The Bad Boy's Girl (COMPLETE)

The Not So Bad Boy

AMIR

I feel so light, peaceful and airy.

Wait, what?

I laugh to myself. Ever since Annie showed me that really fucking creepy and scary video, I prayed and felt pretty happy after it. Satisfied and peace filled. Happy with my life. With my kids. With my wife. For once, i sleep without having to take a pill. For once, I sleep with no dreams that leave me drenched in sweat and fill me up with remorse and regret and sadness as I awaken in the morning or the middle of the night. For once, I don't have to go out and smoke weed or messed up shit like that to get me lightheaded. For once, I don't have to force myself to forget.

For once, I can forget naturally and be myself without haunting flashbacks of my past popping up in my life.

I know I sound way too sappy and happy, but, I can't help the fact that I do feel peaceful. No, I'm not turning into some shitty bearded and practicing Muslim. No way in hell. I'm just being naturally happy for once and I'm glad about it.

I'm glad that the woman, Annie Khan, sleeping soundly like an angel next to me is the one I married.

Because she is the one that showed me to utter happiness.

She gave me happiness. She gave me pleasure and satisfaction, even if it meant that she had to sacrifice her own happiness or health. She gave me everything I could want or need. She made me happy by being happy and optimistic herself. She gave me two beautiful twins that would be heirs to my company that is worth billions.

She gave me so much, and now it's my turn to return the favour.

I wake up in the morning, shuffle out of bed, and brush my teeth with my Colgate. I remember When Muna used to sleep over she used to keep brushing her teeth for a long time, while I couldn't keep it in much longer. My eyes would water and it would sting so much.

I then prepare break fast. Today I will make it, I decide to myself. I will be the best wife I can today for Amir was the best husband he could be yesterday. And so I hush Mina away, and prepare omelette and my famous smoothies along with hash browns Amir always takes with his breakfast.

"Good morning, beautiful." Amir greets me as he enters the kitchen with a bright smile that could light up anyone's gloomy day. I smile back, trying to keep up with his bright smile challenge. I escort Mina to her room so Amir can rest in peace beside he's always annoyed by her.

"Morning, babe." I reply, and just as I set down his plate, he grabs my arm, pulls me in his lap, and kisses me on my collarbone. I shiver, hugging his wrapped arms around me.

"Shush, eat now." I giggle, pulling away, and saying my bismillah. I sit beside him, as he chuckled deeply, a husky sound, and his eyes trailed on me from under his hair, and I blushed; he looked like the player boy himself, except not really a player boy anymore. That was university days. Sigh: if anyone saw me with him other than Muna, my family, and his, they'd freak. Especially from university.. And especially a girl like maybe Janet. I used to get so worked up and jealous when thinking of her but now I just laugh because I know that Amir would never go to her.

Even if he would, he wouldn't mean it.

I could imagine him or her from university; the conversation would go something like this:
