I can never get used to this sight, waking up next to him feels so unreal. "Kungani ungibheka kanjalo?" He asks with his eyes still closed. "Huh?" I squint my eyes, not understanding what he's saying.

"Are you going to work today?" He asks and I nod. "Yes, but I need to lay low, I don't want anyone to know that I'm here a-" He cuts me off by placing his lips on mine, I pull away. "I need to get to work" I blush.

"What time are you getting off?" He sits up. "I'm working a twelve hour shift so I'll drive myself" I walk into the bathroom, getting ready. Just as I'm driving to the hospital, my phone rings.

Me:
Hello?

Tata:
Where are you? Why has your flight been cancelled?

Me:
Yoh hayi, can't I live my life in peace? I said I'm leaving, I didn't specify where to.

Tata:
Minentle N-

I hang up. Gosh that felt so good. I switch of my phone and leave it in the car before walking into the hospital.

"Why's your phone off?" Samkelo asks the second I enter his house. "I told you that I was at work mos. I had no time to answer your calls" I place my keys on the rack. "Naledi" He frustratedly sighs.

"Please not today, I don't want to argue with you right now. I need to shower and sleep, I'm exhausted" I walk past him and head up to shower. "Themba lami" He calls out when I enter the room. "Mhm?"

"Sondela, kunento engifuna ukukutshela yona" He motions. "Huh?" I scrunch up my face in confusion. "Come here" He grabs my arm. I hesitantly step closer to him and sit on the bed. "Ke eng?" I squint my eyes in anticipation.

"I have to leave for London in a few day-" I cut him off. "Let me stop you right there. YOU told me to stay HERE with you and now you want to leave me and go to London?! You're crazy, wa nkwa? You're crazy." I point out.

"I'll be back in two weeks time, you don't need to leave" He adds. "Are you hearing yourself? I only agreed to stay for a week, if you're leaving then I'll happily go, I don't do vat n sit nna" 

"Then come with me" I laugh in response. "Ke eng ka wena? O tsubile eng? Abuti weh, I have school my life doesn't revolve around you. Go to London, I'll return to school ke"

"And please don't try to convince me otherwise, I've made my decision. I'm leaving... You're just like my father, a control freak. Nx" I get into the sheets, facing away from him. "Baby" He reaches for me.

"Yoh hhayi marn Samkelo, I said I've made my decision. O nyaka ke go botše ka sizulu? Ngiyahamba!" I click my tongue, pulling the blanket over my head. He chuckles, nx.

"I've extended my trip by two days" He informs. "what do you want me to do with that information?" I roll my eyes whilst packing my clothes into my bag. "Naledi" He warns.

"Ha-eh Samkelo, you don't get to 'Naledi' me, I sacrificed everything so I could be with you and now you want to go on a 'little business trip'. You're selfish marn, mxm. Don't change your plans because of me" I try to walk away from him but he grabs my waist pulling me back to him.

"I'm sorry for 'wasting your time'. But please don't leave, I've managed to stretch my scedule a little just so I can spend time with you, muntu wami" He pecks my lips. I bite my lip, pushing away the smile forming on my lips.

"Samkelo" I lowly whisper. "mhm?" He looks down at me. "Do that nonsense again and I'll leave you without a second thought, I mean it. Don't kick my feelings around like that" I push him away. "Usangithukuthelele?"

"Mxm, what do you think?" I scoff. He wraps his arms around my waist, resting his head on my neck. "You're dangerous" He tenses up at my statement. "ke eng?" I frown. "What'd you say?" He stands up straight.

"You're dangerous, stand over there. I'm trying to be angry, I can see what you're trying to do, o nyaka go ng seduc'a" I point out, He softly smiles. "That's what you meant by I'm dangerous?" I nod in response.

He just hums, leaning down to kiss me. "Sanibonani ekhaya!" I quickly pull away from him, fixing my hair, he lowly laughs behind me. "Ngi-" The familiar voice gets closer. "Hawu, Entle?" My eyes widen.

"Oh... Sabelo, Hi" I nod at his limping leg. "What are you doing here... In my brother's house" I nervously laugh. "Wena what are YOU doing in my house?" Samkelo interjects.

"Haibo mina I came here to see why you're postponing your trip to London, kanti Unale ntokazi e-sexy endlini yakho. Kahle kahle yini ngawe? I told you I liked her. The brothers we have" He complains under his breath. "When you're done with whatever you're doing, leave"

"I came here for your card" He rephrases. "My card?" He frowns in response. "Yebo bhuti omdala. uSima came home drowning in designer bags, nami I want a taste phela." Sabelo winks. "Simamkele has my card?!"

"Yeah, yena no ma have been window shopping for the past three days. Kumnandi ekhaya, even Sbonelo's having a dip of your money, it won't be long before Baba joins. I came to warn you because I care about you" I eye him.

"If you return here, TODAY with my card I might get you back your allowance" Samkelo emphasises. "Deal" Sabelo nods to himself. "Ntomb'enhle, ngizokubona neh?" He winks before walking out. "Where were we?"

"Ha-eh, Samkelo. Woah, not now. I'm still angry" I deadpan. He follows behind me as I walk into his room, purposely slamming the door in his face. He opens it, angrily.

"Sorry, I didn't see you" I lie. "I've been tolerating this attitude for too long" He says to himself. I ignore him, walking into the bathroom, turning on the shower.

I strip of my clothes, getting in, letting the soarching hot water slide down my skin. I sigh in satisfaction, closing my eyes. I feel a pair of arms wrapping around my waist.
