Stuck with Mr. Malak.

Jannah's POV

"I'm sorry we are what not?" I questioned him trying to rephrase what he had said two seconds ago. He signed and then turned around facing the door.

He looked at it once again before putting his hand over his mouth and then finally answered me. "We are locked."

"Well why are you so worried?" I said to my somewhat apparently "Stupid" boss.

He looked at me with his eye brows fixed down as he tries to understand what I just said now. "Why shouldn't I be?"

Great! Now his speaking to me like I'm the dumb one. Okay sure. Mhmm.

Ugh Men!

"All we have to do is call someone and notify them don't you think?" He turned to me and then shook his head.

"It wouldn't work." "What do you mean?" "Everyone is out of the office right now." "Why?" "Just because Jannah! Please stop asking me questions."

"Alright then let me call Rebecca." "You can't call her." "Why not?" "Because even if you do she won't be able to pick up the phone."

Mr. Malak's POV

Lord, I'm really trying to be patient. Is this how you test me Allah? I'm stuck in a room with Jannah and on top of that we can't call anyone because the room arranged doesn't have cell phone net service. Way to go Khalid!

Wait a minute... I'm stuck with Jannah. In a room.... alone. I can finally speak to her without fearing Khalid's approach upon us.

I turn to only see Jannah sitting down playing games on her phone.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"You didn't yell sir. After all I don't blame you." "Did you forget what I said before?" "What?" "Not to call me sir. Address me as Mr. Malak. Or you can just call me by my name."

"As you say Malak."

She put her phone down on her lap and faced me. "Um. I wanted to ask you a question about Khalid's project." "What about it?" "Did they pass? I mean you know because their project was very difficult so was their reporting good?"

"Jannah?" "Yeah." "Do you feel bad?" "About?" "Come on Jannah. About not being able to fulfill your duty." "Sir."

"I know you Jannah. I mean not that much but I know you somehow. You always feel bad when you don't fulfill your duty."

"What do you mean?" "Remember that time you came to my office and you ordered me to speak to Mr. Flatware because he issued your project wrong."

"Of course. How can I forget? You actually did it for me." "Well duh. I mean I am nice after all." "Wow okay." "I don't know what's that supposed to mean, but Imma let that one slide. For now..."

Finally she laughs. And this time her dimples are showing fully.

The whole time I'm just staring at her. Can she be more beautiful? I don't know what's going on with me but something's going on.

TWO HOURS LATER!.

Jannah's POV.

I slowly opened my eyes as I yawned. I tilt my head to the other side and looked at the time. "6:25" PM

I think I fell asleep. But wait on what? "Morning." I looked up and I saw sir staring at me with a smile. Why is he up? But must impornntly why am I down? And it hit me, I'm laying on sir's lap.

"What happened?" I questioned him.

"You fell asleep on the wall so I put you down on my shoulder but then you got really heavy so I put you down on my lap. I hope you don't mind." He said as he tried to add in a little sense of humor.

"No I don't. Thank you." I said as I nod my head smiling uncontrollably. Obviously now you guys know that I'm shy.

I looked back at sir and realized that we were both staring at each other constantly. Soto take away the awkward moment I finally got up.

I got up as I tried to fix my skirt. "I'm sorry sir." Wow this is embarrassing.

"JANNAH! BROTHER?"

We both looked at the door as we saw it moving. That's Amanda's voice. "Yes. We are stuck in here!" Mr. Malak answered as he tried to get up. He took his hand out and reached it for me.

I held his hand and he helped me up. His pretty strong maybe too strong because by body hit against him. He grabbed me tightly around the waist as if he was scared that I was going to get slip, fall or something.

Hello! ARE YOU STARING AT US? LOOK AWAY CREEP!

Haha I'm just kidding. But to be honest though. Has time frozen? because it really feels like it.

We aren't making any movements were just staring at each other.
