بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 🌹 

                   Hanan's P O V

My eyes felt a little heavy from sleep as they fluttered open slowly, at the sound of subh prayer being called. I felt two strong arms wrapped around me and my head against some thing hard, I blinked severally, wiped my eyes with the back of my palm to clear my sight, then moved back a little, carefully, not to wake Hameed.

I lifted my head upward slowly and Hameed's face came into view, he looks cute, with his lips slightly parted his long straight eyelashes adorable touching his skin, my lips curved into a smile as a stared at him for quite a while.

with my brain blurred with his thoughts, and nothing else, I didn't realize that I was tracing his features with the tip of my finger, from his eyebrows that were naturally well carved, down to his closed eyes that looks round and large. I continued to trailed down to the tip of his nose before eventually gotten to his now parted lips, I used the tip of my thumb and pointing finger to close his lips but he opened them again I repeated the action and he repeated his also, I chuckled entertained by that and then pressed his lips together between my fingers staying like that with a wide grin revealing my teeth.

Underneath my fingers that were holding his full lips, I felt them moved a little, at first I didn't pay attention to it, till I felt them moved gently again, that was when I looked up at hameed, only to met his eyes staring directly back at me, I let go of his lips instantly but he was quick to get a hold of the hand with a chuckle "how long have you been awake" I asked perplexed "a little after you woke up" he answered groggily hugging my hand to his chest as he removed the one that was under me and laid his cheek on it.

I tried to freed my hand out of his hold, but he didn't budge instead he moved closer to me again, staring at me closely, we still had at least twenty minutes before the second call for subh prayer, so I relaxed a bit staring back at him through the dim light of the lamp

By Allah, I'm going to miss this soul, I wished I could restrict him from going or maybe follow him there but I couldn't, I just hoped he had be back before I realize it.

I let out a small sigh, kissing my teeth, "what going on in that head of yours" Hameed breathed out, his eyes a little shade of red and large, I could tell because of the light coming from the bedside lamp, I chuckled a little, at his choose of words because I didn't have anything on my mind "nothing" I replied simply "just tell me, I might help you do whatever it is" he looked down at me, stroking the side of my hair

it made me slightly uncomfortable, but I tried my best to hide it, he moves down a little, leveling his face with mine, with a smug smile on his lips "why are you quiet, hmmm" his eyes were staring directly into mine "I said nothing" I smile "there must be something, definitely" he shook his head, that smile still lingering on his face "ya Rabb, there's nothing" this time around, I pouted after saying the sentence wanting him to believe me, why do I have to had something going on in my mind, I thought, I couldn't answer myself as Hameed leaned in slightly and pecked my pouted lips.

This, was the first time he tried touching my lips with his. unexpectedly, butterflies abruptly erupted in my stomach, my eyelids went upward in slow motion, but from the way he was staring back at me I couldn't maintain eye contact, I let out a soft smile tearing my gaze away from him feeling giddy.

"Look up" when the sentence escaped Hameed lips, I couldn't bring myself to oblige, the light wasn't that bright, but I felt like he was seeing through me, I felt like it's taking long for the second call for the subh prayer to be called, I just want to be away from him so I could think properly but luck doesn't seems to be on my side

He tugged me by my side and I heaved a sigh, what other option do I have, I looked up at him, and as soon as my eyes met his, his lips came in contact with mine............ it wasn't what I was expecting so I was taking aback, I felt the electric shock travels from my brain down to my last toe

My eyes went wide and mouth agape unknown to me granting him access to meet my tongue The kiss was gentle and soft, descending an unknown feeling to my innocent self, I let my eyes drifted close as I savoured the feeling that was now engulfing me.

The second call for subh prayer made him slow his moves gently and eventually let go from the kiss slowly, I instantly felt the emptiness and dragged my bottom lip inwards, I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes so I stayed with them closed, I heard Hameed chuckled before he stepped down from the bed and left.

I remains in bed, untill I was very sure Hameed has left for the masjid, then I also stepped down and went for the ensuite, after the usuals, I walked out and perform Salah, I couldn't even wait to say my adhkar because I was thinking Hameed might come back any time from then, I packed my things without a second thought and left for my room.

I recited the holy Qur'an for as long as I can, feeling the tranquility and serenity that comes with Reading it alone, the feelings makes me want to live like that forever, emerged in the words of Allah the Almighty. I only stopped when the sun rises and that because Hameed had a flight to catch, nevertheless I still played the Qur'an on my phone and went together with it to the kitchen.
