Black Silk

CHAPTER 49

RAHEEM'S POV

Unfortunately Hamzah forced me to allow him to plan my bachelor's party... I didn't want one but he didn't care as per usual and decided to do his own thing. "Where are we going?"

"Somewhere" Lee said and I rolled my eyes at him under the dim light of the limo.

"No questions"

"I have one more question." I stated

"Fine, one. What is it?"

"Why is he here?" I asked. Somehow he had managed to slither his way into the group.

"Because you get along with less people than I initially thought you did." Hamzah said gesturing to the small group. There was only five of us altogether including me. "And the animosity between the two of you need to be distinguished"

"He's right" Kai said looking up from his phone for the first time.

"Don't stroke his ego."

"It's true though rara-" Zain started

"Please don't call me that."

He chuckled and rolled his eyes, not many people knew about that nickname, I wanted to keep it that way. "How is Sunshine anyway?" Lee asked. He had become more bearable over time but I still didn't like him.

"Sunshine?" Zain asked confused.

"Nadia," I clarified "she is fine. Nervous though." I glance out the window trying to get a glimpse of where we could have been going.

"Aww, bless her cotton socks"

"Y'know, I never pictured a girl like Nadia to be your type. Love her though" Kai said and the rest of them agreed with him. "Honestly i'm still shocked. How'd you guys even meet?"

"That was actually my doing" Hamzah proceeded to explain how we met and how he played the biggest part in our 'love story'. It was funny because I would have met her at work regardless if I went to that brunch or not, but I just let him think he was our Cupid.

NADIA'S POV

I had no idea or say in what Idaya and Taliya had planned for my henna night/ bridal shower but I trusted them. All I knew was it wasn't going to be a traditional one because I didn't want henna.

In the morning the two of them surprised me with a spa and facial, that lasted majority of the day, then they ushered me home to get ready, for what?

I didn't know.

Apparently the everyone was supposed to wear pink and I had to wear white. Because it was only the girls, I got to go all out and be as extravagant as I wanted. With that being said I actually went pretty simple with an all white structured corset kind of dress that had a thigh slit and gold jewllery. I was very much out of my comfort zone but... Taliya was definitely disappointed that I went so simple.

When I was done with my makeup I stared at my reflection in utter disbelief. I still couldn't believe that I was getting married. Over six months and I still hadn't fully processed the thought. T-minus seventy-two hours and I was having unnecessary doubts.

No, stop we're going to be fine

I shook the thoughts away then went down the stairs to find everyone already ready and waiting. They all looked amazing in their pretty pink outfits, I was definitely looking forward for this ladies night. "Oh you guys all look fantastic, better than me!" I laughed.

"Oh whatever, you look beautiful" Maliya stated making me blush.

"Aw, thank you Mal" I replied then made my way around the room greeting everyone. The whole place was decorated with baloons, banners confetti, you name it. Against the back wall of the living room there was a table with different gold, white and pink treats, from cake pops, to random on theme sweets, to cupcakes and to top it all off a white, pink and gold cake that looked delicious.
