I walked into my house with my mind full of thoughts, I see Melissa sitting on the couch waiting for me. '' Ohh you're home. Finally, so how do you know Nawal? '' She says crossing her arms. '' Melissa, It's none of your business. When are you going back to Canada anyway? '' I say trying to change the subject. '' Don't change the subject! What's going on between you and that terrorist! '' She says standing up walking towards me. I feel my body heat up, how does this whore dare to talk about her like that!

'' Shut up Melissa! Don't you dare say that about her, do you fucking understand!? '' I yell annoyed, she shakes her head. '' I left you for a few months and you fell for a Muslim girl? '' She says looking so frustrated.

'' I don't know what you see in her, I remember in school she used to be a bullied bitch. Everyone beat her and bullied the shit of her, she looked so dumb with that towel on her head. '' She chuckles. My hands balled into fists and the knuckles turned as white as my the color of my house. Now I know how Nawal knows Melissa. Melissa used to be her bully, '' Melissa! Get out of my house now! '' I point at the door, '' Babe, I'm sorry I should've not said that. '' She says pretending to be sad.

'' I'm back Matthew, I'm sorry I was eating out with Loren. '' We hear Ryan coming in, '' Well hello Ryan. '' Melissa says smiling. Ryan looks up confused, '' Melissa, what are you doing here? '' He asks her.

'' I missed Matthew, '' She says smiling and Ryan nods, he takes some steps towards us. '' Bro, you look angry. Did something happen? '' Ryan asks me. '' Yes, Nawal came to talk but she saw me and then ran away. Matthew ran after her. A few minutes after he came back looking all depressed. '' She explains.

'' What? Bro, you good? What happened? '' He says clapping my back, '' Looks like he really fell for a terrorist. '' This time I couldn't take it, she has been talking shit about Nawal since I came back. I pushed her against the wall and my hand was in the air. '' MATTHEW STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! '' Ryan shouts and I stop, '' Calm down, calm down Matthew! '' Ryan tries to calm me down. '' I'm sorry Matthew, please don't beat me. '' Melissa says and putting her hands in the air as a defense.

'' Melissa, get out of my house now! I don't want to see you. '' I say softly. '' Bu- '' She tries to say something but gets interrupted by Ryan. '' Melissa, do as he says. '' He says. '' Ugh! Fine, but I'll come by tomorrow. '' She says and storms out.

I lean against the wall while taking some deep breaths, '' What happened bro? Tell me now! '' Ryan says looking so serious. '' Ryan I did something awful. '' I whisper, '' What did you do? '' He asks me confused. '' I kissed her. ''

'' Who? Who did you kiss? '' He looks at me confused. I take a deep breath before I speak. '' Nawal. '' I say underneath my breath. '' No you didn't, please tell me you didn't! '' He's voice got a little louder. '' When? '' He asks, '' In the elevator, I confessed my feelings for her and just kissed her. '' I explain.

'' But why did she come here? '' He asks me again. '' She wanted to talk things out, she saw Melissa who was her high school bully and ran away. When I caught her she told me that I was a liar and I was lying about my feelings. '' I explain. I hear him take a deep breath, '' You really messed up. '' He says leaning against the wall beside me.

'' I know, you don't have to remind me. '' I whisper.

I was sitting at the bus with my tears flooding from my cheek, what's wrong with me?! Why am I so weak! When I saw Matthew shirtless with Melissa my heart dropped. How could he do this, he told me he liked me. Why would he do something like that to me, and with Melissa?! Melissa is the one who made my life a nightmare. She used to beat me and drag my scarf in front of everyone, she was the mother of the bitches. How dumb could I be wasting my time to go to his jerk to solve everything out?! UGH!

I walked into Leila house and heard that Saja was there too, I walked into the living room and saw Saja, Leila, and Jacob sitting there. '' Jacob? '' I look at him confused. '' Nawal, long time no see. How are you? '' He asks me, '' I'm fine, thank you. What are you doing here? '' I ask him and he smiles. '' Well I wanted to give my client some information about the trial. '' He says and I nod.

I take a seat beside Saja on the couch. '' So do you still work at the company? '' He asks looking at me, I nod. '' Yes. ''

'' I'm impressed, Matthew must be treating you really good. '' He smiles, '' Yes, really good. '' I fake smile and look at Leila who looks really curious.

Walking into the company was the hardest thing I ever could do, I don't want to see Matthew. When I walk into the company I see everyone staring at me and whispering about me. I Ignore it and just walk into the elevator. '' Wait for me, Nawal! '' I see Loren running towards the elevator. I stop the elevator from closing. She walks in, '' Good morning beauty. '' She says smiling. '' Good morning Ryan's wife. '' I chuckle, She slaps my arm. '' Shut up. '' I see her face heat up and I burst out laughing.

'' Loren, can you please bring coffee to Boss, I don't want to meet him right now. '' I say looking down, she looks at me confused. '' What? Why? '' She asks me, '' It's a long story. '' I tell her. '' Oh, I wish I could do that for you but there's something I gotta do. '' She says with an emotional face.

I sigh and nod.

I hear the door up and someone walking in, I look up and see Nawal looking down with my coffee in her hand. '' Your coffee. '' She says and puts it down on the desk. I look at every action she does, she looks at my eyes for a second then she directly looks down. '' Then I'll not disturb you anymore. '' She says and walks to the door, I stand up and ran to the door. I lean against the door and stand in the way for her. '' Please Matthew, I don't have time for this. I have work to do. '' She says looking up at me.

'' I decide if you have work to do or not, I'm the boss! Now let us talk about yesterday. '' I say seriously. '' Matthew- '' She tries to say something but I interrupt her. '' Melissa is my ex, she came back from Canada and had nowhere to go so she came over to me. Nothing happened between us. '' I explain.

'' I don't feel anything for her, nothing. '' I say again. She looks at me like she wants me to continue.'' She told me everything about her bullying you in school, after that I threw her out of my house. '' I say and she looks much calmer. '' I don't feel anything for anyone but you. ''

'' You need to understand that I love everything about you, your beauty, your smile, your actions, your humor, and everything else that has something that involves you. '' I see her eyes tearing up. '' You're the first woman I've ever felt in love with, I don't know how you made me fall for you. But all I know is that you're a genius. '' I smile at her and she looks at me shocked. '' I really love you. I never planned on loving you this much or even liking you this much. '' I say while I wipe her tears away with my thumbs.

'' but my feelings for you are absolutely insane ''
