part 19 continuation

We ordered our food and talked for a while, without anything embarrassing or any flirting, thank God, smooth sailing.

After our salads Rawan "needed" the bathroom, yeah right, I can tell when she's lying!

"Ayee ma3aach?" I asked innocently.

"La, la 3adi, keep Ali company." Her evil smile returned, uh huuuh, okay, fine.

"Are you sure?"

"Nouf, 5aleeha, she has you all the time, it's my turn now." Uh-oh, this is what I've been dreading... or wanting? I honestly don't know.

Rawan, supposedly, went to use the bathroom and as soon as she got up, Ali faced me completely, "Nouf, bagoolich shay, mu 8ashmara, I'm dead serious."

"Umm... okay?" I replied nervously.

"Nouf, intay," he paused, "9ayra a beautiful lady." another pause.

"Hehe, umm.. thank you?"

"La2, it's not just that, you've always been 7ilwa 3indi... but I never got a chance to tell you the truth.." Uh-oh.

"Umm, Ali?"

"Bas 5alini I get this out, please, I've been waiting for a very long time."

"I know."

"What?" He looked so confused, "I thought you didn't get any of my messages from Fahad?"

"No, ummm..." Now or never, "I know because Fahad galii.. he told me everything... why you fought... oo that he never gave you a chance... oo..." I paused, not sure if I should continue.

"O shino?" His 3asaly eyes looked deep down into my eyes, I looked away.

"He said he thinks you still like me," I looked back up at him to an unreadable expression, his mouth started moving as if he was about to talk but my phone interrupted him.

We both looked at the screen: Fahad.

We went back to my house to get ready. He lives four houses down so we can leave whenever we want to.

"Hi 5alti" he greeted my mom.

"Hi yuma" I went over to give her a kiss. She was sitting on the couch watching TV, I sat next to her while F sat on the other side of her.

"Hala, shloon il jam3a ma3akum? o did you find anything in Avenues?" Both my parents are like friends to F and I; we tell them everything. We talked with her for half an hour about our day.

"A5af imsaween shay min waray?" she commented about the lady in Avenues while laughing.

"La, la uma lat5afeen"

"Walla tara zain itsawee feekum!" aw, my mom. :) "yallah, goomaw itjahizaw 7ag il laila."

"Ok, bye; yallah Fhaid goom."

We went to my room and he took out his camera, "Photoshoot time!"

"La, plz, moo il7een, albis oo atjahaz oo ba3dain." I love his photos! He's an incredible portrait photographer.

"Okay, yallah lat6awleen. Basta3mil il computer okay?"

I showered and dressed in my bathroom as quick as I can. As soon as I opened the door, the scent of strawberry shampoo I used filled my room.

"Mmmm, allah, 7ilwa il ree7a! Widee aklich." Silly F, hehehe.

"Aw, hehe, thank u, gi6lee my makeup bag plz." He took it out of my white Balenciaga bag and threw it to me.

"Ibsir3a itsaba7tay o libastay, hal kither mistansa 3ala il laila?"

"La yal 5ibil, 3ashan il photoshoot!" I said with a big smile on my face.

"3afya 3al shaa6ra."

I went to the bathroom, put on my eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss, and blush, wore my heels, and curled my hair.

"Good enough?"

"Raawrr, mino hathii il 7ilwa? Can I have yo numba?" Referring to the youtube video we saw.

"Hehehehehehe!" I blushed like crazy.

He came up to me and covered my cheek with his hand. "Did you put something on your cheeks walah i7marartay?"

"Ya 7maaar! Hehehehehe!"

"Ha? Tistansain 3ala my comments achoof?" He's having so much fun with this; for some reason he's becoming excited, shisalfa?

"Chub!"

"Ya 7abibtiii shaklich iyanin! O you know how to work that dress with your beautiful curves." Oh my God, I can feel my cheeks becoming redder and redder, doesn't he know how he affects me?! Of course he doesn't!

"Hehehhehehh! Chub Fahad, bas!"

"Hal ibtisama maku 3alaiha, hehe, yallah let's go take pictures."
