I had barely slept last night, my neck was still hurting from napping on the chair, like always Nombuso woke up looking as beautiful as ever.

She walked towards me and planted her lips unto mine “You slept here again.” It was no question, it was a statement.

“You know me.” I said as I shrugged.

“What was it this time, bombing someone’s safe? Robbing someone or a car high jack?

“I robbed a store.”

She shook her head in disapproval. “When will you get tired of all of this?”

I took her hand in mine “You fell in love with a thief babe.”

“I know, before it turned me on but now I worry about your safety, I don’t want you coming back home in a body bag.”

“I won’t.” I reassured her, as I looked out of the window, looking at those hurrying to work.
