calling

Hey babe.

Hey, are you outside? Isn't it freezing?

Yea, but I'm sleeping in the living room and they're all still running around.

Oh. When you said no privacy you meant no privacy.

I did, babe.
You ok?

Yes, fine. We just haven't talked in a while and we haven't even texted that much.

I miss you, too, babe, don't look like that.

Like what?

Dunno. Sad.

I am a bit. I think I'll leave here on the 16th. I should be able to leave at least. That's not even a month.

Sounds good. You going straight to your mum's?

Yes, don't think she'll accept me going to Manchester first. But I should be able to come up before Christmas for a day or two. And you're coming to mum's after, right?

Sure, if you want me to.

Of course I do.

How long are you staying in England for?

Probably till after New Years.
How are you spending yours?

Usually I go out with mates. But it's not even December we haven't made any plans yet.

We could spend it together?

Of course. Don't you have anywhere to be though?

I could but I don't have to. I'd before spending it with you. Gemma is throwing a party probably, we could go to that.

Sure, we'll see.

You gonna talk to Safaa tomorrow?

Yea, I'm taking her out a bit, I think. Just need to figure out where. We'll see.
She always likes when we do stuff just the two of us, so we'll make a day outta it.

I bet she loves hanging with her big brother.

Yea.
Babes, you got a weird look on your face, what is it?

Nothing, I just miss you.

Don't flip out, babe, but have you considered moving to London? You keep saying how much you miss Gemma and Anne—

And you.

— sure, and me. And you do have the money to just fly to the US if you need to plus I think you said you could do your work here.

I guess. I just like living here actually. There's just more here, somehow, I don't know. Maybe just because of work.
And the weather is nicer.

I'm not saying you should, I just don't quite get why you're in the US when you look miserable half the time because you miss your family.

It's not that bad. It's just been a bit worse because of you.
Like, not like that, that was poorly worded.

I understand.

Bhai! Aao chale!

I have been summoned.
We'll talk tomorrow or Sunday, yea babe?

Okay, love you.

Love you, too. Have a good afternoon.

I don't speak Urdu and google is not as helpful as I'd like it to be 😔
If you do, please tell me if I fucked up, thank you. (I could have just switched it to English but I am stubborn, sorry)
