LUNGI.
After taking a shower I go and join mah and Preston, they are having a deep conversation about something and I guess it’s about the wedding cause I don’t hear a word they are saying. I wonder what these two are talking about.
Me:“ what are you two gossiping about? ”
Pres:“ just wedding stuff ” he smiles hmmm
Me:“ I don’t believe you ” I say smiling
Mah:“ ok, we thought you might be having phone sex with your husband to be ” they giggle
Me:“ mah, you can’t say that and we weren’t ”
Pres:“ they why are you sleeping like you have just taken a shower? ”
Me:“ I did cause I was sweaty ”
Mah:“ the way your blushing says otherwise ” I smile and look down cause they don’t wanna know what I was doing to myself… I wonder what mbuso would think if I told him.
Me:“ leave me alone,. Mah I have beeneaning to ask you something ”
Mah:“ go ahead ”
Me:“ why did never get married after the years mom died ”
Mah:“ you’re dad was mess for years and when sicelo came back into our lives again he got so much better and I thought height meet someone serious and get married again but he never did cause he always said your mother is his soulmate ”
