“+R5000.00 money into saving account 4567…. available balance R9050 ref: Go and buy something lovely, I’m taking you out on a date tonight be ready on 19h30. Love you bits K” I nearly dropped the phone in astonishment it’s been a while since I received money from him let alone a date invitation? I quickly fixed myself and got ready for shopping plus it’s been a while since I got facials, manis, padis you name them.

After going in several shops I settled for a white strapless tight dress with a slit just above the knee which I’ll pair up with my gold high heeled sandals and my gold clutch, I decides to also do my hair and nails I settled for a short curled blonde hairstyle since I needed a break from long hair. I did my nails and rushed home to prepare supper for Kefiloe, I quickly prepared rice with a simple chicken stew and coleslaw.

It it short break and we are sitting in class having snack since we didn’t feel going outside I guess this is the right time to asl her what’s eating her up. “Do you realise it’s almost a year since we got out together to do something fun outside school?” ” I know Nyiko it’s just that I have been busy with stuff you know” she says avoiding eye contact, “You are not dating aren’t you? ” I eye her suspiciously. “No duh you’ll be the first to know” she says smacking me on my hand “How about a sleepover at your house this weekend? We could do our nails and facials I’ll bring the stuff” she says excitedly “Ok deal!” I say as we hug happily.

I take a long relaxing bubble bath as the front door opens must be Kefi coming back from school since she insisted on taking a cab back home, “Mom I’m home!” She says screaming. “I’m going out with your dad make sure you lock all the doors and windows, there’s supper in the microwave” I say tying my white robe going to my room. “Ok mom enjoy” she disappears in her room. I expertly do my make-up and dress up by 19:30 I was finished as I hear a car pulling up in the driveway. “Good evening my gorgeous lady I’ll be your chauffeur for tonight” He said giving me his hand.
