I banged on the bathroom door.

"Haa?" Rawan replied, "Shfeech?"

"Yalla, let's get ready, lazim inkoon ib Sliders in half an hour!"

"Sliders za7ma bikoon, we want somewhere we can talk!"

"What do you suggest?"

"Tadreen shino? 7adi mishtahya Lenotre!"

"Okay, sure. Lemme call Ali."

"Ali who?"

"Fahad's cousin."

"What?" Thank God she can't see my face right now, I was blushing so hard.

"Long story."

"Call him then tell me then."

"Okay."

I went back to the room and called A and told him about the change in plans. Now, I have to get ready, shalbis? I just stared at my closet im9a6la... wai3 ma7ib chithii laman I don't know what to wear.... I felt like wearing a white dress, I love white dresses. I have this Temperly one that I saw Mischa Barton wear once, I decided to wear that with my favorite Chanel flats and Chanel bag. My hair, wavy, as it is, let down.


"Ooh, by the way Nouf, I love that dress!" Rawan commented as she came in, "I need something to wear please." I forgot that her things weren't with her.

"Choose one."

"Okay yallah tell me about Ali? Who is he?" She said while looking to my closet.

"You know him! Shloon nisaitee? He's Fahad's cousin, ilee kan close ma3a min laman kanaw i9'3aar."

"Ahh, 3araftaa! Ya7lailaaa shloona?"

"He's good." I replied.

"Umm... that's it? No details?" She asked still facing my closet.

"La2, ako details."

"Okay...." She put a navy dress on and took a pair of Chanel heels.

"Um, Rawan?"

"Uh-oh, I sense trouble!" She sat next to me, "Sh9aar?" And so I told her the whole thing.

"Please don't make a big deal, he doesn't know I know!" I freaked.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Ayshay!"

"I know."

"So now shino bitsaween? I thought you liked Fahad? You said he's waiting for you until after college!"

"I don't know what to do. I love Fahad, I really really do. Bas as Fahad said, he didn't give Ali a chance. Plus it's not like I'm doing anything wrong! We're all just friends for right now. Same with Ali and me... See I'm still the same Nouf, I didn't change!"

"I get it bas you can't send them mixed messages!"

"What mixed messages? Ana oo intay oo Ali 6al3een for lunch, did we say it's a date? No. He doesn't even know F told me about him."

"Okay, okay, you have a point."

"Yallah we're going to be late." I said as I got up and went to my table.

"Okay." She grabbed a purse and I put on a bunch of necklaces.

"This is going to be a very entertaining lunch." She commented on our way out of the house.

"Shut up." I muttered which made her laugh.
