"Hey, Karim, what's up, man?" Isco's sleepy voice sounded slightly muffled through the phone.

"Isco, hello."

"Why are you whispering? Where are you?"

Karim made a face, "I'm in the Airport's toilet, sitting inside a cubicle. I need your help."

Isco took a second to reply, "WHAT!?"

"I'm going to Dubai, remember?" Karim muttered.

"Yes, to meet Shaheen but that doesn't explain why you've locked yourself up in a bathroom. Karim, where you trying to smuggle any sharp objects? Is the Police after you? Because, it's okay, I once got caught with a pair of scissors I'd mistakenly put in my backpack. They don't really arrest you for such small accidental offences. Karim, do you need a lawyer?"

"Isco, stop. Let me speak. I don't have sharp objects, okay? The Police is not chasing me. You need to watch a few less of those Bond movies, they're making you crazy. I need your help because I'm going to meet Shaheen BUT RAPHAEL IS COMING ALONG!"

"That little-HE CAN'T GO AND SPOIL MY SHARIM SHIP, I'm telling you. I won't let this happen. I've waited so long for you and Shaheen to meet, fall in love some more, get married, have little Sharim babies and now this RAPHAEL IS BECOMING THE ICEBERG TO MY SHIP NO NO NO!"

Karim blushed, "Isco, Raphael doesn't mean any harm, you know. He's just oblivious and he's my best friend."

Isco rolled his eyes, "Your best friend who's going to steal your almost-girlfriend. I say we take it up a notch. Don't you worry, Karim, I'm going to save this ship."

Twenty minutes later Karim was on the plane sitting beside Raphael trying very hard not to let his leg beat too loudly on the floor.

"Karim, Raphael, what a surprise!"

If it wasn't for the voice that he recognised, Karim would have looked up anyway to see who was expressing surprise in such a made-up manner.

Jese bounded towards them, shouldering a small bag, a Hawaii garland around his neck, sunglasses slipping of his nose and smiled, "Amigos, who would have thought I'd find you two on board for Dubai?"

Here Jese winked very hugely at Karim. Karim stared at him, wondering what sort of secret message was there in the wink. What is Jese doing here? Why is he winking so oddly at me? It's freaking me out! And why is he dressed like a stereotypical tourist?

Jese took the seat across the aisle and whispered, "Isco sent me. I'm the man who's going to save your ass."

My ass is going to die in his worthy hands. He can't even whisper. The whole plane must have heard him.

"What's he saying?" Raphael quirked a brow.

Karim laughed off nervously, "Just cracking some inside jokes. Haha. Between me and the boys."

"He sounds a bit...is he okay?" Raphael lowered his voice. "He sounds very maniacal and why does he keep winking at you?"

"He-er-He has an eye issue, an allergy, I think?"

"Woah, that's-I need to hang out with you guys more often. I seem to hardly know Jese," Raphael flashed an apologetic smile towards Jese who growled offensively.

As the plan began to take off, Jese shouted across the aisle, "Don't worry, Karim. I have a plan. I was thinking we could lock him in our hotel for the week. I promise I will feed him."

Before Raphael could ask, Karim quickly said, "He's taking about his pet lizard."

"Oh," Raphael nodded slowly, highly confused at the new range of facts he was getting about Jese.

"Or we could embarrass him in front of Shaheen so she would never be able to-"

Karim cut Jese off, "Wow look at those clouds over there, guys."

As his best friend looked out, Karim glared at Jese pointedly. Let's not discuss the plans in front of the guy himself. Curb the excitement for God's sake, Jese!

And I need to calm down. This isn't all bad. Cristiano was accompanied by James and Gareth when he went to meet Zarine. Maybe these two will prove lucky for me.

Maybe not.

I think not.

Because Isco's #Sharim will be drowned by #Shaphael.

Shaphael. Eww, it sounds so bad. Nope, definitely not letting that happen.

Never in a million years.

[ We know Jese is no longer in RM but that doesn't mean he won't be in this story anymore. In fact, he's a very important character as you guys can see xD
