Unforgettable

Spices and everything nice

FATIMA'S 

I couldn't believe all this time I've been deceived by Bashir, I cried and cried. I picked up my phone and called the one person who always told me the truth no matter what, ya Fahd, I told him everything and he thought for a while before saying... 

"Fatima you just have to bear 

with it cause you guys just got married, and for you to leave his house is an embarrassment. don't forget he married you to make his parents happy so you should do the same."

I was just crying, I felt betrayed and stupid. it's like batula knew it from the start. I slept off without even knowing. 

*********

I woke up in the morning determined to stay and endure everything, I cleaned the house and made breakfast before he woke up. I prepared lunch when he went to the mosque, the same goes for dinner.

That happened for a while until one day, I took my bath like I normally do. got dressed and went to sweep the living room, as I entered I saw someone sitting there. he scared the hell out of me cause I wasn't really expecting anyone here, he smiled and  I turned to leave but he stopped me, he told me to do what I came to do. 

I was sweeping but he kept staring at me weirdly, biting his lips making weird sounds while he looked back at me. 

I stood up to him to tell him I didn't like the way he stared but he replied with "you're my wife"  whatever dude. 

++++++++

I usually wait for him to enter the bathroom for his shower before I go In to make his bed, I waited until I heard the tap flowing, and then I came in quietly. I was doing his bed when he suddenly came out with only a towel on .... OH MY GODDDD... THE MUSCLE on this guy is no joke, he looked so that I forgot I was staring at him. I snapped out of it and ran out of the room, I went straight to my room and scold myself for what I did earlier. 

*********

I served dinner and he liked it, I was about to leave when he told me to stay and eat with him. I got really mad, he told me to say what was on my mind and I did. I was done talking when he told me I was spending a night with him, my heart started beating faster I mean no way am I gonna sleep with a guy that doesn't love me. I protested to it but he replied that he felt a bit sick, I further explained to him to come to find me if he got sick and went back to my room. 

..................... 

I Woke up around 1:39 because I was thirsty so I decided to get some water downstairs, as I was going downstairs I heard noises in Bashir's room.

I entered his room to find him laying on the floor helplessly and breathing heavily, I rushed towards him... 

"Bashir, what's wrong are you okay?"

I helped him up and laid him down on the bed while his headrest was on my lap, I was crying because I was so scared I don't wanna lose him, I immediately thought of someone to call... 

"Hello, mama.. "

" Fatima, what's wrong? is anything wrong that you calling me at this time of the night? "

I told her about his situation and she told me he had chronic ulcers and possible places to search for his drug. I looked for it, found it, got water from his fridge, and gave it to him. he wrapped his hands around my waist and hugged me tightly... 

"it hurts he groaned"

"am sorry bash" the tears again. 

*******

I woke up in the morning and Bashir wasn't by my side, I heard noises downstairs and rushed down to see him watching WWE and cheering for his best wrestler Roman reigns. 

"seriously? "I asked sounding pissed and I went back upstairs angry. 

I was so angry because I thought he was dead or something he should at least do something positive, I didn't cook the whole day. I stayed locked up in the room, When he went out I prepared some chicken salad with mushrooms and shrimp and went back to my room.

*******

Around 1:30 I went to get an extension wire cause mine was faulty, I walked down to the living room and Bashir sat there watching furious 5. I picked the extension wire and was about to leave when someone hugged me from behind...... 

"am sorry, I know I scared you but I thought I would freak you out If I stayed next to you till you woke up, am really sorry. " I turned to look at him... 

" it's okay"  and I smiled faintly. he cleared his throat and then asked... 

"but your sleeping in my room, right? "

" No way your better now so no."

"Hmm OK Brad Pitt's movie is next so you should stay and watch It, I'll go grab my phone upstairs."

He took a while before he came back downstairs and then we watched the movie. 

*******

After it was over we went upstairs just before I opened the door to my room he asked... 

"are you sure you don't wanna come to my room? it's the last time I'm asking. "

" no, thank you"

he raised his thick eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, that's new I thought. I grabbed the handle of my door to open it but found out it was locked, I slowly turned to look at him. 

"oh no, you didn't? "

" oh whatever do you mean? "he mocked me." if you're ready, come in," he said and closed the door behind him. 

Of course, there were other rooms but it was in another different part of the house, I waited until I heard him slightly snore then I entered his room and laid down on the far end of the other side. I pull the duvet over me and was ready to fall asleep when he grabbed my waist from behind giving me a back hug. I got scared 

"no, it's not what I'm thinking, is it? he

smiled. 

" for goodness sake, Fatima is a man, and the clothes you wear don't help at all."

"I'm sorry I won't wear them again, let me go please."

"I don't think so... "

The next thing I felt was his lips on mine, and before I knew it we were lost in each other's body and warmth... 

+++++++

I woke up in the morning and I felt like someone was watching me, I finally decided to open my eyes, and immediately I did I found Bashir staring at me. I panicked and stood up..... 

"wow looking at you this way I am lucky you're my wife"

he said staring at me up and down licking his lips, then I realized I was naked I quickly dragged the duvet to cover myself and rushed out. 

*******

I took my bath and went downstairs, I was watching when he came in and put his head on my lap. we were watching when he started kissing me... 

"Stop it I'm trying to watch. "

" What did I do again?"

"Just stop."

But after a few times I gave in we were making out when suddenly someone entered, we didn't notice them until after few seconds and as we turned we saw mama and mommy, afifa and Yaya FAHAD. we stood up immediately, I adjusted and zipped my dress while he put on his shirt. 

"sorry mama I didn't know you were coming. "

" we've been calling you since and there was no answer so we thought that maybe it's because you're illness is serious or something, but I think I was wrong, you're perfectly fine." 

I walked out in shame, I went to the kitchen and stood there feeling embarrassed when Bashir walked in... 

"baby what is it?"  he asked holding my hand. 

"I don't know I feel so embarrassed you know" 

"don't OK? it's going to be OK. we're married so they know it was bound to happen."  I nod my head in agreement... 

" now smile for me, I wanna see you smile."  I smiled and covered my face feeling shy, he removed my hands and hugged me. "I'll take the drinks to them you go get properly dressed." 

I went upstairs wore my veil, fixed my face, and came back to the living room. 

"So how are you feeling mommy asked him?"

"Am good am feeling a lot better."

" Am sure you do" she said smiling.

" I hope you all doing fine and there's no problem?"

"There isn't maman fati," his mom said laughing.

" Mommy is not like that" I added covering my face.

" look at how big your cheeks are" his mom teased him.

" Seriously mama I noticed that too, but not to worry I'll shed it if I start working."

++++++

I led mama and mommy with affifa to my room to pray while ya FAHAD was in the living room so I took the praying mat to him.

" I don't love him, I just wanna go home" he teased me...

" ya FAHAD seriously?"

"what am just teasing you and it's fun".

After a while, mommy called me... 

"so did it already happen or did we interrupt you? "

I bent my head down feeling shy... 

"answer now," Mommy said looking curious.

"It....... D... Did"

"that's good, remember you're married now don't go saying things to your friends. "

"I won't...... I promise. "

++++++

They left after some time and I sat on the couch scrolling down my phone... 

"I'm sleepy baby," he said putting his head on my lap, I put my phone down and started touching his face and hair 

"don't stop that I like it"  he commented. and Before I noticed he started sleeping.
