Sbonelo's POV :

I am at the office and I am very much distracted I keep thinking of thato did she get home safe ? Is she okay ? Why is she not replying to my e-mail?I have so many questions in my head . I last saw her at the mall I just need to know if she is safe. The door opens and vuyani walks in .

Vuyani:"sho boy".
Me:"fede"
Vuyani:"zikiphani ?".
Me:"lutho foza ngibusy nje".
Vuyani:"cha ngibona ongeko busy uhlezi ilaptop ibuke wena ".
Me:"i was just thinking".
Vuyani:"ndoda khuluma nami kwenze njani".
Me:"okay so last week Friday I went to the mall and I bumped into thato".
Vuyani:"she is not interested in you?".
Me:"let me finish....so we spent almost 5 hours just talking eating having a great time nothing went wrong but I did the dumbest thing".
Vuyani:"you kissed her and she reacted".
Me:"no let me finish we were good, thing is after she left I realised that I don't have her numbers so i sent her an email asking if she got home safe and she is still hasn't replied".
Vuyani:"okay what I am hearing is that she doesn't like you".
Me:"nope what if she is hurt or kidnapped".
Vuyani:"or she just hasn't checked her emails ".
Me:"she is a lawyer she has to check her emails". That's made sense to me but her not replying to my e-mail stresses me out did I do something wrong did i offend her in any way argh I need to know.
Vuyani:" have you tried calling her office or something?".
Me:"no let me try". I say franatic I look for the card she gave me I don't find it anywhere i go outside my office and ask sammi if she still has the card of thato's contacts,luckily she still has it . I go back to my office and try calling her office it rings and ring and finally someone answers.

P.a:"miss Molapo's assistant how may I help you ".
Me:"hi you speaking to mr mahlangu is miss molapo avaliable ".
P.a:"no sir she is not avaliable ". Could it be that she is avoiding me .
Me:"oh when will she be available ".
P.a:" I really don't not know sir".
Me:"what do you mean you don't know?".
P a:" meaning I don't know when she will be avaliable ".
Me:" can you please get me her personal numbers"
P.a:" I can't do that sir".
Me:"why not ".
P.a:":its against policy even if I were to break policy miss molapo doesn't give out her personal information ".
Me:" okay can you please tell to call me when she has the chance".
P.a:"okay I will pass the massage".

Vuyani looked at me waiting on me to fill him in on the call.
Vuyani:"sooo ".
Me:"Apprently she is not avaliable and she doesn't share her personal information with anyone".
Vuyani:"as she shouldn't ". He was so amused by this ,let's just say before I was captivated by u ntokazi I was a serial player but seeing her that day at the mall I became someone who i don't recognize I wanna be perfect for her I wanna be that guy for her i won't lie and say I see a future with her it still early I haven't made my move or showed her my intentions.
Me:"how can I get in contact with her ".
Vuyani:"mfo just go to her and tell her whats up or uphetwe yegwababa". He said that chuckling, i was so annoyed by him but he is right . Tommorrow I will go to her workplace and shit
am I even going to say hayiii ngiza bona khona.
Vuyani:"foza I gotta go see you weekend for some guys night out with nathi and others.
Me:"sure I am down ,see you weekend.
We fist bumped and he left i carried on typing on my laptop.

Thato's POV :

Morning came i was still snuggled up with bassie I woke up and stretched and went to my room so i could do my morning routine and I could make breakfast.
After washing my face I went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone but I found mom already half way done with breakfast .

Me:"morning mama".I say kissing her cheek
Ma:"morning nana".
Me :"did you sleep well ?".I say sitting on the barstool
Ma:"Yes, do you want tea or coffee?".
Me:"no,mama I will make it ebile i wanted to make everyone breakfast but you beat me to it".
Ma:"akere you wake up late ".
Me:"haa mama it's quarter to eight it not late its the appropriate time to wake up".
Ma:"nana you love sleeping I am even surprised that you up at this time ". I look at her and deep down I know she is right I prioritise my sleep.
Me:"its because of my job I have to be up early in the morning anyway where is papa?".
Ma:"he went to fill the car at the gas station said that he forgot to fill it "
Me:"oh do you need help".
Ma:"no I fine but you have to get ready for church tho ".
Me:" okay but after I have eaten"
Ma :"okay nana go wake up bassie".
I walk to bassie's bedroom and i find her bed made and her not around I get out and walk to the bathroom and knock.

Me :"bassie mom says breakfast is ready".
Bassie:"okay I will be out ".
Me:"okay".
I walk back to the kitchen and I find papa sitting reading the newspaper.
Me:"morning papa how did you sleep".
Papa:"I slept very well because my daughter is home wena how was your night?".
Me:" very nice I slept with bassie in her room".
Papa:"she really missed you ".
Me:"I did too ".
Mom told me to set the table cause she was done. Bassie skipped to the kitchen and greeted the parents and came help me.

Bassie:"morning sesi how are you ". She said hugging me
Me:" morning sweetie I am good you?".
Bassie:"I am very much happy ". She said smiling at me i couldn't help but smile back.
Me:"That great". We finished with setting the table we then took food from the kitchen to the dining room. Not going to lie mama went all out with this break fast it was enough to feed a dozen of people.
Bassie:"yhoo mama so much food".
Mama:"I wanted to make a special breakfast for nana".
Me:" keya leboha mama". We blessed the food and she the food was amazing .mama really knows her way in the kitchen unlike me, i mean i know how to cook but I am lazy to cook.
breakfast ended bassie and dad washed the dishes since mom and I haven't bathed.i showered cause if i took a bath I was going to be late after I showering i went yo my room so i could get dressed . I looked for something to wear I ended up deciding on my bottom up black dress and wore my sandal heel did my minimal make up took my bag and went to the kitchen. I found everyone waiting for Me.
Papa:"i almost sent bassie to call you".
Me:"I am here we can get going". We walk out and papa locked the door and we took my car papa drove.  I have never sat at the back seat of my car . Mama was sitting on the passenger side and bassie was with me at the back.
Church is only 20 minutes away from home in that time we were chatting up a storm.

After church me and bassie were waiting for the parents ,you know how adults are mama was with other ladies catching up and papa was with ntate mokoena.
Bassie:"yhoo we will wait pela".
Me:"yepp those are your parents go ask papa for the keys my feet are tired".
Bassie wena go you want them to rope into their conversation ". I laugh because it true
Me:"okay I will go ". I walk to where papa was I greet ntate mokoena

Me:"dumela ntate mokoena le kae?".
Ntate mokoena:"dumela ke teng ngwanaka wena o jwang".
Me:"ke hantle ntate" I look at papa and say "papa ke kopa di keya tsa koloi".
He takes them out and gives the to me 
I walk back to the car and find bassie talking to another kid around her age ,I greet her and get in the car. I was never one to sit and communicate with other people at church even when I was growing up don't get me wrong I do greet and ask how they are you know simple pleasantries either than that nope .
I always struggled with communicating with people unless we are connected by a topic otherwise I would just sit and keep quiet.
After a while the parents came back and we left for lunch and I was hungry . We ate at spur while talking about church and mama was telling us how her friends wanted me to get married to their sons and church gossip after lunch we went back home .

Around 15p.m I started with dinner I made lasagna and salad ,ordered a bucket of kfc chicken. We blessed the food and ate . Later that night i showered got dressed and I decided to get my laptop so i could watch my series. I dozed off watch vampire diaries .
