Found home in you

9: CAN I CALL THIS A DATE?

Mehnaz's pov:

We were playing with the flowers when Zaisha and Amir decided to throw the whole basket of flowers at me...

I went behind without looking back and slipped...the sudden fall made me shut my eyes close...

I felt someone catch me and I held them tight, with fear that I might fall....

I opened my eyes to find a pair of eyes which Im familiar with...
...ZAHIL...

He is still holding me....

"Chachaaaaa come play with us" Ami baby's voice made us break our eye contact,and i stood up straight getting out of his hold...

"We'll play some other time oky!"
Zahil assured her...

"Mehnaz, we have to go get the printed cards tomorrow morning"
He informed me and I nodded a yes..

I looked the time and it was 7:30
I have to go now to reach home by 9pm..
"Sir can I go home?the flowers and decorations are changed,my work for today is done"
I asked for permission.

He also nodded a yes and I started packing my things and changed myself from Aysha's clothes...
Aysha has been busy because people are coming to see her since she is the bride...
Tomorrow she has Booked an appointment for hair and face spa.

I was on my way to the front door after bidding bye's to everyone..
I'm happy that I bonded with the family quickly...

Ami baby was sad as I was leaving
she asked me to stay and play with her...I made her understand that I'll come tomorrow..

"Mehnaz,how will you go back home?"
Zahil's dad questioned me when I was about to open the front door
"Uncle, I'll go by bus".
I replied,
"But beta(child),it will be late when you reach back..why don't you ask Zahil to drop you?"

Hearing this my eyes widened..
why am I happy hearing his name??..

"Bayya must be busy bawa,I'll drop her"
Amir spoke making me come out of my delusion...

"It's okay.. I'll go by myself, I'm used to travelling alone by bus".
I tried to assure them but I was interrupted..

"I'm free and I'm on my way to meet someone there"
Zahil spoke as he was descending from the stairs...
His voice and presence made my heart beats quick and I also felt peace.

"Great,Zahil beta drop Mehnaz on the way..it's late and she insists on going by bus."
Zainaba aunty spoke which made Zahil look at me,his eyes spoke some kind of anger.

"Okay ammi"
Zahil replied instantly making
the family surprised..
He looked at me and walked out.
I waved everyone bye and followed him..

He opened his car door for me...
What has gotten into him?.. acting like a gentelmen now..I thought to myself as I sat inside,he moved forward to his side and settled himself in..
We started going...

I don't know why but he has been eyeing me since he started driving....
I touched my face thinking something was on it...

Zahil's pov:

I've been eyeing her since I started the car because she hasn't wore the seatbelt...
She is so careless,how am I gonna deal with her...?
I'm not planning to speak with her... she got so comfortable with Amir who she just met today..
I agree he's my brother,but still...

I'm controlling the speed because she hasn't wore the seatbelt yet..
"Seatbelt"
I mentioned.. and her lips formed an O...
she started to pull it out and struggled with it..
..This girl is going to be the death of me I swear...
