this guy
Zayn
Ehh????! You don't remember me?
Keisha
Okay... Good for you
I enter the store and head for the magazines section.
He extends his hand and nod.
He stays silent for a while.
His face has bandages all over.
Keisha
How...are you feeling?
Zayn
Good. The store manager helped me a lot and the clinic you recommended, didn't' even charge me.
Zayn
I feel better now. Even though I have these on my beautiful face.
I snicker upon hearing that.
Keisha
You value your face that much but get beaten up?
Zayn
I was ambushed, how could I have known? 🤷🏻♂️
Keisha
Hmmm...Must have hurt a alot.
I nod and skim through the magazines.
Zayn
So, have you had dinner yet?
I continue looking through the magazines.
°°°has he been coming here or waiting here?°°°
Zayn
What magazines are you reading?
Keisha
If you're looking for compensation for last time, forget it.
Keisha
I didn't help you because I wanted something in return.
Zayn
Then why did you help me?
°°°I shouldn't tell him that°°°
Keisha
Because you needed it.
Zayn
Then let me treat you.
Keisha
No, 🤚🏻 I'm fine. Just recover fast.
I grab the magazine I want and pay for it at the counter.
Zayn
C'mon, it's the least I can do, you even lent me your umbrella, t-shirt and towel.
Zayn
By the way, you always carry those around?
Keisha
Fine. If you feel indebted, kindly return my stuff, I'll take that as compensation instead.
Zayn
Eh? C'mon, I'm sure there's something more that you want.
But nothing comes to mind.
Keisha
I'll meet you again here tomorrow, same time for my stuff.
I hail for a cab and get in quickly.
We dash through the streets.
