part 6

Fahad looked down at his hands, annoyed and flustered. Why does this voice sound familiar? I turned around to a complete hottie. This guy was way taller than me, maybe 5'7, (i'm 5'4). He wasn't goofily tall, he was actually fit for his length. He had brown hair with lighter streaks from the sun which complemented his tan. I took a step forward, looked closer and saw the most hypnotic pair of 3asaly eyes, just like F's.

Those pairs of eyes, only one other person our age other than F has them, "ALI!? is that YOU in there?!"

"Noufa, it is YOU!" His eye traveled from up to down in way that can't be misinterpreted, "Mashallah 3alaich, kbartay, mi7lawa. Sha5barich?"

"I'm great, wow, how's everything with u, it's been a long time."

F cleared his throat from behind me. Ali nodded at F and put his hand out, "Hallah shloonik?" F hesitated at first then shook his hand. What the hell's his problem!?

Ali turned back to me, "Five years is way too long to be away from you... Kila asaal Fahad 3anich." Whaaat? Fahad never brought him up. As I said, F isn't close with his mother's side's family but he and Ali were best friends. For a while, Fahad, Ali, and I would hang out as much as we can together. We were all kids so it wasn't weird and they always included me even though I was a girl. However, after the last time we hung out together, when we were thirteen, I haven't seen him that much again. Jarabt cham mara afich il maw'6oo3 ma3a F asking him what happened but he always changes the topic as quickly as he can. I hope one day I'll know what went wrong, they were like brothers.

"Come sit down, we'll catch up." I love his voice! It's so deep. We got to the tables, salamna 3ala ahil F, then took an empty table for the three of us.

I was going to sit down when I heard, "Let me," Ali pulled out my chair for me while F rushed at the same time to do it.

"Sorry." Mumbled Ali... Awkward!

He waited until F pushed my chair in and sat down then sat next to me on my other side.

"So, how's life?" He asked, giving me an adorable smile.
