The Muslim Criminal

Chapter 55 - Pause the Plans

I wake up to see Ayaan sleeping on the sofa. While frowning I get out of bed making sure I don't wake Yusra up then go to the bathroom to read wudhu. After I'm done I walk over to Ayaan. I nudge his arm and he swats it away. I shove his arm and he wakes up.

"Time to read Fajr"
He nods then gets up to the bathroom. We start praying and I wait for him to finish his du'aas.

"Why were you on the sofa?"
"You two sleep like animals. Yusra kicks me then your hand slaps me. I swear I've got bruises. I couldn't take no more so I slept on the sofa"
I hide a laugh.
"Not funny. I'm so tired" he says then walks to the sofa.
"Sleep on the bed, I'll be on the sofa"
"Why?"
"Because you've had your turn. Now it's mine"

He'll sleep better on the bed.

He shrugs then goes to the bed while I get comfy on the sofa.

When I wake up again it's because of Yusra squealing and laughing. I get off the sofa and brush my teeth then see her annoying Ayaan. Poor guy looks so sleepy. I take her outside leaving Ayaan to sleep in.

We eat out breakfast then I go back to our room.
Ayaan is still sleeping so I decide to wake him up. I sit next to the side of his body and shake him arm. I have a habit of waking him up like that.

He moves his arm to turn over but instead makes me fall on him by taking my waist with him. How on earth? I get out of his grip and shake his arm again.
"Wake up Ayaan" I say
He takes my hand and pulls me close.

"You're such a horrible waker" he frowns. I stare at his face taking in how cute he looks.
He smiles lazily making me gain focus.

"You're a deep sleeper"
"You're supposed to wake me up nicely, instead you make my arm move like a fish out of water"
"How would you like to be woken up then oh wise Ayaan"
"Well I would like you to sit closer" he moves my waist closer making me eyes widen
"And come closer" he pulls my shoulders closer. My heartbeat increases rapidly
His hand goes to cup the side of my face.
"Then place a nice kiss on my..." he says quietly while looking at my lips.

I gulp as he comes closer.
I move back and he looks questioningly. I smirk.
"You have morning breath"
He sighs making me laugh.
"Well at least mine's only morning breath, your's lasts all day" he huffs and I look at him in shock. He smirks so I punch his arm making him whine. He then tackles me on the bed and tickles me.

"S-stop!" I breath
He gets out of the bed while grinning then goes to the bathroom. I get off then get changed and fix my scarf. He comes out and fixes the bed.

He walks towards me.
"You know. If I didn't know better then I'd think you're actually.... willing now" he smiles.
"It's a good thing you don't know better" I smirk. He looks in surprise and grins.
Before he can do anything I stop him.
"Ayaan, breakfast is getting cold" I rush out the door.
He comes downstairs and glares at me as I give his breakfast. I give him a smile instead.

After he eats I start washing the plates up. I thought he left the room but that changes when I felt his arms around me.
"Get off. I'm trying to wash up"
"So wash up. Who's stopping you?"
"You are" I elbow his stomach which has no effect on him.

He puts his chin on my shoulder making me feel heat on my body and my heartbeat to increase.
"Ayaan, l-let go. I'm finished"
He lets go but doesn't move. I turn and notice the proximity.

I look up to see him smirking so I roll my eyes. I shove him out of the way and walk out of the room.

Everyone's in the living room, Ibrahim and Yusra are playing and Ammi is reading a book. I enter the room and sit next to Yusra. She looks at me and smiles brightly then gives me a toy car to play with her.
