DESTINED

Chapter 10

It's been a week, Naila and Fatima have a routine going on. The school is aware about Fatima being her guardian. Zac and Fatima have been talking regularly this past week and she even invited him to be her date for the dance tonight.

*Zac's Apartment*

Jake: So what are you wearing to this dance?

Zac: My suit. I don't need a tuxedo.

Jake: True, it's just for a couple of hours anyway.

Zac: Did you pick up my ring?

Jake: Yes but you are still legally married to Karen. I think you should file for divorce and send her the papers through mail.

Zac: I forgot I was married. It's been months. I guess it's time for Zac to come back from the dead.

Jake: It's just weird.

Zac: What's weird?

Jake: The fact that no one looked for you or ask about your whereabouts.

Zac: Fake family and friends. This made me see who my real people are and it's just you, I guess I clearly was alone in this world.

Jake: it's been what, 2-4 months?

Zac: Yes. I'm really happy here, Fatima and Naila have really brought so much light in my life.

Jake: How can you propose to someone you're not in a relationship with?

Zac: Fatima is going to marry me. Watch the space.

Jake: I'm going to pray for you. Let's be real for a moment, did you tell her about your past life?

Zac: Where do I start? I'm going to this dance and I'll see how I tell her. Let me go get flowers for these ladies of mine.

Jake: I think you are being a bit delusional.

Zac: You know what they say on TikTok,
delulu is the solulu.

Jake: You've been on TikTok?

Zac: Naila loves it and she be using TikTok language.

Jake: You are a gone boy. I'm flying back to New York this afternoon, please make sure you handle the Karen situation before you marry Fatima.

Zac: I will.

Fatima and Naila are home from school and are getting ready for tonight's dance. Fatima got her a lovely gown which she loved. Fatima did her hair and put a bit of makeup on her face. Naila was looking like a Barbie doll.

Naila: I love the way I look, thank you Tima.

Fatima: You're welcome.

Naila: Tyra is going to be jealous.

Fatima: Look at me, you are not going there to make Tyra or anyone jealous. I want you to have fun and feel like a princess. If she bothers you, don't entertain her.

Naila: Yes ma'am.

Fatima: Good. Zac will be here soon.

Naila: Is he your boyfriend?

Fatima: No he's not. He's just a friend who likes being around me.

Zac: Is that so? I like being around you?

Fatima: How did you get in?

Zac: I have a key.

Fatima: You were supposed to bring that back after fixing my door.
