Khanyisile's POV:
The group gathered in Nkanyezi's living room, surrounded by snacks and drinks. Khanyisile, Nkanyezi, her brothers Muziwakhe and Nkosinathi, and Philasande were all excited to spend the evening together.
They started with a board game, and Khanyisile found herself paired with Philasande against Nkanyezi and her brothers. The competition was fierce, with Nkanyezi and her brothers teasing Khanyisile and Philasande mercilessly.
As the game intensified, Philasande showed off his strategic skills, and Khanyisile was impressed. Nkanyezi and her brothers, on the other hand, were a force to be reckoned with, and the trash talk began to fly.
"You think you can take us down, Phila?" Muziwakhe joked.
"Oh, we're just getting started," Philasande replied with a grin.
Khanyisile laughed and rolled her eyes. "Nina kodwa."
...
As the game night drew to a close, Khanyisile felt a pang of disappointment. She didn't want the night to end, didn't want to say goodbye to Philasande just yet. But as they packed up the games and said their goodbyes, Philasande whispered something in her ear that made her heart skip a beat...
"Want to grab coffee with me tomorrow?"
Khanyisile's heart raced. Was this a date? She smiled slyly. "Maybe."
Philasande grinned. "I'll take that as a yes."
As they exchanged numbers, Khanyisile's hand brushed against Philasande's, sending a spark of electricity through her body. She couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation.
"Hey, I'll walk you out," Philasande said, gesturing towards the door.
As they stepped outside, the cool night air enveloped them, and Khanyisile felt a sense of comfort and ease with Philasande that she couldn't ignore.
"I had a great time tonight," Philasande said, looking down at her with a warm smile.
"Nami," Khanyisile replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
Philasande leaned in, his face inches from hers. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."
Khanyisile's heart raced as she met his gaze. "Me too."
And with that, Philasande turned and walked away, leaving Khanyisile to wonder what the next day would bring.
