Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 32 POUND THE ALARM

Zaid

It was the loud arab music that woke me up from my slumber, i was having mixed feelings, glad that i finally get to tell Nuaimat that i am intrested in her thou it wasn't direct, glad she told me she liked me already, hoping i will get to tell her that i love her today, hoping she will say yes, dreading she will decline my proposal, dreading the reason why, but all the same i felt a bit free and set to enjoy the day.

After dressing up in my arab kaftan and trousers, i and Thauban went down to the hall, breakfast was going on and the music was blasting, some were swaying already,

I scanned the room for the only HER i have eyes for, and i saw her, today she wore a whitish greenish short sleeved top, which has a bare back that wasn't too deep, but a high neck, then its flay almost ankle lenght skirt with cone heeled shoe, her hair was loose and wavy, Seriously the only thing missing on her was the halo, because she is an angel, but i frowned a bit when i saw she was with a cousin of mine, Nazeer, he was now offering her a sweet, she shook her head and he inturn pushed a sweet into her mouth, and the two begun to laugh, within some seconds i was with them, "Seriously you could have choked her" i said with a frown, "it's just a jelly" he said,

"Yeah whatever" i said and used my eyes to tell him to go, he understood and i  then turned fully to her,  "you look angelic" i said, she smiled and said "you look, demonic"

"What" i exclaimed alarmed, she burst into giggles, "i was joking, you look charming, just a prince should be"

I chuckled and said "you mean, your charming prince"

"No not mine, i mean just charming to everyone" she said eying me,

"No one thinks am a charming prince but you" i said mocking a hurt tone,

"Now, that's a joke, almost all the single maidens in your family and outside know you are charming"

"Then in that case, i have never take into account when they say am charming but since you are the one saying it, i have taken it into account"

"Why she asked with a raised eyebrow"

I leaned a bit to her ear and whispered "because you are my special lady" with that i quickly walked away, leaving her there either stunned or blushing.

Late in the evening everyone was having a good time, dancing, talking and other stuffs, Nuaimat has being blushing ever since our morning talk, whenever our eyes meet she looks away and engage herself in something else with a smile, there was a time when she was sitted in the mists of Zohra and co, when our eyes met, i just stood looking at her, she inturn looked away and joined back in the conversation,

Again i saw her heading up to the stairs leading to grandma Maya's wing, i quickly followed her up, and when she was about coming out from the door she bumped into me, i inturn grabbed her by the waist just when we heard footsteps and giggles coming that way, i quickly push her in and the two of us found ourselves in clusters of hanging white curtains, my hand was still on her waist as our eyes locked, i used a finger of mine to pop her cheek, she blushed the more,

"you look beautiful when you blush, who could imagine the fierce Nuaimat blushing" i said in her ears, as i lowered my head a bit to say it, i felt her breath on my neck, she quickly push me and ran out, "Ya Gafur(the Almighty forgiver)" i exclaimed,

Now after the evening prayers, almost everyone were dancing to the loud music, i saw Nuaimat and Zohra holding Tanisha's hand as they dance to rocka baby by Anna marie, Sean paul and clean bandit, as the song change the popular arab song Habibiyi by Imran, the dancing steps change and now everyone was facing his or her lover,  Nuaimat was now dancing with Nazeer and when he spinned her she landed on my body, "i love you" i whispered in her ears, she was shocked, i can see it, i gave her a  smirk and turned away, but my inside were dancing the  tumba became i have finally said it, i love her, so minutes later i saw her disappearing, through a door, "i said it" as i met up with Zohra, she gave me a hug and swayed away, "i told her" i said to Thauban and Khadija dancing,
