Meeting Myles ✔️ [COMPLETED]

55

A few days later

"Are you gonna wear your hijab" Atiyah asks fiddling with the wire of my straighter
"Yeah because I don't really want to have to do my hair, plus it's kinda greasy" I say and she nods her head

I tie my hair up in a bun and start on my makeup. I ended up doing sparkly eyes and a nude lip.
I tie a champagne coloured hijab on my head and then slip on the heels I wore at prom.

"Atiyah hurry up" I say as she curls the last strand of hair
"Okay done" she says standing up and taking her phone from me

Hey, you here? - Me

I'm outside x - Jam🍓

"He's here, come on" I say and she follows me out the house
I see Jamaal's car waiting on the opposite side of the road.

I sit in the back with Atiyah before Jamaal drives off.
"I really hope this works" I say nervously
"Yeah it's the last thing we can do now" Jamaal replies

Atiyah squeezes my hand with encouragement and I smile at her gratefully.
"Come on" Jamaal says as he pulls up infront of Myles's house

I get out of the car and sort my dress out and then me and Atiyah follow him into the house.
The living room is filled with fairly lights and all the furniture had been moved out. There's a table with food and then speakers with music on.

"Where is everyone?" I ask
"Ash took Myles out so we can sort everything out for the party" Jam explains turning the lights low so that the fairy lights sparkle more

"You guys can sit down" Jam says pointing to the chairs around the table
"You don't need any help?" I ask and she shakes his head
"I can't let you do dirty work when you're both in gorgeous dresses" he smiles and me and Atiyah both chuckle

"Why thank you" Atiyah thanks and we both sit down
"I'm fully shitting it" I whisper to her
"You'll be fine just try to do everything you did at prom and see if he reacts to anything" she suggests

I take a huge breath and nod my head,
"Okay"

A few moments later the door opens and Ash walks in with Mus and Myles.
"This is sick!" Mus exclaims and does a little handshake with Jam, as does Ash

"Ayyyyy Amina" Ash smiles elongating my name
"Hi" I hug him returning the smile
"Looking gorgeous as always" he smirks wiggling his eyebrows teasingly
"Thank you" I laugh lightly before sitting back down only to be dragged off my chair by Jam

"It's a party you're meant to dance!" He says twirling me around as I roll my eyes
"Okay okay" I say and joking Atiyah as we dance to the music

After a while I get bored of dancing so I leave Atiyah to dance while I sit at the table and much on crisps
"You don't like the party?" I hear Myles's voice through the loud crunching of crisps between my teeth

"No it's good" I say giving him a general smile
He just nods his head at my sucky reply which obviously shows he wanted to start a conversation

To be honest though, I can't. Not now because it's just reminding me of what he can't remember and it's shit, you know?

"See you later" I smile getting up and walking up the stairs cautiously trying not to trip over my dress and heels
I walk into the bathroom and sit down on the toilet seat after putting it down. I put my head in my hands and try to relax myself.

Why couldn't things have just carried on as before?
Why did Myles have to hit me?

To be honest I don't even think that's a big thing anymore, I just care about him remembering everything and all that we had

I still remember that day at prom when I was in a mood and accidentally told Myles I liked him

"I came to see you in the hospital everyday and the doctors told me you could hear me so I talked and talked for hours hoping you'd wake up. One day Jam pointed out that I was making time for me to see you instead of spending time in the studio. It hit me then Amina. I realised that I liked you and I had liked you ever since I first saw you" he explains and my heart stops

I was so shocked but my heart was bursting at the same time. I just couldn't believe that someone like Myles liked me.

And then the day we went shopping and he was being such a goof with the silly wig and glasses. We ended up taking photos at the photobooth and I still have them somewhere in bedroom

We get into the booth and there isn't much space so he pulls me into his lap

"Hey" I squeal and slap his shoulder lightly
"We gotta take pictures" he says putting his hands around my waist and I laugh a little

I sigh getting up and flushing the toilet to make it sound like I actually did come to the bathroom and not anywhere else. I wash my hands and try them with a towel and unlock the door.

I turn the corner to see Myles stood there concentrated on his phone. This was the time I took to properly investigate what he was wearing

He was a wearing a pair of black tapered trousers and a white shirt. His tie was burgundy, as was his beautifully fitted blazer. His hair was styled as it always is; short, cute curls and the whole outfit was finished off with a pair of black brogues.

"Amina" he calls when I attempt to walk past him
"Yeah?" I smile

"I need to tell you something" he says with a goofy smile

Don't tell me he has a girlfriend

"What is it?" I ask not really sure if I want to know, if my conscious has anything to do with it
He looks me straight in the eye and takes a huge breath and then turns his head slowly breathing out

"Myles?" I ask looking at him a little concerned

Is he alright?

He looks at me again and takes hold of my arms,

Fuck me this is weird

"I remember" he simply lets out
"Remember what?" I ask cluelessly

He lets go of me and puts his hands in his trouser pockets,
"I spent so much time at the hospital. With you. It hit me then Amina. I liked you, I liked you so much..."

My heart stops and I have to hold onto the railing to make sure I don't fall

He was back

"...and I still do"
