Asaal

Nurain.
Lily and Aisha have gone to Yola with their Dad and we are preparing to go to Qatar tomorrow, Salma booked the tickets 4days ago, we are going to Qatar for 4 days then we are going to Spain for 3weeks , My feelings for Asaal keep on growing everyday and I keep on making dua that she reciprocates the love too, sleeping and talking with her about random things has been so amazing.
"Nurain, are you going to the office today?" Asaal asked, she just woke up from her afternoon sleep, I don't think she knows it's already 4pm.
"Pretty princess, it's already 4, so no, do you want something?" I asked
She yawned and shook her head, she looked around the room, then she stood up from the bed and went to the toilet, she took 10 minutes then she came out and prayed Asr, I'm so happy, she's improving in her deen, I just watched her making dua, then she removed the hijab when she was done and folded it with the prayer mat.
"What time is our flight tomorrow?" She asked
"We are leaving 3am" I said
"Like this night?" She asked
"Yes"
She scratched her head and put her hands on her waist, she then grabbed the landline and called Amina to come upstairs, a minute later Amina was already at the door, Asaal told her to come in, oh yes I was in her room, she and Amina entered the walk-in closet and brought out two boxes, I laid down on the bed and watched 'Peeky blinders' while Asaal and Amina were packing up, they didn't finish packing till like dinner time, i and Asaal went downstairs together and ate dinner then I went to my room to start packing, so stressful.

Asaal.
Am I crazy? Why am I starting to catch feelings for this nigga, he's all fine and all, but no, I'm not meant to fall for him so soon, it's already 12am and I'm in Ihsaans room with Na'eem, Ruqaya and Salmaa
"You guys when we go to Qatar I'm planning on buying more abayas" Ihsaan said
"Yes! Me too!" Salmaa squealed in agreement
"I just want to take pictures" Ruqaya said
"I want to buy clothes" Na'eem said
Then they all looked at me, what do I want?
"I just want to explore places with Nurain, he said he'll take me to places" I said
"Oh My God! Are like the two of you in love now?" Ruqaya whispered loudly enough for the five of us to hear
"No, not yet, we are like best friends now" i say
Then Salmaa and Ihsaan just kept on smiling
"You guys no that Ahmad Dikko guy that's Faruks friend" Ihsaan said
"Yes, what happened to him?" Salmaa asked
"He asked Asaals sister out, Afrah and she rejected him, and now he even went all the way to their house because of her. He wants to marry her and she doesn't want" Ihsaan narrated
"So he's the Ahmad guy she's always telling me about, this is not the first time he's doing this, there was a time my brother almost beat him because he was disturbing her" I said
"Kai! He should just give up" Ihsaan said
"Exactly" Na'eem said
Then we heard a knock on the door
"Come in" Ihsaan said
It was Sultan, he came in wearing a black polo shirt and blue jeans
"Mama said we are leaving in 30 minutes time, start getting ready" Sultan said
"I haven't showered" i said
"Same, we'll have to do a quick shower" Ruqaya said
I quickly stood up and went to my room, I entered the bathroom and took a warm shower for 10 minutes, which meant I had 20 minutes to get ready, I entered my walk-in closet and put on my plain white Ralph Lauren t-shirt and I wore my teal mom jeans, I carried my white Ralph lauren sweater in my hand, I wrapped my teal jersey scarf on my head and then I put on white Balenciaga sandals and then I carried my Louis Vuitton tote bag, I put in all my electronics in the tote bag and then I put on jewellery, Nurain already sent someone to carry my boxes and then I switched off all the lights in my room and I locked the door, I went downstairs and I saw everybody sitting down
"She's here let's go" Sultan said to everyone
"Are you sure you carried everything?" Mama asked everyone
"Yes Mama" we all said
I zipped my tote bag and we all left the house, I entered the same car with mama and Sultan and we started moving. Sultan started sleeping off while I was just using my phone, when we finally got the airport at 1:15, we all came down and someone came to help us with our bags, I stepped down from the car together with mama and we were led into the airport by a Soldier, he helped us with showing our passports and all and then we went to the ticket section, we stood in pairs, I stood with Nurain, Salmaa stood with Faruk, Ruqaya stood with Sultan and Na'eem stood with Usman, mama was in front, I was just looking round the airport and i could feel Nurains gaze on me
"You're staring too much, don't you think?" I asked
"I'm staring because you look so pretty, this your beauty is the one that causes a fever" He said, then I looked at him, why is he over exaggerating
"Stop, you're making me blush"
And I was actually going to blush, we were just joking with each other then our turn finally came, we gave them our passports and then they looked at us
"You guys are married?" The lady asked
"Yes" Nurain answers
"You guys look good together, let me give you guys our best seats in business class" She smiled, she was so nice
She gave us our tickets and we both smiled at her, Nurain put our boxes for weighing and it went to the airplane trunk, so it was just my hand luggage and my tote bag with me, we were led to the VIP lounge and we sat down, they served us juice and water then they gave us snacks, I looked at them and I only drank water and I took one biscuit.
We have boarded the plane and everyone is settling down in the plane, mama is in first class and we are all in business class, i and Nurain were in a different section and it wasn't full, it was only like 5 people in here, I love it! I and Nurain sat in our cabins, we put in our hand luggage's and sat down next to each other, I put my phone on airplane mode and switched on the tv right in front of me, Nurain was texting someone and I was trying to look at who it was but he had a privacy screen guard, it took 30 minutes before we took off, I and Nurain held each other's hands tightly cause I was afraid of takeoffs and landings, when we were in the air, I looked for a movie to watch but everything was boring so I decided to disturb Nurain
"Hey, pretty boy" i smiled at him, all his attention was on the tv, but i didn't care
"Pretty boy" i repeated myself
He just glared at me, this glare was hot sha, then he continued what he was doing
"Are you trying to ignore me?" I asked
"Can you keep quiet and watch something" he finally said
"I'm bored, I have nothing to do" i said
"What do you want me to do?" He asked
"Entertain me" I said
He didn't answer me, then he paused what he was watching then he looked at me
"Do you want me to kiss you?" He asked with all seriousness in his face
I gave him a blank look and blinked twice
"Yes or no" He asked again
I turned my head to other side and closed my eyes, I don't want to catch feelings yet, no.
"Asaal" he said
I didn't answer him
"I was just joking" he chuckled, his chuckle was deep
I still didn't answer him, my eyes were still closed, then he dragged me to him and put me on his lap and held my waist
"I'm sorry" he said, he sounded sincere
I looked at what he watching and I raised my hand to play it but he my hand and put it on his shoulder
"What do you want to do?" He asked
"Kiss you" I said, then I realised what i said, I'm such an idiot
Then he looked at me and smirked a mischievous smirk for the matter of fact
"Then what's stopping you?" He asked
"I have self control you horny bastard, let me go" i said trying to remove his hands from waist but his grip was to tight
"I can make the first move if you don't mind" he whispered in my ear
"Eww, let go of me" i said
Then he released me
"Go" he said then he kept on staring at me
I wanted to go but I didn't want to go, I paused for a minute and looked at me
"Why aren't you going, I'm not holding you" he said
"I'm going"
"Go"
I slowly stood up from his lap and he dragged me back down
"What did you just do?" He asked
"I just stood up" I said
"Whatever you're trying to do..
Then he paused and looked at me from head to toe
"It's working" he said, then he smiled
"I'm not doing anything" i smiled at him
"Aisha Asaal Aliyu- Dansari, you know what you're doing" He said, he kept on looking at me from head to toe slowly
"I want to sleep Nurain" i said
"No, you wanted to disturb me ko? You must disturb me" He said
"Please, I've disturbed you enough, I want to sleep" i said
"No" he said
I turned to face the tv, I played what he watching and removed his headphones from his ears, I put it on my head and watched what he was watching, this is so boring, he put his hands round my waist, my feelings are getting stronger, no.
****(flashback)
"Kabir, can you stop I'm feeling ticklish" 16 year old me said as we were sitting on the bench in school, his hands were round my waist and i was on his laps, we were both listening to For Tonight by Giveon
"I can't, my love, For today you're mine" He said
I was sitting sideways and I was looking at him
"I know but I'm going to be late for class, don't forget, I'm studying law" I said
"Dinner today? 7pm" he asked
"Baba is coming back today and Mama is in the hospital" I said, I wanted to cry after saying that cause I remembered what happened last week, My dad pushed mama downstairs last week cause she tried correcting Afrah, then Kabir frowned
"What did he do this time around?" He asked
I bent my head down, I almost started crying but I pushed my tears back
"He pushed her down the staircase last week" I whispered
He frowned even deeper, then he examined my hands and neck
"You're not staying at home tonight, I'm taking you to my sisters house" He said
"No, kabir, He'll kill me and he'll make mamas condition worse, please no" I begged him
"Asaal, he can't keep on hurting you and I'll keep on watching, no, as for mama, I'll make arrangements with the hospital, she'll stay in my sisters house with you, nurses will take care of her" he said, he tried to comfort me but it made me cry, the tears were heavy, I kept on crying and Kabir kept on trying to calm me down, I still kept on crying, he carried my tote bag and told me stand up, he held my hand and took me to his car, we entered and he started the car
"W-w-where are we g-g-going" I stuttered trying to catch my breath because of the crying
"We're going to the hospital, she's in Nisa premiere yeah?" He asked
I nodded, he cleaned my face and he started driving, he looked angry but it didn't reflect on his driving.
"Have you eaten?" He asked
I shook my head
"Why?" He asked
"I was waiting too go back home, I wanted to eat with mama" i said
"Did you eat breakfast?" He asked
"No" i said
"Kina hauka? (Are you crazy?) why didn't you eat?! You know you have ulcer! Do you want to die?!" Kabir scolded me
The shouting even made me cry more, he knew I hated it when I was shouted at and hates seeing me cry, he started driving slowly and parked by the side of the road.
"I'm sorry Mushmush, i didn't mean to shout at you, but you know you have ulcer at least eat something before leaving the house, okay?" He calmly said
I nodded and he wiped my tears and kissed my forehead
"Let me call home and tell them to make food then we'll take it to mama okay?" He said
I gave him a weak smile
"Thank you Kabir" i said
"You're welcome" he said
He kissed my forehead again and held my hand.
***(end of flashback)
I was smiling at my self when I remembered those times with Kabir, then I turned back to look at Nurain who was sleeping but his hands were still wrapped round my waist, I gently removed them and covered him with a blanket, I went back to my seat and I also covered my eyes with an eye mask and slept off.
