SWEET GESTURE
Samarra slammed the door shut. Zachary’s teasing has already irritated her.
Oh, my goodness! Samarra. What did you do? Why did you let Zachary do whatever he wanted to you? He’ll probably tease you.
Samarra shook her head as if a video clip of what happened outside was playing in her mind. “Stop thinking, Samarra!” she scolded herself.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Samarra concentrated her annoyance on the food Zachary had brought her. Because she is irritated, she will eat the entire serving of fried rice rather than half of it. She felt she had gained weight immediately due to the amount she ate.
As the food was being put away, she heard her cell phone ring. So she quickly looked and answered when she saw Ezekiel calling to her.
“Hel-”
“Samarra, fix yourself. We’re leaving at one hour.” Ezekiel quickly disappeared to the other line. Nor, not at all, said goodbye properly. Tsk, Samarra shook her head as she laid the cell phone on the bed and went to the bathroom; she had just taken a quick bath.
When she got out of the bathroom, she found Zachary lying on their bed. Their eyes met. She did not know how long they had stared at each other when she recovered from the shock.
“What are you doing here?”
When she noticed Zachary’s eyes looking directly into her chest, she immediately thought of tying her bathrobe tightly. She saw him swallow before getting up into bed.
His gaze drools over her body.
“Ara, please stop asking me what I am doing here. Let me remind you. In case you forgot. We married three weeks ago. We’re together on the same roof and same room. So, you will see me everywhere. In the room, bathroom, swimming pool, kitchen and …? Just anywhere.”
She frowned at the length of Zachary’s litany as if she asked a simple question.
Why is it such a big deal? Tsk, he will take care of his life.
She turned her back on him and went to the closet to choose an oversize white t-shirt with a printed animal, a high waist black cycling. She also chose a black bull cap and shades, as she used to leave Australia. She also paired it with white sneakers.
When she chose what to wear, she immediately removed her bathrobe because she was wearing underwear and a bra again.
She heard a sigh, so she turned to Zachary, blushing as he looked at her. Does he have a problem? She glared at him before continuing what she was doing.
“Are you leaving?” Zachary asked as he watched her get dressed.
Although she feels uncomfortable, she continues dressing in front of him. She just nodded and put on the t-shirt.
“Where are you going with that?”
She was stunned when she was about to wear her high waist black cycling up to her thighs. She looked at Zachary.
She did not know whether she would answer the question or not. But because she was kind, the latter prevailed.
“I’m just buying some stuff,” she said as she removed the towel from her hair and hung it on the chair near her.
“At the mall?” he guessed.
“Yes, at the mall,”
“What time are you going home?”
“Evening,” she replied without looking at Zachary.
She was busy bending down as she picked up the blower and sat across the vanity dresser.
Zachary looked at her in the mirror for a long time. She saw him already standing with a smirk while his face was severe.
“Who’s with you?”
She did not know whether she would answer the question or not.
“Is it Kiel?”
She nodded and smiled.
He nodded and handed the atm to her.
“That’s what you used to buy. That pin is our wedding day.” Her forehead frowned at what Zachary had said.
Why does he think she has no money?
“No need. I have my own.” She refused and returned his atm.
“Ara, please. Don’t be stubborn.”
The atm was returned to her, and she heard his sigh. Even though she didn’t want to, she just accepted it so there would be no argument.
“Thank you.”
Zachary just nodded and took the blower in her hand. She looked at him in the mirror in shock. But he just smiled sparingly, and Zachary started combing. And blower her long hair. Her mouth dropped open as she looked in the mirror.
Seriously? Is he going to blow my hair? WTF! Amusement was written all over her face. She couldn’t believe that Zachary had this side. It’s a sweet gesture.
“If you want to buy something, use our atm.”
Samarra didn’t know how long she had looked at Zachary in the mirror. While severe and focused on blowing her hair. She held her breath as her heartbeat suddenly increased.
If I were just ice cream, I would melt how you look at me.”
Embarrassed, she looked down.
“Can you come home early?” said Zachary as he continued brushing and blowing her hair.
“I’m not sure. But I’ll try to get home early.”
Zachary smiled and continued doing so.
“Hmm, do you want to buy something?” she asked while looking in the mirror at Zachary, but he just shook his head.
She was already wearing socks and shoes when he finished blowing her hair. She saw Zachary’s slight frown as his gaze passed over her.
“Why? Is it ugly?” she asked Zachary curiously.
“It suits you.” Zachary grabbed her waist and squeezed.
“You’re beautiful, whatever you dressed.” Samarra swallowed when she felt Zachary’s lips touch her earlobe.
He was about to kiss her lips when they heard the cell phone ring. She quickly turned to her cell phone on the bed. And, look at Zachary. Annoyance and hanging show on his face. She saw that he had wiped his face.
“All right, answer your call; you might leave.”
“He-”
“Go down.”
She frowned when Ezekiel suddenly disappeared on the other line. Even when very bossy. She firmly stuffed the cell phone and atm in her small bag pack.
“Is that Kiel?” She nodded to Zachary in response to his question.
In response to Zachary’s question, she nodded. She was puzzled by Zachary.
He was overly sweet to her.
Could he be planning something terrible? She shook her head to clear her mind of negative thoughts.
She was taken aback when Zachary approached her and placed his arm on her shoulder.
She looked up at him, but it was too late to turn away because their gazes locked. She forced a smile and wrapped her arm around his waist. Zachary, like her, was taken aback by what she had done. As they descended the stairwell, she drew him closer.
In the distance, she saw Ezekiel holding a cell phone while sitting slightly on the hood of his car. She can help but smile when she saw Ezekiel wearing black khaki shorts and a white t-shirt, and he tied his shoulder-length hair. He was also wearing a white sneaker.
Wow! What a coincidence.
She secretly smiled at the thought that Ezekiel and she looked like a couple. hashtag #Couplegoals.
Zachary pressed hard on her shoulder, causing her smile to fade into a grimace. She gave him a wicked look.
“It’s your problem?” she asked, just enough to hear him.
She could see the fury of his jaw clenched.
Tsk, his problem?
Zachary doesn’t say anything and stares ahead. Zachary’s expression gave her a frown.
“Brother,” Zachary greeted Ezekiel with a smile.
She quickly looked up at Zachary.
Wow! Amazing?! Samarra didn’t know how to react to Zachary’s attitude. She thought that Zachary had split personality disorder.
“Zach, how are you?” Ezekiel said.
“I’m good.”
Ezekiel nodded and turned to look at her. “Are you ready, Miel? Maybe you forgot to bring something?”
“Ah, none.”
“Oh, how about you, Zach? We’re leaving. Do you want to buy something?” Ezekiel asked Zachary.
Zachary shook his head and drew Samarra closer to him. Samarra’s objections faded when Zachary claimed her lips.
