Black Silk

CHAPTER 41

RAHEEM'S POV

"You are. How?. Cazzo! (Fuck). I can't take you home like this."

"You're... extra hot when angry at me you know... Huh weird" She said then bent over and started taking her shoes off.

"I'm not angry at you."

She was definitely drunk. "Here, take these" she handed me her shoes and started walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked following her.

"Outside...the stars...come with" she pointed to the garden door

This is bad.

"No, you're going to bed"

"Please...just...five seconds....I'll be...ooh-" she stumbled but caught onto the metal door frame "good I promise"

Really bad

I thought about it for a second, if I didn't let her go she'd be grumpy and nobody likes a grumpy drunk "Five seconds." I said sliding the door open.

"Yay!"

She walked outside into the garden and I followed warily behind, making sure she didn't do anything stupid. "Can we swim?" She asked going way too close to the pools edge.

"No, baby that's not a good idea" I caught her and placed her on one of the sun beds. "Nadia," She hummed in response, staring up at the stars "give me your phone"

She took her phone out of her bag, stared at it for a second before unlocking them held it out for me, but when I reached for it she retracted her hand. "Please?"

"Give me your phone, please" I sighed then took it "Don't move." I turned around and looked for a specific contact to call.

"As salamu alaikum"

"Raheem?, wa alaikum salam, is everything okay?" Her mum asked and I could hear how tired she was. I felt bad for calling at the hour and that was going to have to lie but I couldn't exactly tell her that her daughter was drunk and currently star gazing.

"Yes, sorry to be calling so late, I just wanted to let you know Nadia fell asleep." She laughed on the other end of the phone "my mum will set up a room for her to sleep in for the night and I'll bring her back safe and sound tomorrow if that's okay"

"That girl and her sleep. Okay that's fine, thank you for letting me know, see you tomorrow inshallah"

"Inshallah, bye"

"Oh that's Cold!" She was sitting by the edge of the pool with her feet in the water. I pushed the phone into my pocket and walked to her.

"God I told you not to move" I brushed my hair back "Of course it's cold love." I pulled her up so she could take her feet out and stand. "Times up let's go, come on"

NADIA'S POV

We were halfway up the stairs when I had the sudden urge to eat something. "Do you think I'm hungry? Because I think I'm hungry... but I'm not sure... where is the kitchen in this place?" I asked making a 'U' turn to go back down.

I could have sworn I heard Raheem say something but I continued when he just followed behind. After a while of me searching for the kitchen with absolutely no help, I found it.

Yes!

Most of the kitchen staff were still there clearing up so I decided to go to the sink and help wash the dishes. Sober me would have saw them in the kitchen and walked right back out because of the awkwardness but drunk me, she didn't care.
