Waiting on the wonderkid

Chapter 4

Waking up, I remembered yesterday's events and the smile crept back onto my face.
I moved my hand around my bedside table in search for my iPhone. Once I held it in my hands I pressed the button to reveal the time & instead of checking the time, my eye caught a text message that was displayed on my lock screen. I swiped the screen, unlocking my phone, to read the full message.
'Adnan😍💕👌: Good morning Hannah, I hope you're well. Sorry I text you so early, I couldn't sleep. Would you like to do something today?xx'

I think my heart just stopped beating, he's just asked me if I want to do something today... AHHHH!
I hadn't realised that I screamed aloud until Saaed came running through my door.
"What happened?" He panicked.
I gave him a shy look "um, nothing sorry," I mentally face palmed.
"Then why the hell did you scream?" He was clearly annoyed. Oops.
"Um...-" contemplating whether or not to make up a more suitable excuse.... Forget it, "um, Adnan asked me to hang out today," I gave him a sheepish grin.
"Hannah! Couldn't the screaming wait until I was awake!"
"I'm sorry," I felt stupid, "I hadn't realised that I screamed out loud until you came through the door!" I couldn't help but laugh. I could see that Saeed was trying to keep a straight face but he was cracking and seconds later he was laughing with me.
"We're going to Ahk's match today Han," he reminded me.
Adnan wants to hang out... But then it's Ahmed's match and I never miss his matches unless it's serious. This is serious but I know that it's a stupid reason because it isn't a serious issue that would be counted for. An idea came to me and I shot my tall brother, who was now stood leaning against the door, a look.
"Yes he can join us there but tell him to cover up if he doesn't want to be seen," Saeed confirmed.
Awww, my brother didn't even know Adnan but he cared and I think it was due to the fact that I am absolutely in love with the boy and I've met him and I have his number in my phone and we talk. Wow I need to calm down.
"Right, I'll ask him now," I eagerly tapped my phone.
'Good morning Adnan😄 I'm good thank you and how are you? It's no problem, how come you couldn't sleep? And I'd love too but I've got my brother's football match today sorry. But Saeed said you're more than welcome to join us. However, if you do decide to come he said cover up if you don't want to be seen😂 xx'

My phone buzzed almost instantly.
'Adnan😍💕👌: that's good to hear😘 and I'm great thank you. Had a few things on my mind and yes I would love to come! Where shall I meet you?xx'
Happiness washed over me. Adnan was actually joining us at Ahmed's match. I can't believe it. It's going to take me a while to get over this/used to this or maybe I won't. We'll just have to wait and find out.
I text Adnan our address, figuring it would be better for him to leave his car outside our house so he can just tag a long with us.

I chose my clothes before jumping into the shower. A red floral knee-length dress, with black leggings and red flats. After getting dressed, I applied waterproof mascara, top & bottom eye liner and red lipstick.
Running down the stairs, Ahmed was tying his laces.
"Oolala someone looks nice," Ahmed teased.
"Are you saying I don't look nice every other day?" Raising my eyebrow I checked my phone as it buzzed.
'Adnan😍💕👌: outside xx'
Ahmed didn't know how to respond and you could tell by the look on his face. "I'm just kidding Akh," I laughed. "Adnan's outside, I'll see you in the car," I waved on my way out.
"You look beautiful Han," Ahmed called out behind me.
"Thanks Ahk!" I yelled before closing the door.

Adnan was stood leaning against the driver door of his red Range Rover, the car was hot but Adnan was even hotter. I could feel myself becoming nervous and anxious and I then spent the time it took me walking over too him trying to stop myself from having a panic attack.
I looked up to see him smiling down at me. Adnan was quite a lot taller than me, I'm only 5'3 and Adnan's around 6ft.
"Hey," I smiled as he pulled me in for a hug.
"Hey, you look beautiful," he whispered in my ear, causing me to blush.
"Thanks," I blushed, "your glasses look classy," I laughed.
"Oh it looks even better when my hood is pulled up, just wait," he laughed along with me.
Ahmed & Saeed walked out of the house and over to greet Adnan. They were talking about something on their way out.
They said their 'hey bro's' and bro hugged before entering Saeed's silver Mercedes.
Adnan was sat in the passenger's seat with Ahmed and I in the back, discussing what we were going to have for food. Typical us. Saeed and Adnan spent majority of the time talking about cars before the four of us became engaged in a conversation about where we would want to go on holiday.

We pulled up into the car park besides the football pitches that were filling up with people. Adnan pulled his hood over his head and re-positioned his sunglasses as we got out of the car.

"So Adnan, what's it like being the new number 11?" Saeed questioned.
"It's good you know, I'm happy that Ryan chose me as the new number 11, he's a legend and there's so much I've learnt from him and continue to learn from him," his voice sounded comfortable.
Wow, this boy has only been around us a few hours and we haven't even got to known each other completely yet but he seems comfortable around us and that's even better.
Saeed pretended to wipe a tear from his eye "someone pass me a tissue," he joked.
I pushed his arm and let out a small laugh "stop it,'' turning to Adnan "that's cute, I love Giggsy," I agreed.
"You also love the new number 11," Saeed coughed causing me to slap him on the shoulder.
"Actually I've loved Adnan since he was 44," I clarified.
"She's a true fan," Saeed winked at Adnan.
"I think I embarrass myself enough, there's no need for you to do it too."
"But where's the fun in that," he pouted.
"At least she's been a fan of me since the beginning," Adnan admitted as he laughed at what Saeed and I were doing.

There was no excitement in the first half which meant Ahmed's team had to make rapid improvement in the second half.
One of his team mates was running down the field with the ball but he soon became trapped by two of the opposing players, he passed the ball to another team mate before that one sent the ball out wide to Ahmed who kicked it straight into the net.
"GO ON AHMED!" Saeed & I cheered as Adnan enjoyed the goal.

The match ended 3-1 to Ahmed's team. 1 goal from Ahmed & two from his best friend Youssef.

"Well done lads," Saeed cheered the two boys.
"That was a good match," Adnan congratulated.
"You two are my favourite in the team did I ever tell you?" This made them laugh.
We introduced Youssef to Adnan before he had to go home and he was as shocked as I was.

"Great match Ahmed, you're very talented," a voice spoke.
"Thanks mate," Ahmed said as he shook the boy's hand.
"Ah Hannah, when are you going to go on a date with me?" The voice spoke again. It was Ryan.
Ryan and Ahmed are friends from college and although Ryan has a girlfriend, he still likes to hit on me.
"How bout never?" Sending him a smile, I turned around and pulled Adnan and Saeed from their arms.
"Don't like him?" Adnan laughed when we reached the car.
"He makes my skin crawl."

We reached home 10 minutes later.
"Would you like to come in?" I asked Adnan as we got out.
"I've got to get home sorry but tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow sounds great, thanks for coming today," I was genuinely happy he came today.
"Thank you for inviting me, I had fun," he laughed as he removed his hood and sunglasses "I'll see you tomorrow," he wrapped his arms around me before getting into his car.
I stood outside until he was halfway down the street.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

Let me know what you think😘
