I turned around and looked at the clock, it's 9am and I'm still lying in bed. I groaned at myself and stood up to take a shower.

“How did I sleep so much knowing that there's work to do?” I say to myself mentally.

Turning around I saw my 10year old sister Meelah sleeping peacefully. "I'd wake you up when I finish taking my shower" I say heading to the bathroom and took a 30mins shower.

"Meelah!!!" I said patting her back

"What??" She snapped back. This girl is so rude!

"Wake up its almost 10am and you know we have to give a helping hand down stairs" I said making my way to the closet!

I turned to looked at her again she's sitting and dozing up again "Meelah you better wake up before I pour water on you" I chuckled knowing how much she hates that.

"Ohhh! I'm up Leenah" she say standing up abruptly.

"Better" I whispered!

We have to make arrangements for my Sister's wedding that's in a week time. I'm like her best friend and have to be in charge of almost everything.

After much staring into my closet I finally pulled out a mint green fitted gown that Fits me perfectly!

I applied a little make up and and decided to call my man Ameer

Yes! I do have a man!

"Hey baby" I yelled over the phone

"Hi cutie, do you have to yell" he say calmly.

"Sorry, why didn't you call me? I over slept today totally forgetting about Aleeya's wedding arrangements" I said pouting

"I was busy! How're you?"

"I am fine, how's work hope you've eaten?" I ask concerned

"Yes baby I have, now go give a helping hand I have to go, make sure you eat! Bye!"

"Alright hun, take care" with that, he hung up.

I then decided to text my best friend she needs to be here, I can't do all what's expected of me alone!

"Hey girl! Why and how are you still not here? You know I can't do all this without you... be here soon please!"

I sent the message, kept the phone and headed downstairs I saw mum in the living room having some talks with 2 of Aleeya's friends. I walked into the living room and pecked mum on her cheeks

"Greetings mum, how're you?"

"I'm fine dear, you're up late"

"Yes mum, I didn't sleep early" I said smiling

"Okay go get something to eat and help with some things" with that she headed towards Dad's room... guess she's done talking to Aleeya's friends

I turned and muttered Hi to Aleeya's friends

"Hi Leenah, you look gorgeous" they all said in unison

"Thank you and you guys also look awesome" I said with a wink

"By the way where's Aleeya?" They asked

"Ohh you guys didn't even see her?" I asked acting surprised

"Yes" They all retorted

Hearing their response, I headed to her room and saw she her with Juliet

spa girl

I walked in and ran towards Aleeya engulfing her into a hug "hey ugly sis" I say teasingly.

"Hey monkey" she say eyeing me

I smiled and pulled Juliet's cheeks "hiii mamasita"

"Arrgg! Leenah, you like disturbing people" she say focusing in what she’s doing.

I just smiled and let it slide

"Sis Aleeya your friends are waiting for you downstairs" I say

"Why didn't they come in?" She asks

"No idea, lemme go get 'em.... bye monkeys" I said and headed out!

My stomach started growling while I was making my way downstairs "Yo cuties, your friend is upstairs in her room, they are beautifying her and she's still looking like a lizard" We all laughed to my silly joke and they went up while I headed to the kitchen!

I saw many varieties of food ouuu so much food for breakfast or perhaps lunch...??? So I decided to have pancakes and shredded chicken soup

I sat on the kitchen island and ate comfortably.

Finished and saw our maid who's in her 40s looking at me

"What's up Binta" she doesn't want to be called anything apart from her name

"You eat way too much my child" she say smiling

"It's my breakfast, what can I help with?" I ask politely.

"Nothing everything has been done, we're just expecting guests"

"I see" I say while placing the plate in the kitchen sink, gulped in some water and started making my way out to Mum

"Boom!!!!!!" Was shouted loudly onto my ears

I jumped out of fear and my eyes landed on Najma, my best friend I'm so going to strangle this girl!

"Najma what the heck is that, you scared me out" i whined Completely ignoring my statement she was like

"O M G! You look hot babe, look at you... wow wow wow!" This girl is such a drama queen

"I know" i grin and dragged her with me

"What can I help with Leenah?" She asked.

"We have to go get Aleeya's clothes from the Fashion designer, shop for some shoes and bags for me and contact the caterers to inform them about what has been chosen" I retorted

"You can do all that yourself Girl!" She say faking a pout

"No, I can't"

I went straight to mum and told her we're heading out,

Went to greet dad and he gave me enough money for the shopping and other stuffs!

I Went and grabbed my phone. saw Meelah busy on her laptop the girl I said should help out though they're workers

I rolled my eyes and dashed out

I came back and saw Najma busy on her phone I wonder what she's doing

"Let's go Najma"

I grabbed her hand and we asked the driver to take us.

The ride to the designer's place was quite so I decided to talk

"Najma, you know what?"

"You want to get married?" She ask sounding happy

"Be serious" i said glaring at her

"Go on"

"I think Ameer is being distant, we don't communicate like before and he stopped calling like he used to" he's been like that for over a month now

"He's probably just busy or i donno... you know I never liked that your man" yes Najma never liked Ameer she feels like he doesn't love me enough.

"Huh! I just donno what's up with him he doesn't even tell me he loves me anymore and when I do, he doesn't respond"

"Leenah, just try and talk to him maybe you've done something unknowingly" she suggested!

"I'd try doing that again" I said and smiled.
