Black Silk

CHAPTER 54

NADIA'S POV

It was the last day in Greece and I was feeling homesick. We still had a week left before we flew home so I tried my best to put a happy face on and not kill the mood,but I'm pretty sure Raheem caught on.

I sat at the island eating a sandwich and talking to Idaya, Taliya and Malia while Raheem and the driver packed all our bags into the car.

"I don't think I've ever missed you guys this much" i said before talking a bite.

"Don't worry just one week left, you'll be back and everything will be normal again" Idaya tried to assure me but didn't help in any way.

I moved the food in my mouth to one side and said "Funny you say that because it really won't"

Sorry mum

"You're right, semi normal at most" Taliya added, I just rolled my eyes. Nothing was ever going to be normal again. I just have to create my new normal

"Hopefully, I need some kind of normalcy-"

"Baby, you ready to go?, oh hi ladies" they all greeted him back then went quite.

"Umm" I glanced down at my half eaten sandwich "Yea I will be if you help me finish this"

"Okay"

"As you can see, my cousin can't turn down food" Malia teased him.

"Shut up Malia, my wife is just a great cook" I am a really good cook.

"It's a sandwich, she didn't cook shit, fatass. No offence nads"

"None taken... I'll talk to you guys later, when we land, bye" I turned to Raheem and he was basically finished eating my sandwich "hey! MI asked you to help not eat it on your own"

"Sorry, it's just really good"

"It's fine I'll just eat half of yours in the car. Andiamo, fatass" He tried to protest but I shrugged grabbed the sandwich I made for him and walked out the front door.

"Get comfortable-"

"You'll be back in a minute, I know" I plopped down in my designated window seat with a huff. All the travelling was definitely taking its toll on me, but I was in no way complaining as I sat waiting for Raheem and the guards to be done with the routine run down of the plane.

"How long was I this time?" Raheem asks taking the seat next to me after ten minutes.

He places his hand on my thigh giving a small squeeze like he always does, I moved it off. "Long"

"What's with the fucking mood?" He frowns and furrows his brows looking over me like there's something wrong.

"I don't have a mood"

"Yes you do and you're taking it out on me for no good reason Nadia. What's your issue?"

My issue?

"I don't know what my issue is. Didn't even know I had one"

"C'mon Nadia I didn't-"

"No it's fine, I'm gonna go take my issues elsewhere and lay down, I'm tired" I stand up to leave for the room in the back.

Raheem pulls me back down onto the chair by the material of my sweatpants "You can't, wait 'til after takeoff. Put your belt on." He sighs then make's his was to the cockpit for god knows what reason.

I close my eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Takeoff.

I listen to him, so as soon as the seatbelt sign is off, I'm up. There are two guards stationed next to the emergency exits, I smile at them and they nod before I go inside the bedroom.
