Is it worth the wait?

Chapter 8

------------> Last question, is this marriage a joke to you and why do you keep agreeing to things if you don't even know me?

"Excuse me?" Zaid replies in a harsh tone

"You heard me, now tell me. Answer my question. I don't know who you are and you don't know who i am. Just because you drive a BMW and graduated from UCLA doesn't make you famous. You still a nobody and who the hell is blowing up your phone at midnight? All i know about you is that you a sneaky nobody... so start talking!" I quickly shout out

"I don't want to get married... okay i am still young and i like to stay out late and do stuff. My parents are forcing me to marry a little middle class goody two shoes all because I almost got a non mehram pregnant. Ohhh wait should i even call you middle class? Your family is broke and is depending on my families financial support. You're basically being sold to me... And her name is Rosa, shes the girl I almost got pregnant and shes my girl. This marriage will be an open marriage, we can date and hang out with who ever we want but just cant bring them back to the house and can not stay after 1 am. You will say non of this to your family or my family or else I will make your family pay by making them live on the streets in poverty" Zaid states with no emotion

That was just a lot of unexpected information thrown at me. Instead me being able to catch it, that information punched me right in the stomach. How was i suppose to live like this.. My now "fake" wedding was in just a couple of days. I don't know how or when my family and i got into this mess. Would this "open marriage" be difficult or easy? How do I respond? What should I do? I need to think of a plan to get out of this mess!

"Fine I wont say anything to my parents or your parents, Just take me home i am really tired and i think you should text back that nocturnal girl Rosa." I replied in a low tired voice

My stomach is still getting punched while i walk back to the car in this now sandy Indian dress. I just want to fall and not get up but I have to get home.

Zaid takes his sweet time behind me texting Rosa.

I finally reach the car and wait for Zaid to come open the doors for me but again he is t busy smiling and texting that Rosa... This leaves me wondering is she more beautiful? Is she more interesting? but then i release this guy doesn't even know me that well and i cant compare my self to his almost baby mamma.

The car ride back I am just in my emotions, i don't know whither i should cry, punch a window or just sit there.

We reach home and before I exit the car, Zaid takes a hold of my arm and says "Remember you stay quite"

I just nod and wait till he lets go of my arm, if it wasn't 1:30 am and I wasn't super tired physically and emotionally I would have fought back but there's no need for that now.

I start walking up the stairs of my house and hear someone behind me. I quickly turn around to see a Zaid on his phone again! I then remember that Zaid lives with me and hopefully he doesn't come and bother me because right now i just want to get these heavy clothes off and crawl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep.

"Can you walk faster" i hear Zaid say

I simply move to the left side of the stairs and gesture for him to go ahead of me.

I finally get to the top and unlock the door, the house is dark and quite. How could my family already went to sleep with out me getting home. What if this pervert kid napped me or something... Well it was a long day for everyone so I guess I will forgive them.

Zaid again starts walking up the stairs to his bedroom while on his phone. I hate guys who are consistently on their phone. I stand there praying he trips or falls but does he NO... Instead I trip over my dress like 5 times.

I reach my bedroom and just fall to the floor i start sobbing and sobbing quietly. The tears don't stop pouring out my eyes. I stand up and in front of me I see a reflection on my dresser mirror. My makeup and outfit still look so beautiful but i see the hurt in my eyes the tiredness. The tears make me look so weak. I force my self to stop crying before I enter the bathroom to go change. Again I see a mirror in front of me as i start to undress and take off my long , beautiful and heavy engagement outfit. I am left with black spandex (kinda like shorts) and a tank top with all of my jewelry on. I start to untie my hair and as I let it fall lose I hear the door knob turn.

I had completely forgotten to lock the other door as both Zaid and I share a bathroom. Zaid walks in and stares right at me i could see his eyes wondering all over my body. His eyes evenally end up on my face and he stands there. I was super thankful he had his suit on.

"UHHH Can you please give me a minute as you can tell I am half naked and you should be lowering your gaze. Please leave" I say in a hurried and harsh tone

"Look, We will be living together and we just need to get used to this fact." Zaid states

I turn to go to walk to the door leading to my bedroom when it doesn't open. This happens all the time and i usually go thought the other door. I turn around and see Zaid standing against his door. The door i was going to go through to get out of this bathroom with him.

"Get out of the way!"

"Why? You can continue changing I don't mind"

"Well I mind, so can you please get out of the way and let me go into my room"

"Your opinion doesn't really matter and we have already established that. Why don't you go through your own door?"

"Well my door is stuck, I would if I could open it"

He then opens the door and locks it from the outside and shuts it. Leaving the door locked and both of us stuck in the bathroom.

This made me super mad "Why the hell would you do that, are you stupid?" I shout quietly

"Well we will be in here for quite some time, lets do something to keep us both entertained" He says

"Excuse me?" I say thinking all the worst things

"Lets play 21 questions, there's a towel right there. Why don't you cover up and come sit down on the edge of the bath tube and we play 21 questions"

I speed walked to the towel and thankfully it was long it covered most of me. Did this stupid kid really want to play 21 question in a time like this?

He sits down on the edge of the bath tub and said " Since I answered some of your questions you will be answering some of mines"

I really don't have anytime for his games so i walk towards my door and i keep pulling on it and shaking it to get to open for me. After failing to do so for like minutes i turn back to Zaid and he just smirks.

"I still want to play come be a good girl and sit next to her soon to be husband and play 21 questions"

I walk towards the bath tub and instead of sitting next to him, I sit on the cold hard bathroom floor opposite from him like 3 feet away.

"Lets not play 21 questions can we just have a conversation?" I ask in a low voice

"Sure babe" Zaid says

Ugh gross i am not his babe....
