NADIA'S POV

"Care to fill us in Nadia you seem to know something about what just happened" Idaya asked looking at me confused.

"Yea what was that all about" Raheem asked with the same confused look on his face as Idaya.

"lo vedrai presto" A small smile appearing on my mouth. I know the pronunciation was probably completely wrong but he got what I was saying. (You'll see soon enough)

"Cute, but nice try" he said sarcastically trying not to smile but I knew he was being honest.

"Yea cute whatever, umm I really don't wanna sit here and be a third wheel so can we get the dessert to go"

"What no, your not third wheeling, but yea I kinda wanna go now too"

"Okay, yea I'll go tell them, text taliya or hamzah tell them to make their own way beck to the hotel" Raheem said getting up.

"Okay"

"Umm so... you gonna fill me in or not" Idaya blurted

"Oh yea right, so basically hamzah has a crush on taliya and I sort of told him she has a crush on him too..."

"You did?!"

"Yea and I kinda gave hamzah taliya's dad's number so I'm guessing he spoke to him because he wanted to have permission first before talking to taliya about it" I explained really fast then took a breather.

"Oh my god! Your joking right!?"

"Nope"

"Aaah I'm so so excited" she hit my arm hard "I hate you, why didn't you tell me before?!?"

"Because I didn't think he would be man enough to call her dad so I didn't wanna get both your hopes up"

"Okay that does make sense, all is forgiven I don't hate you"

"Yea, I know you love me"

"Yea, yea can you call because my phone is low battery"

"Why am I not surprised" I picked up my bag and took out my phone I had gotten a few messages, I made a mental note to rely to the later. I called taliya's number and she picked up on the second ring.

T- "I'm going to kill you when we get back!"

N- "Whatever, I know your having a good time and that you love me forever giving him the idea"

T- "fine your right,"

N- "I know I am"

T- "what's up?"

N- "we're going back to the hotel so your gonna have to make your own way, sorry love you bye"

T- "bu-" I quickly hung up so she couldn't complain. I was also really glad to hear that she was having a good time. If the people that I love are happy then so am I.

Raheem had returned while I was talking to taliya, he just sat next to me and watched which honestly made me a tad uncomfortable, but it's Raheem he strives to make me uncomfortable.

Idaya was on her phone now in her own little world so she didn't even notice.
"How long did they say?" I asked

"About five more minutes"

"Okay"

I opened my phone and saw that my mum had sent me a message so I checked it because it could be important. I was about to but I could tell he was still watching me and it was getting annoying now.

"What?"

"Has anyone told you how pretty you are?" He said randomly. Idaya looked up from her phone at Raheem then me and giggled. By now I know my cheeks were bright red and there was nothing I could do about it.

"I uh"

"Actually yea we tell her all the time but she doesn't listen to us" Idaya chimed she was right her and taliya do but I brush it off, I don't like being the centre of attention.

"Why's that?" He asked her, now they we're having their own conversation about me and I was sitting in between them.

"Apparently she doesn't like being centre of attention and having all eyes on her"

"That's good because neither do I, I want her to be my centre of attention and for her to only have my eyes on her" he replied to her but was looking at me.

"I'll be sure to let her know" she said smiling.

"You both realise I can hear you, right?"
~~~~~

Raheem opened the door for Idaya and she sat in the back, he then walked round to the from door and opened it for me and got in willingly without even thinking twice about it or him forcing me to.

"Wow there is a first time for everything" he said sliding in his seat.

"Don't make me change my mind"

"You guys talk like you're already married, Jeez" Idaya said

"No we don't" I both blurted

"Yea you do, you might as well just do tie the knot" she chuckled. Raheem looked at me then started driving.

"Tell her Idaya, she won't listen to me"

"Yea she's really stubborn."

"I am right here!" I shouted she just laughed at me but he didn't. I've realised that he doesn't really laugh around other people or smile now that I think about.

"So Nadia what are you doing tomorrow?" She asked

"I don't know, what am I doing tomorrow Raheem?"

"Well your free tomorrow so whatever you want"

"Nothing, what did you want to do babes" Raheem looked at me shocked like I just said something crazy.

"Babes huh?" He asked smiling slightly if you could even call it that.

"Sorry not, you daya" I whispered and tried to hold back laughter.

"Maybe go shopping then lunch"

"Yea sure" I was still looking at him "that's okay right?"

"Yea I'm not your dad, I can't tell you what to do"

"Oh kayy..."
~~~~~

The rest of the drive back was quite boring, none of us really spoke Idaya showed me stuff on her phone every now and then but that's about it.

He wasn't talking to me but I guess maybe he's just tired because I know I definitely am.

"Thanks for the ride Raheem, I'll see you upstairs Nads" Idaya said about to leave.

"Yea sure"

"But I'm comi-"

"You guys can take the stairs" she cut me off then left.

"I guess we're taking the stairs" I muttered
