21. Three times

The Hijabi's Romeo1,066 words~6 min read

"No." I stated. "I am not going to jump a thousand meter from the ground. Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Don't tell me you're scared, lion or should I say kitten."

"I'm not a kitten." I snapped "I'm just...afraid of height."

"Well fear are there for you to overcome them, right?" He said and threw me on his shoulder. Panic and excitement rose inside of me and I did not know which one of them was stronger.

He started to walk towards the helicopter and greeted the pilot. I didn't bother to fight him, I've already tried that.

Amir dropped me slowly on the seat and sat beside me. My blood ran cold, my heart raced.

Ya Allah help me. But Layla sooner or later you're going to face this fear might as well be it today.

"You're being awfully quiet. Are you frightened, little kitten?" He mocked me but his smile dropped when he saw my face. "You've gone pale, we can go somewhere else if you really scared." He spoke with concern.

He sounded so forgein that I thought he wasn't him. I grabbed his arm and squeezed it lightly. "No, I can do this. This is nothing for indeed I'm a lion." I said, my voice hoarse while failing at smirking.

"I promise you won't die from this."

"If I die I'll kill you on the judgement day."

"If we meet each other."

"I will hunt you down."

He chuckled and there went my heart crazy. But I became relaxed nonetheless. "I'm ready."

Amir gestured to the pilot and the next second I found myself heavy with equipment with Amir behind me in a raging helicopter flying in the air.

Me and Amir shared one parachute together and my back got attached to his chest. I don't know how this works but the pilot tries his best to explain.

After about a mile from the ground Amir opened the door and I could hear nothing but the sound the wild wind. Ya Allah I'm really doing this, I'm jumping.

"We're jumping, brace yourself lion." Amir whispered right into my ear which resulted goosebumps covering on skin.

And we were falling.

More like flying.

Amir held my hands as we had them by our heads. Before I knew I was laughing and feeling relaxed.

A lot of feelings washed over me but all I could think about was 'i want to tried it again' and 'why haven't I tried it before'.

The wind was blowing against my cheek barely hearing a thing nor Amir's laugh but I could get a glimpse of his grin and feel his hot breath on my neck as he slightly squeezed both of my hands.

My raced and I don't know if it's because of the fall or Amir.

Why do I have this feelings for him?

Why? Why is it always like this? Why is that I can never control myself when it comes to Amir?

I never thought about anyone like this before. Even thought I know how hopeless this love is. I still believed in it more than I should. I still think of him more than I should.

If it wasn't Amir, I wonder who I would fall for. Would he have Amir's attitude or would he be a whole different person?

Does he like me? Does he think I'm annoying? Am I just a girl to him or am I someone he just waste time on?

Amir pulled a string and a huge parachute dragged us up from the falling. I glanced at the ground.

Wow, everything looks small from up here. I wonder if the birds are tired of this view since they fly all time.

After a few minute I stopped laughing and grinned hard from ear to ear.

We finally landed and as my feet touched the ground I tripped and fell face first.

Amir's weight did not help as he too landed on me because we were attached. But when a second passed Amir pulled us both up and my feet were not touching the ground as he were taller than me.

I felt like a baby in a baby carrier.

"Awwe you look so cute there." Amir pinched my cheeks. I blushed but thank god he could not see me. I slapped his hands away which earned me a chuckle.

"Can you take off this thing?"

"Nah I rather have you like this."

I heard him taking off everything except the band that binds us together. And he started walking to the helicopter.

I wiggle my legs hard and purposely hitting his in the process.

"Amir, why you little..."

This guy love to watch me suffer huh!

"Stay still kitten or you'll get hurt."

"I am not a kitten-" my words cut short when I click and ended up on the ground. I think I touched something or it was him.

I whipped my head to him feeling rage taking over.

"I'll kill you."

"Come and catch me kitten." He smirked.

That's it! I was up on my feet and started chasing him.

"You're slow!" He shouted as he ran away. That made me run even faster. I think it's time to use all my training.

I don't know where we're running to. Heck I don't even know where we are, all I can think about is him.

Why do i lose it when it comes to him? Why?

What is this feelings I'm getting? Why do I have a lot questions about myself?

Later, I gotta catch him first.

I was catching up to him. Just a little faster....

He was just an inch away.

I held my hand up to grab his shirt. And I did but he suddenly stopped and I lost my balance because of my speed.

I crashed into his back and fell on my butt this time. This is the third time I fell today! What is happening to me?!

"How are you the captain of the track team with a speed like that? You need a lot of training."

He was messing with me?! He slowed down for me to catch him?

He stretched his hand to me smiling.

That smile is just....

"Oh and I know I'm quite handsome but you didn't have to fall for me three times."

I'm in trouble.
