Lovable Zainab

Chapter 40

Yusuf's POV

Women can be annoying! Why does it take them hours to dress up? Wearing a blouse and a skirt or trousers shouldn't be that hard and time consuming.

I waited patiently for Zainab to come out of her room for twenty minutes and I haven't seen her.

My friends which consists of Teejay, Ifeanyi, and Ifeanyi's girlfriend Erica and maybe some few people that I have forgotten.

I have a small circle of friends in Nigeria because I was abroad for a long time. These people I mentioned are the ones who kept in touch I'll say they are my real gees.

Why is she taking so long it's not funny at all.

"Zainab I can't wait forever." I yelled when I couldn't take it anymore.

No answer

"Seriously let's go."

No answer.

I went to her room and knocked at the door. "Zainab what's taking you so long?" I asked from the door

"The door opened to reveal Fatima. "Which Zainab are you talking about?"

"I've been waiting for her"

"She already went out to meet you." She laughed.

I rushed back to the living room and found no sight of Zainab.

"Check outside the gate. I'm sure she's waiting there." Fatima who followed me out said From behind me.

"Your friend is something else."

"Yep that's why we love her."

Outside I saw Zainab sitting with the security guard she was smiling as she watched the older security guard talk about God knows what.

I cleared my throat trying to get their attention and I did. Zainab frowned at me. She's probably angry because I interrupted her little discussion session.

"I've been waiting for you and you are just showing up now when the story is getting interesting. You suck." She sounded really pissed. Her face now gloomy.

I ignored her and greeted the security guards which they responded by praising me and praying for me. When I came back from the states these security guards didn't like me. They probably thought I was some spoilt kid who has adopted the western life but I guess I prove them wrong and made them realize I still remember my home trainings

"Are we going or not?" Zainab asked. She wasn't frowning anymore. she opened her purse and brought out a pair of sunglasses.

I watched her Clean the glass with her red veil and smiled as she slowly made her way towards me. I didn't know why but my heart was beating fast as she came closer. She didn't know her closeness was having an effect on him. It took everything in me not to grab her and hold her in my arms forever. when I felt her put the glasses on for me I held her hand before she withdraw them. The glasses she put on Me prevented me from seeing her eyes clearly.

Zainab looked confused plausibly wondering why I'm still holding on to her hand but then again I also don't know why I feel like I need to hold her arms. The coldness of her arms was enough to cool the fire I am feeling inside. She stirred up some weird amazing feelings in me it's like its phenomenal I'd use the word magical but I don't believe in magic.

"Oga una no go again. Ma open gate." The older security guard asked which made me come back to my senses I released Zainab's hand from my grabs and nodded for him to open the gate.
