I walk out into the Garden. Amazing scent of different flowers fill my nose. A huge fountain stood in the middle of the garden, water was flowing inside it, making it a beautiful decoration in between all the flowers.Few people were there, some painting and others just hanging out.

i was walking around, admiring the nature around me when someone bumps into me really hard. I fall backward but two huge arms wrap around me before i hit the ground. i look to see a men in huge sunglasses, look at me. I try to move away but he is so strong and the i can feel his eyes on me through the glasses. I felt fear all of a sudden and his presence made me feel uncomfortable.

"um..excuse me," i say, snapping my fingers in front of him. He shakes his head like he just came out of a trance. I quickly move away from his arms when i felt his grip loosen a little.

"i am soo sorry...i Di-" he starts, but i was in a hurry to get away from him so i cut him off.

"no its alright..umm i should go" i say. For some reason, he doesn't seem to have a good vibe around him.

"no, no..wait..its my fault...i should apologize properly..please let me buy you a drink," He says.

" its ok...i am alright," I say. The men takes off his sunglasses and looks at me hard. It made me shudder a little. I drop my gaze to the ground.

" your so beautiful," He says with a weird smile which i didnt like.

" thank you," i murmur, and quickly walk away as fast as i could. Before heading inside the hotel, i look back one last time and find the men still looking at me.

**********************************************

we all walk into the Hotel Restaurant and ask for a table for 4. Zaid and i set across from each other. He was gone when i went back to the room few hours ago and just showed up few minutes ago while his parents and i were headed here. He plops down on the chair and looks at the menu and i do the same. After we order and wait for our food.

I look around, people were chatting happily and eating. My eyes fall on someone. THe men with the huge sunglasses.

why is he wearing sunglasses inside?

I am not 100% sure where he is looking but, i have a feeling his gaze is on me. To my surprise, he removes his glasses, and gives me a smile. i look away.

The next thing i know is that he is standing at our table.

"hello Mr.Hussan," He says to dad-in-law and extends his hand out. Dad gives him a stern look and shakes the men's hand.

"keif...what brings you here," dad says.

"same as why your here...business," Keif says. He shakes moms hand too and then turns to look at me.

"and this beautiful lady here is?," He says with that same smile. Zaid looks up at that. Keifs gaze made me even more nervous and i started biting my lips. I think Zaid noticed.

"its none of you business who she is and also keep your gaze away from her," Zaid says. Keif laughs and looks a Zaid.

" you never change do you?...who is she?...another toy of yours to play around with?," Keif says.

"shut up..atleast i have a toy...your jealous you have no one to play with," Zaid replies.

so thats what he really thinks of me?

i look at Zaid and he looks at me. I felt hurt. Zaid looks away.

why am i always in the middle of an argument?

it makes me so mad.

"now boys, we are here for dinner, not to act like animals," dad says. Keif looks at me one last time and smiles.

"nice seeing you again," He says, winks at me and walks away. my mouth drops.

Why did he wink at me?

"you met him before?" Zaid asks, he seemed angry.

"when i was in the garden, we just happened to bump into each other," i reply, trying not to show that i am still hurt.

" it looks like you did more than just bump into him," Zaid snaps.

"what do you mean?" I ask confused.

" i think you know very well..did you see the way he acts toward you?" Zaid says.

" first of all, i never did anything to make him try to flirt with and second, why do you care about me so much..aren't i just a toy?" i ask him.

Zaid looks at me with a unreadable expression.

"i dont..." he answers after few seconds and gets up to walk into the bathroom.

a Toy...

his words still rang in my ear. I guess i mean nothing more to him.

what else did you expect?

i watch after him for few seconds and then turn to mom.

" who was that man," I ask her.

"why..he is one of the heir of the Khan Company and the step-son of Riaz Khan," Mom answers.

"Riaz Khan?..you mean he is the stepbrother of Maruf?," i say surprised.

mom nods.

I never knew Maruf had a stepbrother. Riaz Khan is the name of Maruf's father. I guess mr.khan remarried. Maruf lost his mother at birth.

i walk into the bathroom and punch the wall as hard as i could. Anger was boiling up my veins.

what the fuck is wrong with you?

you should have never said something like that in front of her you idiot.

well its not my fault, i get mad whenever someone try's me, i needed a good comeback.

well guess what cute face, that wasn't good, it might have hurt her, you asshole.

i turn on the water and splash water on my face, then trying to get myself together, i head back out.

Zaid comes back from the bathroom. His knuckles were red for some reason, i was about to ask but then hold myself back. . Our eyes meet for few seconds but i look down.

Our food arrives and we all eat and then had back to our rooms.

As soon as we enter, Zaid takes off his shirt and plops down on the bad. I try to look anywhere but his muscular body. I quickly freshen up and turn off the light and then get into my bed.

The moon can be seen, shining brighter than ever through the window. I look at Zaid, the moonlight made his face glow. his jawline was so noticeable and his eyes were closed so i guess he fell asleep. He looked so hot asleep.

WTF?

stop Nadia, look away look away.

remember what he said about you.

well maybe he didn't mean it.

oh yea and Dylan O'Brien knows you exist. PSHH as if.

i force myself to look away and stop thinking about useless things.After few minutes, sleep took over me.

i open my eyes a little to make sure she is asleep. Her face was faced toward me. Her perfect lips were set in a soft line and her long eyelashes made her look so beautiful. i wasn't asleep when she was looking at me. i knew because i felt her gaze on my face. Looking at her now, made my heart beat faster.

Temptations of being close to her, to feel her face and everything of hers filled me, but i had to control myself. I don't even know i how i feel about her. Even though we never have a normal conversation or talk to each other much, her presence next to me feels so amazing, like i want her there forever. I never had the love of my parents as a child, they were always busy with work and business. Maybe that is why i am who i am today. I want her in my life, which i know for sure, but who is she to me? who am i to her? why don't i know my own feelings?

i want to know what she was thinking while looking at me, i want her to share everything in her mind with me.

"mom," she whispers.

I look at her. Her hands were shaking a little. I quickly jump off of my bed and kneel down next to her bed and take her small hand in mine. I squeezed it a little. I could feel her body relax a little. I take my other hand and move a strand of hair away from her face, she moves a little and i hold my breath, hoping she won't wake up.

Zaid what are you doing?..your actually holding her hand?

you never acted like this.

i ignore my inside voice and run my hand through her hair, she was sweating a little. I cant imagine losing you parents at such a young age. It must have been so hard for her. even until now, she has nightmares about them. i want to hold her in my arms and tell her i am here for her.

"i dont know how to tell you how i feel, i dont even know myself," i whisper in her ear.

" i want you Nadia, i need you...thats all i know,"
