Negina | ✔️

Chapter fifteen: "I've got you, don't worry."

"Next question, How many kids do I want?"

Khalid stares at her. "What? That's not fair! We've never even talked about this... at least not yet." Khalid smirks at the last part and Naser was already busy writing his answer down.

"Three, two, one"

Khalid answered "three" and Naser answered the same.

"I have 3 as my answer so you both get a point." Negina bites her tongue accidentally and curses herself. Khalid and Naser high five each other before they continue.

"What is the lowest grade I've ever gotten in school?" Negina asks and after a few minutes their answers were revealed

Khalid's answer was a "C+" and Nasers answer was "C-" Negina bites her lip, not knowing weather to give Khalid and Naser the point or not since her answer was "C".

"Come on, you've gotta give me the point!" Khalid says.

"No! It's clear that I knew the answer!" Naser defends himself.

Khalid pecks Negina's cheeks and smiles, "can I have the point, now?"

"No! Cheater!" Khalid smacks the back of Naser's head.

"It's called compromising." Naser says the itch his tongue stuck out for Khalid.

"Fine then." Khalid takes Negina's chin in his hand and turns it toward him. Smashing his lips on her his hold on her doesn't let go. "It's called compromising." He breathes, mimicking.

"What is my definition of love?" Negina asks trying to move on. And adds, "oh and by the way, Khalid's sister and my sister came up with these questions. Not me. So I had to take time and answer them myself, as well."

Within seconds the papers were flipped and Naser has down, "Love is being passionate about someone." and Khalid had down, "Love is friendship."

Negina admired Khalid for a second. The answer he had put was the same answer she had put down. Was this a coincidence? Was this a magic trick or something? They had the same answer. The same exact answer. This could not be possible. This was preposterous, unbelievable!

"Negina?" Khalid whispers starring her in the eyes.
He wanted to tell her he loved her. He wanted to kiss her right here, in front of the camera for everyone to see. No. He couldn't. He couldn't let himself fall so easily. Into her trap, he couldn't let himself fall. Because he already fell. In fact, he's now heavily stuck in her trap. The trap of Negina's unconditional love. 

"Let's continue," Negina suggests pulling back from the staring contest.

Khalid rubs the back of his neck, blushing. "Yes, lets continue."

And so the game continued; Exposing secrets, devouring killing lies, and creating obnoxious traps.

Fifteen, no. Twenty, questions were asked. Forty answers were received. Khalid got seventeen correct. And Naser got eighteen correct.

Naser had won the game, leaving Khalid to jump in the freezing the pool. The weather also being freezing, 35°.

"Ugh!" Khalid shivers in his swim trunks as they carry the camera outside to the backyard.

"Woo! Go Khalid! Do it for your mommy! Make your daddy proud!" Naser sarcastically yet very enthusiastically cheers on Khalid.

"I love you -!" Khalid yells and the rest was inaudible. Leaving Negina in wonder of who that was meant for. He takes a deep breath and jumps in. Seconds later he's swimming to the other end where Negina stands. Negina hands the camera to Naser, afraid that she'd drop it in the water.

Khalid holds his hand out for Negina to help him up. Negina takes his large hands in her soft ones and holds it for a second before pulling her into the water with him.

Negina shrieks out loud as she falls in the water, drowning. She frantically waved her arms around like a mad person, in attempted to get herself out. Yes, Negina can't swim.

It was at that moment Khalid knew that he had fucked up.

"I've got you, don't worry." He says wrapping his hands around Negina's waist to prevent her from drowning. She stops moving around and freezes in his arms. She stares into his eyes as he whispers, "I'll always be there to save you."
