Chapter 29

Looking for Love

Zayaan starts driving off. I thought we were going directly to the car meet but we end up in a place full of resturaunts and shoppings stores around.

"Do you want chipotle?" Zayaan asks me.

"Yes" I tell him. "But I can not finish one by myself" I tell him.

"Me neither. That is why I am sharing with you" Zayaan tells me. I am surprised that he can not finish one by himself since he is a tall boy! Even my friends can. I would probably throw up if I tried to eat one by myself. It is too big for me. I always have to share. I managed to do it once but not again.

I remmeber we talked about chipotle before through text before.

"What are you doing right now?" he asks.

"I am getting chipotle to eat".

"Oh nice. I love chipotle!" Zayaan explains. 

"We are gonna get some sandwhiches" Karim says.

"Okay, meet us in the car afterwards" Zayaan says. He parks the car and we walk hand in hand to chipotle. I am so tired. honestly and shy about ordering.

"What do you want to eat?" he asks me.

"Anything" I say but he expects me to choose all the items catching me off guard.

"What do you want?" he asks me. Why is he asking me. Is this a test to see what kind of food I am into? I am a stage of life where I am so unconfident, even about the food I choose to eat.

"Umm black beans"

"Brown rice?" he asks me..

"Sure" I am surprised that he goes for brown rice. Does he like to diet?

"Corn, sour cream, avocodo" I say, he seems like he judges me for a bit. But that is what I am used to eating with my friend even though its a weird combination.

"Steak, chicken" he adds on.

The bill comes out to 14 dollars which he pays for in cash. I am surprsied it came out to be that expensive. I wonder if I added on too much stuff. He grabs some forks and asks me to grab some napkins which I do. We take it back to the car.

We wait in the car for Karim and Arhaam. They come back with brown paper bags of fast food. There food honestly looks soo good, honestly almost better than ours. IT seems flavourful. and a lot. How are they gonna eat all that by themselves?

"Okay ready?" Arhaam asks.

"Yes, lets go to the car meet now!" Zayaan excitedly says.

He starts driving away.

"How many people do you think are gonna show up?" Arhaam asks. He is so excited. I can tell that he really loves cars.

They give estimates.

"You are gonna go to your first car meet," Zayaan tells me excitedly.

Arhaam and Karim are eating while Zayaan drives. I am jelous. I want to eat too!

Before we know it, we are at the car meet.

I look around and am surprised. This is it?

It looks like a deadish area. There are not that many cars. I was expecting something more exciting honestly.  It looks kind of dead. Did it end already?

Karim and Arhaam get out of the car and start socializing with the other people there who came in their cars.

Meanwhile, Zayaan asks me, "Wanna eat now?"

"Sure!" I say. I am excited. I love chipotle!

He opens the food for us and passes me a fork. We both start digging in. I do not know why but I feel so shy eating in front of him. I think this is the first time ever that I have ate in front of him.

I am eating slowly and only eating when he eats. I think he is eating more than me. I do not know why I am eating so little. It is like all of a sudden my appetite went away. I feel like this is how you know I was really into Zayaan. Because I rather just be with him than eat food. I would rather starve than be without him.

"Hey I am eating like everything. You need to eat more!"

After eating some spoonfuls he tells me, "Okay I am full, you can have the rest".

"Okay." I keep eating. Why do I feel so guilty eating the food for even though he bought it? My precense should have made him lucky enough honestly.

"Eat babe, eat!" he motions with his fingers for me to eat more with my spoon. I think I felt self conscious eating becuase I am sloppy.
