Zinhle's POV

(one week later...)

This past week has been amazing. Khathu and I have gotten closer, and I love it for us. Now I am look forward to this trip. So Khathu and I are going somewhere local because my father is sponsoring the trip. Isn't it crazy how the guy claims to be broke but he is still busy sponsoring trips. I mean also Khathu's dad is sponsoring this trip but still why is my father doing it. Anyways speaking of my parents, I haven't spoken about them since the lobola day and plan to keep it that way.

They keep contacting me but they don't wanna get the hint. I only speak to my sibling and that's all imma do. They even went to a point where they call Khathu to speak to me but I still decline. People may say that I am being harsh, but I don't care they always do this and expect me to forgive them and to be honest I am not doing this.

Anyways I am vlogging a get ready with me to travel vlog. Basically, doing maintenance, but a few things and just yapping. But again, I won't post the vlog soon maybe in the next few months but nah. If we last till the white wedding, I'll probably post it after our weddings. I know I'm thinking to far but again I am all in fully. Anyways I did nails so I got red nails (long almond nails), I did white toe nails, I got waxed fully, and I got a curly wig installed (brownish colour). I bought a few toiletries and bikinis and shades. If you haven't noticed this is my first holiday in ages. I'm so excited sana!

I get home and find Khathu sitting on the sofa watching soccer.

"Hey Khathu"I say taking my sit next to him.

"WOW, you look absolutely stunning." He says looking memorised by my look. I forgot to mention this is first time seeing me in a wig that's why he is looking at me like that.

"Thank you, bestie," I say giggling.

"I ordered food for us because I assumed you would be tired from everything you've been doing today." He says

"Thank you. Yea I'm tired yho. To think I'm not done packing yet." I tell him while he messages my feet.

"I don't know why you ladies want to take the entire world on a week-long vacation." He says jokingly

"I need pictures hau" I say

"Are you going to be vlogging the entire trip?" he questions

"Why are you asking?" I ask

"I want us to be fully present on this trip so we can bond even more and take us to go to the next level in our relationship. And I fear that vlogging will hinder that." He says

"I was planning to vlog some moments not all. But I'll take in consideration your concern...actually how about I vlog activities, some lunches and give updates onto what we are doing?" I ask

" how about you vlog the first 3 days and not vlog the other days to be fully present with me?" he brings up

" I like that idea more. Yea that's fine." I say he smiles. As we continue chilling our food arrives. We ate watching our series after that we go to our respective rooms and sleep. Truth be told I am ready to share a room with him but I'm waiting for tomorrow and tell him I'm ready for the next step.

( the next morning)

Its currently 4am our flight to Cape Town we decided on a local trip first then international next. Anyways our flight is at 8am but I have a lot to do so I woke up early to do my tasks. I finish packing my bags. I take only one camera and SD card. From the conversation I had with Khathu I'm only taking one camera and if my SD card is full then its full. I love how we are able to communicate with one another and compromise to make one another happy.

Once I was done I take a shower pack the toiletries in my carry on because I was using it. I wore a sweatpants and a hoodie his hoodie to be exact. I started wearing his clothes recently and I love it and he secretly loves it too. And I wear my yeezy slides and my apple watch.

The time is 6:35am I see Khathu making cornflakes and makes me some. " Good morning bestie boo" I say in a cheerful tone.

" hey bestie." He says handing me my food and taking a sit.

" are you ready for today?" I ask

"yes I am excited I won't lie."

" me too" we speak for an hour till we call an uber and we go to the airport and check in and wait for our flight.

"ZINHLE HEY! ZINHLEE." we turn to see who is calling me. Khathu holds me closer to me because a man is calling me. when I realise who it is I want to jump off a cliff.

"Hi Zinhle how are you long time no see." He says with a smirk.

" Hi Lwandle, how are you" mastering a very fake smile. I feel Khathu's grip tighten around me.

"Who is he?" he says with distaste

" well this is Khathu my hus-" I am cut off before I can finish my statement

" I am her husband. How can we help indoda?" Khathu says clearly annoyed

" Well I am Lwandle her ex-boyfriend." He says with a smirk. And right now, I wish the earth could swallow me whole.
