Bayan Ameer

"You're so annoying." I told Omar while we were laying on the couch. We just finished watching Creed and he was making fun of the way I was staring at Michael B. Jordan. What can I say? I love me some Michael.

Omar just continued to laugh at my reaction which made me laugh too. Okay his smile is really growing on me. We have been spending a lot of time with each other lately and I like it. He really is a cool person to be around when you want  just to laugh or smile.

He also has a way of making me feel less stressed about everything, like nothing else really matters.
He's nothing like I thought he was when I first met him. He's the complete opposite, he's nice, funny also very handsome. As cheesy as it may sound, he's really growing on me. Suddenly he gave me a weird look as he caught me staring at him.

"Why are you staring at me? Do I have something on my face? Oh man I knew I should've shaved this morning." He panicked covering his unshaven stubble.

I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction, yup he's a keeper. "No," I said with a laugh. "Wow since when are you self conscious?" I wondered. He's always confident like he doesn't care what anyone thinks about him which is another quality of his that I've grown to admire. "I-I don't know."He replied nervously.

"Aw, do I make you nervous!?" I couldn't help but grin at him. "No." He said unconvincingly. He's so cute when he's embarrassed! "Aw you're so adorable." I cooed pinching his cheeks like a little kid when they're around their crush. He quickly swatted my hands away as if he's embarrassed.

"Hey I'm not adorable. Anyways I've been meaning to tell you that I'm going to Florida the day after tomorrow. It's Aisha's kindergarten graduation and I want you to be there. Do you want to come with me?" He asked as he rocked back and forth with his feet. Go to Florida? I immediately started jumping around in excitement. I never left Detroit before! I also have no school for a whole week. This is perfect!

"Yes! Oh my god I am so excited! How many days are we staying!?" I asked all in one breath. He started laughing at my reaction. "Five days. I'm so happy that you want to come along. You know part of me was scared you would say no and I'd have to go solo." He replied with a smirk. "Why would I say no? I get to go to a beautiful state and spend some time with my-" I quickly stopped myself mid sentence. I never actually said the words my husband in front of him. I guess it just makes me nervous.

Sometimes it still shocks me that I even have a husband, especially one like him.

"Your what?" He asked teasingly.
