Don't Forget Me (47)

I didn't know what to type.

Me: It's not me...is it?

There was a large space of time in which he began to type again.

Zaid: Umm no?

God this was so awkward and it hurt like hell.

Me: I'm out of guesses.

Zaid: I'm surprised you actually fell for that. 

Me: Fell for what? 

Zaid: I'm not interested in anyone.

Was he serious? Why did he get me into all this trouble and worrying? I honestly didn't know whether to be relieved or surprised.

Me: Are you serious?

Zaid: Bad joke?

Me: You never joke but when you do...

Zaid: It was interesting to see who you think I liked. Lulu though?

Me: I thought you were fine with her. 

Zaid: Never was. 

Me: What about the rest of the posse?

Zaid: Fucking joke. 

I never heard him swear before.

Me: ?

Zaid: Just a bunch of people who hate each other yet know too much for them to unfriend each other. I'm honestly surprised at a lot of them.

I raised my brow as I texted back. I saw some sunlight creeping through the shutters. I hadn't realized we were talking for this long.

Me: Really? 

Zaid: Lulu and Sarah? Not so innocent. 

Surprise surprise.

Me: Both of them?

Zaid: Bad influence. Lulu's always been a bad seed, but Sarah was easy for them to mold. 

Me: So you're not friends with them now?

Zaid: Not after the damn video, no. 

I bit my lip as I figured out what to type next.

Me: So who are you close to now?

Zaid: No one, really. 

I honestly wasn't surprised. The group probably moved away from him after the video and after his blackmail threats.

Me: Not even Haya? Really, Zaid?;p

Zaid: Nope. I told you Haya is so out of my league, as both a friend and something else. She's just a poor girl with daddy issues looking for attention she never got.  

Did he actually say that?

Me: Excuse me? 

Zaid: Shit I'm so sorry, I didn't realize what I said. 

Me: Don't tell me you've been with me this whole time because you thought I was a poor girl with daddy issues and was easy to play with? 

Zaid: Absolutely not. 

Me: I can't believe you. 

Zaid: Can I call?

Me: It's 5 fucking AM Zaid. 

I didn't care that I swore, I was so pissed at him for thinking that. Did he really think that about me?

Zaid: Niyah I'm sorry, I don't mean what I said about Haya was about you as well.

Me: 

Oh now I know why you befriended me; because not only was I the only person who stuck around to help you, but also because I had "daddy issues" and wasn't as blessed as everyone else, and that combination is a killer for making me stay and therefore being a great distraction to you. 

Makes sense to me.  

My hands were shaking as I typed, I was enraged at him.

Zaid: It might make sense but it's far from the truth. I told you you were a very good friend, and I never meant to use you. I really enjoyed our time together. Please, please believe me. 

Me: You know what? I'm so done. I'm wasting my time on you when I could be talking to someone else. 

Zaid: Like who? Faisal? Or some other controlling asshole?

Shit, he didn't deny that we were together.

Me: So you're saying I should be with you?

Zaid: I never said such thing. 

Me: You implied it. 

Zaid: It's 5 AM, we should get some sleep because we're saying things we don't mean. 

Me: Fine.

Zaid: Anyway, I'm very sorry about what I said earlier. I really didn't mean it. 

Me: It's fine. 

Zaid: Before I go to sleep, could I ask you for a favor?
