Mutuals

[19]

AS  WE  GROW  UP,  WE  LEARN  NOT  TO  TRUST  ANYONE  BUT  ALLAH  ALONE

"You're gonna see him again today?" Adam asks on the other line
"He asked to see me and I couldn't say no!" I reason
"Hey! I'm not against you and him together, I'm totally for it" I roll my eyes at his reply

"We're not gonna get together!" At least I didn't think he did
"I haven't spoken to him but I can?" He suggests
"He just sees me as a friend and I do too, there's nothing to talk about" I sigh and I can feel him roll his eyes
"Well if you're going to be impossible, I suggest you go and get ready for your date with you friend" he emphasises
"Well I think I will" I reply and say goodbye

I put my phone down and rush into my bedroom.
I grab my favourite pair of pinstripe mom jeans and a black long sleeved bodysuit. I do a quick simple makeup look and wrap a black hijab around my head. I slip on a pair of vans like the basic bitch I am and reach for my bag but there's a knock at my door.

I know it's Harris because he's literally the only person who knocks on my door. I grab my bag and make my way to the door.
"You could've just waited in the car, you don't have to come up" I smile as we start walking down to his car
"I mean it's a bit careless if I don't come and get you isn't it?" He opens the door for me and closes it once I've sat inside

"You're such a gentleman" I comment
"Isn't that a good thing?" He asks and I nod my head
"Never said it was a bad thing" I reply and he chuckles
He starts driving and he's going somewhere really weird so I speak up,
"Are you planning on killing me?"
"Why would you think that?" He asks mindlessly
"You're taking me to the woods" I reply bluntly
"Don't ruin the surprise, just wait and see" he taps my leg slightly and butterflies erupt in my stomach

Seriously, what is up with me?!

He brings the car to a stop and gets out. He comes around and opens the door for me so I get out.
"I don't know if I should be scared?" I say in a questioning manner
"Trust me I wouldn't put you in danger"

Okay my heart just melted

I look around and see that he's brought me to what looks like a posh block of apartments that belongs to someone like Tom Holland which I wouldn't mind because he's really cute.

He holds out his hand and me being the absolute weirdo that I am, just looks at it.
"I'm pretty sure you don't know where you're going so hold my hand" he says and I blush

That was a very stupid move on my side to be honest

I take hold of his hands and I try not to show the complete happiness on my face. He takes me around to the back of the apartment building.
"Wait are we sneaking in?" I ask and he shushes me
"I'm glad you brought your vans and not your usual heels" he whispers and I roll my eyes
"Follow me and don't speak"

And again I roll my eyes at his commands, because I don't follow commands but I will in this case because he's really cute.
We sneak in through the back door and up a flight of stairs. We walk down a long corridor but come to a stop when we hear a couple of people coming from around the corner.
He drags me into the nearest door which is a storage cupboard. We wait for the people to go past and sign a huge sign of relief when they walk past us.

"That was close" I say turning my head towards him and realise how close we were
"Yeah that was close" he breathes, sending shivers down my spine

Being in situations like this with the guy you like should be illegal. I clear my throat and he snaps out of it.
"We should go" he says and I nod my head in agreement

I open the door and check to see the coast is clear before walking out, and Harris follows.
"Where next?" I ask completely lost
He takes my hand again and leads me to the end where there's a fire exit.
He opens the door and lets me through first and then closes it behind him.
"Up the stairs?" I ask and he nods his head
"Mind the step" he says making sure I'm being careful

Once I get to the top he makes me stop,
"Let me go first"
I nod my head and let him through
"Okay so don't laugh at me but I found this place one night and I've been coming here recently" he explains and I nod my head even though he can't see me

Once he moves out from in front of me, I get why he comes here often
"This is so sick!" I comment looking around

I have never seen the city from this view before and it definitely looks better from up here
"It's so peaceful" I say and he hums in response
"How did you find this roof? And why the posh buildings rooftop out of all the rooftops there are?" I ask and he shrugs with a smile

"I wrote my first song here" he says sitting down on a nearby stone
"You've written a song?" I ask sitting next to him
"Yeah but I'm not sure about it" he admits
"Can I hear it?" I ask and he shakes his head

Wow that just happened
He really just rejected me?

"You can be the first one to hear it once it's ready" he puts his hand on mind for reassurance
"So you've decided you want to sing?"
He nods his head,
"It's the best way for me to express myself"

We sit in silence and then I realise how beautiful the night is because we're watching the sun go down and he's holding my hand.
I wish I could stay here forever
