Black Silk

CHAPTER 15

RAHEEM'S POV

We had just landed at the airport in Paris but Nadia was still comfortably fast asleep on my shoulder. She said that I should wake her up when we arrive but I couldn't looked too peaceful.

"Let's go, wake her up then" hamzah said gesturing to Nadia
Taliya and Idaya had already gotten of the plane and were waiting for us in the limo.

"I'll just carry her" I whispered picking her up bridal style "Get her stuff please" I wasn't surprised that when I picked her up she wasn't heavy probably about one hundred and thirty pounds.

Just as I was walking down the steps of the plane she woke up and just stared at me with a confused expression for a second then clocked on to what was going. "Oh my god Raheem, put me down I can walk..." she insisted covering her face with both her hands.

I chuckled at her childish behaviour "There's no point now love, I'm almost at the bottom of the steps"

"Yea bu-" she started

"Shhh and relax" I said before taking the last step and putting her down at the bottom.

"Why didn't you just wake me up?" She asked, her face was bright red. She is too cute for her own good.

"No reason"

"Sure..." hamzah muttered loud enough for us to hear as he passed to get in the all black limo.

NADIA'S POV

The drive to hotel it took about 30 minutes and was pretty fun we all talked and joked with each other except Raheem obviously. I've realised that he hardly ever laughs or smiles and when he does it only lasts a mini-second.

We all walked into the hotels lobby and a butler came and took our bags on a trolley.

"This place is beautiful" Idaya muttered while looking up at the ceiling. It was covered in amazing art works that could be in a museum and had gold accents here and there to match the lobby area.

It definitely was beautiful.

Raheem started walking up to the reception desk and I went along with him. There was a short line of people so we waited at the back.

"You know I just remembered something..." I started and he turned around quickly not knowing that I followed him to the line.

"And what's that?" He questioned.

"You were talking to my friends..." I smiled inwardly at his sudden reaction.

"Oh shit," he rubbed the back of his neck "I thought...never mind I won't anymore don't fret"

"It's fine, of course you can talk to my friends, anyone else your not related to is a no, no" I gave him a fake smile then took a step forward as the line got shorter.

"Alright then" he said stopping behind me

"Can I ask you something," I turned around to face him

"Umm sure," I have a feeling I know what this was gonna be about "what's on your mind?" I asked not really wanting to know.

"Earlier on the plane you were staring at me, why?" He asked

I knew it.

"I don't know" I shrugged biting my bottom lip

"Did you feel anything when I did this?" He cupped my face and brushed his thumb along my lip a again making me stop biting it.

"N-no" I stuttered feeling my face get hotter by the second. If that didn't give me away I don't know what would.
