The Accidental Wedding novel Chapter 7

Rameen

"Happy Birthday love," I said as I hugged Sheema.

"Thanks, Darling, I am so glad you came. I hope your mom didn't mind you coming here", Sheema teased as she accepted the bouquet and gift from me.

Saad was standing beside her, I gave him a broad grin and shook his hand.

" So what's up lover boy?" I teased him.

He smiled and rolled his eyes at me, then he replied laughing " Nothing my love".

" You don't get to hit on my friend", Sheema said, trying to look annoyed.

"I can't resist, she is too hot", He teased Sheema and earned a punch in his arm.

" So where is your fiance?" Saad asked me.

"I don't know, haven't spoken to him in two weeks", I replied rolling my eyes.

We haven't spoken since that incident in the mall took place. He was mad at me and I was in no mood to reconcile, myself, let him rot him in hell who cares.

" Hey baby" At that very instant someone slid his arm across my waist and whispered in my ear.

I didn't need to look at his face to know who it was, I had recognized him by his voice. I turned my head away from him, to show my annoyance.

"Mia, I am sorry. Will you please forgive me", He said as he turned my face towards him placing his finger below my chin.

Damn how can I stay mad at someone so hot, and who was hell-bent on trying to gain my forgiveness.

"I don't want to talk to you, I am still mad", I acted mad, well who doesn't like a little attention from your fiance.

"Baby I am sorry", He said caressing the back of my palm. I couldn't keep up the act anymore, so I just smiled.

"All well between you too", Saad asked, looking at us with amusement.

"Yeah" we both replied in unison.

"Come then join us on the dance floor", Saad said as he held Sheema's hand into his and led her to the dance floor.

Saad had organized the party at the roof of one of the best hotels in the town. The arrangement and decorations were top notch.

I noticed he had invited many people, but their parents were missing. Guess it was just for the young generation.

The music was loud and many couples were enjoying their time in each other's arms. Imaad smiled at me as he led me to the dance floor.

We started moving with the rhythm of the music, Imaad held me at an appropriate distance. He knew I never liked someone getting into my space.

I was enjoying my time dancing, Sheema and Saad were dancing near us. Sheema was looking overjoyed, Saad was handling her like she was some fragile item and would break with excess force.

I smiled at them, maybe arrange marriage was not a bad thing after all. Looking at them I was sure they couldn't have found anyone better.

"Penny for your thought", Imaad asked me.

"I was just thinking how wonderful Saad and Sheema look together", I said, keeping my voice loud enough so he could hear it above the music.

Imaad just nodded at me in agreement and we continued dancing.

After a while, I felt tingles erupting on my body as if someone was staring at me with an intensifying gaze.

I scanned the people around me but I didn't find anyone looking at me, maybe my imagination was playing tricks on my mind.

I started feeling thirsty after nearly half an hour and excused myself from Imaad.

Imaad's cell phone started buzzing as we left the dance floor and headed to the sitting area. He spoke on the call for a few minutes.

Rania just stomped her feet and left from there. He followed her immediately but not without giving me a death glare.

I chuckled in my heart, satisfactorily and started sipping my drink.

After some time Saad came towards me taking long strides and said: " Mia, what was that?" "What? " I asked pretending as if I didn't understand.

"Why did you do that to Asjad?" He asked through clenched teeth.

He was looking furious, pays him well for plotting against my back whatever it was, with his friend.

"Mia you need to apologize to him and Rania," Saad said.

I couldn't believe what I just heard, was he out of his mind. Me, Rameen Shahab will apologize to his pathetic friend?

"Are you out of your mind?" I roared.

"Mia because of your stunt Rania is really very upset. They have been in a relationship for three years now", Saad's tone was softer this time.

"He should have thought that before he checked me out in front of his girlfriend, and you both exchanged glances with each other and you nodded at him. Tell me what's going on here?" I stopped beating around the bush and confronted him directly.

"It's not what you are thinking", Saad said looking tense.

"Then tell me exactly what was that about?" I insisted.

"Mia please don't ruin this party, please for Sheema", Saad requested.

But I was not in a mood to entertain anyone. I crossed my arms on my chest and shook my head in disagreement.

"Damn Mia, what kind of friend are you? Saad said annoyed.

" A good one, but I want to know what is going on between you and your friend?" I answered.
