Ah nature! What a beautiful sight!
Getting to play with Brie. Talking to Christina
Laughing, giggling, running.
But there was something that tugged on my heart, hard.
Hard enough for me to come back early.
Seeing all the girls playing with their moms
God! I hate myself I honestly do.
I shouldn't be jealous of the little girls, I'm a grown up
An almost adult.
I should be mature.
I shouldn't be crying for my mom. What is wrong with me?
Will Allah not like me for being jealous of the young girls?
I think while climbing the stairs
Sighing, I enter my room and change into my pajamas.
The comfort!
I run downstairs while I'm humming tunes to myself, running to the kitchen, opening the fridge, searching for food.
Notice how I often I use the word run?
Yeah I actually mean unattractive fast walking.
There is tons of food but....I'm bored. Great!
"Hey Usman, you wanna play UNO" I shout from downstairs and he pokes his head out of his room
"I have a maths test tomorrow. Goodbye" and then he slams his door shut. Then it opens again
"What's 22+20" he says and I laugh
"You're asking me? I can't do maths if my life depended on it" he sighs in defeat but I quickly add
"It's 42 by the way. Basic maths", he glares at me before shutting his door again
Maybe I can call Mason. Yup. That's good
"Hey! We still have like 4 hours to kill and I don't know what to do. So do you wanna come over? We could watch a movie or something?"
Wait, he isn't going to think I'm asking him on a casual date or something?
Because I'm not
"Sounds great" he says and hangs up
Darn my stupid over thinking nonsensical brain!
Of course he doesn't think so.
Within five minutes the doorbell rings.
Really? Now I have to get up and straighten my leg and walk up to the door and twist the doorknob, let him in with a smile.
So much muscle work
Not that I wasn't aware of the consequences when I called him.
I should've lost a lot of weight yet here I am, looking like a meatloaf.
Anyway, get yourself up!
"Woah. You're fast" I say
"What can I say. I'm the flash" he says, extending his arm like Barry Allen
"I love those comics" I state, getting the handsome Barry Allen out of my mind and staring at the one which is in front of me
I just called him handsome, didn't I?
"Me too"
"So which movie do you wanna watch" Mason asks me.
So we're jumping right in?
No 'hey how are you'
'Yes I'm fine Mason'
K. Cool
"Not quite sure. What do you say?" I ask him.
"I don't know"
"Well let's say the name of the first movie that comes to our minds"
I suggest.
"Okay"
"A walk to remember" we both say at the same time but of course I am quick and say jinx, to which he rolls his eyes.
How does he always know what I'm thinking or going to say?
Are we connected in some way?
Obviously I didn't say that out loud
Or did I?
I'll never know
"But you really watch such cheesy movies?"
I love such movies although I never cry during them but I would appreciate if he says yes because not every guy is supposed to have an ego and pretend like they don't like such movies when they actually do.
Shame on those who created such standards for guys!
