That Shy Girl🔱 |Completed✔

Strangers aren't that danger

Our meeting with Leedarh was brief, I wanted leaving so they could discuss but Kabeer pleaded I stay. He told her we were together and she looked at me disgusted, she asked about my father and Kabeer made it clear it was none of her business, I wish I can stand my ground but I'm terrible at expressing myself.

She told him she misses him anyways even tho he already told her he has someone now, she only smiled and walked away of course only after giving me the stink eye. I know I was no match with her, her standards are pretty high, she was escorted by men in suits and I could tell they were her guards.

After seeing that I just want to give up and I know I was close to my breaking point. I'm not the type to breakdown so easily in front of people and so I ran not knowing where I was going, I ran close to a mile before I let it all out, letting the tears I held back all flow, my visions were a bit blur and I don't know where I was going until I bumped to something, at least I thought it was until it spoke, knowing that things don't talk, I looked up and saw a guy, I didn't realise I was starring until he snapped his fingers across my eyes making me find my blinks which I did severally and he chuckled

"My bad! I know I'm in no position to ask you this hence we strangers and all but don't you think it's a bit to late for a girl to be out?" He asked and I didn't reply, because if I tried only sobs would escape my lips

"Ohkay, I totally understand you don't trust me but hey I was only trying to be my neighbour's keeper" he laughed it off and I was just there still crying

"Could you please stop crying? God I hate it when people do, it annoys me" he said and I could tell he was being sincere

"I don't know what to do with my life right now, I mean I know what to do but it's hard" I replied

"You know what Nike said? Just do it!" he said jokingly

"It's not that simple"

"Why?" He asked

"Because...." I paused not sure if I should trust him but I really don't care right now, I want is a listening ear
"Because I'm tired of how all the respect is given to the rich, how the poor is treated less, how people tell me what and how to live my life, how they think it's okay to say mean things to people, how I try to keep everyone happy and I cry behind closed doors, how perfect people think my life is, how they don't see me hurting, how I don't get what I've always wanted" I said ignoring the choke in my neck

"Wow! Seems deep"

"Yes it's hard trying to change all these at once" my last tear drop rolling down my cheek, and it actually felt great finally saying something to someone

"You made it till this day, you are one strong someone" he said with an assuring smile and I simply smiled back

"You have every right to how you want to live your life, don't let silly beings talk you against it. You alone have the privilege to make yourself happy, don't wait on anyone. Don't give two cents about what they think or say, just say fuck it and be happy. Would you do that miss?" He asked and I nodded

"Found her" Khalil yelled

"Alhamdulillah! Oh my God! You got me so scared..." Kabeer said walking towards me, he stopped and started looking between me and the stranger
"And who is it?" Kabeer asked angrily

"Umm..he is..." I was saying

"A nobody" he simply replied

"How did you get here? Have you lost your mind? And why are your eyes puffy? Did he..did he do anything to you?" He asked

"Not at all" I replied

"Well this is awkward, let me hit the road then, see you guys around I guess" he said walking away

"Are you hurt?" Kabeer asked

"No"

"Are you sure?"

"I promise"

"I swear if it was anyone, he/she might lose a tooth and I'd sleep in jail tonight" he said and I laughed

"No one is going to jail"

"But for real tho, are you good?" He said

"Yeah just needed air to clear my head"
-------------------------------------------------------------
We got home and everyone was either busy with the internet, video games or television except me and my beloved, yeah I guess we're beginning to have something in common

"You sure you don't want to talk about it?" He asked for the 75 time and since he kept pushing I might just let him know

"I don't know... I'm just saying, the fact obviously.. Don't you think we're no match?" I asked

"I mean I could be the box and you the matchstick" he replied

"I'm not referring to matches. I mean like look at you awesome and everything and look at me"

"What's wrong with you?" He asked

"Fat and not so perfect, I mean...don't you think you're and Leedarh would perfect each other. You're kind of out of league, sometimes I want to believe being a princess isn't such a bad thing but what would I be in front of the society? Er talaka (Child of the poor), she obviously followed him for his wealth, he'd have gotten someone much more better and prettier" I said, disappointment written all over his face. He stands up and grabbed a bottle of water having it in sips while sitted opposite me but we were kind of close, not just close enough for physical contacts

"If you think you aren't perfect to yourself or them, you are perfect to me. I don't care what they have to say or think but I know I need you and I love you and Allah does. If you doubt my words, I hope my actions match them. You are beautiful whether you believe it or not, everyday I'd remind you" he said calmly, on hearing that I smiled and I know he was the one and I'd never let him go no matter what

"What? Why are you starring at me like that?" He asked

"Just starring at my future, is it a crime?" I asked, well Nigerians gotta be Nigerians

"Well it is a big offense"

"Arrest me and take me to jail"

"Well girl you'd be staying in jail for a very longgg time"

"How long?"

"Forever"

"Where's this jail if I may ask?"

"In my heart" he said with a wink and I looked away, this guy in front of me is a big flirt
