Ranked #3 Ghana
His reaction made me chuckle, his eyes were closed tightly.
He looked like he was trying to restrain himself from doing something, I really enjoyed watching this needy side of Zain
I let my Hand slid down towards th...
I got to Kuffour's house by 8:00PM, I just can't explain how splendid the house was looking. Wow I respect money, I Quickly gave myself a knock "shut up Alex your house is cool too" the gateman led me to the main door and I stood there looking at the door expectantly, the door was opened seconds later by a guard. I greeted the guard with a light smile on my face but my gaze was fixed on the gun he was holding. "Alexandra Napia??" He asked "yes" I nodded "Please follow me" I quietly followed him but kept a very far distance between my body and his gun. He took me to the sitting room then left, I just stood there looking around still trying to figure out how much Mr kuffour spent on this house, it's so magnificent. I heard my name and I turned to see who was calling me, it was Zain. He was walking down the stairs with a glass of wine in his hand, he still looked very handsome on a black trouser and black polo. My gaze fell on his lips they were looking..... Shit Alex what's your business if he has been kissing someone or not. "Hey" I said trying my best not to keep staring at him, he strolled over to where I was and dropped his glass of wine on the table close beside me, this action made his chest to brush lightly against my arm and.... What the hell was that!!! Why did my body react to that little touch? Why am I fidgeting?
"Alexandra thank you for coming" he said giving me his signature cool boy smile, "where is ivy's room?" I asked pretending not to have heard what he said. He stretched out his hand signaling me to hold it "let me take you there" I ignored his outstretched Hand in front of me "no need for that, just tell someone to show me her room" I said avoiding having an eye contact with him. The smile on his face vanished immediately, he looked at me for a while expecting me to change my mind but that's not going to happen. "Stone" he called the man that led me to the parlour when I came, his name really suits him, he hardly even smiles. "Yes boss" stone answered. "Take her to ivy's room" Zain said while walking away obviously angry.
He asked me to follow me upstairs and we stopped at the front of a black bullet proof door, "here ma" he said and left before I could even say thank you. I knocked twice before she spoke "leave me alone I don't want to talk to anybody. Awwn my baby... "ivy it's me Alex" I heard the sound of her footsteps as she ran to open the door, immediately she opened the door she flung her arms around my neck in a fierce hug "it's really you" I nodded pecking her cheek.
We both played together before we finally bathed, I checked the time ivy slept off, it was 11:30pm and I was not feeling sleepy yet. I decided to take a look around the house, I just finished looking at the sitting room downstairs and was about entering the dinning room when I saw Zain seated there. He was doing something with his laptop and he had his headset on. I think he was trying to create a beat or what do disc jockeys call it again. I didn't want to disturb him, I was about going back to the sitting room when he called my name . "Alex" Damn!! How did he even know I was here, I turned around forcing a smile on my face "sorry for disturbing you high Zain I was about leaving now" "Come here" he said calmly tapping the chair close to him.,seems he has forgotten that he was angry at me.
I walked over to where he was sitting and sat on the chair beside him, i wasn't comfortable with the way he was looking at me and I regretted not bringing my robe along with me. The silence was really killing me.... "seems like you are making a beat" I said trying to break the silence. "Yeah am making a beat for 05's new song" 05 is one of the fast rising musicians in Ghana. "I know some of the awards you have won like best DJ of the year 2016, best producer of the year and about six more awards I cant remember." I finished talking and expected him to say something but he was smiling at me. I really wished Zain would always smile like this in public rather than scarring people away from him with his usual don't mess with me face.
I think Zain also noticed my change of mood coz he just stared at me looking very confused. "You once stayed at Cameroon and you had a junior brother? But I thought Rachael is your junior sister" he asked clearly confused.
I stared at him not knowing exactly what to say, a part of me wanted to open up to this guy that I have always dreaded. I decided to just let it out, I told him about my parents and baby brother and how they died in a ghastly car accident. He didn't interrupt me for once, he just held my hand in a comforting way while staring into my eyes.

I finished telling him about my past and was about wiping the tears rolling down my face, when I felt his hand on my cheek. My jaw dropped as I watched Zain wipe the tears away from my face with his palm. "Everything's gonna be ok trust me" he whispered.
It was really weird seeing Zain's soft side, I was used to seeing him looking stern. But now it was like though I was seeing another human being entirely, he looks more handsome when he is being nice.
"Uhmmm my mum is late too" he said tightening his grip on my hand like though seeking for the strength to continue, I squeezed his hand back lightly. He gave me a weak smile before speaking "my mum was the best mum on earth, she's a Canadian and she always got my back. Two years ago I was supposed to receive am award as the best disc jockey of the year, as usual mum said she will be there to watch her little boy take the award" he let out a pained chuckle But on her way there she had a fatal accident and died on the spot." This time he held my hand even tighter "my mum was that person that really understood me, she was my best friend, I feel like am the cause of her death"
I couldn't explain what I felt for Zain that moment, I felt pity and something else I couldn't understand. I wanted to yell at him and tell him it wasn't his fucking fault that his mum died, but I decided to just keep calm and let him pour out his mind. "On the day of her funeral, I felt like a part of me was buried with her, my happy, carefree and nice part was buried with her. I decided that apart from my dad, ivy and my two best friends Jim and vicker, I won't allow myself get too attached to someone in order to avoid another heart break, so that's how I become the stern Zain you all know" he said looking into my eyes . I really felt guilty, all this while I have always judged Zain and seen him as a jerk. Little did I know that he has his own dark past that made him stay away from people, he had isolated himself and deprived himself of happiness because he felt his mother died because of his. And the only thing I could do was judge him, I couldn't hold back the tears welling up in my eyes . I took him unaware and wrapped my arms around him, I expected him to push me away or just walk away but contrary to that he hugged me back pulling me closer then he closed his eyes resting his head on my shoulder. I know what I what I was doing was wrong but we both needed this at the moment. He stood up from his seat pulling me along with him, he snaked his hands around my waist pulling me closer to him. Here comes that rush again, this new feeling I just developed for gain this night. I wasn't scared of him anymore, I felt something else for him, something like.... Ok Alex snap out of it!! He's still the same Arrogant jerk that bullies you. I was about moving out of his embrace but he tighten his grip "easy Alex" he whispered still resting his head on my shoulder.
We stayed in that position for about five minutes before he released me. He took my hand and led me to the sitting room. He nudges me gently towards a big black sofa "go to sleep" he whispered. I sat on the sofa then he sat besides me asking me to lie down and rest my head on his lap. "No" "Come on Alex, I won't do anything I promise" he said giving me his puppy eyes look. He really looked cute while doing that Zain is such a baby. "Fine you win and stop making that face" I said resting my head on his lap. It was then I realized how tired I was, my eyelid were already becoming heavy. I replied him with a nod when I heard him say "Thank for coming Alex" and with that I fell into a deep sleep where I dreamt about Zain giving me a Peck on my forehead.
