Little Miss Successful

Part 19

Nkosinaye's POV
I watch them through the mirror as they are both in a deep slumber.Hlelo is laying her head on Amahle's chest and Amahle is securely holding her.They really look cute and cosy together.I have been driving for an hour and fifteen minutes now meaning two and a half more hours to go.I would've used my jet like dad suggested so we can get there faster but I don't like flying,I prefer driving.Which is why I only use it when I really have to.

I continue driving as I think intensely about the matter at hand.I'm feeling a little uneased about this whole situation we are about to face.There's a spiritual war that's coming and the worst part of it all is that we don't know how powerful that person might be.I'm quite positive that we will defeat the enemy but at what cost? What is he or she fighting against us for,exactly?For our power obviously but what else?

As I'm deep in my thoughts I see us approaching a gas station.I drive there then park and wake up my sleepyheads.
Me:Hlelo likababakhe vuka.Amahle ngicela uvuke.
I say and they don't even attempt to wake up.
I sigh and wear my sunglasses,get off my seat,lock the car and head inside.As soon as I enter the sliding glass doors,all the workers and customers start bowing while others gasp in shock.Now this is the attention I hate because of my status.You would swear that we as royal people are not regular people like others.
I nod my head in acknowledgment and they stand up and scurry back and forth not knowing what to do or where to go.One worker comes to me.
Her:My prince
Me:Yebo
Her:Do you need any help with anything?
I don't think they help everyone when they come to buy something so why me,nxx? Fuck their service.
Me:No ,thank you.I'll get what I need really quick.
Her:Are you sure prince,I mean I could get you anyt...
Me:(interrupting)No I said I'm fine.
She bows in disappointment and turns on her heels,leaving.

I walk to the snack aisle and get chips and some other snacks for Hlelo.I then go to the Beverage fridges and get the plain yogurt for me and drinks for us all.I get some nuts and raisins for me and then go to the butcher side of the store and buy some biltong for imama.I then go to the pastry side.
Woman:(stuttering)He...he...hello my prince,wha...w...what can I...I...I...get for you?
Me:Can I please have 3 steak and kidney pies and 1 beef burger pie?
Woman:C...c...com...coming right up
Wase wathintitha umuntu.Hay cha abantu bayacasula vele.She gives me my orders and I go to the till. I pay up and as I'm about to head out someone shouts.
Woman:Nkosana!
Me:Yhini?
Woman:Can I...I...please take a picture w...w...with you?
I sigh but agree nonetheless.We take the picture and I go back to the car. I find Amahle who is wide awake and Hlelo who is still sleeping.

Me:Sawbona makaHlelo.
Amahle:(yawning)Sure.
I frown at how she responded back as I look at her through the rear view mirror.She is rubbing her sleepy eyes and yho umuhle.
Me:Greet me kahle phela.
Amahle:(rolling eyes)Yhu ha.a bruh ndicela ukutya kwam,andilambe!
Me:Greet me properly
Amahle:Kutyiwani na sana?
Me:(defeatedly)Here's your food bruh.
I say while putting emphasis on the "bruh"she likes saying so much.I pass the plastic bag to her and she smiles and rubs her belly.She is so adorable ngeke makanje! She grabs the plastic and takes out the burger pie.
Me: Cha,that's mine sthandwa sami.
Amahle:Well it's mine now
She says as she takes the first bite and starts eating.
Me:(sigh)You have no respect for me,whatsoever.
I say as I start the car.She giggles and starts pressing on her phone.

Me:Please pass me a pie and a cold drink.
She does so and I start digging in like how she is.
Me:Please wake Hlelo up,she has to eat.
Amahle:No ulele umtwana,don't you know that it's rude to wake someone up from their sleep?
Me:But she has to eat
Amahle:No,I'm not doing that.If you want to wake her up,do it yourself.
Me:(threateningly)Amahle
Amahle:Nkosinaye
I just shake my head...she just has to be stubborn.I don't like how disrespectful she is and how she doesn't listen to what I say.Yes she's super sexy when she's arguing with me but she needs to have a full stop at times.I need to fix that about her before she gets out of hand.
We finish our food after a few minutes of silence. I keep on looking at her in the mirror and she looks so radiant ,effortlessly. There's just that pull towards her that demands my eyes to focus on her.After a moment of treating my eyes to a good view,I break the silence by asking...
Me:So how are you ?
Amahle:I am okay I guess
Me:You guess?
Amahle:Yes,I don't know how I am really.Yonke into nje yimix masala.
Me:Mmmm.How do you feel about this whole situation we are about to face?
Amahle:I'm feeling anxious and kind of excited.Anxious because I don't know what to expect and excited because I want to see where this whole life will take us in the future.
Me:Mmmm.Are you ready for this?
Amahle:No one can ever be ready for the unknown but I guess I'm just going with the flow.We are going to be strengthened right?
Me:Yebo.Who are you Amahle?
Amahle:Haybo njani?
Me:Who are you Amahle?
Amahle:I'm Amahle Dlam...
Me:(interrupting)I know that already.
Amahle:What exactly do you know?
She asks as she puts her phone away.
Me:Come sit here in front if you want me to tell you.
