Destined To Be.

Chapter 34

James,

The last few days I have thrown myself into completing the changes in the house. I want it over and done with and also to keep my mind occupied. If I don't,  I know I'll go crazy. Ayla has taken over my damn existence! There's no peace whatsoever!

I thought gatecrashing the meeting between a potential new husband was going to be easy. I had it all planned out. I was going to pretend that I was meeting someone and act surprised when I see Mrs khan. Well that plan went down the shithole. As the man was a friendly bastard and he's mother was ever so sweet. I couldn't do it! I knew Ayla hated having me there, no eye contact and interaction at all between us but that's fine by me. I wanted her on edge and she was.

How can she even think about marrying another man when I know and she damn well knows that there is something between us. It always will be, wether she wants to admit it or not. She's has become even more stubborn over the years.

Motherfuckkerrrrrr!!!

I feel the pain to late as I realise that I've just whacked my thumb with the hammer. I drop the tool which lands on my foot, lucky I'm wearing my safety boots , however the pain shooting from my thumb has me dancing a weird dance as if that's going to help any.

Stupid, bloody woman!!

Damn, stubborn woman!!

Bloody Ayla !!!

I look down at my thumb and make my way towards the freezer. I open it to see only ice cream . Great!!! I need to do a proper shop as lately Farren and Mrs Khan has been sending food over , which has resulted in only shopping for the essentials.

If I don't get ice on it and soon, it's going to get worse. I grab my keys and make my way out the house towards the Khans. I give a sigh of relief when I see that Ayla's car is not parked outside.

Good!!

Damn woman gets me on edge and flustered , with her big, blue eyes and permanent scowl whenever she sees me.

I knock on the door and it opens up to reveal the big blue eyes and scowl I so wanted to avoid.

What the hell!!!

What is she doing here!!

My face must have given away my thoughts as her scowl deepens even further , she then quickly turns without a word and make her way down the hallway.

Ahhh, what a woman I have fallen for!!! A bloody , beautiful ice Queen!! Even the way she walks sends a shiver down my spine. My throbbing thumb brings me down from my pathetic musings as I follow her down and head to the kitchen where I hear voices .

Ayla has now settled herself on a sofa , flicking through a magazine, purposely ignoring me. Mrs Khan turns around from the stove and her face lightens up, well at least I can count on her.

"James dear, how nice, you're just in time for tea." She comes over and stills when she sees me cradling my thumb which is not looking good at all.

"What have you done?" She gently takes my hand into hers and inspects the damage.

"Ayla, get some ice from the freezer please!" She guides me towards the dining table. "Quick my Loohri!!"

I see Ayla rolling her eyes and my gut stirs as she gets on her feet . She throws me a glare which I return with a smirk. She rewards me with the middle finger and fuck me if that doesn't do something to me.

Something has changed since yesterday evening and I like it!!

"James , you okay dear?" I see the concern in Mrs Khan's voice. " you seem flushed!" She puts a hand on my forehead.
