2 weeks ago we had just opened up my pastry shop, I was surprised when Katlego handed me the keys and told me it was mine.

I believe the word happy does not do justice on how ecstatic I was.

The name of the shop is Care’s Pastries written in cursive with a dough and a rolling pan on the side. Sometimes I wondered how I got to have such a man who love me loud both in private and in public.

I even wondered how I got to live my life without him being there, he has been amazing even during our fights he has just been there.

I was covered in flour with a huge smile on my face when Katlego walked in, I smiled even more.

I looked at him like it is the first time I am seeing him, he is tall, slim and dark. He turns every head when he walks by and I can’t help but be proud knowing that he is mine and mine alone.

He holds me by my waist and kisses me on my neck “Hey beautiful.” He pulled away and took one muffin from the cooling tray, normally I would softly slap his hand making him drop whatever I had baked that day but now I am busy rolling the dough.

“What are you doing here?”

“I miss you,” He said taking a bite of his muffin “I came to fetch you.”

It is 17:45 although he has to wait another hour for me he really doesn’t mind, he will sit at the far away corner and look at me as I work and maybe that is why I love him like this, the fact that he can wait for me without any complain that makes me adore him even more.

When I look up I find him already looking at me making me blush, he winks at me and mouths I love you.

I smiles and mouthed I love you too.
