IBTEEY'S POV
" So what else do you know about me?" I asked Imran gently taking my noodle soup.
Am sitting on the couch in his apartment, my legs crossed. He just finished telling me the amazing stuffs he knows about me through his 'wikipedia' which is nobody but Nasma. Am gonna give that girl an earful when I get back home. She is really something else. How can she tell him all those stuffs about me? And seriously! Why did he care to know? God!!
"I swear thats all I know!" He confessed
"And why did u even bother to know?" I questioned placing the bowl on the centre table.
He looked at me and shrugged
"I dont know. I just felt I need to!" He stated scratching the back of his neck. Well that means he is not certain of what he is saying. God! What am I gonna do with this guy?
My phone vibrated
Hey! Just checking up on you. What would you like for dinner?
It was Samreen. This means she was home.
"Well Imran I think I need to go! Samreen's home and I wanna help her make dinner. Hey and thanks for the soup....Its Delishus!" I stated picking my handbag from the couch.
"You're welcome. I'll drop you off....that is if you want me to!" he quickly corrected himself. Lol!
"Save your gas. I'll take a Taxi...no biggie!" I assured him with a smile.
"Are you sure you'll be fine?" He questioned
"For heavens sake am not a baby Imran. I'll be fine ofcourse and thank you. Now can you please open the door for me, my shopping bags wont let me!" I stated raising up my filled hands. He smiled and reached for the door. He opened it and then bade me goodbye. I quickly got into a cab and headed home.
By the time I arrived, I can swear I saw Imran's car a few metres away as I was alighting from the car. Was he following me? Gosh! He's weird!
"Am sorry sweedie but I couldnt say no to him!" Nasma stated on the other side.
"Why? Is he some sort of angel or what? I was baffled when he told me he knows I love eating nutella with my fingers. For heavens sake Nasma that is not even a hobby, I did it only twice!" I said fuming
"Thrice!" She corrected
"Well whatever..." I snapped
"Look Ibteey! Imran never talks about a girl. I've never heard him doing so. But when he developed sudden interest towards you, I was filled with excitement and was overjoyed. Finally, he has found someone who is making him go insane. Ibteey, I think Imran really likes you. He never acts the way he is now about a lady. He can never stop telling me stuffs about you. He sent me your pic in the mall, he took you shopping amd what not. Yeah I know all that. Ibteey, the guy is in love with you....."
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt??!
You know I really fear the 'L' word and here she is, saying it out. Lord! Why is my breathing hitched. What did she just say ? NO WAY!!!! I've never felt anything towards Imran except the lil friendship we shared . He is not even on the list of my Top Five friends. I've known him for only four months now. Well...he is kinda nice and funny.
I searched everywhere in my teeny tiny heart but he is nowhere near the special place.
"Ibteey? You there?" Nasma interrupted my thoughts.
"Er....yeah! I gotta go. Samreen's calling. I'll talk to you later!" I hung up before she even replied and shut my eyes.
This is a joke!.
Oh God! Please dont let this happen. Please let him hate me. Gosh! If this guy is in love with me then...?? Oh no! I need to get away from him. I need to terminate our relationship. It shouldnt get any further now. Am not ready to take anyone into my life at this moment.
My phone suddenly vibrated.
Hey! Hope you're home safe. Just wondering if you'll be free tommorow night. Wanna have some dinner?
Oh Lord! I turned off my phone and tossed it on the bed. I was biting my fingers. I am in a hot soup. Why is he inviting me to dinner??? Ugh!
I woke the following morning with cramps. God! Why cant mother nature just text me and say hey, you're not pregnant. Have a nice day, instead of all this pain. I grab my pills and headed to the kitchen. I made some caffe latte and gulped down the pills with it then I placed some hot water bag on that spot. I hate periods.
I was indoors all day. Its Sunday. Samreen is at a friend's house. Am home alone. I sit all day on the couch, watching Downtown Abbey. I got tired and my eyes start to close. I crawl back to my room and buried myself under the covers. It feels like some tiny reptiles are wickedly biting the skin under my stomach and it brings so much pain. I shut my eyes and bite my lip. Gosh!!!. Tears are running down my cheeks. Am crying so hard.
"Ibteeey!" someone whispers into my ears softly. I tried hard to open my eyes but I couldnt. I felt some soft hands stroking my hands. I opened my eyes gently and looked around. I was lying in my room ofcourse, but there was someone beside me. I turned and looked at the person.
What the hell???? How the hell did he get in here?
I abruptly sat up in bed ignoring the pain in my stomach. I gave him the how-the-hell-did-you-get-in-here look. He looked really embarassed. Suddenly Samreen walked in with a large mug of hot cocoa.
"Thank God! Ibteeey you're awake. I was thinking of calling an ambulance. Are you okay? What's wrong with you?" She questioned tenderly touching my face. She reminds me of Mamie.
"Just cramps!" I stated
And then it dawned on me. Imran was sitting right there. I looked at him and saw him looking at the other direction. I knew he definately heard me.
Darn it!
I shouldnt be talking about girl stuffs in his presence.
"Aww am so sorry sweedie! Do you always have your periods this way?"
Ohmigosh Samreen. You are making this worse.
"Excuse me please!" Imran said and left the room...probably embarassed.
Ugh!
"How the hell did he get in here???" I asked, alomost shouting
" Well I came home and found you passed out on your bed. I tried to revive you but all in vain. I was so scared. Your phone was ringing,it was Imran. I told him about your condition......"
"And he came over!" I interrupted
"Yeahh!" she nodded
" God!!" I buried my face in my hands. I'm trying to runaway from this guy but he ended up beign here. Lord!
