If I run

Chapter 19 (Abiagil)

I thought I would really hate this, but I don't. I've missed everyone more then I would of thought, and Robbie... oh my boo, how I love him so.... I don't mean it that way, he's been like a brother to me. he was and had been the first friend I ever had, and for basically all my life he was my only friend.... after dinner I was allowed to not clean up leaving it to my aunts and grandmother. "Adab, when... did this happen" I asked sitting next to her and her baby " Amir is, 2 months old" she said looking at him sweetly "he's an angel" I said looking at him "so tomorrow, do you want to go down to U City and find some bangles... among other things" she said hinting at things you don't say in front of your mother... "oh of course... I'd love to" I said with a smile and smirk. Collin was sitting next to me, on his phone... normally I would take it away from him but I felt bad. "hey Collin, have you ever played Polo?" Robbie asked "No I haven't" he said "well tomorrow, your going to learn" he said patting Collin on the back "well we may just have stop by then" Adab said smiling.... knowing that it should be hilarious as usual. "I'm not sure we should that" I said and Robbie looked at me shaking hi head "Boo, you have to come, because your my good luck charm... you always have" he said smiling "oh really since when?" I asked smiling back in a tone that challenged his manliness "since the first Polo match I ever played" he said "that was back in Pakistan... I didn't know you then" I said laughing and he smiled sweetly "no you didn't, but in one of the letters your mother wrote she sent a picture of you... and.... ill tell you the rest later" he said laughing and looking at Collin. "well I hope the story turns around because right now it doesn't sound very good" I said smirking at him and his face turned as red as a tomato and we all laughed. I looked at my phone "what time is it?" he asked "9... I need to sleep, goodnight everyone see you in a few hours" I said and Collin gave me a strange look "I'm sorry, will someone please explain Ramadan to Collin, because I'm about to pass out from exhaustion" I said turning toward the stairs and walking up. I took my veil off when there was a knock in my door "who is it?" I asked "its me" Robbie said and I didn't care to put the veil back on and opened the door and he was taken back a bit "what?" I asked "nothing... it's just been a long time since I've seen your hair" he said smiling and I laughed lightly "so, do you need something or.....?" I asked "oh yeah, well I just wanted to clear up what I said earlier" "Relax Robbie... I was just having some fun, don't you remember fun?" I asked softly as a joke and he laughed lightly and then I yawned "so what were you going to say?" I asked and he looked at me with a blank expression as if he forgot "is Rhajet Kurd, the man that always speaks... speechless because of little Aisha Abigail Reynolds?" I asked and he laughed a little "I know I shouldn't do this" I whispered and I got on my tippy toes and kissed him lightly on the cheek and hugged him... "goodnight" I said shutting the door as I walked to the on suite shaking my head "that boy just keeps surprising me" I muttered to my self taking my makeup off and contacts out, throwing a t-shirt and shorts on. once again there was a knock at my door "who is it?" I asked "its me" Collin said I out my robe on not because I cared if he saw me but in case of anyone passing through the halls "hey" I said opening up the door "hey" he said smiling at me I walked into the hall a little looked down at the stairs to see if anyone was close by and down the long hallway "what are you doing?" he whispered "this" I said wrapping my arms around his neck and started kissing him... he wanted more, so much more, but this was all I could give him for now... yes at night you can have sex during Ramadan, but when you have your mother staying in the room next to yours, it kind of kills the mood besides like basically every other religion your not supposed to have it until marriage, so either way I would be sinning...I heard voices and started to freak out so I went back into my room where we started texting "what was that for?"
"People were coming and it's not proper"
"Since when have you ever been proper?"
"When ever I'm here I try to be to the best of my ability"
"If we can't even lean on each other I'm not sure I want you to be proper"
"I'm sorry, I promise ill make everything up to you...later"
"And when is later?"
"Well Ramadan lasts a month... so after it"
"Your killing me"
"I'm sorry"
"Stop apologizing"
"Sorry"
"Now your just doing it on purpose"
"Maybe"
"You will be the death of me"
"Well if you don't mind I would like to sleep like the dead for the few hours of it I get... goodnight"
"Goodnight"

He was sweet, even if he was impossible and easily distracted.... I really do fell terrible he has to suffer because of a religion that isn't even his.... I fell asleep only to be woken up a few hours later for breakfast, I put on shapeless clothes and quickly put a veil on and grabbed my glasses. there was already a line at the island for food and I groaned, while only a few hours ago we ate I was still tired and hungry "be sure to drink plenty of liquids" my grandmother said to the boys who were going to play polo... the only way they would be allowed to drink water was if they absolutely had to... it was a scary thought but they knew not to push themselves to hard "I envy you" I said to Adab while eating "why because I can eat and drink when ever I want?" she asked "yes, it's not fair... ill never get out of it" I said "sure you will, when your pregnant and breast feeding you can" she said with a smile looking at her beautiful baby boy but I just shook my head "I cant" I whispered and her face dropped "oh I'm so sorry" she did touching my arm "I don't really care... just please don't mention it to anyone, please" I said and she nodded I finished eating and went to sleep. oh my bed never felt so good, it was still a little warm and it was soft, and I just dozed off... oh how I love sleep
