NOHA'S
Where is she?
I am about to look down and glance at my wristwatch when I heard the sound of heels so, I turned and there she is.
The woman who got me enchanted.
And just looking at her walking towards me made me smile but then, I hid it and put on a straight face. I don't want to creep her out.
Anyway, she looks stunningly beautiful, and not to mention she is wearing a black gown that matches her flawless white skin. She looks like a real Princess in my eyes. I think I've finally found the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life.
God, she's beautiful.
When she finally reached the table, she stood in front of me and she is staring at me like she is alluring me.
Goodness me, I want her.
I want her tonight.
I cleared my throat which makes her blink and she smiled at me.
Damn that smile...is making my heart flattered.
I cleared my throat again and I stood straight in front of her then, I approached her since she is standing one meter away from me. I stopped walking and slightly bent my back to meet her height because she is somehow smaller than me even though she is wearing stilettos, and I laid my hand between her and me.
“I'm pleased to see you, Ms. Kristine Jang. I'm Noha Mohammed Rashid Al. But you can call me Noha. It's nice to finally meet you. So, shall we?" I spoke formally.
She looks down at my hand and then, he looks at me again, and damn...her eyes are attractive.
I can see too that she is hesitant at first but, she gave her hand away and our hands connected.
KRISTINE'S
“I'm pleased to see you, Ms. Kristine Jang. I'm Noha Mohammed Rashid Al. But you can call me Noha. It's nice to finally meet you. So, shall we?" His voice was deep and very husky like he is proving himself to me that he is a man.
I looked down at his hand then, I looked at him in the eyes.
Hell, I am nervous. I hope he doesn't notice that I'm nervous. I took a deep breath first and then, I put my hand to his. His hand is very warm like he is inviting me to hold his hand more. He, then, guided me towards the chair that he even pulled it a little to make me sit like a true gentleman. I so sat comfortably although my dress is quite big and he took his seat too, facing me.
I felt conscious all of a sudden if I look good or what because I can feel his gaze on me. I so glanced up at him and I'm right, he is staring at me like there is no tomorrow.
“You look gorgeous."
I heard him say and I smiled at him awkwardly.
“You don't look bad yourself, too, Prince Noha,” I respectfully responded.
He is still a Prince though even he is trying to be close to me.
Then, I saw him smile and girllll...he has a very charming smile.
“You should smile more often. You look more handsome,” I told him without hesitation when I just realized what I said. I gasped in surprise. “Oh, my bad. Sorry, Prince Noha, for being impolite."
Stupid, girl. Stupid.
What are you two, close immediately that's why you're informally talking to him? Get a grip, girl! I shouted to myself.
He grinned. “No, it's alright. I like how you became comfortable immediately around me."
I grinned shyly as well.
“Let's eat, shall we?” he invited.
Then, he snapped his finger and two servers went to our table to put a plate in front of us with food on it. Wow. Just looking at the food makes me drool. It looks very delicious.
“Please, eat and I hope you like it,” he told with his charming smile, again.
I smiled at him, too, that he returned the favor and because I haven't eaten yet since I woke up, I began putting food in my mouth. I am trying my best to eat gracefully because honestly when my Manager and Bona pulled me to get dressed I haven't got a chance to eat so now, I'm really hungry.
I must say that the food is very delicious.
I stole a glance at him and I saw him eating with his serious face again.
Is he okay? I wonder what is he thinking right now. Doesn't he like the food on his plate? If he doesn't like it, he can give it to me 'cause I'm still starving.
Well, I am a human being, and getting hungry is normal.
Anyway, I went back to eating when I heard him clear his throat which makes me look up at him. I waited for him to speak and then, his eyes turned to me. We stared at each other.
“I hope you're enjoying your food, Ms. Jang. I will not go around the bush anymore. I invited you here to tell you that...I want you to be my wife."
I gulped the food I am chewing and my eyes got bigger looking at him.
What did he say? Is he serious? Is he joking?
“Your wife?" I got confused.
“Yes. Be my wife."
He repeated that I presumed without a question mark at the end of it.
Wow. He's unbelievable.
He is not asking for my permission anymore because the way he said it, it was like a demand. I got nothing to say and just wow. I can't believe this guy. He really did not go around the bush anymore and he said what he wanted to say.
I smiled but then, I clenched my jaw in annoyance. “But we just met, aren't we? And you want me to become your wife, Prince Noha?" I frankly asked him.
The question was written all over my face and if he didn't get it then, I'm out of here because this guy seriously is doing what he just wants and did not even think. He may be the Prince of Dubai but, I'm not going to give myself to him that easily.
Hell, no.
“I'll give you everything that you want. Just marry me and be my sixth wife,” he stated huskily like I am some kind of a bargain woman.
“Sixth wife?!"
I couldn't help myself anymore and I shouted in shock. I am more than shocked, actually.
No way in the hell I'm gonna be a mistress. I never dream to be a mistress or having an affair with someone. Never in my wildest dream.
I, then, composed myself and wiped my mouth with a napkin before I opened my lips to talk to him seriously.
This guy should know that not everything he wants, he could get it easily.
“Prince Noha, I am very pleased that you invited me here to have dinner with you tonight. It was such an honor but I think, I should go home now because everything seems to be inappropriate. If you excuse me," I respectfully announced since he is getting the best of me.
I stood up to my dismay after I said what I truly feel adequate even though I want to say foul words to him. I am just calming myself not to burst but if he provokes me, I'm gonna punch him in the face without a doubt.
“Wait,” he mentioned and my feet halted.
I turned to face him who also stood up in his seat and he put his hands on the pockets of his trouser like he is going to settle a deal. Our eyes met again but this time, I glared at him for being arrogant.
So what if he is a Prince? He's nothing but a manipulative, self-centered, arrogant, bastard, jerk!
He went in front of me but he keeps his distance away from me for about one meter and looks into my eyes directly.
We gazed at each other for a moment.
His eyes...it changed. It became dark unlike a while ago.
My heart started to beat nervously again just staring at him but, I have to keep myself up. I won't let him know that he is getting into me so, I creased my eyebrows to send him daggers.
“Here's the thing. I will let you choose since I am not going to get you nicely," he started to talk in a menace.
“Nicely? Are you being serious right now? Because the way you asked me just a minute ago was not nice. You are actually demanding me to be your wife although, we just met. Honestly, you just not told me to be your wife but to be your SIXTH WIFE. Like, seriously? What do you expect me to do? Just say yes to you even though you are the Prince of this country? No freaking way,” I bravely answered.
I have to fight back or he is going to control everything and I'm not going to let him do that. He doesn't control me.
“I must say you are feisty and hard to deal with,” he spoke in a more menacing tone.
I really am feisty! What does he think of me? A cheap woman? What is he thinking?
I don't like how he spoke. It's like the lion has done pretending and now he is ready to let his claw out. But I am a lion too. A female lion. I am not easy to deal with as many people called me 'The Bolder' because of how bold I am to take a risk.
My mind stopped thinking when I saw him took a step forward going in my direction so, I took a step backward.
“Don't you dare get near me or I'm calling the guards," I warned him.
I am honestly afraid of him now.
“Go and call the guards. Let's see if they will do what you ask them to do,” he said in an authoritative voice.
Oh, right. He's a fvcking spoiled Prince of this country.
He has the upper hand because he is a Prince while me? I got nothing so, I better leave this place and get out of his sight before he eats me alive.
“Let me leave in peace," I mentioned seriously.
“In one condition," he said and his eyes darken more.
I gritted my teeth because of what he said.
“What is it?" I asked.
“You have to choose and I want the answer now,” he commanded.
This guy surely using his title as a Prince to manipulate people.
To hell with him.
To be continued...
