They weren't compatible, at least that's what Derek told himself. They were just too different.
Yeah, Reem couldn't have cared less.
She was the one exception to every rule he ever made. The one woman who could throw a bat at his head and make him think, Ah, what a lovely lady.
She didn't just berate him. Oh no, she made him question his life choices with every word. Hit him with a bat, sure, but did it with such finesse. Artistic, really.
She threw shoes at him. Not just any shoes, either. He was pretty sure she had a collection of footwear specifically for this purpose.
And then, of course, she'd talk about him behind his back-to his own daughter, no less. Just in case he wasn't already fully humiliated.
But, oh, the highlight of his day? Listening to her laugh. That devilish little giggle that made him feel like he might have just been punched in the gut... and he loved it. Watching her face light up with amusement at his expense, as if he were the punchline of some cruel joke he hadn't quite gotten the memo about.
Yeah, safe to say, he was completely down bad.
