A HEART REPLACED
Chapter Sixteen
Mkhuseli is perplexed as to why Nonhlakanipho placed pillows between them, yet she's now breathing heavily on his neck, her legs tangled with his. Her restless movements and constant kicking kept him awake most of the night. Irritated, he removes her legs from his and pushes her back to her side of the bed. Astonishingly, she's even commandeered his pillow! Mkhuseli can't fathom why he's been relegated to the edge of the double bed. He vows never to share a bed with Nonhlakanipho again. In fact, he's eager to leave his parents' house immediately, unable to tolerate another day. With a sore neck and body, Mkhuseli gets up, heads to the shower, and readies himself for departure, donning the same clothes from the previous day.
