The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 110

SIBONELO'S POV _

Finally we'd made it back home in the evening. The lunch at the vineyard was nice. Our families seem to be blending and that was amazing. I sat in the lounge, drinking my whiskey, watching the TV. I don't know what I was watching but it was distracting at least. I was trying to resist the urge of touching my phone because I know I'd want to check what she was up to. The fact that she's a few streets away had me reeling. I could drive up, or even walk to Mnqobi's house and see her. I wasn't going to though.

Biyela: "So, Khaya. You have a date with a princess?" Khaya laughed.

Khaya: "That was very shocking. I was not expecting her to ask."

Zwe: "Do you want to go?"

Khaya: "Now that I have permission, yes."

Zwe: "She's a Sikhosana, young prince. They're bound to be difficult to handle."

Khaya: "Don't worry Bhut Zwe, I have all the training. Right Bhut Sbo?"

Zwe: "Sibonelo?"

Sibo: "Hm?"

Biyela: "What's wrong?"

Sibo: "Nothing. I'm going upstairs, I need headache pills-"

Biyela: "The medicine cabinet is right here in the kitchen." I got up and walked up the stairs to my mother's room. She was in bed, looking at her tablet. I took off my shoes and got in bed.

Queen: "What's wrong baby?"

Sibo: "I have a headache."

Queen: "And what else."

Sibo: "Zwelethu gave away my girlfriend to his friend."

Queen: "Why would he do something like that?"

Sibo: "He obviously doesn't like me."

Queen: "Now you know that's not true. Zwelethu is your brother. What happened?"

Sibo: "I don't want to talk about it mama, I have a headache."

Queen: "Come." She hugged me. "tell me why Zwelethu did that."

Sibo: "Remember the girl I told you I liked. Well, we had a bit of a fight. She then cut off contact with me. Zwe told me to beg her and I did what he said. I bought her flowers, I wrote a note. She told me that she doesn't want my begging or anything else. We must keep everything professional. She doesn't want to be involved with me."

Queen: "But Sibonelo you know better than to sleep with people you work with. No matter how much you like them. Look how irrational your business decision making has been? You've been stressed and awful to be around. And I know you've made working with you very difficult for her."

Sibo: "I'm sorry."

Queen: "Why are you sorry to me? You didn't hurt me. I'm just disappointed. My love, you need to be honest with yourself. How then did this get to Zwe giving her away?"

Sibo: "We went out last night and she was there. Melo likes her and he asked me for her number, I refused. He then told Zwe and Zwe gave it to him." She kissed my head.

Queen: "Maybe it's for the best. Hm? You're not ready for a relationship Sibonelo, are you?"

Sibo: "Yes, but why can't she wait?"

Queen: "Wait for what? No that's not fair. She's a human being too. She doesn't deserve being strung along to no end. There's no definite future with you. She can't trust that after waiting, you'll choose her. So why must she wait? What are you willing to sacrifice now, to show her you'll be committed to her?"
