5:39p.m.

She decided to wear a black dress with lace covering her arms an most of her back. It opened at the front emphasizing on her exposed cleavage, it's length didn't leave much to the imagination but it's elastic cottom made up for the discomfort. A silver pendant with a black emerald grace her neck with its presence, the matching friendship bracelet hang on her wrist finishing the look will a small band on her finger. She slipped on her red bottom, black heels, took her clutch bag then she was out

Her phone buzzed grabbing her attention

Chris: You ready?

Mukhetwa: yeah

Chris: Gud cz I'm outside

She ran back to her room peeping out the window just to find a long, black limo on the street

Mukhetwa: Wow! I would like to compliment you on your impeccable timing Mr Wild

Chris: OH why thank you Ms Christ

Mukhetwa: I'll be ryt down jst give me a sec

Chris: Cnt wait to c u

Mukhetwa: Lol 😅 u gonna have to

She took off her heels, stealthly sneaking her way down the stairs. She let out a breath of relief the moment she heard the gentle click of the door closing. She took a breath to calm her nerves before walking over to the limo, she gave a slight nod to the driver as he held the door open for her as she was welcomed by Chris' face splitting grin
"hey, you look.... Uhm.." he swallows, eyes still stuck on her
"thanks. I think " she giggles as the color rises up her neck. "You u don't look shabby yourself," she bends over putting on her shoes, a bit out of breath.
"Just ran a marathon?" she could hear the amusement in his voice. "Nah, just snuck out of a house," she looks up a smile after slipping on the last one. "Damn, badass hey?" he smirked. "Yeah I think you're starting to rub off on me," she chuckles as the driver pulls into the traffic. "Uhh! Me???!!! I'm the most well behaved person like ever," he clutches his chest in humorous disbelief. "Yeah right," she scoffed
They both broke into a laughing fit as the drove into the night.

******************

The car came to a hault. "My lady," Chris opens the door for her. She takes his outstretched hand getting out one leg at a time. "Quiet the gentleman tonight are we?" she says as Chris ushers her through the door. "I aim to impress," he slightly tightens his grip around her as they enter.

She automatically looks up to the majestic chandelier, whilst it twinkled under the midnight blue, dom-like ceiling filled with constellations with 3D, golden boundaries. The round tables were clothed in deep purple ontop of silver tiled floors. They were set with see through chairs and dark colored vases with scented candles inside. Largeand proud puller surrounded the hall with French quotations and the it English translations ingraved into the in cursive. There were detailed angelic figures ontop, somehow they look familiar triggering a vision

Vision
"Mukhetwa! Mukhetwa!" a deep, calm, disembodied called out. She blinked trying to clear her head, finding herself in a misty, heaven like place. "Mukhetwa!," the voice continued
"Yes?" she squeaked
" I am the Lord your God. You shall nt fear. I have summoned you here to guide you," a figure finally appeared with a blinding light behind it. Stunned by the rarity of her situation she remained paralyzed. She shaded her eyes as the light got brighter

"You have done nothing but make me proud, sadly recently I have reasons to believe you are no longer worthy. "
"How father?" She inquired moving forward
"You have allowed the people around you to stray you from your path. Mukhetwa. Do you know what your name means?" His voice remained gentle. "Of course. Holy," she looked up with certainty
"Exactly, blessed with holiness are you. Now my holy child I suggest you stay away from the people you know as Chisterphor and Luka yet remain close to Mona & Kara they wil keep you safe, as for the boys their presents can condemn you to an eternal life of pain and suffering."
" Father i don't understand, how?" conern & confusion poisoning her features
" When their past finally catches up with their present & their sin can no longer be forgiven. If you are found with them you'll remain trapped by their wicked lies. I say this to thee not to harm you but to save you from a fate you cannot handle. I love you & want the best for you. I need you to be safe because I store for you is nothing but a bright future.... " His voice slowly faded so did everything else

" Mukhetwa?" she flitched as Chris' hand came into contact with her shoulder.
"You okay? " his hand found its way back to her waist as Mukhetwa mumbled an 'I'm fine' trying her best to hide the truth. "Okay... Our table's ready," He guides the way, as she smiles weakly. He pulls her chair out and tucks it in when she's seated, "Thank you." she looks up to find him still watching her. "You ar most certainly welcome...... You're one of the most important people in my life, you know?" he sits directly in front of her. Words failed her again, crimson rushing up her neck. "Well you are," Mukhetwa mindlessly watched the wine disappear betwixt his lips.

The comes to take their orders before briskly moving away. "Soo.... Tell me about yourself?" Chris starts in reversion. "Uhm... Well I'm an only child, my mother disappeared after I was born, have no idea why," Mukhetwa sigh taking back control of her emotions. "Never knew my father but apparently he was some hotshot at his work. I live with my guardians assigned to take care of me by a grandfather I haven't seen as well. I call my guardians my parents," she shrugs. "Makes it easier to accept and that much easier to ignore." she was a bit tearful at the end but controlled herself enough to smile. "Wow guess I wasn't the only one with a messed up childhood," he tries to lighten the mood.

"Don't let me take all the attention, let's hear about you," Mukhetwa leaned slightly forward, curiousty taking over. I donno if I should, " he scratched the back of his neck." Come on, I did it too, " Mukhetwa in courage, her eyes set alight by wonder. It's a bit complicated, " he chuckles at himself." I have an identical, older, twin brother, a younger sister ... Well she thinks she is, a women I am condemned to call a mother, a exasperative, frigid, pugnacious, ominous father, the king of hell," Mukhetwa smiles at his choice of words but his expression remains serious shortly followed by hers." Okay... Can i ask you something? " she continues to tread carefully." Three questions, " he swolls before preparing himself for he questioning." Where's your twin brother?" she tries to catch his eyes. "There was a war, somehow we ended up on opposite sides of the same war. After his side obliterated our, we were banashed. He cut off all ties withe the family, except dad of course, he always knows where everyone is. Haven't see him since till recently." His jaws clenched.

" Why did you say your sister is the one who thinks she is, don't you? " she frowned trying to see through his walls." My mother only had my brother and I from my father. After he left her, she's been sleeping around. One night she let in the wrong guy, he brought his friends then they raped her, thus Mia, " he tilts the rest of the red ink down before pouring more. Mukhetwa gasped, stupored." Mia's your sister? " disbelief was palpable in her voice." Yes, " his eyes shoot from across the room finally locking with hers, his stare dark (Chris had never been dark or serious around her, it kinda reminded him of Luka) She flushes at the thought.

And as if her thoughts were heard (or just good timing) her phone buzzed and there and behold it was Luka. "Excuse me," Chris abruptly stood up. "I'll be back," he walks off heading for the doors at the back.

Luka: sorry I ran off today, had some things 2 attend 2. 6:25

Mukhetwa : Oh no it's okay, hardly noticed u were gone😅. 6:26

Luka: I'm finding that very hard to believe. Especially after wat we did in the closet 6:27

Mukhetwa :After wat U did 2 Me. And believe cz its tru. 6:28

Luka:Calm down fisty, u knw u liked it. Bt let me jst give u the benefit of the doubt 😈. 6:30

Mukhetwa: Funny 🙄. 6:31

She giggles. A phone starts to ring, interrupting her text conversation but it wasn't hers. She looked around to find that Chris had left his phone on the table. She picked it up before it attracted more attention.

'MY LUV' Appears on the screen. "It's probably his aunt or something," she reassures herself before picking up

Mukhetwa : hello
MY luv: hey baby, I just wanted to say that I hope she's doing well
Mukhetwa : Uhm.....
MY luv: No its okay don't stress tonight. I understand why you can't come to our anniversary party, when your mother is sick it okay darling we can always celebrate another time. Please kiss her for me, night bae
