BK 2 chapter 6

I and Abdulrahman sat on the couch with my baby separating us. We were supposed to be watching the film but here I was staring at Abdulrahman. He was an epitome of beauty; my eyes trailed from his lashes to his cheekbone, to lips. His chest was showing under his white shirt. I didn't know when he used his flicked me on my head. I was thinking of saying yes to him but I was nervous.

Maybe he would reconsider and reject me.

Whatever, I'm telling him today, I thought.

"Quit staring, you can take a picture," he said smugly. I cleared my throat," who said I was staring " I said nonchalantly. Abdullahi turned to me and to Abdulrahman.

"Dada momma, why is Dada not living with us?" I and Abdulrahman glanced at each other before focusing our gaze on him.

"What am I going to do with you boy?, you always have a question to ask" I pinched his cheek to divert him from the subject.

"But momma, you have not answered. ." I shooed him.
