My 7abibi X is on a business trip for 2 days. And no doubt I miss him dearly.
But, you know what that means…..
*smiles devilishly while rubbing both hands together*
1. Sleeping diagonally on the giant bed with no need to fight over the covers.
2. Full control of the remote control.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand:
3. Using my hubby’s car.
YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaYY !!!!
.
.
So I wake up this morning late- due to watching episode after episode of Gery’s 3la kaif kaifi. Fully rested after a good night’s sleep. And as I strech my arms, an image of X’s car waiting for me pops into my head. So I spring out of bed, killy 7amas o in6ilaaq, wash up and change to go have breakfast @ my mother’s house.
Ya SaaLaaaaaaMmm,
I’m driving in his car, music is playing, wl donya rabee3 wl jaw badee3. I bend to get my mobile out of my bag when FAJ2ATAN..
6AAAAAAKH BOOOOOM <– ya3ni a sound of a big thud!!
Elraseef just magically moved o da3amny!!
My heart almost flew off its ribcage as I slowly get out of the car, praying all the while that PLEASE GOD LET NOTHING HAPPEN TO THE CAR…
6ala3 the metal thingy in the middle of the tire got hit bad and as a result it got some nasty few scars o sar shwaya crooked somehow :-/
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA33 :”(
I get in the car, my stomach all twisted with guilt, and drive off when suddenly- just like in a cartoon movie .. POOF.. A little Glitter fairy in loose white robe and a halo over her head suddenly materializes infront of me. Yup that’s mini me, the miss goody two-shoes Glitter. She’s wagging her little finger at me and telling me to call X and fess up to what I did. Even if he was upset a little I should be brave and take it like an adult.
I was nodding my head in agreement when all of a sudden, red Glitter fairy swooshes and stabs white Glitter fairy into oblivion with her demonic stick.
“Now don’t listen to her“, says red Glitter referring to white Glitter.
“Why call and upset him over a silly thing like a bent metal tire thingy when he’s miles away. Let it be. Aslun he may not even notice it“
Hmmmm, madri..
The little devil continues: “B3dain what’s his is yours now no need to feel all sad and guilty“.
Ee sa7, that’s true but..
“No buts, just shut up o lamma yerja3 yeseer khair“
Wallah that makes perfect sense..
offfffffffffff, now what?
To say, or not to say??
Chinnah NOT to say- atleast for now :-/

Actually it was not a dare but a challenge. Majid Al-Maliki said he could break the record set by American Dean Sheldon who held 21 live scorpions in his mouth for 10 seconds. This guy ate 22.
What is the most daring thing you have ever done?

” 3amety laish entaw matro7oon o ana age6 jana el bait ba3dain” Terki suggested.
She ignored him and looked at my dad. “Sure, you’re her husband now” my dad said. God I love my dad!
After many failed attempts from terki’s mother to make them stay longer, my family left with Farah’s parents.
” esh7alatech elyoum” terki whispered into my ears.
“Thanks baby, enta ba3ad” I blushed.
” janoon,terki 3a6ooni pose 7elo” farah raised her pro camera.
” wait! ana agolokom shetsawoon” she said excitedly ” terki put your arms around jana, jana boseeeh esh7alata elyoum!” she clamped her hand over her mouth ” sorry, um just..ignore me!”
Terki’s face turned to different shades of red; he wrapped his arm around me awkwardly. I couldn’t help laughing.
She took so many pictures of us with different embarrassing poses, terki wanted to kill himself min el fashla. ” farah laish mat9awreen khalood o Fay?” he said.
” la malaina menhom 9araw qeddam hehe, entaw a7la, etshawgoon 7adkom newlyweds!”
” ana baroo7 el dewaneya, tamroony ebshay?” saud said while looking at me.
” salamtek bu 3bdul3zeez” both terki and Khalid muttered.
Farah excused herself shortly after that, she kissed me goodbye and whispered “boseeh!” into my ears.
Then while Khalid and Fay were caught up in their sowalef, terki and I quietly made our exit, and walked through the moonlit garden together, just savoring the moment.
I said nothing as he led me down across the garden, beside the pool and into the beach.
He sat on a wooden bench and I laid my head on his lap, I looked up at him, still marveling that he was there, let alone engaged to me.
” I never asked you, min wain yayeb hal 3yoon el 7elwa? Ma7ad min e5wanik nafs your eyes, 7atta your parents” I said.
He stroked my hair ” 6ale3 3ala yadety om oboy, kel 3amamy nafsy chethy 3yonhom tgoleb hehe o semer 7adda weird combination”
” BEAUTIFUL combination” I smiled.
He kissed my nose. ” bagolich shay bas latz3leen” he said.
“What?!” I panicked.
He laughed ” shfeech 5ayfaa?”
I shrugged. Then he got a more serious look on his face ” I think you’re getting a bit thin, when I met you , you were very sexy, curves and all , now you’re skin and bones and im worried”
I sat up and wrapped my arms around him ” im perfectly fine, you don’t need to worry”
He didn’t say a word, he gazed at me for a while, and then his beautiful mouth spoke “lets get married as soon as possible, I don’t want to spend any minute away from you”
” in a month enshallah, I’ll be completely yours”
“enshallah” he said.
” I’ll say it again, el a7mar yet7acha 3alaich, you were stunning tonight , I didn’t know how I held myself, but you’re not mine, I promise I wont bother you ever again, im happy for you, your smile teswa el denia 3endy.a7ibich jana. Abeech tensain kel ely getlech eyah, I don’t want my brother to get hurt, he deserves you.
I sighed, at least he accepted the fact that im his brother’s fiancé. I turned off the lights and slept with my dress and heels on. She was waiting outside the fitting room while I tried a few gowns that were so beautiful but not on me. “farah im so frustrated! Kel ely gayast’hom mu shay 3ley! Bas two left lel7en I didn’t try them o 7ady 5ayfa!” ” try them on, etha ma3jeboch enro7 somewhere else 3ady!” she suggested. ” okay” I agreed. ” I think I found the one..” my lips trembled. I opened the door of the changing room and I could see from the tears in her eyes that she loved it too. ” you look.. simply amazing!” she brushed her tear with her left hand. “Twirl! Let me see!” I did a quick twirl for her ” eyanin 9a7? So simple yet so gorgeous! Terki will love it!” After we finished our shopping Farah went back home with me, we had a Chinese dinner with my mom and then we headed upstairs to my room. ” janoon gimme your phone, badezly elpix maloot elyoum!” she said. “sure e5theh min jan6ety” I said and headed to the bathroom. When I finished my business I headed back to my room again. I was applying my moisturizers when she approached me with a very disgusted expression on her face. “sheno hatha?” she shoved my phone on my face. ” s3ood shako dazlich message, mu message ba3ad MESSAGES, laish?? S3ood loves you??? You told him about my feelings for him?!!! and you’re still with his brother?!!! I wonder what terki will say when he sees this! “She snapped. ” meno sema7lech o galech tba6len my messages?!!!” my heart pounded so hard , I didn’t know how to defend myself. ” you think kent aby ashoof hal mas5ara ely ga3da et9eer?!!! Allah ekshefech o it was opened bel ’3ala6!! Jana, how could you?!! He loves you so fucking much 7aram 3alaich!!!” ” HOW COULD I WHAT?!!! I love him to death too entay tadreen!!! Bas shasawy if his brother is in love with me!!” tears were rolling down my cheek. ” then leave him, tabeen etfargenhom? Uhma e5wan jana, they love eachother, tabeen etfargenhom 3la shay tafeh?!” “shay tafeh?!” I chuckled between tears ” I cant leave him!! farah he’s my husband NOT my boyfriend!! I’ll marry him in two weeks!” ” I know that you love him, bas shloun sema7tay 7ag nafsich ena you meet him, jana what if Terki found out!! “
” I wont, I would never do such thing to you, but you have to leave him, you cant start a relationship that is based on lies jana, you just cant” ” is this some jealousy thing farah?!!, because Saud loves ME not YOU, IS IT?!” Her face looked shocked for a second ” you’re… you know what jana? I have to go, enjoy your lies” And that was the last time I saw Farah as my best friend.
When terki dropped me home at 3 am, I received a message from Saud.
——————————————————-
The next couple of weeks were hectic, I was getting married in a month and that was like pulling the impossible, so we decided to make a simple ceremony. Farah was a star, she helped me with all the arrangements, especially with the shopping; it was really tiring but really fun!
“sheno sheno?!” I stared at her blankly.

“Friendly, outgoing, charming, whatever you want to call it, it still translates into ‘available and desparate’ when you’re the one who initiates contact.”
“You wait for him to make the first move….., then you reward him with a smile and some smoldering eyes. And then you turn away from him.”
“If you do your job well, it will make him want you more. It’s all about finding the balance of mysterious and unavailable and challenging with sensual and seductive and sexy. Make him work for it, and he’ll love you forever.”
“Give a little, and then ignore. Flirt, then withhold. He’ll go crazy trying to pin you down.”

Aliyah laughed and said”it means take care of urself”
Mohd laughed” waalah i love the way u talk” and he winked..
he winked at her..it was as if they were in a movie she thought..
Aliyah walked back to the dorms with a huge smile on her face…she immedielty went to her best friend’s room and saw that all the girls were there lounging around..
They wanted details..
They knew about Aliyah and the mysterious Kuwaiti guy and their early morning dates..
Lets first introduce the girls of Aliyah’s gang:
1.Norah – her q8i friend..she was the loudest of the group..blonde hair and all..
2. Rana – her B7raini best friend..the quiet one of the bunch but the smartest..
3.Reem – her Qatari friend who was one of the sweetest ppl she met in Uni..

Aliyah laughed..typical Norah..
Aliyah” we talked eshwaii oo galii ybenee ayelaa at 12″
Reem” oh my god..u have a date”
Rana” its not a date..did u guys exchange numbers”
Aliyah”no..not yet..i dont know why its taking him so long..”
the girls chatted non-stop about Aliyah’s encounters and analyzed it by details..Typical Girls ha..
12PM:
Mohd looked at his watch..where was Aliyah..he didnt know what to do..he was the shy guy..he wanted to ask for her number but he thought it was too soon..He didnt want her to take the wrong idea of him..
He really liked her and he enjoyed his morning class so much becasue of their morning chats..
He tried to get back to work on his assignment..
Aliyah looked around in the building..She saw Mohd hunched over his desk drawing..She loved the way he looked..
He was attractive..
She went up to him…and waited for him to acknowledge her..
He didnt look up until a few seconds later ..suprised that she was there..
” Men meta entya ehnayyy”
Aliyah” twnee yeet bs ma kent abey i bother u shklik cute o ent 7dmik mndmj” and she laughed..
Mohd’s heart skipped a few beats..every time she spoked.
They sat next to each other..really close..just talking..he needed a break from his work..she could smell his perfume..it was amazing..she didnt know what it was..but it made her pulse race..
He looked at her with such admiration which made Aliyah blush..
He said: eshryich we go to a movie bl weekend..
Aliyah didnt know what to say and this made Mohd squirm in his place..
He continued” etha ur busy its ok..and he kept ramblinig on..
Aliyah cut him short” i’d love too”
Mohd smiled..why was he shy all of a sudden …usually he flirts with her.this time he was stuck..He lightly touched her hand by accident..and and electriclty ran threw Aliyah’s body..
This was new ..all new to her she thought…
Mohd wanted to hold her hand.but decided it was better not to..
