Seeing

chapter 3

Nadirah's POV

The walk to Maxine's didn't take long. We entered the restaurant the smell taking over me. Even though this was a cafe they had a breakfast, lunch, and a dinner menu. It made me love the place even more than I should have. A waiter took us to our seats and we ordered our drinks. We both got chocolate milk and a muffin to share while waiting for our food. "So how did you to meet?" she asked. "Who me and Zayn?" she shook her head while stuffing a chunk of muffin in her mouth. "Well it started when I was at a party over the summer"

"No I don't wanna go" I wined "Well your gonna anyways I don't want to see you spending your summer over books and tea. You need to get out there and show that sexy body" she winked. This was Bri my close friend that I spent all high school year with. She knew everything about me and understood me. "Fuck you." I looked at her with daring eyes. "Finally I could get your lazy ass out of the house" I threw a pillow at her causing her to laugh. I got up from the couch and hoped in the shower. I washed my hair with my flower scented shampoo and conditioner. When I got out I did my makeup giving my hair some time to dry. I applied the right shade of concealer and a touch of blush. I called Bri in to do my eyes. That was her specialty she was very talented in makeup. She did a purple Smokey eye so the black and purple could contras with my natural light brown eye color. She then applied a perfectly done winged eyeliner to the top and a bit at the waterline on the bottom. She brought a mirror to me and I was speechless. "Bri I.. I don't know what to say" "A thank you would be nice" I looked at her "I'm just kidding babe you look so hot though" I blushed "Why thank you" I plugged in my curling iron and went to change. I opened the door to my room and saw a black lace dress that was above the knee up to my mid thigh. The dress was all black covering my body leaving my collarbone and shoulders exposed. It was breath taking but I couldn't except. "BRI GET YOUR ASS IN HERE" I yelled. A minute later she was leaning against my doorframe with an eyeliner stick in her hand "What" "Did you leave this on my bed" I said pointing to the lace dress. "Yeah why I bought it for you when we went to the mall last Saturday" I looked at her with a soft smile I averted my eyes to the ground "Bri I can't take this it's beautiful it really is, but it isn't for my body" When I looked up her jaw was on the ground. She walked over to me and she grabbed my for arms and she looked me straight in the eyes "N you can't be serious. You have the most perfect body I have ever seen you cannot not take advantage of that. Now put it on or else I'm taking all your books away." Just the letter b got me in the dress in less than twenty seconds. It took her a minute to realize that I was in the dress. I turned to face the mirror and it wasn't me. It was my reflection. It was looking back at me. Haunting me telling me this was not right that I wasn't beautiful and that this dress wasn't made for me. I took it off immediately. "I can't do this" I could feel the hot tears beginning to form. I ran to the bathroom on the verge of crying but I didn't want to mess up my makeup. Bri knocked on the door "Can I come in" I opened the door for her and she came in giving me a hug. "Can you please put the dress on for me. Just for tonight that is all I ever wanted is for you to be confident. I don't know why you don't see that but you are you really are and you need to show other people you are. I love you a lot and you need to show people how truly perfect you are." At this point I didn't care about the make up the tears where coming down with love and care for the words my best friend had just spilled to me. "Okay I guess one night wouldn't hurt" I smiled and went back in the room and put it on. I took another look in the mirror and talked to myself ."Now you listen to me. Tonight is going to be my night and you cannot ruin it for me. I feel beautiful and confident and I don't want you coming in and fucking things up for me okay. I am doing things not only for myself but for Bri." "NADIRAH COME ON WE GOTTA GO" I gave myself one more reassuring look. "For tonight"

When we got to the house Bri and I got separated. Her friends took her away and I didn't know what to do so I just headed to the kitchen. The speakers where playing good music. I could feel the vibes of the music igniting me.I started to hum thetune of the soft music. "Nice song your singing."I looked next to me and there stood this fairly attractive eyes that were a mix of gold and green. His hair was pulled back by a beanie. He gave me the "fuck off I'm my own person" look. He had everything. From the leather jacket to the black boots. " Yeah it's a nice tune" I said. "I'm Zayn I live a few blocks down. The host of this party and I are really good mates." I was getting distracted by his lips "Oh um.. Hi I'm Nadirah and yeah my friend dragged my down here I don't really know anyone so I just came here." He smiled. Oh my. "Well I saw you getting a drink and I wanted to tell you that you are a very beautiful person..." He stopped and looked at me "Oh it didn't mean to come out that way... Uh I wanted to know if you would like to go out sometime." There was a slight pause until I replied. "Well Zayn its only 11 and we have all night to chat by 1 I'll let you know what I think" I walked over to the couch. The whole night we chatted and talked about music and life.

"And later on we went on dates and got more closer to the point that he asked me out, which was like three weeks ago." I looked at Emily. "I want a fairytale like that." "Your funny, but I have so many stories from childhood days to present days." I laughed. By now we had finished our breakfast and was getting ready to pay and leave. Before we got up we heard the ring of the bell door open. Emily and I both studied our eyes to the people walking through the door. First came in a tall guy with curly hair and a headscarf on along with a jumper that said "Obsession" on it with black ripped jeans and dark boots. Then came in a short guy he had brown hair swept to the right and black vans with a jeans jacket on. Lastly the last man came in and I recognized him surprisingly. He was the man that came in the library that day.
