"Beautiful." I say then she smiles and kisses me.
"But you deadass matching with me right now." I say then she laughs.
"Wasn't planning on it." She says then I shake my head.
"I don't know how we'll explain us being together in public if we see a teacher we know but okay." I say then she laughs.
"Ready?" I ask then she grabs her purse.
"Let's go." She says then we get out of the house and make our way to the car.
I open the door for her then she looks at me. "What?" I ask.
"Whose car is this?" She asks.
"Dad's, why?" I ask.
"Cause, you only driving expensive cars." She says then I laugh.
"Nah, nah, you thought I stole them. I'm not a thief." I say.
"Never said you were, just two good cars. Y'all have money at home." She asks, but also states.
"I guess you could say that." I say shrugging my shoulders.
"You don't like showing off that you guys have money?" She asks.
"Nah, anyways I'm not the one with the money, it's my rents. I'm just a child with parents who have money. Why flex with cash that doesn't belong to you." I say then she nods her head and gets in the car.
I go to the drivers sit and start the car.
"That's so mature." She says then I laugh as I reverse out of the parking.
I lower down the radio. "Yah, like I despise people who flex with their rents cash. It's distasteful." I say then she laughs.
"So are you doing your own thing?" She asks.
"Yeah, my side hustles is not quite ideal, but I get paid, so it's worth it." I say. She looks at me.
"What do you do?" She asks.
"I have something like a car wash, whereas when someone wants their car washed and is lazy to go to the carwash, they call me, and we also have a huge yard so my rents let people come bring their cars too then I call them when I'm done... I also play tennis. So like I'm in an academy. We have matches against other people in other academies. You win, you get paid... Kinda like real tennis, just not professional yet. I get gigs to go take pics, wedding pictures, family pictures, literally anything. I have a degree in photography." I say then she looks at me.
"You get time to do all that?" She asks then I laugh and nod my head.
"I try, other people I disappoint, but khe, it's part of business so..." I say.
"So you feel secure with all that or you planning on doing more?" She asks.
"Well I was, my ex and I were planning on starting a YouTube channel as a couple, but khe life happened and we broke up, so yah." I say thinking about Lerato.
"How long were you guys together?" She asks.
"It was gonna be our forth year this year, so three years and three months and a few days." I say then she looks at me.
"You remember all that?" She asks then I shrug my shoulders.
"I don't want to, but it's only been a few days so I won't forget so easily... But you know that Ne-Yo song So Sick?" I ask then she nods her head.
"It says, "Gotta fix that calender I had, that's on July 15, cause since there's no more you there's no more anniversary"?" I ask.
"Oh, yah." She says then I nod my head.
"That's what I'm working on right now. Just moving on from her and focusing on myself." I say then she looks at me.
"What happened?" She asks.
"Our relationship was wayyy too toxic." I say.
"How?" She asks.
"Cheating, fucking around, basically trying to make things work out in the end knowing very well they can't." I say.
"So it wasn't working out?" She asks.
"Yeah, but through everything we put each other through, and she put me through, I don't hate her." I say shaking my head.
"How. Like I could never be cool like that with an ex." She says.
"It depends on how the fallout was and how the relationship was. Mina, I treat umntu wam well hence I don't mind being friends with an ex, fuck buddy and so on." I say.

"Hayi sham, you might be more mature than I am." She says then I laugh.
"Maybe I am." I say shrugging my shoulders then she playfully pushes me and I laugh.
"Yeah, but I don't wanna talk about her. I'm taking you out and we talking about my ex. That's downright disrespectful." I say then she laughs.
"I asked." She says.
"Still not right." I say.
"Okay, what do you wanna do?" She asks.
"Imma teach you some amazing songs. You most probably know all of them, but just incase you don't... You will learn." I say then she nods her head.
"Okay, play, let's go." She says then I grab my phone and shuffle play my Old Skool RnB/Soul Music playlist.
Karyn Whites Thinking Bout Love plays and I turn up the volume. Love this song.
