THANDILE POV
Aviwe and I haven't spoken for two days now. I'm still logged off from her accounts and I've seen she's been online and active these past two days.
I decided to give her space cause I feel if I continue to push her she'll be annoyed and leave. All I know is I tried and now the ball is in her court.
I go downstairs to make myself lunch and I hear a voice that sounds like Aviwe's in the TV room. I go in and she is talking to my parents.
She looks my direction. "Okay ke. Let me go." She says to my parents.
She comes to me. "I need us to talk." She says then gets out. I follow behind her as she goes to the patio. She closes the door cause it's cold then sits down on a single chair and I sit on a couch next to it.
"How are you?" I ask.
"I'm good. I'm good. You?" She asks.
"To be honest I'm not okay." I say shaking my head.
"Yeah, and that's why I'm here." She says then leans forward and puts her elbows on her legs.
"Okay Imma get straight to it. Thandile I really think we need to take a break." She says and I just felt my heart break from that.
I didn't respond, my heart was beating out of my chest and I was speechless in any case. "I think, eh well feel we need some time to ourselves to think. I doubt we been moving too fast, but at the moment I'm not here." She says.
She licks her lips and lets out a sigh. "I'm not saying we should end things, but clearly you need to get over things and I need to sort myself out." She says then stands up and comes to me but I stay sitting and I don't look at her.
She puts her hand on my shoulder and I start feeling a pain in my stomach. "Let's work on ourselves separately, then we'll find our way back to one another." She says then I shake my head.
I wanted to say something but my throat felt dry and I could feel tears building up. "And it's a break. We still together. I'm not gonna go out and sleep with other people. But there are things I need to do, people I need to speak to, cause I've anyways realised I have a tendency of cutting people I love off everytime I'm in a relationship." She says.
"Aviwe.. I need you to know.. I did not say.. I didn't say what I said that day.. cause I was thinking of your past." I say.
"Its okay. I'm just saying I'm not here anymore and I'm afraid that if I don't do this, our relationship will end in tears." She says then tears started falling.
"I love you." She says then she puts her hand under my chin and lifts my head making me look at her. She comes down to my level then uses her thumb to wipe my tears.
"Baby." She calls me. I still don't feel like looking at her but she holding me so I don't have much of a choice.
"I love you." She says. I don't say anything then she stands up.
"I love you." She says then she leaves. I break down and bury my face in my hands. My mother came soon after Aviwe left then she sat next to and pulled me to her.
I don't wanna lie, I never thought Aviwe would do this to me, but I guess I was wrong. It's crazy.
AVIWE'S POV
I was on my way to Kamva's crib. We were meeting there today just to chill, cause she was bored and her rents are gone and Olwethu is busy, so we were her last resort.
I arrived then I got out and I knocked and waited for her. "Awww. The sbanxa of the group." She says when she opens the door.
(Sbanxa - idiot)
