Tariq

I couldn't sleep the whole night, staring blankly at the wall. That was bad, I made a really bad impression, with all this I get out of bed and get ready.

Layla

I step out of my room when Emir pushes me back in.

"Haven't talked to you in a while." He smirks

"What do you want?" I groan.

" How is uni?"

"Fine."

I try push past him, but his grip tightens.

" Any problems so far?" he pulls a serious face.

"No bro, everything is fine," I reply seriously.

He gives me the warning stare then laughs and leaves. Emir and I have always been like this, he does get quite overprotective at times, but what can I say after all he is my older brother, we do play around quite a bit , I cant imagine life without him. I open the door only to realise that it's raining outside, what a bummer.

Tariq

Its raining outside, my head throbs and the traffic is killing me. The poor people at the bus stop, they have to suffer through this rain, just then my eyes focus onto a girl standing at the bus stop, struggling top open her umbrella, soaking in the rain. It can't be, I cant believe it, its Layla. The wind blows her hair at her face, she seemed to be struggling.

Layla

Damn, the umbrella had to break down now. A black BMW pulls right in front of me and a tall familiar figure walks out...Tariq?

"Layla come in quickly, your soaking!"

"What you can't park here this is the bus stop!" I fight the wind and rain.

" Well then hurry."

" No im fine thanks."

He steps closer, god everyone is staring now.

" Layla your going to get sick," he says concerned.

Just then I notice Emir and his friends walk out of his friend Hamza's house. Shit if he sees me with Tariq, he is going to kill me before I open my mouth.

" Tariq go!"

"  Layla come!"

Ugh fine! I quickly run to his car and hide from my brother.

Tariq

She is one stubborn girl, by the time she sits in the car she is completely soaked. "Layla you are freezing"

"Tariq please I beg you move, please," she gives that pleading look again, I could feel my heart pumping hard. I start the car, Layla sinks under the seat, staring out the window, not blinking once. Her face had gone pale.

"Are you ok?"

"Huh? Yah im fine thanks."

Layla

Tariq starts the car and we move further away, thank god Emir didn't see me. Just then I realised im in Tariq's car, I was in such a hurry to escape that I completely forgot what I got myself into. I turn towards Tariq the same time he turn towards me, we quickly look away. The environment was beginning to get quite awkward when Tariq turns on the music.

Dil tera le legi

Jaan teri le legi

Imaan tera le legi

O Laila teri.. hey!

O Laila teri.. hey hey!

O Laila teri le legi 

Tu likh ke le le... hey hey...

O Laila teri le legi 

Tu likh ke le le

You have got to be kidding me.

Tariq

I cant believe my sister, she just can't refrain herself from keeping her songs in my car, I wish I never let her borrow my car, her song just worsened the situation.  Skipping the song I tell Layla to wear my jacket.

"No im fine," she replies shivering.

"You're shivering."

"Im fine."

I stop the car on to the side of the street.

" Dear Layla will you please wear my jacket, you will get sick and that wouldn't be nice would it? So please do me a huge favour and just wear it," I plead with both my hands together.

Layla

 " Dear Layla will you please wear my jacket, you will get sick and that wouldn't be nice would it? So please do me a huge favour and just wear it," he pleads with those puppy eyes.

It was the first time today that I was looking straight at his face, water dripped down his wet hair, and those chocolate eyes were locked into mine. Realising that I was staring I drop my gaze. I notice that we had pretty much arrived and I could walk the rest of the way.

"Thanks you but you will need it too, your wet as well and we have basically arrived so umm thank you very much for the ride and saving me from the rain I guess."

With that I step out and start walking towards uni, never am I to step into his car ever again. This shall be the first and last, I have broken enough rules today.

Tariq

She left without another word; she didn't even borrow my jacket, what kind of a girl is she?
