He Needs Me (Wattys 2020)

42

Dramaaaaaaa

Throughout the whole ceremony I couldn't concentrate, what the hell was Andrei doing here. When I saw him my eyes travelled from his black slacks to his plain white button up, his shoes and socks were discarded on a similar rack in front of him.

I didn't let my gaze get any further, he was obviously angry and it's not a good time for me to get mad too.

" it's done, he's officially Muslim" her words caught my attention as did the cheers on the other side of the curtain, they're all so happy.

Stupid women, I missed it all.

" what do you want me to call you" ok where did that come from, I need to think sometimes. Shazia shuffled her body my way so she faced me, a little worry etched on her old features. For a 37 year old she looks a little older but beautiful nevertheless.

" whatever you want, ama, hala, or even just Shazia." She said happily. I nodded my head enthusiastically, there's a lot of options, I like options.

" Storm I want you to be happy, Im not just marrying your dad technically your in the deal." She giggled, her words only make me like her more.

" I'm happy, just keep dad happy ok"

" always beti, now let's get going, I'm going to pop to the toilet just wait outside for me ok" standing up we both exited the empty room, I slipped my sandals on and stood outside the bathroom door.

Dude I am starving, we were in such a rush this morning I forgot to eat. I mean we are celebrating dads conversion so we would need to buy a lot of food.

Hearing the door open I turned expecting Shazia with a smile but that smile was instantly wiped of my lips, Andrei.

He stalked towards me and didn't stop there, grabbing my arm he threw me into the room Shazia and I were just in.

"Andrei what are you doing" I asked, my body shook in fury.

Running a hand through his hair he groaned in anger.

" I can't believe I'm fucking saying this but you wearing this has me feeling the need to fu..." I interrupted him before he could say something so crude in a place of worship.

" how dare you! We're in a mosque" he only came closer, his body centimetres away from mine.

" I don't care" Andrei grabbed my arm and pulled me onto his chest, a gasp escaped my lips at the sudden contact. His hooded gaze roamed my covered body.

What the hell is he doing.
"  you said you'd leave me alone so do it. Stick to your word" I seethed out.

" are you Muslim now?"

" no dad is, I came to be here for him" for some reason a little relief washed over him. He pushed me into the wall harshly.

" I need to fuck y..." are you kidding me. Pushing his body away I groaned in anger.

" stop swearing! You disrespectful bag of cocaine . I'm not Muslim but atleast I respect where we are, this is a mosque! stay the hell away from me Andrei" with one last glare I pulled open the wooden door, I was ready to sprint but Shazia stood worriedly in front of me.

oh thank God she didn't come inside. It'd be so hard to explain.

" you had me worried I thought you got lost! " she sighed in relief, plastering a fake smile upon my lips I grabbed my phone from the dresses pocket.

" I left my phone in there, let's go dad must be waiting for us" she nodded and led the way out of the mosque.

What just happened.
