Chapter 18 Humiliation
Amrah
Zayd glanced at her lazily, his stoic expression slowly crept back on his face.
“Oh my goodness, Zayd, I have been looking for you. My brother told me what happened, thank god you are fine now. I am so sorry. Please allow me to apologize properly, will you come with me?” she rambled.
“It's fine. Where to?” Zayd slipped his hands into his pockets, his stance was as confident as usual.
“Uhm… I prepared something to show my sincere apology…”
“No need. I have to rest” he didn't wait for her reply before he turned around and walked off.
I didn't know why I felt a bit elated that he didn't go with her. She stood there looking a bit embarrassed.
“Oh… I guess he is angry that my stupid brother had put his life at risk” I heard her say I was left with Chris.
“So a date huh?” Chris sneered as soon as we walked to my apartment.
“What?” I frowned in confusion.
“Zayd fucking asked you out on a date and you said you would think about it, right in front of me!” he stepped closer, and I took a few steps back unconsciously.
“What are you talking about? He only wants to buy me lunch to thank me”
“And you said you will think about it. Meaning you want to go with him, right?”
“I… Chris can you not do this right now, please” I had nothing to say.
I was guilty of wanting to agree to go out with Zayd and I felt so guilty. It was unfair to Chris.
“He just wants to appreciate my kindness. Don't think too much of it please” even I didn’t believe my explanation because I’ve been looking forward to being alone with Zayd again ever since the last time at the hospital.
“I see, just know that you are mine, mine alone” I nodded and pulled Chris into a hug. I hid my guilty face in his chest, inhaling his scent.
It is not the soothing sandalwood..,
As much as I was scared of talking about what we had been doing secretly with Zayd, I was also looking forward to talking about it.
I really wanted to know what Zayd felt towards even though he hasn’t been hiding feelings. I know for sure that he was attracted to me as much as I was to him.
But I was also scared that it was just a superficial attraction and not more. I don’t know why I wanted something more.
“So, will you go with him?”
“Well, I am thinking about it”
“Please reject him, don't go with him. If you truly take me as your boyfriend, you would listen to me and not go with him. I'm not okay with my girlfriend and my best friend having lunch together”
“Fine, I won't go with him.” I agreed.
He doesn't have to know if I will go later, right?
My heart pounded at my rebellious thoughts.
CHRIS (surprise!!!)
I wasn't rest assured even after Amrah promised not to go out with Zayd. I knew Zayd well enough to know that he doesn't play by the rules.
Not like I do as well.
The whole thing with Amrah was supposed to be fleeting, just fuck her and be done with it, but somehow I have gotten emotional.
Even though I tried to pretend I didn't have feelings for her now, I knew deep down that I did. My messed-up life was too dark for her.
“Why would you ask my girlfriend out on a date?” I confronted Zayd as soon as he walked in from the balcony.
His torso was wet, and I forcefully tore my gaze away from the droplets of sweat trailing down towards his groin area.
He had obviously just finished an intense workout routine, even though he was told not to strain his arm.
Zayd was fucking hot, the kind of hotness that leaves one curious. I have seen him stark naked a few times and it was always jaw-dropping each time.
“I didn’t ask Amrah on a date,” he replied boredly.
“I only wanted to thank her for being there for me in the hospital,” he added and walked off to his room.
“That’s basically the same thing.” I went after him.
“Oh? Is it? It is not unless you think it is” he pulled down his sweatpants.
Zayd was always shameless, he didn't mind getting naked in front of me.
“I spent days naked on the street, I don't care” he had replied the first time I cautioned him for shamelessly taking off his clothes in front of me.
He had no reason to be ashamed anyway, he was well fit and the appendage between his legs was jaw-dropping.
“It seemed like it to me because she is my girlfriend.” I forcefully looked away from him.
He can't find out I'm attracted to men as well, him to be precise.
“ Is she? Well then, who told me he only wanted to fuck her?” He wrapped a towel around himself and turned to face me fully.
“She is my girlfriend regardless and you’re not allowed to go on a date with her.”
“Amrah is an adult, and I'm sure she can decide to go with me or not.” he stared down at me.
Our height has only a tiny bit of difference but Zayd had a way of making me feel smaller whenever I stood close to him, especially if we were alone.
“Don't fucking test me” I gritted out.
“Or what? You told me you don’t love her and that you only wanted to fuck her. Why should that stop me from making my move?”
I was angry because he was blatantly telling me he had designs for Amrah and there was nothing I could do about it.
“What the fuck are you trying to do?”
“Whatever the fuck you are thinking of course. She is my type, and you know it. I want to have her”
“Zayd…!”
“And next time you want to fuck in the changing room, let me know so I won't barge in and soil my eyes. If I didn't know better, I would think you are fucking Sally to renew the apartment lease” he walked off.
Zayd and his fucking poison tongue!!! He caught me having sex with Sally, fucking asshole!
“I want to kill him!!!” I cussed into the phone as soon as Jerry picked the call.
“Young master, calm down please. Second young master reminded me to keep you in check. You are supposed to get closer to him, not act against him” Jerry replied in that stupid mechanical reply as usual.
“Meet me at the hotel in ten minutes” I ordered and disconnected the call.
I needed a relief..
The outside world thought that Zayd was bootlicking me by living with me, they did not know that I was the one bootlicking.
Our friendship was all because I orchestrated it, with my family's influence of course.
Who the fuck is he that I have to keep swallowing this much humiliation!
