The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 6

" Malika"
I heard someone call my name and I groaned

" Malika, get up it's time for tahajjud" Fatima said this time successfully waking me up

" As salam alaikum" I said while yawning

" Wa alaikumus Salam, go and freshen up" she said to me and I looked up at her, she has already freshen up

I got up and dragged myself to the bathroom to get fresh and after performing Wudhu
I came out to see Fatima waiting for me

I went to my closet to pick a pair of abaya and hijab for both of us

I came out to hand her her's while she spread the prayer mat on the floor facing the Qibla

She took the abaya and hijab and wore it and I did the same

We prayed tahajjud together and made Duas while waiting for Fajr prayer

After Fajr, we went back to bed, hoping to sleep a bit more

******

Thirst for water woke me up and I sat up from my bed to fill the cup on the bedside table with water, I picked up the jug only to find it empty

I decide to go downstairs to fill the jug

Getting down from the bed I picked my hijab and tied it around my head to cover my hair and picked up the jug

I feel the floor with my feet for my bunny shoes and made my way downstairs

It was still very early in the morning and no one was walking around, I made my way to the kitchen and the door was ajar, and that's quite unusual

I heard shuffling sounds and
I decided to peep in to see who was inside
Leaning on the wall with my cheeks to the doorframe, I peeped in to see Iqraam, he was drinking water and his Adam apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed the water

I shook my head trying to get the dirty thoughts that was about to enter my head out of it

" What are you doing here"
I heard a voice next to my ears and jumped in fright

I looked up to see it was Abdul and he was laughing at me

" No fair" I said pouting and he chuckled

" What, you were acting sneaky and peeping about" he stated making me glare at him

" What's going on"
Some one said behind me and it was Iqraam

I spun around and I bumped into a hard human wall
My nose hurt
Why the hell is his chest so hard

I moved back and held my aching nose

"I'm so sorry, did that hurt" were the words Iqraam said and his voice made me go weak in the knees, his voice was deep and it sounded husky like he just woke up

Abdullah just laughed at my misery making me glare harder at him

" I'm fine" I say raising my head up to look at him only to meet his blue eyes, concern for me swirling in them
His eyes looked more beautiful in the dim light and I found myself getting lost in them

"Are you sure, your nose is red and all" he asked concern laced in his voice, bringing me out of my reverie

I looked down and smacked myself internally, I've got to stop all these thought about him in my head

" Does it hurt" Abdullah asked this time concern in his voice upon noticing my reddened nose after Iqraam pointed it out

" Yes, I'm fine, my nose just hurts a bit" I replied to both of them
Thinking
"After being hit by a human wall, how won't it hurt"

" I'm so sorry for that" Iqraam apologizes again guilt in his tone, he's so polite and nice

" No, it's okay, it's not your fault " I say to him trying to make him feel less guilty

" What were you doing downstairs anyways" Abdullah interrupted before Iqraam said anything

Then I remembered I came downstairs to get water and I was still holding the jug to my chest

" I came to refill the jug with water" I reply to him holding the jug up

" Okay " Abdullah mumbles nodding

" Let me help you with that" Iqraam offers taking the jug from my hands even before I could refuse

" There's no need for you to, I can do it myself" I protested even though he already started filling the jug with water

And

Silence

" Guy, let's head to the gym afterwards" Abdullah says breaking the silence

" Sure thing man" Iqraam replies to him and turned around to give me the jug as he already filled it with water

"Thank you" I mumbled out to him, taking the jug from his hands

"No need to thank me" He said smiling and did I tell you he looks good while smiling

Well he does

I smiled back at him before lowering my head and heading out of the kitchen, feeling blood rushing to my to my cheeks

He just smiled at me, and the way his bright but deep blue eyes twinkled.....

Ahhhhhhh, I screamed at my self internally

I need to get out of here

" See you guys at breakfast" I managed to say to them before running up to my room

I reached my room and opened the door, after entering
I lean my back to the door and touched my cheeks with my free hands and it was hot, I'm sure my cheeks are very pink if not red

"Where did you go"

I looked up and saw Fatima staring at me still laying down on the bed, a frown on her face

" I.... I went to refill the jug with water" I stuttered raising the jug up to show her

" Then why are you blushing" she asks me with narrowed eyes trained on me

"Me, blushing?"
"No I'm not blushing, you're just sleepy so you're seeing things" I deny blinking rapidly

" Okay, whatever you say" she says to me before turning to the side and sleeping back

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding
Thank goodness she let it be, I don't know how to explain the whole ordeal or why I was blushing

I also don't know why...
