Lovable Zainab

Chapter 45

Zainab's POV.

Have you ever been in a situation where you are obliged to make a choice but you are torn about which one to pick? Well I have and it's so difficult.

"Make a choice shawty." Teejay whispered yelled. I'm sure he's getting frustrated.

Since he promised to take me out for ice cream he's being true to his words which is very thoughtful of him. I wonder why Yusuf is so chilled about the fact that I'm hanging out with his best friend alone. Isn't he worried I'll fall for Teejay's charm because as far as I know Teejay is a very charming man.

"Are we going to stand before this counter forever?" Teejay asked snapping me back from my thoughts.

I mumbled a sorry and tried again. Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate which one shall I pick. Gosh this is one of the hardest decision I have to make in my life because I love them all.

"She'll take every flavour of ice cream you have." Teejay ordered for me.

A smile made its way to my lips he is so sweet.

"Let's go to our seat and wait for the waitress to bring our order." He smiled at me leading me a table where we sat opposite each other.

"Thanks for the Ice cream."

"The ice cream hasn't even arrived yet and you are thanking me what I say I want to go use the bathroom and slip away then you have to pay for it if you can't then you have to wash plates." He explained with a smirk.

"You are not going to do that to me I'm your friends fiancee."

"So you agree that you are Yusuf's fiance everything good?" He teased.

"That depends if I'm not his fiance will you go to the bathroom and not come back." I asked weary mindful of the fact that he's capable since I hardly know him but he seems like a good guy.

"No."

"Okay."

"Aww you are so cute." He cooed.

What I'm I an infant? I smile at being called cute. Yusuf also thinks I'm cute. But I don't think he does anymore since he called me a whore. Whores are not usually cute they are mostly described as hot and sexy right?

Our ice cream arrived I pick up the tiny spatula and dug into the retangular shaped plastic bowl filled with ice cream of different flavors.

"I'm not cute I'm mostly surly."

"No you are not. If you were surly I won't be sitting here with you.

"Why?"

"I have a reputable to keep its would scandalous if I'm seen with a surly girl." He joked.

His friend claims to love me but he allowed his friend to take me out and didn't show any sign of jealous. Did he even care.

"Yusuf didn't really care that I'm here with you did he?" I tried to sound nonchalant I hope I didn't sound the way I actually felt, desperate.

"Nah... He didn't care much. Zainab I want to ask you for a favor."

What does he want from me. I'm not doing any favors for this dude because he treat me out for ice cream.

"I know I said you shouldn't forgive Yusuf but I say silly things most times. Please forgive Yusuf. The guy is feeling miserable, guilty I don't think he's conscience is letting him sleep."

"I forgive him Teejay, but I won't go through with the marriage anymore."

"Why?"

"Because he accused me just like that. He believed lies against me he doesn't trust me, he doesn't know me well enough to know I'm not capable of doing such a thing I don't want to end up with someone who won't listen to my own side of the story when there is dispute."
