She didn't get that and continued talking "Oh i missed those times. Do you remember our first date? It was so much fun" She laughed yet again

Noor gripped the fork on her hands, making such a loud, clinking noise

"Let me tell you something Noor, you're so lucky to get him as your husband. He could be the most romantic person on earth" She winked at Noor

"Yusra" Nabeel turned to face her, and called her name in a warning voice

Yusra wouldn't stop, she ignored him and continued, directing her statement at Noor "And do you know he gave his first kiss to me? Oh Gosh i will never forget that kiss, it was so magical and amazing I'm sure he'd never..."

Nabeel cut her short "Yusra!" His voice raising an octave

That does it! Who does this woman think she is. Noor finally grasped what game she is playing. The woman is still in love with her so called boo and thus trying to get Noor jealous

"I'm so glad you two had fun while growing up. Though he never spoke to me about you, maybe you're not as important to him as you thought, that's why" Noor shrugged non chalantly

Two can play this game hunay! Noor mentally praised herself

Nabeel decided to stop things before they step any further "It's late, let's get to bed" He stood up and quickly cleared the dinner table then took Noor's hand in his, literally dragging her to the master bedroom

"Don't mind her, she can be a little.." He paused trying to find the right word to describe her attitude

"Insane?" She suggested and he just laughed in response

She leaned against the bed frame, her eyes drifting shut "So long lost love huh?" She opened her eyes as she watched as he moved towards her on the other side of the bed

"Listen, all what she said can you ignore her? It's just what she does best, trying to get on people's nerves"

"Obviously" Noor laughed in response "She's still in love with you though"

As much as Noor wanted to deny, but it hurts. Hearing some girl who's not herself mention how he gave his first kiss to her is not something you hear everyday. And even though she's acting as if she's not affected, her heart and blood are boiling with plain jealousy

And the urge to kill her of course, her conscience added

"It doesn't matter Noor" He moved closer and held her hands "As long as i'm not in love with her. She'll be leaving first thing in the morning, i promise. I don't even know why Ya Nadia brought her here in the first place"

When Noor kept mute, he looked up her with questionable eyes "Don't you trust me?" He spoke, his voice just an octave above a whisper

She was reluctant at first, but then whispered back "I do" Truth be told, she is scared to the core. Scared he'll just turn his back on her, scared he'll go back to his apparent first love, scared he'll not love her anymore

Intimidated by her beauty, her body, her confidence and boldness, but that doesn't mean Noor would easily give in

"Well then trust me when i say it's you, it's always you. Whatever happened between the two of us, it's in my bitter past that I don't like remembering"

Noor nodded as he pulled her closer to his body, feeling her warmth. He turned off the lights and cuddled her tighter whereas her head rested on his sculpted chest, listening to his steady heartbeat

Her eyes fluttered close and the last thing she heard before drifting into a slumber was a soft peck on her temple and something along the lines of "It will always be you"
