" but my feelings for you are absolutely insane,'' he says softly, I look at him confused. How can Matthew, one of the richest persons in the world like me? He could get any girl he wants, what does he see in me? I'm just a poor Muslim who is useless. '' Matthew, why me? You could have all the women you want. Why me? '' I stutter while I feel my body shaking.

He takes some steps closer to me, '' Nawal, you need to understand that you're a woman who is different from any woman else. I don't know how to explain this, but something you do makes me wanna jump out of an airplane. '' A big hot smile appears on his face.

I feel my heart pound in my throat, I just stare at him I don't know what to say. '' Nawal say something. '' He says. I bite my lower lip before I open my mouth. '' To be honest Matthew I don't believe your words. I mean how can you- '' He interrupts me by taking my hand and placing it in his chest. I feel his chest pounding really fast, I become really warm.

'' Do you believe my words now? '' He gives me small smile and I feel how nervous I become, he's making me sweat.

'' Matthe- '' I try to say something but get interrupted by someone opening the door, I immediately let go of Matthew's chest. We turn around and we see a girl that I've never seen coming in, '' Matthew! '' The girl throws her self at him. '' I missed you! '' She says while hugging his waist. I feel how angry I became like I was jealous. '' Ariana, I missed you too! '' He says, I roll my eyes and look at them. '' How could you not visit your sister! '' She slaps his arm, oh, she's Ariana. Matthew told me about her, she is his sister from another mother. I feel much calmer now, wait why do I even care?

'' I'm sorry Ari, I've been busy all this time. '' He answers her, She smiles and nods. She looks at me, '' Hi I'm Ariana, Matthew's sister. '' She says shaking my hand. '' I know, I'm Nawal. I'm Mr.Bayaroads assistants assistant '' I say and smile back. '' Ohh, okay. So you're new? '' She asks. '' Well you could say that. '' I say.

We stand there with silence between us all '' Did I interrupt something? '' She asks nervously and I immediately shook my head, '' No, No of course not! '' I look at Matthew who's looking down while shaking his head. '' Well, I'm not going to disturb you anymore. '' I say and I'm about to walk out when I feel Matthew grabbing my arm, I look at him confused. '' Meet me later. '' He says loudly, I look at his sister who looks at us confused. I turn around to look at Matthew. '' Boss, I do- ''

'' Nawal, do as I say. '' He says looking at me so serious. '' Fine. '' I say and walk out.

After she closes the door I take a deep breath, I look at Ariana who looks at me with her eyebrows furrowed. '' I hope there's nothing going on between you two. '' She says, I look at her confused. '' What do you mean? '' I ask her. She takes some steps closer towards me, '' You know how dad feels about Muslims. You know he hates them. '' She says softly, I shake my head. '' Ariana, I don't care what dad thinks. '' I tell her and she looks at me confused. '' So you really like her? '' She asks me with her eyes wide open. '' Let's not talk about it now, so how's your mother and brother doing? '' I ask her trying to change the subject.

'' Just fine, you should visit us sometimes. '' She grins, '' Of course, I missed you all. '' I say and she chuckles. '' Um... So I heard Ryan was back in California, Is that true? '' She asks nervously, '' Mhm, his working here too, why? '' I ask while looking at some work papers. '' Nothing, just wondering. ''

All the employees have gotten home and I texted Nawal to meet me downstairs, I walk out of the elevator and see her standing beside the entrance. I walk towards her and see her smiling at her phone. '' Nawal, why do I always catch you smiling at your phone? '' I ask her, She looks up at me. '' Oh, I was just texting Leila. '' She says nervously. '' Fine, come with me. '' I say.

'' Matthew, It's about to get dark and my parents will worry. Where do you want to take me? '' She says crossing her arms. '' It's a surprise, It won't take long. '' I tell her and she sighs. '' Fine. '' She says and we walk towards my car.

In the car we sit silently until I decided to break the silence. '' Who was that guy who you flirted with yesterday? '' I ask her, I feel her looking at me angrily. '' Flirt? Are you serious? How can I flirt with my brother's friends? '' She frowns. I turn my face to look at her, '' Your brother's friend? '' I ask her confused. '' Yes, Afif is my brother's best friend and asked him about my brother. I would never flirt with him. '' She says.

'' Oh, I thought he was a guy you liked or something. '' My response sounded so dumb but I did think that. '' Are you kidding me? I've never liked anyone but you! '' she accidentally shouts.

I look at her confused, '' You like me? '' I see her looking down and I see her face becoming red. '' Why can't I shut up sometimes! '' She mutters and I grin. Does she really like me? I thought she hated me after the kiss? '' Nawal you like me? '' I ask her again.

'' Yes dumb bitch! What do you think?! '' She shouts, I feel my heart light up and a big smile appears on my face. '' So you like me? '' I wink at her. She looks at me and rolls her eyes, '' Dumb bitch. '' She says and I burst out laughing.

We arrive at the beach and park the car, '' The beach? '' She looks at me confused. I smile and get off of the car. I see her walk out behind me, '' What are we doing here? '' She asks. '' Don't you like the beach? '' I ask her confused. '' Yes I do, but I don't why would we come here? ''

'' Let's just take a walk. '' I say. We walk in the sand barefoot and holding our shoes, I look at Nawal who looks at the beautiful sunset '' So you really like me? '' She asks nervously, I look at her. '' You still don't believe? '' I furrow my eyebrows.

'' No It's not that, It just that I'm shocked... I thought you would like a model or something. I mean who would like a useless Muslim? ''

'' No It's not that, It just that I'm shocked... I thought you would like a model or something. I mean who would like a useless Muslim? '' I chuckle, He looks at me with his left eyebrow raised. He holds my hand and stands in front of me, '' You'll never be useless for me. '' He kisses my hand. '' Eww, what's up with these pickup lines. You've probably said that to every girl you've looked at. '' I say and he laughs.

'' How should I make my princess believe my words? '' What he said made my heart tickle. Ugh, can he shut up for once? '' Sure, I'll try to believe you. '' I say rolling my eyes. '' You know I like you. '' He pets my check. I slap his hand. '' Stop, Dumb ass. '' I say and he burst out laughing.

'' So now when we confessed our feelings to each other does that mean we're dating? '' He asks and I raise my left eyebrow. '' Just because I said I like you doesn't mean I want to date you. There are hotter fishes in the seas, and you're definitely not one of them. '' I say trying to hold in my laugh. He looks at me with a straight expression, '' Then I'll help you find these fishes you're trying to find. '' He says and carries me in bridal style. He runs to the water with me in his arms. '' MATTHEW DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE! LET ME GO!! '' I yell and I hear him laugh. He got into the water and he started to spin around. '' PLEASE LET GO I CAN'T SWIM. '' I shout again.

'' How would you find these fishes if you can't swim? '' He chuckles. '' Please let me go! I'm going to cry. '' I scream.

'' Tell me you love me first. '' He says and I look at him confused. '' No! I hate you! '' I say, he almost dropped me as I screamed. '' If you don't tell me that you love me I'll make you suffer. '' He winks at me. '' Okay, okay! I like you! '' I say and he looks at me. '' Goodbye, '' He says and drops me in the water.

I feel surrounded by water for a few seconds. When I stand straight I see him laughing. '' I will fucking kill you. '' I say and push him to the water and he pulls me with him. I feel myself landing on his chest. '' I fucking hate you! '' I shout, I sit in the water, I was too tired to get up. I look up and see him reaching his hand for mine. I take his hand and he pulls me up. '' I hate you. '' I say fixing my wet scarf. '' I'm sorry cupcake. '' He laughs, '' Don't talk to me, '' I say and I'm about to walk out of the water when he pulls me to him. I bump into his chest, '' Ouch. '' I say and he chuckles. He lifts my chin up and I look deeply into my eyes.

'' So you're mine now? '' He asks smiling, I take a deep breath before I speak. '' I guess... '' I sigh.

A second later I felt his lips pressing mine.
