Arabian Nights

Resistance

I was standing alone, feeling the cold breeze on my skin. It was midnight and I could see the bright moon shining like a star amongst the dark clouds.

I stared at the sky searching for a moment of peace and all of a sudden I felt a pair of eyes staring at me. It was unusual but understandable, why would a girl be out so late at night? Especially because I was really dressed up.

I wore a golden satin dress that was tight, it hugged my waist and showed off my curves. I was matching with my gold jewelry and heels. My long brown hair flowing with the air and my eyes shimmering with a sparkle.

I looked behind and there was no one there, but for some reason, I felt chills running down my spine.

I continued to stare at the atmosphere In front of me but I felt uncomfortable as the feeling of discomfort came on me.

And as I looked behind again, I felt a touch on my shoulder "Ahhh!!!" I screamed in shock.

It was Aladdin, what was he doing out here? And was he watching me?

"Oh Aladdin, god you scared me! Why are you out so late?!" I asked, clearly agitated.

"I could be asking you the same thing, princess" He looked at me dead in the eye "Why are you out so late? And so fashionable?" He asked

"For goodness sake Aladdin, go away, I'm not in the mood for you to be here" I said irritatedly

"So when are you in the mood to see me?" He asked, while smirking

"Never" I glared "Just please go, I want to be alone"

Me and Aladdin weren't really on good terms, he was extremely full of himself and wanted everything to be his way. I used to have a thing for him, but it only lasted for 2 months and it quickly ended after he said that he found someone else in his life, who was Jasmine. I figured it was best for me to stay out of his life and felt the need to focus on myself, but somewhere in me, I wish I was in jasmine's place, I wish my lips were the ones kissing his, and I wish my hands would be wrapped in his.

"Well, maybe I don't want you to be alone" He fingers brushed my skin as his hands glided through my hair.

"Well, maybe you should go, please" I looked at him in desperation, eager for him to leave

His eyes drenched in worry "Why, what's wrong? You know I'm here for you, right?" He smiled

The reason why I was upset was because I caught Aladdin giving a bouquet of flowers to Jasmine, we were at an event today and I had come across them and I couldn't understand that when I saw them laughing and hugging each other, that a part of me was triggered. I just needed some fresh air to clear my mind.

"Aladdin, when were you ever there for me?" I looked at him with a glint of sadness

"Hey listen, I never knew you needed someone by your side because you're always happy, I've never seen you so sad, but I will always be here" He said

I sighed "Why are you suddenly showing that you care? You obviously don't, I think you should go back inside and hug your girlfriend"

"Damn, so rude missy? What happened?" He said with confusion

"I-I just" I looked down, I was being blatantly rude, he didn't deserve that, he didn't even do anything and he'll never like me, I wanted to stay away from him, but how do I get him to go away?

"You just what? Look at me with those pretty eyes, golden girl" He gave a little smile and I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his and for a moment I felt like everything was blurred, did he just say I had pretty eyes? My cheeks showed a hint of blush, but I hoped he didn't notice.
