Safia's POV

Brody was keeping his word and walked or drove me home whenever nobody could take me home. We didn't hang out that much, only that time of the day he took me home.

I noticed a book on Brody's car seat as I jumped in his car at the passengers side. I was looking at the book and was only able to read the first word of the title until Brody grabbed the book and placed it on the backseat. The first word I read was 'The'. Yeah I know, nothing too special but something about how the book looked seemed different.

"Oh, I probably forgot this here." Brody said about the book.

"Wait let me see." I said trying the reach for it.

"No." Brody said also trying to reach for it.

And you can already figure it out, little gap between the driver and passenger seat and our 2 faces against that gap trying to reach for the book with our hands. We haven't been that close with our face to each other than that time he almost kissed me. One move and our lips would touch. That book wasn't worth it, so I let go of the book and sat back normally in my seat. I faked a cough because of the awkwardness.

"Why can't I see that book?" I asked. What was this guy hiding?

"Euhm euhm." He said avoiding eye contact.

"Well?" I asked.

Brody's POV

What the hell do I say now? 'Hey Safia I'm interested in Islam and I'm reading about it'. Lol heck no, what if I lose interest after a few weeks. I need to say something so she would drop it immediately. Oh I know..

"Well?" She asked.

"It's.. a euhm.. a you know.. man book." I lied. If it wasn't awkward enough already..

"A what? What do you mean by a 'man book'?" She asked.

Is she serious? Where does this girl live?

"Seriously?" I said looking at her.

She raised her eyebrows and waited for an explanation.

"It's a book with naked girls in it, you cave girl." I said whilst I felt my cheeks turn red.

As so did hers and she broke eye contact. I thought she would drop it, but hell was I wrong.

"Why the freaking heck would you buy sh.. I mean trash like that?" She was angry, why was she angry. I actually found it funny, she was angry because I owned a book with naked girls in it. To be clear, I do not have a book with naked girls in it, I maybe used to have it when I was younger like any other guy but I don't own one now.
She probably things I'm a creepy oversexual dude.

"Relax it's not mine." I said trying to sooth her. I actually didn't lie, it wasn't mine.. It was Malik's.

She seemed relieved and relaxed again.

"I will kill you if you ever buy a book like that!" She said.

Cute..

"Okay promise, but if you ever bring a book out like that I would be the first-.." I couldn't even finish my sentence or she had smacked my upper arm.

"Auww" I shouted whilst rubbing the sore pot.

"Don't you dare say that again." She threatened.

"Or what?" I whispered and leaned in closer. I loved teasing her.

"Just drive you weirdo." She said pushing my chest away.

I laughed at her reaction and started the engine, this is going to be one hell of an awkward car ride.

Ooh by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that I already have been to court. Based on the security cameras at school, they arrested Nathan on assault with intent to rape. He is going to jail for a long time.

...

Something popped into my head as I was driving closer and closer to where Safia lived. Safia and I were suposed to go on a date.. And she isn't grounded anymore, sooo I think it's time for the date she promised me.

"Hey where are you going?" She asked as I drove passed her house.

"Do you remember your promise?" I asked.

"What promise?" She asked. "Brody, don't kidnap me like you did the other time." Oh yeah, totally forgot about that.

"You, lady, promised me a date.. So, now that you're not grounded anymore, you are going on a date with me." I grinned.

"Brody no, not today, I'm tired." Safia said annoyed.

"Too bad, you know how stubborn I am."

"Did I already tell you that I have never met a more annoying guy like you?"

"That, you said a few times. But you did forgot to say that you have never met an awesome guy like me before." I smirked.

She rolled her eyes at me and eventually looked out of the window.

"Fine, where are we going?" She asked.

"A nice restaurant." I said.

Safia's POV

I hate restaurants, I'm that kind of girl who just can not eat fancy. I'm a mess when I eat. And I also hate it to eat in public, don't ask me why..

We arrived at the restaurant and it looked fancy, too fancy..

"Wait, are we eating here?" I asked.

"Yes, too fancy for you cave girl?" He smirked.

I smacked his upper arm again and walked into the restaurant.

"You're an aggressive girl." He said walking behind me.

I rolled my eyes and followed the woman who offered us a table for 2. I can't believe that I'm actually on a date with a guy.

"So, what are you eating?" He asked whilst we were looking at the menu's.

I couldn't eat much, everything was with meat in it except the salad.

"The salad I guess, that's the only thing I can eat." I responded.

"Oh forgot to tell you that everything is 'halal' here." He said.

"Wait seriously? This is not something to joke about." I was scared that after we ate he was going to say 'ha joke! It isn't halal here, so the beef taste the same doesn't it'? I would kill him..

"Just trust me okay." Brody said.  I nodded and ordered some fancy chicken."

"That was good right?" he asked.

"Yeah." I responded.

"I need to confess something." he said.

"What?! Brody don't you dare play with something like this.." He's dead if he's going to say what I think he's going to say..

"The meat isn't halal." he just said what?!

"Whaaaat???!" I shouted. Everybody was looking at us but I couldn't care less.

"You piece of.."

"Chill, I'm just joking."

"That isn't funny at all, jerk."

Speaking about a moodkiller.

"I'm sorry, okay!"Brody apologized.

I rolled my eyes and continued eating.

I hate this guy.

...

We drove back home, it was pretty late already. I texted my mom earlier where I was and who I was with. She understood and let me go.

Brody stopped in front of my house and looked at me.

"So there you go."

"Thanks for driving me home." I said and was about to get out of the car.

"Wait, that's it?" Brody said.

"Yeah? Do you want a goodbye kiss or something?" I said sarcastically.

"Euhm YEAH." he said still making eye contact.

"Okay." I said, I'm not going to let him kiss me obviously, but I can always tease him back.

"Wait, are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded and leaned in closer.

Our lips were about to touch until I backed away. "I'll see you tomorrow", I said winking at him. I got out of the car and entered the house.

Brody's POV

She's going to let me kiss her? Really? If this is some kind of joke, she'll regret it. I leaned in closer and was about to finally kiss the girl I really liked.

"I'll see you tomorrow." she said and got out of the car. Is she serious? I watched her enter her house as I was still thinking about what she just did.

Oh, she isn't the only one that can play like that. Let's see how fast I can turn her on. I smiled at the thought and drove off.

Successful day, I think..
