Chapter nine(9) the date

They reached Cafe L'Buggattti and he escorted her up the place was simply amazing and they were only a few people not more than three precisely at the far end they saw Adyan who was focused on his phone Kaltoom was taken back she almost drool staring at him he looked so handsome

He lift his head and his eyes fell on kaltoom he was almost ogling at her he and Farouk greeted and Farouk left kaltoom in the care of Adyan
"Have a sit!... he said calmly "Um thanks" they exchanged stares and butterflies where forming under the pit of Kaltoom's stomach she started fidgeting with the ring on her pinky finger she was nervous
Adyan wasn't any better he has never been on a date he didn't know what to do he looked up at her and their eyes locked Kaltoom immediately looked away
"So how are you doing? Adyan asked
"I'm good alhamdulilah...
"You look great... never saw this pretty side of you! He said sarcastically "You too.. she simply replied giving him a smirk
"Good so what would you wanna order? The menu's right in front on you"
She took the menu and place her order, cinnamon muffin and a pack of pineapple fruit juice then she looked at Adyan and asked what he wanted "a cup of coffee would do. He simply said she rolled her eye and their order was delivered "you really have sweet tooth who eats like this? He asked "yeah I do.. she smiled and started eating her food "so what do you think of this date?he asked

she almost choke on her muffin then cleared her throat and spoke softly

"it's weird.. i never dreamt of going on a date with youuuuu.... but here I am and yeah I'm doing this for my friend she wanted it"

Adyan let out a chuckle "me too.. "

then why didn't you say no she's your younger sis? Kaltoom asked
"Well somehow my dad got involved they were once business partners with your dad and they are also friends so you see he thought it was a good idea" she formed an "o" with her mouth then spoke "so what now? " well I guess you can tell them you don't like me they'll understand" he said looking at her hopefully

"why would i do that? You do it I don't want to seem like the bad one" she said nonchalantly Adyan rub his forehead she was been such a baby "I can't object to my dads suggestion I've never done it and I like someone else" he said

Kaltoom dropped her glass and looked at him "seriously that's your problem I don't care" she said.
The rest of the date went on like that they only talked a bit
Farouk wasn't back still so Adyan offered to take her home they went down and he picked some stuffs from the supermarket for her then drove her home she invited him inside and he went he met her mom she was the only one around then the workers who were busy with their work
She was a very nice woman like his mom they bought refreshments for him which he barely touched he made to leave and Mrs Fatima asked Kaltoom to escort him
"I don't know what to do about this... he said
"Me neither... she replied with an eye roll
He sighed he has been doing that a lot since this afternoon "alright then bye! He said annoyed and left Kaltoom went back inside and opened the supermarket bags they bought showing her mom
They were a lot of expensive perfumes and chocolates inside, then a set of Oriflames products which included body cream, spray, roll on hair oil and cream and others
Her mom was happy as she kept smiling she wished them well

" Noooo Ammi I'm not really into this guy, I don't know about collecting gifts from him.." Kaltoom told her mom with a worried face

"Then why did you agree to go out with him?

"Because his sister insisted his mom also want this Ammi can you imagine even his dad said yes to this" Kaltoom rant

"Ohh really then tell me what you don't like about him" she asked
"His just so full of himself" she replied with a pout
Her mom gave her a side hug and assured her everything would be fine they continued to gist untill it was magrib Mrs Fatima asked her to call Adyan and ask how he reached home Kaltoom won't give in and her mom had to force her till she agreed,
Then went up to her room with a long face making a mental note to call Mr. Ego as soon as she was done with her prayer
