All Of Me - (Islamic fiction, Z.M. Sequel)

Chapter 86

  The project we were working on was taking up all my time, and now that the house was empty my mind was clear and the headache I had was a minimum. Aaroosa was out with Kaliq, Waliyha was working on her own project with Bella and Ella was working in that salon like she had been doing for most of her time.

  It had been three hours since I last got out of that chair of mine and my neck muscles had been killing me. Deciding to take a little break, I went downstairs to make myself some tea. Hm, I might get a few biscuits as well. I deserve it.

  Sitting in the living area, I opened the TV for some back-round noise, I hate when there's silence. Dipping my biscuit in my tea, I grabbed my phone and started to scroll my twitter news feed to kill some time. I hadn't checked it for ages.

  There were the usual tweets from Aaroosa talking about god knows what, some of Doniya promoting her new blog which reminds me I need to go follow it on facebook and show support. 

  Apparently Nadia was a internet star after the Milan trip, she posted pictures and videos everyday to update the fans. Oh god, I look horrible in most of those posts. Nadia was such an idiot, I can kill her right now.

  Rolling my eyes, I scroll past those stuff and notice Tasneem posting about her exams, school, a few fangirl tweets and a repost of a picture of me laughing with my dad saying she misses us.

  Aw, I miss her too. Maybe I should talk to her?

  Sending her a dm, I get an immediate, 'Skype now?' 

  Opening my Skype, It rang for a second before I picked up. 

  "Hey!" Tasneem shrieked in a high pitched tone making me smile.

  "Miss you, young miss." I replied my happiness shown allover my face. 

  "You are the one traveling all over the world and leaving your cousin in miserable exams to kill her." She rolled her eyes playfully.

  "It was just a quick week in Milan." I tried to defend but knowing Tasneem she was probably just pulling my leg, she wasn't really mad or anything.

  "I bet you had so much fun. You got to travel with Zayn and all." She winked making me blush even though nothing really happened in that trip.

  "Yeah, it was nice."

  "How was uncle Saeed though? She had some mean looks in all pictures. Fans think he hates Zayn." She chuckled thinking it was ridiculous, little did she know he gave the poor lad a really hard time.

  "He doesn't hate him, he was just being really protective much like Zayn now with his constant calls and texts to check on me." I sighed.

  "Why? Did something happen?" I proceeded to tell my cousin everything about the whole Eric situation with details about the move, Ella's move here, Ryan being in the picture and even Zayn's new obsession with my safety. 

  "I have a million question, first of all isn't it kind of weird how Ella suddenly decided to move back to London and to stay with you after everything you have to go through for her?" Tasneem raised a brow suspiciously. She never really liked Ella to begin with.

  "I mean the timing is a bit off but she wants to be on her own and this whole roommate situation is temporarily till she finds a safe place of her own." I tried to convince Tasneem who didn't seem like she bought it.

  "Hm? Maybe, but my advice don't trust her. She brings nothing but trouble." Something in my heart sunk. Even though I, myself, had a bit of doubt about Ella but I don't believe she would ever hurt me on purpose. She just never really had any luck or support before and that's why she needed me now.
