Desert Encounter
Chapter 14

Emir and Naomi had been sitting in the back of this car for a few minutes now, which Naomi already found it extremely long.

With her elbow resting on the door and her hand holding her chin, she was impatient to know the destination of this unexpected exit and this was reflected by the fingers of her hand placed on her thigh frantically tapping.

The sheikh had been watching her from the corner of his eye since the beginning and when the young woman blew for the umpteenth time, he pinched the bridge of his nose before turning his face towards her.

《- go ask yourself your question

– well it took you a while to understand

Emir raised an eyebrow ready to say a few things when

– well I don’t have all day, so where are you taking me?

– oh yes, and what exactly have you planned for this day ahead. Did he taunt him openly

– I…………..that’s none of your business

– of course it is, everything that happens in my kingdom concerns me and what happens in my palace .

– this is what I would call violation of the privacy of others

– I assume.

He said seriously

– but………actually you are a dictator

– it depends on what you call dictator Miss Black. And if I may say so, you do nothing during your days except sleep and stay for long hours in front of your French window which you never go through. And these are the words of Mariama

– I won’t allow you

– too late.

She wanted to insult him with all kinds of names, because the playful glint that she could detect in the depths of his pupils showed how much he was making fun of her head.

His eyes, she had discovered, were the only part of his body that were expressive to her, as if he had given her the possibility of understanding him just through his gaze.

And strangely she liked that, being able to understand him without having to exchange words or see his facial expression change.

Another sigh, Emir said to himself when he saw the young woman blowing, if he allowed himself to smile or laugh, he would surely have shown her how much her childish behavior amused him.

– are you going to tell me? It must have been a good thirty minutes that your driver has been driving us.

– thank you for the reminder.

Another joke, if she could she would slit his throat now, there in this car but hey she was too young to go to prison.

She didn’t know that a sheikh could be such a pain in the a*s.

But what happened, Emir didn’t recognize himself, he saw himself 12 years ago, joking, good-natured when his parents were still alive. But this young man had disappeared.

So why did he allow himself to be so comfortable with this woman he had only known for a short time?

It’s true that she was magnificent but that wasn’t just the only reason, some unknown things pushed him more and more to get closer to her.

Perhaps it was the sadness that he detected in the depths of her eyes, this sadness that he must have felt one day, but no, there was something else.

A few things much stronger and he had every intention of finding out. So it was with confidence that he looked at her in detail for a few seconds before saying

– we are going to an orphanage Miss Black

Naomi opened her eyes wide, barely believing it before narrowing them thus accompanying her eyebrows, she did not understand why this destination

– sorry?

– you are all forgiven Miss Black

Another surprise that the sheikh detected in Naomi’s gaze and for the first time in a long time a slight grimace appeared on the corner of Emir’s lips.

He had just smiled, very slightly, but he had smiled.
