The Journey Of Life

➠CHAPTER 13

Nobuhlebenkosazane POV

I stand her looking at him , walking towards me barefoot , we decided to leave our shoes in the car , wanting to feel the sand through our feets , and I must say , the sand is very hot but that won't stop us , I can't even stand properly on my feet because of how hot it is , I keep standing with one foot then using the other one. I smile looking at his hands holding ice creams , the right hand holding what looks like a chocolate ice cream and the left hand holding plain ice cream .

“ hurry up , it's melting ! ” I shout at him , why is he even modelling his way to me , this is not a modelling runway . Is he not affected by how hot the sand is ? Or I'm the dramatic one .

He tries to hurry up picking up his pace , but that makes the plain ice cream to fall flat on the sand , he stop and looks at me , his eyes wide in shock .

“ Come on ! " I shout again laughing this time , he looks so cute , like a child wanting to cry for their fallen ice cream , he looks at me and looks behind him , looking at the ice cream truck .

No ! He can't go back , we'll just share my ice cream .

“ No ! Don't go back Nhlonipho! ” I shout , this sand is so hot and I can't keep on standing here for too long , otherwise my feet are going to be burnt .

“ but I want one ! " Just like a baby , he whines .

“ no please I'm Burning ” I whine back wanting to stomp my feet on the sand but I can't do that , why can't he listen to me and walk to me , we will share the ice cream , I do not mind at all , just kidding I'm not sharing it !

“ Benkosazane I also want the ice cream ” he shouts for me to hear him .

” look , Nhlonipho come here , with the ice cream it's melting already , we'll share it " the ice cream is melting , and I so want it , this is just a trap I ain't sharing ice cream with nobody , I didn't tell him to drop his own.

“ but..." He looks behind at the ice cream truck and back at me again , having second thoughts , but I interrupt him before he could finish .

“ please!!" I shout this time more louder .

He looks at me and drops the ice cream , smilling innocently as if he didn't just do it , he then licks his hand where the ice cream was melting and makes a disgusted face .

“ Nhlonipho! " I just mumble to myself , defeated.

He runs to me , and hugs me ,

“ why would you do that ? " I ask him , I've been craving for one since forever .

“ it's only fair , no ice cream for me , no I've cream for you " he says smiling at me , I don't understand why his smiling .

I hold his hand continuing with our walk , but I'm hungry and I really want ice cream .

“ we would have shared mine Nhlonipho ” I said looking at him ,

He just looks at me , and smiles , something I've notice about Nhlonipho is that he doesn't smile a lot , unless he's with family which is Zama and Nhlakanipho and me of course . I haven't seen his family members since they stay in Durban.  But he does talk about them there and there especially about his mother , father and Nhlamulo his brother. 

“ Benkosazane Wami " my heart melts , every time when he calls me by this name I could feel butterflies dancing in my stomach.

“ Yebo (yes) ” I reply to him.

“ ngyakuthanda sthandwa Sami " he kissed my forehead holding my hand as we continue to walk .

I blush
