NOT EDITED!

"Tasha's at The Zone; Rosebank - 4pm." - me.

-----

Well I need to go to Soweto to fetch my car and then go to Rosebank for my meeting and if I have time I will pick Nathi and Lihle from school. Holidays are finally over.

After dressing up in simple sweater and sweatpants, I request an Uber and make my outside. The trip is very costly but what can I do, I am extremely excited to see my car.

The original colour was a bright white exterior, and all brown interior. Nothing fancy...

Getting to the workshop in Soweto I'm immediately directed to my car and it looks AMAZING!

The exterior is matte black, with a bright red lining around the car with red rims too.

I got the car lifted too so I could get bigger wheels, although if I'm being honest, I'm a bit short, so it worries me how I'll get in and out.

I like my cars big. I know it will be a mission to get inside but I'm a big girl I'll make a plan!!

The interior is red and white. Lihle is not allowed to eat in this car

The car seats are red leather with my name on the head-rests, Yezi...

I'm so in love with this new look!!!

I make my final payment and drive home.

At home I go straight to my bedroom and change my sweats.

I change into blue Kappa track pants, a while sleeveless crop top, an oversized denim jacket and gold high heels with gold jewellery. I do light make up and style my hair into two buns.

Just before driving out I text Sindy and Nana telling them that dinner is at my place tonight.

It's 2:45pm and I have time to go pick up my minions.
I make my way to their school and all eyes are on me.

"I'm at the school parking lot, Please fetch Lihle. Hurry I have a meeting in Rosebank at 4." - an SMS to Nathi.

Lihle's crèche is a 2 minute walk from Nathi's school so they always come home together with Uber or with a taxi.

I see Nathi making out with Nami behind my car, sies! I'm so grossed out.

I open the door and step out the car and I see Nathi covering Lihle's eyes with his hands.

I clear my throat and embarrassment flushes on Nami and Nathi's faces.

I walk towards them and give them a dead stare and just pick up Lihle and put her inside the car. .

"Ma, I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm really reaaaaalllyy sorry." Nami says shyly.

I let out a giggle, "Don't worry about it baby girl but we have to go now so finish up your goodbyes you guys will see each other on Monday..."

I had to drive home and back to Rosebank with these minions because Nathi wanted to go out with Lihle so they went to change and get their overnight bags because I'm going to drop them off at Nqoba's for the weekend.

After a few minutes of driving to Rosebank Lihle falls asleep, which gives me the opportunity to talk to Nathi.

"Ma your car looks so good, I'm loving the outside. I know for a fact I'm going to be the talk of the school for a long time."

I laugh, "I know right, it looks completely different from how it was before, it dented my bank account really badly, but it was totally worth it."

He smiles while shaking his head.

Silence.

Silence.

Awkward Silence.

.....

"So... err...How was school?"

"School was okay I guess, I'm just struggling with my Maths but I know with your help I'll be all good."
"Yesss wena Grade 10 is showing you flames!" I say while laughing

"Nooooo, it's not! Everything is easy!"

"Whatever!" I say while rolling my eyes

There's an awkward silence for a while so I clear my throat and say, "I'm meeting with your father today, I need to finalize some things concerning the custody of you and Lihle..."

He tightens his jaws, starts cracking his knuckles and takes a deep breath, "He was at my party you know? He had the audacity to come and see my on my birthday, he said he was there to show some love to his first born... I don't have a father anymore..."
I let out a loud sigh and say okay...

I just left them at the entrance of the cinema after paying for their tickets and giving them money for snacks, games and McDonald's..

OHHH SNAP IT'S 4:15pm!!

I rush to Tasha's and I spot him.

"Sorry I'm late I had to run a few errands..."

"It's not a problem I just got here a few minutes ago, you look beautiful by the way..."-him.

"Thank you,"

After placing our orders and having our meals over an awkward debate about which is better between BMW and MERCEDES BENZ... After eating I pull out an envelope and pass it to him.

"What's this?"

"Open it and you'll see,"
