EXTRA MILE FOR LOVE

30: The new friendship

"Hey, Good morning." Najma declared with a killer smile , opening those big , appealing eyes of hers as she walked calmly to Nabil in the garden who was having his breakfast there. "Privacy " He said to the security that was standing behind him with a newspaper, He handed the newspaper to him and left them.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of you gracing me with your presence?" I can see you've recovered already." He announced as he took a sip from the cup of coffee that was in his right hand. "Nothing special, I should have Known that people like you don't deserve nice things. I'm just being the sweet Najma that I'm." She rolled her eyes in an intriguing way that always made her look Irresistible.

"It looks like you desperately want me to kiss you in front of everyone?" He asked as he looked into the newspaper that was in his hand. "Huh? What's wrong with you? Why would I want that?" Najma was addled.

"I remember that I told you to stop wearing such face anytime you're around me. But It seems it's been done deliberate to call my attention. I'd soon give you that attention you're looking for." He declared with his eyes still on the newspaper.

"Come on. Just listen to me and why I've come over here." She pouted as she snatched the newspaper away from him. This time he had the chance to take a proper look at her dress as she was standing. She was wearing a purple colored flayed gown and a purple veil wrapped on her head. He never knew purple could be this beautiful. As usual, he decided that she brought out the beauty in purple.

"Stop staring at me like this." She rolled her eyes as she sat down. "Fine, What do you want? Tell me whatever It is, If It's about going out later on, I'd see to that. I mean I don't even have a choice since it's an order from Aunty."

"No It's not about that. I just wanted to thank you properly for all that you did for me last night . Thank you so much, I'd forever cherish it. I owe you one." She declared with a smile. "I don't want you to owe me, why don't you repay the favor since that's what you want."

Najma rolled her eyes exasperated, she felt like standing up to beat him to a pulp. "Are you going to accept the thank you In Peace or what? Thank you if you want to be thanked." she said.

"You're welcome if you want to be welcomed." He mimicked the way she spoke. "There's no way I talk like that , stop It" She laughed. "Okay Madam." He replied.

By now he figured out Najma didn't like the name he calls her with, her facial expression always gave her away. "Please stop calling me with that name!" Najma pouted.

"Okay then. What do you want me to call you? My rose?" A blush escaped her lips. He has noticed that since the day they met for the first time. She truly adored that name. "Yes you just said It." She chuckled.

"Okay my rose It is then. But I've a condition though." He said. "I'm all ears!" She replied eager to hear what sort of condition would he possibly have. "You've to call me with that name you called me with when we were held captive." Now Najma had to do some brainstorming, She remembered calling him all sorts of names there.

"Ohh I remember which name. I caught you blushing when I called you with the name." She teased. "Oh come on! I'm not a barbie princess like you." He sulked his face.

"Now I don't wanna tell you. Why do you always have to switch up so fast like this? We were just laughing and having fun some seconds ago , now what's with the face?" She asked raising both eyebrows.

"This is how I'm." He declared. "Or this is how you're forcing yourself to be, don't even say a word again or else I won't call out the name." She pointed her index finger at him. He bursted out into series of laughter that always melted Najma's heart. Such a beguiling sight to behold!
