Against All Odds

The Date 😉

I made my way out of Maths class exhausted, I just need a cold bath and three hours of sleep but I can't go home yet, I promised Fatimah and I can't bail out....
I got to my locker and saw her waiting for me already
"R u ready? We are meeting at the coffee shop close to school ", She said,
"Sure, I need coffee so bad ", I replied
"Mr Wilson right? ", she smirked,
"Yeah, that man is a sadist, I don't know if his wife left him or something cus he's just too mean, I won't blame the poor woman if she actually left him ", I said,
Let's go girl, " she said laughing,
We made our way to my car and I drove down to the coffee shop..
Uqbah was already waiting when we got there, I stepped on Fatimah and winked at her
"Ow, what was that for? ", she sneered
"Stop staring girl, "I replied smiling,
"I wasn't staring ", she replied shyly,
I just laughed and went to sit on a table making sure to be within earshot
"Salam alaykum ", Fatimah said to Uqbah trying her best to lower her gaze
"Walaykum Salam ", he replied, what would you like to order? ", he asked her after she sat down
"Uhm, Espresso would be just fine", she said
He ordered an Espresso and a Cafè Latte for himself...
I ordered a double Espresso for myself and brought out my earphones pretending to listen to something on my phone😏
"Ok so what do u want to know about me? ", Uqbah asked ,
"Everything there is to know about you, your likes and dislikes, favorite things to do, why you suddenly want to get married to me? ", Fatimah said,
Uqbah scratched his head nervously and started..
"My name is Uqbah Salim ", he started,
I rolled my eyes and didn't know when I blurted out "of cos stupid we know that", Fatimah and Uqbah turned their heads towards me and I just laughed nervously and ran to the bathroom avoiding Fatimahs' eyes
I didn't hear the remaining conversation cus I didn't come of the bathroom until I was sure they would be through with whatever they were saying..
I finally left the bathroom and saw the both of them sitting awkwardly not saying a word to each other.. I smiled to myself cause Fatimah is a talkative and seeing her so quiet is so strange.. I sneakily took a picture of them and walked up to them...
"So r u guys done? Or your just going to keep sitting like that till God knows when? ", I said
Fatimah rolled her eyes, "Let's go..Salam alaykum ", she said to him
"Walaykum Salam ", he replied and we left...
Fatimah dragged me to the car and yelled "What was that for? ",
"What did I do? ", I said smiling
"I'm so going to pay you back for this", she said and slammed the door
"Ok I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ", I said
"Just drive!", she said
"You still haven't told me what you guys talked about ", I said when we got to her house
She got out of the car and slammed the door
"Ouch! ", I winced and got down too
I ran after her to apologize
"I'm sorry Timah, I didn't mean to do that ", I said hugging her
She sighed and hugged me back "No problem but you're not coming with me next time
Ok", I said
"So what did you guys talk about ", I asked,
"You're too inquisitive ", she replied and dragged me into the house
