Ameera's POV
The next morning, I woke up pretty early feeling uncomfortable. I tried to get up, but something was pulling me down. I looked to my right and saw Zayn's legs and hands on me. I groaned. I tried pushing him off gently, because I didn't want to wake up, but he wouldn't move even an inch. I tried again but he still didn't move.
"Is this guy kidding me"i said talking to myself and still trying to push him off me. "Aargh" I groaned again still trying to push him but harder than I did the first time, still he didn't move. As I kept on pushing, I heard Zayn chuckle. "You should have just woken me up rather than torturing yourself" he said, amusement in his voice. "Ya Allah!!! So you have been awake since. You're, you're - -, I don't even know what to classify you with" I said still trying to push him off me and still not succeeding.
"I know right. I am too awesome to find the perfect word to classify me and if you don't mind I have to get back to my beauty sleep"he said.
"You wish, just get off me "I said and huffed. He chuckled again before he moved away to the other edge of the bed. I got up from the bed, prayed and went to freshen up.
****************
When I was done, I headed downstairs to the kitchen. We got home kinda late yesterday so I didn't eat and this morning, I was really hungry. Immediately I got to the kitchen, I saw Mrs Jones in the kitchen.
"Good Morning Mrs Jones"i said as I entered and sat on a stool. "Good morning Mrs--I mean Ameera" she said as she turned to me and smiled. "Hmm. OK. That was nice" I said. "What was Mrs Ameera?" she asked. "You calling me my name, and can we just stick with calling me Ameera please. It makes me feel old. Like really old" I begged. "Oh really, Mrs Ahmad" I heard Zayn say and turned around to see him coming towards me.
I scoffed. "Do you always have to ruin the moment Zayn?" I asked as I turned back not wanting to see him. "Probably yes" he said nodding his head. "You know we were really doing well without you?" I asked looking at him squarely in the face now. "Oh really, I didn't know that Mrs Ahmad" he said amused . I scoffed. As I turned back to face Mrs Jones, I saw a smile tugging at the edge of her lips. "Is the food almost ready or can I just come back later when it's done" I asked Mrs Jones already getting tired of Zayn. "It's done already Mrs Ahmad. It'll be over there soon" she said. I groaned. "You want to get rid of me so soon?" Zayn asked. "You already found out. Yay" I said dryly. He chuckled. "Here is your food Mrs Ahmad" Mrs Jones said and left already smiling now. "Mrs Ahmad we should start eating" Zayn said laughing. "Why is everybody bent on annoying me this morning?" I groaned as I picked my fork up ready to eat.
"Naah, we are not. You are just bent on letting people get to you"he said already eating. I just scoffed and kept on eating.
When we were done, I packed the plates to the dish water and dropped it in.
"Are you going anywhere today? "I asked Zayn turning to him." Yeah. Are you missing me so soon? "he asked getting up from the stool.
" What!!! No, why would I? "I asked looking at him. He chuckled." I don't know " he shrugged." Anyways, where are you going? "I asked." Work, I haven't been there in a long time " he said heading upstairs." OK then"i said as I headed upstairs to the library.
*********************
Zayn had gone since morning and I was really bored. I had been in the library, then to the garden I didn't know he had. Then I went to the TV room to watch a movie. Even though it was boring. By the time it was afternoon already I didn't know what to do anymore. I was heading back to the room when I passed by Zayn's office.
Maybe I should go in. I might probably find out more about those people after my family. I thought as I stood in front of Zayn's office.
After contemplating for like 2 seconds, I pushed the door open and went inside. The place was well organized, which I am very sure it's Mrs Jones doing. I quickly went to his table and started checking through the files in the drawers. I checked for like five times but still didn't find any file that had anything to do with me. I was already getting tired. I sat on his very comfortable chair and relaxed. After a while, I stood up and kept on searching for any clue that had to do with me.
After an hour and a half, I sat down on his chair. I had lost hope of finding anything already. Maybe I'll find it another time. I was about to leave his office when something caught my eye. There was this file on his table different from other files. I moved closer to it and found out it had my name on it. The whole time it had been on the table and I had been checking all over the office. I face-palmed myself.
Ya Allah, how dumb can I be.
I quickly grabbed the file and opened it still standing. "Ameera Sulayman" it read. Thank God he didn't use Ahmad this time. At least I now knew he was a bit sensible. I looked through it my eyes wavering through the lines fast because I knew he would come soon.
I didn't find anything of importance as I kept on looking. All I found was a biography of me, and the pictures I found earlier. I was about to drop the file and leave before anyone caught me when I saw something "The R.J". Whatever that was anyway. I looked through it and found exactly what I was looking for. Or had been wanting to know.
