Playing For Keeps

---Hussain's POV ----

I hate myself! I hate myself! I hate myself!

That's literally what I kept saying to myself. I was so mad at what happen yesterday. Now where I was supposed to take them. Why doesn't he just get a girlfriend and leave me alone? No, not me...us, leave us alone!

I looked up from my laptop to see him sitting down across from me.

"And to what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked sarcastically.

"Oh, I have a function to host and she's going to be busy with me. So she said that she's going to have to cancel on you," he said.

This close to punching him!

"I'll believe when she says it," I said.

"Okay. You'll get to here the same thing twice," he said.

"That's fine with me," I said and left.

I put everything away and went to find her.

Thankfully, I did before he got there.

"Hey," I said.

"Oh hey. I was going to come and talk to you," she said.

"You want to cancel," I said.

"I'm so sorry, but this function came up," she said.

"Why don't we reschedule?" I asked.

"It's going to have to be 3 weeks from now, because his schedule doesn't work with any of us til then," she said.

OH MY GOD! I tried so hard to not let it show how annoyed I was.

"What if we went without him?" I asked.

"I don't know," she said.

I interuppted her before she could continue.

"I understand that you all don't trust me. Hell, with a past like mine, I wouldn't trust me," I said.

"I trust you," she said before I could finish.

I froze hearing that. I've been wanting to hear that forever but i was not expecting to be getting this feeling.

"You trust me?" I asked suprised.

She nodded.

"So your okay with just us two?" I asked and she nodded.

"I wouldn't want to upset your highness," he said.

"He won't be upset. If he does get upset or mad,I'll talk to him," she said.

"Thanks. So when do you have time?" I asked.

"Tomorrow," she said. "I've got exams to study for after."

"Tomorrow it is," I said.

"By the way, Aakash needs a girlfriend or something," I added before leaving.

"Oh sh*t. He's coming, I'm leaving before anything happens," I said and left before she could even say bye.

I laughed at my own actions once I realized what I did.

I found Atif and sat by him.

"You seem happy," he said.

"I got a date. And before you ask, no I didn't do it for money. And I'm laughing because of what just happen," I said and told him about how I basically ran away from her friend.

"I think you two are going to be good together," he said.

"If we last. Remember the dream, I was apologizing for something when I first told you," I said and he nodded.

After a while, my mind went back to the dream but now I really want to avoid that part coming true. I hope it's possible.
