CHAPTER ONE.
Nkosazana.

The sun was burning me reflecting straight

through the window. I turned to the other side of
the wall but it was not so long as my mom shook
me so I could wake up and get ready for school. I
groaned slowly opening my eyes as I came face to
face with her cute self. My mom is your church lady
kind of a woman,she loves her bible hence
sometimes I think she loves her bible more than my
dad.
‘Good morning baby,you have to get ready for
school so wake up’ She says with her warmly smile
which always warms my heart.
‘Good morning Mom’ I say as my eyes landed on
the clock that was hanged on the wall. It was 5:00.
Did she have to wake me up this early? But I'm
talking about my Mother here.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Mom I'm waking up now,so please’ I say as she

knows that I'm asking for her to leave. She smiles
walking out of my room. I sighed getting out of the
bed as I walked over to the bathroom. I took a
warm bath while humming my favorite song. I
then got out heading back to my bedroom. I found
my uniform neatly folded on top of the bed. I
dressed up as I took my backpack walking out out of
my bedroom heading to the kitchen. My mom was
preparing some breakfast so I placed my backpack
on top of the kitchen counter as I got closer to her.
‘Mommy how are you doing?’I asked since I didn't
ask how she was doing when she was in my
bedroom
‘I'm doing just fine,Are you ready for your
Matric?’She asked but honestly I wasn't up for it.
Yes at first I was but now I'm a little bit nervous
‘Honestly mom I am so nervous since I don't know
what to Expect’ I say releasing a sigh.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I get you, but you will be fine’ She says giving me

that warmly smile as it instantly melt my heart.
‘I guess so, Where's Dad?’ I asks looking around
because it's unusual for him not to be in the kitchen
around this hour.
‘He's getting ready for this important meeting’ She
says and I nodded sitting down as she placed a
plate with breakfast in front of me.
‘Thank you Mother’ I say smiling as I started
eating.
‘Good morning family’ Says dad coming from
upstairs. I smiled revealing my dimples I can tell
with the smile I have just flashed. I love my parents
guys and there's nothing anyone can do about that.
‘Morning Daddy how are you?’ I asked before I
took a bite on my toast.
‘I'm fine sweetheart,how about you?’ He asks
planting a kiss on my cheek.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I'm good Father,You have a meeting?’ I asks and

he nodded.
‘Yes,Are you ready for Matric?’ He asks and I
shugg my shoulders because it looks like everyone is
asking me that and honestly I don't know how to
feel about Grade 12.
‘I rea..I'm nervous’ I say honestly and he smiled a
little.
‘You will be fine’ He says and I nodded returning
a smile
‘Sandra, Nkokheli is coming for dinner’ Dad says
to my mom and I really have no idea on who they
are talking about.
‘Oh I last saw him Few Months back, I didn't
know he was back’ Mom commented to what Dad
has just said
‘He just came back and He is here for business’
Dad says and I think that was my cure to leave

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Parents I think I must go now,I don't want to be

late in my first day in Grade 12’ I say getting off
the stool making my way to the kitchen counter to
take my backpack.
‘Goodbye everyone’ I shouted already making my
way out. My School is Few streets away from home
so I walk,It's no big dead honestly. Most people
treat me like I am a snob but I'm not. My family is
rich but not that Rich; they are normal since they
don't earn millions. I finally made my way inside
the school yard. Learners were screaming at their
friends while others are surrounding themselves
with different gossips. I shook my head as I made
my way to the Class. My friend was at the far
corner listening to music by the look of things
because she had headset on.
‘Hello You big head;How are you?’ I asks smiling
at her as she grinned standing up. She quickly
pulled me in a tight hug which I returned back.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

We pulled out as we looked at each other then we

cracked out of laughter
‘God I missed your stupid ass, How was your
Holidays?’ She asks as she sat down as I did too.
‘They were great, thought you know how my Mom
and Dad are’ I say rolling my eyes and she
chuckled.
‘Yeah, I know’ She says.
‘How way yours?How was Cape Town?’ I asks
and she smiled,I knew there was something to tell
just right there.
‘You have something to tell me Right?’ I grinned
looking at her as she was smiling non stop.
‘Well I met this guy and boy he is hot’ She says and
I snort narrowing my eyes at her.
‘You like him?’ I asks
‘Oh course I do, I mean.. you should see the guy’
She says showing her white teeth. I don't want to

fall in-love. I was about to say something when the

bell rang indicating that we must go to the
Assembly so we stood up heading to the assembly.
We were standing in lines as the Principal walked
to the front.
‘Good morning learners, and welcome Grade 10s.
This is a wonderful year I mean look how beautiful
you all look’ The Principal says making the
learners to chant in amusement.
‘Quiet learners, I would like to announce few
things. I hope that we all going to participate and
do as the code of conduct says. I don't want to see
blue hairstyles or anything colorful’ The Principal
continues.
She read everything that was written in the Code
Of Conduct before she instructed us to pray so we
did that.
‘Thank you, you may go to Class’ She says as we all
made our way to our classrooms.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

I sat with my Friend as the Classes started. It was

now after school time to go home. I pack my
backpack as I made my way out of the Classroom
with Carol following me
‘So your man’ I bought up the topic but she brushed
it off by changing the topic until we arrived in our
streets.
‘I will see you’ I say waving at her and she did the
same as I made my way inside the house.
‘Good day Mommy’ I say planting a kiss on her
cheek.
‘Good day my beautiful daughter how was your
day?’ She asks as I throw myself on the couch
‘My day was great Mom, how about yours?’ I asks
smiling at her.
‘Great too, I have to prepare some breakfast’ My
eyes traveled to the Clock on the wall so I could see
the time. It's still early for her to start dinner.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Mom did you see the time? It's early for you to
start with dinner’ I say and she giggles.
‘Oh Your Father's best friend is coming for dinner,
so I'm preparing something special’ She says and I
nodded.
‘Should I help you out?’ I asks but she shook her
head, My Mom loves her kitchen as he doesn't
allow anyone to cook in it
‘Let me go to my room then, I will come down
when it is time for dinner’ I say already making my
way to my room.
I changed to my casual clothes as I took out my
Laptop,so I could watch a movie. After was my
favorite Movie Hence it's still my favorite Movie.
You should try the After novels all of them by Anna
Todd. I became so eager to have them the moment I
laid my eyes on them. Then there is my Crush in
that Movie; Hero Tiffin-Finnes. That guy is
something else I tell you.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

I was woken up by some sort of noise, I cannot

believe I fell asleep while watching a Movie. I got
off from the bed heading to the bathroom. I rinsed
my face then brushed my teeth. After doing that I
walked downstairs in my Tracksuits and socks
only. I froze of the staircase when my eyes landed
on this guy,he was so handsome that I even gasped
for air. I took a look at him and he was really
handsome and he smelled power. I slowly walked
down still with my eyes at him. He turned to my
way as it took him few seconds before he looked the
other way. I sighed taking a deep breath as I have
finally approached them. I couldn't look at him, I
failed decimal to have my eyes on him.
‘Oh Nkokheli this is my beautiful daughter
Nkosazana and Nkosazana this is your Uncle
Nkokheli, We've been friends from High school’
My Father says as Nkokheli shook my hands

sending those sparks to my spine. I quickly pulled

away as he cleared his troat.
‘She's so beautiful,just like her Mother’ Nkonkheli
commented as I felt his eyes on me making me to
feel so uncomfortable.
‘Yes, we can go settle around the table’ My Mother
says as we all walked over to settle around the
table. Nkokheli sat next to me as it became more
uncomfortable
‘Nkosazana please bless the food’ My Father
instructed me as I closed my eyes blessing the food.
After that we all dig in while they were talking
and laughing here and there.
‘Nkosazana are you Fine?’ Mom asks me and I
shook my head.
‘Can I please go and sleep. I'm not feeling too well’
I say tilting my head to the other side.
‘It's fine you can go’ Mom says and I quickly stood
up as I took a quick glance at Nkokheli before I

walked upstairsto my room. I breath in and out

because WOW

CHAPTER TWO.
Nkosazana.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

I was woken up by the ringing alarm,i tried to pull

the covers to cover my head but reality hit me that
it's School. I kicked the covers as I got off from the
bed heading to the bathroom. I got inside the bath
as the warm water hit my back and I closed my
eyes. Nkokheli's face flashed through my mind
followed by his bod. His toxic scents and thick voice
wich is a bit Husky. Those kissable lips as I found
myself biting my lower lips. I sighed as I opened my
eyes getting out of the bath. I head back to my
bedroom and as always, my uniform was on top of
the bed as the bed was neatly made.
I dressed up as I took my backpack walking over to
the kitchen. My Father was there with my Mother
as they were busy kissing each other. These two acts
like teenagers sometimes and I wish to have this
kind of love if I ever fall in love.
‘Good Morning Parents’ I say kissing both their
cheeks.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Good morning, You are up early today I didn't

have to wake you up’ Mom says and I giggled.
‘I'm growing up Mommy’ I say placing my
backpack on top of the kitchen counter. My mom got
out of my father's grip as she went to check her pots.
My Mom is a housewife while my Dad is a
business man owning a construction company and a
restaurant that's it. No other Companies and all,as
I said we ain't that rich or let me say they ain't that
rich.
‘Great,since you want to be a Lawyer. I asked
Nkokheli to go with you in Court’ Dad says and I
jumped in excitement that I almost bumbed my
head on the cabinet.
‘Daddy you are the best’ I say as I hugged him he
chuckled as I pulled out.
‘I'm glad you are happy, He will Fetch you at
school tomorrow’ He says and I widen my smile.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Thank you Daddy’ I say because wow this is

something big for me. I will be going to court with
Mr Handsome and a part of me was nervous
‘It's nothing’ He says and my mom gave me a plate
with breakfast
If was over 18,I was going to attend the Court
Cases but they don't allow people who are under 18
years.
I ate my food as they were busy smooching each
other as I admired them. I want a relationship like
theirs,they are my role role models.
‘Daddy Can I have money for Lunch’ I say making
my puppy eyes at him.
‘Stop doing that, It won't work on me’ He says
after chuckling and I laughed throwing my head
back.
‘Oh you always fall for them Daddy’ I say smiling
at mommy because I wanted her to help me.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Mzi give my baby some pocket money so she can

leave before she becomes late’ Mom says looking at
my Dad. I knew he will soften up at her
‘Fine Nkosazana take the wallet over there’ He
says and I stood up with my toast on my hands to
take his wallet as I handed it over to him.
‘Here’ He handed me a R50.00
‘Thank you Daddy, I should get going’ I say taking
my backpack on top of the kitchen counter.
‘What about your breakfast baby,you should finish
it’ Mom says shouting at me but I was already
making my way out of the house.
‘I'm full mom’ I shouted back making my way out.
It took me few minutes to arrive at school. I was
already making my way in when I felt someone
tapping my shoulder. I turned to find this cute guy.
‘Uhmm Hie’ I say looking at him.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Hey, My name is Dave and I was so amazed to see

someone like you’ He says and I looked at him with
confusion
‘What do you mean by that Dave’ I say folding my
arms across my chest
‘No no no don't take this a wrong way, it's just
that you cute’ He finally says and I nodded.
‘Thank you, I guess’ I say and I turned walking
away but he stopped me on my tracks.
‘I didn't get your name’ He says
‘And you didn't ask for it’ I say and he nodded as
he flashed a smile
‘Ohk Beautiful lady, What's your name?’ He asks
and I chuckled throwing my head back.
‘Nkosazana, Im a Princess in my family’ I
conclude
‘I get you Princess, You don't mind me calling you
that right?’ He asks and I shook my head.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘No I really don't mind’ I say to Him and He nod

‘Can I be your friend?’ He asks, it seems like he's
asking for a lot of things
‘You're pushing it’ I say turning to walk away and
he followed behind me.
‘Pretty please, Just a friend’ He says and I sighed
looking at him again.
‘Just a friend right?’ I asked
‘Just a friend, I promise I won't try anything silly’
He says and I nodded.
‘You can be my friend then but I have a best friend,
Carol’ I say to him as we walk to my classroom
‘Oh I would really love to meet her then’ He says
and I smiles
‘You will love her,She's great’ I say and he nods
‘Like you?’ He asks and I look at him.
‘What?’ I asks
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I meant to ask if She's great like you’ He says and

I nods as I spotted Carol at the far corner
‘You will see by yourself, I don't have to tell you’ I
say as we make our way to where Carol was.
‘Carol’ I called her out as she looked up to me with
a smile but frowned when she saw Dave
‘Don't tell me you got a boyfriend already’ She
tried to whisper but it was loud
‘That's not a whisper and he's not my boyfriend
you should quit smoking’ I say as she rolls her eyes
looking back at Dave
‘Hi I'm Carol, This Idiot Best Friend’ She was
grinning and I could tell that Dave was amused.
‘I'm Dave, the Friend’ They shook each other's
hands ans I chuckled
‘Can we talk a little so we can get to know you
Dave, just before the teacher comes in’ I say
‘Cool’ He says and we all sat down.

‘We're leaving together right?’ I asks him and he
nods

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Yes Let me pack my books’ He says and I walked

over to my desk so I could pack my books too. I
looked at Carol and she was done. I sighed as we
all walked out of the classroom heading at the
school gate.
‘So Dave, You didn't tell us about any girl friend’
Carol says looking at him before she looked ahead
‘Well I don't have a girlfriend but I'm looking’ He
says and she nods
‘What about you Carol, Do you have a boyfriend?’
He asks and Carol smiles so wide
‘Well.. Yes He is so hot but He's not from here. He
lives in Cape Town’ She Concluded and Dave nods
‘What about you Princess, Do you have a
boyfriend?’ He asks and I shook my head.
‘No I don't, boys are just distractions so I don't
want to be distracted’ I say and he nods

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I get you, but not every guy is a distraction’ He

says and we chuckled
‘Yeah but to me, I don't see any difference’ I say to
him
‘Ohk I get you’ He says as we were in our streets
‘Where are you staying?’ Carol asks him
‘Few blocks from here so I will see you guys
tomorrow Right’ He says kissing our cheeks
‘Bye’ He walked away as I looked at Carol
‘Goodbye you too’ I say as I made my way to the
Yard heading inside the house.
‘Mommy’ I say to her as I kiss her cheek
‘Hey My baby how was your day?’ She asks giving
me that warmly smile
‘Great,it was really great’ I say looking at her
‘Good, let me go prepare some food for you’ She
was about to get up but I stopped her
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Don't worry mommy I will prepare something for

myself’ I say as I assure her. My Mom loves to
overwork herself when it's not even necessary. I
walked upstairs to my room so I could change. I
changed to my tracksuits then I walked back to the
kitchen to prepare my food.
I ate as went back to the living room finding My
Dad with Nkokheli. I looked at him for a while,
everything of him was so neat. He was indeed a
charmer. I met his gaze on me as I quickly looked
away.
‘Daddy I didn't know you'll be coming home early
today’ I say to him.
‘Oh no I came to fetch some files’ He says walking
upstairs leaving me with this handsome snack. God
Princess He's your Uncle you can't think like that
about him. I sighed walking away,I don't even
know where My Mom disappeared to.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Where are you going Nkosatana?’ He asks Oh

He's a Swati.
‘I.. I'm going to my room Uncle’ I say without
looking at him because God knows how I will
behave. I may just bow down before him so I could
praise. Or maybe smash my lips on his….But
then;He's my Uncle so I cannot do that shit.
‘Ohk you can go’ Honestly, His voice is thick and
very dominant. But all in all It's intimidating. I
slowly made my way to my bedroom but I could feel
his eyes on me. I released a heavy breath that I
didn't know I was holding. I then took out my
headset so I could listen to music while laying on
top of the bed.

It was dinner time and I had no choice but to go

downstairs even though I didn't want to. I walked
to the bathroom to rinse my face before I made my
way downstairs. I was surprised see Uncle

Nkokheli as they say; but I will call him Nkokheli

of course.
‘I didn't know we had company’ I say narrowing
my eyes at Nkokheli but he held the glance causing
my to quickly look away.
‘Oh Yes I invited Nkokheli for dinner’ Dad says
and I nodded settling around the table
I wonder where his wife is. I didn't even dare to
look at him throughout the dinner. I pushed the
plate as I stood up
‘I..I'm going to do my homework’ I say and the
nodded.
I smiled taking a quick glance at Nkokheli before I
made my way to my room.

I woke up excited when I think about this day,

That finally I'm going to Court. I kicked the covers
off me before I got off the bed heading to the
bathroom. I took a warm bath before I walked back
to my bedroom. I found my uniform neatly folded
on top of my bed and the bed was made. I smiled
before I dressed up as tied my hair in a bun. I
observed myself on the mirror as I took my
backpack rushing downstairs
‘Good morning Mom’ I say to mom as she was
alone preparing some breakfast
‘Good morning my baby How are you?’ She asks
with her warmly smile which always melts my
heart
‘I'm very much Fine Mommy, And I'm excited’ I
say as my smile widen.
‘Oh you're really excited I can tell. Here's your

breakfast in front of me

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Thank you Mommy’ I say as I started eating

‘Where is Dad?’ I asks looking around but He's not
here
‘He is upstairs getting ready for work’ She says
and I nod getting off the chair taking my plate as I
placed it on the sink
‘I'm leaving’ I planted a kiss on her cheek and she
smiled
‘Have a fruitful day’ She says
‘You too’ I shouted as I was already on my way
out. I walked for few minutes as I came across with
Carol
‘I'm lucky today, I found you here’ I say taking off
her headset. This girl will go crazy with these
things on her ears
‘Oh yeah, you're early today’ She says rolling her
eyes

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Oh no you're late’ I say mocking her because she

hates to be labeled as a late comer
‘Whatever’ She says as I chuckled making our way
to school

I was now in class in class waiting for the bell to

ring because I cannot wait any longer.
‘So you're going to Court, Wow’ Dave says looking
at me’
‘I cannot wait’ I say
‘You're excited hey’ Carol says and I roll my eyes.
‘Of course I am,but I'm nervous’ I say honestly and
she set her eyes on me.
‘Why are you nervous?’ She asks and I sighed
placing my hands on my face.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘That guy is hot friend,you should see him. How he

carries himself,his voice and mostly her walk’ I say
as she shook her head.
‘You should get him out of your mind, how were
you able to see his walk even?’ She asks as I frown.
‘When we walked over to the dining room, he has
brackets a little. He is a goal’ I say as the bell rang.
I quickly took my backpack kissing my friend on the
forehead.
‘I will see you’ I walked out of the Classroom
running outside. I saw this Audi RS8 packed
outside the school yard and I instantly got nervous.
I walked over to him as I looked down.
‘Hi’ I say without looking at him.
‘Hello Nkosazana, are you fine?’ He asks causing
me to gasp as I looked up finding his eyes on me. I
quickly looked down and nodded.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Yeah, I'm fine Uncle Nkokheli’ I say as he

chuckled.
‘Nonsense, call me Nkokheli’ He says opening the
passenger door.
‘Thank you’ I climbed in the car as he closed
walking over to his side. He climbed in too and he
started the car.
‘So you want to be a Lawyer huh?’ He asks and I
nodded looking out of the window.
‘Are you always this shy or is it me?’ He asks
wishing I said Yes it's you.
‘No no I.. I just don't know how to react’ I say
honestly and he chuckled
‘I get you, you should just relax’ He mutter and I
nodded looking back to him. He was driving with
one hand as the other was on his lap. He was
wearing a slim blue suit and a rolex with those
mercedes formal shoes. His cologne must cost a
fortune because it is really.. Wow.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘We are here’ I was taken aback by his thick voice

as he climbed out to open the door for me.
…….
It was after the Court and he was driving to his
office to get something. He parked in this high
building and he helped me climb out. When we
walked in every lady was fixing her skirt,blouse or
cleavage. I hissed before I rolled my eyes following
him behind. He finally walked in this grey office
with a touch of gold. I admired the office and it's
design as he locked the door. I was surprised by
this,he took few steps to me as I slowly moved
backwards colliding with the wall
I looked up meeting his gaze as he cupped my face
‘You will get hurt Princess, you will get hurt so
badly’ He finally said.
‘Why?’ I asks with my cracky voice holding the
gaze

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I.. I'm not good for you, I am your father's best

friend’ He says as he cuss cupturing my lips in his.
His sweet lips were not doing any justice at the
moment. I want him
‘You're so innocent, I don't know what it is that is
drawing me to you’ He says as his lips were on
mine.
‘Then don't fight it’ I found myself saying that. He
shook his head stepping back.
‘Let's get going’ He said taking his briefcase as we
walk out of the office heading to the parking lot.
We climbed in as he started the car
It was so silence that I didn't hear when we arrived
due to my busy mind flowing with thoughts.
‘We're here, and Princess. Forget about what
happened today’ He says and i nodded getting out
of the car
I walked straight to the house finding Mom
knitting.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Hello Mom’ I say as I was already on the staircase

making my way to bedroom when she stopped me.
‘What's wrong Baby? You are not yourself today’
She says and I sighed.
‘Mom I'm so tired, can I please go and rest’ I say
because I was really drained and it was
Nkonkheli's fault. His kiss was so… arrg let me
forget.
‘Ohk my daugter,i will come and see you’ She
mutter loud enough for me to get that.
‘Mom can I be alone, I will tell you everything in
dinner time’ I say and she nodded. I made my way
to bedroom as I threw myself on the bed. I took the
pillow placing it on my face before I let out scream.
I changed my clothes to casual as I took out my
laptop to do what I always do.

CHAPTER FIVE.

everyday. Her warmly present make me want to

never felt this way in my whole life. Honestly this
feeling was so foreign to,I have never felt so

captured by a woman other notherless a school girl.

I want her so bad but I know I won't make her
mine. Her father would kill me. Mzi and Sandra
are my hommies, we grew up together as friends
but unfortunately they were in love so they dated.
I have never believed in this shit called love but
yesterday I felt something in me. It moved
immediately when I set my eyes on her up the
staircase. When they announced her as their
daughter,i knew I was doomed so I had to play far
from her. The kiss I shared with her meant
something though but I couldn't risk it. I couldn't
risk breaking a family because it can come to that. I
walked inside my house and I felt so lonely. I
walked to the table behind the couch as I poured a
Whiskey in a glass tilting it before I gulped it
down. My phone rang as My Mother's name
flashed on my phone screen causing me to smile. My
Mother is 57 years but she treats herself like a

I was woken up by the soft sounds of the rain, it

was so refreshing to hear the sound of it. I glared
over to the clock before I got out of the bed heading
to the bathroom. I took a shower then I walked back
to my bedroom so I could dress up. I need to fix few
things in the Law Firm before I go back to USA.
My life is in Califonia not here,but I would stay for
my Princess. Oh i-Nkosatana. I wish it was possible
for me to make her mine
I got dressed as I took my briefcase walking out of
my bedroom heading downstairs. I took an apple
before I walked out of the house to the parking lot.
..
I walked inside the building and these ladies were
doing something I hate with my life. Throwing
themselves at me, I may be rich and all but I don't
want to get sick,I become very careful regarding my
health. I went to the reception
Good morning Gugu’ I say looking at her

‘Tessa,How are you doing?’ I ask narrowing my
eyes at her
‘I'm fine sir how about you?’ She asked back
‘I'm good, I have any meeting today?’ I asks
placing my briefcase on the table
‘Yes,a meeting with the shareholders at 11:00
that's it’ She says and I nidded
‘Thank you Tessa,get me some breakfast then we

‘Princess what are you doing here? Ain't you

‘I..I didn't.. I couldn't go to school Nkonkheli’ She

when shes nervous
‘Why? You know you're doing Grade 12 right?’ I
asks maybe she has forgotten
‘Yes I know, Nkokheli I.. I know you're old but I.. I
can't live without you’ She says taking me by
suprise
‘Princess you can't say that. You don't even know
me’ I say shaking my head.
‘I.. I don't know you but I feel like I do Nkokheli I..
I don't how to feel when i'm not around you but I

‘Then let's explore it, let's just explore it Nkokheli

my hand traveled to her butt,i squized it causing
her to moan and she pushed me.
‘What was that sound?’ She asks and I chuckled
pulling her to the couch as we sat down.
‘Let's explore this without being in a relationship.
Your Father won't allow you to date me Princess’
I say
‘I don't care, I just want you’ She says but I shook
my head
‘Let's not complicate things Ohk?We will explore

‘We will spend some time together and get to know

CHAPTER SIX.
Nkosazana.

I was beyond hurt to learn that he doesn't want to

be in a relationship with me. Yes I know he's my
father's best friend but I don't care I just want him.
The things I have been feeling are rarely there and
I don't want them to end. I looked at him as he was
driving with his other hand on his lap while the
other was he was using for driving. He was
wearing a Gold rolex but today his shoes were
difference. His slim meroon suit fit him perfectly as

he was licking her lips here and there;what I have

noticed is that he really likes to lick his pick lips. I
sighed as I turned to look out of the window.
‘Princess,I hope you understand everything I have
saud to you earlier on’ He says and I look at him.
‘Yes,I'm young Nkokheli and you're my Father's
best friend, I get you’ I say shifting my attention
from him.
‘Don't get it wrong because I do feel something for
you but this,us it won't happen’ He says and I felt a
tear escaping from my eye. I quickly wiped it off as
I looked up finding his eyes on me.
‘Don't cry you're hurting me’ He say wiping off the
tear
‘It's fine I'm not really crying’ I say as he park his
car and look at me again.
‘We will spend time with each other before I leave
for USA,My life is not even here Princess so I don't
know how we can make it work so let's not even

start something we cannot finish’ He says and I

understand. I can't expect him to give up
everything he has worked hard for because of a
teenager. I mean I'm not even his type.
‘I understand Nkokheli, Let's get inside the school’
I say opening the door and walked out. He was
following me and I could tell that He's mad. I
don't know what't wrong with him but I can really
tell that he is mad.
We walked inside the Principal's office while these
teachers were busy keeping their eyes at Nkokheli. It
was annoying all I wanted was to get over and
done with this.
‘Welcome, How can I help you?’ Principal asks and
all I can do was to look down and play with my
hands while Nkokheli was the one doing the
talking. After they were done Nkokheli glance at
me flashing a little smile before he walked out
leaving me stunned. Not so long ago he was mad. I
shrug my shoulders as I walked out of the office

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

heading to my classroom. There was was a teacher

there but he didn't ask me a single question.
Nkokheli said his life is in USA but he has a
Company here which confuses me.
I looked at my friend and she looked at me back
before she smiled
‘Where are you from and why ain't you getting any
punishment for being late?’ She asks and I just
shrug my shoulders before I turned my attention to
the teacher.

It was now time to go home. I pack my books as

Dave made his way to us.
‘Let's go guys, I need somethings from the shop’ He
says looking at us.
‘What?’ Carol asks. This one is noisy and she has
no secret at all. That's why I don't tell her all my
secrets.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Something Carol’ Dave replied as I shrug my

shoulders as we made our way out. I saw this
familiar Audi RS8 packed outside the school yard.
I saw Nkokheli leaning against the car as we were
approaching him. I released a deep breath before I
turned to look at my friends.
‘I.. I'm coming back,there's someone I want to talk
to’ I say as Carol looked at me with those
suspecting eyes.
‘Where are you going?’ She asks
‘I'm coming back, look I will catch up with you too
ohk’ I walked away without waiting for their
answear.
I stood next to him as I looked up to meet his gaze.
He was actually tall and muscular,so sexy.
‘Nkokheli how are you?’ I asks still with my eyes on
him.
‘I came to get you, We're going somewhere’ He says
and I chuckled.

‘Say you're joking, you know my Dad will kill me

right?’ I asks raising my left eyebrow
‘He won't’ He says opening the passenger door. I
sighed as I looked behind me and there was no sigh
of Carol and Dave. I shook my head climbing
inside the car as he closed walking to his side. He
climbed in too before he drives off.
‘So what lie did you tell my Dad?’ I asks
narrowing my eyes at him. He looked at me before
he looked ahead on the roafd
‘Why do you think I told him a lie?’ He asks
‘Well you can't really say you're talking his
daughter out or something’ I state the obvious.
‘Fine you got me, I told him we're going to my
Law Firm’ He says and I nod
‘Well why are you having a Law Firm here while
your life is in the US?’ I asks him hoping he will
answer me

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I was just creating some job opportunities in my

Country’ He says and again,I nod.
‘That's so thoughtful of you’ I say as we park in
this building. It was white and blue in color and
the roof was like that of the Muslim. He climbed
the car as he walks over to my side and helped me
out too.
‘Where are we?’ I asks looking around.
‘We are at the Casino, You will watch me play’ He
says holding my hand. I expected his hand to be
hard and all but it was so soft and I found myself
playing with it while we made our way to the
Casino.
‘Are they going to allow me?I mean I'm wearing a
uniform’ I mutter looking at him.
‘Don't worry about that’ He says and as a little
girl that I am, I nod. We walked inside ignoring
the security and I was so surprised. I looked up to

him with my mouth open and I looked ahead not

saying anything.
‘Mr Dlamini you're here’ This one guy in a suit
says as he stood up.
‘Yes,where is Lesley?’ Nkokheli asks sitting down
on this chair that was Gold. It was the only Chair
that was Gold with a little bit of Royal Blue.
‘He went Home, I don't know why though’ The
Other said as Nkokheli nodded as he pulled me to
him. What I have noticed here is the Respect they
were giving him but I didn't that braveness to ask
anything.
…...
We were driving off heading home. He didn't say
anything but he kept of looking at me then smiled to
himself which was very creepy to me. We finally
parked at this huge house. It was really huge so He
climbed out heading to my side as he helped me out
of the car. I looked around then we walked inside

the house. It was really beautiful,I loved the design

all which house everything was placed.
‘You like it?’ His thick voice bought me back on
Earth as I shifted my attention to him.
‘Yes, It's beautiful. Is it your place?’ I asks
‘Yes, It's my place’ He replied and I nodded.
‘It's so huge how do you survive alone in here?’ I
asks and he shrug his shoulders
‘I..I just survive’ He murmur loud enough for me
to hear him
‘Ohk, Cool’ I say and he smiles taking few steps to
me
‘You're so beautiful. So innocent’ He says and his
face changes,He is now serious.
‘I...I-’He interrupted me

‘Shhhhh’ He says placing his finger on my mouth

as he looked at me straight to my eyes like he is
searching for something
‘I don't know what I feel about you but all I know
is that It's driving me crazy’ He chuckled befopre
he continues
‘I have never thought that I would feel this way
with My Friend's daughter. If someone told me
long ago I would have laughed so hard but now…
here I am,about to kiss you’ He says because he
captured my lips into his,his hand travels to my
waist and mine travels to his neck. The kiss became
so passionate,full of different emotions but most
importantly our souls were connecting. I don't
know how to explain this but It was too much. It
was so wrong too but I didn't want it to end. I
wanted it to last for a lifetime

A WEEK LATER….

I was laying on top of the bed reading a letter that

Nkokheli's PA sent to me. Honestly I didn't
understand why he left while we were already so
close to each other. I was so used to his serious self
and when he is joking Honestly he was so unique
that I am longing for him right now. Nkokheli is
not a boy, he's a man with class other than that.

at this letter busy repeating it but reality kicked

in;He was back to where his life is. He was back to
USA and there was nothing I could do about that.
I sighed getting out of the covers heading to the
bathroom. I took a very relaxing bath as I walked
back to my bedroom so I could dress up. It's
Saturday and I have nothing to do,after getting
dressed I walked downstairs finding My Parents
‘Good morning Mom and Dad’ I say kissing both
their cheeks as always
‘Good morning, you don't look fine to me baby are

‘I will be fine Mom it's nothing major’ I say and

‘What is it?Is there any boy you are in love with

‘It's nothing like that Mom, I was just asking’ I say

‘Good, you are too young to be dating’ She says

‘I'm talking to you Princess ain't I?’ He asks and I
cleared my throat before I could answer that.

sending difference Impulses down my mind. I closed
my eyes looking up as Princess's face flashed
through my mind like some kind of a waterfall. I

sigh. I toss of my bed as I couldn't find a relaxing

posture no matter how I tried so I stood up. My
phone beeped indicating a message. I grabbed it
from the bed setting my eyes on the screen. It's
Nkokheli saying I must come outside. I think he's
crazy, My parents are watching Television
downstairs I think. So how will I get out of here. I
sighed as my phone rang . Nkokheli's name flashed
on the phone screen so I accepted the call
‘Nkokheli’ I say in a whisper
‘Why are you whispering Princess?’ He asks
‘I don't want my parents to hear me, they are still
up’ I say sitting back on top of the bed.
‘Ow,I'm Outside’ He says
‘I can't come out My parents are still up Nkokheli
and I can't risk for them to see me with you’ I say
to him over the phone

‘What do you mean you will wait Nkokheli, and

‘You weren't answering my calls Princess so what
did you expect?’ He was clearly annoyed by the
question I can tell.
‘You don't have to be rude you know,I was just
asking and weren't you the one who told me that I
must call you when I'm really to talk?’ I ask and he
hiss.
‘Yes but that was,few hours back...It was me
calling because I wanted to talk to you’ He says
‘Well I didn't know that I was supposed to answer
your call even though I didn't want to talk to you’ I
say
‘I don't want to argue with you Princess, God
knows how much I don't’ He says and I chuckled

‘But I know, let me wait a little bit’ I say
‘I'm coming in’ He says causing me to stand on my
feet
‘What?You can't come in Nkokheli what will you
say to my dad?’ I asks him.
‘That I'm dating his daughter’ He says and what
he said this morning came back to my mind. I made
a mental note to ask him.
‘He's so going to kill you,you know I'm not your
even your woman right?’ I asks more like a
statement

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘You don't expect me to buy flowers and all that

he told me that we should not label this as a

‘You said I'm too young and you're my father's best
friend which meant we can't date’ I say as expected
‘What if I have changed my mind? Princes I
thought treating you like everyone would be so
much easy for me but it's not’ He says and I sighed.
‘So what do you think we should do?’ I asks
‘I should take you out on a date, I'm not that
romantic type Princess so you should not expect me
to wear a suit and go dine with you’ He says,It's
not like he doesn't wearing those suits
‘But you always wear a suit’ I say
‘When I'm at work or in Court Princess,I just don't
wear that when I'm home’ He says and I nod. Like
he can see me; Today he was wearing casual.

‘Oh I get you’ I say to him.

‘Go and check up your parents, I'm sure they are
done’ He says and I sighed standing up
‘Ohk’ I say
‘Don't hung up’ He says and I do as he says. I
slowly make my way downstairs and found no one.
The television was off which means they have gone
to bed already. I sneek out with my tracksuit and
socks. I opened the gate and made my way out. I
saw a car that had lights on.
‘It's me, come down here or should I fetch you?’ He
asks. His car was few houses away from my house.
‘No I will come by myself’ I say as I started
walking.
‘How are you?’ He asks as soon as I approached
him. He was leaning against the car.
‘I'm good, how about you?’ I asks back as he smiles
placing his hand on my hip.

‘I'm asking nicely, how old are you?’ I asks again
and he tilt his head before he chuckled.
‘I said it's not important though’ He says and I
smiled looking up to his eyes.
‘To me it's important so tell me’ I scoff because he

He kept a straight face I almost got up and ran.
‘I'm 38 and I'll be turning 39 soon’ He says and it
goes silence.
‘You.. you're 21 years older than me Nkokheli God

‘That doesn't change how I feel about you’ He says
and I look at him with my innocent face.
‘How did you figure it out?How did you figure it
out on how you feel about me?’ I asks as he placed
his hand on my cheek.
‘I felt something the moment I laid my eyes on you
on those staircase but when you didn't take my calls

‘I was a little bit angry’ I honestly say.
‘You shouldn't have been angry,you were swearing

says and I giggled
‘You know how to make me mad and happy at the

pulls me closer.
‘Sleep well ohk,don't forget that you are loved by

CHAPTER NINE.
Nkosazana.

I groaned pulling the covers over my head. I

wasn't ready to wake up because God knows how
tired I was. I kicked the covers off before I got off
the bed heading to the bathroom. I took a shower
before I head back to the bedroom. My uniform was
neatly folded on top of the bed. I sighed as I applied
some lotion over my body before I got dressed then I
took my backpack before I walked down the stairs.
My mother was preparing some breakfast whereas

my dad was telling her some stories which I bet

they ain't true.
‘Good morning family’ I say to them as I settled
around the table after placing my backpack on top
of the kitchen counter.
‘Good morning my Angel’ Dad says planting a kiss
on my cheek. Wow.
‘Morning my baby how are you doing?’ Mom asks
flashing her lovely smile in which I returned back.
‘Doing great Mom,how about you?’ I asks back
‘Fine,here’ She placed a plate with breakfast next
to me and I smiled.
‘Thank you Mom’ I started to dig in and my Dad
took his briefcase before he kissed my mom.
‘I'm off to work,I will see you’ He says walking out
and I shook my head. I love how my Mom and Dad
handle their things or should I say love life? They

are with each other.
‘So Princess,how are you meetings with Nkokheli?’
Mom asks and I shrugged my shoulders with a
slight smile.
‘Great,I lean a lot from him you know’ I say and
she nods.
‘Yeah,he's great but he really needs a woman is his
life’ She says and I stopped eating as I slowly
looked up to her.
‘Mom,you can't say those things next to me’ I say to
her and she giggles.
‘It's not like you don't have a boyfriend’ She rolls
her eyes

‘I don't want you to sneek out and all of that that's
why I want to talk to you about these things

my face.
‘I know Mom but it feels so uncomfortable to me I
mean you're my mom’ I say as I shrugged my
shoulders.
‘I know and that's one of the reason I have to talk
to you about these things’ She says and I got off the

say planting a kiss on her cheek before I made my
way out. In few minutes I was making my way
inside the school yard. I walked straight to my class
finding some of my classmates and my friends were
at the far corner of the classroom so I walked over
to them.
‘Good morning my babies’ I say kissing both their
cheeks.
‘Good morning,how are you doing?’ Dave asks.

Nkokheli is fetching me. Yeah I just received a
message from me stating that he will come and
fetch me.
I glance a his car far from where I am and I
quickens my pace to that direction.
‘Hello Nkokheli’ I say flashing my killer smile.

off
‘My Dad is going to kill me Nkokheli,I don't even
want to imagine it’ I say looking at him.
‘You will come up with a story since It can't be this
meeting up with me everyday’ He says and I totally
get it.
‘I will think of something,so where are we heading
to?’ I asks.
‘To our Date’ He replies.
‘No Nkokheli I'm in my school uniform we can't’ I
shook my head because we really can't.
‘Relax I bought you something to change,some
tracksuits since you're obsessed with them’ He says
and I chuckled.

‘It's not that I'm obsessed with them,they are just so

looked out of the window.
‘Say it’ His manly voice erupt my thoughts
‘What? Say what?’ I asks looking back to him.
‘Whatever you want to say just say it’ He says and
I sighed.
‘Fine,why do you like doing that?’ I asks and he
glance at me then back to the road.
‘Doing what Princess?’ He asks
‘Placing your hand on your lap then the other one

building.
‘Come’ He was already out and I have no idea
when he even got out of the car.
He helped me out as we walked in this building.
We weren't even asked any questions from the
securities and it was so much surprising or should I
say shocking? I was shown one of the rooms while
Nkokheli was out for something I don't even have
any idea of. I changed to the tracksuits he had
purchased for me and they were really beautiful.
The door was pulled open as Nkokheli made his
way in carrying a wine.
‘Hey babe you're done’ It was a statement rather
than a question.
‘Yes as you can see’ I rolled my eyes.

‘They won't roll back one of the days’ He says and I

chuckled. It wasn't like he wouldn't say that,i trust

‘Whatever,so this is a date?’ I asks and he shakes
his hand before handing his hand over to me. I
gladly accept as we made our way out. It was now
dark but not too dark ofcouse.
We walked back to the building and I looked at
Nkokheli,he was so chilled. I was taken by a
surprise when I saw a picnic,it was so beautiful.
‘Wow this is so beautiful’ I say to him and he
smiled.
‘I tried,even though I forgot some wine and I had

about this morning,not forgetting your boyfriend’
She says and I ran to my bedroom.

Johhanesburg. I wanted to go there and he won't
even stop me. The sad part is that Dave and Carol
are going to study in Cape Town and it's so sad
since I didn't want us to separate. I dragged my
bags downstairs and they were all there.
‘Oh My baby I will miss you’ Trust my mom on
being a Drama Queen. It's not like I'm moving to
another Country.
‘I will miss you too Mom,I will visit’ I say and she

boring,we're taking a jet but he still wants to
accompany me to Johannesburg.
The drive to the airport was quiet with no one
saying a single word. We even departure without
any word amongst us.

We walked in my flat and he was still mad and I

honestly don't understand his problem.
‘Nkokheli what's your problem,you don't want me
to study?’ I ask.
‘It's not like that,you should have applied back
home’ He was sulking.

smiled at me.
‘I love you too,Let's get you comfortable then’ He
says taking my suitcase to one of the bedrooms.
‘Nkokheli don't be too comfortable in my flat’ I
shout for him.
‘This is not your flat,it belongs to my dearest friend

‘I wonder how your friend would feel if he finds
out that you have been dating his little girl’ I say as

now and then hooting so loud is causing me to lose
my sleep. What did I expect in the busy City of
Johannesburg? This City is always busy. I tap my
foot down before I got up heading to the bathroom.
It's my first day in University and a part of me is
really nervous. I took a warm bath before I walked
back to my bedroom with a towel around my waist.
I sighed looking at myself over the mirror,the is no
doubt that I'm beautiful. Lotion my body as I took

finally released a deep breath which I didn't even
know that I was holding.

I walked straight to the hall where I saw everyday

about some orientation in which I don't even know
about then we headed out.

the bed with my phone on my hand as my feet
touched my bedroom mat. I was going through my
phone as I came to a stop on my friend's name;

like her after Carol.

quickly traveled to the clock on the far corner of my
bedroom; its 6am and I have to be in Class at 9am.
‘I'm fine but Damn I miss your crazy ass’ She said
causing me to chuckle.
‘I miss Your ass too, you have any classes?’I asked
as I release a sigh.
‘Yes at 11am though’ She replied causing me to
nod even though she cant see.
‘K let me get ready for school we will talk right?’I
asked more like a statement.
‘Yeah we will talk, we should go out for Lunch at
12pm don't you think? She asked as I tilted my
head to the side brushing my shoulder with my eyes
closed.
‘I don't know Cassie’ I said.

made my way to the sink,i rinsed the glass. I say as
I poured cold water from the bottle that I took out
from the fridge.
‘Yeah I didn't want to argue with you, you know
how much I hate it’ She said causing me to roll my
eyes. Who said anything about arguing?
‘I'm not arguing’ I said.
‘Fine, get ready for school we will talk about our
Lunch after Class’ She said as I gulp down the cold
water on my glass.
‘Yes,have a fruitful morning’ I say with a smile.

‘Have a wonderful Class too, love you’ She

disconnected the call immediately after saying that.
I gulped down the remaining water on the glass
placing it on top of my table.
I walked back to my room as my eyes traveled to the
clock on the far corner of my bedroom it's 7am. I
sighed before I stripped off naked as I tied my hair
in a bun knowing very well that it will untie itself
as soon as I walked inside the bedroom. I then
walked to my ensuit getting inside the shower. I
shrived as the cold water hit my back sending some
impulses down my spine,i hissed closing my eyes for
a while before I opened them again. I took a soup
with a bathing towel as I washed my body. I then
rinsed it as I got out of the shower walking back to
my bedroom.
I opened my closet scanning through my clothes. I
found this perfect peach dress but I then
remembered the cold weather outside so a dress
won't do. I took out my track pants as I slide them

in turning to look at myself on the mirror besides

my bed. I slowly observed myself as a smile cracked
on my face thinking about the day Nkokheli bought
me these. I tied my hair as I took my backpack with
me to the living room.
I placed the backpack on the couch before I made my
way to the kitchen so I could make some cereal for
breakfast. After eating I took the dish to the sink
then I walked over to the living room to take my
backpack. I then head to the door as I walked out
locking it. Campus is few streets from my flat so I
always walk. I came across with these stupid
barbies of the school, the most annoying girls I have
ever met.

‘Hey Nkosazana, how is school going?’ one of the

behind.
‘I asked you a question Princess!’ She halve shouted
making to stop on my tracks. I slowly turned to look
at her.
‘I have no business with you Rosie, what the fuck to
you want from me huh?’ I asked with a very
irritated expression.
‘I was just asking there's no need for you to be all
worked out. Lisa let's just go’ She scoffs as she side
eyed me before they walked away from me.
I shook my head as I continued with my walk to the
Campus. I finally arrived with all the students
which were walking besides me. I made my way to
the Class, Professor Craig was already in the class
though he didn't start.
I made my way to a front sit where I always sit on.
‘Good morning everyone I hope you're all good, I
had received some bad news today and I would like

‘Quiet everyone, I know i'm the best professor in
the Campus and I will miss you'll’ He continued as
the Class went quiet.
‘Professor Craig who is going to be our Professor
then?’ Lisa asked.
‘Oh yeah, a very young professional professor’ He
said without giving us a name.
‘Don't worry, you will meet him tomorrow and I
want you to be in your best behavior’ He continued
and we all nodded.

I pack my backpack as I made my way out of the
class. The rain has stopped poring and the weather
is so cool.. My phone beeped indicating a message
so I took it out to read the message;it was from

the Cafe and there she was in her bum short and a
t-shirt. I kissed her cheek before I sat on the chair
opposite her.
‘I'm buying Lunch’ she beamed with a stupid grin
on her face. I sighed narrowing my eyes at her

‘Cool then’ I said looking around the Cafe, this

place was full of students but there were some who
are adults. Our refreshment were bought all with
our cakes. I have been craving for this but I
couldn't afford it.
‘Don't you want to go to a party this weekend?’
She asked as I choke on my drink. I have never been
in a party before
‘I...I have never b..been in a party before so I really
don't know’ I shrug my shoulders looking up to
her.

‘You're missing out big time, so we're going to a

hands excited.
‘I..I guess’ I was nervous about this whole party

‘Don't be nervous Friend, you will be with me

CHAPTER TWELVE
Nkosazana.

It was of those lonely night, I kept on tossing and

turning the whole night until I drift off to sleep
unexpected. I slowly opened my eyes as I was met by
the reflection of the sun through the window. I
groaned turning to the other side. My eyes traveled
to the clock and it was 8am. Shit i'm supposed to be

in class by 9am. I quickly got out of the covers

heading to the en-suit. I tripped off naked before I
took a quick shower. I then walked back to my room
but naked and I started to get dressed. After getting
dressed I fixed my hair making my way to the
living room with my backpack. I walked as fast as I
could so I could make it on time but who was I
kidding? I found a professor in the Class and I bet
he's the new one because I have never saw him
before.
‘Good morning sir’ I say making my way to the sit.
‘Miss, you are late’ He said as I looked up to
him,He is so handsome but I won't even think about
it. Nkokheli would literally kill me and he's my
only Love. Look at me thinking about lovers.
‘I.. I'm sorry sir it won't happen again’ I say as my
eyes were now wondering around the classroom.
‘I hope it won't miss, I hate late comers’ He said
with so much seriousness in his thick voice.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘I..It won't sir’ I replied taking out my books.

‘Let's continue from where we were until Miss
interrupted us’ The professor said eyeing me and I
quickly looked down.
‘I want us to talk about implantation,i'm sure we
all know what that is right?’ He asked more like a
statement and we all nodded.
‘Good, so,Miss...’ He was looking at me so I
answered
‘Miss Nkosazana, If you were asking me s..sir’ I
say looking behind me to see if he wasn't talking to
someone behind me.
‘I'm talking to you miss Nkosazana,tell us more
about the implantation’ He said and I smiled
because I remembered it clearly
‘It's during sexual intercourse or copulation of
course so the penis is placed tin the vagina and the
sperms are release-’ I was interrupted by Him.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘You should call them Spermatozoa Miss

Nkosazana, this is not High School’ He said
rolling his eyes. I have just concluded that this
professor does not like me. I don't know why
because we don't know each other
‘I don't know the answer sir’ I said as I released a
heavy breath that I didn't know I was holding.
He tap his right foot down folding both his arms to
his chest.
‘Are you sure Miss Nkosazana?’ He asked looking
at me as our eyes met. I broke the eye-contact before
I cleared my throat.
‘Yes Mr, I don't know’ I said with so much
attitude this time around.
‘You should teach yourself to come to class very
early, maybe you should have know about
Implantation Miss Nkosazana’ He said looking at
everyone around the class and he continued with his
lesson.

It was now the end of the class,i packed my things

but when I was about to go out Professor stopped
me.
‘Miss Nkosazana’ He called out for me as I
stopped on my tracks. Everyone was now out of the
Class. I sighed turning to look at him.
‘Yes sir’ I responded.
‘You should come and attend some extra classes for
that implantation’ He said with his intimidating
look of his.
‘No thank you sir, I will manage on my own’ I say
turning to walk out of the class.
‘I didn't say you may go Miss NkosazanaOr did
i?’ He asked and I turned to look at him.
‘No you didn't sir but I.. I have important things to
do can I please leave’ I say sounding so small

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Yes you may leave but think about my offer and

stop having so much pride’ He mutter
‘As I said sir,i will be fine but thank you for the
offer’ I said heading out. I came across with Cassie
just outside the class.
‘Hey Cassie’ I said hugging her
‘I was missed’ She giggled pulling out of the hug
‘It's not like I have missed you,the hug meant
nothing’ I stuck my tongue at her
‘Oh yeah’ She chuckled narrowing her sharp eyes at
me ‘You were mad before I came here right?’ She
asked as we both stopped on our tracks.
‘It's this stupid professor who thinks he knows me
but no, that professor is an ass’ I huff continuing
making my way to the road
‘You don't have to entertain him you know’ She
said following me behind

‘If he wasn't on my case it would have been much

‘You have know him for what?Two hours?Give
him time he will be just fine’ She said causing me
to roll my eyes.
‘I hope so because damn i'm going to die with the
sad professor in my class’
‘You saying he's sad, how do you know that?’ She
asked with a chuckle
‘Of course he's sad, you should see him’ I eyed her
and she nodded.
‘I should really meet this sad person hey’ She said.
‘Oh yeah you should’ I said as we finally arrived in
my flat.
‘Tomorrow i'm attending two classes’ I said to
Cassie as I unlocked the door making our way in. I
immediately threw myself on the couch

‘Do you have wine?’ She asked going to the kitchen

‘No I don't have wine Cassie’ I shouted from the
living room. She came back with a huge frown
across her face
‘Yeah whatever’ I say.
‘I have no classes Tomorrow so I will be vising my

‘You and your man, you're always all over each
other’ I whine throwing my head back.
‘It's called love my baby girl,you should join us in

‘Eeew Cassie that's so gross’ I said with a
disgusted expression Cassie laughed
‘You will die a virgin Princess, don't you want to
know how delicious a dick is huh?’ She asked in
between of her laughter

‘I'd rather die a virgin, sex is so gross Cass very

much gross’ I said looking at her,I didn't tell her
about Nkokheli and I'm not planning to.
‘No it's not, when you start having sex you will
come to me with all kinds of smiles and I will say I
told you so’ She said narrowing her sharp eyes on
me.
‘Whatever’ I said.
‘Don't you want me to give you a taste?’ She asked
with a smirk on her face.
‘A taste?How?’ I asked because I was really
confused right here.
‘Like...’ She said leaning in as her lips met mine. I
was surprised but I responded anyway it's not like I
didn't kiss anyone at high school but Nkokheli's
face flashed on my mind.
Her hand traveled to my undies as she got on top of
me. I moaned as she played with my clit,I closed
both my eyes enjoying the moment. I then left her

hands pulling of my jeans and I quickly opened my

eyes.
‘Cassie we are not supposed to do this you know’ I
said breathing hard.
‘It's harmless fun Nkosazana,so relax and enjoy’
She said getting back to my lips as she traveled to
my neck.
She bit my earlobe and I also tried to pull down her
bum short but she stopped me.
‘Leave it’ I nodded as she went between my thighs
kissing them. I held her head so she could go deeper
and she really did go deeper.
I felt a liquid thingy gushing down between my lips
causing me to moan more louder
I felt this cold thing on my clit and I realized that
it's her tongue. She lick me so bad playing with my
honeypot until I felt my body shaking. She then
went back to lick my lips making me to taste myself.
She looked at me in my eyes and chuckled before she

ran to the bedroom. What have I done? My phone

ran as Nkokheli's name flashed on my phone screen.
I tossed it over the table and closed my eyes. I
wasn't ready for this.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN.

I kept on stealing glances at her but she was so

focused on the television. I have cleared my throat
countless time but she's been ignoring me.
‘Cassie why are you so quiet?’ I asked looking at
her

‘No it's nothing much I'm just thinking and you're

‘What have I done?’ I asked because there is
nothing I have done here.
‘You kept on looking at me Princess,you're making
things to be so weird’ She said and I nodded
turning back my attention to the television
‘I'm hungry’ I broke the little silence that we had
after our starring stalk
‘Why don't you prepare something to eat?’ She
asked as I stood up
‘You have moods I can see that,but don't act up on
me because its not nice at all’ I clicked my tongue
making my way to my bedroom. I sighed as I
tripped down naked waking over to the bathroom. I
need a cold bath, I got in the bath as I started
bathing.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

I finished after an hour as I made my way back to

my bedroom. I wore my night dress before I climbed
on my bed getting inside the covers.

I was woken up by an alarm,it was really annoying

making me wonder why I set it on. I huff getting
out of the covers heading to my en-suit. I took a
shower then I walked back to my bedroom so I
could dress up. I fixed my hair walking over to the
kitchen. Cassie was not there but there was a note
on the fridge. I'm so sorry for being such an ass;love
C. I smiled taking out a cereal so I could eat for
breakfast. I took the dish to the sink as soon as I
was done then I made my way out of the flat. The
walk to the Campus wasn't that long today. I
arrived at the class but the was no one,the professor
made his way in just right after I walked in.
‘Miss Nkosazana,you're early today’ He said
looking at me.

‘As you can see’ I replied so annoyed.

‘You better lose that attitude Miss,if you want us to
get along just fine’ He said with a thick voice with
his deep accent. Heeeh Nkokheli come and see
‘I.. I apologize Mr’ I said shifting my eyes from
him. I sat down taking out my phone. I had a
message from an unknown number;i just wonder
who that was. I flipped my phone on my backpack
as students were already making their way inside
the class.
‘Good morning Everyone,i hope we had an
amazing morning. Today we're talking about
birth’ He said eyeing everyone across the room. The
way he is annoying and little bit rude you. He was
in casual yesterday too so maybe it's his style.
‘Anyone who would like to present this topic?’ He
asked.
‘Me!’ We all turned to this voice finding out its
Rosie.

‘Yes Miss…’ He asked and I turned my

attentionback to him.
‘Miss Rosie,but you can call me whatever you want.
I don't mind at all sir’ She said with the most
annoting ever causing me to roll my eyes.
‘Miss Rosie will be fine Ma'am’ He said and
looking at his facial expression. He was irritated
‘K Giving birth….’
…..
I walked out of my second class heading to the
Cafe,I just got a text from Cassie asking me to meet
her at the Cafe. I spotted her at the corner so I
made my way there.
‘Hello Cassie’ I say settling down. She looked up to
me and she released a sigh.
‘I'm sorry about last night Nkosazana, after our
kinky session last night I received a message from

escaped from her eye so I quickly went to her side
‘Oh Cassie,are you sure?’ I asked because honestly
Jack is so in love with Cassie,i have seen how he
behaves with her and it's so amazing.
Cassie took out her phone and she turned it to
me,my mouth was now hung open because of the
scene I have just seen of her phone. Jack was
making up with a girl oh boy!
‘Oh Cassie I'm so sorry’ I said pulling her in my
embrace. She must be feeling very sad right now,i
mean she love Jack despise of everything they have
been through,she told me of all the stories about her
a Jack and boy. It's called true love,maybe Jack

‘What are you planning Cass?’ I asked as I came

face-face with her.
‘Watch and learn my friend’ A creepy smile
appeared on her face. She's planning something bad
I know. I sighed looking defeated because she really
won't tell me anything about her plan.
‘Let's go then since you won't tell me anything
about your plan but what I know is that it's stupid’
I say as I tilt my head tapping my foot on the
ground.
‘Hell yeah, I won't tell you’ She's smiling but you
can see the sadness behind that smile.
‘Let's go’ I said as I walked out of the Cafe with
her following me. I just want to get home and
sleep,God knows how tired I am right now. That
God I don't have any Class Tomorrow.
‘Cassie you have any Class Tomorrow?’ I asked
tilting my head to her direction. She shook her head
and I nodded.

‘What?’
‘Forget about what happened yesterday because

her flat causing me to Chuckle. I made my way in
walking straight to the refrigerator,i took out a
bottle of juice . I made m,y way to the sink to rinse
a glass too as I poured the juice in the class gulping
it down.
‘Why are you ignoring my calls Princess’ His voice
creeps from the other side and I quickly turned to

steps to me.

which made her even more beautiful. I sat next to her as

turned to look at me.
‘How are you?’ She asked as her facial expression
changed.
‘I'm good,what about you?Are you fine?’ I asked
narrowing my eyes at her.
‘Yes I'm,I should dish you up I'm sure you're hungry I

feet.
‘Work was very much Hectic,i needed to mark some

I stood up as I walked upstairs to our bedroom. It's so

nostrils. It's so refreshing and the View is attractive.
Her cute face quickly flows through my mind like an
instant image. She's really beautiful and her attitude is
out of this world. I chuckled thinking about the time I
asked her a question regarding Implantation.
‘My Love’ Miss Nkosazana's image is erased by my
Wife's faint voice. I turned to her as she handed me a
glass of Scotch. I tilt it before I gulp it down in one-go.
‘What were you thinking about?You were so deep in
your thoughts’ She murmur placing her hand on my
chest.
‘It's nothing important’ I huffed as that was replaced by
a smile in a second.
‘Oh,Your food is ready’ She said turning to walk away
and I followed behind her.
I settled around the table as she placed a plate next to
me,i started to dig in as she was looking at me without
uttering a word.

nodded.
‘Yes,and I really love you’ She said and I nodded as I
went back to having my meal.
‘Let me go and sleep,I'm tired’ She said already on her
feet. I can say she's not in any mood to talk because I
know her. I nodded as she made her way upstairs and I
sighed taking the plate to the sink. I then walked to our
bedroom finding her reading a novel.
‘I thought you wanted to sleep’ I commented
‘Yeah but I'm good right here so I no longer need any
sleep’ She said without looking at me.

kiss on her forehead before I got out of the covers
heading to the bathroom. After doing my hygiene
process I walked back to the bedroom finding the bed
neatly made. I sighed as I took out my clothes and
started dressing up. After I was done dressing up I
walked downstairs finding my wife preparing some
breakfast. I held her from behind as I planted a kiss on
her neck causing her to turn and look at me. The smile
on her face is really beautiful.
‘Good morning,how was your night?’She asked
‘Great, how about yours?’ I asked back and she sighed

‘Am I laughing?’ I asks and she looked down
playing with her finger as she released a sigh.
‘It won't happen ever again Nkokheli I promise’
She says slowly looking back to me.

‘What the hell Nkosatana,I was trying to sleep’ He

says groaning.
‘You're holding me too tight I can't even breath’ I
say and he sighed loosening his grip.
‘Thank you’ I say as I got up from the bed heading
to the bathroom. I peed then I walked back to the
bedroom he was still asleep. I shook my head as I
took a gown slipping it in before I walked to the
kitchen. Cassie was there drinking some wine,this
girl.
‘Cass I didn't know you were coming’ I say looking
up the stairs then back to her.
‘You have never said that before,what's wrong
with me coming here?’ She asks and I shook my
head.
‘No there's nothing wrong,forget I even asked that’
I say to her and she nods.
‘Why are you drinking so early in the morning?’ I
asks

‘It's official,Jack and I are totally over’ She says

gulping down her wine.

not worth it’ She says and I nod.
‘I get you,I'm sorry’ I say
‘It's cool,I will get over it’ She says flashing a little
smile.
‘Babe I-’ He shut us after seeing us in there.
‘Oh God Nkokheli’ I say and looked at Cassie who
was looking at me with her raised eyebrow.
‘Uh...Uhmm… Cass this is my boyfriend Nkokheli
and baby this is my dearest friend Cassie’ I say
looking at both of them as Nkokheli was not down
here.
‘Oh nice to meet you I'm Cass’ Cassie says smiling
at him.

‘Ngithi I don't like your friend,you should stay

friendless because Carol is the best friend you
should keep’ He says before he made his way up.
‘Ohk Nkoks’ I mock him knowing very well that
he's not here. I chuckled to myself.
‘Yeah ey’ I say walking upstairs.
…..
I pent my day indoors with him and it was great. I
had fun and later that day we had our dinner
which was also fun.
I woke up early in the morning as I got ready for
school and I walked by myself as I made my way to
class.
‘Morning sir’ He was wearing his casual clothes.
‘Morning Miss Nkosazana’ He says and I smiled
at him.
‘How are you doing sir?’ I asks not sounding rude
so he better be on his best behavior

‘Great,you Miss?’ He asks,

‘Great’I say and he looked at me for some time
before he walked over to where I was.
‘Come here Miss’ He says and I looked at him
surprised but I walked over to him. He looked at
me and I was becoming so nervous. He pulled me to
him smashing his lips on mine,I tried to pull away
but I couldn't. I finally did and slapped the shit out
of him.
‘You must be so handsome and all but I don't want
you,start behaving like a damn professor you are
before I report you to the Chancellor’ I say to him
and he nods taking few steps back.
‘I..I'm sorry,I'm married and I love my wife. I
honestly don't know what got to me’ He says and I
nods walking back to my seat.

After class I went to the Cafe so I could meet up

with Cassie. She was sitting on the far corner so I
went over there.
‘Hey Cass’ I say to her
‘Hey friend how are you?’ She asks as I smiled.
‘Great,Life is good’ I say to her.
‘Yeah Life is really good’
We started talking about our days and plans and
all I wanted was to spend some time with my man.
‘I will be doing my hair today Cassie,don't you
want to accompany me to the Salon?’ I asks but she
shook her head,
‘No I can't’ She says and I nod standing on my
feet.
‘I should go then,before it becomes too late’ I say to
her before I made my way out of the Cafe heading
to the salon.

‘I want to braid my hair,It's been so long’ I say to

them and they started to braid them and it took
much longer then I expected.
‘How much?’ I asked as soon as they were done.
‘Its R300 sis’ I nod taking my purse but there was
only R250.00 Oh God.
‘I have R250.00 let me call someone I'm sure he
will be able to come’ I say taking out my phone as I
dialed Nkokheli's phone number.
‘Hello’ That was her voice,what the fuck does she
want with Nkokheli's phone.
‘What are you doing with Nkokheli's phone?’ I
asks.
‘Mmmh oh God N..Nkokheli go deeper’ She
moaned so loud and I quickly disconnected the call
as tears made their way down at me. I thought
she's my friend.

‘Sisi are you Fine?Look you can pay next time you

had with me before I made my way to the flat.
‘Babe’ He says the moment she saw me.
‘Nkokheli a.. how can you sleep with my friend?’ I
asks
‘What?’ I ask
‘I called you but Cassie answered moaning your
name’ I say to him
‘That.. She was here looking for you and I thought
you were with her earlier on but she said she didn't
see you’ He says and I looked at his eyes there was
no glimps of any lie flashing through his eyes.
‘She wanted to break us apart,I swear I don't even

Talking about fake friends.
‘Wow,You see the friendship we had is over Cass’ I
say to her
‘No no friend please’ She says
‘No,bye’ I disconnected the call clicking my tongue
They are testing our love I swear. I shook my head
throwing the phone on the bed as Nkokheli made

I toss on my bed with this dreadful dream that

wants to haunt me for the rest of my life through
my sleep. I try to get out of this nightmare but the
pressure is too much for me to free myself. I finally
let out a painful scream until I feel someone pulling
me in his or her embrace. My eyes automatically
opened both my eyes as I came face to face with my
mother. I try to pull out of her embrace but she’s
holding on too tight.
‘Mother I’m fine, it was just a bad dream’ I finally
say after a moment of silence. Mom came down
here two days ago because she misses me so damn
much. That's my Dramatic Mom people.
‘You gave me such a fright Princess don’t ever do
that again Ok’ She asks. I nodded because I really
don’t know how I will be able to shut them out
,People always dream about something. My eyes

followed the soft sound of the clock handing over

the wall then I quickly pulled out of my mother’s
embrace getting out of the covers.
‘God Mom why didn’t you tell me that it’s so late,
My professor will kill me I swear’ I shout running
out to the bathroom.
‘You will be fine Princess, I forgot about waking
you up when I heard your painful screams’ She
murmur walking out of my bedroom.
‘Its ok mom forget about it’ I shouted from the
bathroom stripping off my clothes.
I then took a quick shower due to the ticking time
on the wall. I ran to my bedroom as I dressed up
then tied my hair in a bun. My phone vibrated
indicating an incoming call. I sigh accepting the
call as I walked out of my bedroom.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Babe’ I called out for him as a smile formed across

my face
‘My love,how are you doing this morning?’ He asks
‘I'm doing fine my love how about you?’ I asks
back.
‘Great, have a wonderful day ohk?. I'm having
back to back meetings so I won't be able to contact
you till late’ He says and I sighed.
‘Cool I will see you then’ I say before I disconnected
the call.
Who was that?’ Mom says behind me I quickly
looked at her.
‘Mom don't ever do that Mom,you want me to die
of heart attack’ I say placing my hand on my chest.
‘You dating and I don't know anything about it’
She says shaking her head and I sighed walking
back to my bedroom to take my backpack then I
went downstairs

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Mom I'm leaving so I will see you’ I say kissing

her cheek as I made my way out.

Today was a wonderful day than yesterday,i was

walking back to my flat when I came across with
Cassie.
‘Princess I miss you so much’ She says causing me
to roll my eyes.
‘Yeah you right’ I say continuing with my way. I
found My mom on the couch watching television or
rather say it was watching her.
‘Hello Mom’ I greet her and she just looked at me.
‘Why Nkosazana?’ She asks and I was not totally
dump fold.
‘Why?What is it Mom?’ I asks looking at her but
she just threw a phone to me and I catch it as I toss
it over to take a look. I quickly placed my hand over
my mouth as my eyes landed on the screen.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

‘Mom I can explain’ I say slowly looking up to her.

‘A 39 years old man,He's even your father's friend’
She says looking so disappointed
‘I didn't plan for this mom it just happened’ I say
getting closer to her. She shook her head as a tear
escaped from his eye.
‘I failed you’ She whispered loud enough for me to
hear her
‘Mom I'm sorry,trust me this came so unexpected’ I
say and she stood of her feet.
‘Oh Lord!’ She exclaimed
‘Your father in on his way here,both with your
boyfriend and you're going to break this news to
him’ She says before she walked upstairs. I sighed
as tears streamed down my cheeks wondering who
could have sent these pictures to my mother. It could
be Cassie,though I have no idea where she got my
Mother's phone numbers

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

I took my phone as I went through my contact until

I stopped in Carol's phone numbers
‘Princess,how are you doing?’ She asks but I just
sniffed.
‘What's wrong Friend?’ She was so concerned I
can sense her tone.
‘M..My mom found out about my affair with
Nkokheli and I..I don't know what to do. I'm so
scared’ I say to her.
‘Oh Friend, I think you should tell them the whole
truth and see where that leads you guys’ She says.

‘Yeah You right,I should tell them everything and

I..God Dad is going to kill me’ I say running my
hands through my hairstyles
‘He won't,that guy loves you friend so I mean
you're his only daughter’ She says and I giggles.

‘You always know how to make me feel better’ I say

to her.
‘You're my best friend so I have a reason to’ She
says.
‘How is Dave?’ I asks and she giggles.
‘Tell me,what is it?’ I asks because I can feel her
smile over the phone.
‘Well Dave and I are dating’ She says and it goes
silence.
‘Say something Princess,please’ She plead but I
don't know what to say. I really don't.
‘I...I am so speechless’ I say releasing a deep breath
‘We love each other,i love him and he makes me
happy’ She says and a smile flashed on my face.
After her terrible break-up with that Cheese boy
from Cape Town I think;she didn't want to date
anyone but I guess,that has changed.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Friend you deserve it and I'm happy for you’ I say

to her.
‘Thank you,We will come and visit you some other
time’ She says and I smiled.
‘Cool,I will see you’ I say before I disconnected the
call.
‘Your father is here’ I looked up to Mom and she
wasn't even smiling,so much unlike her.
‘Where is he?’ I asked.
‘He just parked’ She says walking to the kitchen. I
sighed walking up to my bedroom and I threw my
backpack on top of the bed. I changed to my
tracksuits with socks before I made my way back
downstairs.
‘M..Dad’ I say and he stood up pulling me in for a
hug.
‘My daughter,look how beautiful you are’ He says
pulling out of the hug and I threw a faint smile.
LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.
 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Thank you Dad’ I say and he leads me to the

couch.
‘So what bought me here?I had to cancel my
meetings’ He says and the door was pushed open as
Nkokheli made his way in.
‘Uhmm,Good afternoon everyone’ He says with his
killer smile.
‘Nkokheli,what are you doing here?’ Father asks
and Nkokheli cleared his throat.
‘I..I received a message stating I should come here
and it's important’ He says throwing a glance at
me and I just shrugged my shoulders
‘Yeah it was me,there's something important
Princess wants to tell us’ Mom says and I sighed.
A tear escaped from my eye as I looked up to Dad.
‘Daddy I..I'm so sorry,I didn't plan for this to
happen’ I say as they streamed down my cheeks.

LOVE AND TEMPTATIONS.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘What is it my daughter?’ He asks so concerned

and I shook my head as my eyes traveled from my
mom to Nkokheli,then to my father.
‘I..I'm dating Nkokheli’ I say and he looked at me
before he shook his head standing up.
‘No that's not true’ He says cracking out into
laughter but when he saw that no one was
laughing his face instantly changed.
‘No Princess,Nkokheli is your Uncle!He's my best
friend you can't date him’ He says pacing up the
room.
‘I..I love him’ I really don't know where is that
coming from. In few minutes punches were thrown
at Nkokheli as my my mom was trying to pull dad
from Nkokheli.
‘You son of a gun!She's only 18 and you're what?
39!’ He was fuming with anger.
‘Mzi I'm sorry’ Nkokheli says to my dad.

 LOVE Amanda Mnguni

‘Fuck you!!!Whatever you two have ends today!’

Dad says and I shook my eyes looking at him.
‘Dad no..I love him’ I say but you know how Zulu
men are.
‘You are over,you're breaking up and I don't want
to see you too together alone nx’ He cuss walking
upstairs but he came back after some few minutes
while we were in a total silence.
‘Break up with her’ Dad says and I turned to look
at Nkokheli as tears streamed down my cheeks
while I was shaking my head.
‘I..I'm sorry Princess,We can't be together anymore’
He says and I went on my knees but he didn't seem
to care about all that because he just walked out of
the house.
‘You Princess,I don't want to see you next to him.
You will focus on your school work and forget
about him’ He says and I just got up and ran off to
my room banging it.

I was woken up by this headache. I looked out of the

window and it was already dark. I went back to
sleep without any trouble.
‘Princess wake up’ I groan turning to the other
side.
‘Leave me alone please’ I murmur pulling the
covers.
‘I know you're hurt but your Father and I wants
what's best for you’ She says and I slowly opened
my eyes.
‘And Nkokheli is wrong for me?I get it’ I say
turning to the other side.
‘He's not good for you,He's 21 years older than you
Princess’ She says.
‘Love is not about age,I love him’ I say.
‘He's your father's best friend too’ She says and I
sighed closing my eyes.

‘That doesn't mean anything at all,I love him and

that what matters to me’ I say.
‘Yeah right,Get up so you can get ready for school’
She says to me and I toss on my stomach.
‘I'm not going to school’ I say to her.
‘No, you won't stay here and feel sorry for yourself
Princess get up’ She says but I won't get up. I'm
not going.
‘I'm coming home with you,I will come back after a
week or few days’ I say kicking the covers off.
‘No you won't’ She says and I sighed.
‘I'm going Mom’ I say to her.

We were on our way to KZN since I managed to

advice my parents on going back home with them.
We finally arrived at home,I miss being here. I
climbed out of the car dragging my suitcases to the
house. I sighed as I walked up to my room. My
phone instantly beeped indicating a message and I
took my phone it was Nkokheli. He broke up with
me so I wonder what the hell does he want from
me. It ran indicating an incoming call this time
around.
‘What do you want?’ I ask as soon as I accepted the
call.
‘I want you baby,I love you’ He says taking me by
surprise.

‘Cool,I will come by’ He says before he disconnected

the call. I closed my eyes as I let sleep over come me.

I woke up it was already dinner time so I got off

the bed heading to the bathroom. I rinsed my face
before I made my way downstairs.
‘Hellos’ I say the moment I approached them
‘Hey,here is your plate’ Mom says handing it over
to me. Dad was quiet maybe still mad at me.
‘Thank you Mom’ I say taking it from her.

I ate in a total silence before I made my way to my

room waiting for them to get done with what they
were up to. In few minutes they were done so I
walked out heading ton the car out.
‘Hey’ I say to him.

‘It is a bit awkward’ I say shifting a little bit
uncomfortable
‘Yeah look I love you Princess and I can't let you
go’ He says.
‘I love you so much too’ I say with a smile. I wasn't
about to play hard to get on my man. Noooo this
guy is mine.
‘We are dating again right?’ He asks and I nod.
‘Yeah,we are telling our family and we're not
backing down please Nkokheli’ I say.
‘Yeah we not’ He says with his widest smile.

‘Don't be like that,My mom is a cool person you

know’ He says making our way in. He knoked
before this beautiful old lady opened the door.
‘Hey baby’ She says to Nkokheli but the poor
Nkokheli groaned in annoyance.
‘Mom you keep on embarrassing me every time’ He
says and I roll my eyes.
‘Who is this lovely lady?’ She asks looking at me
with a beautiful smile.
‘My girlfriend,my woman actually’ He says pulling
me to him.
‘She's beautiful,let's go in’ She says welcoming him.

They walked in hand in hand and Mzi stood up

looking at them so frustrated.

the reason I organized this dinner is to tell you that
I'm dating Nkokheli’ Princess say with her widest
smile.
‘W...What?’ He didn't want to believe it. After
what happened few days ago he thought they won't

love her,I'm in love your daughter and I wish you
can give us your blessings’ Nkokheli says

you to break my little girl's heart. I will kill you’
Mzi says and everyone chuckled while Princess
giggled.
‘We can eat,before it gets cold’ They all gathered
around the table. It was full of laughter and
conversations were exchanged from here and there.
‘Hello family’ Carol shouts making her way either
