Married to my nemesis-Chapter 66: Ice cream love

Phoebe lay on the bed staring at her phone, she was thinking of contacting Zayn, with her legs dangling out of the bed, she was in thoughts on whether she should contact him first, but she retracted her thoughts, why should she contact him first, he should be the one to contact her first, as a matter of fact, she wasn’t planning on doing anything for the day after what had happened, she laid on the bed resting her back on the bed so she could face the ceiling.

It would be nice if she got to contact him first but then she thought again, wouldn’t it feel like she’s being possessive and obsessed about him?

No, no, right?

Meanwhile, Zayn was at his desk looking through the files and doing statistics on his laptop, he was going to give a presentation to the board of heads the next day but he ended up escaping the office job and that caught him in the act, his mother later discovered her son had not been in the office all those time.

So he had to do the job at home with his tutor who was an elder worker in the office.

He tried his best to decide what was right, he hadn’t had the time to take a call since the time he arrived at the house.

He couldn’t even call anyone at that moment he had to power off his phone so he concentrate on his job.

Zayn heaved a deep breath thinking of when to call Phoebe, couples usually had night chats with one another so he should be calling her by that moment.

If only his mother knew who his girlfriend was.

And yeah, about that girlfriend matter, he had a lot of complaints from his mother asking him why he was keeping the secret about his girlfriend from her.

She couldn’t believe her son had been secretly meeting a woman and she had no clue about it.

She just kept calling him on the phone and complaining about her disappointment about the matter which led to Zayn ending the call saying the network to call her was no longer available.

But then, his mother had the best way of punishing him by bringing him his tutor.

He knew this was his punishment, it wasn’t like he wasn’t going to the office the next day and could be doing the job but his mother had a lot of other plans to punish him.

He was already feeling like dozing to sleep.

Phoebe was already waiting for his call but she was still on the bed having her phone with her and yet she had no call from him.

What was he up to at that moment?

Phoebe suspected he was doing that so she would call him first.

She finally decided she was going to call him, she gave him a call and for those moments she didn’t receive an answer to his call.

His phone was powered off.

"What’s wrong with him, now he’s off his phone? Can’t he get it charged?" Phoebe mumbled trying again but just as before he wasn’t answering since his phone was powered off. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"What’s he trying to do now?" Phoebe complained as she walked to her bed laying on it, she wasn’t going to contact him for the night, what was he going to do, power off his phone for the remaining days?

Maybe he should also receive his deserving punishment, she powered off her phone and stuck herself in the sheet of the bed.

Looking at the ceiling, she counted sheep in her mind till she was asleep.

When Zayn was done with his tutor, after doing the right information, his tutor was ready to go home since he did according to what was expected.

It was time for him to talk to Phoebe, he turned to look at the wall clock, and somehow something inwardly told him that he was not going to speak with Phoebe.

He walked back on his way to his bedroom when he heard the sound of a little mischievous cat in his kitchen.

"Leah," he stated after walking towards the freezer staying behind the door of the freezer and then he leaped outside to catch her in the act.

Leah was startled in surprise since she was caught red-handed.

"What is this little cat trying to do taking ice cream?" Zayn questioned looking at the six-year-old girl who was holding the spoon of the ice cream bowl in her hand.

The bowl was already opened and the little girl dressed in her pajamas dug her spoon into the bowl.

"Uncle Zayn," she said excitedly as she closed the door of the freezer and then she walked toward him to hug him.

Well, that’s after placing the bowl of ice cream on the counter of the dining table. Walking towards Zayn to hug him.

The little thing was hauled from the ground receiving a hug from him.

He hauled her making her feel comfortable giving her pecks on the cheeks.

"Did you miss me?"

The girl looked excited as she pulled her head backward to take a look at him, and then with her two front toothless spaces, she excitedly spoke.

"Uncle you didn’t come out immediately."

"Did you miss me?"

" Of course, I missed you so much. "

" How much did you miss me? "

" This big, " extending her arms she gave a demonstration of what she was saying.

Zayn couldn’t help but chuckle, as his eyes realized that the girl was doing something naughty a few minutes ago.

"I saw this girl was eating the ice cream bowl and I don’t see your mother around."

"Uncle Zayn please don’t tell Mother. She’s going to scold me so badly. "

" Do you think so? " Leah nodded dangling the buns of her ponytail which was done on two separate sides.

"Okay, I’m not going to tell your mother but I’m going to say, anytime you want to take ice cream tell me then we both can take the ice cream together, I’m sure that your mum is not going to scold you about it. "

" Okay Uncle, thank you, you’re more interesting than Father is, " the girl said with excitement as a glint of disturbed crossed his eyes.

" I know right, I’m more interesting than the boring man right? "

She nodded.

He chuckled looking at his sister’s daughter, everyone thought that he was the only child of his family as people were unfamiliar with his elder sister who decided not to take an interest in business, she got into an arranged marriage with one of his father’s business partner and since then, the only child that they’ve had from their marriage is their daughter Leah.

But then, he’s always working and he doesn’t have time for his daughter that much, even with the fact that Leah decided to spend her holiday along with her mother in his house, her father was unfamiliar with their movement.

Well, maybe that’s because she would come to the house on certain days and then go back to her house.

But as for that day, she stayed at the house.

"Okay, now, let’s get eating," Zayn walked to the seat placing her on one of the seats, and then he sat, taking another bowl from the freezer the two of them ate slowly so as not to cause brain freeze.

"Uncle, did you still see that woman you used Mum to intimidate her that day when she came to the house?" Leah questioned as Zayn turned to her to answer the question pausing the eating of his ice cream.

He didn’t say a thing dumfounded by her question he didn’t know what reply he was going to give but then the girl got the situation.

"I know you’re trying to make that woman jealous so she would come to you, are you trying to date her?"

Vixen dropped his spoon shocked by her dominating question.

"Uncle your silence is answering my words."

Zayn couldn’t help but chuckle out of unbelieve.

" Leah, how old are you? "

" I’m six. "

" Oh my, my girl is already become so brilliant she knows what’s going on around her environment. "

Leah giggled as she stuck the spoon in her mouth taking a scoop of ice cream in her mouth.

"I’m not that dumb not to know what’s going on, so are you going to date her?"

"What do you think?"

"I think you’re troubling her, you’re making her tensed."

"Why?"

"Mummy says that you have a crush on her and if she also has a crush on you she would feel tensed when she sees you with another woman."

"Oh really?"

She nodded.

"So uncle how big do you like her? "

"How much do you want me to like her? "

"This much," she raised her hand taking an ice cream scoop which was small.

"Isn’t it small?"

"That’s it, uncle, if you get to love her so much then you will only get to have a big brain freeze if you take a big scoop of love and you don’t want a big headache, do you?"

Zayn chuckled.
