A moment in time

Chapter 28

Phone rings

I slowly opened my eyes sitting up. I looked around realizing that I am actually sleeping on the couch and my back is making me pay for it.  That bitch Andile didnt even wake me up he just left me lying in this couch. I fully opened my eyes scanning around the room for my ringing cellphone and finally found it lying on the floor next to the couch.I picked it up and  checked the time and it reported 02:14 am in the morning.

I exhaled picking up the call.

"Hey Ntwenhle yam. I hope I didnt wake you up"

"ufunani Ndumiso(what do you want Ndumiso)?"I calmly ask rubbing my eyes.

"Haybo baby what is that supposed to mean and why am I suddenly Ndumiso"

"Hayi khawume andinayo energy yakho(argh just stop I really don't have the energy to deal with you)"

"Ntwen-

I dropped the call and switched off my phone before standing up heading to my bed. I took off the pants I was wearing and got in bed with my under wears,drifting of back to sleep .

I woke up feeling drained. Blame it on the alcohol. My body felt weak and tired I dont know what is it that they mixed in that wine but whatever it is its nice hut dangerous cause wow.

I stood up to wear my silk robe and sat starring into space. Yah no ngaze ngayisola I shouldn't have went that hard on that bottle.

I clapped once in dismay shaking my head. What was I even thinking drinking half a bottle alone especially of that brand. I'm sure I was trying to commit suicide.

My door bell ringed. "HOUSE KEEPING" A voice shouted. I cleaned up the bottles before walking to the door to open. One of the hotels helpers walked in past me with a trolly filled with fresh new bed covers and other cleaning equipments.

"Good morning ma'am"she shyly greets fixing the pillows on the couch. She looks so shy and anxious and for some reason its so cute.

"Good morning to you too"I greeted with a smile as I picked up my clothes and made my way to the bathroom to run myself a bath and to also give her space to do her job in peace.

I poured my body relaxing salts on the bubble bath and soaked myself in. Did I mention that my bathroom has a whole view and you can literally shower or bath or actually do anything for that matter with the most beautiful view before you.

After minutes and minutes of soaking myself I got out of the bath and dried myself.

After my whole hygiene process I got dressed in my baige maxi dress with a thigh high slit and sandals.

I walked back to my room and found the helper busy spraying something on the flowers Ndumiso got me and they were now in a vase with water,the last time I checked the flowers were on a coma.

"Ma'am I fix flowers for you"she says smiling. "I place money in the basket"she says showing me the basket that had the money that had been tucked in the flowers.

"Thank you so much I thought they were dead and there's nothing I could do about it. How much do you I owe you for  your services?"I ask walking over to my closet to retrieve my purse.

"No ma'am,no money for free"

"No please I insist"I take out some notes from my wallet.

"No ma'am gift for me for you"

"You sure?"I ask,she nods taking her cleaning equipment.

"Take care,beautiful flowers".

I nod smiling.
