Graceful Till The End

NOMTHA
We arrived after an hour and Enzo assured me that the luggage will be here by the end of the day.
Well there were a lot of people gathered and I think we were late but as long as I came.
I spotted Lisa and she looked so beautiful.My friend though.
And the notes that were thrown her way.God!that was a lot of money.

A few hours later the ceremony was complete and Lisa just hugged me.
Lisa:thank you.
Me:thats what friends are for.And I'm so happy for you.
Lisa:I see y'all are wearing matching outfits.
Me:don't start.
Lisa:just stating the obvious.
Me:I forgot how you can be.
Lisa:but for real thank you.
Me:anytime.
We hugged again.
Me:sisters forever?
Lisa:sisters forever.
I walked back to where Enzo was.It seems like he knew these people.
Enzo:Hey.
Me:hi.
He introduced me to the guys he was talking to as his wife.I'm just as surprised.This guy is something else.
Well time flew so fast that we had to leave.I said bye to uLisa and surprise surprise there was a driver waiting for us.
We got inside.
Me:so how did you think the ceremony was?
Enzo:it was nice.
Me:you look bored.
Enzo:it was nice honestly.
Me:I'm not sure if I believe you.
Enzo:believe what you want Nomthandazo.
He has never called me Selena.How will the name sound when he says it.
The journey was silent.Like really silent.
When we arrived at the palace after sometime he opened the door for me.
Me:thank you.
We just walked inside and we were met by Ma.
Ma:and they finally came to visit.
Enzo:ma its just for the night.We're leaving tomorrow.
Ma:you still came to visit.Unfortunately your father is still a bit busy.You might see him later.
Enzo:of course ma.We'll be upstairs right?
He said lifting an eyebrow looking at me.
Me:yes ma.
Ma:okay.
We went upstairs and he opened his room.Its so nice.And white.
While I was here I was using a different room.
Enzo:make yourself comfortable.I'll be back with the bag.
Me:alright.
He left the room and I just stood up and looked at everything.
I opened the closet and it had some of his clothes.
He came back.
Me:this was your room as a child?
Enzo:yeah!I just had the bed changed.
Me:I see.Its stylish.
Enzo:thank you.
Me:you said you play the guitar?
Enzo:I do.
Me:wait since we have nothing to do since you're the one with the great voice between us lets do this.Do you have a guitar in your room?
Enzo:it must be here somewhere.
He just opened some drawers and he took it.It was matte black.
Me:custom designed.
Enzo:yes.Only the best.
Me:letha.
He gave it to me and it felt so good yet strange.It felt like I was holding a part of him.Strange.
Me:I'll play the guitar and you sing.
He laughed.
Enzo:there is no way I'm doing that.Forget it.
Me:please.Just this once.Please.Unless you're up for dancing.
Enzo:dancing?nah!I'll pass.
Me:singing it is then.
Enzo:I didn't even agree.
Me:you didn't have too.
Enzo:weee! Thandaza you're treading on dangerous waters.
Me:and I hope I don't fall.Now which song?
Enzo:on one condition.
Me:which is?
Enzo:come sit here.
He was sitting on the couch.
Me:next to you?
Enzo:on my lap.Take it or leave it.
Me:leave it.
Enzo:no singing then.
Me:kodwa thats blackmail.
Enzo:you forced my hand.
Me:fine.
I sat on his lap while I was holding the guitar in place.
Me:Sir I'm waiting for our hampore Kwesta to take our breaths away.
He chuckled.
Enzo:I'm offended.
Me:but your voice's deepness is almost close to Kwesta's.I'm sorry ke.It was rude either way.
He smiled.He should smile often.The world would be a better place.
He's always so serious and intimidating.Sometimes I don't know how to behave around him.He just switches moods in an instant and I'm always trynna learn what to do and what not to do.
Enzo:you come up with a song.
Me:let me get thinking.
Aha!I came up with a perfect one.
Me:Too Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith.
Enzo:promise you won't cry?
Me:I won't.Positive.
I started playing it with my guitar while he took centre stage.
I stopped playing midway as he sang.No.Don't cry Thandaza just don't.
I tried to play some chords and catch up but tears were fighting their way to fall.I tried to fight them and when he sang the very chorus in that tone.I failed as the tears started to slowly rool down my cheeks.
Enzo:I'm wayy to good at goodbyes.
