The Hijabi's Convertee

chapter 28

After all that drama, we met up with the rest of the crew and had lunch together
We had more fun afterwards and called it a day

"I'll drive " Abdullah called out and we all got in to the car and I sat with Fatima in the backseat while Iqraam sat in the passenger's seat and Adam sat in the last seat

Abdullah ignited the engine and drove off

Iqraam asked to drop off before we got home saying he wanted to get something

I did wonder what he wanted get but I was in no position to ask

We got home soon and it was almost time for dinner, we prayed Sallah and Iqraam was back before we finished prayers

We had dinner and prayed Isha afterwards

--------

I was currently in my room with Fatima who was sleeping already
She fell asleep immediately after we showered

My phone rang and I looked at it, it was a message notification

I tapped on it and it was Iqraam's text
I opened and it said to come downstairs to the living room

I looked at what I was wearing, my PJs and it was okay, I picked up my hijab and made my way downstairs with my phone in hand

" As Salam alaikum" I greeted first when I reached the living room

Most of the lights were turned off, only a lamp was turned on making the lighting dim,everyone must have gone to bed

" Wa alaikumus Salam" Iqraam replied

" How's your shoulder" Iqraam asked

" My shoulder?" I asked back holding my hurting shoulder subconsciously

"Yes, how long did you think you can hide it" Iqraam said

"Hide what, I'm not hiding anything " I said blinking rapidly and looking everywhere, avoiding his gaze

"You're terrible at lying" Iqraam said and I pursed my lips knowing there was nothing to hide anymore

" Fine it's hurting but I didn't want you guys to worry " I said

"Don't you think we'll worry more if it worsened"Iqraam said

"It would go away after some rest" I said in a reassuring tone

"Really? Do you think you're some kind of  super human?" Iqraam asked with a brow raised

"Take this "  he added stretching out his hand, there was a few cold packs in it

I looked at his face and he motioned for me to take it but I didn't

Why was he being so nice to me?

Does he not know I could misunderstand his actions?

And maybe I'm already starting to or already did
All in all, he's leading me on without knowing what he's doing

"Iqraam" I called out

"Yes" Iqraam answered

"Why are you being nice to me ?" I asked voicing out the question in my heart

"Because I want to" he replied

" Don't you think I will misunderstand your actions or take your kindness for another feeling?" I asked again

"You can do both" Iqraam said with a smile leaving me confused

" What does that mean?" I asked

" The exact meaning " he replied

My eyes widened at his words and my heartbeat increased
