Aarrrrrrrrrghhhhhh!!‖ I want to throw the bloody thing out the window. Thirty minutes! That‘s all I need just thirty minutes of sleep! But Tshedi, she‘s been calling and calling…….

I was born on the same month as Mqhele. He‘s a Leo too, not that he knows what that is. But I‘m a Virgo, I was born on the last week of August. Hlomu is a Virgo too, at least she knows what that is.

You‘ve been scarce, I haven‘t seen you shaking your thang around here in a while,‖ Shaking my thang? I laugh. This girl. ―I‘ve been around, just busy,‖ I say.

Baby I‘ll fix this, I‘m going to fix it I promise,‖ He‘s been saying this all night. “How Chawe? How are you going to fix it? Did you see the look on his face? He was hurt Chawe, I disrespected him.

Screeeechhhhh…… The car stops! Eish… “You are from what??‖ he asks. 109 Oh crap! Really Qhawe? “I‘m from a royal family, my father is a chief,‖ I say. Okay maybe I should have told him this earlier but I don‘t understand why he‘s reacting like this. “And you didn‘t tell me? Why?‖ Whoah! “Just drive please?‖ “No!,‖ he snaps. I‘m surprised he didn‘t do background checks on me and my […]

I‘m going to cry. I‘ll try my best not to but I think it‘s going to happen eventually. I feel like crying right now. I‘ve had my head on his shoulder since we sat here, before the flight even took off. It felt so sad when we left the house. I‘d only been there since yesterday afternoon but it felt like home already. 80 I wanted to drive, but he […]

It rings once. ―Naledi,‖ I keep quiet. ―Naledi….‖ he says again. I take a deep breath. Suddenly I‘m not sure if calling him was a good idea. ―I just called,‖ I say. I‘m a bit emotional. Silence. I think about hanging up but I didn‘t come all the way here to call him and hang up and go back. I can hear him breathing. ―Naledi,‖ he says again. ―I love […]

―Naledi!!‖ He‘s shaking me. What? Why???? Urgh! ―What‘s going on? Why is your phone off? What is wrong with you?‖ Oh no, reality. ―Tsietsi, when did you get here?‖ I ask. He looks worried. ―Now. I used the spare key you gave me. What‘s going on Naledi?‖ To be honest, I don‘t know. I just know I feel like crap and I‘m an emotional wreck. It‘s still dark outside? I […]
