Umm hi, bleaz don't yell at me. I know this was slightly late.

"What?! Samra?" I jumped up but Choji held my shoulders. "Henry what is she doing here?" I felt a ping of anger and jealously hit me.
Samra put her hands up. "I know what you're thinking but I'm here to explain and tell you the truth."
I crossed my arms and frowned. "I already know."
"Goddamnit Malak are you this stubborn?" Choji groaned. "Just sit and listen."
I sat down but not before sending Samra a deadly glare. "What is it then?"
Samra gave me a frustrated look. "I don't love Amir and I don't want him as my fiancé." She began.
I put a finger up to stop her and Choji sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Then why are you two engaged!?"
"Amir wanted to protect you and himself! He sucked me into his fight."
I rubbed my temples. "What fight?"
"Okay when you worked under Amir, your coworkers got jealous of your relationship and reported you two to the top chief. Top chief had always had a thing against Amir and so he vowed to ruin your career if you two were really interested in each other." She took a breath. "Amir basically saved you from never getting hired."
My mouth felt dry. "So that's why he staged the engagement party and didn't invite me?"
Samra nodded, she smiled which meant she was happy I was finally understanding. "Exactly."
I frowned. "But why did this "top chief" dislike Amir that much?"
"He's my father. Amir's dad's best friend. They have been forever pressuring me and Amir to get married. Amir never made the move and so my dad thinks that Amir betrayed me. But I've always never liked Amir in a romantic way." She answered. She then took a look at her nails. "Besides I'm in love with someone else entirely."
I felt a dead weight lift off my shoulders and new hope filled inside of me. This meant Amir was still in love with me! But then my shoulders slumped. "But Amir wouldn't explain to me the situation. If he had explained.."
I trailed off but then Samra added. "Yes if he'd explained that would be good except the fact he has my dad and his dad breathing down his neck. He didn't want to get you involved until he knew you were not to be harmed. That's why I was forced to play along. Me and Amir were going to stage a fight in front of them which will end in us splitting for good." She giggled. "But oh well." She shrugged. "I had to let you know before you made a mistake and married the wrong man."
I smiled. "It means a lot to me. Thank you so much Samra." I reached over and she laughed before giving me a hug.
"Your welcome!" She smiled. "But you better call and cancel the wedding with my man." She said seriously and my mouth fell to the floor.
"You and Kareem?" Henry said. He was standing next to me also shocked. "Wow."
"Yep!" Samra laughed. "He's my boo and I'm going to go cut off his ears because he clearly doesn't use them."
I tapped on my chin. "Wait if Kareem was in love with you. Why did he come for me?" I felt my head spin.
"Oh!" She clasped her hands. "He wanted to get back at me so badly he decided to marry you. It was a good idea because Amir and him don't like each other and so it's like they each get the others woman."
