The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 28

SASA'S POV_

I woke up in the morning, stretching. My bed was empty. Nkosi had left, not sure when. There was a little note on the pillow. "I love watching you fall asleep in my arms. Leaving is so hard. I love you." He had the funniest handwriting. I woke up smiling, taking my phone to call him. He answered immediately.

Nkosi: "My snoring baby."

Me: "Don't even start." I giggled. "Hello."

Nkosi: "How did you sleep."

Me: "Much better. When did you leave?"

Nkosi: "Around 4 in the morning."

Me: "How did you even come in."

Nkosi: "Did what I hate doing the most. Whispered. But it's worth it. I couldn't sleep without holding you."

Me: "Thank you for coming but you need to be careful Nkosi."

Nkosi: "I will never let you cry for me, baby."

Me: "I wasn't even crying."

Nkosi: "You wanted to." I smiled.

Me: "What are you doing today?"

Nkosi: "Anything to get away from my family. I'll be at the new res for most of the day. I wish we could go somewhere for the weekend."

Me: "I don't think that's a good idea. What if your dad sends the whole nation to look for you? Absolutely not."

Nkosi: "I hate the idea that Sibonelo is still creeping around you. He should've backed off. He can't still be suspecting."

Me: "I don't know but what I do know is, I don't have to pretend with him anymore. You were right, I don't like him. He's despicable."

Nkosi: "Most royals are."

Me: "But you're not that horrible."

Nkosi: "I am. Just not to you."

Me: "I find that really hard to believe."

Nkosi: "Well, I don't know what to tell you my love ."

Me: "Let me get up and have a coffee. I'll text you."

Nkosi: "Okay my love."

Me: "I love you."

Nkosi: "I love you too." I hung up, getting out of bed. After using the bathroom, I made myself a cup of coffee, got dressed in my usual leggings and t-shirt, made my bed and sat down with my school work. I wasn't in the mood for my assignment, yes I'd finished it but there was a lot of work in it that needed to be amended. It can't be today. I revised the work we learnt throughout the week, making some notes. Amahle walked in with Petu.

Me: "Morning."

Ama: "Hello."

Petu: "Hey love. Aren't you going to school?"

Me: "Not today. My classes are cancelled."

Petu: "I so wish to be you. At least I'm coming out early. How about you Amy?"

Ama: "I've only one class today. Can Notha come here Sasa?"

Me: "I don't know Amy, Notha is your friend. She and I don't gel. I don't think she likes me."

Ama: "Notha doesn't like anyone but she also doesn't have class today."

Me: "Fine. We can try again but she needs to be a little more open."

Ama: "Unlikely but I'll pass the message on. I'm going to shower." She left for the bathroom.

Petu: "What are we doing later today?"
