When I agreed to do shopping with Swa, I did not think it was going to take the whole day, or I was going to get tired just from trying on too many clothes. Apparently, I should get more comfortable clothes for when I am home, like leggings and sweatpants, which I agree because I don't want to wear all of my fancy dresses at home.
I could understand that, however after hearing operation seduction, I did not think that it meant going to Victoria Secret and getting a lot of fancy panties that were more expensive than my whole closet. ' This card he gave you is unlimited, also, you are spending it on something he is going to enjoy' she said with a wink, I don't have to tell you how red my face was. This girl sure has no filter on her mouth, but I kind of like it. At least, she is going to tell you what she thinks and how she feels all the time. I already feel like I've known her my whole life
"So what do you exactly do?" I asked her out of curiosity
"Oh me, apart from hacking, I do this and that. I am not going to school right now, I am kind of taking a break. I am like a part time model . I pose for magazines when I am bored, Vogue mostly"she said nonchalantly, while licking her vanilla ice cream
"Really? That sounds like fun" I said looking at my vanilla milkshake. We were both sitting at a cafe, taking a little rest from this whole shopping
She shrugged "yeah sometimes it's fun, I mean it's better than sitting on a desk all day long looking at papers like Malik"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that Malik is taking care of the business that will belong to both of us, because he knows that papers are not really my thing, but I do love computers though"
"You sound like a hot nerd" I smiled at her
She just grinned "That obvious huh? Try not to fall for me, I don't want Zayn Malik on my bad side"
"I will try my best" and we both bursted out laughing. I can't believe I've only known her for few hours. I feel like I've always known her, like we grew up together.
"I think it's time for another round of shopping" she exclaimed, putting her hands together
"Please no, I don't think I can stand another round of trying on clothes" I whined putting on my best puppy eyes.
"Oh Don't worry we won't try anymore clothes" she smiled at me
I finally sat more comfortably and smiled. No more shopping
"More like shoes to go with them" She grinned evilly. I should have known better. This girl is a devil, yeah a shopping addict. Remind me again why I am here?
"It will be so quick, you won't feel a thing" she said
So that's how we spent another 45mn just trying on different shoes and ended up buying all of them. The shopping bags could barely fit into the SUV she brought just for the shopping. So she finally sat on the driver side, and I on the other side.

"Let's rehearse, what is plan one on operation seduction?"
I took a deep breathe "Well, plan one was the shopping" I answered smartly and she glared at me, So I immediately continued
"Well, we are going all four of us to a restaurant this evening, I am going to face him, and you will face Tony/Sebastian, I will occasionally stare at him, and lick my lips, wait that won't work because you wanted me to wear red lipstick"
"Come on girl, but anyways continue" She said sounding annoyed
"Sure, then we will go home and we will improvise"
"Seriously girl?" She exclaimed glaring at me
"Give a girl some break Swa"
"Fine"
And we both turned on our sides. We were silent for 2 mn before we stared at each other and both bursted out laughing. We are definitely crazy. That's for sure. It was not long before we were home and started emptying the trunk
~~~~~~
"Come on Swa not the eyelashes please"
"Just trust me, I know what I am doing"
"Fine you are not putting all of this on my face though"
"Just shut up and stay still"
I did what I was told, praying silently that this was not a mistake
"You are all set love" she said smiling proudly. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked very pretty, kind of like during my wedding, but with a red signature on my lips
"He won't be able to keep his hands to himself today" she winked at me
Oh God not again with this, I just roll my eyes and wear the beautiful dress that was on my bed plus the heels we bought today. Swa was all set also and was now retouching her make up. We heard a knock on the door and I went to open to find a handsome Malik in an all black tuxedo
"I can't believe you girls are still getting ready? After 3 hours seriously?" He asked still looking at his phone
"I am sorry if we took long trying to look this good" I said sweetly. He then rose his eyes and they met mine, he looked me up and down, doing it again with his mouth slightly open.
I smirked "Speechless much?"
"Those 3 hours were totally worth it"
"What are you insinuating Malik?" Asked Swa standing next to me
"True, What is that supposed to mean!"I asked glaring at him
"Oh lord, not again" he said passing his hands through his hair
Swa and I both bursted out laughing.
"You know what? I'll just get the car, I will be waiting for you" he said going down the stairs
"Ready?"Asked Swa giving me her arm
"I am ready" I answered with a smile
~~~~~~
The restaurant was classy yet cozy. There was a soft music in the background and it seemed to be filled with only rich people, because the women all mostly had diamond necklaces or gold bracelet I am pretty sure I am attracting a lot of unwanted attention judging from the pair of eyes I am feeling
"Breathe, you look gorgeous love" Swa whispered in my ears. I took a deep breath and soon enough, we were in front of our table. We all three sat, seeing that Sebastian was already there, and Swa gave him a kiss on the cheek. I could kind of see a little blush appearing there, or am I just imagining it?

"Malik, are you going to tell me how you got a quick reservation at this restaurant? Because you can't get seats unless you reserved them at least 6 months in advance"
He just smirked before answering " I have my ways"
"Longtime no see Swa, Looking gorgeous today, like always" Tony said finally looking at Swa
"I'm glad you finally noticed Seb"
There was a silence after that, Seb looking at Swa, her playing with her bracelet, Malik and I wondering what just happened, because we are definitely feeling some tension between the 2
"Soooo" I said trying to lighten the mood "what are we eating?"
"I want to try the Bouillabaisse" said Malik
"I'll check out le bœuf bourguignon" added Swa
"Coq au vin sounds great to me" mentioned Sebastian
"Fine I'll take the chicken and some fries, that is if they have it"
They all laughed at this. Wait what? What's funny ?
"Is there an inside joke that I am not aware of?" I asked looking at all of them
"Of course no, it's just that we all ordered in French and so, yeah it's not really funny we know" answered Sebastian looking at me
"If it was not funny, why were you guys laughing?"
"Because they are a bunch of idiots" said Swa rolling her eyes
After a while, our food came, and we ate, having a light discussion, that was full of mockery and just weird comments
~~~~~~~~
I am in my room right now, looking at myself in the mirror. I am wearing the two piece bathing suit that Swa chose for me, saying that it will look hot on me, and that I should use it when learning how to swim, but now I don't know if it's a really good idea. I feel like too much skin is exposed, but I can tell that I really looked good. I wonder what Malik is going to think. I blushed at the thought. So I put my long white robe on top of it and went down the stairs to join them in the pool.
After the restaurant, Sebastian left the restaurant saying that he had 'something' to do, which Swa was definitely curious about. So her and Malik were in the pool right now and Swa told me I should join them and so, I am just going to go sit on the chair and watch them. That was my plan so I walked in and they both stared at me. Swa acting like she was surprised
"Oh you are here, care to join us?" She asked innocently
"I, No thank you, I don't know how to swim" I answered with a smile that says 'what do you think you are doing'
"Well luckily, that won't be a problem for you then, Malik here is a pro at this and I am sure he won't mind to teach you, will you Brother?"She asked with a smile. Please say no, please say no, Come on Malik for once
And the devil just shrugged, which his sister took as a yes
"So I am going to leave you here, I have to meet someone right now" she said leaving the pool and taking her towel that was just next to me . She brought her lips next to my ear and whispered "Well this is it, you better not mess it up" and gave me a kiss on the cheek before leaving me alone with her brother. I am pretty sure I look like a robot, how me coming to watch them ended up in her leaving me here with him alone
"Earth to Green" he yelled from inside the pool. That surely interrupted my thoughts
"You sure this is a good idea?" I asked him really unsure
"What are you scared that I am going to drown you?"
"Yes I am actually"
"I promise I won't do that, Come I am going to teach you the basics"
I swallowed hard and took the robe off of me, putting it on the chair next to me and started advancing towards him, I could feel his eyes on my whole body. I kept walking, going down the stairs one by one, trying not to look at him. His gaze was too strong and I did not want to get lost in his eyes. After I was next to him, I finally looked at him, and our eyes met
"Beautiful" he said holding my cheek "you are really beautiful"
Being the weird person I am, I just looked around playing with my hair, doing my best to ignore his beautiful chest
He cleared his throat "Are you ready for the first class?"He asked in a husky voice. Why did his voice change? I just nodded my head
"Ok simple. I am going to put my hands just under the water and you are going to lie on the surface, on top of them, and you are going to do the movements with your hands and feet okay? So it's like you are actually swimming on the surface. You got it?"
"Yup I got it"
"Ready? In a count to three. One" and I was already facing the water, and I have to tilt my head to prevent it to be in the water
"Can't you warn a girl before?" I scowled at him . He was looking everywhere else but me "Hello Malik I am talking to you"
I saw him taking a deep breathe, then he put me in my original standing position
"F*ck I can't do this" he said running his hands through his hair"
"Malik what the hell?"
"I can't do this" he repeated again
"But I thought you said you were going to teach me?"
"Tell me Yasmin, how can I teach you when there is only one thing in my mind, tell me"
"You tell me! Why wouldn't you teach me?"
"Better yet, I'll show you" he said closing the small gap between us. He put his lips on mine, and slowly, my answer died in my throat. I thought we were yelling at each other, but I gotta admit, I was not expecting this. He took me bridal style and walked us outside of the pool and the next thing I know, we were already in his room where we spent the rest of our beautiful night.
