HER CRUSH

Chapter25

Abdullah..
I walked into the room, seeing Sufyan finished packing some of his stuff in the suitcase. He is traveling to Lagos to visit his parents.

"Alright, I'll call you," he exclaim , ending the call and looking at me with a with a smile .

You better not get lost in Lagos without me," I joked, walking towards him.

He chuckled and zipped his suitcase. "You think I'm the one who gets lost? You're the one who's always getting turned around in the city."

that's not true. I'm a great navigator."

Really? Then why did you get us lost in Katsina last year?"

I laughed. "That was one time, okay? And it was your fault for not bringing a map.

He shook his head, smiling. "I'm blaming you for that one. So, how's the bride-to-be?"

She's doing great. You know, still trying to figure out how to deal with me."

He chuckled. "Good luck with that. I'm sure she'll figure it out soon enough.

We shared a laugh, and I clapped him on the back. "Take care, cuz. Give my love to mommy ."

He nodded, Will do. And don't forget to take care of yourself. You're getting married soon, you know."

I grinned. "I know, I know. I'll try not to mess it up."

Sufyan smiled and headed out the door. "I'll hold you to that."

****

I headed to Ummi's part of the house, but seeing she has a guest, I returned to my room to find Sufyan has finished packing. "Let's go," I muttered, picking up my car key. "I'll drop you off at the airport."

"Won't you even help me with my things?Sufyan asked.

Do I look like your servant? " I repliedI'll help you with your laptop bag, and you can handle your suitcase."

He remained silent, and I picked up the laptop. We both exited the room, walking towards the parking space. He went to inform my mother that he is leaving. Ummi escorted him outside, and I can see she is telling him something serious. I quickly turned my head away, hoping to avoid her notice, as I didn't want to meet her guests.

As they walked towards the car, they continued talking. She handed him something, which he put into the front pocket of his kaftan. I started the car, reversed out of the parking space, and stopped where Sufyan and Ummi are standing. He opened the car door and slid in. "We need to make a quick stop at his new girlfriend Bilkisu's house,"this guy can be something else, always changing girlfriends after a week!"

After the brief detour, we drove straight to the airport. He picked up his suitcase, "Won't I even get a kiss?"

I  punched him and hugged him at the same time.

Now get off me, before people start calling me gay!"

I laughed  Bro, you've got to go now.

He nodded, you too, bro Don't forget to take care of yourself... and Zarah."

I chuckled. "I'll try my best. Don't worry about me, worry about your own life in Lagos."

He grinned. "My life is always on point. You know that."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sure Bilkisu would agree with that."

She's something else, man. I'll tell you all about it when I get back."

I laughed. "I'm sure you will. Safe travels, bro ."

He laughed and shoved something into my pocket He smiled and shoved something into the pocket of my jeans. "Don't open it until you get home," he exclaim.
