When I got back home, there was this stupid grin on my face that I can’t even wipe from my face.

“Can we do lunch tomorrow?” He asked as he walked me outside, I had planned to say no. I had all the plan on my mind ready to just tell him but my mouth betrayed me and I said it was okay.

I don’t even know why I agreed, it’s not like I am single but I still said yes to lunch, but it’s just lunch what harm can one lousy lunch do?

“Hey baby.” Langa said as walked in and kissed me on the cheek. He dropped his bag on the floor and went straight to the bedroom.

I chopped the carrots busy humming to a tune, today I didn’t yell for him to pick his backpack and put it away nicely or to pick after himself or take out the trash it was like I didn’t even notice him at all.

The following day a knock came on the door and a man who is wearing a suit stood there “I am here to pick you up.”

“For what?”

“Lunch wuth Mr Thobane.”

How? I wondered how did he know I stay here? The guy led me into a black Mazda, when we reached our destination he opened the door for me, when I got out I saw Thobane standing at the door.

I looked at the restaurant and smiled a little when I saw that it is koreans restaurant. “You look beautiful.” He opens the door for me and took me to our reserved table.

“How did you know that this is my favorite place?”

“Let’s just say, when I’m interested in something or someone I study everything about them.”

I smiled, “What else do you know?” I was curious.

He placed the menu down and looked at me straight into my eyes “I know that you can’t stand the smell of tea it majes you nauseous, you can’t stand being in crowded places you easily get suffocated, I know that your dream vacation is Paris, and your favorite colour is dark blue.”

My mouth was now hanging open “You know all that.”

He smiled “I told you, I study everything.”

I was impressed, in fact I was beyond impressed, I barely knew this guy and he already knows so much about me if I was someone probably I would be panicking wondering how and why he knew so much about me but I was not, not even for a little.
