her on the cheek.
     
    Amir smiled as he watched Tariq and Sara flirting. He was happy to see his brother so happy and married. This was something no one expected. He turned his attention to Soraya, who was sitting across the room. She was dressed in a blue halter-top dress, which ended at the knee. The dress was cut low showing off her cleavage. Her hair was wavy and pinned on the right side. She wore purple lipstick. This was Amir's first time seeing her like this. It was nice. He wanted to go speak with her but couldn't, he was sitting with Malik.
     
    After Alex finished her meal, she approached Sara and Tariq. It was time for her to meet him in the flesh. It was long overdue.
     
    “Congratulations to you both,” Alex said to them.
     
    “Thank you,” Tariq replied. He was about to ask her who she was when Sara spoke up.
     
    “Lex! Good, you're here, now I can introduce you two,” Sara said. She turned to face Tariq. “Babe, this is my best friend, Alex.” Alex looked him up and down.
     
    “Nice to meet you,” Tariq said to her.
     
    “Likewise, handsome,” Alex replied. Tariq raised his eyebrows. He was not expecting the compliment. Sara laughed. “Treat her right, otherwise I'll hunt you down,” Alex added.
     
    “Excuse me?”
     
    “As her friend and sister, it is my obligation to threaten your life if you misbehave. Anyway, let the singles, mingle.” Alex looked at Sara and mouthed, he's gorgeous. She winked at her then left. Sara laughed and shook her head, typical Alex. If she found a guy attractive, she was not afraid to say it. She was not subtle.
     
    Amir was in the middle of a conversation. He turned and saw Soraya speaking with Kalil Burka. Someone Amir was not fond of. It frustrated him even more that he was speaking with her. He immediately excused himself and walked over to Soraya like a man on mission. He reached her and interrupted the conversation.
     
    “Hello, habibti,” Amir said and took Soraya's hand into his. Soraya was caught off guard but it did not surprise her. Amir was always popping up out of nowhere.
     
    “We are in the middle of a conversation,” Soraya said to Amir.
     
    “And now it's finished,” Amir replied looking at Kalil.
     
    “Amir, arrogant as always,” Kalil said.
     
    “And you're as irritating as always.”
     
    Soraya frowned. She looked at both Kalil and Amir. “You two know each other?” she asked.
     
    “Unfortunately,” Amir said. He helped Soraya to her feet. She was about to protest but Amir put his hand up to stop her from talking.
     
    “You never learned how to treat women,” Kalil said as he stood up. He held Soraya's arm. Amir flicked his hand off immediately.
     
    “Keep your hands off what's mine,” Amir warned him and walked off with Soraya. They made their way out of the room and into the corridor. Soraya shook her arm free from Amir and slapped him. He widened his eyes. He looked at her with confusion. He was not expecting her to do that.
     
    “Are you crazy?” Soraya shouted at him.
     
    “What is that for?” Amir asked her as he rubbed his cheek. She had a strong swing.
     
    “This is the second time that you acted like that, only this time it was worse. What’s your problem?” Soraya placed her hands on her hips and stared at him impatiently. “What are you smirking at?” she asked when she noticed his look.
     
    “This is the first reaction you've ever given me.”
     
    “Me, getting angry, pleases you?”
     
    “It's adorable.”
     
    Soraya resisted the urge to slap him again. He moved closer to her and stopped smiling. He looked her in the eye.
     
    “I don't like seeing you with other men,” Amir said. His tone had changed. It was more serious. His facial expression was more intense.
     
    “Like I said last time-” Before Soraya could finish her sentence, Amir cut her off.
     
    “I don't care, you are mine and I will claim you.”
     
    His words gave her a mix of emotions. How can he say claim? She
