I knew you'd say yes;)

Chapter 5

I watched her stare at her phone all googled eyed, it was funny how she tried pulling off a smile here and there. I sneaked up on her snatching her phone out of her hand as I scrolled through the chats on her phone.

" What so you do like him!" I yell as she grabs her phone back

"What makes you think that?" she said turning around.

" your face says it all and that's legit the only guy on your phone. Be careful of pretty boy though, he might leave you broken-hearted."

"Very funny, tell me something I don't know."

I shrug my shoulders pitching her as she furiously tried to catch me, there was a ring on the door, I smacked her with a pillow before rushing down, she dropped the pillow looking towards the individual at outdoor, I quickly rush into her arms showering her with kisses. Literally, the strongest woman I know, she hugged both of us before rushing in …it was our foster mother Mishkah, we quickly served her dinner before asking about her 2-year stay in Greece.

" you girls must know why I'm back?"

"It's most certainly cause you missed us…"

She slapped my shoulder before pitching my cheeks, " that and you girls are getting older it's time for you to settle down, so do you have anyone in mind?"

" Daneen has something to tell you," I say pushing her

She gave me her death stare before watching me rush upstairs, after an epic failed marriage I wanted nothing to do with love, especially if that was exactly what I felt for that stupid tyrant. It felt good having our other half home, now we could trouble her and watch over her just like the old days. a bonus being Daneen won't travel and I won't eat garbage takeaways all the time...

She finally escaped the claws of our foster mothers' question before rushing over to a café nearby, dressed decently…she checked her watch, a few minutes early, she hated it when someone was late. Daneen ordered a glass of water before scrolling through Basaams social media, he walked in looking up towards her as he peaked at her phone, he laughed taking his seat.

" so you do find me attractive?" Bassam says sitting closer

" in your dreams, I was just scrolling through stuff randomly."

" Just messing with you, besides I have like three fake accounts following you."

"Shameless!"

He pulled out a tiny jewellery box out of his pocket falling onto one knee, " I mean why the hell not, why wouldn't you want to marry such a handsome and successful man, who's had you in his heart for as long as he remembers…and I know I certainly have yours…you might have avoided me for years, chased me, beat me up…but we both know that we meant for each other, so why the heck not can't I make you my wife."

"A very vulgar proposal, but I agree…only you can tame Daneen," she says watching him place the ring on her finger as he watched both of his parents emerge out of the crowd, a successful operation …after a day of introduction and agreement they shared the good news through their social media platforms, two friends finding their soulmates the other finding her feet.
