We woke up around 2:00pm. That's the lastest we ever sleep. Usually we wake up around 8:00am because I prepare Isma'el breakfast while he get ready for work.
"Asmah is breakfast ready?" Isma'el shouts from the bedroom.
"Almost" I shout back. For breakfast I'm cooking pancakes ,saugages, and eggs.
"Asmah pick up the phone your friend is calling"
I pick up the phone.
"As Salamu Alaykum" I say.
"Wa laykum Wa salam sugar plup" shamsia excitedly say in the phone.
"Shamsia what are you so excited about?" I ask now excited.
"Okay so my dad just gave me $200 dollars in cash for no odd reason. He was just like 'Hey shamsia here's some money use it wisely'. I was like OMG!! Thank you Thank you! He just was like 'okay'. So I want you to come with me on a shopping spree. We can use this money to buy whatever"
"Okay so did you invite lulu, hayanna, fatimah too?" I ask as I flip the pancake.
"Lulu is at her grandma. Hayanna is at her cousin house. Fatimah is with her husband on their honeymoon. I called them but they all declined. So I was hoping you wasn't busy"
"I'm not busy but I just woke up so I'll have to call later when I'm ready"
"Alrighty then As Salamu Alaykum sugar poo"
"Wa laykum Wa salam" I chuckle.
I put the phone back on the hook and take the pancake out the skillet. I put two pancakes, two saugages, and an egg. I pour syrup on his pancakes and take his plate to him.
"Isma'el here's your food" I say coming into the bedroom where he was on his laptop.
"Thanks"
"Isma'el are we doing anything today?" I ask sitting on the bed.
"No. Do you want to do something?" He put a piece of pancake in his mouth.
"Well, shamsaa just called me and wants me to go shopping with her. Is that okay?" I ask nervously.
"Only if you don't come home late"
"Okay. I'll try to be in before maghrib comes in" I get off the bed and kiss his cheek. Then go back into the kitchen to eat my breakfast.

"Isma'el did you see my phone?" I ask looking under the bed.
"It's in the living on the coffee table"
"Oh, thanks" I run into the living room and take it off the charger. I put on my gym shoes and go back into the bedroom to get my purse.
"Asmah what's the big hurry" he ask looking at me as i put my phone in my purse.
"Shamsia comes too early when she picks people up so I'm hurrying to get ready" I say fix my hijab in the dresser mirror.
"Asmah just calm down baby" when I'm done fixing my hijab he pulls me to sit on his lap.
"Isma'el I need to go"
"Calm down" he squeeze me a little then he kiss my cheek.
"Can I get up now?"
"If you don't rush"
"Okay I won't" I get up and slowly walk out the room.
"Asmah I'll know if you run" he calls after me.
