EVERY  ACT  OF  KINDNESS  IS  CHARITY

~~~~~~~~

"Zaraaaaaaa wake uppppppp" I wake up to the sound of a whinging Kaisar and I groan
"Leave me alone" I grumble but he throws a pillow at my head

"We're leaving in an hour, get up!" He says and I nod my head before sitting up in my bed
He walks back into the kitchen closing my door behind him
I look over to my phone on my bedside table and see the folded paper next to it

I didn't really get a chance to text or even save Harris's number because I was so tired last night.
I reach over for my phone and the piece of paper.
I save his number and decide to text him

Me: So, your favourite song?

I put my phone on my bed and freshen up and join my family for some breakfast. I make myself a cup of tea before sitting at the table with them.
"How did you find yesterday then?" My dad asks
"I loved it, I felt so accomplished" I grin
"I think you did amazing" my mum says
"I wish you could stay with me" I pout
"You'll see us soon for Kaisar's wedding and for when we meet his wife too" My dad reminds me and I smile

"Right, we're gonna have to leave now to miss the lunchtime traffic" Kaisar grabs his car keys and I give them all a hug before they leave with their suitcases.
I look around at the mess before getting stuck in and cleaning everything.
I clean the guest bedrooms and then my own before finally picking out an outfit.

I sit on my bed and stare at my wardrobe, I have no idea what to wear.
Today I was meant to go see Adam and Slim because they're leaving for America tomorrow and I won't see them for god knows how long.

I notice my phone and pick it up to see a couple of messages including one from Harris.

Harris: A Whole New World

Me: Is it really?😂

Harris: It really is. Why you laughing at me??

Me: I just didn't expect it

Harris: So are you a fan of Aladdin?

Me: I am and A Whole New World is my favourite song from it, but I haven't seen the new movie yet

Harris: You wanna see it with me?

Me: Are you asking me to go with you?

Harris; I mean, only if you want to

Hold up, is he asking me on a date?
Like just me and him? This his literally never happened to me before I have no clue as to what to say

Me: I'd like that

Harris: Thursday at 2pm?

Me: Sounds great

I put my phone down and smile to myself, I feel like a high school girl with a crush.
I finally pick out an outfit, deciding to go with a pair of black jeans, a mauve floral blouse, a black chiffon hijab and a pair of black sandals. I do a simple makeup look, adding a pop of mauve on my eyelids to match my top. I grab my phone and shove it in my bag and grab my keys before walking out towards the bus station.

My phone buzzes;

Adam🤡: How far are you from the mall?

Me: I've just got on the bus give me five minutes x

The bus comes to a stop in front of the shopping centre and I get off and walk towards Adam and Slim when I see them stood at the entrance.
"Hey" I greet giving them both a hug
"How you feeling after last night?" Slim asks as we walk into Selfridges
"I'm so happy, not for myself but for my family too if that makes sense?" Adam nods, "I'm just glad they were all there to see it with me"

"Aren't you just a cutie patootie?" Adam gushes and it makes it so much more annoying with his American accent
"So what's going on with you and Harris?" Slim asks looking at a pair of jeans
"What do you mean what's going on with me and Harris?" I ask dumbfounded

Of course I know what he's talking about but is it really that obvious?

"Oh come off it Zara, it's kinda obvious" Adam gives me a look
"I don't know what you want me to tell you" I shrug and they both roll their eyes

At this point they know they're not gonna get an answer so they don't really press on the topic any further.

A couple of hours and around 30 shops later, we're sat at a table waiting for our food
"So what's the plan for the next few days before the products hit the shops?" Slim rubs his hands together

"Well erm... there's kind of something but you're gonna make a big deal about it..." I'm stuttering because I'm unsure about whether they're gonna go share this information with Harris and to be honest I don't want him to know
"Please tell us!"
"You don't know the next time you'll see us!"

"You're literally begging" I shake my head
"You can't blame us, you're our sister and we deserve to know" Adam argues and I sigh

"Okay basically Harris asked me out to go watch Aladdin with him on Thursday" I smile a sheepish smile
Their eyes widen and they look at each other,
"Like as a date?" Slim asks and I shrug
"It's a date" Adam confirms nodding his head

"It's so not a date, shut up" I look away shyly
"Do you like him?!" Slim shouts a little too loud because we're getting a few stares from people
"Why don't you just tell the whole world?" I say sarcastically and Slim snickers

"So do you like him?" Adam repeats
"I don't know if I like him, I just find him cute and I want to get to know him better" I explain, "but who knows? Maybe I will"

We sit in a moment of silence before Slims speaks up as the immature little boy he is,
"You guys are gonna make such cute babies!"

I just laugh at his comment and roll my eyes, although that is true, we would make cute babies.
