A
                          
I knocked on Benny's house door and Amira opened it. Benny lived in Blackpool due to work and he's the one who usually picks me up from the airport and we drive home together. 
                          
"Ami!" I said excitedly, hugging the life out of her. 
                          
"Alexa! Jesus, I've missed you," she mumbled into my shirt. 
                          
"Me too. Me too," I nodded. 
                          
"So you've got Niall with you?" She asked. 
                          
"Yeah. Let's all just ignore him. He's going to do the same anyway," I rolled my eyes. 
                          
"Don't be a bitch, Alexa," she said, slapping my arm. "Gosh how nice it is to curse. Zara keeps repeating everything we say and it's so hard to control the damn girl."
                          
"I can see. I missed her so much," I said. We got into the car and Zara almost immediately hopped onto her mother's lap. Amira was born a Muslim but converted when she had to marry Benny. Her parents were completely against it but her mum still keeps in contact with her every now and then. It's sad that she gave up her family but as long as she's happy, I guess. 
                          
"Hi Niall," Amira said. She's too nice. She's like the female version of my dad. 
                          
"Hi..." Niall smiled and he looked so uncomfortable doing so. Her conversation with him halted there. The rest of the ride went by in the blink of an eye. I was having too much fun playing 'I spy' with Zara. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Niall's eyes trying to find whatever Zara or I said. 
                          
"I spy with my little eye... something... Blue!" I said, thinking about the lake we were crossing. 
                          
"His eyes," she pointed to Niall. He turned back and looked at Zara as she poked his arm. 
                          
"Well... you're not wrong..." I said, staring into Niall's eyes. As I said, I love them. 
                          
In my family both Benny and Vanna have green eyes which they inherited from my dad. Me, on the other hand, had eyes that completely resembled my mother's. I love the sentiment behind it but they're a very common colour. When I was younger, I got super jealous of my sibling's green eyes. 
                          
Niall's eyes were like no other. Of course I've seen tons of people with blue eyes, Louis for example. But Niall's eyes was such a contrast to his personality. The gentle blue in his eyes are calming and soothing whereas he's a person who loves to wreak havoc wherever he goes. 
                          
"I'll give that point to you Zee but I was talking about the lake," I said, pointing behind her. 
                          
"That's black Alexa," She sassed. 
                          
"It's blue genius," I said, ruffling her hair. 
                          
"Alexa no!" She whined, smacking my hand away. 
                          
"Zara!" Benny scolded her and Zara frowned. 
                          
"Benny! She's a child. Let her be," I scolded him, whacking his arm. 
                          
"You spoil her too much," Benny said, shaking his head. 
                          
"She's my niece. Of course I'll spoil her, duh," I rolled my eyes. 
                          
"I wonder if Zara is my kid or yours. She's like a fff- carbon copy of you," Benny said. 
                          
"And that's why she's cooler than you," I sassed and Benny turned to glare at me. 
                          
"Eyes on the road, hands at two and ten mister," I said, making him laugh. When we learned how to drive our dad repeated it like a broken record to teach us proper driving. We don't follow it, definitely, but it was some good memories.
