Some people find true love easy, some people battle endlessly to find it, some give up, and some never do at all.
Being Black and Nigerian in an Arab country wasn't so bad for Amal. But when one of the richest bachelor there sets his eyes on her...
"He's in a closed door meeting with his uncle... his phone is probably off or on silent... be back soon xx"
I'll give you all a piece of my mind when you come back
I decided to use the opportunity to work on my final project... wow... final already... I paused a little... thinking of how my life was such a roller coaster since I got here... now it's coming to an end and I don't even know what my future holds... I feel the lump rising in my throat, I don't know what will happen when I write my final exams in two months and I have to leave... Will khalid stop me? Will he follow me?
I try to push all the thoughts... this is not the time or place. ———
"Wake up sleepy head!" I hear jasmine waking me from my deep slumber...
"What! What time is it?" I ask trying to focus my sleepy eyes...
"It's asr and we need to get ready! We have a dinner to get to!" She semi yelled as she dropped some luxury shopping bags on the bed.
"What dinner?" I asked confused...
"Well... it's our last night in London... we should at least go out and eat right?" She stated... cause that wasn't a question...
After what felt like two hours of touring me... make up... hair... nails... I just kept rolling my eyes and complaining... but a part of me wanted to impress khalid, so I played along

"Perfect!" She squealed and I couldn't help but agree.
We took our purse and went down to meet the boys..
They were all dressed so crispy in their suits... must be a serious dinner.
Khalid's eyes were glued to me.. he kept on looking me head to toe and that made me nervous..
"You look.... perfect" he said so close to me and I couldn't help but melt.
A limo was waiting outside and we got in.... I had no clue where we were going.. I didn't care... I was with people I love and care about... that's all that matters.
After what felt like a few minutes the car stopped. We stepped out but instead of a restaurant... it was... the airport?
"What's going on?" I asked confused...
"We have a dinner to get to..." Khalid shrugged as he lead me to the private jet... I was too stunned to talk and jasmine just smiled sweetly... Jason batting his eyelashes so innocently.
After 1hour 15 minutes of asking unanswered questions... the pilot announced our landing... but wouldn't mention the location... looks like he's in on it too...
"I'm gonna need you to wear this my love." Khalid raised a little black cloth and I looked at him puzzled...
"Do you trust me?" He asked looking me dead in the eyes and I couldn't help but say yes... because I do with all my heart. He covered my eyes gently with the cloth and held my hand to guide me...
At this moment I don't know what to think... all I know is we got in a car and it was quite... maybe they weren't in the car?
We stopped and he tried to lead me out... when I stumbled once.. he just picked me up... which made me squeal and he chuckled.
"What are you up to you naughty man" I mocked and he just chuckled
"Patience isn't one of your virtues is it my love."
"I don't like suspense.. you know that!"
He just laughed and dropped me.. it took me a few seconds before I gained my balance again.
"You ready?" He asked and I nodded a little...
Opening my eyes so gently it took me a second to realize where we were.
The Palace of Versailles..... PARIS

I only know that because I recently studied it as part of my project... I remembered telling him how beautiful it must be...he remembered
"You remembered...." I said smiling to myself... he stood quietly behind me... letting me enjoy the beautiful scene... I turned to him and he was smiling....
"I remember everything about you because you are all that I think of.. all that I breathe... I can't seem to function when we fight... I can't seem to do anything right when you're not with me... I can't even fathom the thought of not having you forever... it will kill me baby... i... I know that it's against our deen to go on one knee... but I have to ask..."
He reached out for something small in his pocket and I was so lost in his words and his eyes I didn't realize what he meant.
"Will you make me the happiest man on earth... be my life partner... my best friend... my companion... my wife...?" Then I looked down at our hands...

My world stopped at that moment. My whole world stopped!
