"It was her right, she's the one who did this?" Drew spoke in a low tone, this wasn't a question but more of a statement and a statement that he was hundred percent sure of. It was going to midnight and Drew had somehow snuck in my room and here we were cuddling on this hospital bed, the whole time he had been here he had been awfully quiet like something was bothering him and I guess now I was about to find out what is it that was on his mind. "Who did what?" I asked playing with his wife beater that he had on as I carried on listening to his faint heart beat. He looked down on me, I couldn't really  read his expression. "Priya, she's the one who stabbed you." I felt the air get knock out of my lungs and I stared at him and I tried to find the words to oppose him but they got stuck on my tongue but the more I kept quiet was the more I saw his eyes fill with rage and God knows I didn't want Priya to get in jail,she just needs help not jail. "It wasn't her." I lied in a haste as  sat up and he did the same and shook his in disbelief. "You should have told me Mfundo." He said but I shook my head. "Drew I swear it wasn't her." I lied still but he ran a hand over his face before he breathed through his mouth. "Should I be worried
Mfundo, Is Priya going to be a problem in our relationship since you are so hellabent on protecting her?" he asked but I shook my head no. She promised me that she learnt her lesson, I know she just got caught up on her infatuation with Drew, she won't go that crazy again. She's not an evil person at all. "Fine. That doesn't mean I'm dropping this whole thing Mfundo, I will find out if she did this and she's gon have to pay for it." He said before he laid back on the bed and pulled me to his chest and I laid there listening to his heartbeat while I tried to slow mine down. "I also want to ask something." he whispered against my hair. "Mmm." I hummed giving him a go ahead. I just hoped it wouldn't be a question I couldn't answer. "Jay." he started and just like my heart started racing again and I got scared that he was going to hear it pounding. "What about Jay?" I asked lowly as I traced my fingers on his tattoed arm. "Yall feeling each other or something or did yall have a thing before?" he blunted it out just like that and that's when I looked up to him and to find his eyes already waiting on mine. "What?" I asked like I didn't hear him. "I'm asking if you and Jay had a thing going on or have some types of feelings for each other." He repeated nonchalantly and I opened my mouth to talk but no words came out. I mean what would it look like if I just say *Yeah we dated as kids but he left with no word and than showed up again this year and I'm not sure how I feel about him but he was my first real boyfriend.* ain't no way in hell I'm saying that. "No." I was becoming a liar, a great one at that. "Jay and I grew up together. I don't understand which weird vibes you're talking about. If I was ever with Jay I would never be with you since yall friends and stuff." when did I become such a good liar? "I'm sorry baby." He pecked my lips. and I felt my tears fill my eyes. Why did I feel like this relationship of mine was changing me into a person I didn't like. "I get insecure sometimes." he pecked my lips once more and I smiled against his lips. "it's fine." I laid back on his chest and just regretted lying to him the whole night.

Next morning we were woken up by my uncle who shouted "Imihlola yini?" when he found us all cuddled up on this hospital bed. I don't even know what he was doing here so early in the morning. Right now I had just finished changing since my uncle said he was here to pick me up and that I was going back home and to be honest I was happy about that. I decided Drew should be the one to take me home even though my uncle wasn't pleased but he didn't cause a scene but I knew I was about to hear from him the moment I got home. Right now we were following my uncle's car as we drove back home.

Drew stopped outside the gate of my house and I looked at him and he gave me this genuine smile like I just made him happy without even trying. "I'll call you." he said and leaned in for a kiss and I met him halfway and we engaged in a passionate kiss which lasted for a few seconds. "Do you want to go to the beach or an ice-cream date later?" he asked against my lips and I nodded with this huge smile on my face. "Is it going to be like our official date?" I was cheesing so damn hard, the butterflies were doing as they pleased in my stomach. "Yeah, I've been meaning to take you on a date." this time he brushed his nose on mine before he pecked my lips. "Than yes Mr Parker." I spoke against his lips and once more our lips locked as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Shit." Drew pulled back as we tried to even our breaths. "You should go inside, we'll talk later." he said and I nodded, I already knew that I was in trouble with my uncle and staying and kissing on Drew was only making things worse. "Uhm drive safe." I pecked his lips like 5 times which made him giggle at my silly ass. "Bye." I untangled my arms from his neck. "Drive safe." I pecked his lips one last time before I got out of his car and I watched him drive away and no lie my heart broke when his car disappeared. I took this huge breath before I made my way to the house. "Mfundo." that was my uncle who was sitting in the lounge probably waiting on me. I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. "Bab omncane." I hung my head low as he stood up and made his way towards me. Let me describe my uncle. He was intimidating when he wanted but deep down I knew he was a softie but that did not mean he didn't reprimand you if he felt you were getting out of line. "You have to end whatever you have with that rapper. He is not good for your image Mfundo, not good for the family's image." he spoke and I looked up to him in a haste. "But bab omncane he is a rapper not some criminal." I defended Drew quickly. "When have you ever seen an American rapper that was not affiliated with any gang. Do you even know anything about him or you're just letting your groupie side of you lead you!" His voice was stern and I felt my bottom quiver, I hated being yelled at. "Bab omncane but he is not ev-"
"No Mfundo, forget about him!" he shouted making me jump at his tone and I swallowed a lump as I felt my tears fill my eyes. "Yes bab omncane." I said and the tears poured out after those words. "Go to your room. Tomorrow you're going back to school." He said and I nodded as I wiped my tears with my hands, I made my way to my room, the moment I got there I felt my tears take control and I cried. I cried so hard till I felt the tears give up on me. Why couldn't my uncle understand where I'm coming from? Why couldn't he see that Drew makes me happy? I was still lost in my emotions when my phone rang and I checked it to see it was Drew I decided to ignore as I laid back in my bed and just cried watching my phone ringing.

Drew POV.
.
I had just gotten to my hotel room and I decided to call Mfundo and let her know I got to my hotel safely but she didn't answer so I guess she was asleep. She must be drained from all that medicine she was subjected to at the hospital. I decided to send her a text so she'll wake up to it.

To Mfundo: I just wanted to let you I got at the hotel safely and that I miss you already.

I sent the text before I threw my phone on my bed so I could take a shower. I stripped out of my clothes and walked to the bathroom where I took this relaxing shower as I allowed Mfundo to invade my mind. That woman  or girl was really doing things I didn't understand to my mind. She has captured my attention and maybe my heart as well. I didn't really understand how that just happened. I mean one minute I was mesmerized by her beauty and yeah its in my nature to want to get the woman that most men can't get and the next I'm out here thinking about her every damn second. "What are you doing to me Mfundo Jones." that how crazy I was, I was even speaking to myself. I ran a hand over my face and shook my head. It wasn't healthy how this girl has captured my mind. I need to spend some time with my niggas. They were flying back to the States tonight and  I was supposed to go with them but now I'll have to follow behind. I wanted to make sure Mfundo was completely alright before I flew back home.

After my shower, I dressed up in some sweat pants and a simple plain t-shirt and wore some socks and some slippers. I took my phone and that's when I saw I had a missed call from Kim. I decided to call her back. "Hey baby." She answered on the second ring. "Hey, I saw your missed call." I said as I took a seat on my bed. "Yeah I just wanted to know when are you flying back home. There is something we need to talk about." she said and I kept quiet for a few seconds. "Shaun you still there?" she hollered and that's when I took this  deep breath. "Look ma I'm kind of dealing with some stuff here so I probably will fly down there next week." I said and she kept quiet like that didn't sit right with her. "Okay." there was some silence for a few seconds. Things were pretty much awkward between the two of us since I was out here chasing after another woman while I was still with her. "Shaun when you're done chasing her and you get bored, you know where to find me. I love you." she spoke in this sad tone. I knew I was shit for hurting her. "I'll call you when I get home." I said and she must have nodded and said bye and hung  up. I took this huge breath as I laid on my back and just watched the lights in this room. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard my niggaz making noise as they walked to my bedroom and I sat up now looking at them. "Hello Mr Jones." Trell said and they all busted out in laughter which made me roll my eyes at their stupidity. "You do know Mfundo is like ten times richer than you right?" Trell said as he walked over to my bed and sat next to me. "Yeah so what?" I asked with a shrug. "That makes you her bitch." Mario added but I rolled my eyes as I stood up from the bed. "Nah family, you see she may be worth a few billions but I'm also worth a lot of millions so that doesn't make me her anything other than her boyfriend." I stated but these idiots laughed. "Okay you're like how much 600 million dollars and she's like worth 2 or 3 billions and not in Rands but in dollars so count for yourself nigga." Trell once more added and I just gave him this tired look. "Aye yall chill. Drew loves that girl and the girl loves him so I don't see anything wrong with the fact she richer than him and it's not like everything she had she worked for it, her father handed her everything and Drew worked for his 600 million dollars." Jayden came to my defense. I dabbed him. " Yeah Jayden is right" Ja added also and that's when everybody quiet like they knew something I didn't know about. "So you and her are already talking about love?" Jay asked putting his hands in his pockets.
"nah, not yet." I answered being truthful, I don't think Mfundo and I were theře as yet. "And Kim, yall always do this but somehow always get back together. Now where would that leave Mfundo?" he asked staring at me, I couldn't understand his look but I just kept quiet because damn he was right and I didn't have an answer to give him. "Mfundo doesn't deserve the shit you're about to throw her into." he said and just like that he left and now the awkward silence filled the room. "I'm going to call Karen to see if she willing to fuck a nigga before I fly out." Trell broke the silence as he took his phone out of his pocket and left the room. "Anybody want something to eat?" I asked and Jayden and Mario nodded and that's when I took my phone so I could order something to eat for us. Jay words played in my head as I thought that maybe he was right. Mfundo didn't deserve the kind of life I was throwing her into. Not to mention how the media will destroy her because of me. Shit.
