Dedicating this post to @ourkuwaitilife for being the sweetest person ever!
"SHNUU GALCH?" Deema gasped, two girls from my class turned around to see what we were talking about.
"ee takhayilay khalatny ib 360 ibrou7y!" I said trying to ragi3ha.
It's been a week I haven't talked to him or anyone else about this because I was so wrapped up in exam week. I just finished my last exam and I was waiting for my driver to pick me up.
"inzain if you don't feel the same you have to tell him" Deema said
I stayed quiet.
"You like him" Deema said
"ee akeed I like him, what's not to like? Have you seen him?" I said
"Yasmeen but you don't love him?" Deema said
"Actually I don't know what to feel anymore Deema barou7 my driver ya, ta3alay wa9leeny" I said, I don't know what to feel or how to react.
"Yasmeen, whenever you need to talk I'm here" She said, A7b hal bent min kil galbee
"thank youuuu lovee" I said while wrapping my left arm around her.
"walaw, etha I'm not here for you 3ayal 7ag mnu?" She said, cute.
We arrived at my car, "awa9lch dayoum?" I asked deema
"agid 3ala my driver achouf waina" She said
"ashouf" I corrected her teasingly
"whatever" She said while clicking numbers on her phone.
"aloo, hala 3abas.. wainik?..ulaa, laish lail7een ma 6ela3t?... Adree gilt 12:30 bes al7een 12:25 nawee to9al il 5 mins ya3ne?... 5ala9 latyee.. ana yirja3 ma3a my friend.. yasmeen, tell mama.. bye" I heard her say, she was furious.
"3abas esalem 3alaich" She said, I laughed to myself. She's so cute when she's mad
"bamer bait yadity awal ahaly imsafreenha 3ashan she gets her mind off things" I told deema
I told my driver to go to my grandmother's. Me and Deema talked, it's been so long since we've been together alone. I miss that, I missed how we were. I miss how we used to be just me, her and Fajer in the old days. Wi9alna bait yadity.
wana o deema dasheen through 7oush bait yadetee I saw Bader, god I am so not ready to talk to him yet.
He looked at me and smiled and I thought to myself how genuine his smile was. In that moment I realized that I loved him but I'm not ready to tell him, not yet.
"bakalmich ba3dain, an6erich ehnee. Hala deema shlonich? salmay 3ala ekhwanech" Bader said and I gazed at him. He got me by the way he is. I nodded.
"7amdellah zaina, enshallah" Deema said
I smiled at him, looked down and walked inside. I walked into my grandmother's 9ala wela she was looking at an old picture of her teens with my grandfather. When she saw us she wiped a tear from under her eye and put the photo away. I really knew how she was feeling.
My grandparents had like a "the notebook" fairy tale. They're always talk about how much they loved each other. I sat with her and she talked about London and she gave me things she bought for me, I lost track of time until I realized that we spent an hour. I totally forgot about Bader.
We said our goodbyes and We went outside.
Bader was still waiting for me, how cute is that?
"ban6irich bil sayara" Deema said, giving me a wink when Bader wasn't looking.
"you look really pretty" Bader said, I know I look like crap.
"I look ungly towne yayah min il madrisa" I said
"you never look ugly. Jamaal il koun killah ma you9al mowa9eelich" He said
"Thank you" I said and looked down.
"la tiste7een miny" He said, I was still looking down.
"shloun ur exams?" He asked
"7adaa zaaainn! yimkin ayeeb bil 100" I said
"chathaba, ya3nee zafatay?" He said, he knows me too well.
"pretty much, I need to go" I said
"no goodbye hug?" He asked with a puppy face
"la'" I said
"shda3wa?" He said with a puppy face.
"ok" I said as I hugged him and he hugged me tighter
"7atan lu mat7ibeeny 3ady, I'll understand" He said still hugging me and he kissed my forehead. wow that was deep.
"mnu gal ma a7bk?" I said surprised by him and backed away.
"yanee et7ibeeny?" He said ya3nee bi9eed il 7araka
"laman i'm ready bagoulik" I said
"already gilteely" He said with a grin.
"chub" I said and walked towards the door
He walked with me until the car and said "you really are pretty and any guy that doesn't see it must be blind"
I smiled walked to the car, happiness just hit me like a train on a track. He always makes my day with his sweet words and the way he is. I spent the rest of my day at Deema's and we went out to the Avenues.A great day to start winter break.
Finally happy for now.
