Tariq continued gazing at her, observing how she looked when she woke up. Her hair was slightly tousled behind her back, and he felt an itch inside to rub her head and mess up her hair even more. Her clothing was slightly messy, and it was riding up stomach, while her cheeks were colored with a faint pink tint. Her brown eyes were wide, staring at him in shock. He really wanted to laugh right now...how can someone look so cute? Alas, Tariq knew if he started laughing now maybe all the progress he made with Ayla would fly out the window due to him embarrassing her too much. He held his laughter in and sat up with a force, bringing his face close to Ayla's suddenly. "I fell asleep. Why, are you the only one allowed to sleep while watching a show?" He took the time while speaking to fix Ayla's clothes, ruffle her hair, and immediately stood up to go to the restroom. If he stayed there any longer, staring at Ayla's bunny-like expressions, he didn't think he could handle it anymore. He was all ready to be a big bad wolf. ------------------------------------ In a chance meeting at a cafe, Ayla and Tariq's love story begins, sparked by a blind date arranged by their elders.
