The cold water drips down her sensitive body making her shiver. She tries to focus on some good things she and Sanele did together and how much she loves him. She doesn't really think about the day she met Sanele that much, it was today she finds herself thinking about that day they magically met at the event.

Memories

Mbali fake laughs at the lame joke his father's friend's son made, then turns as she mentally rolls her eyes at the situation.

Mbali: Why am I here again? Oh right I'm a rich kid and rich kids are supposed to be with rich kids how exciting yay to rich folks! Mxm

Sanele: You don't like being rich?

Mbali hears a man's voice before she can see the source of it.

She turns to find a very handsome looking piece of' 'I wanna gulp you down right now' man. He's in a black suit with no tie, white shirt with two buttons undone. Those hazel brown eyes with those slightly black but a hint of purple lips and that body bulging through that suit- one word DAMN!

Mbali: I like being rich, I just hate the typical social way to behave being rich.

Still keeping her eyes on the door just hoping that time flys so she can fly out of here!

Sanele: Well, I think that it's all up to you to decide who you wanna be.

Mbali just looks at the man who decided to strike a conversation with her for no reason. She eyes him from head to toe, in a not so subtle way.

Mbali: You- why are you standing here?

Sanele: Well I just thought that you might need some company since you were out here talking all alone, which is weird.

Mbali: A normal person would have introduced themselves first, you know?

Sanele: I'm not normal I guess.

Mbali: Right.

Silence fills the room as both stand next to each other facing the door. Sanele with his hands in his pockets.

Mbali in her red body hugging dress , which is a little open at the back revealing her back and with her straightened hair topping it off with her nude stilettos.

Sanele: Wanna get out of here?

Mbali snaps her head to look at him in awe.

Mbali: What?

Sanele: Do you want to leave with me?

Mbali: I don't know you.

She says looking back at the door while sipping on a glass of wine .

Sanele: I don't know you either but I'm taking the risk.

Mbali: I don't just disappear from my parent's events with a total stranger.

Sanele: I'm Sanele Nkosi, I'm 29 years old and I'm a Crucible, which happens to be the most...

Mbali: Dangerous Mafia in the African continent. Huh, don't you think you should have done that a little earlier?

Sanele looks at her and smirks, amused.

Sanele: Well seems like someone knows a lot about bad boys. You didn't ask.

Mbali: Seems like it, so how do I know that you really are a Crucible? I mean you could be just claiming?

Sanele: Well if you go with me, I'll show you.

Mbali: Like I said I don't go with strangers anywhere.

Sanele: I just told you who I am.

Mbali keeps quiet for some time and speaks.

Mbali: Where we going?

Sanele smirks and takes her hand in his and they exit through the same door they've been staring at. FINALLY!!

Mbali: OMG this is amazing!

Sanele: I know right.

Mbali: I have to get the recipe of this!

Sanele: Sure. ( laughing at how cute she looks when she eats and talks at the same time )

Mbali: So the Crucible brothers huh?

Sanele and Mbali were sitting at some Italian fast food shop and they sitting at the outside benches, it's like the township vibe but with Italian food.

Sanele: Well, it started with my granpa who saw an opportunity to start a business but that business ended up being unsuccessful, so a traditional healer approached him and told him the only way his business can take off and be successful is if he becomes a hardcore gangster.

Sigh..

Sanele: He did all that at first, it wasn't easy but he kept on going till he was successful and the most feared man but then he got enemies from along the way, he had to protect himself and his family so he got strengthened by the healer, which made him invincible to most of his enemies until he died.

Sigh..

Sanele: Well my father continued the family business and before he died he passed it to me but then me and my brothers were always inseparable so we took it together since I needed them as mush as they needed me. We named ourselves The Crucible Brothers since now it was being handled by three people and we've hid our true identity from the world but we are known in the black market only.

All this while Mbali has been looking at him with a stoic emotion.

Mbali: Okay! Do you usually trust people with this information or is it just me?

Sanele: I feel like I should trust you for some reason, come on let's go somewhere.

Mbali: Where?

Sanele: You'll see

Taking her hand in his and they hop on his car and leave.

They arrived at some secluded area, it was at a high building, it was already night so the Jozi lights were on and bright making the city look exquisite.

Sanele notices Mbali shivering from the coldness and takes off his jacket wrapping it around her while she looks at the city but turns to look at him slightly and smiles at him.

Mbali: What about you?

Sanele : What about me?

Mbali: I don't want to be the reason that the most dangerous Mafia leader dies of cold now do I?

Sanele: (laughing) You would've done something that most people failed to do.

After a long silence while they gazed at the city of lights, enjoying the tranquility. Sanele moves closer to Mbali. He slowly grabs her hand, turning her around to face him. Mbali, startled, looks up at him.

Mbali: W-what are you doing?

Sanele: What does it look like I'm doing?

He stares right into her eyes.

Mbali: Like you trying to get close to me.

Sanele: Then that's what I'm doing.

He moves closer to her closing the slightest gap in between them. He slides his hand in her waist and pulls her even closer to him till their noses are brushing against each other. They still looking at each other's eyes.

Sanele: You're beautiful.

Mbali: Why am I not afraid of you?

Sanele: That's because you feel what I feel for you.

Mbali: Can you explain what that is?

Sanele then kisses her, he bites her lower lip demanding her to kiss him back when she doesn't. She kisses him back, feeling the electrifying sparks rush through her body, the kiss is slow and not rushed, it's sweet and makes Mbali want to just curl up in some room and after a while he pulls back and looks at her.

Sanele: Did that answer your question?

Mbali just nods and they kiss again.

Sanele: You're mine from now on.

Sanele immediately fell in love with her.
