Chapter Twenty.

"Mxm." I eat further. 

"The part I liked the most was when he said we will be blessed with kids...actually it was the way he said it..." He clears his throat. "...Your woman...ooouuu!" He shivers behind me "...will bear your children, carrying out your name in pride. She will grow your home and make it warm just like her heart."

I smile. I think I liked that part too. 

"We've never really talked about when we'd... You know when we'd want to start creating this family of ours. I mean do we just want to jump right into it after marriage?"

"Mhnn...probably not. I think I'd like to enjoy the transition of going from girlfriend and boyfriend... to fiance and fiancée to husband and wife." He says. "I want us to enjoy that part of our lives too, enjoy my wife before we're stuck changing diapers and all that." 

I laugh.

"Before we're mama and papa...Yeah I like that point. So we're getting you condoms for our first night?"

He sighs. "Not how I imagined our first time really." 

I turn around to face him, bowl in my hand. I chuckle as I feed him some of the salad he made. "Okay, there are other options too...like the pill and..." I cringe. "...the injection. There's a lot."

"Maybe I should call our family doctor and then take it from there. I'm sure he'll be able to tell us all we need to know."

I smile before leaning in to peck his lips. "Ak'fani amadlozi angiphe indoda eshisayo (At least the ancestors gave me a hot man.)"

"Uyazi nawe. (You know it.)" He chuckles again and pecks me back. He takes the bowl from my hands and puts it on the counter before taking my hands into his. He kisses the back of them and looks at me.

"I have to go see my dad tomorrow...all the way in eHlamu."

"Sounds exciting."

"Not when you're meeting your so called stepmother and step siblings as well."

"I'm sure they're not that bad Sthandwa sam."

"I know, I just don't know if I can deal with it all at once."

"You're a strong woman baby. I'd go with you if I could."

"I know." I sigh. I really hope that woman is not around tomorrow too because just thinking of her just makes me want to hit a wall with my head.

"I think it's time we go get some rest since there's a lot to do tomorrow." Bangi says.

I nod. He was right. "I'll tell Zakhele to personally drive you to eHlamu too. I don't want you driving yourself." I remove my hands from his.

"Hhaybo what's wrong with my driving?"

"Nothing. I'm just saying." He shrugs. I shake my head.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." I playfully squeeze his thighs and attempt on walking away when he grabs a hold of my waist before I even get far. 

"You're coming with me Missy." He says pulling me to him. I pull down this top.

"What do you mean, my room is this way."
