Jecinta's hopes rose up when Amal finally decided to let her in though she could sense it he was uneasy. "Welcome, let me get you something to eat." He said as he shut the door behind her. Amal's apartment was just one of a kind. Jecinta couldn't stop herself from smiling and imagining being in such a place as the woman of the house. She sat down on the blue couch and stared all around smiling. 'A man in love with white.' she thought. Her thoughts were based on her being there forever and never moving out. Amal came back from the kitchen with a plate of rice and chicken stew. "You cook?" She asked breaking the silence and tension that kept accumulating. "Amh, yeah I do, I live here alone so I have to know how to cook." He said looking still uneasy. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience am causing you by staying here." She said. Amal sat down, far from her. She felt unhappy. "It's okay, you are Sham's friend that makes you my friend too."

'Sham, seriously. Is everything going to be all about Sham.' She thought. She felt hatred and jealousy brewing up inside her mind. Her throat was full of a lump. "About Sham, has she talked." She asked. Amal kept his eyes glued on the TV. He was watching the show, she changed her attention to the show too at least to comment on it to erase the uneasiness he had. "No, she hasn't." He replied few minutes later. Silence filled the room and Jecinta was getting bored, she wanted to have fun and spend quality time with Amal, but Amal was too cold to her. She had to make it work no matter what, it was her only shot to be happy and most importantly to be rich, it was a guarantee with Amal by her side.

"How did you know where I live?" He asked finally landing her eyes on her. "Sham told me." She answered smiling. "Did she send you here?"

"No she told me later after spending a week with you."

"Ooh Okay." Amal said and turned his attention back to what he was busy watching. She moved closer to him and Amal did not react or move away. 'Ooh Yeah he wants me too.' she thought. "Why didn't you go to her place either, I mean she's your friend and closer than I am." He asked again facing her. "She's been moody off late and to add you are much of a close friend than she is." She said smiling. Amal smiled back with his eyebrows rising. It was a fake smile.

The show was over and Amal stood and took the dishes back to the kitchen. "I need to show you your room please." He said as he walked back to the living room. Amal took her bags and walked further. Jecinta followed behind her hands we itchy to touch him. She felt his presence in a whole new level and for a fact she was in love with him for quite some time, it just needed more time for her to realize. They got into a certain room. The room was light green in colour. It had a bed neatly made with light green duvet and the windows had light green curtains hunging behind them. The room smelt a sweet fragrance. She walked in a noticed light green wardrobe. He then placed the bag on the bed and faced her. "How long would you be staying?" He asked. She swallowed hard, it hurts. "A few days till I sort myself." She said trying to cover a frown by a fake smile. "Okay then, feel free to stay in here." He walked towards the door. "Amal.." she called out. Amal turned and nodded. "Thank you so much, you are the best." She said. Amal smiled and nodded at least it was a true smile this time. He then left the room.
