Everyone looked at me but no one did anything for a second.

I met Amer's eyes and he was looking at me shocked but I looked away from him.

Allah.Islam.Muslim!! I reminded myself.

The men obviously made no comment except my brothers who were smirking.

Go Aisha, my brother Huisain mouthed at me....Don't be confused it was an old joke between us to from a long time ago. I'll explain later.

My other brother just looked at me and smirked. I know he would make a childish comment later on so I kept quiet and gave him a glare.

My mother and sisters gushed around me saying how lovely I looked.

I rolled my eyes. Women!..okay let me rephrase that... Exaggerating women!

Since everyone was still silent and I could feel an intent stare on my back, I ushered everyone out.

What were we waiting for? And why did my parents look so proud at me? And why did my sister look a bit..sad? I don't know.

But, I was determined to find out!

As I stepped out the front door, it was crispy and cold. Three want any rain however it was more small cold breezes.

We all trailed to the car in silence, driving through the cold weather.

Oh well, this is England after all!

As we reached our destination after nearly half an hour of driving through the windy weather, we finally got out.

My dad, Amer's dad and Daniel went tho park our 3 cars that we came in and the rest if us trailed of to the restaurant.

It was called 'Priyama' which was a very unusual name for a halal restaurant but eh? The manager was half Arabic and half French. (Also a very unusual combination)

The editor who was waiting by the doors inside, gasped at the sight of all of us. Hmm...I smirked at him, there were a few more, honey! I thought to myself.

He looked a bit flustered but stammered to us if we had a reservation. We obviously didn't because my parents didn't know that we would come here so, we had to wait for 10 minted for a table that could fit us in plus 3 more.

I sat in between Miyah and Fatimah. The rest of the family and friends were scattered around, Amer in front of me.

The adults were more towards the left far end and us younger ones were more to the right.

As the 3 men came to join us they sat where the adults had left a few extra seats.

We all ordered food and whilst we were waiting, I started talking to Miyah about college and what university I would be going to next.

When out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone waving frantically at me.

It was Aisha!! What was she doing here? I excuses myself for a second to where she was sitting and went to see what the problem was....

Miyah's POV

I watched Aliyah excuse herself and walk away to the little section where there was a long hallway and toilets.

She disappeared round the corner.

I turned back to the table and rolled my eyes when I saw a love- struck expression on my younger brothers face.

Hmph! Puppy love eh?

"I think you should stop looking looking at her like that lil bro!" I scolded him.
