Destined To Be.

Chapter 35

Ayla,

2 weeks later

Never have I thought bringing two people together would be so thrilling and rewarding. Yep!! Malik and Aqsa's Nikkah ceremony is today.

Yep!! I'm equally as surprised as you all as they wasted no time in wanting to be together. That's how it should be. Feelings shouldn't be kept hidden even if you feel it's unrequited as how would you know if they're not reciprocated.

I mean take these two idiots for instance, Who would have thought that Malik felt the same about my sister if he didn't confess. I pulled away from my musings when I feel a pair of eyes on me. I refuse to acknowledge them as I don't want to betray my emotions and inner turmoil.

James Dean Hudson has done it again. He has bought a plus 1 along , damn if it doesn't hurt like a bitch!. She a blonde, leggy thing, curvaceous and very beautiful. I want to call her a bitch but I can't as she's so damn lovely. I can hear her laugh at something my Abu Jan is saying and I know that she's a keeper.

I mean if you can laugh at my Abu Jan's dead jokes as the poor man is really bad at them , then you're definitely got the seal of approval from our family , not as if James need it but he sure likes to barge in whenever he feels like and my parents and siblings have him deeply rooted in their home and in their hearts.

Frigging man!!!

Why is he challenging me to return his stare if he has another woman by his side? I mean what kind of game is he playing? We're not in secondary school anymore yet the emotions I'm feeling are exactly that of a jealous girl.

"Woah!! Who rattled your cage sis?" Inaya elbows me not to gently.

I sigh and turn towards my sister. We're both wearing matching matching clothes, but my sister rocks the anarkali cream coloured dress as she has a knockout body , curves in all the right places and a few extra inches of height. I on the other hand had to take the dress in , my curves have gone and my stick thin fugure has become a cause for concern to my parents .

"No one, come on let's go and s..."

"What do you think of James and his girlfriend?" Inaya's question throws me off guard as she eyes me with amusement.

"Er , what do I care?" I replied angrily.

"Mhhhhmmm". She folds her arms across her chest and arcs an eyebrow.

"What's that supposed to mean..mhhhmmmm!!" I mimic her back.

"Sis, it's me you're talking to! So cut the crap!" She sighs dramatically.

She's right, who am I kidding!! Bloody James is messing me up again.  I'm torn between guilt and jealousy.  I hate the way I'm feeling!! Ever since he's been back he has messed up my whole body dynamics.  What is it about him that rubs me up the wrong way eh?

The way he smirks.. ughh!
The way he stares...ugghhh!
The way he provokes...uggghhhh!!!
The way he walks, talks and everything damn thing about him!!!...ugggghhhhhh!!!

"Woah sis!! What's with your face?" Inaya looks at me with concern.

"What?" I look at her cute face scrunched up.

" I think our James is really getting under your skin as you are very obvious about your feelings towards him and don't you dare deny it!!" She grabs me by my arm and forces me to turn around.

"Look at him sis?" I have no choice as my sister is very persistent and I know she will make a scene. I begrudgingly oblige and in return my eyes widen as I seen James staring back. He's stops mid sentence and just for a flicker of a moment something passes between us.
