Mashallah, my love

"Why are you worried?"

"What?"

"I mean you are being too kind to me today you know."

"Do you want me to start teasing you?"

"NO."

He scoffs and looks at me.

"Then don't ask anything and be quiet."

I try to stay as quiet as possible but it's hard for me you know. I talk a lot and I can't stay in a quiet atmosphere for more than five minutes. It's just uncomfortable you know.

"Don't be too kind to me."

"What do you mean?"

"Just don't be kind to me. I'm not that weak you know."

"Yes I know you aren't weak but you aren't that strong either."

"Hahaha true."

The nurse walks in and finds him kneeling down which obviously seems kind of you know weird for a third person.

"What is happening here?"

"Oh nurse she burned herself."

She comes to me running. Grabs my hand and looks at me, really worried. She looks up at me and then glares right through my soul.

"What is wrong with you Maha?"

"What did I do?"

"Can you stop coming here with your injury?"

"Rude."

She grabs her first aid and sits beside me. Blowing and applying medicine on my hand. She has always been there for me, I mean she is a nurse so duh. I look towards him and find him confused with the situation. I mean she and I seem pretty close but people don't get it. I just make friends really easily.

"This is your 28th time here. When will you stop coming here?"

"I came here that many times?"

"Yes you did."

"Hahahaha."

"I'm pretty clumsy so not really my fault."

Hashim and the nurse both say it at once.

"That's not funny."
"That's not funny."

They look at each other and smile. She finishes her bandage and walks towards the table to write up the information. He gets up from the chair and walks towards me. Leans forward and whispers in my ears not wanting her to hear it.

"I've to take care of you now Miss clumsy."

"Don't call me that."

He looks me in my eyes and smiles.

"Alright Miss not so strong."

"Isn't that more horrible?"

"I don't know you can choose which one you want me to call you."

"Just call me by my name."

He looks at me with a confuse face.

"Are you trying to flirt with me?"

"What? No way."

"I see."

"What do you see?"

"Nothing. I'll go now."

"Wait come back here and tell me what do you mean?"

"Shush don't scream this is an infirmary."

He keeps acting weird these days. I mean it's supposed to be him teasing me which he is but I don't mind it anymore. He just keeps teasing me in a way that it doesn't offend or hurt me.
