"STOP STRANGLING MY HUSBAND YOU BIG BAFOON!" I yell as I hit Laith with a cushion. He doesn't listen to me as he continues straddling Maaz's hips and choking him. "HE AINT YOUR HUSBAND YET!" Laith yells and I give him one more swing with the cushion, it's finally hard enough to force him off Maaz.

Maaz sits up gasping for air. He grins at me and says, "thanks Rainy," he turns to Laith and grabs the pillow from me. Maaz hits him a few times while saying, "you could've just made your sister a widow!!"

Laith pushes him away and says, "You aren't married yet!!"

We both glare at him really hard and he finally backs off. Laith leaves and joins Maaz's mum in the kitchen who was causally sipping tea this whole time.

I groan as I touch my hijab. "Awn man, I worked hard on this." I say with a sigh, about to head to the bathroom.

Maaz gives me a cheeky grin as I walk away, "you still look gorgeous though!" He yells out to me, I giggle (A/N I hate this word so much, but desperate times call for desperate measure) slightly before closing the door after me.

Gorgeous my butt. I look like a frikin hut!

(A/N holy guacamole that just rhymed!)

I unwrap it and start doing it again, I put the pins in securely and head out of the bathroom. Maaz has retired to the couch and is by himself watching t.v. I decide not to intrude even though I badly want to and head to Maira's room instead. She grins as she opens the door for and says, "hey Rania! Come help me pick out your wedding dress!"

"Okay," I say excitedly as we both sit down onto her bed, she grins as she brings the laptop closer to us. "I found this really cool designer, her names Romaisa Awad, and she literally makes the most gorgeous dresses!"

Maira opens up her webpage and we scroll through all the options, I have to admit, these are some beautiful designs. One of them catches my eye and I point to it at the same time Maira does, we both laugh as she clicks it open.

The dress is simple but extravagant, it's white yet has some golden touches to it, the top is beaded with diamonds and pearls and the bottom flows out like a waterfall. Maira turns to me at the same time I do and we both start nodding as she says, "I think this is the one!" We squeal really loud like teenage girls and the door to her room suddenly opens.

Maaz stands there with the most worried and confused face ever. "What happened?" He asks looking us both over, Maira turns the laptop away from his view and says, "nothing." He turns his eyes to me and I shrug.

He gives us one more skeptic look before walking out and closing the door after him. Maira grins at me and says, "let's get it!"

I nod and she says, "it says here that it's already made so if we order it right now it'll be here by tomorrow InshAllah!"

After fighting over who's going to pay for it and talking about how I blush so easily when Maaz is around I finally make my way downstairs. I go into the kitchen and find Aunty in there with Laith. Laith is on his phone as I ask Aunty if she needs help with anything.

She smiles at me and says no so I sit down beside Laith, who is rapidly texting someone on his phone and grinning like crazy. "Who are you talking to?" I ask with a smirk as he quickly shuts his phone, he stutters a bit as he says, "no one."

I'm a both to question him further when Aunty says, "did you pick out a dress yet Rania?" I nod with a grin the size of Alaska on my face.

"I'll show it to you later mama," Maira says as she comes into the kitchen. I look at the time and turn to Laith, "don't you have a class that starts in twenty minutes?" He glances at the clock and starts cursing. Aunty hits him with a wooden spoon and he mumbles sorry before saying, "can't believe I forgot! And Zermeen was just texting me about the assignment too!"

I grin and point at him accusingly, "so that's why you were blushing while texting!"

He scowls at me and changes the subject, "I have to go, so are you going home or what?"

I nod and we all say our byes, Maaz is still in the living room so I quickly pop my head in and say, "bye Maaz," he turns his head towards me and grins, "bye my love!"

I quickly shake my head to get out of the daze he put me in and smile the whole walk back to the house.

Laith leaves and I'm left in silence, I brush my dark locks away from my face. Laith's school doesn't have summer vacation so he sadly still has to go while I still have a month 'till I start mine.

This year will be my last year in graphic designing and I can't wait to get my degree. After that will be a small two month internship at a local graphic designing studio and then InshaAllah get a job there. Hopefully mine and Maaz's careers don't crash together. He is on his way of becoming a pharmacist and after our talk last night, I found out that he has his final exam in about two months.

I watch a little more of Teen Wolf that was paying on the t.v before getting my finally charged up phone and ringing Maya.

As soon as she picks up she starts screaming, I quickly interject though and yell, "just come over and I'll explain!"

She hangs up as soon as I say that and I smile to myself. She barges into my house in a matter of no time with her hair flying wildly behind her. She comes to stand in front of me and I groan trying to see the t.v around her, "move it you turd, I need to look at Dylan O'Brien's hotness!"

Her ears perk up at the sound of Dylan O'Brien and she suddenly sits down and starts swooning, "he's so hot!" She says with gazing lovingly at the screen.

After the episode ends she realizes why she came her and starts questioning me, "are you being forced to marry him or something!"

I laugh and shake my head, "no Maya, sit down," she sits down and asks, "did someone drug you?" She leans closer and starts sniffing me all around, I push her away and chuckle slightly, "nope."

Her face has confusion all over it and I decide to explain, I tell her about the whole getting lost situation and how I realized that Maaz isn't that bad.

She stills seems a bit grumpy once I finish but then she grins. "At least he's hot and smexy," she says while wiggling her eyebrows, I laugh and push her face away, "that he is." I say dreamily with a sigh.

"Is it the 'liking' stage or is it the 'loving' stage," she asks putting her feet up. I blush and mumble, "the second one...I think, well he said it first and then I was like spazzing inside and I still am because he's just so cute and I wanna like hug him really hard but I can't until on Saturday."

She smirks and says, "I think you're gonna be doing a lot more then hugging." I roll my eyes but the blush creeps up my neck.

"I'm invited to the wedding though right?" I nod and she grins, "I'll bring Zermeen too, just so we can watch Laith be uncomfortable all night!" I laugh at her evil ways and for the rest of  our time until Laith comes back home we talk about anything and everything.

As Laith comes into the living room he acknowledges Maya with a nod and she gets up to leave, I lead her to the front for and we say our byes but as she's about to leave Laith comes running with a pencil in his hand. "Wait Maya give this to your sister, she lend it to me and I uh don't want her to think I stole it or something." He says, a light tinge seeps up his neck and Maya grins while taking it, "don't worry Laith, I don't think she'll ever think that low of you." With that she leaves and Laith stands there rubbing the back of his neck while smiling to himself gently.

I roll my eyes with a smile before heading upstairs to my room. Maira texted me a few minutes ago asking if I could come with her and her sisters to go shopping for their clothes. Maaz would come too but he's going to go his own ways and get a suit.

I asked Laith and he said yeah, when I mentioned Maaz though he automatically said no. I kept at it until he finally budged.

I quickly got ready and said my Salam's to Laith before heading outside, Maaz was leaning against his car with his phone in his hands, once he spotted me though he put it away and grinned, "I'm so glad you don't take too long to get ready, I swear by the time my sisters get out her we'll both be old and wobbly." I laugh and am about to say something when the three siblings come out.

Mahum sits in front with Maaz and I squish myself in the back with Maira and Minha. "Try not to get us lost this time Maaz." I say jokingly, Maaz rolls his eyes and says, "haha very funny."

We arrive at the mall shortly and after telling Maaz to meet us at the food court in a few hours we head to the dresses. Mahum spots one she likes as soon as we enter the store and lucky for her it fits amazingly.

After an hour we've finished shopping for every thing and head to the court to wait for Maaz.

The three siblings are arguing over something and I don't bother to join in their sibling feud so I look around for any signs of Maaz. My eyes spot his red hoodie and I'm about to call him over when I notice he's talking to somebody. A girl. They look to be talking very comfortably, the girls really pretty I have to admit, with long black flowing hair and tan skin.

A slight ache rises in my chest and I try to push it away but as soon as he laughs at something she says I excuse myself to go the bathroom.

The siblings look confused at my sudden outburst but I rush away before they can say anything.

I'm such an idiot. Of course the bathroom would be where Maaz and that girl are standing. I try to turn back before he can see me but his voice calls out to me and I stop in my tracks, "Rania! Come here!" I take deep breaths before putting a smile on my face and swiftly turning around and walking towards them.

I ignore the girls presence and say, "yes?" I mentally applaud myself for keeping a cool facade, he grins at me before gesturing to the girl, "this is Lana, Lana this is my soon to be wife Rania!" I turn to her and in my head I'm hoping she's a total 'B' word just so I have an excuse to hate her but instead she gives me a huge smile and sticks her hand out for me to shake, "hello!" I nod and shake her hand back. She looks like a very enthusiastic person.

"You two are so cute together!" She says while hopping slightly and clapping her hands. Maaz chuckles and says, "thank you."

They talk for a few more minutes as I awkwardly stand there. Maybe glaring at her slightly.

After what feels like a bazillion years they finally say goodbye and she leans in to hug me, I hug her back with not as much force as she puts in hers but eh whatever.

As Maaz and I make our way back to the table, he stops me and turns his head to me giving me his full attention, I raise my eyebrows asking what happened and he smirks, "was it just me or am I sensing a hint of jealousy in the air."

I roll my eyes and say, "it's just you." I start to walk away but he grabs the end of my purse and pulls me back, "come back and talk to me baby, why are you so mad?"

I curse at my cheeks for blushing when he called me baby and cross my arms around my chest puffing a deep breath out. "I'm not mad."

"Lana is my cousin." He says smiling gently, I avoid his eyes and shrug my shoulders while saying, "okay good for her?"

He chuckles and leans in closer, "I love you," he says huskily into my ear, a slight shiver passes through my spine at his close presence but I quickly regain myself.

I push him away by the shoulders and smile, "I love me too," before walking away. I hear him laughing his deep laugh and following me to our table. His sisters eye us for a second before Maira says, "so did you find a suit?"

Maaz smirks at me but I glare back and look away, at anything but him. Okay I may be a bit mad, but I have a very valid reason.

"Yeah I did," he says to his sisters but still smiling at me, "it'll be here by tomorrow morning InshAllah."

"Are you okay Rania?" Minha whispers to me nudging my shoulder, I give her a grin and say, "just peachy."

Maaz chuckles to himself and I hold the urge to stab his hand with a fork.

---------

Later that night while I'm preparing to go to bed, I hear a few clinks at my window. I roll my eyes, knowing its Maaz and ignore it before closing the lights and getting into bed.

It comes again though and I growl, try to stuff my head under my pillow to keep the notice out, it doesn't work though and non willingly I wrap my hair up and angrily throw a scarf around my head.

I slide the window open, and growl out, "what is it?"

He stands there in all his glory wearing nothing but sweatpants that are loose around his hips, my glare turns into a face off wanting but I quickly rub a hand over my face and sigh.

He leans on his window sill and says, "you look adorable when your sleepy."

I stare at him for a few seconds, dead in the eye, he laughs and shakes his head. "You're a tough one aren't ya?"

I shrug and continue with this whole I'm not talking it you stage.

"Okay miss stubborn, I'm just going to leave then, maybe text Lana or something.." He says smirking to himself and beginning to close the window.

I gasp and finally say, "don't you dare!"

He laughs and opens it back up, "you're so hot when your possessive," he winks at me, "I like it."

I cave in and laugh which causes him to grin. "Well finally, I hate it when you're angry," he says and I shrug, "well I hate it when you talk to other girls."

He raises an eyebrow at me and says, "okay, I won't talk to any other girl except for you and my family, would that please you?" He says, his arm muscles flex as he leans his face against it.

I grin and say, "Yupp."

He chuckles and points at me, "same goes for you too Rainy," I nod and stretch my arm out in front of me, extending my pinkie out, "pinkie promise." He grins and wraps his pinkie around mine, "pinkie promise."
