Chapter 9.
.
Mfundo POV
.
Next morning I woke up with so much determination that I was leaving. I checked for any available flights but only found one for tomorrow which meant I just had to avoid Drew and thank God he didn’t sleep in this room last night. I decided to take a bath and made my way downstairs to the dining area and I saw everybody was already seated enjoying breakfast. My eyes met Drew’s but I quickly moved them from him and took a seat next to Amanda. I decided to concentrate on my phone.
“No good morning or nothing?” Trell spoke and I raised my eyes to him to tell him where to get off but Amanda spoke up first. “Fuck off Trell!” She spat and I gave her a brief look and she gave me a small smile. I know she knows how I was feeling. I won’t lie I just wanted to cry in her arms and let her tell me where to get off. I needed her so much. She held my hand as a sign to tell me she’s here for me and I found myself squeezing her hand back.
“Mfundo and Drew. I’m really sorry. I didn’t think this through.” Lwazi apologized but I didn’t say a thing to her. I just looked down on my phone. I texted my grandma telling her about everything that has happened but instead of her telling me to come back she said I mustn’t be a coward. I must face Drew and stand tall so he’ll know I didn’t care about him anymore but that was just a lie. I still cared so much about him. I loved him so much.
“Breakfast is served.” This cheerful lady served us. She wasn't here last night when we got hete. I couldn’t miss how she eyed Drew and I found myself flaring my nose when Drew entertained her. Shameful man. He is married but still flirting with women like he is single. Cheater
“Idiot” I huffed lowly stuffing my food as he touched this girl's hand.

Drew’s POV
.
I saw how Mfundo kept getting pissed whenever Betty entered the room because of how she kept flirting with me and I won’t lie deep down I was glad that she still had feelings for me because I know I still have feeling for her. I shouldn’t have married Kim. I took it too far and married Kim to hurt her but I know I would have stayed married to Kim had Trell and Lwazi decided to mind their own business but no they had to play Cupid and now I knew that Mfundo didn’t need to leave without me. I needed her and damn I have a lot to fix cause my emotional ass done messed up in the last few months.
“I found a flight for tomorrow so I should be out of your hair soon.” She spoke making everybody quiet down in the table and that’s when I realized she was talking to me so I nodded and acted like I was cool when deep down I didn’t want her to leave.
“So we’re going sight seeing after breakfast, you coming right?” Lwazi said excitedly looking at her but Mfundo stood up and just left the table.
“She’ll come around.” Trell said comforting Lwazi who was all sad now. “What about you Drew, you’re coming?” I shook my head. I needed to talk to Mfundo so I was glad they were all going out. “I’m also not feeling it.” Priya said touching her head like she’s sick or something but I didn’t pay her any attention.
“Wee forget it. You are coming with us.” Karen said in a bored tone and I didn’t even want to know what was that about.
.
After breakfast Everybody indeed left for their tour of New York and I decided to go over to the room that I’m suppose to be sharing with Mfundo. I decided to knock and she opened up after a minute or so.
“What do you want?” She flared her nose clearly showing she was still upset with me. “I slept on the couch yesterday so I just want to take a nap.” I said and I saw her debate with herself for sometime before she walked away from the door and I guess that was her way of saying come in. I walked in my eyes never left her body and I found myself remembering all the times I had my lips all over her body. The time I would kiss her soft lips. I found myself walking closer, it was like her scent just kept pulling me to her and I couldn’t control my feet. “Your room is that side.” She turned around only for her to stumble on my chest, I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist. There was silence for a good minute.
“What are you doing?” She asked staring into my eyes. “I just want to apologize about yesterday.” I said, I didn’t even care how close we were at this moment. I just wanted her in my arms.
“Uhm can you let me go?” She said and pulled away from me. “Your room is that side.” Those were her last words before she walked away from me and locked herself in her room. “Fuck!” I muttered before I went to my room and dropped myself in this beautiful soft bed.
“What are you doing Shaun? You’re married for heaven’s sake.” I was speaking to myself. Trell is gonna pay for this. I decided best I really just fall asleep.
..
Whole day Mfundo spent it locked in her room to avoid me and I felt like this day was a waste. I should have went out sight seeing as well because I didn’t get anywhere with Mfundo.
Time for dinner came and everybody was dressed up except for Mfundo but I still think she looked more beautiful than everybody in here. I loved how she kept stealing glances at me when she thought I wasn't looking.
The dinner was fun with everybody having fun with the games they were playing but me and Mfundo didn’t participate we were just cheering them on. Everybody kept drinking alcohol and enjoying themselves and I decided I was going to sleep early, my real aim was to corner Mfundo and probably get back with her.
“Goodnight guys.” I stood up and they all were begging me to stay a lil longer but I knew I just couldn’t take staring at Mfundo who kept on giving me the evil eye whenever our eyes met. I dabbed everybody and went to sleep.
Mfundo POV.
.
I had to stay and act like I wasn’t sleepy to make sure by the time I went to my room I’ll find Drew sleeping. I don’t know how one moment he can’t stand me. The next he’s staring at me and trying to make advances at me.
I finally couldn’t take it so I also said my goodbyes, it was going to 1 am in the morning. The moment I got to my room I made sure I made as little noise as I could but even that didn’t help. There he was standing by his door.
“Hey.” I laughed nervously since I really look stupid trying to tip toe my way to my bedroom.
“You tiptoeing to avoid me?” He laughed lightly but I shook my head. “No. I didn’t want wake you up.” I lied but he laughed nodding. “I was about to be surprised, why would you wanna avoid me? I didn’t do shit to you Mfundo. You hurt me by sneaking behind my back with Jason.” He said kissing his teeth. This weird motherfucker.
“So daytime you’re nice and tryna get in my pants night time you remember what I did to you?” I asked closing the door so I could make my way to my room.
“That’s the shit I hate. You don’t realize you broke me.” He spat quietly. “So you just had to break me more?” I asked staring at him but he shook his head. “You shouldn’t have lied Mfundo. You should have been honest with me from the start.” He said and I nodded when I felt his emotions on his tone. “I’m sorry Drew. I really am. I know I messed up and I’m sorry but I was a kid. I was barely a teenager when me and Jason happened.” I said honestly feeling my tears fill my eyes. “You lying about it made me think that you still loved him.” He said and I nodded. “I’m sorry but you shouldn’t have married her, you didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself.” I said as a traitor tear fell. “I did give you chance after chance to come clean but you didn’t. Everybody knew except for me Mfundo!” He yelled making me jump at his tone. “You still shouldn’t have married her.” I cried and I knew I couldn’t take this any longer so I tried to disappear to my room but he stopped me and turned to him.
“Do you love him?” He asked, his eyes were begging me to say no and I shook my head no. “I love you.” I felt my tears spill out of my eyes. “I love you so much.” After that my tears came out to play. It’s like they were showing off to him. He wiped them away and pulled me closer to him and our foreheads met.
“I love you.” He said and just like that our lips connected and the electricity that he has always given me came to me this time much stronger. He pulled me much tighter to him as our lips danced together and I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck as we kept eating each other’s face off. I missed this. I missed touching him. He pulled me much tighter closing the little distance between us.
“Mfundo, You can use my roo-“ Amanda made us pull apart so fast as we now stared at her. She crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. “Or not.” She said and clappped her hands once again. “Know what never mind me.” She said and gave us one brief look before she disappeared out of the room.
“Uhm goodnight.” I said quickly to Drew and went to lock myself in my room. What the hell was that. He is married Mfundo. What is wrong with you? “Jesus.” I took this huge breath leaning on my door.
“Mfundo really?” He knocked on my door but I ignored his married ass and went to my bed and just threw myself on it ignoring Drew’s knock.
