Asher's pov

"Hey Asher could you pass me that onion please?" Shiza says to me from across the kitchen island. I grab it without looking up from my phone and throw it in the direction that I think she's in. I hear and umph and a groan and find Shiza holding her head while glaring at me. My eyes widen and I look down to find the onion by her feet. "Whoops." I say while shrugging. She sighs and picks up the onion shaking her head she says, "you're an idiot."

I look back down at my phone and can't help but smile. Because right there is a picture of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Pizza. A slice of pizza. Right there infront of me. I imagine eating it in my head and continue scrolling down Facebook. Then something else catches my eye. Another beautiful thing and this ones actually human... It's my face. My beautiful gorgeous face.

"Are you looking at a picture of your self??" Shiza asks as if what I'm doing is the strangest thing ever in the world. I look up again with eyes widened, "uh yeah that's normal, go back to cooking you turd," I say while smirking.

She throws a rag at me at the same time Aunty comes in. I smirk inwardly, oh she's going to get it now.

"Shiza! I didn't raise you to throw rags at guests or more importantly your cousin!" As Shiza stands there mouth agape Aunty comes over to me and hugs me hard. Very. Very. Hard.

"Oh Asher I hope you didn't get hurt. If you did tell me right now and wallahi I'll throw my shoe at her." She says while observing my face.

"No no Aunty I'm fine," she nods and kisses my forehead. Glaring at Shiza she says, "finish that dinner young lady," before walking towards the living room, where soon I hear the music of an Arab drama come on.

Shiza glares at me and turns back to her cooking. I scroll through my phone and once again I'm drawn onto the most gorgeous being I've ever seen. Romaisa. My eyes widen and I can feel my cheeks start to burn, oh god this is so haram. But I can't help but keep looking. She's with Shiza and three girls, all laughing but the laugh that stands out the most is hers. Her face gleams with happiness that immediately makes my face turn into smiles. From this angle you can see a bit of her prosthetic leg and in my opinion I think it makes her more beautiful.

I'm so absorbed in Romaisa that I don't notice Shiza come behind me until she says, "you really like her don't you?" She calmly whispers, but it's enough to startle me. I quickly change it back to the picture of the pizza and stutter as I say, "uh yeah well uh who dosnt like pizza huh?" I gulp as she grins at me, looking right through my lies.

"Liar, we all know who I'm talking about here." She says as she puts her hands on her hips and stares me down.

I gulp again and try to think of something to say, "hey did you know the Nile river is 9027 kilometres long?" Nice Asher, smart thinking.

"It's actually 6823 kilometres long so your wrong. And your also wrong when you say you don't like Romaisa but let me tell you this Asher. Keep it halaal and do it quick before it's too late, who knows she may like you too. Remember halaal! Which means no looking at photos of her."

With that she hands me the stirring spoon and walks off. I stare at the spoon for a few seconds before turning to the pot and starting to stir.

That night as I was laying on my bed reading a book about zombies taking over the world, I heard a scream come from Shizas room. I stood up without hesitation going towards her room. Aunty was out grocery shopping, I knocked hard on her door. It opened up a second later by its self and before I could see it a shoe was flying right at me. Using my awesome man powers I dodged it....sadly those powers failed me because right then I tripped over my own feet falling to the ground.

Groaning I stared up at the face of Shiza and heard a voice say, "nice one better than that swan dive yesterday," turning my head I saw Romaisa sitting in Shiza's spinning chair while holding a magazine that covered her face.

Blushing I rose to my feet and said salaam to which she replied to without looking up from the magazine. I frowned but then quickly turned to Shiza, "why'd you scream?" I say with a bit of gruff in my voice. No I'm not trying to show my manliness off to Romaisa.

She stares at me wide eyed not saying anything and holding another shoe in her hand.

"Cat got your tongue? What happened Shiza?" I say this time worried and Romaisa off my mind until she speaks up, "she saw a spider," she says with a hint of amusement lacing her voice.

I turn my head back to Shiza as she points to the floor where the tiniest of the tiniest spider is smushed.

I sigh shaking my head, "Shiza ya Allah, you didn't have to kill the poor thing. Why didn't you just call me. You know killing tiny innocent things is bad."

After I finish Shiza shrugs and walks off to her bed, but Romaisa looks up from the magazine in a bit of shock. What did I say? Oh god is she thinking bad of me, ugh I think she is! I only lectured Shiza though! I should say sorry maybe I offended her or somethi--

"You don't know how much times I've told her that! I mean it's so sad! The tiny spider is so helpless and there she goes throwing that shoe at him!" She says while shaking her head at Shiza who in reply shrugs to.

"Yeah I know what you mean." With that I walk off all cool and everything until I slightly tumble a bit. Regaining my posture quickly I chuckle it off and speed walk back to my room. There I jump on my bed with a huge sigh.

At least I didn't fall again.

I'm so sorry this chapter was horrible, I'm truly sorry. I don't know but I just didn't have it in me and it was Asher pov too and I'm sorry.

I think I'm going to go back to writing short chapter but maybe I'll update everyday and sometimes twice a day.
