Chapter Forty Three.

"They're out to get you, better leave while you can, don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man. You wanna stay alive, better do what you can..." x Michael Jackson.

I clap my hands, along with the two people who made all of this possible. Nothing making me prouder than the delivery of that speech, the way it touched me and made me feel like we were headed for a good start and something better that all this madness.

He gives me a nervous smile, taking the hug I give to him as a much needed reliever.

"How did I do?"
"Fantastic of course," I say and let him go.
"Your wife is correct, that ship sailed smoothly." Lerato says. "I think that is it for today. The movers will come in tomorrow morning. 08h00 sharp."
"I hope you're aware we're just taking our clothing and essentials right?"Bangi asks.

"Yes, My Prince what do you take me for?" Lerato says after chuckling. I feel Bangi snake his arm around my waist before pulling me a little closer to him. His hand glides to my butt and he squeezes it causing me to clear my throat and reach to put his hand back on my waist.

My goodness...

Not while we have eyes around us like this. My cheeks hurt from the blushing I'm doing.

"Make sure Nandi and a few other helpers get to our wing to start packing."
"At what time shall I send them in?" Lerato asks.
"10h00, the sooner they're done, the better," he pecks my cheek.

Someone is in a good mood today...or rather a better mood than yesterday. We eventually leave Lerato and head for our wing after she gave us a quick review again of how well the speech was doing for the little situation we had.

I immediately rush to the loo to pee and rid myself of one of my jerseys. It wasn't that cold anymore and maybe I had gone a bit overboard with the clothing I put on.

Bangi is seated on the couch, phone at hand, watching a video of his speech by the sound of things.

"...Let us unite and build our community..." He stops the video and sighs heavily. I don't know what he's thinking about this whole event but I do want to find out. Or do I?

"Do you think this was a good idea?" He pats on his lap which I gladly go invade with a fullfigured-thick-tighed straddle.

"Are you doubting yourself now?" I ask, looking him right in the eye.
"A little. Look I know My Lee..." He gives me a look and I roll my eyes. "...she said it's going well but I mean-..."

"But you mean nothing because I'm sure this will work. You just need to relax and let everything fall back into place again. Hopefully you know what greatness you've bought to this kingdom and that's all that should matter."

I reach down and grab his phone, scrolling through it. Searching for his Google, find it prior to searching for the speech he delivered today. I check if there were any good articles out there about this and indeed there were already a lot of articles. Good articles.

"See..." I show him what I was looking at thoroughly. "...good things are happening already. Positive things."
"You know what, you're right."

"Vele I'm right hawu," I chuckle and lock his phone before tossing it onto the empty space next to us, cupping his face and peck his lips. "Today we're headed forward with all the housing projects and charity events, your businesses and us."

"I love how you're putting us up there along with those priorities." He leans in and pecks my lips again. "Ngiyabonga Sthandwa sam."

"You know I'm here for you. Well my job here is done then. Let me go make us something to eat, you hungry?" I ask already envisioning what storm I'll be cooking in that kitchen. I know I ate a little something before we left but it surely wouldn't hurt to have something right now. Did I even take my prenatals today?
