Mutuals

[40]

I woke up to 10 missed calls, 2 missed FaceTimes and 7 messages all from Harris. I rubbed my eyes and sighed, I had a heavy feeling in my heart and I cringed because I knew that meant I was attached to Harris. Going to sleep on bad terms was not a good idea.

Are you serious - 12.34am
Did you just hang up on me - 12.34am
Don't get why you're so vexed, that should be me - 12.34am
Zara pick up - 12.45am
I thought you wanted to talk? - 12.45am
Fine we'll talk in the morning - 12.51am
Night x - 12.52am

I rub my eyes and get myself out of bed, freshen myself up and sit back down on my bed. I open Harris's chat to type a message but my thumbs do the little I-don't-know-what-to-say dance

You up?
I delete that straight away because that doesn't not sound like me at all, in fact it sounds more like Harris

Hey
Nope too basic

We can talk as long as you're mature about it
I send it before I can overthink it more

"Zara come eat your breakfast, mum said she needs to wash up" Kasiar calls as he walks past my room
I leave my phone on my bed and make my way downstairs
"Ahem" Kaisar clears his throat
"What?" I turn around
"Put a cardigan on, you can't walk around like that white Hamza in the house" he looks at my clothes and I turn around to go back into my room

I grab a cardigan to cover my bare arms and place a hijab loosely on my head. I take a look at my phone to check if I have any messages from Harris but I don't.

Knowing him he's probably asleep

"Oh look who's awake" my dad speaks sarcastically and I run to hug my favourite man in the world
"Sit down and eat" my mum instructs pulling at my cardigan
I chuckle and eat my toast as fast as I can and drink my tea so my mum can wash up

"Are you going to do mine and your mums makeup today?" Auntie Faizah asks and I nod my head
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" I laugh and my dad tuts, "You women and your makeup"

Once I've ate I run up to my room to see if Harris has replied but still no. This dickhead could sleep all day like it's literally half one now.

I take my phone with me downstairs with the plan to watch some episodes of You before I have to get everyone ready. When I walk into the living room, I see Kaisar and Hamza watching some stupid movie again.
"Excuse me I wanna watch the TV" I huff with my hands on my hips
"Watch in the other room" Kaisar grumbles
"There's stuff all over the other room"
"Use your laptop" he argues
I sigh, "don't you have your mehndi to get ready for anyways?"
"That's a half hour job, I don't need to cake my face like you lot" he sasses
"I-" my phone starts buzzing which means Harris is finally awake
"Never mind" I walk out the room again

"Hello?"
"Hey I'm sorry I've been asleep" he apologies
"Yeah I figured" I walk up the stairs back into my room
"Can we FaceTime?" He asks and I reply with a yes

"Hello again" he grins when I can see his face
"Hi" I reply with a tight smile and his fades slightly
"Right, I wanna say sorry about yesterday we shouldn't left it like that" he apologises
"Thanks for the apology but that's what I mean. You're allowed to be pissed at me and have your insecurities, that's called being human. I was just angry because you weren't admitting you felt threatened and explaining yourself" I explain
"But Zara you have to know that I'm not good at that shit I can't explain myself sometimes" he looks pained and I feel for him
My features soften, "I completely understand that, I'm not good at that either but you were making it out like I was in the wrong when you'd basically made this all up in your head"
"I'm sorry" I can tell he doesn't know what to say
"So how you feeling about this whole situation then?" I ask
"I don't know why but I feel like you're gonna come back engaged" he says and I chuckle
"You're so cute" I scrunch my nose, "I promise you I won't"
"You're cute when you do that" he says scrunching his nose, mirroring my facial expression

I blush, "did I make you blush?" He asks making my cheeks turn redder
"Shut up" I say laughing
He laughs in response, "So we're good then yeah?"
I nod biting my lip, "just don't jump to conclusions without asking me first?"
"Okay" he laughs I guess he feels a bit stupid?
"And you all thought girls are the ones who jump to conclusions" I joke
"Piss off" he laughs
"Get your arse up and do something, don't be lazy" I scold and he raises an eyebrow
"What you gonna do about it?" He challenges
"I'll kick your ass when I come back"
"Smack it instead" he replies cheekily and i gasp
"Harris Jung I can't believe you just said that, do you talk to your mother with that filthy mouth?"
He laughs and blows me a kiss, "I'll talk to you later"
"Bye" I laugh, ending the FaceTime

All is good :)
