Love of a Muslimah

Chapter 15

Even after a week,it's been very awkward for me to be or face Ahmed,i just feel too shy,and I know 'I feel too shy' sounds like what a pick me would say,but trust me,I am not a pick me,and Mariam,and everyone who knows me can confirm.
Today I have another dawat (invitation to another person's house,I could say for example,an invite),but today's dawat is different,it's the first dawat I'm going to with Ahmed after our uhh night,I am kinda nervous,but I think I'll probably just busy myself with helping Ahmed's mother with chores.
I got dressed in a Bengali outfit,it was black with golden details,matching hijab,after awhile of just getting ready and prepared,I went out of my room,witch was right next to Ahmed's,when Ahmed saw me,he smiled,and just his smile made me blush,and as soon as I blushed his innocent smile turned into a teasing smirk,that I had never ever seen in our marriage life,but now thinking I hadn't seen that smirk even before we got married.
And that smirk made me feel something in my body,as well it made my blush darker.
When he saw my blush darken he chuckled,and leaned closer to me.
"Just my smirk makes you blush soo much?" He teased.
While I blushed even more,but I did reply
"N-no" I lied.
I could see the glint of amusement in his eyes,but he stepped back giving me my personal space,to be honest i felt kinda dissatisfied.
After that,we got in the car,and made our way to his parents house,and once there,I was surprised that Ahmed right before we entered their house witch I like to call Castle,he took my hand in his,and brought me in the sofa.
I could feel everyone's eyes on us,and especially Miriam's smirk and teasing eyes which were looking at me.
Miriam and Ali,had a very good relationship,even if it was a completely arranged marriage,Allah (swt) had helped their bond be very strong,and they did everything together.
I on the other hand was yes very lucky I got into such a wealthy family,but my bond didn't start strong,but I know Allah (swt) is making me wait for something stronger).
It didn't take long for my mother in law,to come to us,and ask for me.
"Uhm dear don't you think you should help out on the works?" She asked.
But I didn't even get the chance to answer before Ahmed did for me.
"Mother,she isn't a maid,she won't be doing your chores for you,she's here as my wife,and to enjoy this moment" he said with a cold tone.
I could see the shock in my mother in law's eyes and I kept in my laugh,while she just glared at me before returning to the guests.
While I started to feel more comfortable with Ahmed,I slowly and hesitantly rested my head on his shoulder.
He only smiled and didn't say anything,he didn't even mind.
Is our bond gonna get stronger?...
