Chapter Forty.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."  x MAYA ANGELOU.

"Thank you Nandi," I smile at the delicious food in front of me. My mouth already watering at the sight of the chicken and mayo sandwich with a fresh fruit salad side. I felt so catered to, never mind the joy and satisfied feeling I had radiating all over my body.

You know its one thing being told that you're glowing but then to actually feel it yourself was a totally different experience.

Nothing could stop me today.

Not even that weird jealous feeling I had earlier upstairs. It was irrational. She is his PA and that's it. If he was hiding anything from me he wouldn't let me see it.

"Looks scrumptious." Bangi says.
"Do enjoy Your Royal Highnesses," she bows and leaves us alone to eat.

"Can we pray already, I'm ravenous. Your baby already wants me to devour everything."

I hear him chuckle before he reaches out for my hand. A quick kiss on the back of it before his eyes get shut. I shut mine too, blessing the breakfast in front of us and even thanking Him for this marvelous morning.

"Amen."
"Amen," he followed after and we both dug in.

I'm attacking the sandwich, eating it like I've never eaten a chicken and mayo sandwich before. It even tasted scrumptious, better than anything I've ever had in my 26 years of life.

"You're eating that like it tastes way better than mine."
I frown and open my eyes.

Yes, I can't believe I even had them closed. "Maybe it is." I shrug.

He says nothing but reaches towards to the corner of my lips. "Mayo..." The finger goes into his mouth, and comes out clean. Uh...okay. I clear my throat after pressing my thighs together. "...you okay?"

I nod. I'm not though. I don't get how I could still crave him when I literally had him not so long ago. It was true indeed that my body was not mine anymore and that these hypersensitive and heightened hormones were going to be challenging.

We eat further and I'm luckily distracted by the conversation. I mention the fact that we should probably get a dog. I'm serious. I think I've always wanted one just wasn't sure when that would be. Just then my phone rings. I put my spoon back into my fruit salad bowl before reaching for it.

What's with all these calls today?

Did I mention that two more people called Bangi's phone after Lerato did? He again said he'll call them back cause he thinks it might have something to do with his parents who've gone out. All things he could deal with later.

"Nyiso?" Me.

Oh right she did say she'd call me, I just didn't think it would be this soon. I answer and put the phone next to my ear only to hear she was already talking.

"Woah, wait...hey I didn't catch a word you just said," I say and chortle.
"So you haven't seen it?"
"Seen what?" I frown, putting a full tablespoon of my fruit salad into my mouth.
"Your man! He's all over the news and internet."
