Part 5 : It All Starts With One Touch

For the next few weeks, only one thing stuck to Nayla's head like paper stuck to the wall.. Mr. J . When ever she had music, she'd be the first in class and the last to leave. He always had the same aftershave on, the same stylish messed up hair, and smile on his face whenever he saw Nayla. Even though some of the other girls with in her class had a "school-girl" crush on him, he'd always have his eyes on Nayla.They'd always talk about what music she was into, what his thoughts were, and their everyday lives. She was finally letting some in, and actually..start to smile. She had somebody she could open up to no matter what , and would be considered as an equal. She hadn't opened like this ever since Mariam's passing...




She even made her personal project about composing her own music album. She took every chance she could , just to be near him, and feel his presence . They'd talk for hours and hours on the phone, until they both fell asleep, or at least one of them did, it'd always be Nayla first, and all J would do is listen to her soft deep breaths as she slept peacefully, the first time she had in months . Even her own mother begin to see a change in her. No matter what it was, she was happy to see her daughter gradually become herself again and thanking god for it every single day . She was starting eating well, spending more time with her mother , and getting better grades. Life couldn't have been any better..





During one of those late night phone calls, something surfaced up..





Mr. J: Nayla Babe





Nayla: Yea doll..





Mr. J : I need to ask you something, it's been on my mind for a while..





Nayla: Sure, what's up ?





Mr. J : Are we ever ganna go out on a real date ?...





At that moment, She felt he heart stop. She was speechless, she didn't know what to say, even though it's something she's been wanting for a while, she never expected him to be the person to make the first move..



Nayla: " I'am glad you brought it up.. I've been wanting to ask you the same thing for a while... "



Mr.J: " Phewwww ! that's a relief, I was scared of things going awkward ! "



Nayla "with her signature giggle that made Mr. J melt at heart" : Hahahah, Chillax babe, it'll happen soon enough.. "



Mr. J : " What are you doing tomorrow ?... "



Nayla: " I'm spending it with you ! "



Mr. J : " Your unpredictable, you know that ? "



Nayla: " What else is new !? "



They went on talking about it for a while and deciding that they'd spend the afternoon to evening having a romantic walk with dinner later at the beach. She'd tell her mom she was working on her personal project, and she'd phone her at least once every hour just so she'd stop worrying as all moms do. They finally finished up one of their many romantic calls, with their sweet kisses over the phone and closed the phone. Nayla was so excited that she could barely sleep , a million thoughts ran through her head .


" What am I ganna wear ?, What should I talk about? Should I get him something ? etc...etc...etc" 


The questions and thoughts kept rushing and rushing, but one thing was for sure... She couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.
