get me a boyfriend

He turned around to look at me as though he had heard something that sounded extremely ridiculous. Even I knew it was crazy but I didn't have a choice and I knew that if there was anyone I wanted to pick as a boyfriend knowing he wouldn't have any strings attached, it was definitely this man.

I looked at him giving him the most real fake I could ever come up with. But, what could I do, that was the best I could come up with right now. After looking at him for a few more seconds, he finally looked back at his tablet and said just two words.

"Get out".

I was expecting him to give such a reaction but I was also expecting him to ask for my reason, silly me. I was not going to give up without a fight so I stayed in the car and waited for him to say something else. Just as I was expecting, he looked at me and said

"I won't repeat myself again leave".

But then, I replied and said

"I can't. Look, I don't need you to be my real boyfriend. I just need you to be my boyfriend for one day and that's it you will never have to see my face again".

"What makes you think I'd want to help you"?

"Uhh, I know you are not interested in a real relationship and neither am I. So, why don't you help me, and then I can return the favor? Anything you wish for I will give to you. Just mention it..."

"And what is it that you can give me"?

"That I don't know. You look like you already have everything. But we all have something we are lacking right? Well, you can ask me for something you do not have and you know I can give".

I said, trying to shoot every shot I had left.

"Fine, I will think about it but for now, step out of my car".

My heart was pounding and I didn't know why.

"Is that a yes or a no because I need your answer as soon as possible".

"Leave now"

His voice was so calm even though I was pretty sure he was irritated right now.

I got down from his car and walked into my apartment. The way he responded, I felt he would definitely not get back to me besides, I don't have his number or anything so I was not expecting any response. I went to bed as soon as I got into the house. I didn't even shower nor did I take off my shoes I just got on the bed and slept off.

The next day, I went to my part-time job in a cafe. I was having a very serious migraine but I couldn't stop working since I haven't gotten a good and steady job yet, this is my only paying job so, I didn't have a choice.

While Zara was cleaning the windows of the cafe, she passed out and was rushed to the hospital where she was treated almost immediately. The doctors confirmed that she passed out due to stress and exhaustion and advised that she rests for the rest of the day

I wasn't one to rest all day as I loved using my time to achieve something but since I finally got the opportunity to rest due to stress, I decided to watch Netflix and eat some snacks while at it.

Cassie came over as soon as she heard that I wasn't feeling okay and we stayed together all day. I constantly checked my phone to see if the man whose name I do not know has called yet but nothing. It went on like that for about two weeks I kept waiting for his call but nothing so I gave up completely.

While Zara was waiting for a call, the person who was supposed to call had completely forgotten.

Jameil was looking for something in his study when suddenly, a piece of paper fell. It was a piece of paper that fell in his car the day Zara entered. It didn't contain anything important and even he didn't know why he kept it. He squeezed the paper and tossed it into the bin. He took what he needed and walked out.

"So, anything yet"?

I looked at my crazy best friend who wouldn't stop coming to my place of work ever since I told her about that guy.

"Ahh, I see. By the look on your face, I can already tell that he didn't get back to you".

"I need to get someone else. I was stupid to have thought a snub like that would agree to be my boyfriend simply because he gave me a lift home".

I said while pouring out my frustration on the table surface that I was cleaning.

"Well, I've been thinking..."

I turned to look at her

"If you give any stupid suggestions, I'll kill you".

"Okay okay, just hear me out".

She said while stretching her hand as though she was telling me to calm down.

I said nothing and waited for her to continue talking

"Daniel, why don't you ask Daniel".

"What!!"

I screamed forgetting that I was at work. I immediately turned and bowed apologizing to the few customers that we had left. I went into the storeroom, changed my cloth, and told my boss I was leaving for the day since I was done with my shift.

"Uhh, Zara see you tomorrow".

"Mmmn".

I replied and walked out with my insane friend. I was walking fast while she was chasing after me.

"Come on Zara, just think about it. He has been your friend for so long plus, he knows your mom quite well".

I stopped walking which made her bump into me.

"Are you crazy? That's the major reason why I can never introduce him to my mom. Don't you get it"?

"Ahh... Ahh!! I get it. Of course she would be suspicious ahh, I'm so dumb I totally forgot how quick-witted your mom is. Maybe it's because I haven't seen her in a while".

I rolled my eyes as soon as I heard her switch the conversation. I sighed in frustration and started walking away again.

"Zara, how about we spend some time in your moms' place huh, huh... Come on, I've missed her cooking".

"Shut it and just get me a boyfriend".
