I Fell In Love With A Stranger

4. My Cousin From My Dad's Side?

'why do you dress like a boy?' he said with his eyebrows twitching

'why do you talk like a girl?' I grinned at my great comeback

He nodded his head in disbelief

'why don't we play a game luv' he gestured towards me

'what game?' I said challenging

'Heard you play pool well' he said smirking

'ha-ha are you challenging me' although I've never played it over an year I still do think I've got all the skills I need to win him over with.

'yup' he raised his eyebrows

'but what about we make a deal?' this sounds like a problematic idea but I'm on for it.

'if I win' he exaggerated his voice to the extent that I had the urge to hit him with the cusions that were lying next to me, 'okay okay' he chuckled dodging the cushions.

'so if I win I get what I want' he tossed the cushion with his fingers, I just could visualize me loosing the deal, I know that i'm way better than him but I just tend to think about the future alot more.

'what do you mean by what you want?' I furrowed my eyebrows staring at him, damn his eyes are way lighter than mine. I don't wanna be hypnotized by them for now.

'you know like' he rolled his Eyes. I know exactly where this is going. Not a chance!

'you know what? I'm not playing' I stood up angrily

'fine, at least let me take you to titanic Quarter!' he pleaded

'and if not?' I cocked an eyebrow.  The game was inevitable, even if I terribly loose, titanic quarter couldn't be that bad could it?

'You err' he was thinking deep

'you'll divorce me' I interjected

'huh? No way' he baffled, oh what's the fun then.

'arghh what about you don't annoy me?' I glared at him like a deceased zombie

'sure luv' his face lit up with satisfaction

'kay boo boo' I just wanted to try saying that.

'what?' he asked me with shock written on his face.

'no um nothing' I hesitated.

'boo boooo' he cooed at me, omg did I just throw him another new word to nag me now?

~
'Oh noooo' I yelled when I spot the black ball, why do I always do this stupid mistake.

'yaaaaaaayyy'

'yaaay, yaaaayy'

'yaaaay' he shouted jumping at the couch removing his t-shirt, ahem ahem.

Ew

But those abs though, I've been tryna workout so much to get them, in fact I do have one. It doesn't pop up that much like his ones do. I envy his charms so badly! Ma'shaa'Allah.

As he kept jumping around. I didn't realize I was ogling at him thinking about life, why did Allah want this for me?

I'm not happy

Wait am I?

Whatever I'm feeling right now isn't love or happiness, just because I talk to him doesn't mean i'm potentially developing any feelings. That's totally impossible

I mean is he even happy with me? What if Allah wrote my name beside his, fifty thousand years ago? I know I'm not supposed to be questioning Allah's decision. I trust Him. But I really wanna get out of this mess. I wanna go back to US back to my mom, my home. The warmth of our beds. Why did Khanza tell me not to call mom for a month? I couldn't resist the urge to do that, but I have to.
