Chapter Thirty Two

Start from the beginning
                                        

I climb off the bed and go take a quick shower before getting dressed in something comfortable and baggy. I wanted nothing but comfort for the rest of this day. After combing out my afro I head downstairs to find my man. He's not in the kitchen. He's definitely not by the lounge...or where the pool table was...or even by the huge piano space. There's only one place I could possibly find him if he didn't leave me alone in this huge house and that's where I discover him.

Lifting and breathing in a controlled manner as he laid flat on the bench and pressed ahead. Those looked heavy and pretty much impossible for me to even try them out. He clearly can't hear me as I made my way in past all these training equipment. I'll probably try out the treadmill one of these lovely days and that was a promise I was planning on keeping and fulfilling.

He lifts the waits and places them on the rack before sitting up and grunting like a madman. A sexy madman. My sexy madman. I'm pretty sure the adrenaline flowing through his system right now was beyond my imagination.

When he notices me he removes an airpod from his ear and smiles at me. I'm quick to return it. "She's finally awake...did you sleep well my love?" He breathes out and I find my seat on the space on the bench right in front of him. He's a sweaty mess, even the grey top looked soaked in the front. I pass him his towel and he eagerly wipes away the sweat on his face before throwing the towel over his shoulder.

"I had a dream again...a confusing one at that cause she kept on saying the same thing over and over again."
"With your mom in it?"
"Yeah...she kept on saying ngingavumi and wouldn't say what I shouldn't agree to. I mean if she's trying to tell me something then she should just downright do it cause it's honestly not helping." I huff.

I still haven't even thought of how the heck I was going to tackle this dream thing of mine and where exactly I would get the help I clearly needed.

"Ungavumi? Well I hope she didn't mean that you mustn't agree to me kissing you," He says placing two fingers at the bottom ochin and motions me closer to him, claiming my lips.

"Well I hope not too," I say, after stopping the kiss. My lips still close enough to his to taste the mint on his tongue. I find myself smiling before backing away and scan this whole place for no tangible reason.

"I got a call from the hospital two hours back. Zonke is awake." He says and gets up and off the bench. Bathong.

"Hawu, and why didn't you tell me about this?"
"You were asleep Sthandwa sam. I didn't see the need to wake you up because of news that will rob the wellbeing of my wife."

I frown and get up following behind him as we made our way out of his personal gym. Okay, he's right. Plus I was tired. And besides that meant that she was healing and could finally answer some damn questions.

"I can take organise Zakhele to take you to see her if you want." He says getting a cold bottle of water from the fridge.
"You're not going with me?"
"I can't Sthandwa sam. I have to meet Sivulele and finalise the statement before it's release, and I have no idea how long that would take. I also need to ask her to start preparing my speech for the grand opening of Siqalo that may happen roundabout next week." He says and downs some of the water while I can't seem to stop myself from opening my eyes wide, surprised by his words.

"You mean next week next week?" I ask excited.
"Mh-hm. Next week next week." He nods with a chuckle and I squeal.
"That's amazing news my love...when did the inspection finish? I mean we were there just yesterday and...wow."
"I got a lot of calls today and emails. Charlie sent me a confirmation email that by tomorrow we'll have the papers we need for the go ahead. See if you start with a good structure and quality products the final thing will be just as good."
