"What's her name?"
Mom asks
"Milisuthando"
I say
"We were waiting for you to give her a first name"
Mbali says and mom smiles widely
"You want me to name her?"
Mbali nods
"Nothing with Mbali or entle"
I say and they all laugh
"Kutsho umamakhe"
I say pointing at Mbali with my eyes
"Isemihle. Isemihle Milisuthando Cirha Ncenjane"
She says and I swear I'm content. Mbali yawns
"You should sleep now"
I say and she nods. Sebe walks in with dad
"Bye Sebe, and thank you so so much"
Mbali says yawning with her arms open, Sebe giggles and hugs her
"You don't have to thank me"
Sebe says being modest. A nurse comes in to take her. I don't want to but she has to go. Mbali is already sleeping.
We all walk out over light conversation, I drive to school
"You sleeping at my place mos?"
I ask brushing her thigh
"Is that even a question?"
I chuckle
"Did you ever get to eat or?"
She nods, I know her. She didn't call anyone
"Sebentile"
I say in a stern voice
"Mmh?"
She says looking outside
"Where do you want to eat?"
She shrugs, I sigh defeated
"Call mom and ask her where they are"
She takes my phone and dials mom's number, it rings for a while before mom answers
"Hey baby"
She says
"Hey Mah, Gugu wanted to know where you guys are"
Mom chuckles
"We at Spur, come join us"
She says ever so sweet
"We coming"
I say and we say our goodbyes. I pull her hand and kiss it
"And then?"
I shrug
"Nothing. Just thank you for being you that's all"
She blushes
"You crazy"
She says
"I love you Ok?"
She nods
"I know"
We get to Spur and park outside. We join my parents and order while going through Ise's pictures
"She looks nothing like me"
I say after Sebe says she looks like both Mbali and I
"She has your eyes kodwa"
