At the moment Nurah was doing pretty good. She and Zayn were on settled terms which made her happy. Their friendship has actually been going really good. She has learned a lot about him and she is certain that he has picked up on some things about her too because he liked to ask a bunch of questions about her life. Nurah of course told him what he wanted to know. Even finding herself having butterflies when he would coo at her hobbies and her embarrassing secrets. But then remembering that they were just friends.

"Aren't I the luckiest girl on this earth to have you Nurah," Isabella sighed, a bit of sarcasm in her voice as she sipped on her water.

"You're being sarcastic," Nurah pointed out rolling her eyes with a soft giggle.

"Yeah I know," the dark haired girl admitted with a shirt shrug.

"How much did you even drink last night?" Nurah asked, looking down at her journal to write a few more lyrics down. She had been working on this song and the words were flowing so easily to her. It was one of those songs that was natural and came to her without it being a struggle to put stuff together. But she was listening to Isabella at the same time too.

Isabella burped softly, "A lot."

"You have to be careful babe. I don't want you to get alcohol poising," Nurah says closing her journal and looking at her friend in a serious tone.

"Thanks for expressing your concern for me," Isabella smiled at her softly and reached out to grab her hand. "It means a lot."

"Anytime," Nurah squeezed her hand and gave her a soft smile. In the corner of her eye she saw a familiar face which made her turn her head a little bit. Next thing you know Zayn appeared with a smile on his face. And just seeing him smiling made her smile too.

"Hey Nurah," Zayn greeted her with a little wave.

"Hi Zayn," Nurah greeted warmly and once she felt her hand being squeezed she looked at Isabella, who had that certain look on her face that said 'who the fuck is this guy?' loud and clear.

"Hi I'm Zayn," he says introducing himself to the girl that was with Nurah, shaking her hand.

"Isabella," she said back.

"Cool, so are you and Nurah friends?" Zayn asked looking between the two of them.

"Nah, we're strangers," Isabella remarked sarcastically as she rolled her eyes and sipped on her water.

"Okay," Zayn awkwardly coughed as he scratched his the back of his head, then darting his attention to Nurah. "So um how you been?"

"Good, you?" She spoke looking at him. His eyes literally sparkled and looked so pretty when him out in the sun, and also his skin looked so perfect as well. Almost so flawless and—fuck Nurah. Snap out of it! She thought to herself

"Good. There's this festival this Sunday if you're interested in going with me," he asserted in smoothly.

"A festival?" She grew a bit excited. "Really?"

"Yeah, it happens on the first Sunday of the month and um yeah. Just wondering if you like to go..um with me?" He stammered over his words, trying his hardest not to make it sound like a date but he was just generally nervous because he was just trying to suppress his feelings that he still had for her.

"Well that sounds cool. So duh, I'm in," Nurah smiled brightly at him.

"Can you two like date already?" Isabella blurted out with an annoyed groan looking between the two of them with a bored look on her face. Nurah's head snapped to her her direction, and she also got kicked by Nurah underneath the table which only made her laugh. "What? Don't kick me. He's likes you. Can you not tell or are you just blind?"

"Isabella..shut up," Nurah gritted through a smile but real life wanting to choke her. She then looked at Zayn who was nervously fiddling with his rings on his fingers. "Sorry, it's the hangover talking at the moment. My friend had too much to drink and now it's getting—ow bitch!" Nurah then held her shin from getting kicked by Isabella who only snickered.

Zayn cleared his throat, "Um..we're just friends Isabella."

"Mmh," she sung rolling her eyes once more, not believing it one bit.

That's when it grew a bit awkward between Nurah and Zayn—well not for Isabella. She really wasn't in it and didn't care if she made it awkward because she thought that it was completely obvious that they liked each other. Isabella could just feel it in the air the moment he came over. She noticed how sweaty Nurah's hand got and how shy Zayn was when he was practically asking her out. Isabella might be hungover but she wasn't dumb. She knew that they liked each other whether they wanted to admit it or not. And if neither of them wanted to put it out there then she might as well be that bitch to do it then.

"Well I'll see you you two around sometime," Zayn says after a few second of awkward silent.

"Yeah for sure," Nurah smiled softly before she gave him a shy wave. "Bye Zayn."

"Bye Nurah's future boyfriend!" Isabella also added in, waving obnoxiously as the guy walked off.

"Shut the fuck up," Nurah hissed.

"Um bye?" Zayn heard exactly what he said and sent her a wave but he quickly turned the corner.

The moment Zayn was long gone Nurah gave Isabella a death glare who was simply laughing her ass off like it was funny, but it wasn't funny. Nurah's hands were sweating, her heart was pounding out of her chest, and her nerves were all over the place. And while she was about to have a slight meltdown Isabella was still laughing at the situation.

"I will reach over this table and choke the hell out of you Isabella," Nurah threatened pointing a finger at her.

"Cool I wouldn't mind since I have a kink for that baby," Isabella says sending her a wink.

"You're unbelievable," Nurah scoffed rolled her eyes. "How could you just say stuff like that? You made it so fuckin' awkward."

"So? Don't act like you don't want Zayn to choke you," Isabella smirks, and then gasps when she saw Nurah's blushing. "Oh my god! You do want him to choke you!"

Nurah put her face in her hands, and mumbled, "Shut the hell up."

"I heard that the shyest girls are the more freakiest," Isabella kept on teasing.

"Shut up and keep your voice down," Nurah hissed looking around them to see that like five people were actually looking at them strangely.

Isabella laid back in her chair, a smug smirk on her face, "And so it's true."

"I'm not talking to you ever again," Nurah huffed as got up from her chair, also grabbing her journal and her purse.

"That's lie. You love all of this," Isabella stated cockily while he wiggled her eyebrows at her flushed friend.

"If it makes you sleep at night," the milk honey toned beauty rolled her eyes and began walking.

"What will make me sleep at night if y'all would just date," Isabella stated out flatly.

Nurah didn't even want to argue. So she stayed quiet before she found herself reconsidering what she wanted to have with Zayn that was more than just a friendship.
