I don't think it's just me but he answers his questions like they shouldn't be any more asked. I believe that now it's the best time to know the person I think I have feelings for.

"Who are you?" he smiles unexpectedly
I'm serious about my question, I want to know him.

"I have never answered such a question before, I don't know what to say" Tebogo laughs

I give him a sad look, he stops laughing.

"I'm Tebogo Seroka and I'm scared of having to give my heart to someone and expect theirs in return. It's stupid but true..." he explains

I feel like he stopped before elaborating further, that's not how you introduce yourself to someone. Even if it is, it has to be the weirdest thing to say.

"Are you hungry, I will cook for you" Tebogo as he takes me to the kitchen
I do not think it has ever been used before, it looks so clean and everything looks new.

He takes off his blazer and place it on the chair, I think he wants to cook for real.

"Relax I can cook" he reads my expression and now we are both laughing

I'm not doubtful but I think I have to see and taste the food before making conclusions. That reminds me, I didn't finish my work today since I left with the lunatic.

"You need my help" I take a chopping board and a knife but he take them both from me

"No, you can have your tour of the house, do anything I don't care just be busy" Tebogo pushes me away

I burst into laughter, he's the one who brought me here why is he now chasing me out. He is now focused on his food, I have to be busy so I walk away to the rooms downstairs. I'm now just opening and closing doors because I really don't know if I have to get in and touch things, everything downstairs is enough to make you feel like you've seen enough. I have to climb these stairs that curve all the way around to another enormous living room and other rooms. My phone is now ringing from my pocket, it's K. Why is he calling me at this time? I won't answer so I'll put it on silence.

Jesus I think I'm in the main bedroom, well every room looks like the main bedroom to me but this one is alluring, I want to jump on the white fur mat and sleep Pronto. My phone is ringing and it's K again.

"What?" I answer

"Tshinondiwa" He mutters

"What Khodani?" I'm irritated

"I am supposed to be in court tomorrow, I need you with me as my PA" K mumbled

"But I'm not your PA" I state

"What the fuck Tshinondiwa, you will be available tomorrow at 09h00 am at Polokwane Court right?" K says

"Is that a question?" I'm unsure

"No, I'll see you then" K hangs up

Whatever, I will continue with my tour as if he didn't just almost ruined my mood. I will finish my work tomorrow, I'm too busy with this house tonight.

"You took your time didn't you?" Tebogo states

He has a tendency of asking rhetorical questions, I wonder why? Oh well the house is so beautiful so I did take my time admiring everything around. It reminded me of when I was younger with my friends, when passing a beautiful house we'd say  'this is my future home' well the first one to say it is lucky enough to flex at that moment talking about everything they are looking at as if it's theirs.
