I was really bored with my life and I had a bunch of ideas bubbling and brewing in my mind. So, I decided to create this book. The imagines vary from, Riverdale, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and many more.
You can make requests if you wa...
The club was filled to the brim with customers and fans, I guess you could call them. I was so excited and my attire looked positively stunning.

This wasn't my first time performing in front of an audience but for some reason, I felt nervous. Like tonight was going to be different somehow.
I shook the thoughts out of my head as soon as the song started playing. I began dancing along to it and started singing.
"Xa bendino mama Besendine qhiy'ebotshwe ngaphambili Okwenene ndiyahamba Okwenene ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam' Xa bendino mama Besendine qhiy'ebotshwe ngaphambili Okwenene ndiyahamba Okwenene ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam'," I began and already everybody was cheering so loudly.
Xa bendino mama Besendine qhiy'ebotshwe ngaphambili Okwenene ndiyahamba Okwenene ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam' Xa bendino mama Besendine qhiy'ebotshwe ngaphambili Okwenene ndiyahamba Okwenene ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam'."
The crowd was feeding off of my energy and I was loving it. I started dancing more excitedly and the audience joined in.
Ndiyagodola Ndiyagodol' incinci naleRagi mnta kaMamam' IYhu ndiyahamba IYhu! Ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam' Ndiyagodola Ndiyagodol' incinci naleRagi mnta kaMamam' IYhu ndiyahamba IYhu! Ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam' Ndiyagodola Ndiyagodol' incinci naleRagi mnta kaMamam' IYhu ndiyahamba IYhu! Ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam' Ndiyagodola Ndiyagodol' incinci naleRagi mnta kaMamam' IYhu ndiyahamba IYhu! Ndibhek'eGoli sana lwam', "I finished.
I swear, I've never heard the audience cheer so loudly in my life.
"Enkosi," I thanked them. "Enkosi kakhulu. Ndizonibona mandin'bona. (Thank you very much. I'll see you when I see you)"
And with that I walked off the stage and began celebrating when I was out of the audience's sight.
Deciding I needed a drink, I went to the bar and asked for my usual. People walked up to me and congratulated me on my performance. I thanked them and they went on their merry way.
"You were amazing up there," a British accent told me.
I looked to my side and saw a cute white guy with curly black hair and pretty brown eyes.
I nodded in appreciation and went back to drinking.
"That language you sang in, it's Xhosa, right?" he asked.
"Ewe, (yes)," I answered.
"It's a beautiful language," he said. "I love your outfit."
"Nami ndiyayithanda, (I also like it)," I told him.
His face was full of confusion, which I admit was incredibly adorable but I wasn't really interested in a one night stand.
"Can you speak English?" he asked.
"Mandifuna, (when I want to)," I replied with a shrug.
"Right, sorry to have bothered you," he said awkwardly then he left.
Shame, man. Poor guy, he seemed nice but you couldn't be too careful.
TIME SKIP
It's been at least five weeks and this guy was still here. He just wasn't giving up. I liked that about him. I also learnt that his name was Jack and he was here in South Africa shooting a show called Noughts & Crosses.
I hardly talked back to him though and when I did, it was always in Xhosa. That never stopped him though. I wonder why.
Tonight was my final performance at the club. I had been scouted by a music producer and was leaving for Sandton tomorrow so I decided to wear my best traditional attire and give it my all.

"
Molweni! (Hello!)," I greeted the audience.
They all cheered and I smiled at them.
"Masiqaleni, (let's get started)," I told the band.
They began playing the song that got me here in the first place.
"Xa bendino mama," I started.
AFTER THE PERFORMANCE
I sat at the bar, having my usual drink when - right on cue - Jack sat next to me.
"Sowu'buyile futhi? (you're back again?)" I asked, clearly amused.
"Ewe," he responded.
I froze in my spot and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Sendiyakwazi ukuthetha isiXhosa, (I know how to speak Xhosa now)," he paused. "Kacinci. (a little)."
I was still shocked so I didn't say anything.
"Ndicimba umhle, (I think you're beautiful)," he spoke brokenly. "Cela ukukhipa? (can I pleas take you on a date?)"
It was then that I decided to speak up.
"You can speak Xhosa?" I asked.
"You can speak speak English?" he asked back, just as shocked as me.
"Of course I can speak English. It's one of our 11 official languages."
"Then why did you always respond in Xhosa?" he asked. "Do you do that to everyone?"
"Nope, just cute foreigners," I answered with a shrug.
"You think I'm cute?"
"Very," I told him.
"Then, can I please take you on a date?" he asked.
"I'm going to Sandton tomorrow and I'm gonna be there for a while but, as soon as I'm done, we can."
"I'm leaving tomorrow," he said. "We're done shooting."
"Then how about we go out tonight?" I offered.
He stopped to think about it playfully. I giggled and gently punched his arm.
