"Areezah are you okay?" Jameel asked as he helped me get up from where we fell. I couldn't help but look at how handsome he is, and for a moment I wanted to say 'how are you this handsome?' Then my siblings said "Awwnnn."

I was glad for that. At least it brought me back to my senses.

"I'm okay." I replied. My siblings again, started arguing on what channel the TV should be put on while Jameel and I stare at each other in confusion.

The argument went on until Jameel silenced them. That's after staring at me "Okay peeps, here's what we will do." They all kept mute and I wondered in silence, when last did I talk that will make them go quiet like this?

"Imaan baby wants to watch the cartoon network?" Jameel directed his eyes at Imaan as she nods her head fervently.

"Bro here wants to watch the live match?" Jameel looks over at Ikhsaan as he uttered "can't even afford to miss it." I scoffed. Boys and balls.

"And Mimi wants to watch all those kdramas?" Jameel said purposely making fun of Aminah. And from the way Jameel sounds he isn't into kdramas, anyways are guys ever into kdrama?

I could watch kdramas from sunset till dawn. So long I get bowls of popcorn and a pack of chocolate, chocolate ice creams with Doritos.

"Ya Jameel! You'll never know the joy kdramas gives." Aminah defends, crossing her arms which earned a laugh from Jameel.

"Okay what we do now is, me and my bro will go upstairs and watch the live match. Imaan baby you can go to Your sister's room to watch cartoon and Aminah the living room is all yours what do Y'all say?"

Smooth.

I mean, have you ever seen someone who's bipolar? Even if you have do you think that person is more bipolar than Jameel, nah I don't think so. He changes his attitude with a blink of an eye.

My siblings shouts "yay!" in unison as all of them sprints to the respective rooms suggested by Jameel.

And then I realised that I was left with Jameel.

Alone.

"Do you want to watch anything?" the question left me flustered, it isn't even a flirty question but I'm here blushing like he's saying something else. He just asked if I am interested in watching something.

Should I say yes? Or no?

"I haven't prepared dinner, " I deadpanned. The problem is when Jameel is being nice I don't always know how to act. I'm afraid he'll switch up to his former self arrogant and disrespectful man.

I do want to watch a movie. I also want to make something for us to eat. But when I weighed it, the latter seems to be the best thing to be done right now.

"It's okay, let's go on a date." He also deadpans, could it be he's feeling awkward with me? Is he just trying to be nice for caring sake? Or he's just doing it willingly?

"I mean, all of us?" he said instead. But deep down I know he meant that first words but it is too awkward for him to admit.

"If all of us should go out do we call it a date?" I said, amusement written all over my face. I'm taking the opportunity of Jameel being embarrassed to taunt him.

He gives me an awkward laugh, "Of course not, but if you want something else?"

What??????

Is he hinting that he wants to go on a date with me?

Okay this is where I have to play dumb. I mean, girls am right, right? In other to know what he is really getting at I need to play dumb.

"Something like what exactly?" I continue, the smile never leaving my face. This is getting more interesting by the minute. The best part is Jameel's red face. I wish I could touch his face to know how hot it'd be.
