i heart you

Chapter 6

Jabeen knows that she always wanted to get out of this jail she was trapped in for the past years. She always knew this isn't where her soul belonged. It's her golden goal this get herself out of this land. For that even if she has to lie to Sam for the first time she would. Raising one of her eyebrows she says,

"Whoa What?"

"Please tell me you didn't."

Picking up the tray of tea cups and while leaving the kitchen she says boldly,

" I wish I could . I mean he's hot."

Sam stops her, yelling,

"You would never."

" Of course no . I ain't crazy. I would never try to ruin your bromance," she softly chuckles.

" Okay"

" By the way , who told you that stupid thing," she asks not being too obvious.

" That doesn't matter."

" But I wanna know ." Her eyes sparkled.

" You know what? f**k it . I trust you and I know you will never do such thing ." saying that Sam leaves while Jabeen stood there with the tray and holding some guilt in her heart.

The painful sound of the alarm clock reaches her ears. She takes the pillow beside her and covers her head .The alarm clock stops beeping when she realizes she could have just turned it off before. She removes the pillow from her head and places it back to its previous position . Just when she thought she is going have a nice sound sleep again, the sound of the awful guitar playing ruins it. She jumps waking up and looks at the wall clock and sees it's just 9 am. She wanted to fall back asleep but Jasmine sprinkles some water on her face . She screamed,

"What the f**k are you doing?"

" I'm so sorry. But didn't you tell me last time to wake you up early whenever he stays here."

" Who?"

" You know, Sam's friend," Jasmine points out.

"s**t! I completely forgot." She says as she gets up with her wild hair.

She goes to the bathroom but the door was locked . She says,

" Jasmine! Why the door is locked?"

" You mom's there."

" But doesn't she know I used the bathroom after waking up"

" How should i know ?"

" Next time please when you see her entering my room warn her , okay?"

" Okay."

" Good. Now I have to go to the one in the halls. And please tell Adil to stop playing."

" Sure. But......"

Jabeen goes to the bathroom and as soon as she opened the door she sees Tyler shirtless drying his curly brown hair through a hair dry .

She says,

"s**t , sorry."

She bangs the door closed .Her mouth was open and her cheeks went pink. Tyler gets out saying ,

" Hey, it's okay. No prob. I was just leaving."

" Oh okay."

" Stop acting like you haven't seen me shirtless before," he laughs.

" Yeah I am sorry. I don't have he time to stalk you on your i********: profile to see your stunning abs."

"Then how did you know it's on my i********:?"

Being silent for a few seconds she says ,

" Um.... A friend told me ."

" So your friends stalk me now?"

" You don't need to worry about that." She says crossing her arms.

Tyler looks at Jabeen from top to bottom making her feel uncomfortable. He says,

" Are you seriously wearing shorts?"

" Yeah so? What's wrong with shorts?"

" You live in a house with Mr. Ahmed . You do know that right?"

" Well he ain't watching what I wear during sleeping."

"You haven't changed."

" So I have been told. Now can you please leave or I am going to pee in my shorts "

"And that will be a beautiful scenery to watch." He laughs

" Ha-ha very funny. Now please leave."

Giving a bow Tyler says,

" Sure your highness."

While getting out their shoulders touched cause the door was less wide. As soon as Jabeen sees Tyler leaving she starts giving the whip move like she's just that middle school girl who's secretly likes her brother's best friend. She says,

"I just saw him Shirtless."

Jasmine follows Jabeen and seeing the conversation and the dancing with a laugh she says,

"Are you hearing yourself?"

Jabeen sees Jasmine laughing at her , so sticking her tongue out she bangs the door saying, "Erase this from your mind, please."

Getting out of the bathroom she goes to her room with nothing on except a wrapped white towel over her body. She locks her door and starts the adventures of finding clothes .

Finally getting the ripped jeans she wants Tyler to see , she gets downstairs for breakfast. At the breakfast table everyone was already there. She sees two empty seats . She chooses the one beside Tyler leaving the other one beside Ahil empty. After the great struggle of finding her seat she looked at Tyler saying,

"Good Morning!"

"I thought you wish people when you first see them in the morning."

Making a face , Jabeen says,

" Such things doesn't suit your mouth."

" What things ?"

"Sarcasm and Jelly"

" And may I know why?

"Because wearing Jelly is an art and no one ain't pro at that except me. "

"Wearing what?" he says confused.

"You have Jelly on your face." She simply states.

Sam interrupts them saying,

"Can you two give it break?"

Adil and Ahil starts making fun of them . Jabeen looks at her dad and sees him staring at her and that's when she stops talking .

Mr. Ahmed asks Tyler,

"So what are you planning to do since now you're graduated?"

"Uncle, I think that it's finally the time when I should help my dad in his business in France."

"And when are you planning to leave?"

"Next week I guess."

Jabeen says stammering with food stuck in her mouth,

"Wait what?"

Jabeen's dad says,

"Do you wanna say something?"

Gulping the water she replies with her eyes down,"No."

When she sees her dad back eating she whispers into Tyler's ear,

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Adil sitting beside Jabeen whispers to her,

" Why should he? Are you his girlfriend?"

Jabeen getting upset leaves the table. She went straight to the backyard . Sam gets confused about Jabeen's behavior and so was Jabeen's parents. Tyler tried to get up to talk to Jabeen but Sam stops him saying,

" You guys stay here. I'll get her."

In the backyard he sees Jabeen being all sad through the tree house's window. He enters the tree house and sat beside here saying,

" Do you see that blue thing right there?"

Jabeen looks at the globe saying,

" Yeah."

" Remember we made a promise holding it that we would never lie to each other, when I found out that you dyed my hair green and blamed it to Jasmine. "

Jabeen gave a soft giggle saying,

"Yes."

"Then tell me what's making you break that promise? What are you hiding?."

Out bursting into tears Jabeen says,

"It's true. I kissed Ty."

"What?"

"I am sorry Sam. I know you don't like things complicated like this. But we were both drunk. Now we realized our mistake and we are trying to forget it."

"Jabeen! you know that kiss is just the start."

" I know. Ty told me that he's not into me. So, I thought let's just forget it ."

" Are you really going to forget ?"

" I thought..."

" No thoughts Jabeen. You can't fall for him. He's going to leave."

Jabeen hugs Sam and starts crying on his shoulder saying,

" Please don't hate me"

" It's not you , I am starting to dislike."

" No! Please . Promise me you guys will remain the same."

"Jabeen! I don' know if I can do that."

"Please you have to. For me "

"I will see."

When Sam was leaving Jabeen says from behind,

"Promise me . You won't tell him a thing."

Sam stops for a while and not looking back at Jabeen in the eyes , he says,

"I promise."

And as always he kept his promise .

After pouring her heart out to him she enters the house. The voices in her head is telling her to talk to Sam but she tried not to listen . She wants to give him some space. So, she turned the TV on to distract her mind but Tyler suddenly shouts at Jabeen,

"Did you tell him?"

Jabeen looking back at Tyler says,

"What are talking about?" Hoping it's not what she thinks.

"Stop acting like you don't know"

" I am sorry. I didn't mean to ."

"If you wanted him to know we should have said together. Now he thinks it' my fault kissing his baby sister."

Tyler says again,

"Oh I forgot you are not his sister cuz if you were you would have actually cared ."

Jabeen's head was down. She couldn't face Tyler . Not facing him she says

" What did he tell you?"

" Nothing he isn't taking to me "

"Then what's the problem?"

" Jabeen I am not a fool. I know what and when my best friend does. I can read his face because I freaking know him more than you."

Before she could stop Tyler leaves the house. Jabeen's mom sees Jabeen removing the tears from her cheeks. She is standing at a distance and observing the whole thing. She doesn't know what they were talking about but she knew that something was wrong. Despite of helping Jabeen she goes back to what she was doing. Jabeen turned the TV off and texted Aabir . Soon after that Jabeen's phone starts ringing .

" Hey did you get my text?"

" Yeah"

"Just yah?'

"What do you want me to say?"

"That, I am happy for you?"

"I am not."

"But I am finally getting out of here."

"And you think that's the best you can do?"

"What? Why are you always like this? Always against my wishes."

"Your wishes, they ain't good. You are trying to run from your problems. That's never good. "

"Then what do you want me to do? Cancel the whole thing at the last minute?"

Jabeen starts crying over the phone. After a minute Aabir hangs up saying,

" I never expected this from you ."

Aabir never hangs up on Jabeen. Sam comes to living room and caught Jabeen thinking.

" What are you thinking?"

"About my best friend," she says with a broken voice.

" I didn't even know you had any friends."

Jabeen pokes Sam at his stomach with her elbow saying,

"This isn't funny. I am serious."

"Uh uh? "

"Yeah"

"Why don't you just call him up?"

"He hung up on me"

"There must be a reason."

" He thinks I am making the wrong choices."

" Aren't you?"

" No. Honestly for the first time I think this the best thing I am doing ."

"Then explain him that."

"But all he thinks is that I can't handle myself there ."

"Are you sure that's the only reason he doesn't want you to go?"

" Yeah I guess so."

"Moron. He's your best friend. No one wants to lose their best friend."

" Then why are you ?"

"He kissed my sister, duh? I am actually doing a favor not talking to him. I could have done worse."

"For God's sake Sam , it's only a kiss . Why can't you just forgive him?"

"You don't have to worry about that."

"What?"

Sam changes the topic saying,

"What are going to do now ?"

"I have no idea. Aabir's not receiving my calls" she looks at the black screen of her phone again.

"Then talk to him in person and sort it out."

Jabeen gets up and rushes to the garage. She calls her driver. The driver says,

"Miss, you can't go out now."

"But why?"

"Your dad instructed me not to let you go out along after dawn"

Jabeen goes to Sam and says,

"The driver isn't letting me go. What am I supposed to do now?"

"Hey chill. He's just doing his duties."

" Do I look like I care?" She says furiously.

Sam takes his keys from the shelf saying , "Wait let me drive you there."
