SOMEDAY

Chapter 8

Saed had already spoken his heart to me so maybe I would be a good idea if I say something more about me too. "I actually had two boyfriends back home before I came here of course."

As soon as I said that, Saed started laughing like as if I had cracked a joke or something but stopped when he saw me frowning and said "Liana and boyfriend? How do I not know about that?"

"Because I told only Ria and George."

"Me hurt very hurt." Saed said looking at me with this very cute puppy dog face which I definitely couldn't resist. "So why did you guys breakup then?"

"One told me that he was having some issues and might go into depression which I don't know how it was the reason for a breakup and another broke up with me because I was moving here permanently and we wouldn't work out well because of the time difference and distance between us." I said wincing at the memory.

"Then why haven't you dated anyone here or slightly shown any kind of likeness towardsany of the guys over here? Hasn't it been like seven months you moved here?"

"Because I am not interested? And it has been around nine months not seven." He just shrugged off my answer so I continued "Its not like you guys aren't handsome and all. I am just focused on my studies right now."

"Yeah really? What guys are you talking about because as far as I can remember the only guys you know are George, John, Jame and me. And now Mark too."

"Mark is cute."

"Are you over him?" He asked catching me off-guard.

"Who are you talking about?" I retorted pretending to not know who he was talking about.

"Your ex boyfriend." He asked me skeptically raising an eyebrow at me. How do people even do that? Every time I try doing that, I feel my face scrunching up and according to Victoria, I give a very bitch-y vibe when I do that. "Hmm hmm?" I saw Saed still looking at me. Yeah, he wanted an answer.

"Yes I am over him." I said trying to convince him but I that sounded fake to me too. It has already been around nine months and I have only thought about me once or twice and there is no way I am gonna meet him again so I am over him, I guess. No guesses Liana you are over him. The voices in my head countered one another.

"Do you want me to set you up with somebody? What about Mark?" Thank God he didn't ask me more about my ex but now setting me up? Is he kidding me?

Rolling my eyes, I said "What? I am not interested in Mark that way and I don't even know him."

"Then go talk to him, hang out with him and if you aren't still interested in him, you can just be friends right. But I betcha you will fall for him." The last part was barely audible.

"OK, I will think about that."

"But will have to warn you that Mark-" Saed was again interrupted by my phone beeping.

Ping! Ping!

GG🤗👦: Where are you?

We were just two minutes away from reaching our houses so I didn't reply.

"So you are coming right?" Saed asked me.

"I already told you I am. How fast do you forget things huh?" I said hitting him softly on his head.

"Yeah I might have forgotten. Meet you tonight, An."

"Bye." I shouted over my shoulder.

I saw George pacing back and forth, with very stiff shoulders, around the living room as soon as I opened the door. Something bad is going to happen. George boomed as soon as he saw me "Where the hell were you? Why are you late? Who were you with? Why didn't you reply to my text? Since when do you-" Before he could speak any other word, I cut him off saying "Geez George stop worrying about me. I am not a baby,ok? I was with Saed. He brought me down the long road and I am just five minutes late. So what are you now, my dad?" I said that jokingly but regretted as soon as those words left my mouth.
