Asaal.
This week is our last week in Spain and I have had so much fun, today we're throwing a party at our villa in the evening and we're currently getting everything ready
"Have you put the fairy lights outside?" I asked one of the maids
"Someone is doing that already" she said
"Good, can we all hurry up! It's already 4:30!" I shouted
Then Nurain entered the house with some other decorations
"Quickly collect that from him, go and start decorating!" I shouted
A maid quickly rushed towards him and collected the stuff
"Stop stressing yourself out, go and rest, it's almost time for the party" Nurain said
"I have to make sure everything is okay" I said
"This is Spain not Nigeria, go and start getting ready" Nurain said
"GUYS! YA JAMEELA AND NUSAIBA ARE COMING!" Ihsaan screamed while entering the house, she looked annoyed and frustrated
"Huh?! Who invited them?" Assad asked from upstairs
"I don't know" ihsaan said
"Who are those?" I asked
Then they all looked at me
"Uh... you don't have to know just go and get ready" Nurain said, I looked at them and they all looked at me suspiciously, what are they hiding
"What are you guys hiding" I asked
"Nothing, just go and get ready" Nurain said holding my shoulders
I arched a brow
"Your faces are giving you away" I said
"I'm serious there's nothing" Nurain said
I looked at him, then I nodded my head, I went upstairs and I entered the room, I took a quick shower and came out, i moisturised my skin and put on my undies, I had to redo my hair again so I packed it into a sleek bun, I went into the closet and picked out my navy blue silk fitted evening gown, it was so beautiful, front part was lowered and stopped right above my boobs, it was also a long sleeve puffy hand dress, I put it on then I did my make up, and as usual it was light make up, I put on my silver necklace that had a blue sapphire crystal on it and matching earrings, then I sprayed perfume on my dress and put on my silver jimmy choo heels, I look like a princess! No wait I feel like I'm in bridgeton!

"Asaal, come downstairs, a lot of people are already here!" Ihsaan shouted
I looked at the time, and i was already late! Shit! I left the room and locked the door and I went downstairs
"Asaal, kill me already, what?! This beauty has to be shared!" Ihsaan shouted
"Thank you so much, you look really pretty too!" I smiled
"Where's everyone?" I asked
"At the poolside" she said
I carefully walked to the pool side and I saw everyone there, I didn't expect this much people, how am I going to handle this crowd, I started playing with my fingers and tried to calm my self down.

Nurain.
Beautiful! Elegant! Gorgeous! She's everything, her navy blue dress brings out everything, it shines on her as it should, I can't keep my eyes off her, i kept on looking at her then i noticed she was playing with her fingers, then she started taking deep breaths in and out, I dropped my juice and quickly walked up to her
"Hey" I smiled at her, then I held her hand
She smiled back and calmed down
"It's okay, come and stay with me, the juice is really good" i said still looking at her
I led her to the juice bar with my her hand still in hers, I got juice for her and then we sat together
"You look so beautiful" I said
Then she smiled, the smile I love seeing
"Thank you, you look good too, is there any girl you're trying to impress tonight?" She asked
"Yes" I said
"Really? What's her name" she asked
"I think it's Aisha, she has very high standards, it's almost impossible to impress her" i said looking at her
"What's she wearing let me go and talk to her" she asked
"She's wearing this navy blue dress that's shines on her, she's almost white, so it fits her perfectly, then the jewelry she's wearing just compliments everything, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as her" i said meeting her eyes for approval, she chuckles and then she looks me in the eyes
"Maybe Aisha is actually impressed, who knows" she says
"Nurain!" I hear some one shout
It was Khalid, he came over to our table with Nafisa and I stood up and Hugged him, Asaal stood up and hugged Nafisa
"Welcome to Asaals party" I said, then I looked at her and she was talking to Nafisa
"Let her be bro, let's sit down and talk she'll be fine with Nafisa" Khalid said
Then I looked at her again
"Sorry bro, I have to be at her side at all times, she has really bad social anxiety, her panic attacks could start at anytime" I said
"Fine then let's all sit together" Khalid said
"Great idea" I said
"Nafisa come let's sit with Nurain and Asaal" Khalid said
They both turned to us
"Let's all have a conversation" Khalid said
Then they both came over to us, Nafisa sat down close to khalid and Asaal sat down close to me, I held her hands to know when she's having her attacks
"The both of you are so weird—
"I'm going to slap you! Where's Nurain?!" I heard someone say, it sounded like, Jameela
"Where's Asaad?!" The other person shouted, Nusaiba
Jameela and Nusaiba
"Who invited them?" Khalid whispered
"I have no idea" I whispered back
"Who are they?" Assal whispered too
"My cousins, they're obsessed with me and Assad, so we have to deal with this" I said
I was about to stand up, but Asaal held my hand
"Let me handle this, please Khalid and Nafisa make her comfortable, I'll send Hanifa to this table" I said
Then she let go off my hand and I went over to them.
"Jameela!" I smiled
"Hello love" she smiled back
Then she hugged me

Asaal

"Please who invited those two bitches?" Hanifa said coming to my table
"I have no idea, everyone has been asking the same question" Nafisa said
"Probably Zarah, she just wants to crash my party" i said
Then the DJ started playing music the first song that came on was "Heat waves" I just sat down and kept on looking at Nurain and Jameela, my full attention was on them, I don't know when I became this obsessive or should I say jealous but my heart was aching so bad, I wished that was me, I started looking round at people and everything seemed to much, I started playing with my fingers to calm my self down, it's not working, then my panic attack started I started breathing in and out heavily, I could hear people talking around me but I couldn't understand a word, everything was becoming blurry, tears where coming out my eyes, I was still in my panic mode and then I felt someone carrying me away from the place
"Asaal calm down, it's me, Nurain" I heard him say
I kept on breathing in and out heavily
"Asaal, everything is okay, no need to panic, I'm not going anywhere" He said
It's okay Asaal, he's here for you, stop all this, i started crying again and the heavy breathing stopped, Nurain was in front of me, I was on a chair sitting down, then he sat down close to me, and I hugged him and I crying in his chest
"All of you should leave, go back to the party, Ihsaan handle everyone" Nurain said
"Is she going to be okay?" I heard Ruqaya ask
"Yes" Nurain said, stroking my hair gently
I was crying so bad like a baby, i don't want him to let go of me
"What happened? Talk to me" he asked calmly, his voice was so soothing
I kept on crying, I'm not going to tell him it's because of him and his cousin
"Tell me, was everything too much for you?" He asked
I nodded, but I kept on crying
"Come on Asaal, you can't keep on crying" he said, now he hugged me tighter
"Do you want to go upstairs?" He whispered in my ear
I nodded my head, I just want to be alone with him.
He carried me in his arms and we went upstairs to our room, he dropped me on the bed to sit and removed my shoes for me, he unbuttoned the first button on his shirt, and he sat down beside me this time my crying reduced
"Can you tell me what happened?" He asked now
I kept quiet then I started playing with my fingers
"Everything was too much for me" I said
"Is that it?" He asked
I nodded my head
"Let's go the terrace, you'll have a great view of the party from there" he said
He stood up and gave me his hand, I held it and we both went to the terrace, we watched everyone from up here, it was so beautiful.
"Everyone grab your partners, it's time for the slow dance!!" The Dj announced
Then I laughed a bit, cause ihsaan looked so confused, the Dj played "I wanna be yours" this night felt so magical, I turned to Nurain to see his reaction but he was already on one knee
"May I have this dance with you my lady?" He asked
Then I smiled
"Yes" I said
Then I took his hand and he stood up, he wrapped his hands round my waist, and then I wrapped my hands round his shoulder.
"Do you know how to dance?" Nurain asked
"A little bit" i said
"I'll teach you" he said
"It's kinda easy, isn't it not to 2 step to everything" i said
"Something like that" He said
Then we started slow dancing, the moonlight was reflecting on us and I felt at peace, Nurain twirled me around and pulled me back to him
"See, just me and you against the world"  Nurain said
Then the music ended.
"WOW! YAYA COULD YOU GUYS DO THAT AGAIN!" Ihsaan shouted, then people started clapping, I let go of Nurian and he let go of me, I was blushing so bad
"You guys should continue with the party, I'll be back!" Nurain shouted
Then we went back into the room and we sat on the bed.
"You know when we go back to Nigeria we should go and visit your mom, I'm sure she misses you" Nurain said
"She surely does, I haven't spoken to her in months" I said
"Why?" He
"That man stopped me from talking to her, and he blocked her number from my phone" I said
"He definitely needs jail time" Nurain said
Then I randomly got flashbacks of the time he always shouted at me and insulted me because I looked so much like mama then he'll call me all sorts of names, that's what led to my self harm, every single day I regretted being alive cause of him.
"What's wrong? Is everything okay" Nurain asked
"Nothing I'm fine, and yeah when we go back we should definitely visit my mom, she lives in Yola" I said
"Fine then we'll go to yola" Nurain said
Then we both kept quiet for some time
"Don't we need to end this party? Our flight is tomorrow" I said
"Oh yeah that's true, let's go" Nurain said
Then we stood up and went outside to announce that the party was over, we thanked everyone and they started packing up, we went inside and we also started packing our stuff to go back to Nigeria, and next week is my cousins wedding, ugh I'm so tired.
