Newfound Destination

~ 39 ~

Khalil: Let's go out today, just me and you, ice-cream and games.

Mus-Mus❤️: Let's cut work short for today and spend the rest of the day together, at my place. We could do whatever you want 😘

Okay, before you start attacking me for saving Mustapha's number as Mus-Mus on my phone, I'll tell you this...I'm kind of in a situation right now and I'd prefer some advice rather than internal curses.

I know I'm not the first person to fall in love with the great Mustapha Sani. If you know what I mean.

Anyway, I'm doomed.

As it is, this is a case involving both Khalil and Mustapha. Who to chose, I didn't know.

Majority would choose Mustapha but come on, let's be considerate of Khalil, he's still my friend and plus, I've been a little aloof from him for a while now.

So I did what I supposed was best...

Me: Sorry, I'm not even at work at the moment. I'm out with some friends.

Mus-Mus❤️: Really? But I can see a Karimah on display here at the canteen.

I gulped as I realized what that meant.

I slyly shoved my phone into the pocket of my apron and looked around.

I spotted Mustapha standing in front of Janet. They were talking and his attention was on for a moment but then he turned to me. Janet followed his gaze amusingly.

Great. Now I felt bad.

He came up to me, "Seriously?"

"Look, I just need to hang out with my friends and I didn't know how to tell you, I'm sorry." I mumbled.

He smiled as he cupped my chin and placed a small peck on my lips.

My eyes grew wide, "You can't do that here. There are people all around this place and you know the majority are workers in this company. There's a policy-"

"Policy for what? The boss can't have anything unprofessional to do with his employee? Well guess what, I'm the biggest boss here so I can get rid of that policy if I want." He boasted pridefully.

"Oya, it's okay. You don't have to rub it in my face that you're the CEO." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh I do, I have to remind you everyday." He smirked.

"Do that and I'll cut off your tongue, no jokes involved." I deadpanned.

"Cool, it's fine. I won't." He surrendered.

"Anyway, I really need to spend some time with my friends."

"It's alright, baby. We can still be together tonight, if you're able, that is..."

"Of course I am." I smiled a little.

That being said, I texted Khalil a yes and asked him to come pick me up. I excitedly waited until he arrived.

Mustapha's POV

My fists clenched at my sides as I saw Karimah hug her 'friend' before he opened the door for her and helped her into the car.

I know it's weird to stare at someone from the window and all but it's become a routine for me. Yes, I mean I always do it.

I watch when she gets to work and when she leaves but don't judge me, if you were in my shoes, you would do no different. Or maybe even more than I'm doing.
