Jafir/yasmine's POV
She walked into Jafir's study room with sherrif. He told her to take a sit. So what are we working on he asked?, signifying at sherrif that he could leave.
Well... Your people in Qatar are asking for a hyper speed train to cut across the....
He interrupted asking where the plan was.
Oh god.... Damn..... I totally forgot, she said holding her head
So what now he asked. How about we make another one here, quickly, he added.
Okay, she agreed going to his work table.
Want anything to drink, eat, anyone, he asked.
She looked at him with a really broad grin. Do you have candy she asked.
What?..... Yeah... I'll send someone to get it, he said seeming confused. I'll be back start making the plans.

Yasmine?..... Yaasmine!, he called out her name.

Yeah... She took off her head phones.
What are you doing? He asked.
Oh I'm done with the plans she said showing him the plan.
He looked at it critically, then asked did you get your candy.
Yeah I did she said it was yummy.
Where is it?he asked.
She pointed at the waste bin.
He looked back at the plan. Then she put on her head phones again.
Yasmine!.. He screamed her name.
Whaaaat!!? She took off her head phones, giving him her attention.
What are listen to, because I've been talking for the past 10minutes and noticed you were not listening.
She smiled, my new favorite song.
He went to the table opposite hers. To look at the plan very well. What song he asked, connect it to my speaker, he added.
You might not like it, but okay, she connected it.
(Music continues: seniorita by Camilla Cabello, Shawn Mendes)

I love when you calls me seniorita, Jafir followed the lyrics.
Yasmine looked up and smiled, then she continued it, i wish could pretend I didn't need ya....... I should be running.
Wow you really know the lyrics he said, well can you please turn it down now, he added.
I thought you liked it, she said turning the music off.
Well he said I do, but Camilla no.
Why not she asked walking towards his table.
The fifth Harmony?, he said.
Not really, yasmine said, but let's drop the topic and go back to the project.

Yasmine tell me something he said, how come you love working for Affan so much.
She said she loves machines, engines, math and physics and Affan's job has it all.
He chuckled, you are....
Jafir!!...... Jafir!..., Mahi screamed his name as she ran in. She hug him saying Zafrina had not returned home and she is not picking her calls.
What?.... Tell sherrif to go get her, he said, breaking the awkward hug. Zafrina will have it, when sherrif finds her, he added. Mahi left immediately.
So Who is Zafrina, yasmine asked,
He told her his younger sister.
How many siblings do you have she asked.
3,he replied. Two boys and a girl. She is so lucky she said.

So when is your wedding, she asked.
Excuse me?, what wedding? he asked looking confused.
She said Mahi told her when she arrived, that Mahi was the future queen.  He found a new princess fast, she added.
No!, she is not the future queen. Please I know I'm running out of time. But I'm not that desperate to end up with Mahi, he complained.
Time? She asked. Is someone asking you to get married within a period of time she asked.
Nooo.... He said with a little doubt in his eye.
The king is huhhn... She said with a wink. Okay then,... I see why you proposed to my sister within 5 days.
Look just help me align this plan, he said.

So what about you, he asked going back to his system. Do you have a boyfriend or........
She stopped him right there... oh no.. No no, no.
He chuckled asking why not?
She said nothing, she just wants a free good life before that.
Then he moved close to her, can't you have a free good life with them?, he said leaning in.
His face was so close to hers, and the question made her heart race. She looked up to see his charming face, she could almost....
Salamulaikum. Sherrif walked in. They separated immediately. Uhmmm.... He looked at Jafir who was giving him a strong glare. Oh god what did he do, sherrif said he just wanted to say he is off to find zafrina. Bye! he ran out quickly.
Yasmine took a sit infront of her tablet and continued the work.
Excuse me, jafir said leaving the room.

He came back few minutes later. Yasmine he called out her name.
She turned with a smile.
Look what I've got here, he said connecting his phone to the speaker. A better song, he added.

(Music playing: A little bit more by Jidena)
Now this is a song, dear he said putting his feet on the table.
I like it she said. But can you turn it off.
Why? He asked.
I don't know, maybe so I can crush your jam, like the way you just crushed mine.
Haaaahaaa. He laughed, pointing his fingers at her to make fun of her.

Okay so now we are  done with all calculations and drawings we will continue tomorrow he said.
They both reach for the folder, at the top the shelve, hitting their heads together. He held her by her waist.
What? She gasped.
Dont fall he said letting her go.
He looked at her strawberry pink lips.....
Okay what's going?  They turned to see Malik. They let go of each other immediately.

Guy, what you doing here malik, Jafir asked. Well I need your help, Malik said. Meet me at my house tomorrow at 10:15pm. Couldn't you just call me, jafir asked.
I went out and decided to stop by, Malik said. I'll be going to Jasmine's now. Then he winked at Yasmine.

Okay so now, that we are done what do we do Jafir asked.
I leave, Yasmine replied heading towards the door.
Don't you have questions to ask, Jafir said leaning on a shelve.
Actually yeah.. She turned. About las Vegas, I've been been there, she said. But why are people always mentioning you being there because I never saw you, when I was there.
Okay, question time is over... Bye bye.
Come on just tell me, she said.

Jafir!,...... They both turned. She was scared, but he wasn't. One of his guards was holding a tablet. It was a video call, but the person that called could not be seen. He spoke in pure Arabic, mixed it with different dialect. Yasmine didn't understand why they were all on their knees when they were talking. The guards, and Jafir didn't even say a word. At the end they said your highness and they dropped the call.

I'll be leaving now Jafir, she said.
Okay let me see you off, he said walking behind her.
Sherrif leave me alone, Zafrina screamed.
Jafir is calling you not me, so go upstairs now, sherrif explained.

Zafrina tried to walk away from sherrif and bumped into jafir.
Big brother, how are you? She asked moving back slowly and getting ready to run.
He pulled her, and held her hand tight where were you? He asked.
Jafir, I'm sorry but I, it was......
She was with Rayan, sherrif said.
Yasmine asked my brother?
Zafrina looked at her. Oh my god, you are yasmine? Rayan told me you are so cool.
She chucked, nice to meet you Zafrina, bye. She left immediately
