20 Chapter 19

Wazir Ali's POV:

After finishing my breakfast, I watched her enjoying the meal. Her face was like an open book as it shows every emotion very briefly. Maybe it's me who could read her like that or..... I didn't want to think about anyone else knowing her or claiming her or even talking to her except me. I know those feelings that I’m feeling are not good for both of our sake but I’m helpless. She made me feel crazy things or doing or thinking extremes. Even Maria couldn't make me fall in love like this; or I didn't feel anything this extreme before with her but Anaa is different. She was not as beautiful as Maria was but she was all natural and innocent. There was some kind of force in her that hypnotizes me and makes me grounded when I was around her. Her simplicity was essentially provocative, making my knees weak, setting my body on fire and my hands itching by my sides to just feel her soft delicate body.

I didn't know that I zoned out until she called my name loud and clear enough to bring me back.

"Yes, doll?" I asked her and she blushed on the endearment.

"I....uhhh....wanted to ask you something." She hesitantly told me and I chuckled.

"I'm listening. Ask away!" I permitted her and she took a deep breath.

"Yesterday... When I..uhh..came in, you were not comfortable in your sleep. I...uhh..mean that you were muttering and saying...tha...that you want it to end and when I... " she breathed heavily. "When I touched you to wake you up, you...ummm...you held my hand and said to me that you wanted me to stay beside you. Did you remember anything?" She asked worriedly. And I tried to remember that dream but something odd happened. I didn't remember that awful dream very much. Neither did I remember when the last time I slept peacefully like that all night and woke up energetic and fresh in the morning.

"I didn't remember much as what you're telling me about last night but I can tell you that it was just a horrible dream that comes so often in which I just feel hollow, broken, vulnerable and lost in the dark." I told her distractedly.

"Ohhhh...I'm sorry I didn't want to upset you." Her angelic voice and soft tone make me smile unconsciously.

"I'm not upset but..." A naughty thought crossed my mind, and a slight smirk appeared on my lips. "But if you want to help me you have to promise me something."

"Yes?" Her face lights up at the idea of helping me and I can't help but fall more for her.

"You have to cuddle me the whole night." And she instantly blushed profusely, making me laugh out loud.

"You look so cute when you blush." I pinched her nose, turning it the shade of red matching with her red cheeks and ears.

"Ali...." She breathed out shakily.

"Yes darling?" I asked innocently.

"Nothing." She stood up from the couch and took the breakfast tray with her. I looked up at her face but she was not looking at me, still blushing.

"You didn't make your promise yet." I called her from behind when she opened the bedroom door for exit. She looked back at me, smiling and then she was gone.
