"Come on now Swa, we are not going for a photoshoot" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs. This girl finally came back from her trip a day ago and we were all excited. We were about to go for my orientation at my new school. Yes you read that right, Malik and I decided that now that I don't have to worry about Omar's school, I can finally pursue a higher education.

"Aren't you a little too excited for this?" Asked Fatimah who was just sitting on the couch biting into an apple

"Obviously I don't want to be late for my orientation"

"First of all, the school is 10 minutes away, and you have a full hour before your orientation" added Swa, walking down the stairs like a princess. She might be right, but I won't give her that satisfaction

"It's better to be early than late"

"Whatever, ready girls?" Her grin is starting to freak me out, it's never a good sign

We all went outside and got in the car. I am starting to get used to being in a car without freaking out due to the accident. But I am still not ready to drive yet, maybe one day. Malik is away for a day, he has an important meeting oversees and he canceled it after I told him not to, so I did not speak to him for 30 minutes and being the scaredy cat that he is, he called them back and told them he would only be there for few hours instead of two days, that he had to come back the same day to his wife. We both liked that agreement, and that is what explains his absence. I do not want to be a burden for him, I don't want him to stop working just because of me.

"Dreaming about hubby huh?" Swa grinned

"I don't think it is a good idea for me to get married. Woman you are never on this planet" laughed Fatimah

"Forgive me for traveling to dreamland. In case you haven't noticed, it is a really nice place. And I will be waiting for you two after your weddings. How I pity those two unlucky gentlemen. They will start getting white hair before 40"

"What makes you think that he won't be 70 by the time we get married?" added Swa

"Eww" both Fatimah and I said at the same time "I guess you are talking about your grandfather's friends" We laughed

"Come on Meen, don't you know that older guy are more matured and know how to take care of their women? I mean look at my brother for example, isn't he almost 30?"

"Swa, but look at him though, he is so yummy, those muscles, that hotness, I am pretty sure he has abs, right Yasmin?" How I want to punch her

I just rolled my eyes, even though I was already thinking about his abs, will never get use to his hotness, but that is a secret I prefer keeping to myself "Fatimah can you stop thinking about my hubby, if you haven't noticed, he is taken"

"By a Queen Fatimah, put that in your head, and ewww please don't refer to my brother and the word yummy in the same sentence at least not in front of me"

We all bursted at Swa's expression. How I miss these ladies.

"We are here" said Swa as she was finding a parking spot. we all got out of the car and started going towards the place where the orientation was going to happen. This is going to be fun!!!

~~~~~~~

"How do you like your schedule?" the ladies asked me as we were going inside the car. They were on their own most of the time, as I had to follow the other students to listen to a bunch of bald men, apparently they were some sort of alumni

"I quite like it, I can't wait to become a teacher"

"Yeah, in 4 years" laughed both Swa and Fatimah. Why are these ladies against me today huh ?

"Haven't you heard of the expression time flies?"

"Whatever. Where are we going next?"

"Home, we are having a girl's night, I just need to grab some things from the grocery" answered Swa as she was parking. We all got out of the car, followed her like a lost puppy not really knowing what we were buying. She goes in, but not before putting on sunglasses and a hat that she got out of nowhere, I was wondering why, until I saw people taking pictures in secret. For a second, I forgot that this woman was a popular model, and her face is almost on every woman magazine's first page. She grabbed quickly different Ice cream flavors, like vanilla, chocolate, mint

"Quickly, they noticed me. Fatimah grab the drinks, I'll get some chocolates, Yasmin the snacks? Meet me in the front"

"Got yah" We both yelled as we saw Swa trying to hide her face and so we hurried and met her in the front, she payed real quick before someone started grabbing her to ask some questions

"Run" she yelled and we all just started running towards the car. We got in and she started driving right after. After few seconds, we all bursted out laughing, all out of breath from this little exercise we did from the store to the car.

"I can't believe they recognized me"

"I mean, you are wearing Louboutins, a cartier bracelet, and your clothes look so fancy, even if they did not really know who you were, they know for sure you must be somewhat rich or famous you dummy" I rolled my eyes

"On another topic, we definitely need to exercise more often. We looked like we were about to pass out from the 20 seconds running"

"Fatimah, Did you see my heels? That is my excuse. But you two definitely need to go to the gym"

"Why go to the gym when you can go to the kitchen?" Fatimah and I looked and each other before high fiving

"True dat" added a laughing Swa. The music was high on, and Swa just turned on the volume, and there Middle by Zedd was blasting like no tomorrow. We all were singing the lyrics that we knew by heart

'Oh Baby, Why don't you just meet me in the middle? I am losing my mind just a little' Only, I am naturally crazy, so the song is so relatable. We were singing so loud, and I am not going to lie, it feels good. It feels nice just to hang out with people you truly love. We were already in front of the house, and I see Malik's car parked there.

"See ya ladies in a bit" I yelled as I got out of the car to go in, not bothering to wait for them

Both Swa and Fatimah started laughing behind me "Can't wait to see the hubby huh"

"I am pretty she just missed the abs" added fatimah, I ignored them both and ran towards Our bedroom. I opened the door and walked in to see a shirtless Malik who looks like he was about to take a shower or something. I went straight to give him a peck on the lips before hugging him so tight

"I missed you too Green" He said laughing. I could feel his chest vibrating from his laugh, His beautiful laugh

"I missed you" I said in his shirt

"Not that I am not loving this embrace, but I gotta take a shower, and you are welcome to join" He said wiggling his eyebrows. As if on cue, walked Swa right in. She went straight to the closet, opened it to take a random shirt and threw it on Malik's face.

"You are not the only ones in the house I remind you. And you are not welcomed here tonight" She said as she pushed me to take his arm and drag him outside the room and down the stairs

"Come on Swa, this is my house"He whined, but Swa was having none of it

"Yeah, you are my brother whatever is yours is mine, therefore this is my house. We are having a girl's night and you are not welcomed"

"My wife is not yours" At this point, I couldn't contain my laugh anymore, which seemed to infuriate Malik.

"You are not helping love" He yelled from the bottom of the stairs

"Sorry hun, but that wasn't the plan" I winked at him

And as if on cue, Tony walked in out of nowhere with a really weird smile on his lips

"Hello peeps"

"You too Tony, I love you so much, but sadly, you are in the same boat as my brother, bye felicia" She said as she was dragging now two guy both bigger and taller than her. I remind you that she has very tall heels on too. I salute this woman.

Just remind me to never get on her bad side

"Come on Swa, I just got here, I want to spend some time with you guys too. I love you Swa" At the mention of love, Swa stopped for a second, before shaking her head and dragging them out of the house, at the same time closing the door. She is a super woman, but both Fatimah and I can not ignore the fact Tony's simple word affected her, but she put a smile on, like nothing happened

"Ready for the night B*tches?" She yelled. Both Fatimah and I shook our heads at her language, but we are both used to it

"As ready as we can get" We grinned before running up the stairs like little kids. We went in the guest room and saw that they already set up the food on the table while I was with the hubby. I take of my scarf and change real quick, just like Fatimah, before we joined Swa on the bed. I just love how the bed is big enough for all three of us and for 2 more people.

"Ready for the movie?" She asked as she opened the popcorn

"Which movie is it though?"

"Infinity War, apparently, you don't need to watch the other super hero movies, anyways I got your back. I can't believe we are about to eat this whole thing. But My manager does not know about this, and even if he does, f*ck being healthy for one night. We deserve it ladies"

I just grin at her comments, typical Swa. And so, that is how the movie began. The night was filled with laughter, weird comments, a lot of junk food eating, more importantly, a lot of fun
