“So, let me get this straight,” Moe said, sipping his morning black tea in my large kitchen. A hot summer breeze left the slightly ajar window, brushing passed us and disappearing into the humid air around. “Taimur Khalidi is sleeping in your room, in your bed, right now?”

“Shh…Yes.” I whispered, glancing toward the door. I cupped my mug in my small hands and took a long sip, allowing the hot liquid to burn my insides, much like Taimur’s words from last night had, setting my body aflame.

I think I already knew he loved me, I just didn’t realise he was in love with me.

“And how did this happen?”

“Well, Taimur had a fight with Nabeel. He was pretty upset and got drunk. I went to see if he was okay, and he was too wasted to go anywhere alone so I brought him here.”

“And you couldn’t have called one of his cousins or his brother?”

“I did. I called Kassim and Abs, but Kassim’s phone was switched off, as usual, and Abs said to keep Taimur with me since he was trying to calm Nabeel down. I didn’t have a choice.”

“Why didn’t you call me?”

“Well, I know you two don’t generally get along, so I didn’t want to make it awkward for you,” I replied in a loud murmur, raising my eyebrow. “I didn’t want any more drama for the night.”

“Why are you whispering, Lay? You know he can’t hear us in here, right?”

“I know. I’m sorry,” I laughed, still nervous about last night.

“So, he ended up sleeping in your bed?”

“Yeah…”

“So where did you sleep?”

“Eventually, in the bed, too.”

“Eventually?”

“Yeah, I tried to sleep on the sofa, but I was too tired and uncomfortable.”

“Couldn’t you have slept with Zoya? In her bed and left Tai in yours?” he asked, a hint of something unusual in his tone.

Jealousy?

“Well, she was out with Noah again, and her room was locked. I tried to call her too, but she didn’t pick up. I waited for her, but she didn’t come home last night either.”

“So basically, what you’re trying to say is the entire universe conspired to get you to sleep together,” he said, repeating my favourite Paulo Cohelo quote.

“And she still doesn’t see it as a sign that we should be together.” A hoarse voice chimed in from behind us, captivating all my attention.

Taimur stood in the wooden doorway to the same kitchen we had first met months ago, in all his naked chest glory, each defined peck taunting me. Trying not to stare, I tore my gaze away from his glorious body, only for it to rest of his gorgeous face with his messy bed hair. His hazel eyes were glued to me and on his charming his face he wore a mischievous smirk, knowing I was shamelessly objectifying him. I felt my cheeks turn red and my mouth became dry, thinking about last night.

“Don’t you have a shirt?” Moe asked, gawking at Taimur too.

“How are you feeling?” I asked, still inspecting him. He didn’t look hungover.
