Mariam's POV:
She relaxed and drank her coffee but she kept looking at me differently. This is not the same girl that was my best friend since ever. She is getting married in a week...I get it. It's like she is bragging about him the whole time and I am just like shut up in my head.
"So ya, it's going to be grand!" Nisreen said and I forced a small smile.
She is just acting all fake today and I want to punch her. Would you punch her?
"I hope it turns out good!" I said as I drank a sip of coffee out of my mug and then I placed I placed the mug on the table in front of me.
She talked more and more about Omar and how they are just perfect.
"He owns a huge company!" She said as she showed me pictures of the company and it looked really similar to Shay's company! Weird, right?
"That's good!" I said for the third time this afternoon.
"So, did you get a dress?" I asked her and she nodded.
"It's going to blow everyone away!" She said and smiled. I nodded and looked at my phone in my hand.
I had two messages and I clicked on them. They were both from Shay and so I opened them.
Shane-I am going to be late today,honey!
Shane-Don't wait up!
Me- Why? I asked him because I really don't want to be alone with Nisreen.
Less than a minute later he replied.
Shane- I have work to do today and so I'm going to be off tomorrow! I smiled and looked up to se that Nisreen was staring at my phone screen.
What the hell, man? Can she just leave already?
I replied and told him to hurry up as much as he can. I suddenly don't feel comfortable with her here.
Me-Please come home early xx!
I looked up from my phone and I saw Nisreen on her phone. The contact was named my boy ;) with a wonky face emoji. I thought it was her fiancé so I looked away. Did she think that I was going to get jealous.
What's wrong with this chick? She is crazy.
"Soooo..." I began in attempt to make a conversation with my so called best friend.
Seconds later there was a knock on the door and I didn't know if I should answer it.
Shay isn't supposed to come until tonight.
"Are you going to answer the door?" She snapped and I got up from my seat.
"Yes, I'll be right back." I said as I walked to the door. The knocking increased and sounded aggressive. My heart fell to the ground as I got closer and closer to the door.
What if it's a serial killer or something?
I opened the door only a fraction to see who it was. I sighed in relief and opened the door for him, only to be pushed against the wall in a really tight hug.
"You gave me a heartache!" He said as he kissed my forehead and held me tighter to him.
"I'm fine, your the one who scared me!" I whispered in his ear as I hugged him back.
"I thought some thing happened to you.." He said as he pulled back a little just to kiss my cheeks before pulling me flush against him.
"I'm fine, really!" I said and he didn't say anything. I smiled at his action. He really cared and he came right away. Oh god, Nisreen is still here.
"Shay, I have company!" I said as I tried to get out of his arms.
"I don't care, I was so worried!" He whined and I removed his arms from around me.
I turned to walk away but Nisreen was smirking at us leaning against the counter. How long has she been standing there?
"Well you guys have gotten cozy!" She said sarcastically and Shay tensed up next to me.
"What do you think?" I snapped at her and I heard Shay laugh, so I hit him gently on the back of his head.
"I better get going, it looks like my best friend found a new bestie!" She said sadly and I felt bad for a minute, but I didn't try to stop her!
"You left your bag!" I yelled as she left through the door, but it was too late, she was gone.
I put the bad down and I took a seat on the couch next to Shay!
"I don't want you seeing that girl, I don't like her!" He said as he put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him.
"I won't see her anymore!" I said and he nodded against my head.
"If you have to go to work, you should go!" I said and he shook his head, no.
"No, I took the rest of the day off, because you scared the shit out of me!" He said as he turned to face me.
"Sorry about that!" I said with a sincere tone
"Don't apologize!" He snapped and I was taken by his sudden action.
"Shay, okay I won't, just don't get all mad!" I said to him and then he removed his hand from around me and he put his head in his hands.
"Just stop apologizing for stuff, okay it really pisses me off!" He yelled and I was close to tears already.
He goes from worrying about me to yelling at me!
"Okay, I got it, you don't have to yell about it!" I mumbled to myself and be looked up at me with his eyebrows raised.
"What?" I asked when he didn't say anything.
"I didn't take my medicine today!" He blurted out and I turned to him. What medicine?
"What medicine are you talking about?" I asked him and he closed his eyes in frustration.
"Promise you won't get mad?" He asked and when I nodded he continued.
"I have been taking medicine ever since the beginning of our marriage and they help keep me calm." He said and my eyes widened in surprise.
"Why, do you know that medicine can harm you, not help!" I yelled as I stood up from next to him and pointed straight in his face.
I wasn't just mad, I was furious! He can't just do this behind my back. It's not fair for him. He could kill himself over those peels. Especially when they are addicting.
"Mar..I should have told you earlier!" He said and ignored him.
"You are going to stop taking those damn pills and I will help you stay calm! Alright?! I will not let you when yourself! I will help you and you are going to let me!" I yelled in his face and I have never raised my voice that much.
"Fine, okay just chill!" He said as he stood up and put both his hands on my shoulders.
"I didn't know you would care so much?" He asked and I wanted to slap him.
"Of course I care, you dumbass!" I said as I hit the side of his head with the back of my hand.
He faked hurt and rubbed the place where I hit him.
"Ouch, your so aggressive!" He whined and I laughed at his behavior.
"Now let's go dump that crap, that you call medicine out!" I said as I grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs!
