"Rayyana I'm sure that the announcer made a mistake." Rumaisa said to me again as I just sat there. I knew this wasn't real, I know Asad want's nothing to do with me but this hurt too much. He had a girlfriend? Suddenly, anger bubbled through me. 

How fucking dare he?! Who the hell did he think he was threatening me and then acting so chill? I heard the front door open and a very tired Asad walked through the door. 

The living room was right in front of the front door so Asad should have seen me and Rumaisa sitting at the couch glaring at him, but instead he ignored me without a word and headed to the bedroom. 

Even though Asad slept on the couch his stuff we had stuffed into the drawers, until we move out and go to our real home of course. I blushed angrily embarrassed at the fact that Asad was doing this in front of a guest.  

I was going to say something but before I could Rumaisa jumped in front of him "Oh hello." She snapped her finger's in his face. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow before looking at me. "I didn't know you had a guest over." 

Rumaisa scoffed "Course you didn't, I mean why even take care of Rayyana when we have beautiful Vanessa waiting for us." Asad's head snapped to the T.V and his face lit up with recognition. 

"So you were watching the game?" Rumaisa nodded "Yea, explain yourself." Asad sighed and ran a hand through his fingers. "Listen, I'm guessing Rayyana has told you everything so I'm going to come clean with it." 

My eyes widened and before I could protest Asad opened his big fat stupid mouth "Yes, I still have the photo's no your never going to get them and yes this will always be a business deal." He looked right at me unwavering his eyes "Never will I ever fall for someone like her." 

My heart broke as Asad slammed our room door. Tears were threatening to fall, what did I even do? "What the hell does he mean he still has the photos?" She stared at me angry tapping her foot. 

I didn't say anything and instead looked to the ground repeating over and over in my head that I, Rayyana Arshad was not going to cry over a guy. 

"Look at me Rayyana Arshad, you do NOT get to cry. If anyone is going to crying tonight that's him." She nodded at the door Asad went through. I shook my head "You don't get it." I couldn't say anything else, I couldn't explain the pain I was going through to Rumaisa because she can never feel what I feel. 

Rumaisa gave me a sorrowful expression before her eyes lit up. I knew her well enough to knew that whatever she was going to say wasn't going to be good. 

"I got it!" She sat down in front of me holding my hand, she was practically glowing with excitement. "You want to show Asad what he's missing?" She asked me, I gave her a raised eyebrow and she tutted at me. 

"Yes or no?" I thought about it and finally after a million years I nodded my head. Rumaisa smirked at me as she said "Then Meri Jaan, we are going to need to do that right away huh?" I was scared of Rumaisa, ever since I had met her she had this thing in her personality that made me want to run away from her. 

This isn't going to be good. 

It wasn't good. 

I uncomfortably fixed my dress that covered me up head to toe thinking what the hell am I doing? 

Yes, Rumaisa had convinced me to get my revenge on Asad and no this wasn't good. She had chosen a boring guy, he hadn't said a word to me besides hello and it also wasn't helping that he was on his phone the whole time. 

"So uh... how are you?" The guy looked up at me and shook his head looking back down at his phone, I sighed and leaned back into my chair. I looked around the restaurant and almost chocked when I saw Rumaisa giving me a thumbs up from across the room. 

She had on a big floppy hat that wasn't appropriate for this kind of restaurant, she indicated a phone so I picked up my phone up and read her messages. 

Rumi- Okay, so in about 5 minutes Asad will walk in here and you need to laugh really loudly.

Me- What? I can't do that, the guy you chose won't leave his damn phone! 

Rumi- Yea he has a gf so he's not that interested in you, but he's an amazing actor. 

I hesitated, looking at the guy again.

Me- you sure this will work? 

Before Rumaisa could type something, we heard the restaurant door open. 

Rumi- Yea, it will.

I quickly put my phone away and looked up at the guy who was now smiling at me and looking at me all lovey dovey.  

"Are you done ordering my love?" Rumaisa wasn't kidding when she said he was an amazing actor, I couldn't recognize him as the guy who was sitting a few seconds ago not saying anything to me. 

I smiled back at him "Yes, I have. I can't believe you brought me to my favorite restaurant!" The guy smirked at me and he called a waiter loudly. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Asad look around the restaurant ignoring me, then his head snapped back to me. 

"Quick, say something funny." I mumbled to the guy, he shrugged and mouthed words not saying anything and then I started laughing super hard. 

I felt a hand on my hand and looked at the guy who was now holding my hand smirking at me, I flinched and tried to pull my hand but the guy held it tighter. 

"What's your name again?" I quickly asked him when I saw Asad storming over to our table. The guy frowned at me "James." 

"RAYYANA." Me and James looked up at a very fuming Asad, "Hello Asad." I said hiding my smirk. 

"What the actual hell are you doing with this guy?" He glared at James who sat there unbothered. "Nothing, James just brought me to my favorite restaurant." James and I smiled at each other not saying anything. 

Is it working?  I looked up at Asad to see he had no expression on his face now. I sighed defeated of course he doesn't care. 

James was about to say something when all of a sudden he was flinged onto the ground, and being repeatedly punched. 

"ASAD!" I yelled at him trying to push him off, but Asad was more strong. A few waiter's came from wherever they were and pulled Asad off of James with a lot of struggle. 

Then, the manager came whipping her ponytail around "What is going on?" She whisper yelled looking nervously around at all the recording cameras. 

"This bastard was flirting with my wife." Asad angrily spat, The manager smiled at everyone "Nothing to see here folks! Please enjoy your food." She pulled Asad, me, and James to the side. 

"Whatever you need to do, do it here." She angrily said bringing us into some back room away from everyone else. I gulped as I looked at James's state. He didn't look handsome anymore. 

"I'm afraid I will have to ban you all from eating here, please leave." The manager said after a while of us all just standing there not saying anything. 

Me, James, and Asad left the restaurant now standing outside, I didn't know where Rumaisa was and I didn't have enough time to pull my phone out and message her. 

Asad turned to me grabbing my arm and throwing me into his car. He got in the driver's seat and started madly driving, almost hitting cars. 

I couldn't say anything, what could I say? This was all my fault. We arrived at the hotel and that was when Asad decided to be a gentleman and open my car door for me, It was almost perfect if he hadn't grabbed my arm again and dragged me all the way to our hotel room. 

He slammed the door and threw me onto the couch glaring at me. I refused to meet his eyes, and instead stared at my lap. 

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my chin gently lifting my head up, I met a very angry Asad's eyes and I gulped wondering what was going to happen. To my horror he smirked at me and started slowly rubbing my chin. 

He inched closer towards me until there was almost no distance between us "What are you trying to do Rayyana?" He whispered, his minty breath fanned my face. "What are you trying to prove? That I need you? That I have feelings for you?" 

He grinned at me, it reminded of the cat in Alice And The Wonderland "It's not going to work Jaan." The way he said Jaan was taunting. Then to my horror he leaned in and pecked my lips, it happened so fast I didn't even realize it happened. 

"Dont try me Chashmish, you don't know the thing's I could do to you." Then he pulled away staring at my lips once more before leaving the hotel room. 

Urdu Translation-

Meri Jaan-My love

Jaan-Love 

Chashmish- A person who wear's glasses.
