The Choice

26) Omer

We keep the casual talk with Aurora doing whatever stuff she's doing inside. I understand why Aurora loves her so much, the girl really has good vibes. Also, she's sharp minded. Strong intelligent women. I appreciate that.

I see a lot of books on the tiny table next to us and I notice the language instantly, "you speak Italian?" I ask and she nods, "it's not my first or second language, but I started practicing years ago." I nod, "it's a beautiful language, do you use it or you learn for knowledge?" she purses her mouth, "I wish to use it, I'm working towards that."

"You didn't think about visiting Italy? "

"That's what I mean, I am looking forward to go there."

"For a visit or a long while?" I ask tilting my head, "if I have the opportunity to work there, I'm totally in."

"I can help with that." She frowns at what I said and I elaborate, "I have a branch of NV Valley there. You can have a position."

"But what will I work as?"

"If you're the same major as Aurora then you can train for the interpretation positions; and use your English plus Italian. If you don't want to work there at all then I can help with other places."

"Are you really going to help?" she asks and I find myself smiling at her expression, "and why not?"

"But why?"

"Because years ago, I wanted people around me to help and had to take the toughest road because there was none."

She smiles too nodding in understanding, "I'm in. With the company offer, though I still need to learn for a bit."

"Sure. Take your time and tell me, the offer is open whenever you want."

Half an hour passes with Aurora still inside. Nour showed me what levels did she reach, "so, you're c1 in English and b2 to c1 in Italian, impressive. That's what we need."

"So, I can pass the interview?" she asks and I give a nod. She smiles then calls, "girl, if you're giving birth to a kid, you won't last that long."

"I'm about to finish." Aurora calls back and i find myself smiling slightly at her voice. Also, the thought of Aurora pregnant and giving birth; it was a joke, but it did wonders to my desperate soul.

"Coffee?" Nour asks and I nod she smiles then gets up heading for the kitchen. I hear a door open inside followed by sounds of bare feet on tiles as Aurora hums a song softly.

"Take me to church, I'll worship like a dog in the shrine of your lies"

"I'll tell you my sins so, you can sharpen your knife. Offer me that deathless death. Oh, good God..."

Her voice fades away and I look around to a balcony, I clear my throat, "Nour, can I head inside?" I jerk my chin towards it and she muses, "of course! Go ahead."

I enter, it's so peaceful, the place too. Full of light, but it's not hot, the breeze is beautiful. I think they sit here a lot because there's a small table with three chairs. Also, Aurora's books didn't go unnoticed piled on top of the table. I strode towards them and picked up the one we were reading together before I arrived.

"Don't you dare."

I whirl to find my woman, my love standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips. She changed into a skin tight dress that reaches her ankles with blue and turquoise marble prints. It hugs her curves like a second skin exposing her milky toned cleavage. Her hair is now down; she blew it up, I heard the dryer when she was inside. Her bangs and hair have more volume I want to lace my fingers through it.

I smirk at her attire then lift the book, "didn't do it. You caught me." I always annoy her by placing the bookmark into another page that she's not reading, but of course with memorizing the number of the page she stopped at so, she won't bite my head off.

She raised a brow throwing her hair above her shoulder, a totally normal gesture. But did things to my insides. She strides towards me on her tip toes. A thing she does recently because of the heels she wears all the time, she finds herself tiptoeing around in bare feet.

She leans her body outside and takes a deep breath then assesses me from head to toe. Attention, that was something that didn't bother me from females; girls or women. But I feel a shift inside me at the attention of this woman. She smiles then looks back outside. I raise a brow taking a step towards her, "Nour is inside."

She warns glancing at me sideways. "But you look and smell so," I take another step, "so," another, "so," the last till I reach her before leaning in to say in her ear, "delicious I want a taste right now."

She shudders cheeks blushing as she masks her features, "you'll have to wait, my love." I close my eyes, this fucking word. The door slides open to the veranda and another girl appears, "BITCH!" she throws Aurora's way and I frown then relax when Aurora starts giggling and hugging her. Nour leans against the door behind them as she tells Aurora, "Told her to give you privacy."

Aurora looks at me then the other girl recognizes presence after. Her other friend. "Hi! Sorry, she was away for a whole week and she sprained her wrist - ow! Stop pinching me!" she pats Aurora's hands away. I nod respectfully then extend my hand, "Omer Mughrabi." She shakes my hand then widen her eyes towards Aurora who's now snickering looking at Nour as she too holds laughter.

Aurora straightens before nodding, "yes, my boss of the Donald's duck panties day."

"You're not fired?!" her friend exclaims, "nope. Dating." Aurora quips passing me to do something at the back. Her friend looks at me again, "so you're Aurorae's boyfriend?"

"Man-friend." Aurora deadpans from behind me and I smile at then then nod to Kira. She smiles, "then you're welcome here." Nour rolls her eyes behind her and I smile at that again, they disappear inside then I feel small hands on my back then arms wrapping around my waist from behind. I lean into her as she rests her head on my back sighing, "I couldn't wait. Sorry" she murmurs and I spin around, "you don't have to hold back, dove." I cup her face and she gives me a soft smile before wrapping her arms around my neck then pecking my neck before pulling back and heading inside.
