That was never It!!

chapter 10

"Dude, she wasn't even crying. Why did u make me drive all the way here this late?" Jem felt like crushing Haytham.

"First of all she is your daughter you should be the one taking care of her. And I uhh ..."

"Lemmi guess. You love me so much and just wanted me to be near you." Jem said as he loosened his tie and went to sit on a chair. Haytham immediately pulled the chair and Jem fell on his butt.

"Mate, not cool." He said , his Britain accent suddenly back.

"That's what you get for trying me." Haytham said with a smirk. Jem simply stood up and looked at his friend. He was slightly taller than him.

"Wanna tell me what's wrong?" He asked him.

"Kinda felt lonely after Hanan fell  asleep." Haytham said with the smirk still lingering on his face.

"Let's go out. Have some bro time." Jem said and Haytham laughed a fake laugh.

"Dude the word 'bro time' is not  supposed to exist in your vocabulary."

"Why not." Jem asked with a frown.

"You got married. That's why." He said.

Jem  picked his phone and texted someone. Haytham looked at him a little confused.

"Who did you text?"

"This hot stripper called Ginger. I want her to lap dance for me." Jem said and threw his phone on  the couch.

"Very funny." Haytham said sarcastically.

"I just called Hanif to hang with us. Since I can't go out to have some bro time, why not have it here."

"Okay. Cool." Haytham said.

"Wait, who is Hanif and what makes you think he can be awake now?" He asked.

"Lemmi go check on Hanan." He said and left him confused.

"Okay don't tell me. I will call Ariana, I   mean Amal and tell her you spent the night with this Ginger lady."

"Hey mate, you know she is so over possessive so don't do that." He stopped at the stairs and said in a serious tone.

"The right word is ' jealous ' it's kinda cute how she gets crazy over small things."

Jem opened his mouth to say something when someone knocked at the door. Haytham went to get it. He was curious to know who was taking his place as Jem's best buddy.

"Asaalam Alykum." The guy said with a goofy  grin on his face.

"Waalaykum salaaaam." Haytham said the words so slowly in an annoying manner.

"Can I come in?" Hanif asked still smiling.

"Yea sure." Haytham moved out of his way. "Yow, Ginger is here."

Jem cursed under his breath. When did Haytham get so crazy?

"Sup Hanif, glad you came." He said and gave him the bro hug.

"Long time no see, Jamal." Hanif said. He was still feeling awkward because of Haytham's presence. Jamal introduced them. Haytham said hi and walked to the baby's room. For some an know reason to himself he didn't like Hanif.

The guys had fan. They played video games and watched a movie after praying fajr. Haytham decided to go to sleep as Hanif started taking about his new video game and the fact that he was moving to LA.

"And my new PA is a Hijabi. She is so damn pretty." He said to Jamal and Haytham overheard him. "If I play my cards right, I might get married too."

Haytham scoffed.

What is wrong with you? Why are you so rude? He didn't get it.

Marla was sleeping on the sofa bed and Jaffar was on their bed. For the first time since she moved in with him, he asked her to  not sleep on his bed. When she asked why, he said he needed a break from her. Marla didn't love him but she was determined to keep him, at least for as long as he still has money. She was a parasite and was not about to let go of her host yet. She has to drain him first before looking for another one.
