Mfundo POV.

It has been 2 weeks since Drew stormed out of here claiming I was going to regret choosing Shèyaa over him which I thought was absurd considering that he is a married man and after that the twitter war between them just began and Drew being the king of petty he almost gave away that I was messing with Shèyaa on one of his tweets but Shèyaa made sure to ignore that tweet like he ain't seen and I think that what sparked the fans to notice.  A whole lot of both of their fans kept mentioning me on this socials, some would say extremely nasty stuff but I just ignored them like I ain't seen the tags and mentions and went on with my life like I wasn't trending on these platforms every single day. I was surprised my uncle and grandma hadn't called yet to scold me but I guess they kind of understood how the media works. "You're trending again." Afryea walked in the kitchen and rushed to me with her phone in her hand. "What?" I couldn't wait to see what it was I had done this time. She had handed me the phone and I swear my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. Now my family was definitely going to be calling me. I was stunned when I saw pictures of me and Shèyaa kissing and there was no point in both me and him denying cause our faces were clear as day, the pictures were from 2 weeks ago when I was angry he pulled a gun on that journalist. Why are journalist so invested in our lives. "Oh my God!" I slumped down tiredly on this island chair. If there was one thing I knew was that I was fucked. How do I even deny this? I kept scrolling and almost every publication now had these pictures. They had even dragged Drew into this. The internet was just going crazy with me being accused of causing the twitter war that was going on between Drew and 21 and people asking if I was always the main problem between the two or if 21 was only with me to spite Andrew. *Yooh*. "What the fuck Afryea?" I sighed and took this huge breath as and just began eating my fingers nervously. My mind was on a standstill. I didn't know what my next move was going to be.

"I like how you pronounce my name perfectly when you are stressed." Afryea tried to lighten up the mood but I was just too stressed to even catch that. I need to get in touch with the family's PR she needed to fix this while it was still fixable and I also needed to call Shèyaa so we can know what to do or say at this moment. I mean people were going to such an extent of putting two and two together of every picture we've posted of us. The hand holding we always did when we were together and posted just those snippets,they were now posting those and confirming that indeed we were a couple. "Fuck!" I sighed for the hundreth time in a split of a minute. "My family is going to kill me. I might as well jump off this building and just end it before they get to me." I was being serious but Afryea just gave me this look like I was being dramatic. "That's a bit drastic." She looked worried  when she realised how serious I was but I knew she couldn't feel what I was feeling at this specific moment. Notifications started going crazy on her phone and I decided best I hand it back to her cause I couldn't the comments, the bullshit articles on these blogs, she carried on concentrating on her phone and I just sat there as my heart kept on beating. "Shit, shit, shit. He just confirmed your relationship. He is even defending you!" Afryea was shocked like could this day get any worse. Why would he do that without talking to me first. I took my phone and went straight to instagram to check if Afryea wasn't seeing things and indeed I was splattered on his instagram.

"This woman is the most amazing woman I have ever met and this whole thing of y'all disrespecting her is total bullshit. This is a woman that holds her own and doesn't need me or that other punk so y'all need to get off her dick. We are all adults here so we can do whatever we want, I don't see anything wrong with her being with me and she's just amazing and I love being with her, she makes me happy and I hope I also make her as happy as she makes me." Afryea read out the caption that was accompanied by my picture that he took when we went on a date.

"Okay, the cat is out of the bag I guess. No point in denying." I said getting off my phone and now staring at my screensaver which was a picture of me and Shèyaa. "Mfundo, you and 21 are doing nothing wrong, He is right by telling them off." a knock disturbed her pep talk and at this moment I was happy for that knock cause I could use some quiet time. I  continued sitting in my stress as Afryea walked over to the door. She opened the door and it was a guy holding a bouquet of red roses and a little white box. "Hi ma'am these are for Miss Jones." The delivery guy said looking at Afryea with a smile and that's when Afryea squaled excitedly taking the roses from the guy and the white box.
