Chapter 21 - I am married

(One year later)

Zain's POV

It's Esther's birthday today! I have been having feelings for her for around one year now! In this one year time we grew more close. Most of the days I'll be having dinner with Esther and Emily! But I never confessed! Today I am going to confess! I told Emily about my plan and she helped me do all the arrangements. Right now we are both hiding in her walk in wardrobe. I must say, it is filled with formal suits and there are only two or three casuals! She is bathing now and when she comes in we will jump out and surprise her!

We heard the door clicking open , we his behind clothes. Emily lighted the candle on the cake we prepared and we both ran out screaming'Happy Birthday'! Esther stood there, scared and surprised.

She is only wearing a bathrobe. Her hair is wet and water droplets are dripping from her hair. There is a drop of water on her lips and I just wanna lick it from her lips. Oh god! I don't know how I am controlling myself!

"What the fuck? You scared the shit out of me!" Esther cursed.

"Happy birthday Esther, happy birthday Esther !" we started singing.

"Its my birthday? " she asked surprised.

"Yes , you dumbo!" Emily said. We ran to her and engulfed her in a group hug.

We cut the cake together and mmm! It's really tasty! I gave her a necklace with a star locket as her gift. The locket has some diamonds embedded in it. Emily gave her a pair of red heals.

Then Emily asked me to go downstairs and whispered in my ear that she has a surprise for me! I was confused still went downstairs quitely!

I helped Aunt Evelyn to serve all the dishes. I was opening a wine bottle when Esther and Emily came downstairs! I now understand what Emily's gift is!

Esther is wearing a red sleeveless short gown reaching right below her knees. She is wearing the necklace I gave her and the heels Emily gave her. She is smiling shyly and I am totally love this!

"How is my gift?" Emily asked me in a low voice.

"Loved it !" I replied

We had dinner chatting and laughing and the whole time I couldn't take my eyes off her. She's looking cute and sexy at the same time! I just want to eat her up!

After that we all had dinner together. Then Emily went back to her house and Aunt Evelyn went to her room to get some sleep. Now only Esther and I are left! I followed her to her study room.

"You said you have something to tell me!" she remained me.

"Yeah! Well..."

"Dont be hesitant, tell me!"

"Esther, I love you!" her expression suddenly changed.

"Not as a friend, but as a woman!" Zain added.

"Zain! Umm.. I am not in a state to love anyone!"

"I am ready to wait for you!"

"No, I won't ever be able to love you?"

"Why? You have someone you love?"

"Yes!"

"Who? In this one year I never saw him! Stop lying Esther!"

"I am not lying!"

"Yes you are!"

"Zain I am married!" she said.

"No!"

"I am!" she said showing him her ring finger. Zain was shocked!

"But Emily…"

"She also know this! Zain, don't be like this! We could continue being good friends like…"

Zain walked away his head hung low…
