Me And My JJ

Anaya's P.O.V

"B-but how? I donated blood, you said he needed blood and he was doing fine the other day what happened now?" I ask worried
"He's just... not doing good" he stutters
"What do you mean not good? What's wrong!?" I ask
"He's not doing good because... He's doing great!" He shouts the end part and close my eyes and thank Allah

"You lied!" I shout
"I didn't lie, I just held on to the truth for a bit" he says simply
"Well, it wasn't funny" I pout
"It kind of was" he adds

"So when can I come over?" I ask
"My family are over right now so you can come later?" He asks
"Yeah I'll come at around four ish?" I ask
"Yeah that's fine" he replies and I hang up

I take a deep breath and let it all out.
I look through my wardrobe and settle on a grey cropped sweater and black jeans. I do a smokey eye look and a dark maroon lip.
I wrap a black hijab like normal around my head and secure it with a pin. I decide to put my grey contacts in because I don't want to wear any of my glasses.

I put my grey and black chelsea boots on and then my black watch. Satisfied with how I look, I take a few selfies and mirror selfies and post a mirror selfie on my snapchat story and caption it as, 'Shopping🛍'

I walk downstairs and grab a cereal bar. When I finish my phone rings,

"Hey are you done?" He asks
"Yeah I'm just coming out" I say
"Okay" he replies and hangs up

I grab the money my mum left for me and lock the door on my way out. I see Harris stood in front of his car.
I walk over to him and give him a hug.
"Hiiiiii" I say and he smiles
"Heeeeeeeeey" he replies and I laugh
"Don't do that again" I say
"Whyyyyyyyyy?" He asks

I huff and get into the car. I put my seatbelt on and make myself comfortable.

The drive is short and quick and when we get there I jump out my seat.
"Whoa wait" Harris says and I laugh
"Hurry up!" I say and he walks towards me

We walk into the shopping centre and smile. The only place other than my bed that I feel comfortable in.

I do a bit of shopping and we get something to eat. We're just about to walk out when I stop Harris.
"Wait, I need to get some flowers" I tell Harris
"For what?" He asks tired
"Ali's dad, he's doing better" I explain
"Ugh come on" he says and I follow him as he leads me to the florists

I grab a nice bunch of roses and then I go into the card shop next door and get a nice Get Well Soon card.
"Are you done now?" Harris asks and I nod
He breathes a sigh of relief and I roll my eyes. We walk back into the car and I make myself comfortable again.

I look at the bags I've got.
"You bought so much stuff" Harris comments
"This is nothing" I say facing forwards again
"It's loads, I haven't bought this much since it was Isla's birthday" he says
"Isla?" I ask
"Oh, my little sister" he says and I nod my head

"You should meet her sometime, you'll like her" he says and I smile
"Yeah sometime" I nod my head

How would it feel to meet his family? He's met mine and even though we live next door to each other, I can't say I've seen them.

He parks up in his driveway and I sigh.
"So how was today?" I ask smiling
"It was torture" he says dramatically
"I hardly did any shopping" I say, "ask the girls and they'll tell you how torturing my shopping habit is"

He laughs and sighs,
"You really make my day you know?" He asks and puts his hand on mine
"Aww thanks" I say

We get out and I give him a hug before walking into my house. I go straight to my room and put my bags at the side. I jump on my bed and take my boots off and get my phone out my bag.

I have messages from Ali and my girls and some from Nafisah. I open up Ali's.

You can come over now - Ali
Gimme five minutes - Me

I put my boots back on and grab the card. I quickly sign it and put it in the envelope. I slip the card in the flowers and grab Fayzaan from his room.

"Where do I have to go?" He whinges sorting his shoes out as he walks down the stairs
"I need you to drop me off to the hospital" I explain as he reaches for his car keys as I'm dragging him out the door

He starts driving and huffs.
"Why didn't you just ask Harris?" He asks moodily
"Because Harris just went shopping with me and anyways, I'm going to see my ex's dad. I can't exactly ask my boyfriend to take me to see my ex boyfriend's dad" I ramble

"Wait boyfriend?" Fayzaan asks
Oh
"Harris's your boyfriend?" He asks again
"Uh yeah" I say embarrassed and he laughs
"We're here" he says and I don't waste any time

I run out the as fast as I can. I am not explaining my relationship to him.
I walk towards the room and see Ali sat in the room with his dad. I knock on the door and the both turn their heads towards me as I walk in.

"Anaya!" Uncle says and tries to get up
I put the roses and the card down on the table next to the bed and run towards him.

"No no no! Don't get up" I shout and help him lie back down
"It's fine beta I'm okay" he says , "help me up"

I help him up and make his bed comfortable.
"She's good at her job, she even does her job when she doesn't need to" Uncle laughs and so do me and Ali

"So how are you doing?" I ask
"Oh I'm doing fine beta, how are you?" He asks, "Thinking about marriage yet?"
What?
"No erm... I mean... I don't know" I stutter
"Maybe someone like... Ali?" He suggests

Huh?
