The unbreakable

Chapter 2

Tariq

I noticed that I was looking like a total idiot and decided to just leave, as I was walking past her this aunty was trying to walk past me, making the space much tighter and for me to brush past her arm. God that perfume was amazing.

Layla

How rude he was staring now brushed past my arm on purpose, im already not liking this gathering.

Tariq

Dinner was served everyone ate, everything seemed to be going fine so far I haven't seen that girl around since I walked past her and I know I haven't made such a good impression to begin with but I will make sure I make it up to her, smiling into space. " Oye help with the chutney jar in the kitchen! it is too tight it wont open," my sister came in ruining my thoughts.

Layla

Everything seems fine so far, I have managed not to make any mistakes and seem to be answering everyone just fine, I also haven't seen that idiot since he walked past me. I pushed the other plates on the kitchen bench to make space for the new dirty dishes. I look up to see him ' the staring dude' walk in. Quickly I try to get my job done and leave but the chutney jar didn't have much left in it and it  wouldn't open for me to clean. Ugh the struggle is real.

Tariq

I entered to see her struggling to open the jar.

" May I help?" I ask .

" No its fine I got this" she instantly replies.

I couldn't help but smile, her face as she was trying to open it was hilarious but at the same time very beautiful, those dark eyes into deep focus.

" Are you sure you don't want any help?" I ask again.

She seemed hesitant but gave me the jar and it took a second to open, handing it back to her, she pauses for a minute then instead of a thank you she asks if I could get the other chutney jar down from the high shelf. I smile again and do as she wants at least she is communicating.

Layla

He asks if I need any help smiling like a jerk, there is no way I was giving him the jar to open I bet you he was wasting time, after a couple of failed attempts I give him the jar and he opens it instantly. How embarrassing. I also needed help to get the other chutney jar down, as he was getting it down from the shelf his shirt was being lifted and I couldn't help but stare at those abs they were some fine abs he had there. I snap back and get the jar he gives and pour the little amount of chutney left in the first one on to that, clean the jar and help with the remaining of the work, serving the aunties. I saw him leave through the corner of my eye. "Thank you", I whisper and smile.

Tariq

2 weeks have past since that gathering and since I saw that girl, I still don't know her name. Getting out of bed I get ready to leave for uni, it was starting again a new semester and my second year, engineering is hard and boring at times but it is what I always wanted to do.

Layla

It has been 2 weeks since that gathering and since I saw 'him' but I don't really have the time to think about that, I have been accepted into university and today is my first day studying medical, im so excited I couldn't even sleep the whole night just thinking about it.

" Layla eat your breakfast, you wouldn't want to go with an empty stomach," mum lectures, for her it is always about food.

I sigh, university... a new beginning that I have been waiting for.
