***The truth is, staying broke is just as hard as becoming rich***

I'm resting in his chest as he brushes my hair, I think I have cried waterfall in his chest and he just held me close and told me everything will be ok.

We were disturbed by my phone ringing,
Him: it might be important"
Me: or it can be my boss firing me for taking so many leaves "
He laughed
Me: not funny, I blame you for messing up my life "
Him: women I found your life already complicated I just gave it a bit of excitement and thrill"
I looked at him and bust out and laughed
Him: so did you know that Zoe kind of hooked us up?"
I turned around and looked at him
Me: what? Zoe as in Dr. Dlamini? my boss? "
He wiggled his eyebrows and nodded
Me: what? how?"
He chuckled,
Him: well let's just say my brother-in-law Mvelo, forced me to go to Your hospital, something about a vision he had of me walking and you being the reason behind it... He told Zoe and she just saw that as hook up for us"
Me: so you telling me being assigned to your case was Zoe doing?"
Him: her exact words were " she is beautiful, single and so amazing you going to love her "

I held my mouth and Ntsika just laughed throwing his head back,
Me: I don't believe this! "
Him: I don't too, but your sassy attitude got me on my knees when I looked in your eyes for the first time
Everything went blank for a second,
There was magic in the air that intertwined your soul with mine. “
Me: I know, I felt it too but you were so arrogant...rude and..."
He squeeze my waist, I opened my mouth taking in the pain
Him: and what?..."
Before I responded his tongue was shoved in my mouth making me quiver in his kiss

My phone was making the most irritating sound ever by ringing nonstop,
Him: pick that up it giving me an earache"
Me: or I can just switch it off" I said pulling his head, he bit my lip and gently pushed me off him, as he side smile.
Him: I will make our food go answer that phone"

I rolled my eyes and stood up dragging my feet to our bedroom, I caught Ntsika busy checking my ass and I pulled my robe slightly higher giving him a clear view
Him: damn!"
He said smiling and positioning his fist on his mouth, I bust out and laughed and ran to the bedroom, I picked up my phone while still laughing I did not even look at the caller ID

Me: hello"
" Liya please don't hang up !"
I frowned and looked at the number on my phone screen
Me: what do you want?"
" just to talk...please!"
Me: it's been over 10 years Mangalisa and now you want to talk?"
Him: look I am the one to blame for the crack between our family I just want to try and fix it "
Me: Fix what?"
Him: I have been through shit the past year almost lost my life in the process, I was in a very dark place and all along I blamed my father for leaving us, but honestly from how I have been treating women in my life I now understand that I don't have  daddy issues or commitment issues I have huge mother issues and judging from what transpired on the new year's lunch between you and Ma, I knew you have issues too"
I bite my lip thinking
Me: why now?"
Him: why not now? ... Liya we both grown up and we need to sort our  lives first, address these issues before we commit to any serious relationship you are a ticking bomb and I'm worried about you"
I kept quiet, not sure what to say
Him: please I need to see you, talk to you before I go...ngiyakucela Liyana...Ngonyama yenduna...."
Me: just don't start with the clan name bribery..."
Him:...Luphondo! Nina babiya ngomkhonto amahlahla ehleli ..."
Me: urg cut it off!" I said laughing dropping the phone

I walked back to the dining room area and found Ntsika dishing up,
Him: and that smile?"
Me: my brother just called "
Him: mmm that's a good thing right?"
Me: he wants to meet and talk "
Him: ok that definitely a good thing "
Me: Ntsika I don't think I can "

He pushed my plate forward on the kitchen counter, indicating that I take a seat and eat
Him: what stopping you "
He asked the minute I sat down,
Me: I don't know what to say to him"
Him: he asked you for a talk, so let him do the talking... You are not obliged to say anything rather than hear him out"
I sigh playing with my food
Him: babe, do you want my opinion?"
Me: your opinion is for me to agree to meet with Mangalisa"
He laughed
Him:you got that right, I mean what kind of a man would I be if I don't agree for you to go have a seat down with the man I will be paying Lobola too"
