Hey guys! I'm back with a loooong ass chapter for the long ass wait, I hope it was worth it 🫣 I definitely lost my momentum with this book for a long while however the ongoing support motivated me come to back, I'm looking forward to reading all of your comments and feedback! Happy reading 💕
"G I'm actually nervous you know" Merkz laughed as he looked at me through the mirror fixing his T-shirt
We were currently in his room whilst he finished up on getting ready to go out for dinner; just him, Vanessa, myself and Hayden. Coincidentally him and Hayden had ended up booking the same restaurant so we decided in the end to go for the same time but sit at separate tables.
"Aww Merkz" I cooed as I gave him a reassuring shoulder rub "You'll be fine, me and Slaughter will be cheering you on from our table"
"But Sydney I don't even know what to say" He continued to fuss "Like do I just go straight in and ask the question or what?"
"I mean however you feel comfortable" I shrugged "'Find the right moment maybe tell her how you feel about her then ask, it'll all flow naturally trust me"
He nodded before reaching to his bedside table and putting his watch on "I owe you big time you know" He looked at me in the mirror again with a sincere look on his face
"Merkz I told you already it's noth-"
"Nah big man ting, you've been proper supportive" He cut me off turning around to face me "You're fully gang now" he reached out and spudded me before pulling me into a extremely tight friendly hug
"Alright Merkz!" I laughed as I struggled in his muscular arms as he squeezed the living daylights out of me "You can let me go now"
He let out a dramatic breath before pulling away from our embrace and placing his hands on my shoulders with a proud smile, as If I was his child starting their first day at school "You know what, I'm actually a g" He shook his head "Imagine if I never set you and Slaughter up? Imagine Sydney"
"Wait what?" I laughed "Set us up? How did you set us up Merkz?"
"Well realistically If I didn't have my party, bring you lot to the section and take Vansssa from you; none of this would've happened" He dropped his hands from my shoulders before shrugging nonchalantly
"The same party I didn't wanna go to in the first place" I shook my head reminiscing on how Vanessa had to blackmail me to even go "I'd say it was more fate than your doing but okay Merkz"
"Are you mad? Man's actually Cupid out 'ere, don't disrespect my ting" He kissed his teeth "I saw the opportunity and shot my arrow, now look at you...whipped"
"Even if you didn't bring us to the section I reckon fate would've bought me and Hayden together" I smirked "I meannn have you seen me?" I playfully posed "How could he resist all this?"
"You ain't even that nice" Merkz laughed "Look how small you are and how big your head is" He looked me up and down "It's giving dwarfis-"
We both paused with wide eyes as we looked at each other before we busted out laughing
"Fuck sake!" He laughed "I've been hanging around Vanessa too much, got me talking like one gyal"
"It's true you know, you've been getting real sassy lately"
"Oi mind how you're talking to me little one" He gave me a warning look "Before I get Slaughter to bad you up"
"What you can't fight your own battles nah?" I challenged him
"Look at you" he laughed "You're over here talking like him and you wanna have chat for me?"
"Move man" I laughed as I gave my self a once over in his mirror "How do I look?"
