Family

Part 6

(The next day at breakfast with the family. Faadilah's phone is blowing up with messages from Mike. Dad is concerned and starts to question it).

Kevin-  Why is your phone going off so much?

Faadilah- It's my favourite Tik Tok person. I met him at the beach yesterday  and we started talking.

(Faadilah texts Mike telling him to calm down with the text messages. They are having breakfast and her father is getting annoyed and asking questions. Mike agrees. Faadilah texts Mike back and asks if they can meet at the beach later that day).

Faadilah-  Can we meet at the beach later today.

Mike- Sure. How about around 5pm? Does that work for you?

Faadilah-  Yes it does. Okay I will see you later.

Mike- Okay see you.

(Later that day, Faadilah is at the beach before Mike. She is sitting patiently waiting for Mike to arrive. Mike arrives and Faadilah gets up to greet him and gives him a big hug).

Faadilah- Hi Mike. Oh I am so happy to see you.

Mike- Hi Faadilah.  So why did you want me to meet you?

Faadilah- I wanted you to meet me because I want to tell you something.

Mike- What did you want to tell me?

Faadilah-  Well we have been spending quite a bit of time together and I wanted to tell you that I really  like you.

Mike-  Really, because  I really  like you too.

Faadilah- Soooo... If I like you and you like me do you think we could be boyfriend and girlfriend.

Mike- Really? You want to be my girlfriend?

Faadilah- Yes. If you want to be my boyfriend.

Mike- Yes, I do. I was waiting for the perfect moment to ask you, but I wasn't sure if you were interested in me that way.

Faadilah-  Oh how sweet. Yes I am interested. Very much so.

(Faadilah takes Mike's hand and they walk along the shore).

Mike- It's gonna be hard to see each  other when we go back to Miami. I'm downtown and so busy and I know you're uptown and have school and tutoring.

Faadilah- I know. I can always ask my parents if I can stay here a little longer and just fly back when you leave.

Mike- Well they never met me so I don't think they will be okay with that. We should just enjoy this time we have together now and figure it out when we return back home.

Faadilah- You're right. Let's just do that.

(Faadilah and Mike have returned to their homes from vacation. A month has passed and Faadilah hasn't heard from Mike. Faadilah knows he is busy with his work creating videos, etc. but she thought he was really interested in her. Faadilah one day decides to go downtown and visit Mike).

(Faadilah arrives to Mike's loft downtown, She rings the doorbell. Mike answers and seems surprised that it is Faadilah. Mike let's her in and she goes up to his room).

Faadilah-  Hey babe, are you okay. I haven't heard from you in almost a month. You haven't called or came by to see me.

Mike- I have been busy.

Faadilah-  Busy with what?

Mike- I told you that with my videos and photo shoots I am busy.

Faadilah- Are you at a low moment, like is your depression really bad since you have been back?

Mike- Yeah it is. You won't understand why I am depressed.

Faadilah- Oh, I won't understand why you are depressed? I suffer  from depression just like you and you say I won't understand, like that is just so crazy. What is really going on?

Mike-  I don't wanna talk about it.

Faadilah- Well I came all the way down here to see you because I am worried, and I want to  know what is going on.

Mike- Nothing I am fine, don't worry about it.

Faadilah-  I wanna be there for you and I can't help you unless you talk to me and tell me what is bothering you. I hate seeing you this way baby.

Mike- I'm fine. I said I'm fine, so please stop asking me.

Faadilah- You know what? Fine. I'm leaving.

Mike- Wait princess.

Faadilah-  No, I'm leaving. Call me when you are ready to tell me what's going on and why you are depressed.
