KHANYISA
We check out at nine o'clock the next morning. I'm happy with this stop and I also feel glad that Nkosi thought of it. Now it's time to get back to reality, my parents anniversary is only days away now so that's what's going to be grabbing most of my attention
Nkosi drives us home and we stop twice along the way to fill up on fuel, have lunch and buy more snacks. When we get home it's late in the afternoon, he tells me he will order in and I go straight for my nap.
The next morning he goes back to the office and I see the day as a chance to go get my nails done before weekend. I know around tomorrow, sesi Caro and I will be very busy and I might not have time to visit the salon
I text with Cheryl she's the one picking me up this time and then we head to our usual nail spot. When we are done we find a restaurant nearby and we order lunch
Looking at our drinks menu, we both put away the wine lists without a second glance, something quite unusual of the both of us seeing we both love wine and have it whenever eat out. When we do this, we look each other in the eye, the words are just at the tip of my tongue as we both smile shyly at each other
"What?" We both say to each other at the same time
"Nothing" we say again then bust out laughing
"Okay, this is ridiculous. Cheryl, is there something you want to share?" I give her a knowing look and she returns it
"Khanyi, is there something you'd like to share?" she repeats my question
We sit there laughing like two nutcases and I'm sure to people around us, we do appear to have lost our marbles
"Oh my gosh!"She says and I bite my lips and shake my head
" Okay, let's say it at the same time, no shouting though, we are in public"I look around us then back at her
"Okay" She agrees "Ready?"
"On the count of three" I say then we start
"One, two...three. I'm pregnant" we both say to each other just as the waiter returns to our table
We both look at him and the look on his face is priceless, making us both laugh again, clearly someone out there is drinking and we are the ones getting intoxicated on their behalf
" Uhh... Congratulations?" He says with a nervous smile
"Thank you" we say again, at the same time
"Okay this is weird, we need to stop speaking at the same time" I say to Cheryl
"Agreed"She says and the waiter clears his throat to get our attention
" Have you two mommies to be decided what you'll be having? "
I order a pulled pork wrap and Cheryl goes with cheesy prawns and garlic bread then we both order mocktails
" Oh my gosh! Kay I can't believe it!!"She squeals excitedly
" Me neither, you know what this means?our babies will grow up together"
"Yes!" OMG, imagine all the fun things we will get to do together, this is amazing! " she sings it out
" This is so crazy, us, pregnant at the same time, I swear this friendship was meant to be" I gush over our baby news
"It really was, I love you, mommy"
"I love you too, mommy"
"Okay, now I need your help, I haven't told Nick yet and I wanted to make it a big reveal of some sorts"
