Amir turned to look at Benazira, and finding no other choice Benazira also looked at him through her eyelashes. His gaze was so intense, she had started to tremble. Her lips trembled and she started to feel cold, even tough it wasn't cold. It was the affect he had on her. Amir on the other hand had plans in his mind. They weren't supposed to have a stop unless it was his house, but when he found her looking at him secretly he couldn't help it. He took his suit off, and pulled his tie aggressively.
