I woke up the next day still in Sthe's arms. I smiled. It was the first time since this whole nightmare started that i didnt have a single bad dream. I looked at him and caressed his dreads damn this man was gorgeous i couldn't believe my luck. He woke up. "baby?  Are you okay", he said sleepily.
Me: yeah im perfect. I smiled.
Sthe: did you have a good night?
Me: i had an awesome night bbe
Sthe: ok my love i have to get ready for some errands. Let me go shower real quick. He got up from bed and made his way to the shower. I heard the water running then he came back.
Sthe: yazi i need someone to scrub my back any offers to help me?  He smiled mischievously. I laughed
Me:  oh wow so now im good enough to be your back scrubber.  I pretended to be angry. He came to me and cupped my face and looked me straight in the eyes.
Sthe: falling this hard for you wasn't part of the plan.
Me: what are you talking about?  I asked because i was confused now.
Sthe: nothing babe just uhlale wazi( always now) my feelings for you are genuine Ndoh.
Me: uyangthusa manje ( you scaring me now) why the sudden seriousness? He looked at me. I couldnt read his expression then he kissed me so passionately i was feeling weak at the knees ntanga! He broke the kiss.
Sthe: please join me in the shower I'll scrub your back too if you scrub mine. This time i happily agreed before he starts acting weird again. We went to go shower together i must say it was an intimate moment I've never experienced in a relationship. We were laughing playing i forgot all my insecurities about my body.
Sthe: what is about you Ndoh?
Me: excuse me?
Sthe: sengisho ukuthi ( i mean to say) what is it about you that would have a man risking everything he has just to have you. I laughed not becausd it was funny but because the jerk Sphiwe once asked me that.
Me: ai angazi nami
We finished showering went to the bedroom dried our bodies. I just wrapped a towel around my body while he lotioned his body,  i was gonna start by making the bed.
Sthe: dont do that.
Me: hawu why? 
Sthe: Coz we about to mess it up right now again,  he smiled that mischievous smile of his.
Me: usile yazi we just bathed nje.
Sthe: so?? We can shower again mina i need a proper goodbye from my woman. He pulled me closer undid my towel and just looked at my body looking all thirsty. I never had a man look at me like that and it  wasn't a perverted look it was more of a longing look. He motioned me to lay on the bed he got on top and started kissing every part of my body. After all that and more we made love.
Sthe: now that was a proper goodbye. He smiled.
Me: you are welcome.  We kissed. He got up and brought a towel for us to clean ourselves. Then got dressed. He kissed me on the forehead and left. I dosed off.

It was was around midday when i woke up.  Made the bed and went to take a quick shower as i came my phone rang. It was Sthe. I smiled to myself. I answered.
Me: hey babe.
Sthe: ya my love usuvikile?
Me: how did you know i was sleeping.
Sthe: come on babe i know i have that effect yoy could barely keep your eyes open after i was done with you. He chuckled.
Me: mcm oh please.
Sthe: i was just checking on my gorgeous babe. I blushed.
Me: well this gorgeous babe is fine.
Sthe: ok babe ubesharp( keep well). We hung up. After that i made the bed. I was now hungry then i heard a knock on the door.
Me: come in.
The person entered. It was mamVee.
MamVee: nono awulambanga na kunini ulele( arent you hungry you been asleep for a long time?
Me: i was just tired mamVee but im coming right now.
MamVee: okay nono. She left. My phone rang without looking at who it was i just answered.
Me: kodwa babe you cant get enough of me ne. I laughed.
Caller: Ndoh its me. Oh how ive longed to hear your voice. It wasnt Sthe.
Me: aibo who is this?
Caller: its... There was a pause.
Me: hello??
Caller: imina Ndoh(its me) uMenzi. I nearly dropped my phone , the shock was too mush. I thought someone was playing a sick joke on me i was just speechless.
Menzi: are you still there?? I snapped out of my shock.
Me: Menzi but how? I thought you died.
Menzi: i thought so too until an angel in the form of my sister rescued me. I was happy he was alive i didnt understand why though i mean he was just a thug hired to kill me.
Me: ufunani?
Menzi: i need to see you Ndoh you are in more danger than you realise.
Me: what are you talking about the only danger is you. Look at the last time i was around you i nearly died.
Menzi: please Ndoh just trust ngyazi( i know) in your eyes im just a useless thug but this thug cares so much about you and i cant sit and let you play in the devils den.
Me: Menzi you not making any sense right now.
Menzi: please meet me Ndo i beg you please and dont tell anyone about this i beg you.
Me: why Menzi? Why would i trust you i mean you were hired to kill me how do i know you not just trying to finish your job.
Menzi: i would never do that Ndoh ngyakuthanda( i love you)
I nearly chocked on my saliva.
Me: excuse me???
Menzi: its true Ndoh before i got shot i came with the plan that i would kidnap you for your own safety i wasnt about to kill the woman i loved not for any amount of money. I guess Sphiwe decided to backstab me in the name of money. I wont lie Menzi caught me so off guard. I didnt know how to respond.
Me: okay where should we meet. Im gonna tell Sthe incase you kill me.
Menzi: Ndoh please dont tell him i beg you please. His voice sounded so desperate. I agreed . Dont ask me why but i just did.
Menzi: thank you Ndoh i will text you the address please delete it after.
Me: okay. We hung up. What does Menzi want from me though and why shouldnt i tell anyone. I guess ill have to wait and see. I lotioned my body and got dressed i got the sms. I went to grab a quick bite then i called a cab. When it arrived i left.
