The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 92

PETU'S POV_

Siza and I arrived home. We took in our stuff to my bedroom. She thanked her nanny and let her leave, also giving her a bottle of champagne to enjoy. After I took a bath, I got dressed in a grey bandage maxi skirt and a matching crop top. I slipped on slides, going to the kitchen to start on Sunday lunch. It would be a full seven colours meal. Siza attended to the babies, washing them and feeding them. I think Jackson wasn't even home. I spent some hours cooking and when I was done, went to sit in my room with a glass of champagne. The kids were with me since an hour ago, drawing in their coloring books while the TV played their Gracie's corner. It seemed only baby Maya was entertained by the songs. She sat on the bed next to me, clapping excitedly. Siza came in.

Petu: "Hey."

Siza: "Hey guys." She closed the door, laying on my bed. "Thank you for watching them."

Petu: "You didn't even sleep that long. Are you rested?"

Siza: "Better than earlier. You also need to rest, sis. It was a hectic night."

Petu: "I will maybe a little later."

Siza: "You're friends with very important people ne?" I giggled. "I see why you were so uncomfortable when I spoke about His Highness. He's engaged to your friend."

Petu: "Yeah. Please don't tell anyone about this. They're yet to announce it."

Siza: "I know royal protocol, sis. Sasa is a sweet soul. She's perfect for him. You can just see how he's so in love with her." She giggled.

Petu: "They're really cute, hey?"

Siza: "Very. I hope I'm invited to the wedding."

Petu: "And it might be soon." I sighed, smiling. I can't believe my friend is about to be queen.

Siza: "Babe, why are you angry at your man? All of you just switched up and I didn't get the memo. I was so nervous when Prince Sibonelo started talking to me. It's obvious he was trying to make his girlfriend jealous. What happened?"

Petu: "I don't know about Prince Sibonelo and Zimmy. My situation with Mnqobi is very complicated. Mnqobi is engaged to Nothando."

Siza: "Your best friend, Nothando?"

Petu: "Yep."

Siza: "Petu."

Petu: "She says she's okay with it. She wants me to be with him."

Siza: "Why?"

Petu: "Nothando isn't affectionate. She's not attracted to anyone."

Siza: "Oh. So she's asexual?"

Petu: "What does that mean?"

Siza: "When a person has no sexual attraction or urges or any desire to participate in sexual things. Some people are just born like that. They sometimes only have emotional attraction. They mostly have relationships that don't require sexual activity."

Petu: "That's a thing?"

Siza: "Yep. I had a friend like that when I was still in varsity. It was very traumatic for her I think she even stopped dating. Every guy she dated, would pressure her into sex and because she liked them she would give in but didn't enjoy it. She would cry all the way home. We thought she was lesbian so we set up a date for her to meet this lovely woman, she couldn't even kiss her. Said, she felt uncomfortable. Then we played a game with her. We showed her different variations of people. All kinds of lesbians, fems, studs, butch. None of them appealed to her. No race, nothing. We tried with heterosexual men, nope. Nothing. She only saw a guy and said oh, he's cute but I still wouldn't sleep with him. She's asexual. It took us over a year to figure that out." She chuckled.
