The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 125

KHAYA'S POV_

I'd had a good day catching up with some varsity friends. I was now at Amelia's waiting for Zimmy to join me for dinner. I hadn't heard from Nkwenkwezi since earlier today and I know I shouldn't really be worried but it was kind of worrying because she usually texted me alot. I finally swallowed my pride and dialed her number.

Nkwe: "Hello."

Khaya: "Hi. How are you?"

Nkwe: "Not good."

Khaya: "Oh? What's wrong?"

Nkwe: "I can't talk about it."

Khaya: "Why is that? Maybe I can help."

Nkwe: "You can't. It's family related." Oh, Sikhosana business. A very secretive family with weird occurrences. Wait a damn minute, if Nkosi has that power he used to go into people's minds, does that mean Nkwenkwezi also has some power? Zwe and Sbo always kept this a secret and hid whatever it is but that sky flood was not natural. Did they all have these powers?

Nkwe: "Still there?"

Khaya: "Uhm. Yeah. Yeah I'm still here. If you ever need someone you can trust and just be around, call me."

Nkwe: "Really? You'd take care of me?"

Khaya: "Of course I'd take care of you. I want to make sure you're good. I don't know what this means for us right now but understand that I respect you alot and I like you."

Nkwe: "I like you too, Khaya. Thank you for reassuring me."

Khaya: "You're welcome. What are you up to?"

Nkwe: "I'm going to my sister's room. We're going to watch something."

Khaya: "You already had dinner?"

Nkwe: "Not yet. Probably later."

Khaya: "Hm... So when can I see you."

Nkwe: "Maybe tomorrow."

Khaya: "I'm looking forward to that. This time I want to show you a beautiful restaurant overlooking the sea. Have you been to the beach?"

Nkwe: "No."

Khaya: "Well, please wear a casual summer dress and let your hair down. We'll take a walk across the shoreline. Have the water run up to your pretty toes." She giggled.

Nkwe: "This seems like an excuse to see my toes Khaya." I smiled.

Khaya: "Maybe. But I won't be judgemental if they're not pretty. You can't have it all baby." She laughed.

Nkwe: "Well, I do."

Khaya: "I'll have to see for myself. Please respond to my texts now. You've been ignoring me all day."

Nkwe: "I wasn't ignoring you, I had things to deal with. I'll respond, be patient."

Khaya: "Okay baby. Let me have my dinner, we'll talk on the phone."

Nkwe: "Okay then, bye." I hung up. Zimmy walked in, coming to the table.

Zimmy: "Friend. Hi." I hugged her and she sat down.

Khaya: "How are you?" I signaled for the waiter.

Zimmy: "I'm good. How are you?"

Khaya: "Great. You look fresh. Skin popping and all. How come you're not in Golden Crown for the concert? You were so excited."

Zimmy: "Ah. Got sick last minute." The waiter stood by our table.

Khaya: "Can you get me a mango juice and a bottle of the Region's finest champagne-"
