Purple Romance

Chapter 18: I will protect the woman I love 2

Ad-Din walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed taking his phone. He had just finished taking his bath. He dialled Maria's number and she picked up on the first ring.

''Were you expecting my call?'' Ad-Din asked cockily.

''No. I was setting my alarm when the call came in''. Maria sat on the bed in her towel. She had also just finished taking her bath.

''I missed you already. Say, you are so small, I wished you were a little smaller than that so that I could put you in my pocket and go with you wherever I want''. Ad-Din teased her and Maria blushed. She was lucky he wasn't closer to her.

''Were you always such a sweet talker? Tsk! I seriously doubt that this is your first relationship. Tell me the truth. You are a player, right? How many girls have you dated before me?'' Maria said over the phone and Ad-Din chuckled.

''I am telling you the truth. You are the first woman I am in a relationship with and the last woman because I intend to go forever with you''.

''You just know how to say the right things to make my head swell. Tomorrow is school you should go to bed early''.

''Oh. You too. Make sure you get enough sleep and dream about me. I love you, Maria''.

''I love you too, Ad-Din"

"Make sure you dream about me because I will be dreaming about you for sure" Ad-Din said.

"Okay, I will make sure I dream about you, bye". Maria hung up and changed into her pyjamas before going to bed.

NEXT DAY.

JOHN MILLS HIGH SCHOOL.

Maria arrived at school early to have enough time to write her lesson notes and get ready for class. She got to the staff room and saw a set of breakfast on her table. She was the first person to arrive so she was surprised but after seeing a piece of note attached to it she sighed and removed it. It was from Ad-Din.

''Have breakfast and be energised throughout the day''.

Maria smiled and stuffed the paper into her bag and sat down quickly when she heard voices and footsteps drawing closer.

Soon, Miss Diana and Miss Mani entered the staff room and saw the set of breakfast on Maria's table.

" Miss Lee, is that Brinhs Breakfast set? Whoa, you're so lucky. I didn't get some even after getting there an hour earlier today" Miss Diana said.

"Maria must have gone there really early, right?" Miss Mani said and Maria quickly nodded her head saying.

"Yes, I went there around 5:40AM. The line was crazy, I tell you" Maria lied through her teeth and smiled.

"That's my sentence exactly. The line at Brinhs is always crazy. Anyways, enjoy your breakfast" Miss Diana said as she walked over to her desk.

CLASS 3 A.

Calia entered the class and saw that almost half of the students were already in. She looked at Ad-Din and gave him a knowing smirk. He left the house so early today that she wondered where he went but seeing him in school so early, she guessed the reason but still wanted to tease him.

Calia took out an exercise book and walked to Ad-Din and spoke loudly for everyone to hear.

''Ad-Din, the assignment geography teacher gave us, I didn't understand. Could you help me?''

Calia said and pulled a chair closer to him and sat down. When the students heard her, they didn't suspect anything and took it normal since they all ask him for help at time.

Ad-Din frowned and glared at Calia. He knew her true reason for acting that way. Calia sat down and nudged at Ad-Din and winked her eye at him before saying in a low voice.

''You disappeared after the meeting last night. Big brother called me to ask about your whereabouts because you completely disappeared on him. Tell big sis the truth. Were you with Miss Lee? I need to know where you are in order to do a better job at covering up for you"

''Go back to your seat before I tell everyone that we are related''. Ad-Din said to her.

''Why? She is going to be my sister in law anyway. Don't you think you should have at least have one person in the family who will support your forbidden love story? Let me tell you. I like Miss Lee. I pick her over that green bitch who has her claws out for you. I will never accept her as part of the family even after 20 lifetimes''. Calia looked over at the empty desk of Karen Kash. She was in school yet.

''Calia, I am getting impatient with you. Go before I expose you''.

''Tsk. You are no fun at all. So boring. If you don't lighten up, Miss Lee is going to find you boring in no time. But, you don't have to worry because big sister here will be your guide through it all"

Calia said and stood up to go and saw Karen entering the class.

A naughty thought crossed her mind and she smirked before leaning closer to Ad-Din.

Karen stood at the entrance and saw everything. She frowned as soon as she saw Calia by Ad-Din's side.

Calia smirked and leaned closer to Ad-Din and whispered in his ears ''cousin, sorry for what I'm about to do''. Calia said and gave Ad-Din a peck on his cheek before he could even process her words.

Karen saw everything and bit her lips hard. Calia raised her hands in surrender and went to her desk. Ad-Din looked up and saw Karen and realised why Calia acted that way. He simply shook his head and opened his English text book not bothering about neither girls. He could never understand them.

Karen was so furious that she banged her bag on her desk and walked out.

FIRST BREAK.

Ad-Din took his tray and went to his table behind the teachers' wing. He purposefully went to the cafeteria today because he wanted to see Maria. They gave each other a subtle look before returning to their food.

Calia walked to Ad-Din's table with her tray and sat across Ad-Din. Ad- Din sighed and spoke to her.

''What do you want?'' He asked.

''What? I am protecting sister in law's spot. Can't let another lady sit here and create misunderstanding in your love life. Is your first love after all''. Calia said and started to eat her food.

Ad-Din shook his head and went on to eat his food.

Karen took her tray and turned and saw that Calia was with Ad-Din. Karen wondered what Calia's problem was. That girl had clung unto Ad-Din the whole morning making it impossible for her to have a conversation with him.

Now, even at the cafeteria, she was still with him. Karen felt that Calia was just a busybody who was out to sabotage her.

''Someone is drinking vinegar today. You should thank me, Ad. Thanks to me, that shrew is out of your face today. She must be very livid with me. Did you see that?''. Calia lifted her head towards Karen's direction and Ad-Din turned and looked. Karen was shooting daggers at Calia with her eyes but as soon as Ad-Din turned, she flashed a smile but glared at Calia.

"See that? If looks could kill, I would be dead and gone by now" Calia added as she stole a piece of meat from Ad-Din.

''If you know that then why are you intentionally provoking her? That girl is not normal. Stay away from her business''.

''No, no. She has no business aside from you and as long as you are her business, she will also be my business. Now that I have someone I support, I don't intend on letting that bitch go near you. You should seriously thank me''. Calia picked a boiled egg from Ad-Din's plate after saying that.

''You will be the one to bring misunderstanding in my love life with the way you keep stealing my food. What if Maria sees this and misunderstand? Don't you think everyone is finding your actions rather strange lately?"' Ad-Din said.

''Just tell Miss Lee about our relationship as for the others, ignore them as you always do. No one will dare talk about me anyways. But...?" Calia paused and looked at Ad-Din teasingly before adding "you are already on first name calling basis? Whoa. Ad, I really admire your guts and courage. Even if the whole world is against you, I Calia Banks will support you''.

''Okay, don't go back on your words when things go south for me later on''. Ad-Din smiled and ate his food.

" I always keep to my words. Have you forgotten who I am? I am Calia Banks!!''

"Yes, you are Calia Banks, my only trusted friend. Now eat before the food go cold" Ad-Din said and Calia smiled and went back to eating her food while occasionally stealing Ad-Din's food.
