Qasim laughed at that leaning back in the water floating exposing his naked front to the warm sun contrasted with the cool water. His eyes were closed. " Well I suppose if anyone is able to do such a thing it would be you Raya. I am not knowing how they could turn you away at their gates. " He chuck...

Qasim shook his head the smile still on his lips "That is fine Raya, I do not know you well either. I know I like you, I know Soraya loves you and I know you have a good heart. I was not asking if you loved me or if you could, just seeing where we might fit together in this great big puzzle. if you ...

Qasim thought for a moment "Well I for one am excited to see where this takes us. I love travelling and doing so with friends will be much better. With people I love? I cannot think of a better way to see the world." He looked to Raya "I have not yet figured out how we fit together. You love Soraya,...
