"Hussein, like every other girl, I too dreamt of a prince charming. I too dreamt of leading a happy life filled with love. But you shattered everything. And, now, suddenly you want me to give you a chance. And it's really difficult for me to trust you again, Hussein." I said. I saw his shoulders slump down with defeat.

"But, I will give you a chance. I will give us a chance, Hussein. I want to try once and see where it goes." I said, smiling warmly at him. His eyes twinkled with happiness.

"But, I won't be able to jump directly into this wife and husband relationship. I want us to take it slow. Let's start from the beginning. First, let's know each other. Then we can take it to next level. Are you getting what I'm saying?" I asked him. He just nodded his head.

"So, friends?" I asked him. He nodded.

"So, it means that you will give me a chance?" He asked me.

"Yes." I said. He just blinked his eyes as if he couldn't believe what I said.

Then he suddenly moved forward and grabbed me by my waist and planted his lips on me making my eyes go wide in surprise. He squeezed me tightly. I gasped and he took this opportunity to push his tongue into my mouth. I closed shut my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his lips on mine.

He deepened the kiss. It was as if it was his way of telling me how he feels. I couldn't help but reciprocate my feelings. He pulled me even closer if that was possible, placing his hands on my butt and squeezing them gently.

It was enough for me to realise what we are doing. I pulled away from him only for him to keep his forehead on mine. We both were panting heavily.

"So much for taking it slow." I said making him chuckle.

"Sorry. I couldn't control." He apologized.

"You better learn to control yourself mister. And lemme remind you friends don't kiss like that." I said.

He just gave me a sheepish smile. I couldn't help but smile at his behaviour.

"Okay. Be ready at 8. I'm gonna take you out for dinner tonight." He said.

"Are you asking me on a date, Hussein?" I teased him.

"I think friends don't date, right?" He said acting along.

"Okay, then I'm not interested to go with you. I will go with someone who is romantic and loves to spend time with me." I said and was about to leave when Hussein grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him.

"Where do you think you are going? The only person you will go on a date is with me. And listen one thing, heart, you belong to me. You're mine and only mine. Remember that." He growled. And god it was so hot.

"Possessive much?!" I said rolling my eyes at him. He just shrugged.

We were interrupted by Hussein's phone call. He excused himself and went to his office room not before kissing my forehead. I realised that I was smiling like a fool when my cheeks started to hurt.

I was happy. Infact I felt like as if I'm floating on a cloud. I can't believe that it's finally happening. We are finally on good terms. I never thought that Hussein will take the first step that to so early.

And I can't believe that he is taking me on a date. I just hope everything goes well. And I hope that Hussein doesn't break my trust this time. And I hope that everything falls into place.

I finished my work within no time. I went to take a shower. I hoped into the shower and turned the water to hot. I love taking hot showers. It really helps me to relax my tense muscles.
