSI
So Christopher decides to give me only 2 slices? how when I'm so hungry? what is wrong with this man! he wants me to starve. I get up and walk to the kitchen, I take out 4 slices of bread from its plastic. I also grab the Nutella along with some bananas.
I spread the Nutella on my bread and slice the bananas on the bread. Now this is gonna be good. I grab the other two slices and take a huge bite, the bite is heavenly. I'm angry at that one for giving me only 2 slices! I take out some cranberry juice and drink from the bottle. I'm just glad I'll be getting some fresh air tonight doing what my man who doesn't listen loves.
Time passes by and I don't know how many times I've eaten but I've not stopped since Christopher left. It's evening now and I'm getting ready for the star gazing thing. They're gonna be here anytime soon..
I'm just in simple grey sweatpants and a black crop top. Who would've thought that I'd gave umkhaba one day. Eh.. I put on my sneakers and wear my grey bemnie. I grab my phone and walk out of the bedroom because I just heard them entering.
“Atleast you're ready, I thought you weren't ready..” Nkanyiso says throwing himself on my couch.
“Where's my man?” I ask him.
“He's coming, he just forgot your hoddie in the car he went to get that.” He says, I nod and walk to the fridge.

“Want anything to drink?” I ask him.
“Cold water will be fine for now, thanks.” He says, I pour the water for him and go give it to him. Christopher enters just as I'm about to make myself some smoothie.
“Hey..” He says, i nod.
“Hello...” I say taking out the strawberries and some ice cream. He walks past me and places the hoddie on the couch.
“Just give me 5 minutes then we'll go.” I say pouring the ice cream in the blender along with the rinsed strawberries.
“Don't you have any rich gorgeous cousin for me? I feel like a third wheel right now.” Nkanyiso says, I laugh.
“My cousins are very decent, you won't manage.” I say turning on the blender, once its done. I pout the mixture in my Stanley cup.
“Okay we can go keh..” I say closing the cup and grabbing MY hoddie. I put it on and grab the cup.
“Let's go..” I say, the three of us walk out of the apartment head to the parking lot. It's very cold. I jump in the backseat while they're in the front.
“It's hot in here what the fùck? haai..” I say leaning forward and turning off the heater. They're insane..
“You have problems wena, it's literally freezing out here.” Nkanyiso says, I shake my head.
“Then why am i sweating? you're the one who has problems.” I say, he shakes his head and Nkanyezi drives off.
“Okay, Nkanyezi..tell me why did you give me only 2 slices of bread when you left?” i ask him, eh I almost forgot.
“What do you mean? you eat two slices mos.” He says.
“I was starving! i was sooo hungry and you gave me only 2 slices? you don't care about me wena! you can watch me starve to death.” I say sitting back and folding my arms.
