'Hmm..I should know since I have saved you'
He said with a shrug,then pocketed his hands and started walking away
I watched him go ..for a minute..then a sudden fear crept my head ..
What if he haunts me..?
I shivered before running towards him..
and I think he might have felt that ,
that is why he suddenly halted and I the clumsy I ,bumped on his back and I lost balance and wham...am on the ground..
I winced a little then looked up at him with teared eyes
"I'm sorry"I didn't know what I was apologizing for but I still did it
He tilted his head
"that you fell on the ground"he asked puzzled
I nodded...
After realizing how stupid that sounds I quickly covered it up
"And answering you rudely..am sorry,just take me home please.."I almost cried
He smiled..and I wished I had similar smiles..then he squat to my level since I was still on the ground
"Listen princess...I deserve rude answer sometimes,I don't mind.."
But I cut him off..I knew how painful it was when someone gave you a rude answer
"no one deserves a rude answers"
He smiled again,and I made a mental note to make a friend in him maybe since I didn't have many of those
"For an eighth years old ,you do sound damn grown up"
I looked down...it's not like I could even look at people in their faces..
and what can I say..
life has forced us to grow up so fast..
He got up and offered me his hand..
"Take my hand princess.."
I contemplated ,looking between him and his hand..and he once more gave his signature smile
"When I hold on to someone...I just don't let go"..
he said and I smiled back..maybe I can have friends,I gave him my hand and he pulled me up..
"let us go mia cara" he said still holding on to my hand.
I wore a puzzled look..when he saw I was not moving he turned to me
"Mi...mi..what?"I asked
He chuckled.."it's Italian.."
I gave him a blank stare.."I'm I also supposed to know that.."
He chuckled again.."you know,you are really funny where were you all my life"he said suppressing a laugh..
but after staring at me it clicked in his head and he gave a gasp..I might as well add a dramatic gasp
"You are serious.."
I just shrugged and started walking..I mean you don't just learn Italian anywhere
"Well princess..you're in luck..because you have met someone who knows about twenty languages,smart..rich..talented of course and let's not forget how handsome he is"he smirked
I frantically looked around..then back at him with a frown..
"Where?"
This time he really did gasp..
"me..I'm speaking about me..and I will teach you all at them read,write draw..whatever you require princess"
For a child..I may add..a girl,this was a dream come true so I squealed and clapped jumping up and down..
"really"
"You are really adorable.."
at that time..that statement was just a normal thing,after all I really was adorable baby.
"yes I would ...all you have to do is meet me here everyday at mid day.."
I nodded excitedly.."yaaayyy"
He rubbed my hair..and after shouting my goodbyes I ran home..
My brother seemed to not even notice I was gone..
The next day I was soo excited,as noon reached I ran to the great baobab tree near our house and I waited till dark came..
I did cry...
but I guess maybe tomorrow..I waited for the guy..
and What suddenly days turned into weeks ,
weeks into months
and months scurried into years..
new people came into my life and by that I meant my best friend
she was..no is wild ,outgoing..and epic .
When she found out about i waiting for some kid I met when I was eight she almost died in laughter...
I was mad at her and she made it up to me by teaching me everything knew, be it read,write or draw..she told me to stop waiting and she can be really annoying at times..
"You know what it's called...being stood up.."
she wouldn't shut up..
One day she asked..
"did you even ask his name?
I sighed..that's when it clicked..he is never coming back..I was mad at him and because I was getting older..I decided to hate the male population too..
"You can be Really stupid Issy"
I rolled my eyes..and that's when I decided..on my fifteenth birthday..I stopped waiting for the mystery boy..
My sixteenth birthday was my favourite..because right after two years I finally had a conversation with my brother and how can I even forget it
"Isqaar have you seen my silver watch somewhere?"
I gave him a wide grin which he clearly didn't see though
"Yes..on the cabinet "I said
He soon showed up with it.
".got it. Ilham will come later..have fun..".and I smiled more..
When he left I started dancing myself..
I was happy..and that went on even after I was left all alone in the house,
on my birthday ..
totally normal..
I even crashed on the couch after re watching Romeo and Juliet..
what? Am a sucker for love stories
..blame karma.
When the door bell rang ,I was happy that Naseer came back early today even if he won't talk to me I'm happy..I put my veil and slowly opened the door..
"Hellow princess.."
Just before I could ask who he was ..
And the sight infront of me made me drop my eye balls ..
In front of me stood a well built guy..tall and he had a Corky smirk on his face making the green color in his hazel eyes radiate more..
he was in a white long sleeved shirt.. it was light and clinged to his skin proving that he totally is working out..a few strands of his messy hair fell on his forehead head..
Suddenly he grunted..and my eyes shot up to his face..and he had that smug look that you'd want to slap it off..
and suddenly I remember his air filled promise..
" is it noon already.?"I asked
trying more to sound like Ilham..
Girl how do you do it?
His calmness though..which I was hoping to wither..remained steady..
"Happy Birthday.."he said totally ignoring my sarcasm..
did he jus-
"These are for you"
that's when I noticed he carried a bouquet...I took them with a shy smile..
These are the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen..
What..those are Roses..you see them everyday..
My subconscious rolled her eyes
No..they are the beautifuliest.
Anha..
I noted how my subconscious dripped with sarcasm
"You sure stare Long at flowers"his voice woke me up from my pointless battle..I moved away..
"Please come in"I said my mood going back to its normal self..
When he sat down I couldn't help but smile..I don't know why..but it felt good,I brought him a drink and as he drank I stole some few glances..
till when he caught me he smirked..
and winked...
and I felt my cheeks burn
"Uhmm.."I stood up.
Awkward....
"We are going to a birthday lunch.."
he cut me off
"go change.."
His voice left no room for arguments..I sighed..
"No..my brother-
"Won't mind"I brushed me off..
I sighed going to my room..oh well..since I had no many clothes,I just wore the usual,
Ilham will have my head..
Eye roll
When I got out,he looked at me as if figuring me out..his eyes moved and at times settled at particular places..
I suddenly become uncomfortable..
I started playing with my fingers..
till my nose hit a beautiful scent..like lime..or honey..
And when I look up I come face to face..with dark hazel orbs..boring holes into me..
"You look..beautiful.."his velvet voice surprisingly huskier ..I felt heat rise up to my cheeks I looked everywhere but him..I know he was smirking,I felt it..
"Do I give you a hard time Isqaar.."
My name rolled out of his tongue perfectly without trying..I never told him that?!
Meh.. who cares?!,
..that was soo perfect,oh god is someone holding a remote to replay this..
he moved closer..and me,clumsy me decided to introduce myself..by tripping..and sadly,
I fell... no he didn't catch me..
I look up to him and he chuckled..as I frowned covering my embarrassment
"I told you princess..hold onto me"he held out his hand..
but I restrained myself..thinking what if there were fireworks, butterflies and explosions..
What the hell Issy..
I sighed..standing up on my own..as I was about to leave and he pulled me closer that I hit his chest his hand on the small of my back..
"Call me Ahzar..I'll be your second brother..but mostly..friend"
He let go..
Friend...
Friend...
Friend...
"Hey-
......
"Isqaar I swear if you don't open this door I'm gonna walk in there regardless you're naked.."
I suddenly stop the shower..and I think....it got very hot in the bathroom
"One.."
"I'm coming.."I shouted nervously and I heard his laughter filled the room as I sighed.
I hugged my towel..
"I don't mind coming in by the way.."
I gasped..and quickly started dressing I realised I was lost In long hot shower.
