Aaliya's POV
I look around the shop. It is a cozy place, round tables with yellow table cloths. The walls fresh wood, and a sweet slow voice playing the background. As I entered I was greeted by a Greek God, Mr. Abdullah. He wears blue jeans, a black jacket and sneakers. I am awed by his appearance. I just wanna run into his arms and hug him, but I hold the urge.
"Hello, Miss Steele."
"Hi." I hold out my hand to shake, but to my surprise, he enveloped me into his arms and gave me a tight hug. My subconscious did her vicious smile and stared at me like a gawk. "Told you, Haider." I heard her say. "You'll fall for this man."
"Have a seat." He releases me and pulls out a chair. A gentleman!
"Thank you." I settle down, my back straight. I'm glad my father, Ghulam, had taught me some courtesies, or else I would have been embarassed as hell.
"What would you like to have?"
"I'm not sure. A cappuccino would be nice."
"And nothing to eat?"
"No, I'm not famished a lot."
"Sure?" I nod. He nods back, a little awkwardly. He calls for the waiter.
"How may I help you sir?"
"The lady would like a cappuccino and .. um.. black coffee, no sugar." He says very intimidatingly. For a second, my inner goddess shies away. I am almost gonna ask her why she's shying, when I notice him looking a me with a ghostly smile. "You seem happy."
"I am. Just not with you."
"Why, Miss Haider, you find me intimidating?" My subconscious perks up her ears, wide-eyed and glares at me.
"Yeah, I admit."
"That's nice. I like to be felt intimidating."
"But I forgot to mention.. I can handle it." My inner goddess swirls at my confidence, I feel like patting on my back. That's how it is, Abdullah!
"Joe.. Abdullah." He says into his cell. "Who?.. Leila?.. Is she here?... why?... is taylor ok?.. Yeah I'll talk with Flynn.. Thank you, Joe." I stare at him.
"Who is Leila?" I spat out without thinking. His girlfriend, why do you care? my subconscious glares at me.
"Just a mate." He answers coolly.
"And taylor? A mate, too?"
"He, Aaliya, works for me."
"Oh, that bodyguard?"
"Yep, you got that right. 'THAT' bodyguard. Are you finished?"
"Very much." I smile.
"Good. I'll drop you."
"No, I have my car with me."
"That car won't do any good, Miss Haider. I said I'll drop you, means I'll drop you. Come." He says. Ooh, Intimidating as ever.
"Yeah, okay."
"Come." He holds out his hand, I take it. He pulls me out of the door and we walk until the parking lot. I suddenly am shocked, out of nowhere a car comes by my side and I am almost hit when a hand pulls me hard against it. "Aaliya." I hear a voice say. I am panting. Hard. I close my eyes as I hug my angel hard.
"Are you okay?" Zain, Crap!
"Yeah, I guess so." I say, still panting.
"Do you feel anything? Nausea?" He murmurs.
"No, I am fine, Zain."
"Oh my god." He sighs, tracing my face for any kinds of injuries.
I hug him- oh shit!
"No." He says after a while.
"What no?"
"No, Aaliya. This thing, it won't work. No, I have to go."
"What? Why?"
"Aaliya, I'm sorry. I can't. Bye."
"Please, Zain. Don't say this." He harshly puts my hands off him and giving one last glance at me, he starts walking away. I keep looking at his back, did he just reject me? I feel like crying, right here, in the middle of this road. But I control the urge, I turn around and start walking in the opposite dirrection, I couldn't afford the parking fee. So I had parked at a shady place. I walk towards it.
"What?"
"Yes. He just walked away." I dictate my story to Yasmnin.
"Oh my goodness. I am so sorry Aaliya." She hugs me.
"He was a rude man."
"Indeed. Would you like something to eat?"
"No, thank you. I'd like to go to sleep."
"Some coco, perhaps?"
"No, thank you, Yasmin. Night."
"Night." She says smiling, giving me another quick hug, I start walking down to my room. Crap! I have to re-consider this Abdullah. He walked into my life as if he owns me. So intimidating. So hot. But that's not the point. The point is, he doesn't know me. What does he know about me? Nil. Zero. I close my eyes and drift off to a dark, undisturbed sleep.
I wake up at the sound of my alarm clock. Crap! 5 am already? I pull myself out of the warmth in my bed and go to shower. Pulling out some of my daily clothes, I settle the dress I wore yesterday. I sigh. Showering and changing my clothes I walk down to the kitchen.
"Morning." says a chirpy Yasmin.
"Early huh?"
"Yep, exams."
"Same here." I smile.
"Oh, Aalu, I forgot."
"Forgot what?"
"This came this morning for you. Just a minute ago. It's addressed to you, obviously. Who would send me first edition books of such famous writers?"
FIRST EDITION! Damn!
"Are you sure it's at the right adress?"
"Yep, obviously. Who is it from?" I tear open the packet and look at the books. Damn it! Such books are to die for. First edition? Wait a second, who is that rich to bring me first edition books of my favourite authors?
Zain!
"It's from him." I shrug.
"You didn't even open it. How'd you know?"
"I opened it, Yasmin. There's no card."
"Look inside some book." She says expecting it to be a love letter or something. I am in no mood to talk about Zain, right now. I just need some time! I open the most expensive books of all. there! a note!
Aaliya
I knew how much you like to read.
Reason why you are an english major.
Hope we meet again.
Zain Abdullah xx
Like seriously? Meet again? As if!
"What does it say?"
"Nothing. It's from him, he hopes we meet again." I say, bored.
"Meet again? Seriously? Oh god, this man is full of crap."
"I know right. I have to go now Yasmin, bye."
"At 5 in the morning?"
"Yeah, I'm just going for a walk." I start wearing my boots. Crap! Zain wants to meet me again. But why? He said he couldn't do it. Then what happened?
"Hey Aaliya." Yasmin says.
"Yeah?"
"Me and Ethan are going out for a drink this night. Jose will also be accompanying us. He's your friend, so I invited him too. So you are obviously coming, right?"
"I am not sure, Yasmin. I have to study."
"Come on Aaliya, just one night, loose yourself."
"Okay. I'll come at 8, is it okay?"
"8 sounds perfect. Thanks." She gleams at me. I roll my eyes.
A drink! That's it.
