The Sheik's Reluctant Hostage (The Quabeca Sheiks 2) - Page 5
“Maybe this was not a good idea,” Saja said. There were too many choices; she did not know where to start.
“It is definitely a great idea. It spices up the marriage,” the shop assistant said to Saja.
“We are newlyweds, there is no need for spicing up,” Saja said and started smiling as she remembered the last few hours. She remembered Basil's hands all over her. Even though he had made love to her the night before and that afternoon, it still wasn't enough. She could never get enough of her husband. She was happy she waited until she was married. He was the only man she ever wanted to make love to her. She could never imagine being with anyone else.
“Congratulations,” the shop assistant said with a big smile.
“Thank you.”
The shop assistant kept showing Saja options while Mona and Amber helped Saja decide. After they finished shopping, they sat down to enjoy some ice cream.
“Have you met any of Basil's past lovers? What were they like?” Saja randomly asked as she licked her ice cream in the most unfeminine way. If Basil saw her, he probably would not approve. She pulled out her phone and took a picture of herself licking the ice cream so that she could show him later. She giggled as she put the phone in her pocket. It still amused her to tease him.
Amber and Mona looked at each other. The question Saja had just asked was random. She did not even seem like she was bothered by it.
“Why do you ask, your highness?” Amber questioned.
“I am curious. I'm sure that I’m nothing like them. In fact, I don't think I'm his type. Am I?” Saja asked. She realised that she did not know if she was his type. She had never asked. Mona and Amber looked at each other and waited for the other to reply.
“Well, you are much better than his previous lovers,” Amber finally said.
“Definitely,” Mona added.
“Relax, I simply want to know what his taste is like. I am not going to be jealous or angry, I swear,” Saja said. Amber and Mona clearly did not want to upset her. They were choosing their words carefully.
“Well, the Prince was never in any commitment for long,” Amber said. Saja was not surprised by that. The man was not good with people; women especially. Saja had first-hand experience.
“That is not a surprise, tell me more,” Saja said with a grin.
“Mostly, tall, gorgeous, model looking, not very intelligent, obnoxious, self-centred women,” Mona said. Amber and Saja both looked at her with their mouths open.
“Wow,” Saja said and started laughing. They walked out into the sun. “I take it that you didn’t like them,” she added.
“Well, I always thought that they were not up to his standards.”
“Mona!” Amber called out.
“It's okay, let her say her opinion,” Saja said.
“But the two of you make a perfect match. You're both intelligent and beautiful,” Mona smiled at her as Saja laughed.
“We do not make a perfect match. We are the opposite, have you forgotten how we met?”
The three of them started laughing as they remembered. Suddenly there was a tall, slim woman standing in front of Saja. She appeared to be in her early fifties. She stared at Saja with a look of hatred.
“Excuse ma'am, can we help you?” Amber asked her, immediately on the defence. She and Mona were very protective of Saja especially since she had refused a security detail. Since not many people knew her, she thought that there would be no point. The woman looked Saja up and down.
“So, you can simply carry on living your life as normal even though you have ruined the lives of others?” the woman asked.
“Do I know you?” Saja asked.
“Mother, don't bother with her,” Akeem said as he approached them. Saja looked up and saw him coming from a black car. She recognised the man in the driver's seat, it was Aman.
“You are El-Tamar's wife,” Saja said slowly. She had not met his wife when she was at his house and she did not want to meet her now. She had had about enough with the whole family.
“Disrespectful bitch!” Abia shouted.
“I have done nothing wrong to you, so please do not speak to me like that.”
