Things between Mbali and myself have been roses. She's happy, I'm happy. School is going good for us both, we study together and do quite a lot of things together and funny enough I don't get bored or tired of her presence. She's a breath of fresh air in my life, one I never knew I needed. I see Sebe around and things haven't been the same again since our last conversation. I've tried to be her friend but she's pushed me away and I decided to respect her space, Mbali says she's weird towards her too and unlike me Mbali doesn't want to take it lying down... Women.

"Is it me or you gaining weight?"

I ask her while she pulls up her jeggings getting ready for class

"I've gained a little, my jeans don't fit like before"

I chuckle at her pouting

"You still look sexy and cute to me"

I say wrapping my arms around her and kissing her neck, she moans softly

"You gonna make me miss class"

I nibble on her ear

"We don't want that"

I say moving back leaving her panting

"You such a tease! I'm gonna get you shame!"

I smile naughtily

"Is that a promise?"

She gives me that smiles of her's that always sends me over the edge.

"Maybe"

She says and good Lord the things I'm thinking of doing to her right now. If only we weren't going to class

"I know that look. We going to be late"

She says grabbing her bag

"Fine. Let's go then"

I say sulking. I walk her to her class over light conversation and kiss her goodbye on the forehead then head to my class.

After class she texts me telling me she's got a group project and we'll meet later or tomorrow. I decide to go study in the library, next week is test week already. I sit alone and write some notes based on the textbooks I don't have. By the time I leave the library its around 7pm, been there since 4pm.

I'm about to open my door when my phone rings, its my mother

"For once I'd prefer you calling me to ask about school instead of telling me about dreams and creepy stuff"

I say walking inside the flat

"I wish. How are you? How's school?"

She asks and I just laugh

"It's Ok mom, no need to pretend"

She chuckles

"Given the opportunity to choose your relationship with Mbali and someone important's life. What would you choose?"

I sit down, I hear her but I'm not understanding her

"Who's so important that I'd risk my relationship?"

I ask

"Gugu, if you were held at gun point. What would you choose?"

I shrug

"I don't know"

I say defeated

"Your relationship or Mbali's life"
