Okay so my darling husband who can't tell a pot from a pan decided to cook today in the name of 'Helping me out'. Binging on the old 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' but the noise in the kitchen is louder than that on the T.V.
"Is everything okay over there?" I asked after trying to ignore the sounds "Everything is fine" He yelled back as I shrugged and hoped he knows what he's doing. I heard a sudden scream as I raced to the kitchen to see if everything was fine but I stopped at the door and saw him on the floor, a pan and spilled oil... wait the gas is lit, it must have spilled, I rushed towards him very careful not to step on the oil
"Baby what's wrong?" I asked in a shaky voice "I tried frying the plantain and the oil poured on me" He said in agony as I caught myself screaming "Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raju'un! Let me have a look" I demanded as he rolled over but shockingly had no burn, I looked at him confused "Ohh the oil wasn't hot yet" He said as I smacked him and left, almost tripping over the oil "What should I do?" He asked still laying on the floor "Clean up the mess" I said through gritted teeth and slammed the door
Omar ruined our meal and we ended up eating out. During the meal someone from across us, with a hat and shades on has been watching us. It was time to leave and the person seemed to be following us, I told Omar my observation as he confronted the stranger by holding tight to his shirt and threatened to punch him, his hat went off revealing a curly hair I was once familiar with
"Salim?" I questioned as Omar took Salim's shades off he looked at me with so much guilt "It's been you all along, the text and all? How couldn't I have thought fast?" I asked "What are you talking about?" He asked confused "Don't do that" I said "Do what?" He asked "Acting like you don't know" I replied "Enough talking the police are almost here" Omar declared as the siren of their car could be heard from a distance
"Officer I really don't understand what's going on" Salim explained after I showed the text messages to the policeman "My friend just sign here" The officer urged Salim to sign the papers as he did after taking few deep breaths
"I don't know babe, I feel like I went too far with the restraining order thing" I said adjusting my seatbelt "Trust me, you did the right thing" He said as he headed to the ice cream shop "Ice cream again?" I asked as he chuckled "Me I don't want to get fat o" I pouted "And who says you aren't fat already?" He asked as I gasped "I am so killing you for that statement" I punched him slightly as he left the steering 1wheel and we almost dashed to another lane causing honks from all the vehicles
"Damn ma! Is you trying to get us killed for real?" He asked now focused on the road as I looked through the window completely backing him "You're perfect, stop acting like you don't know" He said as I smiled
"Madam give me the vanilla and chocolate flavour" He placed his order "Would that be all sir?" She asked leaning her exposed chest on the counter.... wait okay, I think she's trying to seduce my man or should I say looks like she's trying to just that she isn't doing it right, I interlocked my hand around his arm with an "Ehem!" as I cleared my throat for the obvious, She looked at me confused and moments like this I wish I could purchase the twinning rings I had seen at the store the other day so I could just show it off instead of explaining to people like these that we were married
She finally got the hint as she rolled her eyeballs which is almost unseen because of the big false lashes but it doesn't prevents me from also rolling mine with a hiss. If she messes up I am going to seek her manager and make sure she loses her job
When she returned the ice cream, I pretended to not see her and laughed loudly at every word Omar said gently patting his shoulder, I looked at her with the side of my eyes and saw that she was pissed
"Here's your order sir" She smiled at Omar "I'd just take it" I said and glared at her as I roughly took it from her hand. I swear I've been having troubles with girls trying to steal Omar, I mean I know he is tall, handsomely built with lot of facial hair with a cleft chin, ohh not forgetting his pointed nose and everything I find very attractive about him that I wouldn't spill with the fright of anyone falling in love with him... I didn't sign up to have to fight every girl every single day but I rather fight for him, he is totally worth it. He also complains about boys checking me out but I have never noticed any, so I guess we're even.... Shrugs
"Let's go see a movie" He said "Mmm" I nodded with a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth, he dragged me as we went to purchase tickets
"You can't go in with that" A staff said and so I had to rush my ice cream. Now we're at the cinema with a cold
"Let's go home" I whispered as I haven't really been following the movie "You'd enjoy this, trust me" He said not taking his eyes off the screen. Looks like I'd be cold for two hours, he wrapped me up in his jacket as I placed my head on his shoulder
"Awwww!" Some girls behind us gushed "Lovely!" One said as I smiled but was too shy to snuggle up next to him again. Somehow I fell asleep and woke up to sight Omar crying, I couldn't contain the laughter erupting as I bursted out laughing "It's not funny" He sniffed wiping his tears off
"Guess I'm not the only softie huh?" I smirked as he rolled his eyes "Let's go" He said dragging me along. We were at the parking lot as Omar said he urgently needs to use the toilet "We're just a drive away from home, you sure you can't hold it in?" I asked as he shook his head in disapproval jumping on one feet and the other as he held his crotch "Okay fine! Make it quick" I rolled my eyes "Thank you" He said and left as I went in search of our car. With every step I take it seemed like someone was taking same step. My heart began to pound hard as I turned around to see someone in hoodie
"Ohh great! Seems like someone never learn their lessons" I said in an akimbo position, I didn't get any response and so I walked away but Salim kept following me
"I swear Salim if you don't stop following me, I'm calling the cops" I said bluntly "Do I look like Salim to you?" He asked, revealing his face as I was faced with Habib
"Habib?" I asked confused "Yes darling" He responded "It's been you?" I was puzzled "How did you get my number?" I asked again "Well let's just say I get whatever I want" He shrugged "Including you" He smiled as I stylishly walked backwards, he moved closer with every step I take, I immediately took to my heels as he ran after me.
I spotted the car and tried opening it but it was locked as he moved closer, a gun was held tightly in his grip.
"Well if I don't have you, no one will" He pulled the trigger as I shut my eyes and screamed
A/N: Okay this took FOREVER😖
