............................................


The Next morning:

Jinan woke up bright and early…tried waking Hind but it was useless…she wore her juicy trainings and went for her morning run…

The wind in her hair…the ipod blasting in her ear and her phone in her pocket set on vibrate. It felt like the perfect day…a perfect start.

She felt her phone vibrate…she pulled it out and found a message from an unknown number…

99986xxx
U look so sexy baby…

For a second she didn’t really grasp what it meant…someone was watching her?
She looked up and looked around to see if she can spot a familiar face…

Her thoughts were that of Hanood pranking her or something close to that…
Then she got another message…

99986xxx
7abeebty mu 7ilwa ilbnaya titlafat…sim3ay kalamy ;*

Her heart started to race…was this for real?! Mino?!!

She looked around again…hoping to catch Hanood and kill her for scaring her…

99986xxx
Shgilt baby? Laish matism3een ilkalam? ;( tza3leen 7abeeebich?

She headed back scared and confused….who the hell could it be? As she was heading back she composed a msg..

To 99986xxx
Mino?

From 99986xxx
7abeebich oo glabich

To 99986xxx
La jad mino?

From 99986xxx
Ba3ad Jad? Wa7ed mayet 3alaich ;*

She got in and saw everyone up around the dining table…none of them had their mobiles next to them…is it a prank?

She sat down…

“Shfeech?” hind asked concerned
“ha? Walashay” she lied…should she tell her?
“hind I need you after this” she whispered.

Hind nodded…after eating breakfast they sat outside together…Lulu and Joury shared a blanket…

“taboon jackait? 3ndy hoodies itha taboon?”

“La la we’re fine” they said in unison

“Hoodie!” Jinan said as if realizing something…

Could it be Jara7? For some reason she hoped it’s not…it doesn’t suit him…it just doesn’t.

Ugh! Please don’t let it be him!!! She thought

Hind and Jinan went for a walk
“I got these messages today…walla Hanoood it’s freaking me out!”

She showed Hanood hoping she’ll have an answer…Hind looked back with a worried expression..

“you think it’s Jara7?”
“No! no no it can’t be”
“why not? We don’t know him”
“I just don’t think he’s this kind of guy”
“we don’t know that…but I don’t believe it’s him either…it just doesn’t feel like him…he was so sweet…I mean he gave you his hoodie!”
“I know! But…who the hell is it?!”

Hind shrugged her shoulders…

“you think we should tell 9ali7? I mean he’s close with us…we’ll tell Joury or Lulu and they can tell him”
“NO!...no fashla!...let’s let it go” they nodded…

They walked back to the guys.

“so what are we going to do today?”
“illy taboona…bas after we do what you girls want…you have to do what we want” they said with a smirk.

To tell you the truth…that sentence alone started the excitement of the day…

“anything we wanted?” Joury asked with a raised eye brow

The guys nodded

“anything?”
“anything”
“this should be fun…”
“bas if you torture us we torture you right back” they laughed as the girls thought of things they wanted to do…
“9ali7 how many things can we do?”
“laish tis2loon 9wail7 bas? Oo ana? Mally kilma?”
“emm..sorry ha cham shay?”
“three?” they looked at each other…
“No FOUR!! Kil wa7da laha shay”
“fine…four…oo i7na four”
“not bad…2 for me 2 for you” they laughed..

After all they were only two guys against four girls so it added up….
So the girls thought of something..each one had to think of something to do…

“ha? Yalla we don’t have all day…shgilto?”
“it’s a deal!!!”
“no I mean…shino awal shay binsawee?”
“emm…Hind you first”
“laish ana?!!!”
“we didn’t think of something…yalla”
“ok…emm…” a smile crept up in her face…
“I want to…oh!! This is with the help of Janoon…we’re karoaking..”

The guys had a horror look on their faces as the girls squealed!

“HAHAHA good one!!”
“ok ok itshoofoon”

The girls hurried to prepare everything…they got the living room set for the battle of the sexes.

“you guys ready to fall flat on your faces?”
“You’d wish that don’t ya?” they laughed
They picked the song as each person had to sing a song Jinan and Hind sung their songs…it was Lulu’s turn.
“no no pleaaaaasssseeee pleassssse maby”
“mako! Itha i7na bin’3anee intay bit’3aneeen”
“no walla I can’t remember the words!!”
“not one song?”
“common Lulu!!! I’ll sing with you”
“no no kil wa7da ibroo7ha”
“common make an exception”
“we sang on our own! Chan gilto it’s fine to sing in pairs!!!”

Joury didn’t sing yet so she decided to sing with Lulu..

After they were done singing…it was the guys turn…

3bdalla and 9ali7 were impressed with Lulu and Joury’s performance…they were really good…all in all the girls sang beautifully for the first time…they usually get carried away and so does their voices but they were great this time…

“shino in’3anee?”
“illy taboona…yalla we want to hear your horrible voices…”
“yalla 3boood 5an wareehum shlon I’3anoon” the girls laughed…

They girls couldn’t help but laugh…although their voices were amazing mashala they laughed on the fact they were able to make them do what they wanted.

“we should join American idol…we have a big chance of winning…” she laughed
“la7’6to we didn’t suck today?”
“I know!!! Yimken ‘cause they’re around” she motioned towards the guys.
“yala dorna il7na…”
“yalla” the girls waited nervously on what the guys were up to…
“binajer bagyaaat…yala”
“buggies?” Hind asked desperately…

Hind had an incident when she was younger…buggies terrify her..she hates it…it’s the only thing she just can’t stand. The fall alone is going to be a majer pain.

The guys looked at eachother and laughed their hearts out…

“Payback” the girls laughed but Lulu was quiet…how is she going to ride? She’ll just be a burden!
“shfeech?” he whispered softly in her ear
“ha? *nervous laughter* nothing…”
“you’ll be fine”

She nodded…he’s slowly making his way to her unconsciously...

The girls wore their puma’s, Ugg’s and flat boots…

3bdalla held Lulu walking her to 9ali7’s car…9ali7 came over and took her from him...9ali7 does trust 3bdalla but he’s still her brother in the end.

The girls got in and 3bdalla got into the driver’s seat.
“3bdalla 9ali7…emm…please mabee buggy…please?”
“ana weyaha!”

“shino shino?! La mako mithel ma 5alateena in’3anee bitrkbeeen”
“please walla a5aaf!”
“ana ba3ad!!”
“Lulu kintay itga79een bil buggy”
“Kint…9ali7 I don’t want to ride with someone…ana ban6irkom minny”
“wain?”
“in the car”
“9aloo7! Ma3indina banat yig3doon fil sayara ibroo7hum 9a7?” he winked
“eee…eee…Lulu mintay ga3da”
“ha?!! Laish?!! Shda3wa agfil ilbab!!”
“mako! Bitrkbeeen weyana”
“inzain…so does this mean I don’t have to go?”
“mako!!! Kilkom btrkboooon!”

Hind whispered into Lulu’s ear

“Wow he’s so hot right now”
Lulu giggled
“I swear!! I mean he’s always DREAMY but he’s soooooo HOT right now” Lulu giggled louder
“sh3indkom?”
“wala shay!!” Lulu quickly spat back

Everyone laughed at her reaction..
3bdalla parked as 9ali7 went down to talk to the guy…he got five buggies

“no 9ali7 ana barkab weya Jinan” she yelled from the car
“5alas ok”
“Joury ana weyach?”
“yeah”
“la2” they all turned to look at him surprised
“laish?”
“tirkab weya 9ali7 aw ma3ay it’s safer”
“excuse me bas I’m safe! I’m so safe mothers will give me their newly born baby to take for a ride”
9ali7 climbed at that moment..
“la 3bood 9a7 kalama…tirkab weyana a7san”
“haaay!! I want to ride with Joury!”
“mako!”
“ha?!! Maby! I want to ride with her!! you want me with you right Joury?”
“yes!”
“ohoo…3aneeda shinsawee…”

She giggled…

“sorry”
“ma3alay…5ala9 9aloo7 shitgool?”
“Joury 7i6ay balich intay ba3ad Jinan…malna 5ilg wa7da i6ee7 bil’3ala6”
“lat 5ari3naaaa!!!”
“5ala9 5ala9 yalaa” they climbed down the car and got into their buggies…

Joury got onto the buggy…9ali7 bent down near her…

“7i6ay balich …”
“hal kalam bas 3ashan Lulu?” she pouted

He laughed

“la *wink* 7agich intay ba3ad…” she laughed…

Hind kept starring at the buggy in front of her..

“please? Walla I can’t!”
“Hindo ana ma3ach!!!”
“Janooon!! That doesn’t help at all!!”
“Ya 7maraaa!! I’m a safe rider!!”
“Shut up! I’m still not feeling any better about this!!” she whined

She felt someone starring at her…she looked up and saw a man…not bad looking I might add…smiling at her.

“god! Now I really don’t feel good about this!!”
“what now?!”
“that guy is freaking me out!”
“hahahaha you’ve always wanted someone to notice you…well there he is” Janoon joked
“shut up” she lauged
“walla Hanood he’s not bad looking”
“don’t tell me that!!! my god!!”
“shfeech it’s just a guy!”
“just a guy?!!! You don’t know me at all do you?!” they laughed…Hind still starring at the buggy Jinan was on.
“mara7 e9eer shay” 9ali7 told her holding back a laugh..
“you’re enjoying this aren’t you?!!”
“every minute of it” he laughed with 3bdalla

3bdalla walked lulu to the buggy Joury was on…

“ready?”
“not really but I don’t have a choice do i?”
“lilasaf la2”
She giggled as he placed her behind Joury…

“tmaskay” he ordered her softly
“inshala”
“Hind mara7 e9eeeer shay get on the buggy”
“fine!! Bas I would watch my back if I was you”
“threatening? Ba3ad?” he laughed

The guy stared at hind….laughing at her fearful expression..she was very selfconsious that he’s watching her.

He drove off with his friends leaving to breathe.

“Janooon shway shway ok?”
“inshala!! Yala hold on”

9ali7 took the lead as the rest followed….they could see 9ali7 and 3bdalla goofing off and showing off their skills…

Hind held on for her life…Jinan wasn’t driving that fast but she wasn’t exactly smooth.

“Jinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! Ya 7maraaa slow down!”
“waaaay Hanoooood where’s the fun in that?!!” she sped faster
“JANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!”
“there’s goes my hearing!!! Stop shouting!!! And relax!! Mako shay!”
“please slow down! Walla awreeech!”
“5ala9 5ala9 I’ll slow down!”

Lulu felt the cold air against her face and through her hair…holding firmly onto Joury….

“You ok?!!”
“yes”
“want us to go faster?”
“yes!!”
“*laughing* hold on”

Joury passed 9ali7 and 3bdalla…

“5AFEEFAAAY!!!”
“you want us to?”
“No!! *giggling*”

She kept the speed up…

Jinan and hind were behind…Joury and lulu were far from them…9ali7 sped towards them so did 3bdalla

“JOOURY 5AFEEFAAAY” he yelled
“LAAIISSSHH?!! IT’S FUN!”
“JOOURY!!”
“WHAT?!!”
“5AFEFAAAY!”
“want us to?”
“I think we should”
“ugh! Fine…FINE!!”

She slowed down stopping on the side waiting on them…

“Joury don’t ever drive like that again…ok?”
“I wasn’t driving that fast…”he gave her a questioning eyebrow lift..
“I wasn’t!”
“hathaaylaa lal7een maw9ilo”

They looked back at Jinan and hind with a smile on their faces…they were so far behind…

“ha Lulu istanastaaaay? Welaaaaa?”
“7addi istanast”
“good”

They waited as the slowpokes caught up with them…

“JOOURY MAYNOONA?!!”
“shfeech?!!”
“FEE A7AD ESOOG CHITHY?!! U HAVE A DEATH WISH OO ANA MADREE?!!”
Joury laughed…
“you’ll never know”

9ali7 looked back….death and Joury..he felt protective for a split second…
Joury looked at his weird expression…

“shfeek 9ali7?”
“walashay…”
“ta3alay weyay..mintay sayga”
“ha?!! Oo ana?”
“rikbay weyay ana”

Her heart pounded…should she?

3bdalla walked towards her…and sat her on his buggy…he sat himself behind her…
“what about the buggy?!”
“Hind will drive it”
“WHAT?!! ARE YOU INSANE?!!”
“*laughing* at’3ashmar wala at’3ashmar…that guy is going to take it”

The boy in charge of the buggies came over to them and took it away as 3bdalla and Jinan headed back…

Joury was still standing…watching 9ali7…it felt awkward to just go with him…

“shfeech? Maney maklich”
“I know…but I might” she laughed…
“oh!! Can I drive?!”
“no..”
“pleaaaaase?”
“*laughing* no”
“coward” she walked towards him initially to sit behind him but he pushed her ever so slightly away…

“what gives?!”
“shgiltay?”
“what?” she had a crocked smile plastered on her face

“masima3at 3eeday…ana bafham cham sina 3aysha weyay? Matadreen *getting off the buggy..her heart banging like there’s no tomorrow* ina ma7ad yit7adany?” he had an ever so small smile on his breath taking face…

“ana mat7adaitik”
“laa?”
“What are you going to do about it?!” her smile grew
“Don’t push me”
“I think I am”

He held her waist pulling her slightly towards him…he got closer to her…his face inches away from hers.

“You sure about that?” he asked as he backed away imprisoning her in this trap of his.

For a few seconds she was dumbfounded…had a loss of words…she liked it.

She shook her head and got behind 9ali7 on the buggy.

As 3bdalla drove he asked Lulu a question she never thought she’ll hear…

“want to drive?”
“what?”
“tabeen itsoogeen?”
“I can’t” she felt the pain creeping up in her spine and chest…
Here I am in the arms of this guy and he asks me if I want to drive?!!! She thought

I can’t walk on my own and he wants me to drive?! She kept thinking
Everything I see is darkness….emptiness…I have to deal with it on my own and here he comes
and asks me if I want something I can’t have…

“if this is a joke it’s not funny…just because I’m blind you don’t have to shove it in my face”
“Lulu 7abebty walla ana min 9ijy…tabeen wela la2?”

She felt her cheeks burn did he call her that?!! did he say 7abebty?!!

My god let it go!!! He just feels bad for me!!

“how?”
“yes or no?”
“yeah”

He slowed down coming to a stop…he slid his hands down her arms…held her wrists and placed them on the handles…

“Lulu?”
“hmm”
“this is the brake..feel it….” She felt shivers as his hands were over hers
“3bdalla” she barley whispered desperately.
“ana weyach lat5afeen”
“I can’t see”
“I’ll be your eyes shhhhh”
“this…you feel it?”
“mhmm”

He showed her where everything was…it wasn’t her first buggy…but to her it felt like the first time.

He wrapped an arm around her petit waist and another on the handle for control…

“drive”
“3bdalla”
“Lulu drive”

She was slightly shaking…his breaths on her neck…everything intensified for her…the slightest touch she felt…the lowest exhale she heard.

She did as she was told slowly…

“there’s nothing ahead…it’s clear…”

She sped alittle

“7arakaaat”

She giggled

He described every little thing in front of her…from rocks and tiny bushes to the sky and clouds.
She felt like she could see again…his detailed description just made her imagine it so much she felt like she was sighted again.

A tear fell…a tear of heart ache…and longing…how she wishes she could see the face behind this beautiful voice. This man who comforts her like no other.

“Lulu? Shfeech?”
“mafeeny shay” she quickly answered embarrassed..
“Lulu Goleelee shfeech?!” he asked worried
“welaa it’s stupid! It’s nothing!”
“Lulu” he carefully pulled her hands away and placed his instead stopping.

“……………I just…nothing”
“Lulu adree feech shay!…az3al?”
“no!! i just felt like I could see again…madree it’s been a while since I pictured anything”
“bas hatha akeed?”
“ee I told you it was stupid” she laughed
“it’s not…ha? Tabeen itsoogeen?”

She shook her head.

He drove back to the owner of the buggies…he helped Lulu off and took her to the car…
Jinan and Hind were already in the car waiting for the rest…the only ones missing now are Joury and 9ali7.

9ali7 was goofing off…speeding uncontrollably.

“9ali7 slow down!!”
“5ayfa?”
“no!! bas slow down!!!”
“laish?!! It’s fun”
“I see what you’re doing!!!... ahhhh!! Slow down!! I know what you’re doing!!”
“what am I doing?” he asked with a smile
“you’re getting back at me for speeding!!”
“any proof?”
“9aaaaaaaaali7!!”
He laughed as Joury held him tighter fearing she might fall.
“9ali7 ba6eee7…you want that?!!”
“ma6ee7een ila lama agoolich 6ee7ay!”
“ha?!! 9ali7 shit!! Slow down!”
“tisk tisk tisk sh’hal kalam?”
“god!! You’re driving me insane!! Walla I’m scared!!”

He slowed down…stopped and looked back at her tearful eyes…

He turned towards her wiping her tears.

“shda3waaa Joury…ana weyach mala da3ee tabcheen”
“I am NOT crying!! It’s the wind!”
“ok ok” he said not believing her
“IT IS!!”
“magilt shay” he laughed driving back to the guys..

it's now the girls turn to choose there next activity...something to really get back at the guys...
it's jinans turn...who knows what that crazy girl has in mind ;P....

.................................................................................


The girls packed their bags…Hind and Jinan drove over to 9ali7’s for their getaway weekend…
Joury packed and helped pick out Lulu’s clothes…9ali7 came in to check on them…

“ha 5ala9to?”
“ee..almost”
“3abood bi6reej”
“3bood?” Joury asked
“refeejee”
“oh”
“was he the one to drop me home before?”
“ee uhwa yala na6rkoom ta7at…Joury” she turned to face him with a soft smile managing to melt his heart again.

“ita9lay 3ala hind oo jinan shoofay waynhum”

“bi6reej I checked” he smiled and left

Everyone gathered in the living room...9ali7 introduced 3bdalla to the girls. This is the first time he’s ever been ok with a friend to hang with his sister, cousin and their friends…but 3bdalla was an exception…they’re really good friends and 9ali7 trusts him with his life.

Plus he’s going to need him there…

The men carried the girls’ bags to the car and they all scurried into 9ali7’s car.
3bdalla seemed to be staring at Lulu again…she seemed to look more beautiful than he remembered.

“ha any plans?”
“La la 3bood! Latyeeb 6aree plans!”
They guys laughed as the girls got interested in the story behind it…confused but curious.
“what plans?”
“la salfa 6weela bas bi5t9ar…nothing good comes from plans…3indina refeej lazem yamshee fee plan mu3ayan oo i7na 3ad kilish mu ma3a hal swalif ya3ni…spontaneous is our thing…fa ib weekend mo3ayn yanana reefeejna…yabee yamshe 3al schedule oo i7na 3ad kilish mu ma36eena wayeh…in the end…we ended up in a whole lota trouble *laughing*…maskeen min yomha ma shifna….” The girls laughed

They arrived outside their chalet house…

The girls got out of the car one after the other…when it was Lulu’s turn 3abdalla stood outside her door… opened his arms just in case she needs it…

She was able to climb out without anyone’s help.

The guys took the bags in as the girls hurried inside each one wanting the best view…

“Listen up kil ithnayn ib’3orfa…Lulu ‘3orfitich ta7at yam ‘3orfity ana oo 3bood”

“Laaaaaish?!!! La la Lulu weyana foog!” Hind complained

“La ashal laha ta7at…Joury intay weyaha oo hind and jinan foog…shraykoom? Wella taboona i7na foog? Oo ilbanat ta7at?”

“Emm I don’t know…”

“ok…there are 2 bedrooms upstairs as well as down stairs so…em..what do u say Lulu? Do u want to stay up or down?”

“I don’t mind it’s not like I’ll enjoy the view…” she laughed but everyone could feel her pain..

“that’s it…9ali7 and 3abdalla will take the bedrooms upstairs…each a room of their own and we’ll take the bedrooms here…what do u guys think?”
“we’re not going to say no to that…” the girls laughed as they settled in their rooms…







“this is so exciting!! Wanasa we never do stuff like this! and I can’t believe our parents agreed!!!”

“I know!!!! I’m still in a state of shock”

“9ali7 has his ways with parents…I don’t know what his secret is but..damn he’s good!”

They girls had their laughs here and their…listening to what Jinan and hind wanted to do…

“7adddddiii mishtahya atmasha….imshaw”
“mally 5ilg…I’m going to un-pack” Joury answered her
“Hind? Lulu?” she asked
“yalla I’ll go”
“I don’t feel like it”

Jinan smiled hugging Hanood….

“my god don’t go all mushy on me”
“HANOOOOOOOOOD!!” she laughed…
“SEE YA!” they were about to leave
“Ha ha ha!!! 3ala wain?”
“nitmasha…if you need us Joury has our number…yalla bye”
“Mata3zmoon?” 3bdala asked with half a smile
“7ayak…bas I should warn you…we talk a lot”
“la la ilmara ilyaya inshala” he laughed
“we talk a lot?”
“shut up we do”
“yeah I can see that”

The girls walked on the pathway…the place was quiet but crowded somehow…they were near a coffee shop…it was really crowded…
“Wai3 ma7ib chithy…wayed za7ma!”
“Hanood you always say tha…”

SPLAAAAAAAAAAASH

Jinan stood in her place trying to digest what just happened…
Someone accidently bumped into her spilling their cold red drink on her white shirt…

“Asef makan ga9dy ad” he paused starring at her…she was busy looking down on her shirt…while Hind was shocked to who was standing right in front of her. His heart certainly stopped beating…his eyes couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“la 3ady it’s fff” Jinan looked up…she didn’t think she’ll run into him anytime soon…
“it’s you”
“and you”

They stood there like complete idiots…starring at each other…

“Jinan let’s go”
“oh yeah…”
She turned to leave when he called her again…
“Jinan…asef”
“la 3ady…*smiling at him*”

She was starting to get cold…

“bardana?” he moved closer to her…after all he did spill his cold drink all over her.
“I’m heading back anyway it doesn’t matter”

He removed his hoodie and handed it over to her..

“La walla I’m fine... I need to go”
“3ashany” he walked closer…

She felt her cheeks burning…

She wore his hoodie… he liked the fact he was keeping her warm…he saw her walk away with Hind…she looked back at him. Never has she ever experienced something like this before.

“My god!!!! Did you see the way he was looking at you?!!! ana bafham kilman mayt 3alaikom oo ana?!! MEN!” Jinan couldn’t help but laugh at Hanood.

“That boy is so fine!!! God I don’t mind him spilling all his drinks on me” she sighed
Jinan laughed again
“of all places I didn’t think I’ll see him here!”
“I know!!!...Janooon” Hind hugged Jinan’s arm… “if you don’t want him can I have him?..”
“hahahaha….and you call me a slut”

They laughed as they got closer to their chalet…they looked at each other both realizing something they didn’t…

“You think?”
“No no no…I…nooh” they kept staring at each other…
“what if he’s here?!”
“we don’t know that until we do…nothing changes…Joury doesn’t have to worry”
“ok…you’re right”

The girls went back in…Janoon went to change…and Hanood walked out to the beach where they were all sitting.

“hi”

She sat with them…

“wain Janoon?”
“il7een btyeeey”
“imshay”
“wain?”
“nitmasha” she smiled and followed him.
…………………………………….

Joury:

We were sitting…just the four of us talking.
3bdalla seemed like a great guy…9ali7 looks like he trusts him a lot…

Hanood walked towards us…as she sat 9ali7 wanted me to go with him for a walk. I didn’t mind…I could use the fresh air.

I walked near him…it was really cold…he pulled me closer to him…it took me off guard I just laughed.

“dafeeni” he ordered
“shouldn’t I be saying that?” I laughed

He ran his hands up and down my arm…

“Jay laish mu labsa jackayyt?”

I shrugged my shoulders…

He kept me in his arms and kept me warm…I dug my face in his chest avoiding the cold wind.
He held me tighter and closer.

“inrid?”
“no…I like this”
“laaa?” he asked slyly
“9ali7!! You know what I mean!” I hit his chest…blushing.

We walked back to the chalet…it felt right…I just felt so much better around him…

“Joury!”
“what?!!” he scared me
“let’s race” he had the biggest smile ever…
“race??” I asked sarcastically and I ran away as fast as I could…

“aya shgoooool!!!” he ran after me…boy was he fast…

My heart was pounding and I couldn’t help but laugh… I could feel the cold wind hitting my face and running through my hair… I felt him right on my tail…

My heart beating so fast and my breathing was difficult…next thing I felt was arm around my waist spinning me around we both tumbled on the ground….we broke into a laugh..

9ali7 was over me and I couldn’t help laugh over how silly we looked…

“6ala3tay shay6ana” he said out of breath
“I learn from the best” I answered breathless

He was over me his hands pinning me down…

He starred for a long time…it felt weird…awkward right now…I was laughing a minute ago…god
I feel like he can see right through me…like he can read every thought…every emotion.

I laughed looking away…trying to change the weird air. He got off me and pulled me up.

“9ali7!!!” I whined
“shfeech?”
“I’m all sandy! You’re so going to pay for this” my clothes were covered with sand.

He laughed and showed me that he had the same problem…I brushed away the sand on my thighs as he brushed my shoulders and back…I helped him out. We kept laughing.

I felt warm…the run did help. We walked back to the group.
……………………………………

Jinan:

I didn’t want to take off his hoodie…I wanted to keep it…it smelled so good..god what’s with me.

He’s just a guy! Ugh! Shfeeeeni!

I’m still thinking about him…I sat with Hind, Lulu and 3bdalla out on the beach in my trainings after throwing my shirt in the laundry…

“Wain Joury?”
“with 9ali7 on a walk”
“mhmmm…”

We took lulu and sat near the water on our blanket…3bdalla left us. So it was just us girls.
“what’s on your mind slut?”
“excuse you!...nothing I was thinking…we do something crazy…”
“Like?”
“I don’t know…like…karaoke?”
The girls squealed…
“sh5barriii!!! Wanasa…we had the worst score ever!” god I remember that…

I was so into the song…I was hitting all the wrong notes at the wrong time…we were a disaster….

“hahahha I remember that…god that was so much fun!”
“you guys are crazy! that was not fun! That was painful!” she laughed…
God I miss her laugh…I hope she comes around…she’s still not the same…I guess you can’t be after what happened.
………………………………………
Lulu:

For the first time I was actually having fun with the girls…I was in pain…not being able to see and enjoy the view…not being able to go where I wanted to go without anyone’s help…but they do make me feel…whole…at times…they’re making me smile which is something I thought
would never happen.

I laughed so hard when Janoon mentioned Karaoke…we’re the worst known to history…we get so into the song we forget ourselves and get carried away. Those days were probably the best…in my state I don’t think I’ll experience anything the same way I did when I was whole.


“OH! I’ll be right back” I could feel her moving hastily I laughed what was I to do…like I said…she’s a free spirit…you can tell the her smile is geniun..her heart is geniun…
“what is that girl up to now?”
“who knows…” I laughed

A few mintues later she was back…

“YALAA!!” she yelled…I didn’t understand a thing…she pulled me up off the blanket.

All of a sudden I heard music blasting…it was lady Gaga’s Bad romance…Janoon grabbed my hands and forced me to dance with her.

“walla inkom imyanan…”
“GOOMAAAAY!!”
“walllaaa maney gayma lo shino!”
“GOOMAAAAAAAY HANOOOD!!!!”
“lo ishoofna a7ad?!!!”
“Life’s too short get off that Ass!!!” I laughed and kept moving with the beat…Dancing is something we live for…well we used to live for….but I guess it’s back on…for the first time I felt like I was able to do something on my own…I felt alive…the usual pain was there…I wish I could see this moment right now…to carve it in my memory.

I felt hind near me….i danced…I think I did at least…more songs came up and we kept dancing the night out…Janoon twirled me around…I felt Hind near my shoulder.

I felt…ecstatic. We fell on the blanket…we laid next to each other facing up…I felt the cold air around me…goosebumps on my arm…my heart settling back down…
“I7mmmmm…shitsawooon?”
“lying around…7ayak”
“hahahaa I’ll pass…Lulu chinij bardana”
“shwaya bas I’m fine…” god his voice beautiful…
“we’re fine thanks for checking” he laughed
“wala tiz3leen…ha bardana?” she laughed
“la I’m fine…eee much better”
“you said it sister” I heard them high five…

Crazy…that’s what you can describe the combination of Hind and Jinan.

“yala indish?”
“ooooh ashoofkoom mityam3een baraa” 9aloo7’s back
“hahaaha what the hell did you guys do?!”
“we danced…we rocked! You missed out”
“9ali7! Kila minik!! I Could’ve danced!” she whined in her daloo3a voice as usual…it’s cute on her it’s not her faking it…she’s always been so girly.
“afaa 3alaaaaich.”

All I heard then was laughter…someone pulled me off the blanket …I think it’s 3bdalla he’s hands were big…plus he pulled me up fast I felt like he was strong.

“He twirled her around in the sand” he whispered in my ear.
“thanks”
“anytime”

We walked back inside…9ali7 took me from 3bdalla and helped me in…the guys then left us and went to hang out with their friends…
.................................................................................

the girls sat on their beds talking enjoying their first day…hoping the rest are just as good….

Blind Love 9

“Joury!” the sound was so close to her ear…she froze in place…her friends surrounding her…
“Saif lo sama7t”
“hal shay bainy oo bainha”

Joury slowly turned to face him…

Her heart pounding so fast…

Jara7 kept his eyes on Lulu and the girls…but who really took his breath away was crazy Janoon…she looked really adorable with that scared look over the situation happening with
Joury.

Saif held Joury’s hand pulling her further away to talk in private however Jara7 was now Jinan’s prisoner…

“shlonich Lulu?”

Lulu was taken aback…how many guys know her?!!! this is too much!! Min mita did she know this amount of men?! It’s not until she was blind did she really see that she was somewhat surrounded by men in her life.

“aaa…il7imdela?”

The girls kept looking back and forth at this hunk who seemed to know Lulu…
“tathkreeni?”

The beautiful voice…the guy who helped her off the ground…could it be?

“la wela ma3arftik”
“kintay ib mamsha illy 3al ba7ar weya Joury…ana oo Saif”
“oh! Yeah…I think…yeah I think I remember you”
“good”
“bas I still don’t know you’re name”
“I give up ismy Jara7”

What the girls liked about Jara7 is that he kept eye contact with Lulu he didn’t once look away even though she was blind.

Janoon however was in two places at once…interested in this hot guy who only seemed to get hotter with every glance but also occupied with Joury who seemed to be struggling.

………………………………………

“Joury…”
“what do you want?” she asked quietly avoiding his eyes…he was surprised…it was obvious what he wanted and he didn’t think she’ll be this cold…it’s Joury..his Joury…no one is going to change that…not now….not when he loves her.

“Look at me….*avoiding his eyes*….Look at me”
“what do you want Saif?”
“you…it’s obvious don’t you think?”
“Saif…I can’t…”
“Jou”
“No don’t…isn’t it enough?!!…I can’t do this…I’m done”

He got angry…he doesn’t want to lose her… her words alone drove him to the edge…

“Joury shga3d itgooleen?!! Mu ibkayfich zain…illly baina mayint’hee ib hal s’hoola…3abalich bahidich…wela lo shino Joury manee hadich”
“Saif!” she gasped


Joury:

He wasn’t the Saif I knew…he was really angry…

“Shtabeeni agool?!...oo bashoof shbsawee 9ali7…il mara ilyaya wela itha mad edda 3alay wela athbi7a”
“ilmara ilyaya?!” I was angry and frustrated!!
“Shino ilmara ilyaya?!!! Kafee il 9ar!!!”
“Joury shga9dich?!”
“there isn’t going to be a next time!”
“SHGA9DICH?!!”
“you think I’m going to let you kill each other?!! NO”
“shga3d itgooleeen Joury?!”
“I’m saying this is it”
“ana shgilt?! Hal kalam masim3a mara thanya! Ana mu ga3ad al3ab weyach…hal kilma matingal bilsanich mara thanya”
“shbitsawee?! I don’t want this anymore!”

He pinned me against his car holding me from my shoulders…not hurting me but firmly holding me in place.

“mu ibkayifich…su2al wa7d Joury…ti7benee?” tears gathered in my eyes…I couldn’t handle this..
“let go” I whispered
“jawbeny” he ordered softly…getting closer to me..
………………………………………………..

As Jara7 waited for Lulu to introduce him to the girls…wanting to know who the girl’s name was…dying to get to meet Jinan.

“Emm Jara7 this…*holding her hand*…is…”
“Hind flan ilflani”
“3ashat ilasamy”
“3ashat ayamik” hind was really taken by how good looking he was.
“and this is”
“huh? *taking her eyes off Joury and Saif* emm Jinan flan ilflani”
Jinan …he thought to himself
“wini3m”
“*smiling* yin3am bi7alik”
She looked back at Joury…
“Mara7 e2atheeha” he reassured her…
“um…I know…” he smiled…for a few seconds Janoon was drawn to his pearly white smile…it just made him more attractive and he looked smart..to her that is..

“he better not…we should go get her”

“what time is it?”

“it’s 7:15…”

“5aloohum ishwaya…”

“bas…em.. *looking into his eyes…they seemed to calm her down*” she nodded in agreement and he flashed her his pearly whites again.

“I’ll give them 15 mints…I don’t care”

“we should’ve made codes…or hand signals or something..Just to know if she needed us!” Janoon blurted softly not realizing Jara7 was close by.

The girls laughed with Jara7 over her reaction when she saw him.
“a code?” hind started..
Jinan gave her a death stare…
“just to help her out!” they laughed again…
“shut up” she laughed with them
“but you have to admit it’s a good idea…don’t you think so?” she asked Jara7
“*laughing* yeah?”
“yes…* looking back at them*”
“see this is why you never date…nothing good comes of it!”

Jinan and Hind high fived.
Jara7 was being drawn into them..into her…Jinan

“OK what’s going on now?”
“they’re talking…he looks really angry and she looks upset.”
“relax Lulu..mako shay...”
…………………….

“Jawbeeny Joury t7beeni?” he asked her softly waiting for the answer…

Joury thought of it…she knows she loves him…but the only way to end this is to lie…that’s the only way…break his heart.

“…No” she answered quietly not looking at him

“bull shit”

“Saif let me go”

“and if I don’t”

“you don’t understand! I don’t love you anymore!” she looked directly into his eyes…holding back the tears as best she could…this is the only way she’ll make him leave her.

He moved away…this time he was crushed…the girl he fell for isn’t in-love with him…

She passed him and ran towards her friends..

“Lets go”

The girls followed her…hind holding Lulu and Jinan looking back at jara7…she just wanted to remember him.

They got into Hind’s car and Joury cried her eyes out…Lulu held her in her arms…Hind drove of…Jinan was in the passenger seat. She got another glimpse of Jara7…he saw her…his heart pounding…it’s been a while since he felt this way…the last time his heart skipped a beat was when he saw his wife for the first time…

Let it go he thought to himself…a girl like that deserves someone a lot better than me…he convinced himself…

He walked back to his friend who was resting his head on his arms on his car…breathing heavily.
Jara7 patted Saif’s shoulder for him to turn around and face him.

“a7ibha” he told him.

Jara7 nodded in agreement…Saif looked so sad.

“yalla imsh”
“mally 5ilg..rad ilbait”
“la la imsh ilchalet ma3ay” Saif smiled back…

The girls arrived at Lulu’s house…Joury helped Lulu down still crying.
Jinan helped them out allowing Joury to go ahead of them.

Joury ran in and crashed into something big and hard…she stumbled back as he held her shoulders fearing she might fall.

He saw the tears and worried about her.

“Shfeech Joury?” he asked impatiently
“Nothing” she pushed him away and ran up to Lulu’s room falling on to her bed and crying her eyes out.

9ali7 walked towards Jinan…who was with Lulu

“mashkoora maga9artay” he held Lulu and helped into the living room as Jinan left.

“Lulu?” he asked

“hmm?” she was dreading his next question

“Shfeeha Joury?”

“aa…9ali7”

“Lulu jawbeeny alla ee5aleech”

“we ran into…emm..”

“Saif?” he clenched his jaw when he mentioned him
She nodded…

“9idfaa?!!!” he asked angrily

“Yes! Wala 9ali7! She even told him to back off when he wanted to talk”

“good…” it tore his heart out on how much pain she was in…

He left her and walked up to Joury.

He knocked on the wide open door and walked in…Joury kept her head dug in the pillow.

“Joury…Joury” he caressed her back…
“please leave me alone…I’m not in the mood”
“Look at me…hey…” he softly said still caressing her back wanting to hold her in his arms…wanting to comfort her…to take away her tears if only she could take away the pain he has…over her.

She pulled herself off the pillow and looked at him with her teary eyes…he smiled. She threw her hands around him and cried soaking his shoulder.

“Hey..manaby tears…Jay…look at me”

She looked up… this is the first time they’ve talked since that NIGHT...

“mako shay fil dinya tswa dmoo3ich” he managed to make her softly smile. she hugged him…not wanting to let go.

He on the other hand was in pain…knowing that she’s going to let go…He wanted to keep her in his arms…
“shrayich inroo7 ilchalet in’3ayer jaw?...inyeeb ilbanat winajer chalet ib XX”she nodded with half a smile.
“yalla goomay ‘3aslay wayhich…” he pulled her up.

Blind Love 8

Dedicated to Babe o9 ;***

I know it's shorter than my usual posts but it's better than nothing ;P
..............................................

The girls arrived and walked into the coffee shop…

“ha wain nig3ad??”

“kayfkom”

“oo let’s sit there”

“Why there?”

“I see pretty boys”

“my god”

The girls laughed

“hay it’s not a bad view 3ayal taboon nig3ad hnak injabel those…emm…in need of a make under?”

“whoa…Damn those girls need to know the 411 about make-up”

“what do they look like?”

“emm…they’re eyes”

“I’ll say it!...their eyes alone have every freakin’ color known to mankind…you have to dig deep to
find their skin over all that grayish mountain of foundation…oh and their cheeks…my god they’re so pink you’d think they work at a circus.”

They girls cracked up again….Hind seriously shows no mercy.
as they were heading to a table

“oh my god” Joury barely exhaled.

“what?”

“shfeech Joury?” the girls asked concerned over the sudden changed in mood…one word was able to worry the girls…






“Saif”





“OMG wain?!”

“right there…what do I do?!”

“Nothing!” Lulu spoke up

“Did he see you?!”

“No”

“we can’t leave he’s right outside the entrance”

“maybe there’s a back door?”

“Hay!! Shfeekom?!! Wetha Saifo mawjood? Shino ya3ni?!! Maytjara2 eyee 9obna…ba3dain we’re here to have our dose of coffee and gossip”

“Gossip?”

“chub you know what I mean”

The girls rarely gossip…nothing really interesting in that they majorly talk about what’s happening in their lives, their plans…cute guys around campus…

“Joury you want to stay?”

“ha?” Joury's eyes still staring at Saif….

“Joury!”

“na3am?!” her head spun around to face Lulu who looked really uncomfortable.

“I don’t know…you know what no…I’m not moving…it doesn’t look like he’ll be coming in right?”

“right”

“right!”

“you sure?”

“yes…”

Joury didn’t dare look back at him. But what really went through her mind is how good he looked…sure there were the bruises 9ali7 gave him but he didn’t look heartbroken.

Saif walked in with his best friend…who knows every detail of Saif’s Life…as any best friend he wanted to beat the crap out of 9ali7 but he knew 9ali7… he knew he was a good guy and he probably would have done the same thing if he saw his cousin with a man he warned to keep his distance …but he couldn’t help it…Saif’s his best and oldest friend and he knew how much Joury meant to him so his attitude was that of any friend looking out for their buds.

Saif stopped mid way when his eyes landed on the girl he fell for…

You see my friends…Saif isn’t the one-woman kind of guy but that changed after he met Joury…Joury in the beginning was a chase…she was going to be just another girl…a fling…something passing by…that’s how he intended it to be. He was having his fun and didn’t realize how much of an impact Joury would be in his life.

The moment he knew he was now the sucker…the poor schmuck who finally met his match…he couldn’t help but admire her…the one girl who was able to capture his heart…the one girl who changed him in a way that rarely happens.


He stood there in his white polo pullover and jeans starring at her…she could feel his stare…it made her uncomfortable but she didn’t want to look up.


“Don’t you guys dare look up his way” she whispered as she re-read the mini cardboard menu.
Her friends kept their heads down…staring at their knees…

“How long are we staying like this?”

“yeah How long do you think we can stay like this without anyone suspecting something was up”

“it’s going to be obvious”


The girls chatted… eyes focusing on their knees…it’s quite an image really. Four girls at a table starring at their knees as they chatted on how awkward this was for them.

“Lulu why are you looking down?”

“Ha? Emm madree…I just don’t want to look up”

They giggled….

“Ha? Joury can we look up?”

“not until he moves! God why the hell isn’t he moving from his place?”

“maybe because he’s in a state of shock”

“it’s not just him!”

“I know we all are if we’re going to keep talking like this might as well end up in a mental ward!”

Lulu and Janoon cracked up a bit but Joury was still in her own little world

“I told I wasn’t in the mood to get out!!”

“common Joury it’s not like we planned to run into him”

As the girls kept talk in their weird positions Saif’s best friend Jara7 tugged him to keep moving and not to just stand there like a complete idiot.

“Jara7 abee ag3ad yamhum…jbalha”

“Saifo adree inik it7ibha bas ilbnaya ashkara ga3ad ta7gerek”

“Jaroo7 ihya malty ana…mu ay wa7ed yigdar eyeey wegool ‘3air hal 7achy”

“wala inik mu 9a7y…oh”

“shfeek?”

“Lulu weyahum”

“laykoon 3ajbitik”

“laa laa min 9ijik” he lied uncertain….

Jara7 well…he’s a long story…he was once in a serious relationship he believed has been the greatest Love he’s ever experienced…she was smart…beautiful…gifted and she understood him…accepted him…wasn’t critical or bossy…she was who she was…and he Loved her…hell he was the Joke in his family and friends…he was teased over how much he was in his own little world thinking about her when he was with his friends…yes he was that in-love…all he thought of was her…just thinking about her brought this smile to his face…he considered himself to be a lucky bastard to have found her and so fast…it did take effort to get her but it was worth it in his eyes…

she was everything to him…yes was… all that was taken away from him… every year on that day he’d spend it alone on his yacht…his wife died on January 3rd…leaving him behind to grief. Yes he was married to her…they were married for 4 years …she died in a car accident he believes was his fault...he survived she didn’t…neither did their un-born child…he woke up days later to find himself wifeless…it never dawned on him that this Life he’s been living...that his love would leave him and so soon.


Jara7 isolated himself for a year…then came the phase where he went out with any woman who reminded him of his beautiful wife...he dated a girl because she had similar eyes to his wife…another for having the similar smile…another was a laugh…there was one with just the color of her eyes and nose shape…yes he was that desperate to find a shred of her left in this world for him…Saif was a rock…though he was the playboy of the group Saif turned out to be the biggest comfort of them all.

This is all 3 years back….Jara7 is 28 now and has been able to live on and move on but never forget. He’s happy and grateful but he’s still lonely…that side of him he kept hidden from everyone even Saif…he felt like having those thoughts of getting married or falling in-love again is something he’ll never have.

The men sat down at the table facing Joury’s…Saif was across from her while jara7 gave them his back so he didn’t really get a good glimpse of the girls .

Their heads were down…freakin’ out on what to do…his eyes on her.

“we’re leaving…bas ibser3a” she whispered

“ok…I’ll help Lulu”

“la intay dafsha ana asa3idha””

“la intay wela ihya…Lulu weyay ana”

“fine”

“yalla”
They whispered…

Joury got up not looking at Saif…his heart skipped a beat..he slightly moved in his seat.
She hurried to Lulu’s side and helped her out…they quickly headed out…

“Jaroo7 warahum”

“Sayoof malna 5ilg ”

“goom” he bossed him as he hurried to catch Joury before she leaves…

He was on her tail…she felt him near but didn’t have the courage to look back at him.

“Joury” he called.

She could feel her spine melting and a cold shiver making its way around her…

“Joury!” the sound was so close to her ear…she froze in place…her friends surrounding her…

Blind Love 7

Joury:

My eyes were prisoners to his intensifying stare…my heart pounding…he was with another man probably his friend…he was saying something to him but kept his mad eyes on me…Saif still stood by me…watching him…knowing what’s coming isn’t going to be easy.

………………………………………
A few minutes earlier…just before his eyes landed on them.
He was out with his friend 3bdallah…he noticed a girl on a far bench on the phone…not just any girl….his sister Lulu…he lifted his eyes and there they were…
“oh Saifo…minziman 3ana”

He could feel the anger inside him increasing…not ever has he felt this way…he could see how scared Joury was…3abdalla was quiet observing his close friend…trying to figure the sudden change in mood…

3abdalla has a way of changing the mood around you…he’s charming and can easily make his way in to any ones heart…he’s most appreciated when things get rough between men…

He and his older brother work in his grandfather’s company…he worked hard to get that job and didn’t accept the easy way in…in other words he earned his position as the head of the advertising department…he’s also the youngest to ever get a rank that high.

He has no sisters …just his older brother and a younger brother whose known to be the biggest flirt in Kuwait….he’s trying to change that but he’s also benefitting from a few lines that his brother came up with ;P…

“3bdallah wad Lulu ilbait ana yaylik ba3ad ishway” he said slowly and carefully still keeping his eyes on Joury and Saif…who might not make it through the night…
“mino Lulu?!”
“illy ga3da ibroo7a bizawya”
“9waili7”
“3abood saaw illy 6alabta minik”
“inshala…9aloo7 la tinsa 3omrek malna 5ilg ma5afer”
“e9eer 5air”

3bdallah reluctantly walked away searching for this so called Lulu and taking her to 9ali7’s house…the things that went through his head as he looked around for her…

Who is she? Why was he so upset? Why does he want me to take her to his place? And why can’t the girl get there on her own? Who was the girl with Saif whom 9ali7 had the death stare with?

He walked around until he found this beautiful young lady sitting alone in the dark on a bench…the phone was to her ear.

“I’ll talk to you guys later…bye…bye!!...wella bye!” her voice was delicate with that slight feminine pitch to it…he could tell she was spoiled…or daloo3a…

He was still near her and it surprised him that she didn’t look up at him…he needs to know if this is lulu.

3bdalla knew 9ali7 had a sister but didn’t really meet her or know her name…so he didn’t really quiet link it yet..

“aaa..Lulu??”

Lulu lifted her head up towards that beautiful sound….but she was slightly taken aback…she really wasn’t expecting anyone..

“na3am?”
“9ali7 galee a5thich weyay ilbait” you can see how a girl might miss understand that sentence…
“NA3AM?!!”
“9ali7 ********* gayleee awa9lich baita”

Her heart was pounding…9ALI7?!! HER BROTHER 9ALI7?!! 9ALI7 WAS OK WITH HER GETTING IN A CAR WITH ANOTHER GUY?!!!

“and you are?”
“3abdalla flan ilflani....mishaina?”

She was reluctant…what to do? She can’t trust a stranger but he does seem to know her brother…but…oh crap…

“is 9ali7 here?”
“ee…mash’3ool..you’re?”
“his sister… 3addy an6era”
“mara7 asaweelich shay…you know what I look like and besides 9ali7 would kill me if I harmed a hair on your head..ha? mishaina?”

For a split second Lulu felt like someone punched her hard…but it’s not his fault…

She nodded…she was really confused to whether or not to trust him.

She heard his footsteps getting weaker…which meant he walked away…Crap…

“Lulu? Ha? Yala mishaina?”
“aaa…3abdalla?”

3bdalla isn’t the type of guy who’s into this whole love scenario every girl wants or the rubbish he hears about the feelings his friends have towards their girl…but hearing her say his name was weird…it moved him somehow…

“hala?”
“I kinda need your help”
He walked back to her slightly anxious to what it is that’s bothering her?
“shfeech?”
“emm..just hold my hand and guide me through this”

He was confused at first…she reached out her hand waiting for him to take it…he looked at her hand and back at her…nothing seemed to be wrong with her…she looks completely fine.

He took her hand…and as they walked out into the lighted streets he noticed that her beautiful eyes were focusing on a point not moving at all…he knew then that Lulu was blind.

He recalled what he said and felt like an ass..

“Lulu asf makan ga9dy”
“6aaf” he smiled…still staring at her
“are you staring at me?”
“maybe”
“stop*giggling*”
“inshala”

He opened the door for her and helped her in still staring at her…

However…someone on the other side kept his eyes on Lulu…this is the second time he’s seen her…the stranger….he saw 3abdallah approaching her…he saw everything…he kept his eyes on her…fearing 3bdalla might hurt her he followed them back to her house…made sure she was in and 3bdalla got back in his car.

…………………………………………………………..
9ali7 kept staring at them as he approached with every step he’s anger increases...
…………………………………………………………..
Joury:

He walked towards us…I froze in place scared shitless…I didn’t know what to do my head was a blank…magdar aragi3!!!

Saif stood in front of me blocking me from 9ali7…boy was that a mistake…his anger only seemed to get worse.

“AYA 7YWAAAAAAAN” PAOWWWWW!

Next thing I knew Saif fell to the ground and 9ali7 was standing in front of me…

“9ali7” I said shocked out of my mind
“JIDAMEE” he said angrily motion with his head…holding back his anger…

Saif got up and...fought back…9ali7 couldn’t hold it in any longer…he kept shouting foul language and kept beating the crap out of Saif…all I could do was watch…

“9ali7 stop it!!!”

Saif and 9ali7 kept hitting each other…I kept yelling for them to stop.
9ali7 kept punching Saif and kicking the life out if him…Saif fought back…he swung a few good ones but they’re both men I love I couldn’t stand watching this…I could see the blood coming out of their noses and mouths.

“stop it!!!”

Saif looked like a dead man…I was so scared…it’s the first time I see him this badly hurt…but they were killing each other…9ali7 held Saif from his shoulders as he knee punched him right in the gut…he grabbed his head and hit it hard against the wall…he let go and Saif fell hard on the ground…I kept crying insanely…

When this happens right in front of you…it’s something you can’t imagine…it’s too much to handle.

“stop it!!! 9ali7 just stop it!!!!”

I ran next to Saif…placed my hands on his bloody face..
“Saif?!” I whispered…he opened his eyes…
“are you ok?”

Next thing I felt was a hand right above my elbow pulling me up and away from Saif.

I cried never have I been this scared in my life…

“let go” I whispered
He gave me the scariest look…I swear I could’ve passed out from the sight of it alone.
“HIDHA!!!!” I heard his voice as I spun around and saw him running towards us…

“NO!”

9ali7 let go of me as he and Saif went at it again…this time Saif wasn’t holding back…neither was 9ali7.

I could hear their bones crackling…9ali7 pushed Saif against the wall…

And threatened him with his crazy eyes…my heart was pounding…

He turned to face me; walked towards me and he held my arm and pulled me violently behind him…I kept looking back at Saif to make sure he’s ok.

9ali7 looked like he had a bloody lip and nose…and a soft black eye…it was really small…that’s all…my Saif was unrecognizable…
He pushed me through his passenger door and climbed in the car and drove off…he was quiet…I kept my eyes straight ahead.

I was still shaking…this is not good…this is so not good…I’ve never seen 9ali7 this angry before.
I made sure I didn’t look his way as he sped god knows where to…he wasn’t heading home.

He started to yell at me…

Safal feeeni lain gal bas….after he sort of calmed down he started to somewhat talk…and this is what I call him “calmed”.

“maynifa3 ma3ach ilkalam?!!! Hal 7aywan mintay shayfta marathanya”
“intay mithl l7mara ray7atla bikil the8a?! 3in abo darich matist7eeen?!! Ana awareech”
“stop*crying*”
“la la masima3at 3eeday…bashoof a5rat’ha weyach”
“9ali7*crying*”
“ismy mayingal bilsanich!”

He punched his car hard…I swear I would pee on myself right now…I want my bed and my blanket on top of me right now!

“9ali7...Lulu”
“ma3alaich min Lulu”

He stopped the car on the side of an isolated wide road…my heart was beating so fast…I could hear his heavy breathing.

“what the hell were you thinking?” he asked softly
……………………………………………………

9ali7 couldn’t control his anger anymore…this isn’t anyone…this is Joury…seeing his Joury with his former friend Saif drove him to his limits.

And this is after he warned them. It wasn’t just because he was jealous…not only because his Joury was in the picture but it was partly because he felt like they were defying him…testing him…disrespecting him.

As much as his heart ached over his Joury…and as much as it hurts him to see her this scared and terrified wanting to comfort her…there was a part of him that wanted to show her what a man really is.

He wanted her to know he’s not going to tolerate her mistakes anymore.

“9ali7 please *crying*”

It’s eating him alive…why the hell did I fall for her? He kept repeating…

He stopped the car for less than 5 mints just to breathe then got it started again and headed home.

He parked the car as Joury kept crying softly.

He pulled her behind him to his room from the private entrance.

“stop it!” she fought back after she was in his room

He pushed her against the wall.
He let it all out on her…everything bothering him , every frustration all out on her…
Safal feeha again….he just hated that the one he loves is crazy over another guy…
“Why the hell are you doing this?!!!”
He lost it.
“Because I!!!” he punched the wall right next to her face. Joury shut her eyes close scared. He wanted to yell at her the words he kept for so long …I love you…but he felt like she doesn’t deserve them…

“…7asafa 3alaich Joury…matwaga3tich chithy ” she felt the burning sensation back in her chest…being a disappointment isn’t something Joury accepts easily…specially when it comes from 9ali7.
9ali7 moved away from Joury… Trying to look at the big picture…this isn’t the Joury he loved…he knows he still loves her but…why is she acting so stupid?!!

He sat down on his bed trying to calm down…making sure he has complete control of himself..
His phone rang…

3bood calling…

“aloo hala 3bdala?”
“hala feek…we9alt Lulu ilbait…int shlonik?” 3bdalla wanted to know if his friend did anything…that would be considered crazy..
“3bood akalmik ba3dain”
“ana mawjood ha?”
“matga9er 7abeeby”

He shut the phone and looked up at Joury who was still glued to the wall….slightly shaking.
9ali7’s hurtful words kept repeating in her head…not sure what’s going to happen next.

She saw him on his bed…rethinking…his gaze met hers and that alone made her shiver.

“Ta3alay bakalmich” he motioned her to sit next to him.

Her shaky legs walked towards 9ali7.
She sat herself next to him looking down at her knees…scared shitless…
“jawbeeny 3ajbich illy 9ar?”
Her head spun up to see his face shocked with the question..
“wh..what?...*turning to face her*…n..no”
“ana bafham what the hell were you thinking?!..ana shgaylich? Mu gilt matgarbeen yama?” she nodded

He kept looking at her waiting for the reason…

“9a..a..asfa”
“shfaydat asfa?! Fahmeeni shilly igna3ach?”
“a7iba” she whispered looking down at her knees...that word hurt him in way that can't be described...
“bas2lich so2al oo jawbeeni” she nodded with fear in her eyes..
“awal wa7ed kalamtee ibwagt’ha kintay it7beeena?”
“9al”he interrupted
“Jawbeeni”
“yes but”
“no buts you loved him at the time…inzain thany wa7ed?”
“what are you doing?”
“Jawbeeni”
“at the time…yes”
“illy warra?”
“yes! I cared about them at the time!”
“what makes you so sure it’s love this time?”
She really stopped to wonder…does she truly Love Saif?
“because he’s different”
“I don’t see that…ashoof wa7ed yil3ab 3alaich…unlike him I truly care about you”

For the first time Joury saw 9ali7 differently…not in the same way she’s been seeing him all her life but…it was like an eye opener…it was as if he was this complete stranger…kibar ib3ainha
how he cared about her but his attitude pushed her to the edge …

She got up and walked away from him irritated…she was upset…frustrated…Saif isn’t playing on her…why does he judge him??…why was he so over protective?!!

“why are you doing this 9ali7?!!” she turned around scared 9ali7 was right behind her…
“hal 7arakat itba6leenha… walla Joury ill mara ilyaya bitshoofeen shay mashftee”
Like today wasn’t enough for her…
“mayinfa3 ma3ach shay…wain mobilich?”

Her bag was on his bed….he moved away to get it. However Saif’s secret phone was in her back pocket.

He took out her phone and searched her contact list and her phone calls…nothing indicated it was Saif.

“shlon itkalmeena?” he strictly asked..
“ha?” she contemplated whether or not to tell him about Saif’s phone but decided not to…
“Shlon. itkalmeena?!” he asked again slowly.
“I call him from home”
He walked back to her…Joury slightly fearful from his attitude.
“…sim3nee 3adel…6al3a mako min ‘3air matgoleenee…itkalmeeni gabel latsaween ayshay Fahma?!...hal isboo3 bitnameen 3indina…”
“isboo3?!”
“lat5aleeni agool shahar”

Yes ladies and gentlemen…Joury once stayed at her uncle’s for almost a month…her parents were away on business…they usually are so she spent that time with her cousins…back then she didn’t know this side of 9ali7…

He was just 9ali7…her cousin who took good care of her and Lulu…

He moved away from her and walked towards his door…held it open for her…she found the strength to walk out.

God knows what’s going to happen now…

She called her parents and told them she’s spending the night at her uncle’s she could feel 9ali7 near her…

She felt something towards him…how he truly cared and somewhat had the right to do what he did…but she couldn’t really grasp what was happening to her at least not yet…

“I need to get my things from home”
“ana ayeebhom”
“no…I need to go…baroo7 ma3 ildriver”
“imshay weyay ana awa9lich”

She followed him…quietly…

As she got in the car he turned to look at her…

“Joury tathkreen illy giltlich eya?”
She turned to face him…worried.
“3an?”
“6af”

She really wanted to know what was making him so…tongue tied.

He parked outside her house.

“5ams degayeg”
“3asher”
“gilt 5ams”
“magdar ib 5ams degayeg!”

He motioned for her to leave.

As she got out…9ali7 watched her get in her house…he rested his head on the steering wheel…trying to understand what’s going on.

Trying to let this pain of his disappear…does he still love Joury? Is she that same Joury he fell for?

He heard his door open…she got in with her huge bag.

It’s been 12 mints…ma7as feehum kilish.

“9ali7?” she asked worried…she could see something was killing him.
“yala mishaina”

He drove her back to his house.

She walked into Lulu’s room…greeted her…and went to the bathroom.
9ali7 came into Lulu’s room saw that no one else was there and sat on the bed as Lulu’s heart started to race.

“Lulu?”
“na3am?”
“kintay tadreen 3an Joury oo Saif?”
Her head was down.
“mara7 a3a9eb bas abby jawab”
She nodded
“Lulu mat5afeen 3alaiha?...”
“embala akeed!”
“3ayal laish magilteely?”
“shlon agoolik 9ali7?! It’s not that easy”
“imyanenaty bint 3amich tadreen?!”
Lulu giggled…
“ba6lib minich 6alab”
“amerni”
“itha fakarat itshoofa itgoleenlee”
“what?!”
“Lulu…a5af 3alaiha…itha bitshoofa aw bitkalma aby 5abar”
“9a-ali7” she whined
“tadreen mafaker illa ibma9la7t’ha…imwafga?” she nodded
“5ala9 3ayal…ana mashee tamreen 3ala shay?”
“salamtik… love ya” he kissed her forehead
“mu kithry yal ‘3alya” she smiled
As he left her…

Joury was in the shower…after her shower she wore her undies and bra and walked out…
Showers unwind Joury in a way. It just relaxes her…

“hey”

Joury got dressed and grabbed a cotton swab as Lulu continued…

“you mad at him?”
“who?”
“9ali7?”
“I don’t want to talk about it”
“3ala ra7tich…emm Joury I’m really sleepy”
“me too…”

Joury slept next to Lulu as her tears fell down her cheeks…

Everything seemed to be going down hill for her…it’s been nothing but bad luck this year…
Her cousin get’s in a car accident…

She gets caught by 9ali7 about her relations with Saif.

She had to dump him TWICE!

And now 9ali7 doesn’t trust her…he’s watching her like a hawk…what could possibly get worse than that?!

She slept next to Lulu wondering what’s going to happen.
…………………………………………
5 days later….
Joury:

I’ve been following his rules…I haven’t left the house…I don’t feel like it anymore…to say that I don’t miss Saif would be a lie.

When you’re used to someone for so long it’s hard to just change that in a night…just hearing his voice was a comfort to me…he closeness alone brought me security…the way he looks at me made my day..and to say goodbye to all that…to let it all go isn’t as easy.

Not when neither one of you wants to let go.

I haven’t spoken to Saif since that day…I can’t bring myself to do it and I’m not as stupid to do the same mistake twice.

God if there was only this other world I can run to where everything I wanted could happen.

I would have Saif….9ali7 wouldn’t be as disappointed…Lulu could have her sight and optimistic side back…my parents wouldn’t travel as much…where everything around me would just be it…normal…relaxing and fun.

I barely got out of bed…I’ve never been this way before…I’ve been crying a lot and that made Lulu cry which made me feel worse so I cried even more.

I DON’T CRY! I DON’T!

I don’t know what’s with me…I just feel so out of control and overwhelmed that tears comfort me.

I haven’t seen 9ali7…I try my best to avoid him.

I dragged myself to the bathroom…washed up and all.
Went back and threw myself on the bed again.

Lulu walked in with the help of Jessie.

“is she still in bed?”
“yes Lulu”
“ohooo…Joury?...Joury?...Joury!!”
“na3am?!!”
“get up”
“I’m up”
“good”

She walked out with Jessie

“I’M IN THE LIVING ROOM WAITING!”
“OK!!!”

As I got up I saw him pass the room…he saw me and kept walking. Is he mad at me? why should

I care?!! UGH!! Because I do that’s why!

I hate this!

My cell rang and I picked up after the fourth or fifth ring.

“aloo?”
“did you get out of bed yet?”
“yes!”
“ok ok”
“shfeech im3a9ba?!”
“mafeeni shay!”
“look I’m just going to say it”
“what?!”
“we’re worried about you”
“I’m fine”
“yeah?”
“yes!”
“mhmm”
I giggled…something about my girls they’ll always find a way to cheer me up.
“Lulu galat lokom?”
“na3am na3am…alo5ot ilfa’6eela Lulu ******”
“ya 7mara laish gilteelaha?!! Chan sawaina feeha daga”
“mu waget ildagat wala inich mu 9a7ya”
“ana mu9a7ya?!! Shtabeen!?!”

I giggled they’re crazy together and they just draw a smile on my face.

“hay intay!”
*****silence****
“oh! Ana?”
“la yadee ee intay 3ala mino mita9leen bala oo ma5sreen ra9eedna 3alaih? Abee ashoofich!” hind maynoona ishwaya…matjamel itgi6ha bilwayeh….
“I’m not in the mood for an outing”
“yala 3ad 3ashana?! Please Joury latreedeena”
“guys wala I’m not in the mood for anything.”
“Joury we’re picking you and Lulu up at 7”
“Hiiiiiiiiiiind”
“no Hind no nothing you better be ready”

They hung up…god why can’t they get I’m not in the mood for anything right now!

I pulled myself across Lulu’s room to her closet where my clothes were hung.

Grabbed my skinny jeans and an oversized pullover and walked out to see Lulu.

I sat in the living room right next to her.

“you told the girls didn’t you”
“me?!! never!”
“shut up” she giggled.

God I love her…she does look out for me. but it’s just that feeling when you see someone close to you ..and you can’t help but smile no matter what you’re facing…she’s like that.

At 6:30

Lulu got up to get dressed.

We have a system where Lulu can identify which is which…on the hangers are little plastic tags…a circle tag…a square tag…a triangle tag and so on for each outfit.

As I was waiting in the living…she walked out in her dark blue juicy and came towards me.
OH CRAP!

I have to tell him don’t I?! ugh!! I really don’t want to.

“Lulu tell 9ali7 we’re going out…here call him” I gave her my phone
“He’s home….9ALI7?!!....9AAAAALI7!”
“why are calling him?!!!”
“to tell him! You just Said you want me to tell him”
“I meant by phone!”
“he’s home!!!”
“Na3am?!” I lifted my head and there he was…I looked away as Lulu spoke on my behalf.
“bin6la3 ma3 Hind oo Jinan”

I could feel him staring at me…I kept my eyes on the T.V.

“aha…wain inshala?”
“madree yimken coffee shop or something”
“ita9lay 3alayhum oo gooleelee wain bithab6”
“ok?” Lulu really has no clue about the deal more like obligation I have to 9ali7….
After asking the girls…
“we’re going to xx”
“ala weyakom…3atis3 intaw bil bait mashee?”
“we’re always home at that time”

He walked away…I still didn’t look at him.

We got in the car with the girls.

I hugged them both…hind really sucks at hugs…she stiffens somehow and she rarely hugs…however Janoon…she's a crazy hug machine.

“better get this party started”

I smiled as the pumped up the stereo…Janoon was dancing in the back holding Lulu’s arms forcing her to dance with her…Hanood was moving her head with the beat as her fingers played softly with her hair and her right arm holding onto the steering wheel.

We arrived and walked into the coffee shop…
