I dare you to comment on each paragraph

KANO STATE, NIGERIA.

"You leave in five hours. Get your friends ready for the trip." Falak finished explaining to Amirah about the trip they've set out for her and her girlfriends, Husna, Lateefa and Kamilah.

Amirah bit her lower lip, staring at Falak and ready to disobey. "Must I go? I want to stay here with Imad, he is still convalescing."

Falak groaned mentally, this woman won't ever leave Imad, that aside but she doesn't even want to take advantage of this and leave the country for some time alone? Doesn't she want to breath fresh air without the man on her neck or the people around? She deserves that much and Falak had be damned if this girl doesn't leave the country in five hours. Even Shaddad acquiesced her idea and borrowed them his private jet, something he's never given anyone.

Amirah could be so innocent when she wants to be. She knows how to web her way through people's life without even trying, she is just like that. Her charisma and personality is fully meant for people like her, to be sweethearts to everyone for she is. Shaddad complimented that too about her and instead of Falak to feel even a tad bit jealous, she didn't. Amirah needs an older brother and Shaddad needs to get off his shell with other people. And she is the best candidate for that, he is moving.

"You must go, Amirah. A private jet will be waiting for you at the airport with your friends. I've told them about it and they are probably getting ready. You should do that too, it'll be better than arguing." Falak stood up with her phone placed to her ear to make sure Shaddad had arranged his pilots for this trip.

Amirah whined, she doesn't want to go. She just left the oncologists ward and went to Imad to find him sleeping then Falak barged in and told her everything they've talked about before he fell back asleep. Actually, he is not sleeping but if he doesn't pretend to be doing so, she will beg him and he will definitely grant her her wishes. This is what she needs, new air and environment with only her friends and daughter. She should think some more about her life from now henceforth cause it's going to change.

He wanted Afaf to join but then found out she just packed to her husband's house and he doesn't want to interject. Maybe they are just getting to know one another. But then, wouldn't honeymoon do good to them? He is just not sure whether he wants the man there with Amirah or not, he wants him far away from his wife. He almost got married to her had he not stepped in, he won't ever trust him again. Never ever going to happen no matter how much the situation has changed.

A man cannot marry two sisters at the same time but what if something happened and Amirah decided that Nazir is worth more than he does? He cannot have that. If Nazir goes there then Imad will be there with them too, end of the story. Insecurity or whatever shit they want to say, he will welcome it but just not Nazir and Amirah in the same place without him. He is not going to freaking have that thing happening under his nose.

His expression became austere and acerbic at the mere thought because seriously, he wants to beat Nazir. Maybe after one fight with him, he will know to never try getting between the two of them even though he was the one who caused everything himself.

Falak finished the phone call and yawed to Amirah, her face stern and grim. "Let's go now. You need to pack up while I call your sister to get her husband ready too."

Imad almost bombed them when he heard that, they are still in his room and he is 'sleeping' his medicine away. Why would Falak invite Nazir when he's just finished visioning surfeit ways to have him denounced? Is she doing this intentionally to make his heartbeat spike up? Amirah really would've heard that had the ECG wasn't removed earlier. He regretted asking Falak to go this to him. Why didn't he call Jabir?

Amirah's eyes widened slightly. Are they taking her whole family to this vacation or what? "My sister is going too?" She is actually happy about that, the duo need this.

Falak nodded before taking her hand, dragging her out the hospital room with a maid holding a sleeping Najla following in tow.

Amirah does not have anything or anyone to succor and endorse her argument since Imad is sleeping. No one could stop a determined princess from doing what she wants, not even the King himself and that, Amirah is hundred percent sure of. She's not haranguing her or anything, she actually adores her determination and she's been her aficionado for a long time. Well determined, successful, beautiful goddess and intelligent woman. Everything Amirah wants to be but none of close to being filled.

They made it out of the hospital, into a car waiting for them and drove to the palace at full speed. Falak explained how things are going to be when they get there and what she should do with those five hours she has there. And basically, she is supposed to pack for Najla and her, get redressed, go back to bid Imad goodbye and hit the road to the airport. Five hours will be much for her, she thought acerbically thinking of ways to stay.

The idea sounds so tempting but how could she leave Imad and Usayma when they needed her the most? She cannot be sure whether Usayma will be there when she comes back and she wants her to be treated like she's promised she would be. And the treatment take almost a month right? And she is supposed to be in Barbados only for a week! Yes, that should be enough time for them to bond up again and she can convince her to stay back.

She said she cannot burden Wafa but that is exactly what she is going to do if she goes back to Chicago. Amirah could see in her eyes that she doesn't want to leave neither does she want to harry her best friend's married life. She shouldn't stay married to Imad but she can stay here and build a new life, can't she? Her marriage with Imad is going to be toxic anyway, she wouldn't want that too. But she should stay in Nigeria till she gets her life figured out.

They arrived at her chamber, Falak literally pushed her off the vehicle and told her to pack up in an hour. Amirah's eyes rounded, she wanted to go in there and cook for her husband. She groaned, took her daughter from the maid and stomped inside the chamber while Falak watched in amusement. Imad is right, this girl can argue for years, she is altruistic and she should be glad she looks cute while doing so.

"Oh, my Gawd! We are going to freaking Barbados in a private freaking fucking jet!" Lateefa came bounding inside the chamber while jumping up and down on her toes.

Husna is grinning from ear to ear and anyone who could see her would see that she's been crying her eyes out of joy. Amirah's heart reach out for the young girl leaving the country for the first time in her life. And she is not going with anything but a royal private jet! Husna was crying as if her grandmother was said to be dead, she was just so happy. Her grandparents and brother were happy too, couldn't contain their gratitude to the prince and Amirah.

That is all for them being kind to Amirah when they had nothing. Imad wants to make sure they lack nothing and that is the first thing he will start seeing through the moment he stands up. They helped his wife in ways he couldn't and didn't abandon her when everyone did, they are true people. She's told him all they did to them, taking care of Najla when they are too busy. That is his daughter they took care of, a princess and they didn't even know that.

So Husna have every right to be happy. Lateefa and Kamilah went to give her a lift and Lateefa is totally shifting Kamilah and Mukhtar. They were so into their staring contest that they didn't notice water falling from the sky! Ha, if this ship doesn't sail she will change her name to anything she sees on a billboard and that is not a fake threat, real one.

Husna rushed to the kitchen where Amirah is making Imad's favorite meal -creamy lemon garlic salmon piccata with delicious creamy caper lemon sauce- and hugged her tight. She finished packing her clothes in less than thirty minutes, not bothering to fold them because she needs to cook this for her husband. When was the last time he had her meal wholeheartedly? She is very sure he's missed it a lot. The other one she did ended up cold without anyone eating it.

That is a lie, Imad woke up in the middle of the night to finish that avocado meal because he couldn't stop himself. It reminded him of his Amirah, why the hell won't he eat it? That was why she went the next day looking for leftovers and found none. She thought the girls ate it before she came but the master did, story for another day anyway.

She dropped the spatula and grinned behind Husna's shoulder. "Stop crying, baby girl. We are just leaving the country and nothing else."

Husna grumbled and moved away, her eyes puffy from too much crying but she still looks so pretty that Amirah couldn't stop herself from pinching both the cheeks only to have it slapped away by her. "It might be just leaving the country but I've never left it even once in my life. Never thought I would anyway. So yeah, I need to be this excited."

"Yes, and I understand." Amirah smiled again, watching in amazement as the girl wiped her tears away.

Lateefa interrupted the moment like always. "O boy, I cannot wait to start snapping in the royal jet. I don't know how Amirah charmed the crowned prince to borrow us his family jet but I'm going to make sure I use it well. I mean, this opportunity comes once!"

Amirah giggled, went back to whatever she is doing while listening to her friends banter on and on about the royal jet. Everyone has heard once or twice about that jet that no one steps into except the crowned prince and his little family, not even his brothers. She cannot believe her luck.

At one go, he just wants her to leave the country and think for herself. He even promised to support her if she doesn't want to stay in the marriage. Wow, the man will definitely have Falak wrapped around his fingers.

"It's time!" Amirah wanted to yell at Falak at that moment for coming in, it's been three hours already and she's been waiting to go see her husband hoping he is awake.

She even took another bath, dressed into the most seductive clothes in Imad's eyes. She wore a short skirt, really short one that stopped around her mid thigh and a crop top underneath the thick abaya she wore on top. She will remove it while serving him the food and maybe, just maybe that will help. He should stop her from leaving him alone and fight tooth and nail for her to be with him while haranguing Falak.

Why? She's been so aphrodisiac since in the morning when she hugged Imad, her pebbles stood straight on her pectoral. Maybe he felt it or was too emotional to do so, she didn't care. She's missed Imad like hell and had never tried anything close to sexual since their first night together. Who even had the time for that? So from the time she's been with Imad for over a month, it kept intensifying with need and pure desire. What? She is a woman with needs.

When they arrived at the hospital, Afaf and Nazir called to tell them they'd meet up in the airport and if Amirah could tell anything from the pants of Afaf, something is going on. She got more naughty with her thoughts while thinking about her sister. She laughed it off because she will tease the heck out of her when they see one another. Afaf already doing the deed, eh? Ah, this is good news and she cannot wait to harry her!

"I don't want to go." She pouted her lips, taking a plate from the sumptuous rack kept inside the hospital room for him.

Imad croaked out, he really did sleep while waiting for them. "But you need it like they've said. None of them will listen to my plea, they are being extremely recalcitrant about it."

Amirah grumbled, wanting to forget about removing the abaya since he plan will not work out anyway but she locked the door and removed it. Her friends are touring around the hospital with Najla clinging to Husna's shoulder so she is all alone with him and doesn't care if anyone will knock on the door now. She will not open it even if Falak is behind the door. Yes, she is totally serious about it.

Imad's eyes shone with uncertainty and curiosity which got quenched the minute Amirah nonchalantly threw her abaya on the foot of the cot he is lying on. She is acting so carefree while serving him food while he stared at her with wide mouth and eyes as she sat on the bed crossed legged to feed him. Her cleavage is showing, the place is a bit lighter than her whole body so it is only natural that his eyes goes to the protuberances.

Unconsciously, his hand went to there and he touched the mounds in his both hands while furrowing his brows when he noticed something amiss. He felt her frisson but disregarded that to the matter at hand, he needs to know more. Three years without her felt like whole life itself so it's only better if he asks the myriad questions in his head. He has a miscellanea of them tight in a sheaf.

"They haven't changed? You know, after giving birth and breast feeding?" He licked his lips, his hands still placed gently on her pectorals, feeling the pebbles beneath his palms.

Amirah shrugged her shoulders, the arousal totally abandoning her. "I was ill then and couldn't breastfeed her."

"Oh." He removed his hand, knowing this is a sensitive topic from the way she is uncomfortably shifting around.

Maybe the abruptio placenta, preeclampsia and post partum hemorrhage did that to her. The topic of her dying won't be something relatively close to what she wants to talk about when she was pure into her sexual needs.

She finished feeding him, washed the plate in the sink and placed it back where it is then lie down on her stomach on the cot facing him. Both her palms are holding up are cheeks as she stared at him, legs swinging back and forth behind her. Imad is not having it so he drew her closer so her elbows are on his chest and head extremely close to his.

"Will you miss me?" She whispered, her voice sussurus and had his attention not been tentatively on them, he wouldn't have heard a thing.

"Is that a question? I don't even want you to go but there is nothing I can do about it." He kissed her cheek, rubbing his palm up and down her back in an emollient way.

She nodded. "Good, because I don't want to go too."

Imad was holding back, he really was but then he drew her in and enveloped her lips with his. It was a surprise though she's expected a kiss from their position, just not that aggressive about it. The distance between their lips erased and Amirah shuddered, her body trembling with need. They've never kissed since that first day at his chamber, but today's own is absolutely her favorite. Or is it because she is aphrodisiac?

The hairs across her arms and nape rise in full alert, she is breathlessly responding to the brutal kiss. Her itching hands are already on his head, tugging the now growing hair between her fingers and listening to his intoxicating groans. She is inebriated, mentally, physically and emotionally too. Her chest is thudding at the loudest but does she care?

A knock then interrupted them and from the glass on the door, Lateefa saw them getting all hot and she blushed before looking away. Those two are like wolves on heat, humping and bumping up and down. She is flushed from head to toe at the show but when Amirah came to open the door after adjusting her abaya, she schooled her expression.

"It's time to leave."

Amirah is still breathing hard and her lips are so plump, she didn't hide that away. She was with her husband not any other man for goodness sake. Imad is cheekily grinning at Lateefa from behind and she shook her head at his naughtiness. That guy!

"Alright. I'll be there in a minute." She turn back around to go back to Imad, eyes glossed.

"Call me the minute you land, hm?" She nodded, pecked his lips and then turn around to leave. If she says anything, she won't be able to leave the room and will cry.

On her way out, she went to talk to Usayma who was already given a bed by Harith. He said there is no time for shenanigans. "Get well soon and wait for me. You hear?"

Usayma saluted, a wide grin endorsing her words. "I will wait for you, your Highness. And don't forget to have fun. Don't be too uptight." Amirah hit her thigh before laughing it off, hugging her and left the room.

Off to Barbados.
