She looks at him embarrassed.
He pulls her closer.
Mqhele: " why don't you imagine them being here again enjoying the view" he says that kissing her breathlessly, the kiss deepens and she moans in his mouth. Embarrassed by her body betraying her she imagines everyone back and as soon as they hear the voices they break the kiss.
