A Toast
Farah grinned from ear to ear, chin resting on clasped hands. Nadia, taking a sip of wine, also looked at me with curious eyes. However, Malik just stared at his food.
I swiveled on my chair and extended my leg, the fabric revealing my thigh, I noticed Malik's ears went red.
I gently pulled the silver chain out of my knife's sheath. It was heavier than I expected.
I walked over to Farah and sat on his lap. Something I'd been doing most of my life, I'm embarrassed to say that I love him, as a father of course.
He took it from me gently, taking a minute to examine it. A smile formed on my face watching the proud glint in his eyes.
He lifted it over my head and fastened the clasp.
Malik
Do you want me to forge it into something else?
I carresed the diamonds edges with my fingers, a smile tugging the corners of my mouth. Suddenly I felt a twinge of power surge in my body, how strange...
I snapped out of whatever trance I was in.
Farah
A toast, to your success my heart!
The three men before me lifted their glasses, Farah poured a little into my cup and passed it to me.
Farah
A drop, you're still too young.
We all downed the wine in sync.
About an hour later, Farah was drunk and bragging about my achievement. Nadia was trying to convince a chair, who he thought was an entertainer, to sleep with him. And Malik....
I was carrying Malik on my shoulder, he's such a lightweight. But he's too proud to admit it.
Ziva
Why.... are you... so.... heavy?
I heaved him onto his bed and took a step back to breath.
My foot got caught in the sheets and I fell on top of him. Now it was my turn to be tomato red.
He slurred, wrapping a heavy, toned arm around me.
Why are you stuttering like a fool? It's just Malik!
.... But the way he's looking at me....
Malik
D-don't leave.... me.
I nodded, he rolled over pulling me with him. We were both on our sides, faces inches apart.
His golden eyes bore into mine.
Ziva
Y-you just mean sleeping..... right?
Before I finished my question he'd fallen asleep.
I kissed his forehead and snuggled into him.
