Lovable Zainab

chapter 14

Chapter 14.

Zainab's POV.

I never knew FaceTime could be such a fun way to chat. I always avoided it not wanting to talk to  people who I mostly try hard to ignore physically.

I was chatting with Yusuf I gotta to say he is quite charming. I've just noticed that his eyes are well spaced, and dreamy and he also has a pointed nose, a diamond shaped face. So handsome!

"I promise when we get married you will have enough of this face but for now just try to concentrate on what I'm saying." Yusuf said bringing me out of my trance, I had been shamelessly gawking at him. This was one of the time I thank God for making me dark, Because Even if I blush it won't be visible.

I hid my face in my pillow feeling so embarrassed.

"Aww Don't be shy, you couldn't help it if I'm blessed with good looks."

"You are not even that handsome." I retort with the little dignity I could muster.

"But you were staring?" He teased

"Stop it." I pout. He won't let it go.

"You are so cute. Look I just screenshot you. I'm making your pouty face my phone wallpaper."

"Don't please I'll be ugly in it." I pleaded

"No I think you are cute and I love it." He said stubbornly. "You remind me of a baby Chihuahua."  I gasped

"You just insulted me." I told

"No Chihuahua's are cute it's a compliment."

"You are comparing me to a dog." I stated

"You've got it all wrong dear I'm comparing you to a cute dog."

"It's the same thing."

"Okay fine I'm sorry I'm bad at giving compliments." He apologized and sighed.

"I noticed." I said

"What about this, my friend has a white cat with blue eyes and it's so cute like you."

I gave out a hearty laugh.

"Just stop trying to compliment me. You suck at it." I advised

"Okay." He shrugged.

"What's the color of your hair?" He asked smiling teasingly at me. I know it sounds weird but I don't know the color of my own hair.

"I don't know maybe black or brown. I don't know!" I almost yelled.

"Calm down woman." He chuckled at my confusion

"Fatima told you right? That girl finds joy in humiliating me." I huffed

"Don't you look at the mirror?"

"Not really, look I'm a little color blinded. Fatima thinks it just my stupidity but truth is I can't distinguish some colors. It's one of my slight defects. That's why I can't tell my own hair color."

"You have a black hair."

"How would you know? Fati told you that too?"

"No, I observed. Ahmad and your other two brothers has black hair so I just assume." He told me.

"Hmm." I didn't know what else to say, I still was wrecking my brain for what to say when I heard a loud farting sound.

"Did you just mess!"

"What?" He asked innocently.

"Sorry I forgot you are not from here. I meant did you fart?"

"You mean did I just get raid of intestinal gas? Well Yes I did."
