Noor POV
" I like …. No…. I love you Noor" he finally confessed and I froze hearing him say those three sacred words.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy hearing someone love me but then this is wrong . He is not a Muslim and he have to leave this dangerous job and start a new if he wants to be with me.
I finally was able to break away from him when his body relaxed and stepped away from him.
" Jack I-"
" NOOR!! FINALLY! I want my Chai please!" Michelle came whining like a kid who wants candy with her sportswear sweaty from her own exercise.
She was wearing a simple pink sports bra along with a white sports leggings hugging her perfect long legs like a second skin.
Even though Michelle is a girl I sometimes can't get used to her dressings.
" Exposed" dressing if I may put it on.
Like that one night when she wore only two piece of clothing barely covering her upper body, I screamed and instantly look away as if I saw a murder scene.
The night was a bit chilly and she was going to go wearing only two pieces of clothings?!
I convinced Michelle to at least bring with her a coat. A full body coat which she was protesting but finally agreed at the end.
Ya Allah I don't know how they are able to wear such clothing, not that I judge but I always believe you should always preserve your body well and only show it to your rightful husband.
But anyways she was looking pretty too.
Jack steps away going back to his apple and munching on it acting as if nothing happened.
" O-okay" I said to her but my body suddenly became self conscious seeing him also coming in.
" Noor?? Are you ok??" Michelle asked my focus not to leave those cold black orbs but avert away suddenly feeling I couldn't look him in the eyes as if I did something wrong to him.
" Y-yes I will heat the Chai f-for you" I said as I turned my body to the stove and turned it on, re-heating the Chai.
Gosh!! Did he hear everything?? Or anything??? I don't think so because he came with Michelle. But why should I care if he heard it or not?! It's none of his business!
And Jack…. Ya Allah how could he develop feelings for me??! No… Why did he develop feelings for me??
He suddenly confessed out of nowhere and is probably waiting for my answer. Does he really love me?? Will he be willing to leave all this behind and convert just to be with me?
A sudden contact of skin was felt against my hand and I realize Jack was standing close to me " The Chai was overflowing"
He turned off the stove as I stepped away from him, flustered . He really meant what he said to me a few mins ago.
I poured the Chai into three cups and served them, Michelle being the first to sip it while she moaned in its sweetness.
" I can never say no for the foods you make!" She exclaimed really addictive Chai ever since I made it while I gave a small genuine smile of appreciation.
Jack also drank his cup and I can't shake the feeling of someone staring at me as if wanting me to turn and look at them.
Somehow in the back of my mind I know who would be openly staring at me without a care in the world.
And I was right.
My gaze caught those black eyes again from the corner of my eyes as he sips from his tea cup while still looking at me.
One thing that can never go unnoticed if you look at him is that he is very intimidating and is always in a foul mood.
I don't know if this person ever smiles or not. Does he even know how to??.
My only reason being dragged in this place is because of the debt. If I can pay the debt I can be set free and from there I can start a fresh start of life all by myself with no one to pressure or judge me.
But the question is how do I pay the debt that I don't even have the money to !
" HEY GUYS~!" A sound called out in a sing-song voice which I thought I would never hear again made its appearance and one person was not happy to hear it.
" Aghhh Fuck that bitch came again" Michelle groan knowing the really familiar sound belongs to none another than Suzy.
I chuckle at her reaction already imagining they will resume their role of Tom and Jerry.
They sure have a lot against each other for somebody having to live under the same roof.
The clicking sound of high heels were becoming louder indicating she was nearing the kitchen and so she was.
Suzy appeared wearing a white slang crop top with pairs of ripped black jeans shorts showing her long lean legs with pairs of cream high heels.
" Oh-! Hey babe!" Suzy greeted in her high pitched kind voice which I always thought is fake just to impress Leo and make him think she is a good person.
I doubt he doesn't know her true nature.
Hey don't get me wrong. I don't like to judge anyone. That's just how I think her actions are saying to me, seeing that she has two completely opposite personalities when she's with me and others and when Leo is present.
She removes her huge rectangular glass and walks to Leo kissing him on his cheeks. I looked away realizing that was an intimate act she did.
Ya Allah!! Why are these people so open when they are doing something intimate! That's just pure shamelessness!!
" Be Careful who gets close to you Leo. You don't wanna catch infectious diseases from them and die. That's just an embarrassing way to die for a Mafia Leader" Michelle warned playfully which I think she is indirectly directing it to Suzy.
Girl knows how to piss someone she hates. Go Michelle!.
" Are you telling me I have an infectious disease??" Suzy asked, her eyes burning in rage trying her best to not lose her composure as she looked at Michelle.
Here we go.
" hmm??? Are you talking to me??" Michelle dumbfully asked tilting her head with a complete confused expression but everyone knows she is playing dumb.
" Who else has opened their mouth?" Suzy bit back making Michelle scoff at her sassy remark as she stands tall .
Suzy is actually taller than me but shorter than others , maybe one or two? But since she is wearing heels it made her look tall , the same height as Michelle.
" Well glad to know you arent just a dumb bimbo " Michelle confessed and I swear I am having a hard time holding my laugh.
Jack was simply watching with amusement and if Andrew was here he would be encouraging them while recording it.
Yup that soo sounds like Andrew.
" YOU HA-"
" What did you come here for Suzy?" Leo interrupted and by the sound of his voice he doesn't want to be pissed right now.
I wonder why he looked like he will snap any second if anyone pressed the wrong button.
Yikes!
I take the now empty cups and the used pot to wash before quickly escaping from here because I don't want to be targeted by Suzy.
" I don't want your answer right away because I don't want to force you" I didn't realize Jack was standing right next to me whispering low enough for only I could hear.
He seriously should make a sound when walking!
I nodded my head glad that he wasn't pressuring me because by the way he confessed it was too much pressure and out of the blue for me.
I gave a thankful smile for his consideration before presuming to wash the cups " Thank you".
He smiled and said " I am sorry for touching you like that . I didn't mean to… it was just… in the heat of the moment thing"
I chuckled at his explanation because he looks so nervous right now. It's the first time I see him nervous.
Like a sad puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner.
" It's ok. I understand" I assured with a smile that stretched from one eye to the other.
I somehow figured he touched me without intending to because I know he respects my boundaries.
" Give it to me I will wash it" he said, taking the cup which I had just scrubbed with the soap from me .
" N-no give me I-"
" I got this so just relax" he assured me, moving me aside and did the dishes instead.
It would be nice if we had met in different situations so I could've just accepted his confession or thought about it without hesitation.
If I accept his confession will he be willing to change himself? Will he be willing to convert his religion?
I don't wanna pressure him into any of it because it's haram [Forbidden] to force anyone to convert against their will.
I sighed clueless on what to do. I turned and caught those set of black eyes looking at me.
As if it was a gun freezer I froze in my place unable to move. Everytime these orbs made contacts with mine I feel like I have done something wrong.
His jaw was clenched as if angry but his expression did not give any hint of it.
Why does he hates me so much?
