Discovering Me

Chapter 4-Reflection

 I wake up to the smell of scrambled eggs, tomatoes,cheese and lots of herbs, my favourite!

"Reya" I called still half asleep knowing she woke up early to read her prayer why hadn't she woke me up.

"Did you pray?"

"Good morning, love, yeah why are you asking?" 

"You didn't wake me up!"

"I did, you told me to get lost!"

"Anyways, get ready I made breakfast!"

As I was getting ready ,I kept thinking about that boy, wasn't he too young to be drinking, wasn't he a Muslim, then I realised there were good and bad people everywhere and people did make mistakes yet I still Wanted to ask Reya.

We had breakfast outside, on the balcony, Reya was going on and on and on about the after part last night.

"Did you see the picture?! Can you believe it Donatella Versace and Bruno Mars!"

"So the blond one was Donatella Versace?"

"Yes" she replied clearly annoyed at me for not knowing her name but nevertheless she carried on.

"....me and Bruno Mars even exchanged numbers, he wanted me to design his next tour costumes , he loved the show ..... Versace gave me so much praise I died 10 time OMG! It was amazing!!!!" She went on and on and on barely breathing.

I reminded her her soft boiled egg was getting cold, only then did she stop taking and had her breakfast ,once she finished her egg and soldiers she reached for her fruit smoothie, how she drank that was still a mystery to me.

"So did you see Harris or Armaan?" I asked , my voice laced with jealousy, I didn't even like him or maybe I was in denial.

She scrunched her face something she did when she was confused , she took a sip.

"Oh, I saw Harris but not Armaan, he was in a really bad state, completely wasted, you were right I shouldn't have invited him"

"We should cancel" I said.

"No" she blurted without missing a beat.

I remembered Armaan ,I should give him a chance atleast, and maybe I didn't see Harris with that girl, although that boy was definitely Harris.

"When are we going the?" I asked

"Well I promised dinner, seeing as they'd be heading back to London late at night , I should text Armaan for around 7" she said as she took her phone out.

"YOU EXCHANGED NUMBERS?!" I screamed

"We'll he gave me his not exactly an exchange, calm down!" 

We started getting ready at four while having a mini dance party to all our favourite songs which was mostly Queen B, 5H and Little Mix and T SWIZZLE!!

We painted each others nails, Reya did both of ours Make-up, she told me it was natural looking even though she used atleast 20 Charlotte Tilbury products, we looked perfect for our last minute dinner reservations at Indego By Vineet, we then picked our outfits after trying on about 20.

As always Reya was the right amount of bold and muted , she wore her short hair in a semi-messy bun she wore a distressed grean kaftan and a black embroidered shawl with white linen trousers, she gave off this rugged cool vibe, someone Armaan would be perfect with.

I looked at myself in the full length mirror and a beautiful girl smiled back, my curly light brown hair was let loose, my curls bounced as I looked at myself from different angles ,my freckles were on display ,even all that  makeup couldn't cover them up, my small mouth was painted a soft pink, and my big grey eyes were staring back at me.

Reya looked back at me her dimples on full display,and her dark almond shaped eyes sparkled as she looked at me, I gave her a hug and started tearing up.

"No,no,no , your mascara, lean back and fan yourself, we don't want black streaks on your gorgeous face darling!"

"Let's call a cab" she said.

HARRIS'S PoV

I still had a headache from last night, did I drink anything, I don't remember , I felt weird ,I hated being out of control which I think is what happened last night. Armaan told me I passed out so he had to pick me up from the after party. I shouldn't have trusted Adam, he always got me into this shit!

Still can't believe I was peer pressured into drinking,I was always the level headed guy.

And I had a double date with Diya, Reya and Armaan.

I remember seeing Reya, at the party had she told Diya I didn't know, hopefully not, I couldn't stop thinking about her, she was so beautiful, I would hate to lose her, I don't know if it was love or lust but it felt good.

"Are you ready ,Man?" Called Armaan from the kitchen

"Yeah, uh let me just wear my uh blazer, should I wear a suit?" I called back

"Yeah you'll look fine" 

So I washed up ,put my suit on and started styling my hair, hair gel was key, then I brushed it back trying to make it somewhat natural, but my hair always sprang back to its annoyingly natural mess, I should've gotten a haircut!

I got dressed and headed to the kitchen , Armaan was cooking up a storm.

"What's cooking?" I asked

"French toast, your favourite and hash brown and egg and soldiers, my favourite!"

"Mate, you alright?"he asked

"Yeah, yeah ,just a headache"

"Last night?"

"Yeah" I replied

"Shouldn't have trusted Adam" I continued bitterly

"I've had breakfast, you have yours"

I finished my breakfast, trying my best to get over my headache.

"You ready mate?"

"Yeah" considering Armaan was three years younger than me, he was so mature and responsible , I thought it would've been different once I reached twenty, guess not.

"Should I get the car started" I continued.

"Go ahead" he said as he tried to get his Armani loafers on.

I headed out, got the car started and waited. I checked my phone, 5 calls from Yusha, I texted him.

Me: What's going on? Missin your big bro are you?

Yusha: Missing u bro forgot u existed

Me: don't worry im coming home to remind u
