Love Untangled

I was roaming the palace halls, pretending to be a servant. My heart drummed when I first saw her. Jasmine’s cat-like green eyes haunted me from the moment that I had met her. The new maid in our Saudi palace was everything I had ever dreamed of; a body that made every man kneel, her intelligence was beyond imagination and her passion set my whole world on fire. Although I knew she truly loved me, her love for me was more like a game of push and pull. She did not wish to marry anyone, and certainly not me. Meeting Saphira back home in Malibu USA, had seemed like a welcome distraction. And although I resisted, we had deeply fallen. It was not something I could easily take back... Saphira was not everything that I had once dreamed of, and I certainly did not plan to love her. But I did regardless, irrevocably so. My name is Benjamin El-Raji Saud, Prince of Saudi Arabia. They say love wasn’t supposed to be easy, I know that now. The story of how our love became untangled, was messy and twisted and full of heart ache and betrayal. I truly did not know how our story would end, but is was ours. Which ship are you rooting for? #Shaphmin #Jazzmin #Shaphary #Benierra? #Saphlik?

The lie

*Saphira's POV*

"But Malik, though?" Lynn walked up to me. She studied me… "Do not get me wrong though.. I mean… it would be great if you move on from Ben…." she said thinking out loud.

"It is not like that at all!" I gushed. "There is nothing between Malik and …" I said louder than I had intended to.

Lynn burst out in laughter. "Well that is a big fat lie." She snickered. "Admit it." She smiled. 

"Really… there is NOTHING between us," I said irritated.

Lynn did not seem convinced. "So you do not find Malik attractive?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Of course he is." I shrugged. "What does that have to do with anything?" I said feeling narrowed into a corner.

"But come on.. He keeps asking for you like that," she said meaningfully.

"Then why don't you ask him what is going on?" I eyed her. "Because there is nothing going on from my side," I said innocently. 

"Fine, I will do just that," Lynn said walking towards the door.
