I looked around his car. It's pretty neat for a guy like him and comfortable too.
"So where are we heading to?" I asked.
"To find a penthouse." He shrugged.
"I know genius, I meant do you have somewhere in mind?"
"Here." When he said that I looked out of the window.
We were under a huge building with at least 30 floors and it was made of glass. It's fancy words on it that said 'THE PLAZA'. I only know that this place exist because I drive pass it every morning to school. It's really popular too.
We climbed out of the car after Amir pulled over. We went in together and walked to the reception.
Amir did his talking with the receptor and soon after a worker came up to us and lead us to show us the penthouse.
The penthouse was on floor 28 and it was the biggest in the plaza.
"Here's one of our finesse penthouse we currently have. You can check out the rooms and tell me if you want to take it or not. I'll be waiting here." The worker instructed us as I began roaming around the huge apartment.
It was really breathtaking. I like how it had glass instead of walls in the living room. I bet the view is even more beautiful at night than now.
Amir studied the apartment with his hands in his pockets. It's had three bedroom with their own bathrooms and closets upstairs while there was a kitchen, a huge gym room and a dining room downstairs.
Now this is my dream place to live in. A perfect home with gym? Sign me up.
"Wooah It has a gym too." I trailed behind Amir like a lost puppy wanting to see where he focused on to decide if we going to take it.
"Yeah" he made a turn and went downstairs as I walked behind him before he suddenly halted and I pumped into his back. Hard.
I stumbled backwards about to befriend the floor when I felt a strong arm smashing me to a hard chest.
I stared at his eyes with mine wide.
His eyes were now dark blue and it was so beautiful I almost wanted get lost in them. My heart stopped.
But before getting lost in his blue eyes reality came crashing down on me.
We're not married yet. He can't touch me.
I pulled away fast and faked a cought, looking anywhere but him.
Why am I pumping into people today?!
He turned around with an amused face and a smile played on his lips.
Great I look like a clown now.
"What do you think? Do you like it here?" He cleared his throat facing me again.
"It's really beautiful here. How about you? Shall we take it?" I said normally like nothing happened.
Nothing happened, right?
"Then let's take it. It's not bad." He said sending one last look at the apartment.
"Excuse me we decided to take it." I called after the worker who was still standing where we left him.
It took us 20 min to sign some papers for the penthouse and gave us two separate keys to the aparment. We were heading to the parking lot now.
The worker said that we could move in today if we wanted to so that made me wonder...
"When are we going to move in there?" I slipped inside the car as Amir did the same.
"Tomorrow I guess after the nikah." He replied, his eyes on the road. I hummed as my eyes spotted an ice cream cart.
"Ice cream!! Pull up, Pull up now!" I yelled excitedly. It's been so long I've seen an ice cream cart or eaten from it.
Amir chuckled but pulled up nonetheless.
As soon as he stopped I went out of the car and skipped to the ice cream cart like a kid. I don't care if I look like a kid now, ice cream will always be my favourite.
I smiled at the guy who was standin behind the cart. The guy however smirked flirtiously. I get that he's handsome and looks younger than me but does he have to look so desperate?
"Hi, can we get a vanilla ice cream and..." I looked at Amir beside me who was sending daggers at the poor guy with his eyes.
"Chocolate." He growled. I almost got scared and I wasn't the only one. The poor kid did his work faster than the flash. After 20 secs he gave us our ice cream while I was tried to fish out my wallet out of my pocket but Amir beat me to it. "I got it." He stopped me and paid.
I smiled again at him and thanked him.
We walked to a bench before we sat on it. I licked my ice cream which the flavor exploded in my mouth, I sighed in delight "It's so good."
A question popped up in head.
"Hey, why did you accept the marriage?"
He stared at my face as the corner of his mouth titled up.
"Don't tell me that you think I'm in love with you."
I snorted "you're unbelievable. Just answer the question."
He took a deep breath. "My father caught me doing something I shouldn't do."
"And what is that?" I took a bit of my ice cream with my lips.
He suddenly came closer to my face than he should. "A secret."
I quickly turned my face away hiding the blush creeping up my cheeks.
"Is it that bad." I asked.
"You have no idea what I do, lion."
Somehow that made me even more curious. I heard that curiosity killed the cat but I'm not a cat, am I?
"Why lion though? I could be a princess." I smirked. He raised one of his eyebrows.
"You more like a wild animal than a pretty princess."
I gasped and swatted his arm.
"See." He pointed out smirking.
"No I'm not." I pout and shoved my ice cream in my mouth.
We were sitting on the bench a while longer after we finished our ice cream until a ringtone intrupted the silence.
Amir picked up his phone.
"Yes" he said. He listened, then he asked. "Now?" As he took glances at me.
"Alright I'm on my way." With that he ended the call.
It took all of my strength not to ask who that was. Curiosity builded inside of me. Where is he going now at this hour?
Okay it's not that late but still, it's dark outside.
"Let's go, I'll drive you home." He started to speak and stood up looking at me down.

What do you think Amir do? Is it something dangerous? Do you Layla will find out sooner or later?
