Y A S M I N

The kiss was slow yet it hold something, a feeling I can't fathom. Snaking his hands around my waist, he pulled me more to his body. Even with the water pouring on us, I still felt the heat radiating off my body. The kiss didn't last longer when a loud sound echoed from the room, pulling us apart from each other. Suddenly the water stopped pouring, I don't know how it happened, I heard the movement of Marwan.

Maybe he stopped it

but how did the water break out in the first place

I didn't dare to look up. I was beyond shy. It's as if my foot was glued to the floor, I couldn't move. The sound began again.

"I think you need to take that call. " Marwan said, his voice cracking at the end.

I think I'm going to give that someone a piece of my mind for interrupting us

Poor you

I ran out of the bathroom, water dripping from my clothes and took my phone from the night stand. My brows crinkled seeing Sis Farah name flashed across the screen.

why is she calling in this late night

I press the call back button, hoping all is well. She picked at the second ring.

"Assalamu Alaikum" I salam-ed

"Yasmin. " I heard her whispering voice from the other end.

"Sis Farah is everything okay?"

"Yasmin. " she called again.

I'm starting to get impatient. "Say something sis. " I want to know if she's alright and I'm feeling uncomfortable with the wet clothes I'm wearing. "Okay, calm down and tell me. " I added

"I'm pregnant" she finally said.

Did I just hear her say pregnant

"Alhamdulillah I'm so happy for you." I squeal in excitement.

I can't wait to hold my second niece.

"Thank you Yasmin, I'm sorry I called late I just couldn't contain my happiness. "

"That's so sweet of you, how's baby Zara. " i asked. she let out a sigh.

"Zara is doing just fine, how's Marwan. " talking of Marwan brought earlier event back.

"He's fine. "

"Masha Allah, I want to talk to you about something, I will call you tomorrow. "

"Okay Goodnight take care of my new niece. "

"Insha Allah. "

I was about to return to the bathroom when my eyes met with Marwan.

Ya Allah

Has he been standing there all this while

"I thought you left?" my words came out as a question.

"Yeah, I was about to when I heard your worried voice. " he said calmly.

"Oh.. yes, it was my sister," "and everything is fine" i added.

"Okay. " he stood there still not leaving. Not knowing what to do, i took a fresh clothes from the wardrobe. "Let me get changed. "

"Okay good night. " I trekked to the bathroom followed by the closing of door. I changed the drenched clothes into a new one.

I couldn't sleep that night, constantly tossing and turning on the bed with many thought running in my head.

I wonder how he feels about the kiss.

How will I act around him tomorrow.

I groaned throwing the pillow out of the bed. I was so engrossed in my thoughts not knowing when I drifted off.

***

The rays of daylight illuminate through the room, I woke up with an exhausted eyes due to the lack of sleep.

I didn't step out of my room since morning, mainly not wanting to meet Marwan.

The living room was quite, no sign of Marwan, Maybe he left for work or something but today is Sunday. Just then I heard footsteps, knowing exactly who it was Marwan

He was dressed in a simple casual wear, his black hair shining more brightly and his face doesn't look like someone who is bothered by something unlike me.

I think I'm the only one thing about it

"Good Morning wife. " he proclaimed in a teasing manner.

wait where did that come from

"Morning Husband. " I answered equally.

it seem like he's not bothered by what happened last night, so it's better i forget about it.

I always get my hopes high.

"Is my wife being romantic?" he folded his arms across his chest with an amusement smile.

"You said it yourself and I answered equally. " I shrugged making my way to the kitchen with the motive to make some milkshake, what I've been craving for since morning.

"Wait Yasmin. " he said stopping me on my tracks. "What happened to your eyes, they look swollen. "

Okay now where at it again

what should I say? that I couldn't sleep because I kept thinking about the kiss. I decided not to make myself embarrassed because I don't know what he thinks about it.

"Nothing." I replied back trying to keep myself calm.

"But it was fine last night. "

its like he's asking on purpose.

I went away completely ignoring his words. this man is trying to make me spill the beans.

"How are you Sis Farah and Zara and-" After having an awkward conversation with Marwan, I went up to my room and saw a missed call from Sis Farah. I remembered she told me she wants to talk to me. So I called back getting curious about what she's going to speak to me about.

"Oh we're all fine no need to call names. " I chuckled at her remark.

"Okay I won't, so now tell me what you wanted to speak to me about. " I was getting eager.

"Getting impatient are we?" she teased.

"Seriously Sis Farah tell me about it already. " I whined.

"You know you're married now, so quite acting like a teenager. " she have started with her big sister thing now.

she heaved out a sigh. "First let me ask you something. "

"Sure"

"Are you happy with your marriage?" i didn't expect this question from her. "I mean is your husband good to you?" she corrected. I know ever since our marriage, things we're fine no any problem, and Marwan had been treating me good, even though we argue sometime but that doesn't count as fighting. He's been nothing but good to me, besides he made it clear that he's not going to hurt me but i don't know for later.

"Yes Sis Farah, he's treating me good. " I confessed.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to hide anything from me I'm your sister. " her voice sounds serious.

"That's the truth Sis. " i wasn't sure if things will change between us, i hope not.

"Okay good, know that marriage is not a play thing it's a life thing commitment, I don't wang what I went through to happen to you also. " she said in one of her voice she used when she's serious.

"Insha Allah. " we spoke for awhile before she hung up. For some reason, her words kind of steered something inside me.

what if he's just been kind to me out of pity for the sake of the unplanned marriage.

Or maybe he has other motive for being kind to me.

What if last night didn't mean anything to him. All this thought ran through my head without an answer to them. I need to talk to him. I don't want to be hurt later on. I know that deep down i feel something for him.

Walking to his room, i find it empty, so I descended down finding it empty also. maybe he's in his office. Mr workaholic. making my way towards his office, I knocked on the wooden door, after a while I heard his deep voice.

"Come in. "

I peeped my head inside and saw him working on his laptop. "I will come back later. " I stated ready to close the door.

"No come in, I'm done with the work already. " he said shutting down the laptop. I sat on his brown leather couch, placing my palms on my lap.

"I want to ask you something?" I said.

"Okay I'm all ears. "

"What are we?" i said straight to the point.

My eyes widen almost immediately, my knees felt weak. My heart hammered in my chest, I stared at him in total shock

What just happened.
