Double Life

Chapter Twenty-Two

•Kareem•

I got in the limo to see Zi looking at me "what you looking at?" I smirk cause I knew she wanted to know where we were going "where you taking me?" she raised an eyebrow, I chuckle "its a surprise... now sit back, relax and have some wine" I hand her a glass that had Merlot red wine.

She relaxed and took a sip of her wine looking out the limo window. It was a full moon tonight which looked pretty amazing.

The car came to halt and the door was opened "we are here" I announce and get out of the car, checking if everything was as I expected it to be and helped Zi out of the car. Her eyes grew wide "is that all for me?" she asked looking at the candlelit table with candles around it to add more light "yes it is" I take her hand in mine and walk up to the table.

"Here you go my lady" I pulled out her chair and let her take a seat, as soon as she was settled I sat down across from her "Kareem this is so beautiful..." she smiled looking at everything "thank you" she continued "for what?" I asked confused "for everything you've done for me" I intertwine our hands "if it means it'll make you happy I'll keep on doing it for you" I say honestly looking her in the eyes.

We talked as we drank some wine, I raise my hand for the waiter I had hired "yes sir" "you can bring the food now" he nodded and walked away. A few minutes later he brought the food "will that be all?" he asked, I look at Zi "I'm good" "that will be all. Thanks" and he walks away.

Before the waiter brought the dessert I asked Zi to dance with me, Little Things by One Direction started to play and I started to sing for her something nobody knows I can do.

"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind, it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on
your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me...

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your
eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs,
the dimples in your back at the bottom of your
spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice
on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh,
you still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me
I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love
you
And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but I
want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

I've just let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you
Oh it's you
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things"
