Running Out Of Time

Chapter 11

Ameera's POV
The ride to the party was okay. When I say okay, I mean it was less awkward than it was the day we got married. We had one security man with us this time. We got to the party faster than I thought we would. "Just keep your heads down when we get down " Zayn said as we got down from the car. Why will he tell me what to do. Control freak. I thought as I kept my head up smiling at the paparazzi as we went inside the hall where the party was been held.
When we entered the hall, the pictures stopped. I looked up to see Zayn's expression. He looked amused and I could see him smirking. What did he find so funny. Ya Allah, maybe he was also a psyco. I shook my head as we got to a table full of people. "I am going to introduce you to those people on the table now" Zayn whispered to me. "Why, but I don't want to meet them" I whispered back to him. "You'll do as I say Mrs Ahmad" he said obviously to annoy me the more.
"Good Evening Mr Parker " Zayn said as we got the table." Good evening to you too Mr Ahmad, and may I ask who this beautiful woman is " he said proceeding to shake Zayn's hand looking at me." ooh, this is my wife , Ameera "Zayn said." It's nice to meet you finally Mrs Ahmad " he said politely." It's nice meeting you too Mr Parker "I replied.
" You should have a sit " he said. Zayn and I went to sit on the only vacant chairs on the table. When we were both settled, Mr Parker introduced us to his wife. After some time, the party actually started. When it was time to dance, Zayn asked me to dance with him. I huffed" You know I'll rather dance with a frog, right? "I said before I got up from where I was sitting. He looked insulted, but I knew he was just faking it." So you'll rather dance with a frog than a demon " he asked pulling me hands as we headed to the dance floor." Stop using that, it's getting old and boring "I said as he put his hands on my waist, I flinched a bit and I hesitated to put my hands on his shoulder.
I stopped contemplating as Zayn put my hand on his shoulder and we started moving together with the rhythm of the song playing." You called me that remember " he said leaving enough space between us." Called you what? "I asked confused." Called me demon dumb ball " he said." Did you just call me that? "I asked looking offended." Yes I did, and don't change the subject, I asked you a question "he said . I wasn't going to say sorry for anything so he could keep trying." Hmm, I don't think I can remember "I said looking thoughtful.
" Ooh, so now you are really playing dumb, dumb ball " he asked chuckling." Whatever, just stop " I said as the music started getting slower. We danced for a little while before he said" I'll be back soon, just give me a few minutes, I need to talk to someone, don't move"he said as he made his way across the hall.
I sat down on a chair waiting for him. He said he'll come back soon, not that I was expecting or wanting him to come back early anyway. I sat there for a while before I heard a familiar voice. "Ameera?" the voice asked. I turned around to see the person, and my jaw dropped.

*************************
"Sa'ad ? "I asked not believing my eyes." Hey " he said weakly." How, what are you doing here? "i asked unsure of what to say. He chuckled before he replied" It's not only really rich people that go for parties "." I didn't mean it like that, I meant I was taken off guard. I didn't see you since the time we had the fi-, argued "I said. He laughed a little and smiled. I missed that smile." It's okay, I was just pulling your legs, how is your husband? "he asked. I cringed internally. Could he at least make this a little less awkward." He is fine "I replied." You know I came to your Nikkah, right? "he asked. I was shocked." I didn't know really. That was nice of you " I said dropping my gaze to the floor not trusting myself to meet his eyes.
" It's no big deal " he said as we continued talking about different things before he asked me to dance with him. Seeing no harm I said yes. His hand felt foreign holding my hand as he guided me to the dance floor with him.
We were still dancing when I heard a stern voice say "Mrs Ahmad" .
I froze on the spot .

**************************
I turned around as I saw Zayn. His face looked expressionless. He wasn't giving anything away. He cleared his throat and nodded at my hand that was still in Sa'ad's own. I quickly removed my hand from his and looked away.
"It's nice to meet you, you must be Mr Ahmad" Sa'ad said as he extended his hands. Zayn didn't look at him. He just mumbled a same. "We are leaving now" He said looking at me deadly. I looked at him fully now and realized his eyes were dark already.
"Noo. I don't want to leave now " I said." Like your opinion matters "he muttered. I looked stunned." I am giving you five minutes "he said as he turned and left." You should Leave now , it's okay " Sa'ad said." Okay bye. "I said as I smiled at him and started walking out.

**************************
Throughout the ride home, we didn't talk at all. I was pissed at him. Even if I was at fault he wasn't meant to be like that to Sa'ad. When we got home, he just banged the door as he got down and left me in the car with the driver. I got down from the car and walked at my own pace to the house . I rang the bell, and almost immediately, Mrs Jones came to open the door looking pale. "What happened to Mr Ahmad. He is not his usual self" she asked. I scoffed. Like that wasn't his usual self.
"It's just a bit of misunderstanding Mrs Jones. It's fine, I'll take care of it. Where is he? "I asked." He is in your room " she replied as I went upstairs.
When I got inside the room, he was on the bed putting on his shoes." What was that all about? "I asked, hands on my hips" What was what all about? " he asked, his back turned to me." The shouting at the party "I replied. He laughed wickedly." You call that shouting. You'll not be able to stay in the same room with me when I start shouting " he said.
" Oh really. At least you should have been a little nice " I said. This time he lost his cool." What is there to be nice about, my wife cuddling with another man about to tarnish my image? "he asked through gritted teeths." If you say it like that, I don't care. And stop ordering me about and telling me what to do. I only left that party because I didn't want to disrespect you at the party not because you asked me to" I said.
He scoffed." Like you didn't disrespect me already by dancing with that filth of a man " he said already looking at me." You proud asshole. Because you are rich doesn't mean you call people filth " I retorted." I call people that dance with married women filth " he replied." Really. You are just a a---I don't even know what word to use to classify you " I said." I don't care what word you use to classify me, but I must not see you ever again with that rubbish "he said." You don't have the right to tell me what to do, and even if I see him, what can you do? "I asked daring him." Look here woman " he said pointing at me already lost his cool." You are not going to see him ever again, you'll do as i say because you are my wife, and never ever I repeat ever question my orders. And to what I'll do to you, you won't want to know, and I advise you not to try me " he said sternly, as he shoved me out of his way and went out of the room.
