What was that!? I couldn't seem to stop blushing and here I was worrying about him.
I've been blushing for 2 hours now. Everytime I think about Amir that image pops up on my mind. And forget about that, I slept on Amir's bed again!!
How did this happen? I was just waiting for him to
fall asleep, I didn't think I would be the one needing sleep.
Last night was heartbreaking. His troubled and crying face never left my mind.
What was his fault?
What did be mean by his fault?
This morning when he asked me if he was sick I couldn't say what happened. I just couldn't. And about his medication, I want to wait for him to tell me when he's ready. He's keeping this a secret for a reason. I don't want force him.
"Okay everybody I can see you're slacking and just because I've chosen our teams startup doesn't mean you get to chill. So get your ass up and move your legs." My coach yelled and the girls including me ran even faster than before.
I was leading with a band in my hand and reached the second girl handing the band as she ran next. We were playing a relay match, two and two and ran over and over again til the coach says stop.
Right now she was scolding us because we were slower in her eyes. The girls never gave up and their motivation was higher. I was training with them because I missed the energy when we all work hard together. But I usually analyse and instruct them as the captain.
"Come on guys, you can do it!" I shouted while waiting for my turn.
After a while of panting the coach yelled stop and we all dropped on the track field.
I was sweating and body hurt so good. My training hijab was stuck on my neck and the side of face. I bet my face is as red as a tomato and look like a mess.
"Good job, and I want see the same dedication tomorrow."
We all groaned in response and the girls went away one by one. I dragged myself the hard gotta move from here someday. After taking a shower and changing my clothes I was so ready to go home.
"Why are you still here?" I walked toward Lucas who was leaning on his car in the parking lot, I thought he left by now because they finish their basketball practice earlier than us.
It seems like Amir has already left.
Wait.. why am I looking for him?!
"I was waiting for you." He simply shrugged.
My brows rose "You were? Why?"
Why would Lucas wait for me?
"I wanted to ask you something." His gaze was drifting from here to there nervously.
Should I be nervous too or...?
I nodded "Okey shoot"
"See I... I have received two tickets to the cinema. And I was.. was wondering if you want to come along tonight?"
What.
Did he just ask me out?
Why? I mean he didn't show any interest in me, I though...
"It's fine if you have other plans." He added quickly.
"No... I mean yes I do have a dinner with my family tonight." As soon as I said that I could have sworn that his face dropped.
"But tomorrow I'm free." I smiled.
His eyes met mine and smiled slightly.
"Cool, tomorrow then."
"Yeah and it has to be Black Panther. I've been dying to watch that movie."
*********
Well this is awkward...
Everyone sat on the dining table.
My whole family and Amir with his dad. The fathers both sat at the two ends of table, my mother on father's right and Khaled on the left. Amir sat in front me on his father's right while my little brother Ali beside me.
The only sound in the kitchen was forks battling with the knife and the food.
The image from this morning still hasn't left my mind and I was trying to blush but Amir's gaze didn't help as he looked at me with amusement in his eyes.
"So brother in law, how is it going with connecting with my sister." Ali spoke and whipped my head to him.
"How about I connect your food to your face? I whispered to him "Eat up."
The smile he had dropped and quietly began to chew.
I glanced at Amir and hips curled to the side. It was not only him that was entertained everyone was smiling.
"Right, how are you guys? Are you getting along well?" My mother asked and I looked down busing myself with the food in front of me.
I don't even know what our relationship is. I'm so confused but is everything alright between us?
"We're doing okay." Amir uttered for the first time since this dinner started.
"Good, since we're all here I'd like to announce that Amir is needed in London for business and he will be leaving in the winter break which is in two weeks." His father said.
Amir is leaving and he didn't look surprise which means he knew about this and didn't inform me.
For some reason that makes me irritated and hurt at the same time.
Is he leaving me all alone in that house? But then again he's never home so I'm kinda used to being home alone.
"Then Layla can't live in that apartment alone." Mom glanced at dad for him to say something.
"Well it's her choice to decide what she wants." Dad said looking at me.
My choice? I mean I miss home and I really miss my old room but I was hoping that I get to travel to London for I've never been there before.
As if hearing my thoughts Amir's father said "Or she can go with Amir and sightsee."
I could feel Amir's gaze before everybody's.
"It will nice to see London for the first time."
I dared to look straight at Amir wanting to see his reaction. I failed for his expressionless face was hard to read or I could be really bad at reading people. But the only thing I noticed was that his pale blue eyes turned to midnight blue.
Sorry againð I was late but please
