I shrunk my neck and took the jacket from Iqraam, wearing it
It was big for me but I wore it under their glaresIt was warm and had Iqraam scent on it making me want to sniff it but that would be weird
The jacket didn't go bad with my dressing at all, I was wearing a light blue long sleeve top and dark blue mom jeans with white hijab, his jacket is a dark blue denim jacked which went well with my outfit
" Good now let's get going" Ismail said we all nodded
Nafaasat wasn't going with us as ahe already fell asleep
We took two cars, both were extended jeeps
The girls took one the boys took one
" Let Malika drive" said Fatima and the key of the car was thrown to me, I caught it and we all got into the car
Fatima sitting in the passenger's seatWe drove towards the gate of the Ibrahim's mansion and once we were out I sped up
We wound down the window wanting to feel the night breeze
The guys were up front so I stepped on the accelerator, speeding past them and Fatima shouted
" Later boys" waving at them
Iqraam was the one driving, he also sped up trying to catch up to us and it became a car race
******
" Gosh my insides are upside down" Shumayl said as we walked into the ice cream parlourIqraam and I raced each other here and I won
" Never let these two drive, ever" Shumaar seconded his twin brother holding his stomach and the girls weren't fairing any better except Fatima who's used to my driving speed
The only ones who were fine were, Iqraam, Abdullah, Ismail, Faisal, Fatima, myself and surprisingly Zainab" Quit whining let's get ice cream" Fatima said to them
" All of us can't go to the counter at the same time, sides there aren't enough tables" Iqraam said and we all nodded
The whole place was filled up with people
" Why don't we eat it in the car " I suggested as we agreed not to take any ice cream home unless we wanted to get roasted
" Not bad but who'll go get our orders" Shumaar said nodding
" I can go" I volunteered
" I'll come with you" Iqraam said
" You guys look like a couple" Zulaiha stated looking between me and Iqraam
" Yeah and they're doing the couple outfit thingy again" Zainab seconded and others nodded
That's when I looked at Iqraam's outfit, he was wearing dark blue jeans the same colour as his jacket, the one I'm currently wearing and the wore a white top with white sneakers
I was wearing a black sneakers so we didn't totally match
" What a coincidence" I said smiling awkwardly
Iqraam cleared his throat and we all turned to looks at him
" We're here for ice cream, let's get it and go" he said and I bobbed my head up and down
" So you two, take our orders" Ismail said and they all told us their orders at the same time
" Shhhh" I shushed them
" One at a time, I'm typing it down" I said holding my phone up, I didn't want to mistake their ordersAfter getting their orders down, me and Iqraam made our way to the counter while the rest went to the car
" Hello how can I help you?" A waiter asked us smiling, he had brown hair and brown eyes, was pretty tall but shorter than iqraam
" We'll like to order for ice cream" Iqraam said cooly
" Alright, what flavors?" The waiter asked again
And I started calling out their orders one at a time until we got everythingand Iqraam paid for it
" Anything else?" The waiter asked us smiling
" Stop staring" Iqraam said in a deadpan tone to the waiter and he turned to face me
" Let's go" he said taking the paper bags in my hands and walking towards the door of the ice cream parlour
I had to jog to catch up to him, he's long legs made him walk faster
We walked out of the ice cream parlour and made our way to the parking lot
We got to the car and said at the same time
" As Salam alaikum"
" Wa alaikumus Salam" they all replied
All the doors of both cars were open and some sat in the car while some stood
" Here are your ice creams" I drawled pointing at the paper bags in Iqraam's hands, he didn't let me carry any
We brought out the ice creams and shared it accordingly
Iqraam gave me mine and took his last
" I want to sit down" I said looking at both cars to see if there was a seat not occupied
" Let's sit on the bonnet" Iqraam said pointing to the bonnet of the car closer to us
" Sure" I chirped and we made our way there
Iqraam climbed on the bonnet effortlessly and I put my ice cream down first before struggling to get on the car but that failed
Iqraam came down from the bonnet and asked me
" Need help"" I think so" mumbled thinking back at my former tries
He said Astaghfurulla under his breath before picking me up like a child and placing me on the bonnet of the car like I weighed nothing
I was quite stunned and my heart did a sum assault
He sat on the car again and picked up his ice cream like he didn't do a thing
" Um, thanks?" I said unsure of what to say
I picked up my ice cream and opened the plastic lid
I ordered a vanilla and Oreo flavor with chocolate sprinklesI took the first bite and couldn't help but close my eyes and moan at the deliciousness
I opened my eyes and saw Iqraam staring at me
" What" I asked
"Is it good?" He asked looking at my ice cream and I nodded
I looked at his ice cream and his is chocolate ice cream with chocolate dressings" Okay" he murmured
" How about yours?" I asked him and from there we continued talking while eating ice cream
