GUYS, CAN YOU LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU LIKE THE STORY AND WANT ME TO CONTINUE!!! I DONT WANT TO UPDATE CUZ NO ONE IS COMMENTING OR LIKING

Alma's POV

After making the food for the guest I decided to bring over the biscuits first as the tea cools down.

As I rushed to get to the living room, I crashed into something very hard.. and the biscuits broke and some fell on the floor

I looked up only to find out that something was actually someone. It was a guy wearing a black suit but now covered in crumbs.

I looked up in horror to see a handsome face in shock but then getting masked with anger.

" Oh my God I'm so so sorry, let me help you" I frantically turned to get the nearest cloth to wipe the crumbs off of him

But as I was about to reach his suit he clenched my hands tightly and glared at me

" How dare you touch me, look what you did to my suit, it probably cost more than your life" He sneered, making me freeze in my spot

" Now before you do anything else tell me where the bathroom is" He demanded

My heart was still pounding hard as my body froze at what just happened so I just pointed towards the direction

He looked at me one more time angrily before walking away

Ugh, who does he think he his talking to me like that, it was just an accident! I really wanted to slap him but my mom would get so angry at me.

I quickly loaded the plate once again and checked my way this time before entering the living room

I saw so many new faces and Auntie Khadija once again, I greeted them all with a salam, and sat next to my mother as the gaze fell on me

I shyly averted my eyes hoping they would look away as they continued there conversation

For the next few minutes I completely dozed off and only thought of that mysterious guy, like who is he, why was he so rude, but so hot... ugh astagfirullah why did I just say that!!!

I shook my head trying to get the thought of the stranger out but at that moment foot steps creeked from the corner and there he stood with his hands in his pocket as he came to sit across from me.

We made eye contact for a split second before I looked away.

" Alma, this is my oldest son Zahid I don't think you guys met"

I raised my head to greet him as my mom nudged me, but as I looked up he was already staring at me with a cold look

Auntie didn't noticed and said " Why don't you guys go to the dining room as we talk, it's really boring you guys will be better off talking to each other over there

Both of our parents signaled us to go over so we had too. The dining room is straight in front of the living room so anything that happens could be seen

Thank God if he tries to murder me I have witnesses!!!

We sat across from each other as his piercing eyes just glared at me. I lowered my gaze and stared at the table, gosh why did I have to be stuck with this guy and since when did my parents think it was a good idea for me to talk to a guy?? They would literally cut my head off if I even looked at a guy, and bow they send us to talk to each other?!?!

And then the thought of something came to my mind. This must be the guy my mom was talking about when Auntie Khadija came over last time.

I quickly gazed up at him, wanting to get a better look at him but as soon as I looked up his beautiful hazel eyes glared into my eyes and I quickly looked down.

OMG HE SAW ME! WHY ME! WHY DID I LOOK UP! WTF, WHY DID I SAY HIS EYES WERE BEAUTIFUL!!!

I could slightly feel my cheeks redden as I wished I could disappear right now. What is wrong with me, I talked to so many men at work and college whats so great about this loser.

Ok fine he's kinda hot tho, I can't deny it. WHY DO I KEEP SAYING THIS. Ugh lemme just talk to him maybe he'll loosen up and be kind.

" so you didn't tell me your name?" I said gently

" Why do you care?" He remarked

"Well we're sitting here, so I thought we could just talk" I said shyly

"NO" He said sternly

"Dude, I'm sorry about the biscuits, besides it didn't damage your suit" I said apologeticly

" Does it matter you still spilled them on me" He gritted

" why do you have to be such a jerk " I sassed

" why do you keep talking to me" He glared.

I gritted my teeth and looked away

What is wrong with this man!!!! I wanna rip his head off!

I breathed in and decided it was a good idea to just ask him whats wrong, I'm probably gonna start screaming because of him and get in trouble for him being so rude.

" Listen, I'm just trying to start a conversation. I don't think our parents are gonna like it if they hear us yelling at each other when we don't even know each other in the first place" I said trying to cool down.

He looked at me from the corner of his eyes before looking back down at his phone.

" I'm sorry I dropped those biscuits into you, I was just in a rush. Let's start off from the beginning. Whats your name?" I spoke hoping he would say something back.

"Zahid" He mumbled, while flipping his phone down and staring straight into my eyes

He didn't say anything else so I just answered my own question since he wouldn't ask for my name.

" My names Alma" and the next hour went by with me just asking the questions and him just answering with a few words until at one point my mom called us over, as both our families ate before they left

My mom closed the door and both my parents looked at me searching my face for some kind of answer

" what did you think of the family" My mom asked smiling at me, as I gave her a nod of approval

" thats good, seems like you and Zahid had a good talk while you guys were together, what did you think of him"

" Amma, I know what your trying to do! I don't know he was ok, but he's awfully rude " I said wondering to myself

My mom took it as a sign of hope for some reason as her eyes lit up and ran over to me holding me in her arms

" aww don't worry dear, thats only because it was your first time talking to him maybe he'll loosen up as you get to talk to him " she said as I figured that she's not giving up on this guy.
