From the side of my eyes I could see Harris gazing at me. I had an attack of collywobbles whilst my heart skipped a beat. I looked at him, he quickly turned his head away. He looked different today, in a good way of course. He looked more.. hot?

Harris wore a white shirt covered with a red blazer that he left open and black skinny jeans which had ripped patches on. He wore a black bandana that couldn't really be seen since his hair covered it. To top it off he had a pair of shades on.

Naz wore a black a shirt, black trousers and a white blazer. Adam wore a peach shirt under his beige suit. He had a white bandana on to prevent his pink hair from falling onto his face. Both of them wore shades too. Silento wore a black suit on top of a white shirt.

Harris' pov:

"Adam Saleh and Anaya Tawfeeq?" A man in a long white thobe approached us with a huge smile printed on his face.

"Yeah?" They both replied in unison.

"Attabaeani" he said to all of us and we did as we were told.
Follow me.

"Hadhih hi tawilatuk" he told us, pointing at the table.
This is your table.

"Shukraan" Adam and Anaya said in unison again.
Thank you.

"Jinx!" Adam screamed which made a few people stare and laugh.

As we all sat down, three girls were on stage performing. I didn't know who they were but their voices were amazing, not as amazing as Anaya's though. Once they had finished a few other people did their performances before they gave out the awards.

"No way!" Anaya burst out with laughter.

"I had the exact same reaction" Silento replied, also laughing too.

"What's so funny?" I asked them, feeling a little left out.

"Nothing."

"No go on, tell me" I responded firmly and raised an eyebrow unconsciously.

A man who was stood on stage and tried to get everyone's attention interrupted the conversation. He started talking about some random stuff - I wasn't really listening.

Adam's pov:

"This next recipient is playing in bridging cultures and boundaries between the west and the Middle East and also teaching people in US and the west to teach Arabic so Jacob this Special Ambassador award goes to Adam Saleh."
Not to boast but from the start we all knew he was talking about me.

I hugged Naz, Harris, Silento, Anaya and Rumejsa after they congratulated me and walked towards to the stage with my pink head held high. It was the first award I've ever won. The second I laid my eyes on the award, shivers ran through my body and I could feel the goosebumps starting to form on my skin. I was hoping they would allow me to give a speech but unfortunately they didn't.

"The next award is for a young British-Arab female who successfully grew herself on social media platforms influencing both, Western Asia and Northwestern Europe. So this best female entertainer award goes to Anaya Tawfeeq!" The host declared.

"That's you! Congrats!" Harris yelled and embraced her warmly. Aw aren't those two so cute.

She ran onto the stage to receive her award, the excitement clearly showed on her face. I congratulated her and she said the same back since we both won an award!

After all of the awards were given out, it was finally time to perform. I gave Naz my camera to blog it and I think Anaya gave her camera to Rumejsa. Everyone got up from their seats and gathered directly in front of the stage to watch our performance. No pressure, no pressure at all..

"You ready?" Harris asked us.

"Why wouldn't we be?!" me and Silento fist-bumped.

"No!" Anaya paced behind the stage.

Harris walked up to her to.. relax her nerves? I'm guessing. They spoke really quietly so none of us knew what was being said.

Anaya's pov:

"Give me your hand" Harris commanded.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"I ain't gonna do anything booky" he laughed and held out his hand.

I placed my hand on his for him to let go.

"Look at your hand it's shaky. It needs to go from this to.." he rested his right hand on top of mine and his left hand beneath it, like a sandwich. "..to this" he smiled and moved his hands. I noticed that my hands stopped shaking and I felt calm.

"Thanks" I looked at my hand then at Harris and laughed.

"You'll do great, I know it" he gave a reassuring smile.

"How do you do it?" I said with a sigh.

"Do what?" He questioned.

"Calm me down so easily. Like earlier today, you somehow placated me and right now you've made me less nervous and by the way, that's like impossible, even for my mum. But somehow you did when I've barely even known you for two weeks."

"I don't know" Harris shook his head.

"Give it up for Harris J!" We heard Adam present.

"Break a leg!" I wished him luck before he went on stage, forcing a smile "and, erm, thanks again."

"No worries" he tapped my arm before running onto stage for his part.

Silento approached me, he leaned on the wall beside me and kept me company whilst we waited for our parts of the performance. He had a live personality. It was fun talking to him, he's hilarious and sweet and he knows how to keep the conversation going.

Harris introduced me onto the stage. Seeing that I didn't have any songs of my own, I sang One Dance by Drake. It actually went really well, thank god for Harris calming me down beforehand. After I covered Drake's song, I introduced Silento onto the stage where he sang two of his songs, Watch Me and Dessert. We all joined in on the chorus and that turned out to be a lot of fun.

"I was right" Harris randomly nudged me with a slight smirk on his face.

"What?" I looked up from my phone.

"Before the performance I told you that you'd do great, right?" he reminded me.

"Yeah and.."

"You slayed it!" he swung his arms open in exaggeration.

As my hair wasn't out and I had a headscarf on, I flicked my scarf and thanked him.

"I'm sorry I can't drop you off home. Adam and Naz are being a little overprotective about me going back to the hotel alone" his eyebrows furrowed.

"Don't even worry about it" I laughed at how the littlest things would worry him. It was kind of cute.

"It's dark. Just be careful" Harris gently locked his fingers into mine.

"I've got Rumejsa with me and we'll be dropped off by an uber. I'm sure we'll be fine" I giggled.

"Text me when you get home?"

"Yeah" I agreed and got into the uber.

"Bye!" Rumejsa shut the door.

"See ya" I couldn't actually hear what he said, instead I read his lips and waved back.

A/N. I wrote this really fast and didn't have time to check if there's any mistakes so I'm sorry for any errors. Plus, I wrote a few things in Arabic cause in my mind that's how they spoke to each other. But I put the translation underneath in brackets. I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter. Don't forget to vote and comment what you think is going to happen. Thank you 💞
