Fallen For The Arabian

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Twelve hours later, Sarah found herself waking up to sunlight peering out her room through the curtains. She yawns and stretches while taking a moment to view her surroundings once more. 'Who would have ever thought, that I will get to live in such a luxury room, not even a room but a freaking mansion'. She turned on her right and looked at the ray of sunshine peeking in. Taking her watch on the bed stand, she saw that it was four in the afternoon. Well, guess she was extremely tired that she overslept. She hoped she had not offended anyone by sleeping in.

Getting up from the bed, she took her toiletries and took her time in the shower. After she was done, she put her blue jeans with a half sleeve black shirt and put on her flat black shoes. With her natural hair pulled into a messy bun, she proceeded to head to the kitchen. Her stomach was demanding food.

The house was surprisingly quiet. She was known to having a good memory, so it was no surprise she was able to find the kitchen without getting lost. Once she entered the kitchen, she saw about six maids moving about with Mr. Butler strictly given out order. A petite maid, who was about 5'2, was the first one to spot her at the door. Her surprise must have alerted Mr. Butler, who quickly turned.

"My lady, I see you are finally back in the world of leaving"

With a nervous smile "I was exhausted"

"Yes, it was noticeable. You must be starving, what would you like to eat?"

"Do you have fruits; I could take a bowl of that then a sandwich will be fine"

Please with her choice, Mr. Butler only nodded and turned toward the staff that had stopped what they were doing to look at Sarah. In their language "what are you doing, she is no monument that can be observed, back to your work and Arimalia, please get the lady what she has requested"

"Yes," says Arimalia

Without wasting a minute, she pulled out the bowl of fruit that was already prepared for Sarah. With Mr. Butler showing her the way, they led Sarah to the terrace that gave straight to a beautiful garden with a fountain in the middle of it. Sarah was blown away by the cheers' beauty of it.

After they installed her, the maid excuses herself with the promise of bringing the sandwich for Sarah.

"Does the whole staff speak English?" asked Sarah to Mr. Butler

"Yes, it is one of the recommendations, but mind you, not everyone knows of this."

"I see" eating her lower lips she asked the question she didn't want to ask but had to "did Amir come back?"

"Yes, Mr. Amir had come back; he is currently working in his office on the second floor"

With that said, she took her bowl of fruit and started eating. A few minutes later, her sandwich was brought to which she enjoyed the delicacies of it. Satisfied that Sarah was enjoying her food, Mr. Butler excuses himself to continue to prepare for the night super.

In the meantime, upstairs on the second floor, Amir was viewing Sarah through the window. After coming from his base, he had gone straight to Sarah to see how she was doing. Her sleeping form had been a beauty to behold that he stayed there for an hour observing her. He hadn't met to, but his attraction for her was growing. He wanted to fight against it, yet he wanted to keep it. She was a woman and woman could not be trusted. But how he wishes.... brutally he removed himself from the window to sit back on his desk. He picks the phone and ring Alfred, the butler.

"Yes sir" answered Alfred

"When Ms. Sarah is over with her meal, have her brought to me" without awaiting a reply, he hanged up and immersed himself in his work.

Thirty minutes later, a soft knock sounded at his door. Without looking up he instructed for whoever it was to enter. He already knew who it was.

When Sarah heard the come in, she opened the door and slowly closed it. She watched Amir behind his office who without raising his head, indicated for her to take a sit. She silently walked toward the indicated chair and sat down. While waiting for Amir to be done with whatever he was typing away, she took the time to view his office. It was a simple office, with a library on the far left, the décor was of mahogany colors, and red carpet covered the floor. Before reaching the desk, there was a small table with two black couches on the side of it.

As she continued to observe the office, she failed to see that Amir had done typing and was now looking at her. It was the clearing of the throat that made her realize he was no longer typing. With a timid gesture of been caught, she looked toward Amir.

"I trust that you had a good rest," says Amir

"Yes, I had a great rest, your house is very huge and beautiful by the way"

"It was the intention"

Ok, thought Sarah

"Tonight, we will have guesses, for super, in the closet of your room; you will find a suitable dress to wear"

"Who are the guesses?"

"The minister of defense and the commander of the Syrian army, I trust you will be on your best behavior"

In other words, thought Sarah, don't humiliate me. Deciding to let that slide "when will I be able to go into the city to do what I came here to do"

Taken aback by the seriousness in her voice, Amir hesitated a little bit to answer, was she already in a hurry to leave. "Tomorrow we will go to the city"

Satisfied with the answer, Sarah stood to leave "was there anything else, you wanted to add"

Amir felt the offense rolling in waves, her demeanor had changed and she looked pissed but was holding it inside. He wondered what had he just said to have her character changed so "No nothing more"

"Good may I leave then?"

Funny she thought since she already stood to leave yet requested if she could.

"Yes, you may"

As she closed the door, Amir, whack his brain by trying to understand what he said that offended her but he could not find it. So instead he promised to redeem himself later for whatever wrong he just did.
