Over again

Chapter XII

Zain walked about ten minutes and didn't find anyone who could help them. It was late and dark. He had to go back to the car as soon as possible. Aaliya was probably frightened as she sits alone in a car at the deserted place. Crowns of trees were mercilessly stood and moon light couldn't reach Zain. Battery on his phone was at the end and he was afraid he couldn't call her if something happens. Anyone could come across abandoned car and she was alone inside.
Aaliya was anxiously waiting for Zain to come back. As time went on she realized that he will not return so soon. Few people passed by car and looked at her. She got out of the car and started looking for him. She no longer wanted to sit and wait. It has been more then twenty minutes and no sign from him. She hurried down the street hoping to meet him. She could hear the various sounds from the woods. Aaliya saw two man coming to her. They just looked at her and smiled but said nothing. When they moved away from her, she turned looking at them and walking backwards.
Suddenly she felt a strong arms around her waist. Skillfully she turned and shot person down to face ground. She was lucky she went to the training of self-defense. She was sitting on the back of person under her and lifted his head to see his face. She stopped in shock when she saw that it was...
"Zain!!?"-she shouted.
"Yeah it's me. Will you please let go of me now?!"-he cried out in pain.
"Oh my God. Zain I'm so sorry. You should have let me know it's you. Look what I've done. Come, I'll help you."-she helped him to get up and clean the dust from his clothes and face. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know it's you."
He smiled at her.
"I'm fine. And now I feel much better when I know you can defend yourself. You go girl. That was impressive. Imagine how well you move when you're not in skirt."-he said and whistled.
"What? What do you mean 'when I'm not in skirt'?"-she asked him imitating his voice.
"Oh no no. I didn't mean that. But when you're in your pants or without them. I mean, in something else."
"Okay. Stop. Let's go back to the car."
They hurried back. Zain was ashamed. Because of his carelessness he said so weird comments. Who knows what poor girl thinks now.
They decided to spend the night in the car. They had only one blanket and they both had to shelter in the back seat and cover up. In the morning they will find some way to go back to the city.
Zain was awakened by sunlight that somehow come through the treetops to his face. He started to get up when he felt her. Aaliya's head was on his chest and her arms around his waist. His right hand freely lay on her stomach and his left hand hugged her shoulders. Her hair fell over her face and so she was hiding from the sun. He moved the hair from her face and gently stroked the soft skin of her cheek. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. When she realized her position she quickly moved away from him and dropped her eyes.
"Good morning."-she murmured.
"Good morning. Are we going?"
They got out of the car and went to seek help. They didn't even look at each other again. Awkward silence reigned points around them.
