In love with a Sheikh

Chapter 2

There he was, the king was standing just behind her, a few paces away. Samira had finally figured out where she was: the king's bedroom.

She was shaking so much that he could see her body shaking all over the place and could only see her long black hair, loose, falling to her knees. How will she get away from this problem that she didn't even look for, it's simple, she was looking for her room.

-Jasmine what are you doing here?? he asked hoarsely

Slowly she began to turn around, until meeting his sharp gaze, she lowered her head directly.

- sorry your majesty... I... I got lost in the corridors of your huge palace forgive me. Please, she said in an inaudible voice

- In the end, Jasmine, how can you lie so badly? You've been living here for nearly a year already. Eh ? Anger was slowly rising in his voice.

-Oh no.. Your Majesty. I am not Jasmine.. I am Samira her twin sister. I came for her wedding. Always head down

-You could have told me now, I owe you an apology, dear Samira.

He tried to see her face, but it was very difficult, because her long hair blocked the way to that seen as a protective barrier. .he had very often heard Jasmine talk with Aziz about her twin sister whom she commonly called her double, but he had no idea that she would be exactly like her, same thin and thin body, same long black hair, and even their faces were identical.

He had always secretly dreamed of having a wife like Jasmine who would take care of him, take care of their children, take care of his people. He would never have imagined that there could be two women like Jasmine and now she was being served to him on a golden platter so shy and scared, he swallowed hard when she looked up and parted her protective hair.

By Allah what a beauty! He couldn't believe his eyes, he thought he saw this woman he often dreamed of and that's when he could detect a small difference between the two: the color of the eyes. Jasmine she had light brown eyes, her eyes were a beautiful ocean blue. He found her strangely beautiful in those jeans that hugged her doe body perfectly, he was blown away.

- Please excuse me Your Majesty!! Heading for the door so he'll stop staring naked

- I would have liked to meet you in other circumstances Miss Samira, we will meet again later for dinner, My castle is your home now made like your home. He said from his back to her when she ran to the door

-Thank you

She couldn't believe her eyes, he was handsome. Nope ! So beautiful she thought she was dreaming, she thought, running down the stairs. What would he think of her, find his advisor's fiancée's sister in his apartment what a shame for her.

But he had such a poise in his gestures, in his voice, that he probably didn't realize it. His dark eyes were so piercing and tamer that she thought she was shot when he looked at her.

Lost in thought, she bumped into Sora who was immediately alerted.

- Samira, are you alright?...Looking worried.

- Yes... Sora, I got lost in the corridors of this huge palace... Can you help me find my room?? In search of air to express oneself properly

-of course, you should have told me when we were in the kitchen earlier, I would have gladly accompanied you

She just shook her head up and down to show him that what she said was true. The king had to find her in his apartment for her to understand that she still needed a guide so that she could get used to it. She walked right behind Sora so as not to get lost a second time.

-it's this one

-thank you... Many thanks

Karim was in his office, still thinking about that "Samira" who wandered around in his thoughts with the long black hair and her jeans. Basically she was like the Jasmine of his dreams except for her eyes. Yes !! His eyes blue and innocent, mostly filled with fear of having found himself in the king's chamber, he sketched a dreamy smile at the thought of it.

When suddenly there is a knock on his door which took him out of his torpor.

- What is the visit of the future groom worth to me? Asked Karim, tapping lightly on the back of his adviser

- I need something, can you help me??

- Oh... I know what you want. That's why I'm announcing that I'm releasing you for a moment so that you can finish preparing for your wedding, he said solemnly with a smile on his face.

- Thank you Karim, that's just what I needed, Jasmine is in all her states, hugging him.

Karim moved away towards the window, looked at the court and seemed pensive. Then retraced his steps before taking a seat in his chair arms crossed on the table.

Aziz worried, as he knew something was bothering his friend.

- Are you okay Karim? Seems like something's been going through your mind, he said, staring as if trying to read her mind.

- Indeed Aziz, turning his seat to put his back

- always say, I'm your adviser after all

- If you want to know, I found a woman in my room just now when I got home. Always with your back turned to Aziz

- I had however ordered the maids to let the men take care of your room, If that's what bothers you I'll solve your problem. He looked very serious.

- Oh no it's not her, he replied, turning his seat to face him... It was Samira

-Samira!!! Astonishment could be seen in his eyes. But what could she be doing there??

-She apparently got lost in my huge castle, he said making quotation marks with his fingers, Yes the twin of your future wife

- the poor. She must have been destabilizing her, besides knowing you you must not have been very gentle with her??

- She was already upset enough for me to add to it. Getting up to stand in front of the window... The resemblance is striking, except...

- Yes,.. Except what?? What did you notice that I didn't see huh?

- the blue color of his eyes, they are so plunging he replied with his eyes in the clouds

- do you already like my sister-in-law?? With a mocking look

- no, not yet, she just intrigues me a bit

- Ah ah ah ah ah.. So much the better

The discussion stopped when Sora invited himself into the room to announce the meal time.

They walked silently into the dining room and took their seats. Aziz near Jasmine to the left of the king who was seated at the end of the table and right next to him an empty place, that of Samira.

- And Samira? Asked Aziz as if he knew the question Karim was dying to ask but couldn't.

- She must be on her way, I sent Sora to warn her

When she shyly appeared in a cute white dress that came to her knees. Her hair was stopped in a long braid which seemed to shorten it. She had no makeup on, her naturally pink, luscious lips embellishing it with her cheeks instinctively blushing when she saw the king.

- Mira come, take a seat near Karim

She stepped forward timidly, blushing even more, for the king gazed at her as a predator stalks his prey.

As she sat down, she unwittingly fixed her gaze on Karim's, wanting to quickly turn her head to escape his eyes, she felt her curl fall.

As she bent down to pick it up she bumped her head against the king's. He straightened up and put the earring in her ear.

- It's ok Mira, she said worried

- yes Mina it's fine

- you really hurt me Samira!!!

Ashamed Samira lowered her head and wondered what could happen to her after this incident. She was disturbed and blushed even more, How embarrassing it was.

- don't worry my look-alike Karim won't eat you

-Oh yes I surely won't eat her, I'll lock her in my harem because of that he joked

But to his dismay, Samira left the table with tears in her eyes, she left so fast that he couldn't stop her. But what had just happened he didn't understand anything, worse he felt guilty.

- So what did I say was wrong? Completely lost

- Harem answered Jasmine in a voice hoarse with sadness

-But it was just a joke, I sure wouldn't put her in a harem...Looking surprised

- that's what he was telling her while hitting her began to explain Jasmine... He told her while r****g her while she was protecting me that he needed lots of girls like her in a big harem.

She let a silence fall in the room before continuing.

- she suffered so much and I couldn't do anything, because she had forbidden me to move for fear that he would do the same to me. She fell into tears in Aziz's arms... Catched her breath then said I'm going to bring her meal to her room let me leave the table

- no let me go, I need to apologize to her

- tomorrow maybe, wiping his eyes

- let him go it's a matter of honor, otherwise he won't sleep well tonight.
