Chapter 7: Amira(August 10-11) WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY

Amira laid in bed looking up at her ceiling. Why was it that whenever she had a day off she always woke up earlier than necessary? The quietness in the house told her that Nola was already at work. She got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. What did she feel like eating? By the bananas, the bag of bagels sat out, probably from Nola. The growl in her stomach was an approving sign. She took the bagel out and popped it into the toaster. She slid over to the refrigerator and got out the strawberry cream cheese that she absolutely loved. 

Her phone blared from her room, ringing out the typical iPhone ringtone. She ran towards her room, hopped on her bed and took the phone out of the charger. She frowned when she didn't recognize the number. 

"Hello?" She said, trying not to sound breathless.

"Amira?" Her heart seemed to stop when she heard his deep sensual voice.

"Will?"

"Hi." He chuckled. "Sorry did I catch you at a bad time?"

"Oh no! Not at all." She took a deep breath and tried to hide her excitement. 

"So I know this is really short notice, but I couldn't think of anyone else." He sounded nervous.

"Whats up?" She walked back to the kitchen and took a plate out.

"I have a meeting in about an hour and I don't really have anyone to watch Amanda while I'm in the meeting. Mike told me you had a day off. I don't want you to feel like you have to watch her. I mean I guess I could take her with me, but its gonna take awhile and I'm not sure it.." She smiled when she heard him ramble on and on.

"Will.. It's fine. I'll watch her." She heard him sigh.

"Thank you so so much. I'll see you soon. You have no idea how much this means."

She giggled. "Bye Will." 

She finished eating her bagel when the doorbell rang. She ran to the door and opened it. She held in her breath when she saw that Will was wearing a navy blue suit that looked more than good on him. Amanda ran into the apartment. 

"Okay uncle Will you can go now." Except it seemed like they both didn't hear Amanda's voice. His eyes held hers. He cleared his throat and stepped in to put a small pink duffle bag down.

"Thanks Amira." He said before walking back into the hallway.

"Wait." She said. He turned back around to her and she saw the crease form between his eyebrows. He was cute when he looked confused. She walked up to him and was immediately surrounded by his smell. The want in the pit of her stomach began to stir, but she pushed past it and brought her fingers up to his tie. She began to tug at it to straighten it out. She could feel his eyes looking down at her. When she finished, she stepped back and admired her work. Her eyes went up to meet his and she noticed that his jaw was clenched. Her heart began to beat faster, what did she do? 

"Thank you." Was all he said before he walked away. She let out the breath she didn't know she was holding and went back into the apartment. Amanda was on the floor by the duffle bag getting a few barbies out. 

"What do you want to do today?" She asked getting down to her knees.

"I want to play with my barbies." 

"Alright!" Amira got up and noticed that Amanda's hair was put up into an attempted ponytail. She laughed and decided to fix it. 

She watched as Amanda played with her barbies, having fashion shows, making families, and letting them nap.
