"The best part about having someone love you is not their love or actions towards you, its how complete you feel when you are with them!"

IQRA 

He had kissed my forehead and then gone to sleep on the couch 

how lucky was i to have such a man in my life?

"Shumayll?" I called out in the darkness as i set on the bed

I could not sleep 

There were sensations that i could not keep in and the darkness was not doing anything but provoking my fears 

"Sh-Shumayll?" i called him and a moment later, i felt the bed dip 

"What happened?' he asked me as he switched on the lights 

"N-Nothing, i just could not sleep" i muttered and he smiled at me 

"I couldn't either" he replied and i sighed, rubbing my forehead 

"Insomnia?" he questioned and i shook my head 

"I need medics to sleep" i muttered and he growled lowly 

"No need for that though" I quickly said and he nodded 

"You better not be taking them, Iqra, i am serious!" he said and i nodded

"I am not, i promise!" i said 

he smiled slowly at me 

"Come on" he said pulling my hand down on the bed

"What?" i asked him as i lay on my back, staring at the ceiling 

"If we can't sleep, mind as well talk" he replied, dimming the lights 

I sighed and turned to his side 

his face was illuminated by the dim lights and i could see the sharp jawline and eyes from my position 

heat radiated from his body as he he settled beside me, his legs making contact with mine 

he was dressed in shorts and tees, very uncomfortable for him but he tried for me at least! 

I on the other hand did not bother the least as i wore a long tees and leggings, the usual sleeping wear

His legs stretched out and his huge body taking up half the bed as i lay near him 

our breaths synced and i could hear his heartbeat ferociously in sync with mine 

i was glad we both had the effect 

"Shumayll?" i said and he replied with a hmm 

"I have been meaning to ask about this.........." i said and he replied with another hmm

"Wh-Why does daadi mah not very much like you?" i questioned 

his body grew tense beside me 

I put my hand on his arm without thinking 

"Its fine if you don't want to........" i said and his body relaxed beside me 

"Iqra, You will not like this but-" he said and turned to face me

his eyes held so much that it made me retreat and think who this man was 

My Shumayll did not hold so much emotion in him
