Just as I was about to take my first bite, Sabelo came down stairs and I pretended I didn't see him and ate my food. Quietly humming Belle's favourite song I thought about my daughter and how much I'm missing her and Ava and I got sad.

Quickly finishing my food I rinsed the dishes and got carried away in my thoughts about home, how are they, has Belle's front teeth grown in yet, all these thoughts made me nostalgic and sad. A few tears ran down my face but I didn't notice until I felt someone wiping them off. "Are you okay?" It was Siyabonga

"I'm fine!" I snapped and pushed him away, took my things from the counter top and walked back up to my room. I closed the door and headed straight to bed. Throwing myself on top I buried my head in between the pillows and screamed.

After about 30 minutes I decided to explore this house because for one I'm bored and two if I'm gonna be living here, I need to know what is where. I got off the bed and went in search for sticky notes and a pen. I found some in Siya's room and began my journey around this house.

From the floor we were in, the second floor because the ground floor was the kitchen and living room. From Siyabonga's room I walked deeper and reached a door written stairs and of course I pulled it open and lo and behold, stairs. I looked up and it looked like is an on going cycle of stairs, yhuuu.

I decided to go one floor at a time. So I began going up, I counted 20 steps until I got to the third floor, I pushed the door open and it looked like a study/liabrary/office. I looked around and there were 3 desks with chairs and a table lamp on each desk, some stationary like pens, pencils and such.

I left the third floor and went to the fourth floor which looked like the last floor because well there were no more stairs. I opened the door and the floor was separated into two rooms, deciding to go to the left door I opened it and it was an arcade, dark floors and walls, games everywhere, neon lights everywhere.

I left it and went to the next door, pushed it open and wow...a in house cinema. It had large couches that had cup holders, there were 3 rows each with 5 couches and in front was a large screen. Behind the couches in the far back was a popcorn, a corndog and a cotton candy machine, a mini fridge holding, I'm guessing drinks and such and a small cupboard holding snacks judging by the sticker on the door written 'snacks'.

Next to all of that was a pile of movies and a dvd player that had a cord going up to a protector which would show what's playing in the dvd. I opened the snacks cupboard and took out some salt and pepper lays, oreos dunked in chocolate and then took a bottle of water in the mini fridge.

I went to the second row of couches and choose to sit on the second couch. Realising that I hadn't chosen a movie I stood up and went back to the dvd player and took the two remotes that I hadn't noticed before, one that operates the scream and another that operates the dvd player.

I took both, switched the screan on and chose "Why Did I Get Married ?" ironic, I know. I put in the CD in the player and turned on the sound, turned the lights off and went to my seat and watched the movie.

I guess I fell asleep because I felt someone pick me up and that woke me. I stirred and opened my eyes to see it's Siya. "Hey, sleepy head." He said. I nodded my head because I don't trust my breath. Oh gosh, I hope I didn't drool. He walked out of the theater room and walked straight, away from the stairs to...an elevator ? Huh didn't see that.

I tried to get down but he held me tighter "stop moving babe" he said and his breath smelt fresh. In fact all of him smelt fresh.

Did he take a shower?

We got to the elevator and he put me down on my feet and pressed the down button. The elevator opened immediately and we got in, I still didn't say a word. He pressed 2 and I smiled internally thinking it's the floor with the bedrooms but we got to the ground floor, the kitchen.

He stepped out and I followed him up to the living room and took a detour to my bedroom. I went straight for the bathroom and when I got there I checked my reflection on the mirror and thank God I didn't look that bad, no drool too so that's a big whoop.

I brushed my teeth and washers my faced quickly then ran down stairs t to the kitchen where I found Siyabonga dishing up the food. "Red or white wine?" He asked.
"Uhm do you have Apple juice or orange juice, pretty much any juice? I quite wine, not like I ever drank it but yeah." I answer back

"Yeah..let me check quickly." He said putting the wine glasses on the.counter top. He went to the fridge, pulled it open and took out a bottle of Orange GRoove orange juice. He went to one of the cupboards and took out a glass, rinsed it and poured the juice inside.

He slid a bowl of creamy looking pasta with mixed herbs that smelt absolutely heavenly which made my stomach grumble. He chuckled making me blush and handed me a girl and the glass of juice. He took his bowl and glass of juice -since he decided to drink it too- and walked around to me and sat on the stool besides me.

We dug in and ate quietly. We both finished and I took the bowls to the sink and started washing the dishes. Siyabonga brought the glasses and other dishes I hadn't seen. We finished the dishes quietly too. Once done I checked to see if everything was in order and once I was sure I turned to walk but he pulled me by my left hand.

I turned and crashed into his chest, he put his fire finger under my chin and lightly pushed my face up to look at him. We stared into each other's eyes and he leaned down and kissed me.
