That Hijabi (COMPLETED)

chapter 17

Hayat was getting done with the last few touch-ups and Mahnoor was helping her get ready.

She wore a full length floral dress... It was navy blue in colour with white design and flared sleves.
She paired it with a grey hijab . The makeup was minimal as usual and she looked just perfect.

Rayan came in exactly at 7 and hayat got downstairs.
He was mesmerized seeing her . In his eyes, she looked just perfect.

She got in the car with Rayan saying "chivalry is not dead"

Funny she thought to herself and gave a smile.

"Assalamualaikum " he says once he gets in the drivers seat.

" walaikum assalam... Where are we going?" Asks Hayat

"Patience my queen.... Patience" he says
"My ....queen..." she whispers to herself as her heart skips a beat

"Huh? Did u say anything?" Rayan asks
"N.... No... Nothing" she says stuttering

Rayan takes hayat to a classy hotel near the beach

The ambience , the decor everything gave a very woody and rustic scent in a pleasant way...
It was a very popular hotel in that area.
They sat down and he ordered some food.
The waiter returned with dishes.
All of them were Hayat's favourites.

Hayat looked at him questioning with her eyes "how? " she asked mouthing him
" I have my ways you know... Now enjoy" he says ... The sides of his lips lifting a little

They started playing 20 questions after hayat lost to him in rock- paper - scissors ...

" Hmm.... What should I ask... Who is the person you are closest to?" Asks Rayan

"Mahnoor... My turn ...what is your dream destination?" Asks Hayat

" Turkey...what about yours?"

"Me too... What about your favourite colour?"

" I don't have any specific colour that's my favourite but if I have to pick then black " answers Rayan

The game continued till they finished their dinner.
They went for a walk and talked
.

.

.
And talked.

It definitely helped them know each other to some extent.

On the way to their house... Hayat asked for ice cream .
They take the ice creams , reach home and after changing into comfortable clothing... hayat gets the ice creams....

Hayat got the double chocolate cone while Rayan got the mango flavoured one.
She starts eating while enjoying to her fullest ... Rayan was eating his own... When hayat asks for a bite of his..

" hey...Yours looks good... Can I have a bite" asks hayat with doe eyes
" Sure... Here you go" he gives her the ice cream
She takes the bite and says" mine is better " smirking a little

Rayan only smiles at her childish behaviour and starts checking his emails.

Hayat looks at him from a distance appreciating the way he works, the little frowns near his eyebrows whenever he gets annoyed, his  hands with long fingers typing away on the keyboard... Everything about him is just so manly and handsome.

"Like what you see?" He asks to which she gets red

" Gojo is better" she says and gets back on her bed and switches on the TV to watch some anime... It had been soo long since she watched one.

The episode starts playing and she watches it with 100% of her concentration.

Rayan works a little more and then joins her on the bed.

She doesn't even realise when he back hugged her .
He nudges near her collarbone which sends shivers down her spine...
He wraps his hand around her waist and rests his forehead on her back.
" Hayat.... Can you call me by my name?" he asks
" umm.. well...  " she hesitates because she was already blushing and it was hard to form words
" Rayan" she says in her small voice shyly with her gaze down

He comes infront of her and lifts her chin with his index finger
"Say again" he whispers getting near

XOXO.

That chapter was definitely  longer than usual.
Let me know what you think about it.
