In love with a Sheikh

Chapter 3

Karim was walking down the halls following Sora who was carrying the meal tray for him, he wondered how he could have said such things. He felt guilty for what he had been able to revive her unconsciously, put her in a harem Pff... he didn't even have one anymore.He already knew that Samira had been r***d in the past, but what he didn't know was that she would still be traumatized today. Stupid joke! How to apologize? Where to start ? What to say ? A lot of questions swirled around in his head.

Sora stopped in front of Samira's room and waited patiently for her. He took the tray and saw her disappear down the halls.

He stood in the doorway for a good fifteen minutes before knocking two measured knocks on the door. When he heard a small voice asking him to come in.

When she saw the king she leapt from her bed to take the tray from his hands he refused to give it to her.

- but what are you doing there your majesty? Give me this tray why are you holding it?

He approached the small table in the corner of the room, sat down on the cushions and invited her with a simple look to come and sit next to him without saying a single word, he was anxious and therefore the silence worked in his favor. She came shyly and sat down next to him.

He began to feed her and forbade her to refuse his offer. He felt his teeth on his fingers every time he put them in his mouth, he always tried not to put too much just enough.

And she ate without complaining she savored his long fingers every time he put them in her mouth and even wished he did every day, but preferred to savor the moment. As he had just put a handful of food in her mouth, he took the opportunity to express himself.

- Mira I'm sorry to have hurt you far from it were my true intentions. I just wanted to get your attention, make you laugh.

He found himself explaining to a woman something he didn't do often, he felt so shy what could possibly be happening to him??

- His Majesty.. See

He cut her stuffing her mouth with a piece of meat

- Karim, just call me Karim will you?? .. .stop talking to me after all you eat at my table so don't do it anymore OK Mira

- Yes your.... Uh... Karim, you don't have to apologize

He cleared his throat and she swallowed hard before continuing.

- You couldn't have known what happened to me, you're not at fault in this story

- Here eat, you like it. It looked like he enjoyed feeding her. What are you telling me there Samira, but I should have paid more attention to my guest, do you forgive me??

- Of course you are fully forgiven, don't worry. Oh and thank you for the meal now I'll get rid of all that you can go and rest. She said lifting the tray after he thoroughly washed his hands.

- Put it down right away, it's not your job, I'll send Sora or someone else to pick it up.

He gets up and with a feverish step he found himself in front of her. She could feel his hot breath on her skin and swallowed hard. He lifted his head to him and met his gaze.

- Now I want you to sleep, I would like to see you tomorrow morning for breakfast before you help Jasmine with her preparations, I will send a guard to pick you up is that ok with you?

- Yes, that's fine with me.

With these words, he turned and left the room without saying another word. Samira couldn't breathe properly until she heard her door close. .she didn't believe it, the king himself had just fed her, the girl who was being made fun of on campus, and on top of that he had just invited her to have breakfast with him, If c It was a dream that would play out in her sleep she wished she couldn't wake up again.

~~

Sound asleep, she could not get up until she heard a vigorous knocking on her door. She jumps and runs to the door. A guard was patiently waiting for her and when she opened the door, he could see that it was from a deep sleep.

- Hello, what can I do for you??

- his majesty informs you that he will be in the garden in about thirty minutes

- Ok thank you

It wasn't until she closed the door that she understood the guard's message, the KING! He had invited her to have breakfast with him this morning and she had slept like a baby. What a stunner!!

She ran into the bathroom and took a shower instead of a bath. She wore a long flowery dress that was quite fluid and light. Tied her hair in a ponytail edged in a beautiful braid.

When he saw her arrive he lost his words and could only admire her with reserve so as not to get carried away. He wore a simple white long-sleeved t-shirt that perfectly outlined his well-drawn pecs and his muscles too, his hair was like disheveled, but it was done on purpose.

He stood up slowly without saying a word to her and pulled out the chair so she could sit down and sat down next to her.

- Hello Mira, how are you?

- well your.... Uh.. Karim and you??

- It's fine, he said without looking at her.

- you are not going to work today??

-No, I took my day and stop talking a little more like you would be better

-if you want...

He took a peach from the fruit bowl and cut it into quarters, while a piece

- hey, it's delicious

- no thanks, Peaches aren't for me, I tasted them in America and I really didn't like them, she said waving her index finger from left to right

- these were harvested from my garden this morning, and I want you to taste its wonders.

- Nope...

He put the fruit in her mouth before she started to argue. To his amazement she appreciates it and he smiles out of the corner of his mouth.

- do you see how delicious they are... Good luck, what are you planning to do today??

- I will spend the day with Jasmine to calm her down, she must be anxious because of this wedding

- i see you adoring your sister while turning her teacup

- if you could know how... Unfortunately, I have to leave after his ceremony, it's a shame.

- really ?? .. As soon as that?! Looking really surprised

-yes, I have to finish my studies before returning to settle permanently in the country,

- What are you studying there??

- The law, I specialize in the defense of women victims of aggression of all kinds

- I understand

He really understood that this woman wanted to help those who could not be defended as she had not been defended in the past. He could see in her beautiful blue eyes such commitment that he shivered. She was strong, she was a fighter. But how could such a young woman, adorned with such great courage, flinch at a single word. That's when he decided to give it a try.

- Do you want to visit my harem with me?? Staring at her

She immediately lifted her head and locked eyes with his. Why would you want to visit a harem? And the more he apologized why hurt her? She lowered her head on her toast and there he saw tears streaming down her cheeks, which grew more and more flushed. What had he done he regretted after saying that stupid sentence?

- Samira, look how fragile you are, it was enough for me to pronounce the word harem for you to get carried away... He stopped for a moment before resuming. I myself studied law and you have to be stronger than you already are in order to be able to show your future clients that you can protect them from their attackers. Put his chin between his thumb and forefinger to see her face, he quietly wiped her flushed cheeks before giving her a smile. Am I not telling you the truth?

- Yes Karim, you are absolutely right, but this memory still haunts day and night... And... And

- And I will be there and your sister too to help you, but for that you will have to stay here with us

- and my studies I can't stop there, after all this journey, she replied, turning her head towards the flowers

- Who talked about stopping your studies, I will ask that we transfer you here, it will only be a matter of hours

- Really ! Eyes still on the flowers.

- Yes, I promise you.. While taking her hand

- Thank you Karim, but she pulled her hand away before she turned all red

He wanted to take back his hand and his gaze when Sora arrived and interrupted his gesture.

- Lady Samira, Lady Jasmine would like to see you in her chambers.

- Alright let's go, I'm right behind you… Oh. Thank you Karim for the breakfast and also for the peaches. She winked at him before starting to follow Sora.

A young lady who allows herself to wink at the king, for him, it was a first. He smiles stupidly before taking his phone to make a call

- I would like you to find the university in which Samira is enrolled in order to transfer her here as soon as possible, you have until tonight.
