6.

i couldn't fall asleep. i felt like there was something fishy about this "barrak al x" and i kept thinking about him and how sad his life was. maybe he really did need me in his life, just as a friend of course, just to help him get through all the drama that went on.

so just as i was about to fall asleep, i got a message from him saying : thank you so much noora, wallah you made me the happiest person in the world! yala namay stop thinking about me and sleep! goodnight 7abeebti.

7ABEEBTI? isn't that like a big word? somewhere near the i love you stage? i brushed it off thinking he probably calls everyone that, like i do. and i messaged him back saying: don't think too highly of yourself mister, and goodnight B.

and with that, i fell asleep again. however my vibrating phone woke me up at 6 am. and guess who it was? BARRAK. of course, who else is possibly that annoying?

i picked up.

"alo?" i barely whispered. first he wakes me up at 2 am and then again at 6? what is wrong with this guy, does he ever sleep?

"ya hala bil zain!" he was overexcited.

"why do you keep waking me up? is that like a favorite pastime of yours?" he was irritating me and i was regretting ever giving him weyh in the first place.

"pastime? YAL NEEEEEEEERD KAAAAAAAAAAAAAK! arent you the deyaya that sleeps early and wakes up at 6?" he giggled, AGAIN. "fa gilt i'll call you as soon as you wake up"

no, this guy is too much. is he stupid or just acting that way to piss me off?

"are you kidding me?" my voice showed that i was obviously very mad.

"haha sorry nooroo wala sorry, khalas sleep and call me when you wake up" and with that, he shut the phone.

what is it with this guy that i cant stop thinking about him or talking to him? a lot of guys have given me this kind of attention, even more, but he was the first i actually talked to.

so i went back to sleep, woke up at 9, showered, had breakfast with my brother fahood, and got ready to go to maryooms house for a day of tanning. i took kumar, picked up rawan and went straight to maryooms.

on my way there, i get a message from barrak saying: tell your driver to slow down, hes driving too fast. and how about next time, you dont leave your house in a dress that short? ;)

WHAT THE HELL? SHDARAA?! HOW DID HE KNOW? hes so scary!

i replied to the message saying: i wasnt aware that you became my keeper, but i'll keep that in mind for future reference.

remember, i still didnt know how barrak looks like or what car he drives or anything.

so we got to maryooms house and she decided she wanted to go have breakfast in johnny rockets, the one next to fanar, before we swim and tan, so we agreed and took her white G500 , since she now drove.

all three of us were in our pool clothes, meaning me in a short yellow dress and flipflops, rawan in black shorts and a white t-shirt and maryoom in a short jeans skirt (not too short of course) and a fuschia t-shirt. but it was really early, so we were sure not many people would be there.

as soon as we got to johnny rockets, like we guessed, we were the only ones there. however, i got another message from barrak saying: didnt i just tell you not to wear that dress out of the house? go home and change now.
