Rave & Roses {A Rema Fanfic}

12 - Zara

Lagos, Nigeria
Few days later

11am

I woke up with the worst headache in the history of headaches. Last night Sandra and I went clubbing, we were so wasted after. I push the covers back and rushed to the bathroom, I vomited all the content from last night.

I swear I wasn't clubbing no more, but I couldn't stop as it was part of my job. I shook my head peeling last night outfit off my body. I took my time scrubbing off the smell of smoke, weed and sweat. Convinced I smelled good, I stepped out, brushed my teeth, did my hygiene. I rolled my hair into a messy bun, wore a fashionova lounge set and went into the kitchen.

After I downed two aspirin with monster energy drink, I had little strength to cook a quick breakfast of waffles & egg. I set my food on the counter and grabbed my phone from where I left it last night, the door.

I unlock the device to see plenty notifications from my social media, what got my attention though was the missed facetime from Divine. I was so excited, so I pressed the redail button.

While the phone rang I set it against the can of drink and took a huge bite of waffles. Finally the call connects his caramel mocha sprawled all over my screen.

"Wassgud mama!!" Divine deep voice boomed through.

Remembering I had no makeup, "Shit!" I threw the phone against counter and flew out of my seat. Oh my fucking God! he fucking saw me with no makeup on and I look crazy!? Didnt he know calling a woman in the morning was the recipe for disaster? I felt tears burn my eyes.

"Hello? Zara? You there?" Divine questioned, I saw him peep deeper into the screen.

I roll my eyes, breathe Zara Dont cry.

"Zara?"

I clear my throat, "Yeah, um, I'm here, hey? Um..."

Divine handsome face scrunch into a frown, "I can't hear you ma, come closer lemme see your face"

"No!"

"No?"

I clear my throat again, regaining some lost pride, "I missed your call, how you doing" I changed the subject.

Divine roll his eyes, "I'm good, how..." he pause, "Why can't I see you? I know your stubborn ass isn't as white as the damn ceiling."

Yep! I was gonna cry now! "Divine I'm not wearing any makeup and I look crazy!" I told him point clear.

Divine laughter booms through, "So what? I don't care whatcha look like mama, I wanna see you crazy or not"

I bite my lips feeling insecure, I didn't have any problem with showing my face to the world but not to Divine.

"Zara come on, lemme see ya face, I'll judge if you look crazy or not" he say looking expectantly.

I took a deep breathe, it's outta my hands now, I said a quick prayer to God. I grab my phone showing my face. I roll my eyes, "Go on laugh all you want."

Divine stare at minute he licks his lips taking a screenshot, "Youre very beautiful mama goddamn!"

I look away blushing crazily. "Thank you."

Divine smiles, "I don't why ya worried earlier, you mad pretty makeup or not, plus I've see you without makeup, twice infact" he teased

I scoff, "boy please!" ways for him to ruin the damn mood. He burst into laughter showing off his perfect teeth. Believe me, this man is mad handsome, and I mean very very handsome.
