It Comes With A Twist

Chapter 9

I sighed throwing on a tee after I'd freshened up. I checked my emails as Aadam had texted me to inform that he'd sent a review on how the meeting had went without me.

The rest of the day had been spent trying out random outfits, walking in and out of stores, and mainly catching up with the guys. It wasn't as exhausting as I'd thought it'd be thankfully.

After almost half an hour of going through the review and noting down important details that had been discussed I decided to check up on everyone at home as I'd barely seen any of them today.

"Come in." My mom answered on the third knock.

I twisted the handle and stepped in.
Mom and Habiba were both seated on the sofa both reaching to clean up the tears on their puffy faces as I walked in.

Oh.

"Uhm..I'll just.." I motioned back to the door.

"No it's okay...Habiba and I were just sorting out her jewellry sets.." Mom guestured towards the several pieces of jewellry sets in different boxes beside them.

Habiba sighed. "Yep, still can't decide on which...know what, I'll just pick the pearl piece for tomorrow..I actually liked them better in the first place." She began packing up the boxes.

"Okay. I have to make a call with them Goerge Okoro, I need to inform him of the change of plans."

"What change of plans?"

"We're having the photoshoot by one, that'll be more convienient for everyone." Habiba said picking up the boxes.

"Ok....uhm, ok mom, goodnight." I moved forward and kissed her cheek.

"Yeh sleep tight." She said after Habiba gave her a peck too and a tight long hug, I gave her hand a little squeeze before helping Habiba with the jewellry boxes as we both made our way out.

"Soo..." I started when we were now a few turns away from Maama's room.

"Soo..." Habiba prodded looking at me with a knowing smile a little mockingly as if she was already aware of where I wanted to go with this already.

I giggled just pulling her to me in a side embrace as I kissed the side of her head.
Here she was all grown and ready to start a whole new phase in life.

"I'm so happy for you."

"Ehmm.." She gave a small smug smile in that 'as you should be' kinda manner.
I rolled my eyes at her little attitude as we both giggled.

"Like really though, I'm reeally happy for you." I said making sure she felt how much I really meant it this time, as we both halted on our walking for a while.

"I know.."She hugged me back. "I'm so happy too." She squeaked.

"Yh yh, I mean you guys been together for two years now, it was time the dude made it official or I was starting to think he tryna play with you or something." I chuckled as she rolled her eyes
"I'm happy for you guys though, see Sharif being all grins and smiles at the mall today and cracking it up so much." I mentioned and I didn't miss the blush on Habiba's face, and seeing her this happy made me smile too.

I'm glad she finally found the right guy, her breakup with her ex had taken impact on her a bit before she met Sharif, finding out the guy had been cheating with non other than her fake ass friend.
And initially I'd been afraid Sharif could do something to hurt her or sum.
It had been weird when they'd both started dating as we were all cousins. Not exactly cousins, step cousins, but still cousins.
I'm just glad the whole thing worked out as the dude had always been like a brother to me.
