Writer's POV:
For the rest of the week, everything went well. Asahd would still stick to Saïda who was very fond of his company. Closer and closer they seemed to get. Their feelings were even more complicated and there was nothing they could do about them.

"Are you seeing someone else, Asahd?" Allison asked her boyfriend one particular weekend night while they hanged out in town.
Asahd stopped, surprised. He turned and looked at her.
"What? What are you asking me that?" Asahd asked.
"You didn't answer my question. Are you?" Ally repeated lowly.
Asahd was silent for a short while but then answered.
"I'm not seeing anyone, Allison."
'That is, officially...'
"Why would you think that?" he added.
