----- M7ammad

"M7ammad.. 5ala9 moo lazem ta5eth ijaza.." She said after she closed the phone.

"Laish?" I asked.

"Bas.. aroo7 wiya umy il 9ib7.. I talked to her w galat ok.. w agdar aroo7 wiyak il 3a9er or with any of my cousins.." She replied.

"Ok.. kaifich.." I told her.

And for 4 days I would take her out every night, we would go to the mall, she would buy a few things, then we would watch a movie, have dinner, and then go back home.
One afternoon she told me that she wants to go with one of her cousins, and my sister Mariam will go with them too. I gave her the green light, and decided to take a nap as I waited for her to come back.

It was about 5 when they left, and when I woke up, it was 9.

Rubbing my eyes, I searched for my phone to call her. Her phone was switched off. I called my sister, her phone was switched off too. I went downstairs, literally hunting for something to eat since I was starving. Thankfully, I go there in time before they remove the dinner from the table.

After I finished, I sat with my mom and brother, w ba3dain 6ila3 ra7 il diwaniya. I waited and waited, I called her a few times but it was the same thing. The clock struck 11 and my mom went to sleep.

So I was left alone in the living room, thinking where the hell is she?

I went outside, and waited for her in the garden. I contemplated whether or not I should go to them, but then again I don't even know what mall she went to. Was I overreacting? It's almost 12, I looked at my watch angrily.

We came earlier than 12 every single night because I didn't like the kind of people that went to malls after that time, and that was when I was with her. Now they're girls, all alone, and they're still not back.

Why the hell did I agree to letting her go, I have no idea.

I paced in the driveway furiously, getting more and more impatient every second.
My watch beeped, indicating it was 12, which ticked me off. I called Shai5a and my sister one last time, before deciding to call Shai5a's mother.

I apologized and explained that shai5a is still not here, hoping that she would call her cousin or give me her number so I can at least know that she's ok.

After a couple of minutes her mom called saying that her cousin wasn't answering her phone.

I almost lost it right then if I didn't hear a car's engine really close. The car slowly approached the house, showing how hesitant the driver was.

Mariam stepped out first, and then Shai5a stuck to her. Her cousin left quickly, leaving the three of us standing alone.

I looked at my watch, 12:29. Silently I pointed to the door so they can go inside before me. They stood in the living room eyeing me nervously, but I left both of them shocked, making my way upstairs.




----- Shai5a



"He just went upstairs.. and he didn't say a word.. " I told Mariam.

"yimkin moo m3a9eb.." She said.

"Did you see his face?" I asked her irritated.

"You have a point.." She laughed.

"Waaaay.. Mariam, what am I supposed to do now??!" I freaked out.

"Madry.." She replied coolly.

"Please come upstairs with me.." I almost begged.

"yalla ok.." she agreed.

"Inzain.. please please di5lay gably.." I told her when we reached our room.

"Yalla 3ad Shai5a.." She opened the door and pushed me inside, then she ran downstairs.

I looked around, really scared, but he was not in the living room.

Slowly, I went inside the bedroom, and I saw him take his pillows and make his way to the couch.

He didn't even acknowledge my existence, not once did he look in my direction.
A lonely tear found its way to my cheek. I sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about what to do.

He'd never let me sleep if I'm mad at him. I should at least apologize, I thought to myself. I took a couple of minutes to gather up my courage, and then I sat on the couch facing him.

With his eyes still closed, he turned around, making me face his back instead of his face now.

This is not going to be easy, I rubbed my eyes, and sat on the floor next to the couch immediately.

"M7ammad.." I called, but he didn't reply.

I called him a couple of times, but he didn't reply, so I gave up.

"Ok.. don't talk to me.. but please just sleep on the bed.." I said sadly.

He ignored me again, so I went back to bed hopelessly. I knew he was not sleeping; he was too mad to be sleeping anyways. As much as his face was composed, his breathing wasn't and his muscles were tense and it showed.

I sighed as I got up to change, and closed the lights.

Of course, I couldn't sleep, I stayed for about 2 hours tossing in bed. I felt so lonely; I realized that I got used to him being close every night, hugging me, wishing me a good night softly. I just couldn't go to sleep without counting his heart beats and feeling his chest rise and fall against mine.

Walking slowly, I went next to the window, which was directly in front of the couch, and looked for the moon. It was nowhere to be found in the extreme darkness of the sky; automatically I felt even more depressed.

I sat on the floor next to his couch and hugged my knees closer to me.
"Laish moo nayma leel7een?" He asked.

"M7ammad?!" I said surprised; I thought he was asleep.

"T3alay yamy.." He said, scooting over.

I lied down beside him, but there was barely enough place for both of us to sleep on the couch. I was about to fall, but he moved me on top of him. Every single part of my body shivered when it touched his at first. Oddly, I felt comfortable. I felt safe, I felt home. My head was on his chest, and his heartbeats were more audible than ever.

I raised my head to look at him, and our eyes met. Mine started filling instantly, and his softened as he noticed my eyes brimming with tears.

"I'm sorry.." I managed to say, as I placed my head on his chest once more, eager to listen to his heartbeats that managed to calm me down once more.

"Wain kintaw?" He asked.

I explained the whole thing, how we went shopping, then we went to a dinner, then we saw a couple of friends and they practically forced us into going to a movie with them. It was about 11 when we left the movie theater, and when we went to our cars, they found that their car was not working. So we waited for a person to come and take a look at it; and take the car to the garage. After that, we took each one of them to their house and we came.

He was quiet for a couple of seconds.

"Marra thanya mako 6al3a wiya a7ad.." He said sternly.

"Inshallah.." I replied automatically not wanting him to get mad again.

He sighed and carried me to bed, and we stayed in the same position, with me on top of him, hugging him tightly.

"M7ammad.. za3lan?" I asked.

"Ee za3lan.." He said.

I pouted, thinking of a way to make it up to him. But really I didn't have to. He moved me, so I was now underneath him. He kissed me, devouring my lips first and then moving on to my neck.

He stopped there and looked at me, smiling.

"moo za3lan il7een" He stated cheekily.

I rolled my eyes, laughing at him.

That night, when he hugged me, I looked into his eyes and I saw all the love in them. I knew he was the one right then. I actually think I knew a long time ago.

"I love you.." I whispered.

"Shno?" He mumbled, really sleepy.

"Good night.." I said.

"Good night.." He replied smiling.
