Black Silk

CHAPTER 32

NADIA'S POV

Of course once we landed back in the dull grey London it was pouring with rain but I don't mind rain and was happy to be home but Raheem didn't seem to feel the same way. This time there was no limo just Raheem's car and Hamzah's. When everything was packed into the two boots, we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways, Lee decided it'd be a good idea to come with us.

It wasn't

When we were near enough to civilization Raheem practically kicked Lee out, because apparently his presence was irritating. "Why do you hate him so much?"

"Who Lee?" I nodded "I don't hate him, but i don't necessarily like him either"

"Why?" I asked "apart from the fact that you don't like anyone"

"What makes you think that isn't the reason"

"I don't know, you seem to put up with him a lot more than you would with someone you simply didn't like," I shrugged "and I know there is some history between the two of you..."

He turned to me with a cocked brow "Observant little one aren't ya"

"You could say that"

There is a comfortable silence between the two of us before he stopped the car outside my house and started to talk again "We agreed to disagree, then went out separate ways."

"So you were close?"

"You could say that. C'mon let's get you inside" he sighed getting out then coming round to open my door before I could ask any more questions.

"Y'know I have more questions" I said taking some of my bags while he grabbed the heavier ones, wheeling them to my front door.

"I know."

"Do you want to come in and say 'hi'?" I asked, searching through my bag for my keys. I looked up at him and was staring down at me with a smile "what?"

"As much as I want to meet you're parents love, I don't think bringing home their almost engaged daughter after a week long trip would be the best first impression"

My face went crimson but I didn't even try to hide it at this point. "Good point. Is there like a dress code for tomorrow?"

"NADIA'S BACK!" I heard Iman shout from inside when I put the key into the door.

"It's a graduation love, not a themed party" He chuckled, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of my head "Wear anything. I'll come get you." He said over his shoulder as he walked back to his car and waited for me to open the door and haul all my things inside before he got in.

"How was paris?"

"where did you stay?"

"Did you have any croissants?"

"Or baguette's or macaroon's"

"Did you see the Eiffel Tower?"

"The Louvre?"

"Hi! Hello, aww I missed you too" I said sarcastically manoeuvring around them but they just followed me with their questions to the living room. "I'll tell you what, whoever takes the most of my bags to my room can get first pick" going to France I had one suitcase and one hand luggage bag, leaving and coming back home I had one extra suitcases and one duffle bag.

Maybe we might have over did it... Oh well

That's what got their attention "first pick of what?"

"Well, you're just going to have to wait and see" I shrugged

"I call dibs on the big one!" Nusaybah shouted running back to where I left my bags.
