Nombuso

I was still spooked about what had happened earlier today, it was still a huge shock to me that he was out.

“Are you okay?” I looked at Ayabonga and nodded “It sure doesn’t seem like you look okay, you barely touched the fried chicken that you love so much. What’s going on sweet cheeks?”

I sighed “Nothing really, I just had a long day at work.” I said as I forced myself to eat the chicken. “And your day?” I asked as I tried to shift the focus on me, he started talking about the clients he had today, but my mind was elsewhere even though I tried not to think about him, It felt so hard not too.

I pulled myself out of my thoughts as my phone vibrated, my heart pounded on my chest when I saw the unknown number with a message that read : I know you hate me right now but can you please meet me tomorrow at 12:00 p.m at the park we usually went too xxx

I switched off my phone and turned to look at Ayabonga “Who was that?” He asked as he drank his cold drink. I tried to act nonchalant “Zinhle, she asked me to cover for her tomorrow at work but I’ll text her later and tell her I cannot since it is my day off tomorrow.”

“Okay. Are you down for a movie? we can cuddle.” He asked as he took our empty plates to the kitchen. “Not today babe.” I half shouted for him to hear “I’m tired today, maybe tomorrow?”

“Okay, but I’ll be in the lounge watching a movie you could join me later if you feel like it.”

I went into the bedroom and looked at the message again and again and it was a question of whether I was going there or not.
