Our family was waiting for us when we arrived. I greeted everyone, and looked around to find Shaikha; I saw her hugging her mother tightly and crying.

Then I looked at my niece, who was now hugging me and crying. I laughed at how sensitive women can be and I briefly chatted with my brother before everyone went back to their cars to head home.

I drove her mom's car so that she can be with us, since Shai5a missed her so much. I watched her intently as described the shops that we went to, the malls, the bags, the shoes, everything. She explained even the tiniest details with passion.

She went on and on, and I wondered was she the same quiet person that travelled with me. She would even include me in the conversations sometimes, smiling and laughing normally. I enjoyed her presence more than ever because I felt like she was at ease.

When we got home, the females continued talking. It was about 7 o'clock but I was really tired. I decided not to go to the diwaniya that day.

I went upstairs, took a shower, locked both bedrooms, and sat in our small living room, watching TV.

The women left and soon Shai5a came, accompanied by my mother so she can show her the way to the room.

"il 7imdillah 3al salama.." I said as I smiled.

"Allah ysalmik.." She replied happily.

"Quick question, red and beige or green and pink?" I asked.

"Laish.." She replied.

"It's just a question.. answer me.." I told her.

"Hmm.. red and beige I guess.." She said hesitantly.

"Ok.. yalla 3ayal.." I replied as I led her to the bedroom, I unlocked it, and told
her to call me when she's changed.

I sat in the living room, waiting, then she called me after a long while.

I was almost sleeping by that time. I went there, plopped onto the bed, and slept after I mumbled good night.

Next morning, I woke up and found her still asleep next to me. I hugged her, and ruffled her hair. She opened her eyes lazily and smiled slightly as she rested her head on my chest.

"Good morning.." I said.



----- Shai5a


If there was anything that woke me up, it was his masculine voice. It was sleepy, rough, it was simply alluring. I hugged him closer instead of replying.

The sound of his heartbeats along with the laughter that rumbled in his chest sent butterflies in my stomach at such an early hour. I smiled and kept my eyes closed.

"Yalla shai5a goomay.." He said in his captivating voice.

I just shrugged; I was honestly too lazy. After he slept last night I took my time cleaning everything, and organizing my clothes in the closet.

"Shushu.. yalla.." He said, driving me crazy.

I really hope he didn't hear my heart beats accelerating as he said that.

I got up, embarrassed by the way I was overreacting to his simple gestures.

"Good morning.." I said as I stretched.



----- M7ammad


She was too cute, I honestly couldn't resist. I had to do something. I stared at her, thinking about the outcomes and contemplating if I want to do that now.

She got up in time, spoiling all my plans for the moment.

I used the other bathroom as she finished and we went downstairs together.

We joined my mother, and my brother Fahad and sister Mariam, for breakfast.
Random conversations were going on.

"Shai5a ma awa9eech ya murt u5ooy.. I want you to bake your famous chocolate cake for me.." said Fahad pleadingly.

"Inshallah.." she said as she laughed.

"Na3am na3am.. shno mako sh'3l .. ana murty ma ti6ba5 7ag a7ad '3eery.." I said trying to sound serious.

She blushed as she drank some orange juice, and Fahad laughed.

"5ala9 yumma.. zawjeeeeeeeeeeny... aby chocolate cake.." He screamed, as we laughed at his silliness.

"Yumma.. mino bl mazra3a il7een?" I asked.

"ma77ad.." She replied.

"Inzain.. ana w shai5a bacher binroo7.. and we are going to stay there for a couple of days.. goolay 7ag 5wany ma iyoon.." I told her.

Shai5a and Mariam were too busy talking about fashion, so I guess she didn't hear me.



----- Shai5a


After breakfast we went to my parents house, he stayed for a while then left to take care of some business.

At night, when he came to pick me up...

"M7ammad.. aby anam 3nd umy ilyoom.." I pleaded.

He seemed surprised from my request at first, and I felt guilty but I really missed her and our house.

"Laish.. feech shay?" He asked concerned.

"No.. I just miss her so much .. I want to stay with her tonight.." I replied, hoping he wouldn't get angry.

"No.. I can't sleep if you are not next to me.." He replied, and I let it go although I was kind of disappointed.

When we got to our room, he told me that we will be staying in their mazra3a for a couple of days, so I prepared my bag with all the things I need.

"Yalla did you finish?" He asked.

"Yeah.." I replied.

"Take your pjs for the night w ta3alay.." He told me.

"Laish?" I asked

"Bas.. just do it.." He said as he grabbed my pjs, stuffed them in my purse, and led me downstairs.

He dropped me off at my parents house. I honestly didn't expect him to do that. I looked at him, surprised, with a smile forming on my face in spite of me.

"A5er marra.. w be ready I'm going to pick you up tomorrow morning.. " He said as he waved good-bye.

"Thank you..." I said as I ran to the house.

And as soon as I closed the door, he sped off.

---- M7ammad

The next couple of days went by quickly, we had fun, swimming lessons, cooking together, building sand castle competitions (I always cheated but not once did I win; we would send pictures to people without mentioning whose is which, and her castle would always have the tiniest beautiful details, so it always won). We spent time watching movies, talking, and basically just relaxing.

Today is our last day here, we were packing our stuff and getting ready to leave. I finished packing since I didn't bother much and just threw everything inside the bag and closed it.

I went to help her out. She was carefully folding every single piece of clothing and separating them according to the color. I rolled my eyes as I took a seat next to her and watched.

"Tara ma ra7 n5ale9 chithee.." I told her.

"Imbala.. ma buga shay.." she replied.

"Inzain.. why don't you finish quickly so we can have one last swim before we go.."
I asked her.

"Ok, inshallah.. why don't you help?" She said.

"I will just throw everything in, I don't have the patience to fold everything.." I told her.

"La2 5ala9.. I will do it on my own then.." She said quickly.

I laughed and continued watching her fold everything neatly.

As she was folding, I noticed a red thing in a plastic bag. Just out of curiosity, I
took it out. It was a swimming suit.

"Shai5a.." I said suspiciously. "Shno hatha?"

"Um... a swimming suit.." She gulped.

"W laish tgooleen ma 3ndich 3ayal?" I asked surprised.

"Bas.." She replied.

"Bas?.." I asked.

"M7ammad.. look at the swimming suit please.. it's so small.. doesn't cover anything.. ya3ny do you seriously expect me to wear this in front of you?" She said quickly, without looking at me.

She kept folding her clothes, until she finished. I put the swimming suit in the bed with my shorts and helped her close the bag.

"Yalla..let's go swim, we still have about two hours before the boat comes.." I told her. "Go change.." I told her as I threw the red swimming suit at her.

"I am not wearing this M7ammad!" She exclaimed.

"Yes you are.." I said as I took off my shirt and threw it on the bed.

She turned around, and I left to change into my shorts.

"Laish leel7een ma badaltay!!!" I asked when I came back, and saw her sitting on the
bed, with the swimming suit in her hand.

"Ma ra7 albesa.. and I already closed my bag and I'm not opening it again.. and I
don't feel like swimming.." She replied.

"It's our last day.. you are not going to swim again in god knows how many ages.. come on.." I said.

"M7amad.. I'm not going to wear this .." She said in reply.

"You are.. walla if I don't see you changed in two minutes.. tshoofeen.." I said as I left the room, trying not laugh.

Two minutes later she came out with a towel wrapped around her and she was wearing my shirt.

"First of all .. go take off my shirt because I will wear that to the airport.. and come back quickly..and I really hope you are wearing that swimming suit so I don't have to deal with you the hard way.. " I told her as I smiled.

She went to change.. and came back, holding the towel tightly with both hands.

We went outside, and I sat on the shore and she sat beside me.

"Whenever you are ready you know.." I said as I stared ahead.

"M7ammad.." She said, in a soft voice. I almost told her to go wear my shirt, do whatever she wanted, and come back. I actually never liked my name more. But she has to let go of some of her habits, ma y9eer tisti7y minny.

"Il7een intay laish moo 3ajbich?.. Don't you like the color red.. you said that it was your favorite color.. 3ayal what's the problem?" I asked.

"It's too revealing.." She said, on the verge of crying.

"It's not.. believe me.. I've seen worse!" I said sarcastically.

"Na3am??" She said, raising her eyebrows surprised with an angry expression.

"What?.. I studied in the States.. ya3ny basically whenever you go to the beach.. or whenever it's a hot day you see naked people everywhere.." I said.

She looked away, still annoyed.

"Ok.. why are you mad now?" I asked.

She still didn't look at me.

"It's not like I was purposely looking, they just walk in front of you.." I continued.

She stood up suddenly, threw her towel and started pacing in front of me, madly.

It was too much for me to handle, just too much.

"Ya3ny shno? They just walk in front of you.. chithee.." She said as she stood in front of me, crossing her arms angrily. "And then you look at them like this, like you are looking at me right now.. and you say you were not looking?" She said crossly.

I stood up and held her hand forcefully.

"I never looked at anyone the way I look at you.." I said.

I could feel all her anger evaporating as I looked into her eyes. She looked down embarrassed after a while.

"Are you ok?" I asked concerned, she was usually really calm. It was her first outburst really.

"Yeah.. sorry.." She replied quietly.

I hugged her, and she was shivering slightly. I hugged her closer and waited for her to get back to normal.

"Are you sure you are ok?" I asked again.

"yeah.. I guess" She replied.

"Do you want to tell me anything?" I said.

"Not really.. it's just .. nothing really.." She said as she blushed.

"Aha.. I get it.. no worries yalla.. I've seen worse.." I said.

She stared at me again.

"No no .. my bad .. I haven't seen worse walla.." I replied quickly.

She laughed as we made our way to the beach.

I stared at her, unbashful, as she pretended to look in the other direction.

Her swimming suit was red, as I already mentioned. It covered the chest area, but more than half of her back was showing. Her arms were showing, and almost all her thighs too. I should be okay with it, it should be nothing, I should not be affected.. I kept repeating in my head.

"Can you stop.. please.." She said after a while.

"No.. my eyes can't have enough of you.." I replied still looking.

She looked for her towel, but I caught her in time, stopping her from getting it.

"I am your husband you know.." I told her.

"yalla m7amaaaad.." She said as she hurried towards the water, pulling me with her.

We swam for about half an hour, then she stopped complaining that her back was
starting to burn from the sun and that she felt tired.

"What?.. we usually swim for two hours and you don't complain.." I said surprised.

"I'm just tired M7ammad.. w '6ahry y3awerny" She said as she pouted.

"Come here.." I said as I carried her.

Of course she threw a fit and asked me to put her down, and so on, but I ignored her as I made my way inside.

I threw a towel on the couch.

"Yalla namay 3ala ba6nich.." I told her.

"No way.." She replied.

"Yalla.." I said.

"Noo.." She said as she moved away from me.

"Ta3alay.." I said as I carried her and put her on the couch.

"M7ammad.. walla I'm not in the mood for any of this.." She said as she squirmed
under me.

"Intay namay 3ala ba6nich.. I swear you will like it.." I told her sincerely.



----- Shai5a


Hesitantly, I did.

He started massaging my back and I literally melted in my place, on the couch, and I think I even died.

Even though he was being totally professional, I couldn't help thinking about his
touch on my bare back.

I felt more relaxed and much better afterwards.

When he finished, he kissed my back softly.

"Yalla.. go change so we don't get late.." He said.

"Thank you.." I replied with a smile.

"Anytime.. as long as you are wearing a red swimming suit.." He winked, and left to change.




----- M7ammad


We went back, to the original hotel.

We were supposed to stay one week on the private island only. But it was not as bad as I thought, so I called my sisters a week ago and told them to extend our stay, and we ended up in the island the whole time.

After checking out and finalizing everything, we headed to the airport.
We were both equally tired, so the trip back to Kuwait was uneventful, we slept, watched some movies, chatted for a while.

Finally, we are back to Kuwait.

I couldn't sleep, so I stayed awake, watching movies in bed for a while. I heard some footsteps, so I went to see what was happening.

I saw her holding her pillow closely, and looking around intently. She jumped when she saw me and muffled her scream.

"M7ammaaaaaad! you scared me!!!!!!!" She said after a while.

"What are you doing anyways?" I said as I chuckled.

"I don't know.. 3abaly kan fee 7aramy.. fa I was looking around.." She blabbed on and on.

"La7'6a la7'6a.. 3abalich fee 7aramy?" I said trying to keep a straight face.

"Ee.." She said, still looking around.

"Okaaaaaay.. w intay bl '6ab6 shno tabeen tsaween 7ag il 7aramy?" I asked

"Hmm.. I don't know.. I swear I heard sounds.. there was something opening and closing..and people were talking.." She continued.

"Okay.. come here.." I said as I led her towards my room. "Shoofay.." I said as I pointed at the TV.. "There is your thief right there.." I said as I laughed.

"Ohhhh.." She said embarrassed.

"Now what?" I said as I laughed loudly at her expression.

"Good night.." She said as she took small steps towards the door.

"You are welcome to stay you know.." I said.

"No thanks.." She said as she hurried outside.

"There can always be another thief around you know.." I replied.

"Really?" She said as she stopped abruptly.

"Yeah.." I replied, trying to sound convincing. "I suggest you stay here for the
night.." I continued.

"Bas.." She began, but the scream of the woman in TV interrupted her making her jump
and hide behind me.

"Oh my god.." she said as she grabbed my shirt.

"It's the lady on TV.. don't worry.." I said as I hugged her, trying my best to stop
myself from laughing.

"5ala9 5ala9 .. maby aroo7.. please let me stay.." She pleaded.

"Inzain.. just let me change the channel gabel ma y9eer feech shay.." I said as I laughed.

"M7ammad.. mako mukan 7agy.. you don't even have a couch.." She said quietly.

I didn't reply.

"Can you help me carry my bed from the other room?" She asked.

"No.." I replied simply.

"Fine.. I'll bring the couch in from the living room.." She said as she left.

She struggled for a while with the couch, as I stood watching her and laughing. Alone, she managed to move the couch a couple of inches only before plopping on it and declaring she was tired.

"Can you help me please.." She said after a while.

"Yalla da5el.." I replied, ignoring her question.

"Will y--" She began.

"I will take back my offer if you don't get in now.. " I warned.

"la2 5ala9 5ala9.." She said as she hurried inside.

"Pick your spot.." I told her.

"Ay spot.." She asked clueless.

"Which side of the bed do you want?" I asked, trying to push away all the thoughts
in my head.

"It doesn't matter.." She replied.

"You don't want me to choose believe me" I warned her.

"Right side.." she said automatically.

"Jump in.." I replied.

She slowly lied on her side of the bed and closed her eyes. I smiled as I went to
the other side.

She shivered slightly and covered herself with the blanket.

"Are you cold?" I asked.

"Yeah.. it's so cold here.." she replied slowly.

"Ta3alay yamy.." I told her as I pulled her next to me. "Ana adafeech.." I whispered.

She shivered again, and I laughed as I hugged her tightly and rubbed her arms and back, full of Goosebumps now.



----- Shai5a.


I shivered, but not because I was cold this time. His warm breath tickled my cheeks, it sent tiny butterflies awakening all my nerve cells and causing chaos in my system.

He hugged me closer to him, the closeness almost drugged me. I felt like he was in control. He had me right there, I was his.

"Do you really feel like sleeping?" He asked after a while, a while of pure bliss, being so close to him and feeling his heartbeats aroused feelings that I never knew
had existed in me.

"Not really.." I replied trying to focus.



----- M7ammad


"Do you want to watch a movie then?" I asked

"Madree.." she replied.

"How about we play the get to know you game now?" I asked.

"EEEEEEEEEEeee... yalla.." She said excitedly.

Reluctantly, I freed her from my hugging embrace and we sat down properly.

"Wait.. I need to find something.." She said as she looked around. "Do you have a pen or something?" She continued.

"Why do we need a pen?" I asked .

"So we can decide who asks and who answers.." She replied.

"We'll just take turns.. yalla ta3alay.." I replied, thinking of some questions.

"Ok.." She sat in front of me and smiled. "You start.." She said.

"no I'm new at this.. you start.." I replied.

"okay.. what is your life-long dream?" She asked.

"I don't have a specific dream.. too old to have one anyways.." I said.

"M7ammaaaaaaaad.. you're ruining the game.. you have to answer.." She complained.

"Fine.. My dream is to have tons of children, and that I can fill the role of the supportive loving father for them.. I always wanted to have a big family.." I rambled..

"Okay.." She smiled and blushed slightly.

"What's your dream?" I asked laughing.

"You can't use my question.." she replied.

"Ok.. just answer it while I think of another question.." I said.

"My dream was to be a doctor and save people's lives, and maybe have my own clinic.." She replied.

"Oh really?" I asked surprised.

"yeah.." I said.

"The semester will begin soon... did you get accepted in Kuwait Uni?" I asked.

" Yeah.. but I transferred to English literature studies instead.." She relied with
a slight frown.

"Why?" I asked surprised.

"My dad's decision I guess.." She replied quietly, with a sad face.

"Do you still want to study medicine?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter now.." She replied, as she looked around trying to distract herself.

"Just answer my question.." I said.

"Ya3ny if I had the opportunity .. yeah akeed.. bas 5ala9 I'm starting to accept the
fact that I won't be a doctor after all..." She replied.

"Ya3ny you're giving up on your dream.. b hal suhoola?" I asked her.

"No.. bas sometimes things just don't go the way you planned, and there is no point
in fighting back.." She replied. "Let's just change the subject.." She said.

"Fine.. your turn to ask .." I said..

"Nooo.. it's yours.." She almost screamed.

"I asked you if you were going to give up on your dream.. I asked you tons of
questions actually.. so now it's your turn.." I chuckled.

" Fine... okay okay.." She said as she started thinking. "What's your favorite place in the whole wide world?" She said enthusiastically after a couple of seconds.

"Mazra3atna.. I can't live without that place.." I told her.

"Yeah I like the place too.. its.. comforting.." She replied.

"It is.. I'll take you there sometime.. just you and me.." I said as I winked.

"It's your turn.." She said trying to change the subject as she blushed.

"Answer your question first.." I told her.

"Hmm.. I don't really have a favorite place, I love the sea though, anywhere,
anytime, I like being near the ocean.." She replied smiling.

"Okay.. let me think now.." I said as I scratched my goatee.. "How many children do
you want?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows.

"You call that a question.." she asked as she hid her face.

"Answer.. la t5arbeen il li3ba.." I replied as I laughed.

" three.." She said quickly.

"You mean three times four.." I replied laughing.

"What?!! No waaaaay.." She said with her eyes wide with disbelief.

"twelve, not more, not less.." I stated firmly.

"But.." She started.

"I think we should start.. 3ashan yamdeena.." I said, in a matter-of-fact tone.

"M7ammaaaaaaad.. good night okay.." She said as she covered herself with the blanket.

"Good night.." I said as I laughed.

I got closer and hugged her from the back.

"M7ammad.. you are on the left side.." She said as she tried to push me away.

"La2.. we're on the same side from now on honey.." I said sleepily.

"M7ammad.. go to your side.." She complained.

"This is my bed, I decide where to sleep.." I replied, yawning.

" Ok then.. I want to go to my bed.." She said stubbornly.

"If you can .. go ahead.." I said, tightening my grip on her.

"M7ammad.." She started to ramble.

I turned her, so she can face me, and pressed my lips against hers, shutting her up.

"Good night now.." I whispered as I closed my eyes.

Slowly, she backed away, shocked.

Just as she was about to run away, I pulled her back.

"Wain ray7a?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.

She stuttered, trying to form coherent words, but failing over and over again.

"Ya3ny il shay ily abee lazem a5tha broo7y?" I asked.

Again, her wide brown eyes stared at me. I was drawn into them.

Were her eyes not that appealing, I may have restrained myself. But her eyes were,
by far, the most beautiful mirrors I have ever looked into.

I saw myself in them, and I saw her soul there too. It was floating, both our souls were floating, trying to find each other.

I closed the distance between us, and our lips met for the first time. It was supposed to be a small peck, but the feel of her soft lips on mine made me want more.

I kissed her, keeping my lips lingering in their place every now and then.

I wanted to spend the night kissing her over and over again, but I had to stop.

I didn't want to push her too far, and it took all the strength in me to pull away.

I smiled as I watched her, standing there with her eyes still closed, her lips still parted.

I almost kissed her all over again, but instead I walked away after kissing her forehead.

"Good night sweetie .. " I said as I went to my bedroom.

I took a cold shower, trying to forget that she was in the next room. Just a few
steps away..



------ Shai5a


I touched my lips as I smiled in spite of myself. He just kissed me, and I actually enjoyed it.

I felt that I was really close to him for the first time.

Is it too soon, or am I really falling for him?

No way, it was just a kiss, I don't even know if he likes me.

I sighed as I entered my empty bedroom, while thinking about him, just a few steps
away from me.

I hugged the soft pillow closer and as I inhaled deeply, taking in the smell of the sea.

"M7ammad.." called a soft, distant voice.

I did not reply because I was really tired.

"M7ammad.. I can't breathe.." Said the voice in a more distinct manner.

I opened my eyes slowly, and got up quickly when I saw that I was practically crushing her body.

"Oh... sorry" I mumbled as I lied on the sand.

"Laish ma tgoom tnam da5el?" She asked after a while.

"I'm too tired.." I said grumpily. I hate sleeping in the afternoon.

"Come on, I'll help you up.." She said as she offered her hand.

I took her hand and pulled her down with me.

"Ouch!" She cried

"Will you be quiet?" I said as I hugged her.

"3awartny!" She replied.

"Sorry.. now be quiet.." I asked her again.

"I don't like sleeping in the afternoon.." She mumbled.

"Shhhh.." I said.

"The sun is annoying.." She complained.

I ignored her.

"Can you let me go?" She asked.

"What part of be quiet don't you understand?" I said, sounding angry, when in
reality, I was enjoying her rambling.

She stayed quiet and didn't move after my remark. I didn't even feel her breathing.

"Shaikha.." I called, just to make sure.

"Na3am?" She replied in an inaudible voice.

"Let's play a game.." I said thoughtfully.

"Shno?" she asked questioningly.

"It's a get to know the other person kind of game.." I said, trying to think of a good game quickly.

"Ya3ny shno.. truth or dare?" She said excitedly.

"yeah, kind of.." I said, laughing.

"Ok.. let's start then!!" She said, almost clapping her hands.

I laughed as I watched her get up and walk around trying to think of questions. She stopped and smiled a few times as new ideas popped into her heads I guess.

The sun was beginning to set, and different shades of colors were mixing in the sky, creating a splendid combination.

"Shai5a.. ta3alay gi3day shoofay il sunset.." I told her.

She came quickly and sat next to me, and I moved closer to her, enveloping her in a side-hug. To my surprise, she leaned in and put her head on my shoulders as she stared at the sky with a dreamy look on her face.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" I said after a while.

"yeah.. it is.." She whispered.

"It's almost as beautiful as you.." I continued, as I watched her lips curving to form a small smile, and her cheeks turning bright red.

I kissed her cheeks and pointed to my laps.

"Gi3day.." I told her.

Again, she surprised me by actually sitting without any complaints. I hugged her closer, and I smiled at how she seemed more comfortable with my presence these days.

We sat like that for a long while, until it was dark outside.

"I'm hungry.." I said as my stomach growled.

"I am too.." She said, not moving.

"Ya3ny shno il7een?" I said.

"Madry.." She replied simply.

"Goomaaaaaaaaay... yalla sawweely 3asha.." I said as I got up, pulling her with me.

"Inshallah, inshallah.." She said as she ran to the kitchen.



----- Shai5a


He followed me and sat on a stool, just watching.

"You know that you look hot right?" He said after a while.

I ignored him and turned around, trying to focus on the lettuce that I was cutting.

"Tadreen shno a7la shay bl dinya?" He asked seriously.

"Shno?" I said as I looked at him.

"The thought of a woman cooking..so hot.." He said as he winked.

I rolled my eyes as I continued to cut the lettuce, and moved on to the cucumbers.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he peeked.

"A salad.." I said.

"WHAT!! Nooo.. Agoolich I'm hungry!! Tgooleely salad?" He complained.

"W fee sandwiches ba3ad .." I said as I laughed.

"Itha ma shiba3t I'm going to eat you.." He threatened as he got closer.

"5alaaaaaa9.. asaweelik desert ba3ad.. bas I have to see what is in the fridge
first.." I said as I ran away.

"If you need anything, I can just call the people in charge and they will bring
it.." He said.

"Madry.. look in there and see what do we have.." I replied.

"The fridge is full.." He replied after a while, "I think you can manage to make
anything from what we have.." He continued as he took a seat.

"I'll take a look later.." I said distractedly.

"Do you need help madame?" He asked.

"Mademoiselle.." I replied involuntarily, and bit my tongue afterwards.

He mumbled something which I didn't hear and left.

I cursed myself over and over for being so stupid, and worked quickly. I finished
the salad with a side dip and the sandwiches, and washed my hands.

"M7ammad!" I called as I looked around.

He came in after a while, as I was setting the table, and helped me. We sat down in
silence, as he helped himself to some salad. I munched slowly, thinking of a way to break the ice.

I looked at him, and he was too busy thinking, with his plate left almost untouched.

"Did you not like the food?" I asked worried.

"No.. it's delicious, tislam eedich.." He replied as he ate.

"Allah ysalmik.. why don't you eat some sandwiches if you are hungry?" I said.

He kept quiet as he finished the salad on his plate and got up.

"Il 7imdillah.." He said as he disappeared into the house.

I was surprised, if there is anything that I learned about him these few days, it
was that he had a great appetite, mashallah. I felt guilty, and put some sandwiches on the plate and went to find him. He was sitting outside, absorbed in the movement of the waves in front of him.

I sat down beside him and handed him the plate. He refused to take it, claiming that
he was not hungry anymore.

I took a sandwich and brought it closer to his mouth.

"Min eedy.." I said.

He smiled a weak smile, and reached for the sandwich.

"La2.. open your mouth.." I said as I laughed.

He raised his eyebrows, and looked at me questioningly. A7isa ygool sh6ary 3aleeha.
He ate silently and I offered him another sandwich, and he ate it too.

"Tara you still have to make the dessert if that is what you are trying to run away
from.." He said as he finished the last one.

"Inzain.." I said, as I laughed and got up.

"a7la meal min a7la eed.." He said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it.

I ran to the kitchen and did my quick recipe for fried ice-cream.

"m7ammaaaaaaad..." I said as I ran outside, "yalla fried ice-cream!" I said, but I didn't find him.

I went to the kitchen, to find him already there, helping himself.

" Ta3alay thoogay il dessert mal murty.." He said.

"Mashallah 3aleeha ..she's really talented.. " I said as I tasted the dessert.

"6al3a 3alay.." He chuckled.

I ignored him, and we continued to eat from the same plate silently.

"Abeech intay twakleeny.." He said, more like demanded.

I obeyed, just as the spoon touched his lips, he screamed.

"Aaaaaaaaay.." He said as he jumped.

"Shno??" I asked scared.

"7iragteeny!!" He said as he licked his lips.

"Oh my god.. I'm so sorry walla ma knt adry!!" I said as I brought some water.

"La2.. water is not good for these kinds of burns.." He replied.

"3ayal shno?" I asked confused.

"Ta3alay.. do just as I tell you.." He said in a commanding way.

"Okay.." I replied obediently.

"Come closer.." He ordered.

I did.

"Closer.." He said again.

I did again.

"Blow on it slightly.." He said.

I did, not realizing his intentions. My face was a few inches away from his, as I blew softly, worrying about him.

"Kiss me.." He said with his eyes closed.

Hello :)

Dedicated to the anony who doesn't understand arabic, but is reading anyways..
I tried to include as much english as I can!!

---- M7ammad


"Come oooooooon!!" I shouted.

She came still fiddling with the shirt and trying to make it smaller so that it can
fit her.

"M7am..." She trailed off when she looked in my direction.

She looked down quickly, and blushed deeply. I chuckled as I got up and went to her.

"Na3am Shai..." I said imitating her.

"Nothing.. yalla lets go.." She said, still not looking up.

"Wait .." I said as I pulled her closer to me.

She was wearing my shirt with shorts that almost covered her knees. I rolled up her sleeves, and tied the sides of the shirt in a knot so that it seemed more fitting.

"I'm an expert, right" I said as I admired my work, or maybe I was eyeing her figure, I don't really know.

"Yalla.." She said, running away from me.

"Where do you want to swim, in the pool or the ocean?" I asked.

"Ocean of course!!" She said excitedly.

"Wait here so I can check out the place first" I told her.

"Why?" She replied questioningly.

"I want to check if anyone can see us from here" I said, not realizing how stupid I sounded.

"It's a private island!" She replied confused.

"Fine.. I need to check if it's safe first, Just stay here .." I said as I headed to the shore.

I felt silly, but I had to look around first. The island was small, basically a house, two huts, a pool, something that looks like a dock, and the shore. The other islands were far away, almost invisible, and the water was clear.

I went back to get her.

"Yalla.. the coast is clear" I said laughing. She rolled her eyes and tried to get past me. "No way you are going anywhere without me.." I said as I carried her on my back and ran to the water.

"M7ammaaaaad!!" She screamed as she held on tighter.

"Do you know how to swim?" I asked as we got closer to the water.

"Don't throw me.." She replied scared.

"Just answer me.. do you?" I asked again.

"I don't know.. it's been more than 3 years since I last swam.." she replied.

"Ok then.. I'm going to test your swimming skills" I said as I prepared to throw her.

"No no no no.. " She said, holding on with a strength I didn't think she had in her.

I turned her body so that she was facing me, with her still holding on to my neck.
She had her eyes closed tightly, and lips pursed in a cute way.

"Shai5a.." I said holding my laugh.

"Noooo.." She replied, burying her face in my chest.

I sat down, with her still hugging me; she involuntarily wrapped her legs around my
torso securing herself. I muffled my laugh and waited for her to realize that I'm not going to throw her.

After a while, she opened her eyes and looked around dazed.

"Did you throw me in the water?" She asked surprised.

I chuckled at her awed face.

"No I didn't.." I said as I looked at her squinting her eyes.

"Oh.." She said, as she looked at me, and almost jumped off embarrassed from the position she was in.

I laughed as I pulled her up.

"Show me your skills.." I said as we got in the water.

"What skills?" She asked confused.

"Kissing skills of course" I said, teasingly.

She looked around, wanting to run away somehow.

"Shai5a.. swim for god's sake.." I said, rolling my eyes.

She swam, quite skillfully, but she needed more practice. Her legs would go up to high sometimes, and she needed to stop to breath because she couldn't do it properly while swimming.

"I sucked, right?" She asked when she came back.

"No.. you were great .. watch me now.." I said as I plunged.



----- Shai5a


His strong muscled fought the waves with such a skill, that I felt ashamed from my swimming skills. Even when he was swimming I can see his muscles bulging with every movement.

He wasn't one of those huge, bulky guys that looked ugly; he was perfectly sculpted.
He swam around me, splashing water everywhere. He tickled my legs while he was underwater, and I laughed as I dived to annoy him too. Neither one of us was wearing the swimming goggles, so we came up quickly rubbing our eyes.

I opened my eyes and looked around, and he was still rubbing his eyes. Water droplets were leaving his hair rapidly, and falling on his manly shoulders. There was something about him, that was cute today. Maybe it was the contrast between his muscular arms and the way he was rubbing his eyes like a child that just got shampoo in them.

"There is something in my eye.." He complained as he rubbed harder.

"It's just water.. stop rubbing it, it's not good.." I said.

"No it's not water.. take a look.." He said as he came closer.

"Ma ashoof.." I said, standing on my tiptoes but still not being able to look into his eyes properly.

He glanced down at me, and chuckled as he leaned down.

"It's not funny.. just stay still.." I said as I looked into his eyes, his big black eyes.

How long I took to break the spell that they had on me is still a mystery. I was lost, so close, yet so far away in reality. With trembling fingers, I rubbed his eyes gently, causing the eyelash that was caught in there to appear.

"It's an eyelash.." I said quietly, not wanting him to move away.

"Thank god.. I thought you were lost on the way or something.. you took ages.." He said ironically. "And it's still bothering me" He complained again.

"Well, put your fingers, and take it out!" I said.

"You do it.." He said.

"A5af.." I replied.

"Just do it.. please!" He said, almost almost almost, pouting.

"Fine.." I said.

Gently, I took it out, and showed it to him.

"You're my savior!" He said as he hugged me and twirled me around.

I laughed and felt like hugging him back, but decided against it.

"Time for swimming lessons.." He said as he put me down.

"Am I that bad?" I said, pretending to look hurt.

"No, but I want you to be a professional swimmer.." He said.

"Where did you learn how to swim anyways.." I asked.

"Well, I used to go swimming in our chalet every weekend before I travelled abroad, and in the States I used to go swimming in my gym a lot, and I go diving sometimes
too.." He replied.

"You go to the gym?" I said involuntarily, and felt stupid almost directly afterwards.

"Isn't it obvious?" He said as he pointed at his chiseled abs.

"Let's swim.." I said, trying to change the subject.

"Lie on your stomach.. ya3ny float on the water" He said, and I obeyed.

He placed his hands on my stomach, and I jumped again, scared.

"What?" He asked confused.

"You scared me!" I replied.

"Shai5a.. come on.. I'm being serious.." He said, looking serious and hot in the same time, as he knit his eyebrows, trying to focus.

"Okay, okay.." I replied as I floated again, and looked at him sideways.

"Now first of all, you have to relax all your muscles and keep you back straight" He said, he ran his fingers up and down my body, and pointed at area, as he
repeated, "Relax."

How am I supposed to relax I thought to myself, while the only thing I can focus on is his touch.

"Come on Shai5a!" He urged, and I tried my best to do so. "Much better!" He said with an approving smile, that caused the butterflies in my stomach to dance around crazily.

"What's next?" I asked.

"Now show me how you move your hands?" He asked.

I moved them, as if I was swimming.

"Push with more force, and don't move them back this much, just stop here.." He said as he pointed at my waist.

I obeyed, and was rewarded with another breathtaking smile.

"Perfect.." He said, and I blushed.

"It's really hot!" I said, 3ashan arage3.

"Now your legs.." He replied, laughing.
I moved them, and he held me with one hand, while he used the other as a pointer so I would not kick so high in the air. He removed his hand, and concluded that we were almost done.

"Now one more thing, and it's the hardest thing. Show me how you breath while swimming.." He said.

"That.. I'm clueless in" I replied.

"Then we'll keep it for tomorrow.." He said as he carried me into deeper waters.

"Ma a7ib il 3amee8.." I said.

"I'm with you.." He said as he went on effortlessly.

"Stop, please.." I almost begged.

" Ok.. 5ala9.." He said as he stopped, with the water almost touching his chin.

"I can't touch the ground.. please don't leave me here.." I pleaded.

"You are going to race me back.." He replied.

"No no no.. maby" I said as I held on to him tighter.

"Ok them, I'm going to hold you while you swim shwaya.. and then we will race
together.." He said.

"No.." I refused again.

"Then I'm just going to leave you here.." He replied coolly.

"M7ammad.. " I said with tears stinging my eyes.

" I promise you I will hold you until we get to more shallow waters.. I will not let
you drown okay.." He said seriously.

I looked into his eyes and found all the reassurance I needed there. Slowly I let go
and he straightened my back, preparing me for swimming.

"Ready?" He said.

"Don't let me drown please.." I said one more time.

"You're a great swimmer, don't worry you will be fine.." He told me.

"Go.." He said, and he kept his promise by staying next to me and lifting my body
every time it started going lower.

He stopped me mid-way.

"See.. nothing happened.. you were great" He said with a smile. "Race time.." He
added.

" I need a break.." I said, breathing.

"Oh come on.. don't be lazy!!" He said.

"I'm tired!!" I said defensively.

"Fine.." He said, pretending to be bored.

"One, two, three.." I said quickly, and swam as fast as possible.

"Cheater!!" I heard him say, before diving and getting to the shore before me.

"You're too fast it's not even fair!!" I said when I got to him.

"That'll teach you not to cheat again!" He said laughing.

"I'm tired!!" I said as I laid down on the sand.

He laid down beside me, and held my hand. He moved closer to me, and placed his head on my shoulder.

"li3bay b sha3ry.." He said lazily.

I obeyed, and after a couple of minutes I glanced at his face, to see him fast asleep, with a smile across his beautiful face.

From the minute we got there, she was fidgeting around nervously. It was cute, bas 7aseet ina ra7 y9eer feeha shay soon if she didn't calm down.

"Shfeech?!" I asked her calmly.

"Nothing!!" She replied, lying.

"Fine.. inzain what do you have in mind for today?" I asked her.

"Madry!!" She said.

"I think we should just lie in bed together all day, what do you think!!" I said, expecting a more enthusiastic reaction from her this time.

"Ha.. la2 we can swim, the weather is great!!!" She replied quickly.

"Ok then.. swimming it is.." I said chuckling.

She relaxed a bit, and sat more comfortably on the coach.

"Ta3alay gi3day yamy!" I said.

"Laish?!" She said, nervous again.

"Bas murty w abeech yammy!!" I said in a matter-of-fact way.

"Bas ana mirta7a mukany!" She replied, refusing to get up.

Even though she tried to sound tough, her voice quavered, revealing how scared she was.

"5ala9 3ayal.. ana za3alt.. w don't expect me to talk to you or accompany you in any of your activities today!" I said, of course I was just pretending.

I got up and explored the beach house, and was very thankful that there we two bedrooms, so I can stay in one while she has the other.

I threw myself in bed and covered myself. I switched on the TV and watched the Olympics.

I think I slept, but was woken up by the sound of my phone, notifying me that I had a message. We were supposed to go swimming, I thought as I stretches, but I guess I'll just stay in my room waiting for her. I looked at my watch, and it has been about 3 hours since I left her. She will come sooner or later I thought as I flipped through the channels.

I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Na3am.." I replied.

"3adee ad5al?" She asked quietly.

"Shda3wa lamma agoolich shay you listen to me.." I replied, smiling to myself, before she came in.

"Tara ra7 ad5al.." She said, as she opened the door slowly and peeked in.

I didn't look in her direction, and kept flipping through the channels.

"M7ammad.." she said, as she stood beside the bed.

I kept silent.

"M7ammad.."She said again.

"Oh you're talking to me now?" I asked her, feigning surprise.

"Laish za3lan?" She said, pouting.

"Si2lay nafsich.." I said.

"Im sorry.." She said, almost in tears.

"Laish intay shsaweetay?" I asked her.

She turned around, wanting to leave, but I grabbed her hand in time.

"Ta3alay yamy I told her.." as I scooted.

She sat beside me hugging her knees and trying not to cry.

"Namay.." I told her, and she did lie beside me.

I hugged her closer, as I traced her features with my fingers, and wiped a few tears that have unwillingly escaped from her eyes.

"Why are you crying now?" I asked her.

She didn't reply, but I felt her moving closer to me.

I held on to her tighter.

"Shai5a.. moo 3ala kil shay tabcheen.. it's not good for you" I told her gently.

"I'm an emotional person, ya3ny shasawy?" She said.

I looked at her for a while,

"I like emotional people.." I told her, as I kissed her nose.

She stared at the wall, and I stared at her.

"M7ammad.." She broke the silence. "When are we going to swim?" She asked.

"After you answer this question.." I replied.

"Shno?!"

"Laish lamma gitlich gi3day yammy awwal marra you refused? And you have to say the
truth, or else ma ra7 we'll stay in bed together all day" I told her, winking.

"Bas.. chithee.." She replied with the nervous attitude again.

"Ya3ny shno.. bas stubbornness?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Eee.." She said as she laughed.

"Ya salam.." I said, as I hovered on top of her now, trapping her by placing both of my arms around her. "Mit2akda?" I asked challengingly.

"La2.." She said quickly.

"Akeeeeed?" I asked again as I lowered my body, almost crashing hers.

"Eee" She said, gulping.

"3ayal shno il sibab?" I asked, looking at her lips and then her eyes that were as wide as an owl's now.

"M7ammad.. tara walla a5af.." She said with her eyes filling up now.

"Ok.. now you're talking!" I said as plopped myself beside her again. "Laish 5ayfa?" I asked.

"Bas.. a5af.. ok.. a5af minnik.. inzain.." She said in an incoherent way.

"Shai5a.." I started seriously, but she was still dazed, trying to catch her breath or something.

I waited for her until she calmed down.

"Shai5a.. I'm your husband.. ya3ny ma y9eer t5afeen minny!! You are supposed to
depend on me to keep you safe!" I said.

She didn't reply, and stared at the ceiling.

I kissed her cheeks, demanding her attention, and I got what I wanted immediately.

"Min ilyoom w raye7.. ma t5afeen minny okay?!" I ordered her, smiling warmly.

"Ok.." She said, smiling back.

"Yalla swimming!!" I said enthusiastically.

"Yeeeeeeeees!!" She replied with equal excitement, as we both laughed.

She went to her room to change, but was back in minutes.

"M7ammad!" She said as she pouted.

"Shfeech?" I asked worried.

"I don't have anything to wear!" She told me with a frown.

"3adee.. libsay ay T-shirt w 6il3ay.." I told her.

"Bas ma a7ib.." she replied.

"Here.." I threw one of my t-shirts in her direction. "Go wear this, and it will be good!" I said.

"But.." She started.

"No buts.. just go.." I told her.

Unwillingly, she went to dress. I took out one of my shorts, wore them, and decided that it was too warm for me to put on a shirt. So I waited for her in the living room.
