dalnoora? he forgot my name? what ? he was going to call me dalal? dalya? what the hell was happening? w shenu another phone rings with MY ringtone!

i decided not to call him. i was going to wait for him to call and explain. so i waited, and waited, and waited, and WAITED and an hour passed and he still didnt call. so i started crying. i think i cried more because of what just happened with me and mariam. i couldnt believe it. first i lost my best friend. the girl that meant the world to me. the girl that i would kill myself for and now i think im about to lose barrak. or was he never mine?

so many thoughts were piling up in my head. and then suddenly, he called.

"...." i picked up not saying anything. not because i was mad at him, but because i was crying, and i didnt want him to hear it through my voice.

"noora?" he seemed down. maybe he was scared that I FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS SECRET IDENTITY?!

"...." i still couldnt talk. everytime i wanted to breathe i'd put the phone down because he knows me well enough to know when i was crying.

"7abeebty? please answer me, i can explain everything" the way he said that, broke my heart. i felt like he was telling me the truth, like theres nothing to hide. like its just a simple explanation.

"explain" i choked on my words and couldnt say anything else. i was still crying.

"shoufai, i never told you what my ex's name was. it was dalya. alla yer7amha. so anyways, yes, i do have two lines, but that is only because the other one was under the khadama's name so that if her soon-to-be husband, talal, would find her talking to me, he wouldnt find out who i was." he seemed so sad. i cant believe i doubted him! 7abeeby! i wanted to beat myself up because of that!

"oh..." was all i managed to say.

"and when i was talking to you, that phone rang. it never rings. you dont understand, i always have it on, i dont know why. no one else besides her knew that number. and it rang. so i jumped at the fact that it rang. im sorry i almost called you dalya. but you can imagine my shock when i saw that the person calling was dalya's number" he was sad. he wasnt crying. but he was sad. "wala ya noora, i freaked out. shloun dalya's calling me? shes dead. i went to the 3aza. she is dead. so i shut the phone from you and i picked up but no one talked. they just shut the phone in face. i called back, and it was switched off. i kept calling and calling but it was switched off." he was even sadder, not crying, but very very sad.

"7abeeby khalas its okay..." i didnt know what to say.

"no theres more. dalya's number called me back and i picked up again. this time a man was on the other side of the phone. he told me he was talal, dalya's fiance, and that they just found her phone and there was a message in the draft that was meant for me the day she died. it said that she loved me not talal and that when she got back to kuwait, she wanted us to get married and she didnt care about her parents. he told me and shut the phone" now barrak was heartbroken. i know how much she meant to him. i know how much she still means to him and that he will always love her. but how do you make someone in this kind of situation feel better?

"baby..." i really did not know what to say to him.

"noora, i need to see you. come over, no ones here"

he really needed me, and i knew he wouldnt try anything while he was in such a mood. so i agreed to go to his place for a couple of hours. he met me at the jam3eya again and we headed to his house. the whole way there he was holding my hand and stroking it and randomly kissing it. but the only thing that broke my heart was when he said "baby please dont ever leave me, a7ibich, and i cannot lose someone else. you are my life. please, dont leave me" and his eyes teared up.

we got to his house and went inside and he insisted on watching friends. so he made popcorn, we sat in his room and watched friends. and he fell asleep on my lap. he was so cute, he looked like a baby sleeping peacefully on my lap.

he only slept for around 15 minutes, and when he woke up i was staring straight into his eyes. 7abeeby, hes so handsome.

"a7ibik barrak"

"you know thats the first time you ever say it to me in arabic? you know how amazing it feels to hear it? 7abeebty intai, amout feech" and he pulled me in and kissed me.

i never let him get too far with the physical stuff, and he never tried, which is something i loved about him. he knew my limits and he never tried to exceed them.

he got up to go to the bathroom and left his phone on the couch. i didnt look through it, i didnt even notice it was there until his phone rang.

"ROU7Y;** calling"

11 b

didnt know what to say? DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY? was he joking? i dont know why, but at that moment i felt like he was going to say something like: yeah fa now me and her are together w i cant talk to you anymore. madry lesh, but that thought creeped into my head.

"what do you mean you didnt know what to say?" i tried to sound as calm as i possibly could.

"ya3ne 7abeebty, i didnt know what to tell her. hal bent mu men mustawach and i dont want you talking to her anymore. shenu hatha my wife-to-be etkalem banat like this? w ana eshdaranee that she isnt doing that with every guy that wants you?!" when barrak gets mad, he doesnt scream or shout or cuss, his tone of voice changes and you can just hear the difference. so now, i knew he was mad.

"i.. i, um, i dont believe you" i really didnt. i couldnt believe that my best friend, 7abeebet gulby would do that.

"see for yourself, call her and ask her" and he shut the phone in my face.

i sat in my place, i dont even think i blinked, i was extremely shocked that he would come up with such bullshit about my best friend just to cover up for his best friend! i knew what i had to do. so i called mariam.

"NOOROO! I CAN EXPLAIN!" she screamed as soon as she picked up the phone. ha? explain what? what the hell is she talking about? laykun barrak called her and told her he told me? shit, he was right wasnt he?

"Mariam, im going to ask you once. Barrak, was what he said true?" she knew me more than anyone so she could tell that i was very angry.

"Nooro *sobs* im sorry! *sobs* i dont know how i did that! i didnt mean to *sobs*" and she was crying like a baby.

"thats all i needed to hear. as far as im concerned, you and me are no longer friends. we are merely acquaintances. as far as im concerned, you dont even exist to me. bye" and i shut the phone.

how could she? how could she do something so low? i was so disappointed. and i trusted her? i trusted her over rawan? my mother was right. you can only trust family, because in the end, they are the only ones that are going to be there for you no matter what happens.

i decided to put this aside for now and call barrak and apologize.

"Na3am?" he was obviously very mad at me as well.

"Im sorry, im sorry for doubting you and im sorry for not believing you." i couldnt think of anything else to say. i love him, i just lost my best friend, i cannot lose him too. only problem is that he didnt know i loved him. he thought we were just a couple and he loved me but i liked him.

"khalas ok" he has never been so cold to me in his life. i guess i really hurt him. it was killing me to know that i hurt him. i loved him. I LOVED BARRAK AL X! and i was going to tell him.

"Barrak.. im going to talk and i want you to just listen ok?" khalas, i was going to tell him i love him.

"ok" WE3 WE3 HE WAS SO COLD!

"i know i hurt you by telling you that i didnt believe you. but mariam was my best friend, i know her more than i know myself, well at least i thought i knew her that well." i sighed and took a deep breath "barrak, its killing me that i hurt you. i would rather stab myself 1000 times in the eye than hurt you in anyway" and he giggled. YAY I MADE HIM GIGGLE! "and barrak?"

"yes?" his voice was back to its usual tone. the tone i loved.

"i love you" its weird how i didnt even hesitate. it just came out smoothly. i guess i really did love him.

"NA3AAAM!?" he shouted with pure happiness. 7ayate he was happy!

"you heard me...." i giggled softly. fashla! i didnt want to say it again! how awkward!

"la2 la2 ba3ad mara ba3ad mara!!" 7abeebe how could i say no to him? hes so cute.

"i love you" this time it was lower because he was making it awkward for me.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! a7medo! IT7IBNY! IT7IBNY! 7ABEEBTY IT7IBNY!" he screamed towards his brother. he made me laugh so much! shenu he tells his brother?! haha.

"hehe barraky bas khalas" i was so shy and embarrassed.

"amout? amout a7sanly? wala il7ein agdar amout! NOORA AMOUT FEECH!!!!" he screamed so loudly.

"barrak are you alone now?" i was asking to make sure because he just screamed my name out loud. but it was so cute.

"e 7abeebty dont worry!" he was so happy, i could feel the smile through the phone.

*yis2elouny laih a7ibik, 7ub ma 7eba bashaar* that was my ringtone on his phone. it was ringing. how was that possible? we were on the phone!

"uh dalnoora shway wadig 3alech" and he shut the phone in my face. dalnoora? who the hell was calling him? and HE HAS 2 PHONES?!

11 a

sorry its really short, but im so tired! i'll post part b as soon as i wake up!

"Noora, khalid is married" he seemed like he knew this question was coming, but his voice was way too calm.

"like recently?" i needed to know all the details so that i would know how to tell maryoom. 7abeebty, i thought, she was going to be even more heartbroken!

"no, like 2 years ago.." he voice kind of faded, i think this is where he started to feel bad about what happened between khalid and mariam.

"2 YEARS AGO? THEN WHY THE HELL DID HE TALK TO MARIAM IN THE FIRST PLACE? SHENU SHES A GAME?!" i dont even remember half of what i said at that moment, but i was extremely pissed. what the hell? how selfish. i couldnt believe it. he was supposedly prince charming and superman that came to the rescue when we needed him. and hes been married for 2 years?!

"calm down, i can explain"

"THEN EXPLAIN BEFORE I GIVE YOUR FRIEND'S WIFE A LITTLE CALL!" of course i couldnt calm down. what a player!!

"okay, listen, calm the hell down. mariam already knows hes married" WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?

"what? no she doesnt, she told me to ask you what was up with khalid!!" i didnt understand what was going on. i was confused. none of this was making sense.

"youre too naive nooro. listen to everything i have to say and dont interrupt okay? and you can ask me anything you want when im done ok?"

"okay" i was still very very confused.

"when i called mariam the first time and she put us on conference, she refused to give me your number. but, she kept asking me about khalid and where he was. and she would even call me randomly and ask about him. but khalood told me not to tell her anything or give her any details about him, so i didnt. but then when months passed and i was going crazy because i wanted to talk to you so badly, i called her again. only this time, she managed to bribe me. she told me that if i told her why khalid stopped talking to her, she would give me your number, but i wasnt allowed to tell you that she gave it to me or she would call khalid and tell him that she knew he was married or she would call his wife."

"WHAT?" i was shocked. no, shocked would be the sugarcoated version of how i felt. i was hurt. my best friend sold me out for a guy she knew for a week? la i dont believe it.

"let me continue. so for that whole 4 months, when i always knew where you were, what you were wearing, what you were doing, who you were with, it was because mariam would message me everywhere you guys would go, what you were wearing, what you were talking about. everything. i didnt ask her to, i just kept getting messages. then the day we were in lenotre, she realized it was me and as soon as i got up and left, she sent me a message saying: we need to talk, call me at night, its urgent please. so when i got home and you and me shut the phone, i called her."

"you did what? why didnt you tell me?" i think by now i was crying, i dont know. i was so shocked. i trusted both of them.

"Noora, let me continue. fa anyways, i called her and she was crying. and theres no way im going to leave a girl to cry. so i asked her what was wrong and she kept complaining about how she thought khalid was the one and how it was love at first sight. so i tried to calm her down. when i did, she told me that i was hot and that i should leave you for her because you would never find out and all this bullshit and that she would fulfill my fantasies and stuff like that and, honestly, i didnt know what to say....."

10.

JLEEB SHYOUKH? shit! i recall hearing my father talk about drug dealers that got busted there a while back and how even police officers wouldnt go there! maybe he was exaggerating? i dont know.

"um... barrak? where the hell are you taking me?" i was shaking, i was so scared!

"haha dont be scared" was all he said! DONT BE SCARED?! SHENU DONT BE SCARED?!

"YOURE GOING TO TAKE ME TO JLEEB SHYOUKH AND RAPE ME ARENT YOU?! I KNEW YOU WERE A RAPIST!" i bursted into tears. i honestly believed that he was going to rape me and leave me to rot

he started laughing. like full-on laughing. to the extent that tears were coming out of his eyes. and he looked at me and said "7abeebty, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" he couldnt even keep his laugh in for one minute

"WHAT WHAT?! YOU THINK ITS FUNNY THAT I FOUND OUT YOUR EVIL PLAN?!" and i cried some more.

he passed the jleeb shyoukh sign and went straight. "barrak, where the hell are we going? enough. youre scaring me" i managed to hold back my tears and say that.

"were going to my house. remember i told you my parents and brothers safaraw?" he was grinning in a way that made me feel like he was teasing me. like jerry teases tom.

"but, i dont want to go to your house. please. im not like that" i think going to his house scared me more than going to jleeb shyoukh. "anyways where is your house, the end of the world!?"

"dont you trust me?"

"of course i do"

"then khalas, nothing is going to happen 7abeebty." and he held my hand and we arrived at his house.

it was beautiful. not like a house you would expect to see in kuwait. more like one you would see in malibu. it was pure white and so clean. not the white that was dusty or dirty, no it was shiny and clean! and it had huge windows and outside was his porsche, another range rover HSE, a cayenne gts, cayenne turbo, a touareg, and an escalade. so basically they had 7 cars. he took my hand and while we were walking, we went around the house and entered something attached to the house.

it was like a little apartment, it had a room, a living room, a little kitchen, and a bathroom.

"welcome to my room" he said with a huge smile.

it was cute, everything was white, like the outside of the house, and a hint of red here and there.

we sat in the living room on his white leather sofa and he brought me around 20 something movies to pick from. i dont really remember what movie i picked but we put it in and i fell asleep half way through. i woke up to his voice.

"Noora 7abeebty, you want to sleep?" he asked so softly

i just nodded, i dont think i was aware of where i was. so he picked me up and put me on his bed underneath the covers. and i suddenly woke up a few minutes later and realized where i was. i sat up and looked around me but i couldnt spot barrak. wela faj2a i feel someone pulling at me from the right and i turn and barrak was laying down next to me on the bed, underneath the covers in nothing but his scooby doo boxers.

i forgot to mention what i was wearing that day! i was wearing skinny jeans, chestnut colored uggs, and a black tanktop, black cardigan and a huge red scarf and i put on my red coat. it was very random but i wasnt the type to dress up to see a guy. if he didnt like the way i dressed, kaifa he can go for someone else.

so i looked down at myself and i was in my jeans and tanktop. ONLY. meaning he had taken my cardigan off and my uggs. i already took my coat and scarf off when i got to his house. but freaky much? so he was awake and i looked down and pulled the covers off of us to find that he had a boner. isnt that just great? how awkward can things get?

i freaked out. ya3nee, at the time i thought WE3 and i started crying. i dont know why. i was just very emotional. and i asked him to take me back. so he got dressed, we got into his car, and headed back to the jam3eya.

on our way there, he turned to me and said "im sorry, nothing happened between us if thats why you were crying, but i couldnt help what happened down there" and he pointed DOWN THERE and giggled "youre hot, im a guy, its not something i could control 7abeebty" and he kissed my hand.

"its okay, im sorry. this is just all very new to me" i told him, and i was actually happy that he explained it to me and cared about how i felt.

so we got to the jam3eya and before i got out, we were saying our goodbyes and planning what we were going to do tomorrow and he asked me something

"noora, can i kiss you?" he seemed shy but he gave me that smile that melted my heart, how could i say no to that? even though it would be my first kiss, i said yes.

he kissed me. it wasnt long, it didnt involve tongue action. no, it was a passionate kiss but not rough. and i opened the door, got out, got into my car, and headed home.

i knew that me and barrak were going to go a long way. remember? he said he wanted me to be his wife!

so the day ended and all i could think about was barrak and how hard i was falling for him. wasnt it too soon? we've only known each other for around 5 months and have only been a couple for 2 days and he ALREADY kissed me and slept in the same bed as me? what was happening to me?

but the thought that relieved me was that next year at this time, barrak was going to be my fiance. he said it himself. he was just waiting for me to graduate.

the only person i told was maryoom. for some reason, i felt that it was better not to mention this to rawan because she, being the motherly type, would probably come over to my house and put my head in the toilet.

maryoom didnt think it was too early, bil3ax, she thought he was perfect in every way and that i was lucky to have him. but she didnt seem very comfortable on the phone that night.

"maryoom babe shfeech?"

"noora, can you do me a favor?" she never asked me, she usually just told me.

"of course galbee, shfeech?" i was worried.

"well, the other day, i was going to get something for my mother from alraya and i saw khalid's car, remember the cayenne we drove?" she seemed so sad. it was breaking my heart

"yeah?"

"well, i couldnt help but wondering what i did wrong, ya3nee why did he just stop talking to me?" she seriously was breaking my heart. she found someone that was able to break her confidence, someone she put her guard down for, and he hurt her so badly.

"7abeebty guys are assholes" i didnt even know what to say, i didnt have much experience with guys before.

"noora, can you ask barrak about khalid and what happened? i just want to know what i did wrong. because its killing me thinking that i might have done something to lose someone so amazing" she started crying. maryoom never cries. especially not over something like a guy.

"of course 7abeebty, ill ask and get back to you" and with that, we shut the phone and i called barrak.

"NOORAA!!" he screamed with excitement

"BAROOROO!" that was my nickname for him. haha. and he hated it to pieces.

"we3 bas." hes such a dalou3.

"ok anyways barrak, i have to talk to you about something. are you free?" my voice was extremely serious to the point where if he would have been busy, he would have made himself free to find out what it was and thats exactly what he did.

"yeah just one minute." and he walked out of the duwaniya "hala 7abeebty, whats wrong?"

"Barrak shloon Khalid?" i asked straight out. ma a7ib when people elifoun w edouron. its like: GET TO THE POINT ALREADY BEFORE I HAVE A SEIZURE.

"Khalid, rifeeji?" he was confused and taken aback by the fact that i brought up khalid.

"Khalid, maryoom's khalid, meaning e, khalid rifeejik" i dont know why i was being so cold.

"hes good laish?" min 9eja hatha?

"can i ask you something? but you answer me honestly?" i was losing my patience.

"e" E?! HOW COLD CAN SOMEONE GET?

"What happened with khalid and maryoom? why did he stop talking to her faj2a?"

"Noora, khalid is married."

OH.MY.GOD.

YOU GUYS! OH MY GOD!! GUESS WHAT!

so i havent talked to or seen barrak for almost 7 or 8 months now okay?

and my friends decided to go to avenues today and check out topshop. so while i was driving there in my red range (THE ONE FROM BARRAK), this black range rover ( LIKE BARRAK'S) that was fully tinted (LIKE BARRAK'S) followed me! and i didnt think twice about it being barrak's car or anything like that. except when the car sped up infront of me, i noticed the plate number and it was HIS!! my heart sank in its place! IMAGINE!

yes, i still love him, a lot actually. but shit it hurt to see him! even though i didnt really see him!

so anyways, the range slowed down and opened the window, so i turned to look at my beautiful barrak, wela A GIRL WAS DRIVING THE CAR! IMAGINE!

she gave me a dirty look, laughed in my face, and drove off! we3, i didnt even end up going to avenues. it just. madry. it hurt. :(

9.

my first reaction was to shut the phone in his face. i dont know why. it was a reflex. i was freaked out. i have been talking to him for around 5 months now and i JUST found out that the guy i "think" i love is the hottest person alive. okay maybe not the hottest, but definitely in the top 10.

he messaged me saying: im leaving, get up in 5 minutes and tell them youre going to the bathroom, i just want to see you for a bit.

so i did as i was told and headed towards the "bathroom" and called barrak

"wainek?"

"im in the parking, underneath hallmark, my friend left, come to my car, its a navy porsche 911" and again, with that, he shut the phone and i made my way to his car.

how is it that hes always everywhere i am and i have never seen his car? isnt that strange? oh well, its okay, i guess hes good with sneaking around.

so i went to his car and he motioned me to get in so, like someone thats hypnotized, i followed his orders. i dont know how he does that, but i always end up doing whatever he wants.

"hala wala" he has a huge smile on his face

"hala feek" i was so shy, i kept playing with my phone.

he took the phone out of my hand and put it on his lap and held my hands in his. "Noora, a7ibich. wabeech itkuneen 7agee, like my girlfriend until you graduate, and then my wife. will you noora? be my girlfriend?"

i knew what i wanted. i didnt care at the time about what fahood, my brother, would do to me if he found out, or how disappointed my parents would be, or how different my life would me. all i wanted at the time was barrak. i wanted to know that he was mine and i was his. and, like he said, he wanted me to be his wife right? wrong. i was a poor little naive girl.

"yes, i will, but promise me you'll never lie to me" i had to make sure he wouldnt. because, back then, you know, i was still stupid and believed that nobody would ever break a promise.

"i promise ya galbee i promise i promise!" and he kissed my hands and my head. "7abeebty, you need to go back to your friends. can i see you tomorrow?"

"of course you can, i'll call you when i wake up?"

"shenu when you wake up? youre going to call me when youre on youre way home" he chuckled. hes so cute when he smiles. it brightens up my world. well, it used to.

so i went back to lenotre, but i didnt mention anything to my friends. i didnt want to take the risk of anyone around us hearing about it. so i invited them over to my house and i told them everything. they were happy for me and i was happy too. its an amazing feeling. the feeling of having someone care about you and want you.

me and barrak talked all night and we even fell asleep on the phone. i woke up at 10 to him still on the phone.the duration was 11 hours and 42 minutes.

"barrak?" i whispered because i didnt want to wake him up

"GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"shh shh good morning barraky, when did you wake up?"

"an hour ago" he was still smiling. i could feel it through the phone

"then why didnt you shut the phone?!" i was embarrassed! what if i snored?! what if i was sleep talking? FASHLA.

"because, i wanted to be the first voice you heard when you woke up" aww hes so sweet. 7abeeby i think i love him. "yala get up, shower, ghaslay, get dressed and meet me at the jam3eya" and he shut before i could argue.

so i did as i was told and went to the jam3eya. ya7leela he was already waiting for me. so i got out of my car and got into his completely tinted black range. apparently he got that one so nobody would see us. hes so thoughtful.

i got into the car and i couldnt believe my eyes. he had my grande iced caramel machiatto from starbucks and a halloum panini. i got this for breakfast every morning before school. ya7leela!

"i figured you didnt have your breakfast yet?" and he gave me the most heartwarming smile in the world.

"thank you!" and i drank my drink and ate my panini "barraky where are we going?"

"you'll see" and he left the jam3eya. only, i didnt recognize the road we were on. there were no signs, no cars, no people, nothing. until 10 minutes later, we came across a sign that said "Jleeb il shyoukh" pointing left.

8. *for identity! :*

LOVE? love me? LOVE ME?

laa, akeed he just wrote that 3ashan my parents think its a secret admirer aw shay! i mean its only been a few months that we've known each other! ya7leela hes so cute though, i cant believe i have my car!! i left the note on the car so my parents could see it and we headed to my room to talk and sleep.

we woke up around 11 to my parents laughing really loudly outside and my brother laughing but in a very uncomfortable way. so me, maryoom, and rawan walked out in our pjs and our sleepy eyes.

"whats happening?" i asked them, obviously eager to know. the events of last night completely slipped my mind and i forgot i had a car. i thought i was dreaming.

"well baba, it seems that we dont have to go look for a car for you, because your secret admirer already got you one" and he laughed so hard that he turned red.

"oh hehe, yeah baba, someone rang the doorbell last night and left the keys on the floor" this was such an awkward conversation.

"well 7abeebty, you should find out who it is and return the car. you cant accept something like this. 3eeb" mama, ya7leelha shes so cute and polite, i love her so much.

"yes mama inshala, but can i drive it until then? PLEAAAAAASE" i was their little princess, of course they wouldnt say no to me!

"okay 7abeebti, bas deerai balech!" they both said in unison.

so me maryoom and rawan got dressed in our juicy training suits and headed to giz in my lovely car until lunch time. we were listening to the cds barrak had made for me and i loved the songs! i loved it all! hes so cute.

"you guys.. i think i love him" i told the girls.

"AWWWWW!!" they both said "are you going to tell him?"

"yeah i think i am, but not until the think becomes an "i know i love him"" and i gave them my air quotes.

so we drove around until 1 and decided we'd each go home and change at meet at lenotre in marina. i dropped each of them home and called barrak on my way home

"hala bil zain!" he was happy every time i called him and i loved that i could make him feel that way.

"thank you so much wallah i love my car!" i couldnt stop thanking him. i really did love what he did and maybe i loved him too. i didnt really know what love felt like, all i knew was that he made my insides twist and turn.

"ishda3wa 7abeebti, you deserve much more. just do me a favor and dont drive so fast, i'll get rid of the guys following you"

"how do you know?" i was confused, yet again.

"i know everything" he said confidently.

so i ignored that and told him i was going out with the girls for lunch after i change and all that and we shut the phone.

i got home, took a shower, left my straight hair to dry on its own and got dressed. i wore skinny jeans with a white tank top and a maroon cardigan and my black and white channel flats with my classic channel bag and my diamond studs, of course.

i left the house in a hurry because maryoom and rawan were already there. and i got there 15 minutes later. i literally ran to lenotre and sat down panting. haha. we ordered our food and noticed this really REALLY hot guy walk passed our table about 8 times in counting. he was tanned, like beautifully tanned, a bit more than sun-kissed, and he glowed. his eyes were light grey with a hint of baby blue. i cant even explain how beautiful his eyes were. his lips were to die for. and his nose was perfectly straight. his head was shaved and his body was perfect. you could obviously see that he had the body of a model even though he was dressed in a black polo and gray training pants.

maryoom was literally drooling over him but i didnt want to give him any weyh because i thought barrak would probably be watching. so after the 8th time, the guy and his friend decided to sit at the table facing me so that the guy would have a view of me.

i got a message at the exact moment saying: where are you?

i replied, telling barrak that i was in lenotre in marina and with my friends.

the second i sent the message, the guy in front of me recieved one, and his message tone was LOUD. so i jumped up and looked at him. as soon as he realized i was looking at him he looked up and i looked away. i was embarrassed that he caught me checking him out.

i got a message a minute later from barrak saying: you look beautiful, as always.

i freaked out, even though i KNEW he was going to be there, hes always everywhere! and i started looking around but there was no point, i didnt know how he looked. so i gave up on trying.

i got another message saying: look up yal 7elwa :*

i instantly looked up to find the hot guy staring straight into my eyes and i looked down right away and sent barrak a message saying: NO! theres a guy right in front of me and you made me stare at him!
