Zekhethelo Speaks.

Today is the day she takes me out. I send her a text that my Uber driver is dropping me off by the food court entrance. She replies and says she’s already at the mall. Southgate mall.

I get there and walk towards Steers. She’s sitting just beside the lone seats.

She is well dressed in a blue jean, a white tshirt neatly tucked in, white sneakers and a chain cascading down her breasts beautifully. 

“Hey.” I slip down the seat next to her.

“Hey. Movies or food first?” She smiles at me

“A movie sounds good.” I reply

She stands up, and we walk by the movies. I insist on paying for the movie we will watch and the snacks. I get popcorn and a cool drink, she gets soda water and caramel popcorn.

We settle on the cinema. We are watching a chick flick. This feels very much like a date. 

Halfway through the movie, she drops her head on my shoulder and watches the movie silently.

Her breathing is shallow and her leg is draped over mine. She looks so beautiful and peaceful.

I drape my arm around her, and pull her closer. She looks up at me, her eyes searching mine, I lick my lips. She drops her head back down quickly.

Damn! I should’ve kissed her.
