Hey guys,

I know it's been a long time since I've updated. I decided to put one story on hold, mainly because I can hardly upload one chapter a week, let alone 2. I will keep updating this one every week but my story 'Falling in love with the Muslim girl' is going on hold until after Christmas break because then I'll be done with my internship and I will have more time to update. (I know that a lot of you also read that story, that's why I'm bringing it up :))

I will keep this story going in Shaa Allah!

So enjoy this new chapter lovelies!

Xxx

Aliah's POV

This was the 5th time he ordered me to get coffee for him. Wallahi, at the end of the day he will be able to jump through the ceiling.

He was so grumpy these days. Even if he ordered me to kiss his feet, I would do it and still keep working for him. That's how bad I need this job. I still haven't figured out what was wrong with him last week. We haven't spoke properly since he gave me a driver who would pick and drop me off back home after work. I need to know what's wrong with him, he's being cold and moody. And the worst thing of all was that I knew he was unhappy and hurt. Why wouldn't he just talk to me? I need to know what's wrong with him, as soon as I know that, maybe he'll change his attitude and maybe my working days wouldn't be this hard anymore.

Hariss's POV

That girl is stressing me out, why wouldn't she just quit? I've asked her like 5 times today to bring me coffee and she still hasn't snapped. Round 6, I thought.

I picked up my desk phone and called Aliah.

"Aliah, bring me another coffee" and with that I hung up.

A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."!I shouted and she opened the door.

She walked closer towards my desk and placed the coffee pretty hard on the desk which made the coffee spill a bit.

"Can't you watch out?" I said in my angry voice.

I didn't expect her to say somethimg back, was I wrong.

"That's it, I'm done!"

Wait, is she going to quit? Finally, I thought.

"What the hell is wrong with you? It's like you're on your period or something.." She said.

"Excuse me?" I asked surprised.

"Just grow up, I'm not quitting, so stop trying to make me!"?She snapped and after that she turned away.

"Stop!" I shouted.

I stood up and walked closer to her, too close apparently because she took a step back.

"Why do you look and act so much like her?" I said grabbing her cheek with my right hand.

"Don't touch me!" she said pushing my hand away, "and what do you mean by 'her'?" She asked.

I snapped out of the situation and fake coughed.

"Euhm, get back to work miss Samuni" I said. She gave me a confused look but walked out of my office anyway.

When she left my office I sat back in my chair and grabbed my head with my hands. What's wrong with me? She's too smart, she will never quit. I poured the coffee out of the window like I did with the previous 5 and got back to work. That's the only remedy to get distracted from everything that was happening.

..

It was almost 11 pm and I thought it was time to go home. I grabbed my jacket and laptop bag and turned all the lights off. I closed my office door and walked to the elevator.

"Aah, finally you're going home? I almost thought you were going to sleep in there." Aliah said. She made me jump as I didn't expected her to still be at work.

"Wait.. what are.. Didn't my driver show up today? Oh I swear to God he's fi.." I mumbeld but Aliah interrupted me.

"No, I called him earlier to not pick me up today." She said.

Okay, what is she trying to do?

"I think we need to talk" Aliah said.

"I think we don't, c'mon I'll drop you off." I said and continued walking to the elevator.

"Noopp", she said popping the 'p' and sat back down in her chair.

"Look, it's 11pm and I'm tired so don't be stubborn at this time of the day." I said annoyed.

"NO!" She practically shouted.

"Shut up! It's 11p!" I whispered.

"I DON'T FREAKING CARE, I CAN SHOUT AT ANY TIME!" she shouted whilst I was still holding the elevator open waiting for her to get in.

I walked towards her and asked what her problem was.

"You are my problem! I'm not going home until you tell me why you want me to quit so bad and who that girl is I look and act like!" She was still shouting but on a lower volume then before.

I looked down and tried to come up with something but I couldn't.. So I gave in.

"Fine, come to my place.. I'll tell you everything there." I said.

Aliah nodded and grabbed al her stuff and walked in the elevator behind me.

I pressed 0 and the elevator moved down. It was awkwardly quiet the whole drive home to my place.

As we arrived, I opened the front door and we both got in. I closed the door with a key from the inside, which I do every time and dropped everything on the counter.

"Euhm... Why are you closing the door? You're not going to kill me, are you?" She asked afraid.

I smiled, "Of course not, it's something I do everytime I come home from work." I said.

"Soo, do you want something to eat?" I asked whilst opening the fridge. "And never mind, I have nothing." I said.

"I'm fine." she said sitting down on the sofa.

"Okay, I'm going to change in something comfortable.. Make yourself at home." I said and left to my room.

I changed my suit into something comfy and got back into the living-room. But, Aliah wasn't there.. Where is she? I walked to the kitchen and found her cooking.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked.

"Ice skating" She said. "I'm cooking duh."

"Yeah, I can see that smart ass, but why? You're the guest.. You shouldn't be cooking." I said.

"I'm just making some couscous from the package I found in your cupboard, it's not the real stuff but it will do for now." She said.

I smiled and looked at her while she was cooking.

"What?" she asked. Probably because I was practically staring at her.

"Euhm, nothing. It looks good, I'll grab us some plates." I said and placed the plates on the table.

We both grabbed our plate and walked to the living room. She sat down, but I could see she was uncomfortable in her clothes.

"Do you wanna wear something more comfortable?" I asked.

"No, I'm fine." she said but I got up anyway and brought her some sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt.

"You can change in my room." I said and she got up, took the clothes from me and walked towards my room.

Aliah's POV

To be honest, this jeans was killing me. It was itchy and to tight on my waist. So I was relieved when Harris brought me some comfy clothes.

I walked in his room and looked around before changing, it's a bad habbit I know.. But I need to inspect my surroundings first. A photo on his bedside table caught my eye. She is beautiful, is that the girl he was talking about? I put the photo back and changed into the clothes that Harris gave me.

Harris is pretty neat, he doesn't have everything just laying around. His room was tidy, but he probably had people for that.

The clothes were way too big for me but anything was better than those itchy jeans. I walked out of his room back to the living-room.

Harris looked at me and smiled, "it fits perfectly" he said. I knew he was joking.

I sat back on the sofa and looked at Harris who was grabbing the TV remote. If he thinks we're going to watch TV, then he's definitely wrong.

He was about to turn on the TV but I grabbed the remote from out of his hands.

"No TV, you're going to tell me everything from the start until now." I said taking my first bite.

Harris looked at me, took a deep breath and then started talking.
