You're My Bliss.

Four: Two Can Play At That Game!

I look at my watch again.
It's 2:34am and Muhammed still isn't home.
We've only been married a week and he's already staying out late.

I called earlier and all I heard was loud music and faint voices.
I lie down on the couch.

Loud banging on the door woke me up.
I check the time again, it's 4:10am.
I get up the couch and slowly walk towards the massive windows.

I see Muhammed's car parked out front with the headlights still on. I quickly open the door and see him passed out.

I barely carried him to the foyer when we both fell heavily.
"Fuck!" He curses.

He smelt like alcohol, he was completely drunk and out of it.
"Muhammed?" I call out his name.
"Muhammed?"

He pushes me aside "Shut up!" He slurred.
I sit on the floor next to him, leaning on the wall. I kept crying, nonstop.

And here he was again.
Laura and I were going out when I saw him come in with Dahir.

I froze completely as a smirk curled up on his face.
"Darling" he says sweetly.
I've grown to hate that face, hate that voice and anything related to it, I hate everything about him so much.

I couldn't bring myself to move or walk away.
"Karima?" Laura calls me.

"Let's go in" she says holding my arm but I didn't budge. The last time I saw him he threatened to kill me if I ever told anyone that—

"Wait!" He says standing infront of us "I'm not here to get angry at you or insult you" he says holding my hand "Babe, I just want you back"

Laura slaps his hands away "Obviously she's not interested in talking to you"

I take a step back "What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you that, I've been coming here for years. Dahir and I are friends" he smiles pointing at Dahir's direction but he was already making his way inside the house.

"Then go see Dahir, you and I have nothing else to discuss"
"But I think we do"

I smirk "Do you think I'd let you terrorize me? I think 2years was enough suffering sweetheart"

"But I know you still love me"
I laugh sarcastically "Stop being so delusional. If you come near me one more time I swear to God everyone will know"

He grabs my hand tightly "You better not dare"
"Don't tempt me, I've taken enough of your crap"
"What's going on here?" Mutassim says walking over with Bashir behind him.
Muhammed smiles "Just catching up"

He turns to me "Laura, you two should go in"
I've never seen Mutassim look that serious, he looked so intimidating.

And that was it.
I walked away.
No one brought it up or asked questions.

"He's so sexy" Laura says talking about her boyfriend Mahfouz.
I roll my eyes "Can you please stop being thirsty for once?"
"No" she giggles as she looks at herself in my full length mirror.

I laugh "Where is he taking you anyway?" I ask curiously.
"I don't know but it's probably somewhere expensive"

"He told you that?"
"No but it should be. Come on it's our 3years anniversary I think I deserve to dine like a Queen"
