The Unintentional Meet ✔️

15. The Unofficial Date

Inaya's POV

I looked at my wardrobe as if one good outfit would magically appear. Even if it was full of clothes, i felt like i had no clothes at all.

Rayan asked me to hang out with him the other day. After the way he consoled and comforted me, there was no way i was gonna deny him. I still remember his words

"You should see yourself from my eyes"

"There's absolutely no need to change yourself, you're perfect just the way you are"

"You're beautiful and stunning both from inside and outside"

When i think about those words, a smile automatically makes its way on my face.

"What about this one?" i asked alizeh, holding another outfit, who i called her for help because i was going crazy. She looked at it for a moment, then shook her head. Again.

"Alizeh yaaaar," i whinned and ran a hand through my hair.

"Offo, you're going on your first date, so obviously your outfit has to be perfect," she spoke while getting up and walking towards my wardrobe.

"I told you many times that it's not a date. Just a hangout." i sat on my bed while she searched for something from my cupboard.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever helps you sleep. But deep down, you also know that it's not just a hangout"

Just then, my phone rang, and i saw it was a video call from eman. I picked up and regretted it immediately.

"YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE WITH MY BROTHER AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!!!?" she said in a dramatic tone.

"It's not a date, just a hangout!!!!!"

"Oh please, you should see how nervous bhai is as if it's his wedding. He came into my room 3 times asking if his outfit was looking good. " her and alizeh both started laughing.

"This one's it!" alizeh took out something which i didn't even know was there.

It was a full sleeves beige checkered shirt with a sleeveless mini sweater paired with black jeans.

But i wasn't sure about it because i haven't worn it in ages. But alizeh kept pestering me to just try it, so i did.

"Oh my god, you look so pretty," both alizeh and eman gasped at the same time. I looked in the mirror, and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. It gave kind of a cute look.

"My brother will be so whipped when he sees you," eman said, making me blush.

"Ohoooo blushing, hmmm!!" Both alizeh and eman sang teasing me.

"Shut up, you both!" i exclaimed, trying to control my blush.

"Ok ok now don't keep my brother waiting for too long, and we'll ask for details later!" eman said as she cut the call.

Rayan and I decided to meet at a park nearby and then from there we'll go to 'the surprise' place which he wasn't telling me about.

****

I was in the park waiting for him. It's been only 5 minutes since i arrived.

Someone tapped my shoulder, and as soon as i turned around, my breath got hitched. Rayan. He was there in a white t-shirt paired with a grey jacket and black pants. It was a simple outfit, but somehow, he was looking like a model in it.

I met his eyes. He was already looking at me, and that's when i realised i was checking him out. My cheeks turned red due to embarrassment.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, i-i got confused while choosing these," he said while forwarding the bouquet of beautiful tulips he was holding.
