I slapped cold water on my face and changed into a grey sweater and navy joggers. Not the cutest outfit to go see your fiancé in but right now I couldn't care less. I stepped out into the back garden from the kitchen and took a deep breath in. The night air was sweet and a little sticky due to the continued warm weather. I walked forward anxious to see him and wondered whether he had understood when I saw car lights flash on the other side of the houses. I walked cautiously towards a silver Mercedes G class that I'd not seen before but as I got closer I could see Zack waving from the drivers seat so I got in.
'New wheels?' I laughed as I closed the door behind me.
'You like' he winked and my heart skipped a beat. I caught myself staring at him and cleared my throat turning to face the window I asked
'So where we going'
'I'm hungry' he caught me by surprise and without another word he drove off down the road.
I still had too many thoughts in my head to protest so I sat silently. We mustn't have gone far when he suddenly stopped the car opposite a Fuel station.
'You want to eat at a fuel station?' Confused I looked blankly at him expecting an explanation but instead he leaned forward and ever so gently stroked my cheek before placing a loose strand of hair from my bun behind my ear. Whilst I was still lost in the moment he opened the car door and jogged across the road disappearing into the shop. Dumbfounded I just watched outside the window as people continued with their daily lives. About 10 minutes later he reappeared with a bag of snacks and 2 large ice blast slushie drinks. One by one he pulled out a treat from our childhood
'Remember when we would have these' he looked so excited but I felt a wave of sadness as memories of mum, a happier me and a freer Zack played in my mind.
'Hey this was supposed to cheer you up' he looked at me worried
'What..' I was shocked
'You didn't think I noticed how down you've been lately and all the extra hours you've been putting in at work just to get away from the wedding prep'
'But how did you know...?'
'Maya I know because I care' he opened a pack of gummies and placed it in my lap
'I'm sorry I don't know why I'm like this, you know I'm introverted, it's just a lot'
'Maya stop blaming yourself you haven't done anything I have, I let it go on knowing you didn't want any of it so I spoke to your dad yesterday and we are having our nikkah tomorrow'
