CHAPTER 54: 54. BUDDY GOSSIP

***

Saïda’s POV:

I stirred in my sleep very early the next morning when I felt someone softly caress my face.

I weakly opened my eyes to see an all dressed up and washed Asahd.

“I’m off to work. Wanted to see you first,” I heard him say softly. I was so sleepy, I could hardly keep my

eyes open.

“Mm, okay.”

He smiled a little and kissed my forehead before leaving. I closed my heavy eyes and went back to

sleep.

--

Later that morning, I woke up for real now. I stirred in my bed and thoughts of the previous night

flooded my mind real fast. How could I forget? I’d literally dreamed about it!

′Oh Asahd.′

Goosebumps covered my skin and I bit my lip as I thought of him...of how hot he’d made me feel. How

crazy he’d driven me. He’d given me my first orgasm without having to undress me.

′Oh, gawd.′

I felt my cheeks burn.

′And he was sweet enough to come see me this morning before leaving for work. I feel like I’m falling

more and more for him?′

I wrapped my arms around myself and closed my eyes, trying to fix my confused thoughts. Oh Asahd

had gotten me in a terrible, confused state. Things had changed so much between us in such little time.

The previous night was unforgettable. The way my body reacted. The way it wanted more, the sound of

his low moans while he rubbed himself against me, his lips brushing and murmuring against mine.

′I will never get over this.′

I swallowed harder and rubbed my goosebumps covered arms. He’d made me feel so damn good.

We’d crossed a lot of boundaries now and there was absolutely nothing that I could do about it. I didn’t

even want to do anything about it...

′I can’t believe I’ve done all this and feel no regret.′

I tried to sit up and then realised I had sticky thighs, reminding me of how wet I was for him last night.

′How the hell am I going to go through this day without thinking about him and last night? I started

daydreaming about him after we kissed several times. But after what happened yesterday, things are

gonna get worse.′

I slowly got out of my bed and removed my sheets. I had to wash them, as well as my shorts. That day

was just beginning, yet I already wanted it to end.

′Why? Because I want to see Asahd?′

Asahd’s POV:

“Bro, are you okay?” Derrick mused and I snapped out of my thoughts. I’d exchanged places with

Jason for a day and so I was back, serving in the main room.

“Huh? What?” I asked lost.

I was sitting at the counter and waiting for a customer’s call or for more customer’s to enter the

restaurant.

“You are daydreaming?” Alex who was with the both of us, added with a chuckle.

“I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about,” I chuckled. Of course I’d been daydreaming about

Saïda. I just couldn’t wait for the day to be over so I would see her again.

“Dude, are you blushing?!” Derrick exclaimed, staring at my face in amusement. I froze and looked in a

glass close by. My cheeks were becoming pink indeed.

′Oh my, the embarrassment.′

They laughed at me and I shook my head in amusement.

“Thinking about Ally?” Alex muttered in a low voice.

“Well, no.”

“Boy, if you aren’t thinking about a girl, then what’s got you so preoccupied?” Derrick asked.

“Wait,” Alex started. “Maybe he’s not thinking of Allison, but he is still thinking about a girl. A different

girl.”

They stared at me with curious eyes and my lips twisted in amusement. Guess it was the confirmation

they needed because they both gasped with wide eyes and grabbed seats close to mine.

“You’re seeing anybody else, dude?” Derrick literally whispered and I laughed.

“Don’t laugh, Asahd. You need to spill that tea,” Alex mused.

“Well,” I laughed a little. “I’m not seeing anybody else, officially. But honestly, I do hope to make it

official in a close future. She drives me crazy. I can’t even explain.”

“Woooah!” they cooed.

“Ally knows?” Alex asked

“Of course not, dummy,” I laughed.

“I thought you were deep for Ally.”

“I thought that too. But honestly, I think I only see her as a very good friend and I don’t want to break up

with her and hurt her feelings.

But the fact is, I’ve known this other girl for a longer while now and I developed deep stuff for her. It’s

literally consuming my mind.”

“Man. This is serious,” Derrick mused. “We know her?”

“Nope,” I lied.

“Wow. She likes you too?”

“She definitely does,” the thought made me smile.

“Then explain things to Allison and get with the other girl.”

“Problem is, the other is engaged in a way. And she still loves her fiancé.”

“Woah. This is more complicated than I thought. For how long have they been together?”

“Almost all her life,” I mused, though there was a little sting in my chest.

“Hmmm, Asahd. Maybe you should forget the chick. If she was dating some other random guy, it would

be easier. She’s engaged and in love,” Alex mused a little.

“Right. What if she’s just using you for a little fun, you know. Play with your feelings and still marry her

man?” Derrick asked.

“She can use me for as long as she wants,” I muttered, staring at the counter in front of me. “And if she

still gets married, and I’m unfortunately still crazy for her, I’m not letting her go. I can be her secret lover

or something,” I made a joke of it and chuckled.

“Asahd, you’re impossible,” they laughed.

“You’re willing to be her side man?”

“Yup. As long as she desires me more, I’m good,” I replied casually.

“And what if she doesn’t want to have anything to do with you after her marriage?”

“Well, if I don’t have her for myself by then because she still insists on staying with her man, I’ll make

sure she’s still addicted to me as she she ties the knot with the other moron. So even after her

wedding, she will still want to see me.”

“Asahd!” they exclaimed in surprise, laughing. “Are you serious??”

I laughed.

“You don’t know me,” I laughed. I meant every single word.

“So, you’ll be a home wrecker?” Alex joked.

“I don’t give a fuck. When I want something, I do everything to get it,” I replied in a manner of fact,

manner.

“Hmmm. Dude you are a savage!” they laughed.

“Are you sure, you aren’t in love with this chick?” Derrick asked and I looked at him.

“I don’t know,” I laughed nervously. “I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m still testing my limits, concerning

her. I want to see how far I can go to have her.”

“Dude, you’re already planning to destroy her marriage immediately it is done.”

“Yeah, but I haven’t done that yet because it’s not happened yet. I wanna test my limits now. See how

far I can go. Then I’ll decide if I’m in love or not,” I ended with an amused smile on.

“And if you are?”

“That’ll make things worse,” I mused.

“For whom?”

“Her fiancé. Duh,” I laughed. “I can already see the ′EX′ in front of his present title. ‘Ex fiancé’ sounds

pretty good,” I laughed harder.

“Asahd, you’re a G. He doesn’t care at all!” Derrick laughed and Alex joined him.

“Dude, is the guy rich?”

“Very. His family is actually a wealthy and influential one.”

“What?? You are bold!”

“For real! My waiter ass would never dare to steal an influential and rich person’s lady or daughter. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Aren’t you scared??”

′I’m a ma-ahfacking Prince.′

“Nope,” I laughed. “Call me Asahd but I also go by Mr. steal your chill as well as Mr. steal your girl. Self

proclaimed.”

“Bro, don’t you feel bad for the guy?” Alex laughed.

“Why should I? We ain’t friends.”

I wasn’t lying, was I? Noure wasn’t my friend.

They were literally dying of laughter and surprise, amusing me.

“Asahd, you are hilarious,” Asked coughed and I laughed.

“Dude, you’ve convinced me. I’m done,” Derrick laughed. “I feel so bad for that fiancé right now. You’ve

already kissed the girl?”

“Every single time I see and am alone with her. And I can assure you, she likes it.”

“Okay,” they laughed.

“And as for Ally in all this?”

“I’ll pick the perfect moment and tell her.”

“Alright. I honestly hope to see that particular chick you speak of, one day.”

′Oh you’ve seen her more than once. But by then, I didn’t know she was going to drive me this crazy.′
