BEST FRIENDS

Chapter24

Yesmeen..
The room fills with a cold, blue light, filtered through the window shades. At first, I can ignore it, but eventually, I have to open my eyes and take a deep breath.

"It's been a week since I came to Ammar's house. I'm already comfortable here and can stay alone. After the incident, Ammar added a lot of security measures to the house.

"Ammar is always protective of me. He won't leave me alone until I fall asleep. Now, I'm used to living alone.

"I haven't seen my so-called rival since that day. I'm just living my life. When I talked to my mom about what happened, she told me to pray that nothing will happen, insha Allah. They just wanted to scare me, and they succeeded.

"I used to wake up early and enjoy watching the sunrise while sipping coffee. The world is quiet, but not still. When I looked out the window, I admired the people bustling on the streets, starting their day.

"I peel back the sheets and stare at the motionless clock. The air feels heavy and empty at the same time.

"Maybe it's the emptiness that weighs me down. I pull the sheets up to my chin, unsure if I'm warm or cold.

"I consider closing my eyes again, but I know the morning light will find me, penetrating my eyelids like it does the shades. It takes on a different tone as it shines through my skin. Red, urgent. So, I keep my eyes open."

I can't seem to move from this lying position. But I know I have to get up and start the day.

"I tell myself that I'll walk to the kitchen and brew some coffee. But then what? What else do I have the energy to do?

"Before I can even think about those chores, I need to get out of bed. Slowly, I stretch my legs and arms.

"But honestly, all I want to do is go back to sleep. Can I just go back to sleep now? It feels like it takes so much effort to get myself together.

"I lift my head from the pillow and prop myself up on my elbows. I make my way to the bathroom, feeling the cold tile under my feet.

"I don't even bother looking at myself in the mirror. I focus on splashing my face with water, letting the coldness wake me up.

"After turning off the water, I pat myself dry with a towel. Some of my hair gets wet, and it forms little curls around my face.

"Water trickles down my temple and outlines my jaw. The drops fall slowly, and I trace their path with my fingertip.

Turning towards the doorway, I focus on my feet. One after the other I make my way to the kitchen,I prepare the coffee slowly, methodically, and savor the sound of it pouring into my favorite mug. As I take a deep breath in, the steam curls upwards into my nostrils, comforting.

taking my first sip. It's warm, filling my mouth and sliding easily down my throat..

"Beautiful lady enjoying her coffee wow Ammar voice echo me as he placed his lips on my cheeks which made me choke on my coffee.

"Ewww what the hell did you just do ?I mumbled standing up to run into my room to cover up my self
But he pulled me back..
