Ruqayyah's POV
I've been going out with the girls everyday for three days straight. Tomorrow they will be catching the plane back to Spain so we spent the whole day out today and we are arriving home a little past midnight.
We arrive at the doorsteps of my house as we laugh at some nonsense that Ilyass said. He decided to come out with us today since it was the girls' last day here. At least he brought more fun and we enjoyed ourselves. I just need to be surrounded by friends and I'll be fine.
"Ilyass, just shut up and leave already." Zeinab says as she managed to stop laughing.
"Girls we have to be quiet," Bianca says because my parents and Khadija are sleeping by now. I called my mum half an hour ago telling her she could go to sleep since we would be home soon, or else she wouldn't. We weren't inside the house yet, but we were outside and I had opened the door already.
"So now that you lot are home and safe, the gentleman can also return back home." Ilyass says playfully.
Everyone looks at Zeinab as she turns her head, looking around for something.
"What are you looking for?" I ask.
"The gentleman he's talking about." Zeinab says and the girls laugh.
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood, so Imma let you be." Ilyass responds.
"Pff as if," She mocks as she types on her phone, "Here, what you asked for?" She hands her phone to Ilyass and he takes his phone out to copy something that was on Zeinab's phone.
Dina and Bianca look at me and I just shrug. I have no idea what was going on, but it seemed like she just gave him a number. Who's number? I don't know. But it didn't seem like hers.
After saying goodbye to Ilyass, we enter my house.

"Leave me alone already." Zeinab pretends a sleepy voice.
Dina, Aisha and Zeinab had finished praying Fajr and they are now back in bed. Dina insists on knowing who's number Zeinab had given to Ilyass, but Zeinab won't say single word about it.
Bianca is texting on her phone, completely oblivious to what is going on around her. She wakes up at the same time as us just to see us pray. Even though I wasn't praying yet, I also woke up and stayed in bed.
"Who's 'My Love'?" Zeinab asks as she reads Bianca's screen.
"What?" Bianca brings her phone to her chest, hiding the screen.
"Who's 'My love'?" Zeinab repeats her question.
"Why should I answer your question when you won't tell us what's going on between you and Ilyass?" Bianca uses the only card she had and Zeinab sighs as she covers herself with the blanket and Bianca goes back to her phone.

"Zeinab!" Aisha yells her name since she was the only one left to come watch the movie with us. We were all in the living room watching a movie. Or we were going to watch a movie. But Zeinab had gone for about twenty minutes to the bathroom and still hasn't came back yet.
"I'm coming!" Zeinab yells back sounding irritated and we finally see her walking to us. She throws herself on the couch, sitting next to Aisha who seemed to know what's going on with Zeinab.
"What's wrong with you now?" Dina rolls her eyes.
"Nothing. Play the movie." Zeinab shrugs.
"What were you doing for twenty whole minutes in the bathroom?" Dina asks.
