Reunited in L.A

Chapter Nine : Some things aren't meant to be...

Malika's P.O.V

It's the next morning.

Zara and I woke up still laying on the coach, Trying to find my phone, to find it was still in my pocket. It was 7 already. I layed back sighing. for the past few days I feel like I'm in a dream. I mean how could this be real. How am I in L.A.... I mean I know HOW but it just doesn't feel...right? I don't know I'm just being selfish. I want to go back to when everything was simple and the only problem I would face is my mum shouting at me if I brushed my teeth or not. Or if my dad...

Shaking my head as I hear my mum.

"Girls breakfast is ready!" Mum shouted from the kitchen.

"Mum we are just going to get changed real quick!" I responded. Waking up Zara.

"Come on Zara. Get up." Poking her shoulder.

"UHH leave me alone Malika, I wanna sleep" Groaning, turning around. still sleeping.

"Come on Zee, It's 7" Still poking her.

"Exactly. Who in their right minds wakes up at 7 when its summer. And stop poking!" She exclaimed.

"Uh Me." Rolling my eyes. I finally stopped poking her.

"Yeah. You're a weird one." Laughing one eye opened.

"Yeah you're right I am weird, but that's why you love me." leaning near her face.

"That I do." Blowing a kiss, winking too.

I laughed at that. "So are you getting up or do I have to splash water at you like last time." Smirking.

"I'm up. Gosh. Jeez Im up, okay?" Quickly rushing up stairs didn't want that to happen again. Laughing. I followed her up.

Ten minutes later we're changed and ready for the day ahead.

"Hi Mum, good morning!" Entering the kitchen with Zara behind me.

I went over to mum and kissed her cheek.

"Hey sweetie." Pouring a glass of orange juice and smiling.

"Good morning Mrs May!" Zara smiling and hugging my mum.

"Good morning sweetheart!" Laughing, hugging her back.

"So mum when do you start work?" I ask while I took a seat at the table.

"Honey I start work at 9, I have to leave in a bit " looking tired.

"Okay well you eat!" Handing over a plate of fresh pancakes.

It's now 8 and my mum is about to leave the house.

"Hey girls, I might come home a bit late again, so make sure to come back home at 10 no later, got it" looking serious.

"Okay mum don't worry, just have a good day! I love you!" kissing her cheek.

"Okay Zara, Malika bye girls, be good!" getting into the car and driving off.

I turn to look at Zara.

"Hey Zara I am going to call a uber, so we can go shopping" taking my phone out and smiling at her.

"Okay cool, you call an uber and I'II get our bags." smiling and walking back into the house.

I finished calling a uber and I see Jonah walking out of his front door.

"Hey Jonah!" he then notices and walks towards me with a smile.
