Captive In The Spotlight

Chapter Seven

"What!" The two exclaimed in unison.

"Yeah so I need to go right now. I don't even understand how's that possible. I really don't want this evening ruined so stay here with Musab and he's going to take you home. I really need to go now, bye love."
Ben concluded and left hurriedly without listening to Fateemah's whimper.

Musab sighed heavily and took a swig. "So back to my question?" He gave her a stern look and didn't miss the shock on her face.

"Musab don't you even dare! This is the reason why I wanted to see you, I need you to back off, I understand the fact that you don't like Ben and it's way none of your business and you made it your life's mission. Leave me alone. Ignore whatever rumor it is you've heard cause they're not true. I am fine and okay with him. We love each other so don't you even dare cross the limit again and leave Raheem out of this."

His shoulders slumped. Ignore! How could he ignore such a big thing. He stared straight into her eyes and they were devoid of emotions. What has gotten into this girl. Apart from her hatred towards him he sensed there's more to it. Or is she under a spell. Why won't she see or sense and foul play with Ben. He sighed heavily and gave her a worried and tired look.

"Fateemah I really care about you. I can't see evil on the way for you and ignore it. Please listen to me. Please." He wanted to touch her hand but he refrained. His gaze bore into her. His eyes were full of unsaid emotions. There's love and worries in his eyes. For a moment Fateemah froze due to the tenderness in his voice and the intensity of his gaze. They stared at each other for few moments before Fateemah regained her consciousness and cleared her throat, tearing away from his gaze.

"Why do you care? Why won't you let fall into the hands of evil and it's not as if it's your first time doing that. Watching me suffer."

Musab tore his gaze for a brief moment. "Fateemah I..... I really care about you and I never mean any harm back then. I sincerely didn't mean to hurt you then."

"Well you did. Musab stop this. I really don't care if you care or not. Why do you even care about me?"

Musab gave her a pained smiled. "Fateemah you're like my younger sister."

Fateemah hissed in irritation. Sister! What the heck! She couldn't help but feel disappointed and that made her more angrier.

"So do you kiss all your sisters and walk in on them naked?" Musab gasped in shock. He definitely wasn't expecting what she said at all.

"Or do you promise them love and all and the next minute you break and shatter their hearts in the cruelest way possible?" Fateemah fumed with anger. Memories of the past flooded her mind and all she started seeing became red.

"Fateemah I....... I really didn't mean to hurt you like that. You were not the only one hurt here I did too. It hurts not be with you. It hurts to see you slip away from me. It hurts to loose our beautiful friendship and most of all it hurts like hell to see you with him and like this."

"Fateemah I am really really sorry for hurting you that way. I never stopped loving you. I think about you all the time and I do not mean those words I said in the past. I really don't want to see you hurt like this. It kills me when I know how much you hated me. I really am sorry. Please listen to me."

Fateemah heart started beating so fast as she stared at the guy she once loved staring at her as if she's the most beautiful creature on earth. She couldn't help but admire him and once again she turned into the seventeen year old girl who's fallen head over heels in love. She felt calm just by looking at him and she melted under his intense gaze and warmth spread through her body.

"Fateemah Ben is going to hurt you. He's a monster and an evil." Fateemah snapped herself into reality. She wiped the corner of her eyes.

"Musab this conversation is over. If you dare tell Raheem about this I'm definitely going to tell Ben and it's not going to end well with you. Stop defaming him cause he's done nothing wrong. Take good care of your life and bye. Even if he's evil, I can take very good care of myself."

She stood up, took her things and left leaving him dejected, helpless and heartbroken.

"Teemah that was harsh. After all the confession, he clearly cares about you. Give him another chance." Royhana pulled out her lips childishly sending her a puppy look.

"No way. Do you really know what I went through with my father for that. I can't forget all the pain and just move on like that."

"But then what if he tells Raheem. What are you going to do?"

"I don't know how much of information he has, but he clearly knows something. Even if he tells Raheem I'm wayward and I dress somehow, he doesn't have proof. And I know my way around my brother. I know how to manipulate him. It's not that much of a big deal and I'm sure he won't do that."

"Hmmmm okay so now that it's confirmed that your boo is out of it. I know you're happy about it."

"Roy he's not my boo okay. And to make the matter worse, he said I'm like his younger sister. Can you imagine?" She said distastefully.

"And you want to be his lover don't you?" Roy teased.

Fateemah blushed. "Are you crazy. That was then now I hate him so much." She tried so hard to keep a straight face.

"Alright keep deceiving yourself. I know you still like him but you're just pretending."

"Shut up. Whatever and oh has Sammy returned his car"

"Oh! That yeah she has. He'll call you soon I'm sure but Sammy did toyed with him. You need to hear how hard she's laughing on the phone a while ago. She tortured him."

"That's funny. I'm sure he'll be home by now unless Sammy didn't return it on time."

"And I'm very sure Musab is sulking right now."

Fateemah threw a pillow at her. "Fuck you Roy. Cut me some slacks and cut the crap." Fateemah glared while Royhana laughed.

Fateemah sighed heavily as she laid on her bed thinking about Musab words. She sighed again and brushed it off. I might give him another chance after the mission.
