Sweet Obsession

Chapter 7 Part 3

After breakfast, Nidal and I took a stroll out in the rose garden. Nidal held me close to him as we walked and inhaled the fresh air. I looked around at the little wonders of the world. A butterfly flapping its colorful wings as it flew over a pink rose. A bunny hopping into the bushes chased its little friend joyously. Flowers bloomed in all their glory, showing off their colorful coat as they intertwined with each other, reminding me of Nidal and me, embraced by love. Little birds chirped as they flew playfully around us, and my gaze followed them around the garden. They stopped at the bay windows of the palace, and that was when I noticed Billal gazing out the window at us.

He did not look too happy. My heart went out to him. I looked up at Nidal and saw he was looking in the same direction I was. I felt him tense, and I immediately reached up and kissed his lips to reassure him that he had nothing to worry about. When I threw a quick glance back at the bay window, Billal had disappeared. Why is life so complicated? Sometimes, I wondered what lessons are being taught to us when we suffer. I hated to see Billal hurting so. I wished I could take his pain away. It did not seem fair to me that some people had all the luck in this world and some suffered throughout their miserable lives.

We walked throughout the rose gardens and then wandered off away from the palace. It was such a lovely day. Nidal pulled me gently off the road, and we ended up in a meadow. It was so beautiful that it took my breath away. It was full of trees of all shapes and sizes and flowers in full bloom in all shades of bright colors. We continued to walk across the green grass until we stopped under a willow tree.

This tree, I was told, was three hundred years old. It held a lot of secrets throughout the decades. How many lovers kissed here? How many duels were exercised under this tree? How many friends revealed their innermost feelings here? How many maidens gave up their reputations here? There must have been a thousand and one stories to tell if the willow spoke a thousand words. But it just stood here, straight and proud, allowing it to be a stepping stone for anyone who wished to use it, a quiet friend that spoke not of all it has heard over the years but loaned its bark to lean on to any passerby who wished to rest under it.

Nidal pulled out a carving knife from his pocket and carved a heart with our initials inside of it on the tree. He was so romantic, this prince of mine. He made me feel like a schoolgirl all over again. It was such a beautiful feeling. Our lips met once again as a drop of rain splattered on my face. We both looked up just in time to see the rain come pouring down. It was all so sudden. We stood under the willow and tried to stay dry, but we were soon dripping wet. The rain smelled so good. I looked up at the tree and spotted a few birds taking refuge on some branches. Looking around, no one was in sight except for the endless green pastures. We were the only ones within miles from here.

Nidal reached below my waist, grabbed my wet gown, pulled it over my head, and took it off. It happened so fast that I did not have time to dispute it. I was not wearing a single thing underneath, much to Nidal’s delight. Then he took off his clothes, and we were both under the willow tree, stark naked.

Nidal’s hands worked their magic as they slid down and caressed me lightly. He dropped down on the wet grass and pulled me to him. I lay on top of him, feeling his groin ready to take what belonged to him. We made love out here in the meadow, under the willow tree. The warm raindrops splashed on our heated bodies as we enjoyed the fruits of love. It was such an experience as nothing we ever had before. Wet, spent, and exhausted, we lay in each other’s arms and allowed the rain to dance on our skins. It was a nice hot day, and we welcomed the rain as it splattered all over us. It cannot get any better than this, I thought with a satisfied feeling.
