"I dare you,"
He said to me with determination in his eyes.
"I dare you to accept my proposal. If you do then I will make you the happiest women on earth."
"What happens if I don't?" I challenged him.
Who does he think he is just popping back into...

CHAPTER FIVE: Happy

[2 Months Ago]
"What's wrong with you bro?" Isa snapped through the phone. What is wrong with me? Why can't I go home? What's stopping me from going to her? I knew at first I had to figure things out, be the person she deserves. But now that I've done that I don't know why I can't just go home.
Would she even forgive me for being gone so long? "I don't know..." I muttered more to myself than him. "Why aren't you picking up her calls? You know I can't always be there to fix things up for the both of you, right? My coach is even getting mad at me for making this phone call during practice. Just hurry up and come back home because you know she can't wait forever."
He was right, she can't wait forever. I'd be lucky even if she talked to me when I go back let alone marry me.
I watched as Zamzam laid her head against a pillow and closed her eyes tightly. I stroked her head with my fingers gently so she wouldn't wake up. When we got to my house she was so tired that after she removed her makeup and changed her clothes she fell right to sleep.
"Thank you Allah." I whispered gratefully.

Suddenly I felt someone pushing me side to side gently, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Zamzam. She was holding a plate of pancakes and a cup of juice then put it on the night stand. "Good morning sleepy head!" She said in a sing song voice as she opened the curtains. I could get used to waking up to her face everyday.
"Morning, beautiful." I replied as I got up and kissed her forehead. "I'll come back in a second." I quickly walked over to the rest room and brushed my teeth. When I came back in I noticed her laying on the bed using her phone not even noticing that I came back inside the room. I quickly snatched her phone from her hand which caused her to glare at me. "Give it back Mathews!" She demanded.
