Rave & Roses {A Rema Fanfic}

14 - Zara

The Good Beach,
Lekki, Lagos.

"Seriously Sandra, hold the tripod higher!" I instructed for the fifth time in two minutes. Today was a normal Saturday and I had content to shoot for a bikini brand, at first I was going to go to an hotel but Sandra suggested we went to beach. I agreed to come along if she'd help me but for the last thirty minutes she hasn't been useful.

"Im trying Zara" Sandra pouts slightly, the two piece orange bikini contrasted against her caramal skin making her resemble a model_a beautiful model. Her hair was in its signature knotless braids.

I roll my eyes, "it's not my fault your hands are too short!" what on earth was I thinking by asking her to help me hold tripods that wer clearly bigger than her!

Sandra scoff, "Whatever Zara I'm trying okay?"

I huff in wry, "Just try and keep it steady for two seconds" I tried to pose again. Adjusting the strap of the lemon bikini strands, I should've requested for a medium size not the small size that made my breast looked bigger than it actually was.

Sandra successfully held the tripod steady for one seconds after which she fell on the sand in an ungrateful way.

I burst into laughter. "God Sandy, you couldn't go for two seconds!"

Sandra pouts her lips dusting sands off her body, "can't you see the size of the tripods? I bet you can't even hold it steady!"

"Whatever girl" I break down my equipments and we carried them back to the hut we managed to secure when we arrived at the sunny beach. Sandra huffed on the chair gulping water from a bottle, one look at her and you'd think she's been doing heavy work! "Youre just too lazy."

Sandra rolls her eyes, she slaps the bottle water down and wiped her mouth, "I agree! Anyway what do you think of the boys?"

I frown, "what boys?" Around us were people minding their business in their various huts. Music boomed from overhead speakers added with the voices the wind carried.

"Oh Zara! I meant the boys as in Michael friends!"

"Oh" I shrug, "I don't think about them."

"Why not? They're nor all bad plus they're all cute! Well not all but Crayon and Rema!"

At the mention of his name, my face automatically broke into a smile, which I quickly masked before Sandra noticed.

"Anyway I think you and Rema would be perfect together!" Sandra concluded her long speech. Sandra had a habit of rambling off any opportunity she got and I've learned to tune out and tune in at important pauses.

I scoff, "Oh yeah?" I grab a sprite can opening it, "You say that why?"

Sandra suddenly beams, "Because I said so! I mean he's cute you're cute, he's single you're single!"

I chuckle, only if she knows I was dating the said Rema. "I don't think it's possible."

Sandra frowns, "Why not?"

I shrug, "I'm not interested plus Michael would have our heads" Michael and I have not really spoken about dating any of his friends but something told me he wouldn't be happy with the idea. "Listen Sandy don't worry your pretty head okay? I'm happy single and I bet Rema also is, also he's not my type"

Sandra mouth hung open, "What?!" She exclaimed successfully attracting attention to us.

I roll my eyes unlocking my phone, "Keep your voice down girl" the last thing I wanted was people staring at us like we were insane.

Sandy mouthed sorry before facing me, "What do you mean he's not your type? I thought he's every girls type?" She questioned confused.

"He's not my type Sandy" I glance at the bathroom door, "I'll be back okay? I wanna use the bathroom, don't create a scene Sandy" I warned before stalking to the bathroom.
