"You've been doing well this whole week. You know",I tell Zaynab who looks up from her laptop and smiles.
"Yeah?".
"You've gone out at least thrice which is an improvement".
"Sooooo that means you're proud?".
"Very".
"Want me to order today?"I ask her.
"No. I already made rice, stew and chicken. I also made fried yam, the way you like it, and fried some spicy stew with dry fish. So whichever one you want"
"Fried yam please".
"Yeah? Okay",she stands up and puts her laptop on the desktop.
"Wait"I hold her hand and oullher into my lap.
"Yeah?"she smiles.
"Nothing, I just missed you",I whisper.
"Ah I see",she chuckles then she stanfd up on the bed and lays down while pulling me onto her.
"Show me how much you love me",she whispers.
"Easiest task I've had to do".
She giggles and covers her mouth.
"You're s-"
My phone starts ringing cutting her off. I roll off of her and pick it up.
Me: Malik? Wassup?
M: the last has agreed to take the case. What's your next move? Should I give her your address?
Me: yeah do that. Is she charging before that or after?
M: she says she likes to meet with the clients and understand their cases from their explnantion first before going through with the payments
Me: yeah? Well then okay. When is she available?
M: that's what I wanted to tell you. She's heavy with work for a while so she wants to meet y'all today if possible?
Me: today? Around what time?
M: in an hour or so. She says 6 but she can make it before that
Me: its 5 now, so I guess. Yeah give her the address. Thanks
