My heart beat quickened and my body become hot. I quickly shook myself from his hold. "What are you doing here?" I became frantic as I looked into his eyes.
Amir bit his lip and scratched his head. "I honestly don't know."
I rolled my eyes and reached for the door to go back inside but his hand shot up and grabbed me back.
I stared at his face, a little startled.
"Actually there is something. You and I are getting married. I've arranged everything." He suddenly blurted.
I frowned. "What makes you think I'm that easy? Or that I will say yes?" I blushed even though my voice was aggressive.
Amir looked slightly taken aback. "Uh um aren't you in love with me?" He looked slightly hurt at my comment.
I scoffed. "Don't be so full of yourself." I was dragging and playing with him because he had caused me heart ache.
Amir's whole composure changed and he became enraged. "Don't tell me there is someone else." He put his hands over his hips as he glared at me.
I looked at the floor and squished the ground with my left foot. I swayed my body playfully. "There isn't."
Amir ran his hand through his hair. "Seriously?!" His face started getting rosier. "I'm coming to marry you. Get ready."
"I-"
"I will scream. And your poor mother will come to find you speaking to a man at this time." He smirked. "I don't think she'll like the image."
I scoffed. "Very funny."
He opened his mouth then but I jumped up and slapped my hand over his lips. "Don't."
"Well then," Amir smiled charmingly. "Anyways, I'll get going." He picked up his hat off the floor. He then turned around before heading to his car, " Unblock me." He then jogged to his car.
I watched as he got into his black Maserati and drove off. As soon as he disappeared, a big smile glossed over my lips. I squealed as I got back into the house and ran up to my room.
Me and Amir will actually be married!
I felt my stomach fill with butterflies as I imagined me and him together. I pulled my covers over my face as I giggled.
I felt so much happiness and giddiness in one sitting.
How could I sleep tonight!
Any smile quickly faded as I remembered something.
How could I tell my mom. She had been very disappointed after Kareem never showed up. She knew something was up, my mom was not a fool.
******
I slid my finger playfully against the kitchen table. "So mom.." I trailed off as I avoided her gaze.
My mom put down the white towel she had been using to wipe the kitchen. "Yes?" One of her eyebrows lifted.
I didn't know where to begin. I didn't know what she would think! I racked my brain. "I want to get married." I suddenly blurted.
My moms eyes widened. "And to whom?"
"Amir." I felt my heart beat quicken.
