Chapter 11

Less than a minute later, I got a reply
“I’m calling you now, answer.”

" Incoming call: +965.... "


-

I looked at the number and thoughts came running through my head, I'm going to admit, I did at one point have feelings for S3oud but they have slowly with time washed away when I got with M7mad, besides it was just a crush and nothing like me & M7mad now. S3oud was a great guy too w he understood me but M7mad was different, we were meant to be… I picked up the phone with a nervous tone of voice and spoke;

"Aloo"
"Aloo! Noor! Are you okay? 9outich!?"
"I'm fine."
"From reading a lot of quotes w tweets mn bnat, I know that when a girl says she's fine, she's actually not. Wanna tell me sh9ar m3a your cousin w 7beebha?"
And so like an idiot, I got carried away and told him the entire story…
"ARE YOU SERIOUS? Hay shfee? 9ij mayst7ee.. Mskeena is your cousin okay?"
"Well, she's not that fine bs she also doesn't want to talk to me."
"Bs it's not your fault, lash y3ni? :/"
"Mdry, I don't blame her y3ny if I was in the same place, I'd get mad at myself too."
We got carried away with the time and kept talking all night till the sun even came out! S3oud updated me with his life and what really shocked me is when I asked him about his love life, y3ny if he's in love now aw shay, I knew he used to have feelings for me and I wanted to know if he still does…
"Mm okay bagoulich shay Noor bs you can't tell anyone lna the girl doesn't want anyone to know about it!"
"Mn the girl? Huh? Tell me.."
I felt my heartbeats go faster and faster why was this happening? Was I worried that someone else was in his life now?
"Okay, so there's this girl, we've met recently w t5yly I met her near the same place I first met you.. 7adha 6yba and mm we're sort of together now!"
He said those words almost on the top of his lungs, mbayin how happy he sounded and I just stayed quiet for a couple of seconds not knowing what to reply, wth are you doing Noor? Say something!
"Noor…?"
"Yea halla sorry fkrt someone came in the room, anyways mabrook! Menn el lucky girl?"
"You promise not to mention it to a soul?"
"Ee akeed, yalaa tell me!"
"Okay her name is Lulwa Al-Flany!"
I felt my heart fall to the ground, I felt like someone had just punched me in the face, I even felt worse than what I felt when Sara had gave me that look when she saw me and Abdulrahman with her eyes full of tears, worse than when I found out about baba and mama splitting up. It was like a slap on the face. Its not like me and S3oud had history or anything, and I can't possibly blame Lulu or S3oud because she doesn't know about me ever knowing S3oud, y3ny I've brought him up but never have I mentioned his name and he probably doesn't know I'm friends with her.. But I don't know what these mixed emotions were...

"Noor? Shfeech you're not answering?!"
"Mm, mafeeny.."
"Ee t3aly, I think you know the girl don't you?"
Wait, how did he know.. ?
"Umm, ee how do you know that?"
"Mdry bs I've seen her once dp you and her and I've seen you guys follow each other on twitter."
Okay, he was certainly lying now because Lulu didn't dp anything with us lately… But I decided to let it go, maybe my head was a bit too mixed up right now to think about anything. Stop worrying Noor! You've got M7mad, why would it matter who S3oud is with? Ffhh.
"Okay ana banam S3oud, yala GN."
"Okay yal 7lwa, goodnight, it was good talking to you. Take care <3"
"You too, bye"
I hung up and found several BBMS from M7mad pinging and talking to me but they just arrived to me since I was on the phone all night!

PING!!!
PING!!!
PING!!!
NOOOOOOR!
PING!!!
PING!!!
WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?
PING!!!
Uf! Mb ga3d yw9lich!

Reply 7yatei! :(

I decided that I'd reply to him once I woke back up and not open the chat, I was too tired to think of an excuse, I didn't want him to know I was on the phone with S3oud. Not because its something wrong bs he warned me not to talk to his friends but that was back then! Plus, he was only trying to help me out…
 
The next morning

I woke up to Sara & Juju's giggles and laughs, so I'm guessing she's feeling better now? I changed into leggings and a plain white top and walked downstairs to find them sitting there having breakfast.
"Goodmorning" I spoke nervously but only Juju replied back with the worst attitude "goodmorning :)" and Sara pretended I didn't even exist. We chilled shway back at the apartment and by WE, it actually meant Sara & Juju and me with my blackberry all on my own but the good side to it is that I could talk to M7mad 3la ra7ty.

Later on the day, we packed our things and called Ali so we could go back to the house and I plugged my Ipod on ignoring all the talking Sara & Juju were having about pointless things, seriously mu wgt'hm, I've got my own problems to worry about.

I don't usually listen to these kind of songs that are slow w played on 3ooud and stuff bs I felt like it, I honestly think abdulmajeed's lyrics relate to everyone w he's simply amazing, listening to his songs surely turn my mood around, y3ny every time I'm feeling bummed out about something, I immediately listen to his music w a7is ena I'm not alone.

I spent the rest of the day at home alone since all my aunties and uncles including mama were invited to a wedding and Sara w Juju took that chance to go out without inviting me of course now that I'm not included in their 'shila' anymore. I sat there, wandered around the house a couple of times and was completely bored, I had NOTHING to do and no one to talk to right now. It was 8 pm on a Friday night and I'm spending it home, how fun. A couple minutes later, Fahad walked in in his thob and 3'tra, he looked pretty handsome himself. He came and joined me by sitting next to me and asking why I wasn't out with the girls, I couldn't of course tell him the real story so I just used the excuse that I didn't feel like going to a mall or a crowded place at all.
Fahad: "Are you bored y3ny?"
"SO BORED!"
"Shrayich I help you get out of this boredom and depression misery of yours? Wanna go out?"
"Wayn? :D"
"Just get dressed, I promise its not a mall w we don't even need to go down, plus we've got the house all for ourselves till 2 am and i don't think you want to spend it here alone do you?"
"La please la! Bs are you sure you don't have plans w 6l3a with your friends? Y3ny its Friday night…"
"La I do bs I'll cancel it's fine."
"Are you sure? La 7ram e6la3 wyahm if you want to, I don't mind wallah.."
"La shd3wa, why would I ditch my amazing cousin ely she's traveling in a couple of days 3shan my friend ely dayman with me? Yala get dressed w ana babadil to something comfier."
I did as he told me too, I actually liked Fahad he was amazing and he's been so nice to me ever since I got here and he wasn't the strict type of cousin ely kl shay 3aib w mamnou3 3nda, he was chill. Even though bainy w baina 2 years, he understood me w 3gla nafsy!
I changed into my high waist black jeans from Topshop and wore this with it with a black tank top under it which didn't really show a lot, it was a bit too cut but Fahad said we were staying in the car so it didn't really matter and the weather was a bit too warm here.







As for Fahad, he wore a polo top with these pair of jeans he had, he looked good though!

We got in the car and he showed me around Qatar and the mn68a where we were at, we went to this place called Katara to get 'karak' from this place there known to have amazing karak which was chai w 7aleeb btw! You didn't really have to go down like Fahad said to lna the guy comes w takes your order, it was so crowded w so many cars were there! We decided to park our car and go down w sit to have our tea 3la ra7atna, it wasn't that crowded 3nd the place you actually sit at but it was just the parking lot that was. Fahad excused himself to go to the bathroom which was a bit far from where we were sitting so I decided to stick my face to my phone since I have to admit, I was a bit scared because many guys were gathering up and starting to sit on the seats close by and I looked like a lost puppy in the middle of nowhere.
"Noor?"
I heard someone call my name and it wasn't Fahad.. I looked up and to my surprise, it was Abdulrahman,
"Hala abdulrahman."
"Shg3da tsween hnee brou7ich hal 7aza? Are you here with Sara wla shnu?"
"Mm la i'm here with fahad Sara's cousin, i don't know if you've met him before."
"Fahad ma 3'aira? Oh."
"Oh you know him? Ee fahad bs ra7 el7amam, he should be back in no time."
"M3nata I'll excuse myself before he comes, we've had a bad history together w mabeeh yshoufny akalmich bs be careful Noor kla shabab hnee, I'll keep an eye from distance."
"Thank you mag9art wallah."
And he walked away then i caught a glimpse of Fahad heading towards me, we sat down and drank our chai and i noticed Abdulrahman kept staring at me the entire time, I didn't want Fahad to get the wrong idea so i didn't dare stare back once again but sadly Fahad noticed Abdulrahman from far and went up to have a 'talk' with him.

Between Fahad & Abdulrahman
"Chna ga3id et6ali3 bnt 5alty ely m3ay? Mb kafy 5arabt Sara, jay 3la hay b3d?"
"Shd5al Fahad, ma3rfha a9ln hay ely m3ak.."
"Ee okay bs if i see you coming near here or t6ali3ha, babi6 3younik FAHIM?!"
"Okay.."
 
Back to noors point of view
Fahad came back towards me with an angry stare on his face and I saw abdulrahman get in his car and leave with dignity.
"Fahad sh9ar?"
"La wla shay, yala lets leave?"
"Okay!"

We kept on cruising around then Fahad said he needed to pass by a friends house to get something 3l saree3 who lived in a place called westbay which was like a compound bs with beach houses and people usually go there on weekends, reminded me a lot of Kuwait.
We entered the gates with several securities who asked us to who's house we were going to "Nasser al-flany, street 19"
We got in and the street wasn't that far away from the gate and between each street there was a huge park that had swings and chairs and a huge tennis court in the middle so in the entire compound ymkin over 30 parks chee w it seemed like a great place to meet up with your friends, y3ny seemed really private. Fahad parked the car jidam a huge house that was lit up in a pretty way w told me to wait here as he went down 3l sree3 so I did as I was told. I then got a DM from someone, I opened it and it was "Abdulrahman Al-flany", I've accepted his following request earlier today thought it would be harmless but his DM creeped me out
"Noor, turn around."

I turned around and was so shocked to find his black half tinted land cruiser couple of inches away from Fahad's lexus on this empty long street, what was he thinking?!

"Get down shway I want to talk to you."
I replied: "Abdulrahman I can't, if Fahad sees you he'll kill you! Madry laysh or how you two know each other but he will,"
"I don't care, okay then I'm coming."
I read those last words then saw him get out of his car so i immediately secured the car door locks making sure it was locked and he came over near my window and knocked on the glass signaling me to open it. I slid the window half way down and looked him straight in the eye confused of what exactly he wanted.
"Halla bl 7lw, la wallah? 7sasteeni baklich y3ny, put the window down!-_-"
I slid it down all the way which caused him to lean towards my window with his head half inside the car.
"Abdulrahman shtabee?! Fahad's going to freak out if he sees you like this!"
"I don't know."
"Y3ny is there something you want to talk about wla shnu? Why did you follow us all the way till here?"
"Ya5i ma3arf, Noor I feel like I have to be close to you and around you, w a9ln I don't usually follow girls around bs ma3rf! Sa7arteni! Mt2kda enich mb sa7ra? :|"
I turned my face towards the other side trying to hide my red cheeks, why were my cheeks getting hot?!
"Fdait ely yst7oun bs."
I turned back around to look at him and realized him smiling making his dimple on his left side pop out! OMG MY WEAKNESS! HERE WE GO AGAIN.
"You have a gorgeous smile."
I said those words out loud thinking I've only said it in my head but I was a bit too loud.
"Ana ga3d a7lam or did you just really say that?"
"Bil3'l6."
"La la you meant it :$"
Before i could say anything else, I saw the front gate of Fahad's friends house press open causing a noise to pop out and so Abdulrahman ran towards his car but he wasn't fast enough, Fahad saw him and he was furious! He ran towards Abdulrahmans car and pulled open his door pulling Abdulrahman out by his shirt!
"ENT MAYNOON? T3ANID FEENY? SHFEEK MATSTI7Y LA7IGNA LAYN HNE? MU KAFY SHSWAIT WYAH SARA W EL7YN JAY TDOUR 3LA W7DA MAT3RFHA?"
"Fa-fahad, mu chee wallah fahim 3'ala6! Ana bs l7gtkom l2na you forgot your wallet back at the table 3nd karak w chapati!"
Fahad slowly let go of Abdulrahman's shirt and looked at his wallet that was in Abdulrahman's other hand extending it out to give it to Fahad in fear. Fahad sincerely apologized to 7man and mskeen, he felt bad.
"Asif wallah Abdulrahman, maknt adree, ma3rf shfeeny x_x"
"79al 5air, 3ady 3ady, yala ana ba7arik tamr b shay thany yal theeb?"
"La wallah ta3abnak ma3ay! Wallah asif again x_x"
And just like that Abdulrahman drove off, I can't believe how smooth this guy is, ma3rf how he over plans everything ahead of time. I then got another DM from him later on that night saying
"Since you're leaving a day after tomorrow, meet me in westbay park 20 tomorrow? Please lazm I see you one last time before you leave bs this time without having to sneak around and worry."
I didn't reply and decided to enjoy the moment with Fahad, we rented a movie on our way back home and spent the night watching "The Grudge". Believe it or not, i've never watched this movie! I hated horror movies and every time the lady with the long hair popped up, I'd cover my eyes with the blanket and Fahad would laugh at me. We spent the rest of the night just laughing and screaming peacefully until…

Sara & Juju decided to come home from 'their party' at around 12ish
Fahad: "Ee laysh wayid jayeen early? Shraykom tnamoun bara ba3d?"
Juju: "Shfeek y3ny we didn't take long, its only 12:30! And its a party chill"
Sara: "Besides, you seem to be enjoying your time" and she gave me that look ":)"
They both ran up to their rooms after giving me the WORST na6'ra on earth and as the movie finished, I said my goodnights to Fahad then headed to my room and my room was somewhat connected to Juju's and Sara's. Y3ny we had our own part of the house it was like a huge door and you enter fee living room then 3 rooms around it, mine, Juju's & Sara's and to my luck, Sara & Juju were both sitting waiting there when I came in the huge golden doors almost as if they were waiting for my arrival.
Sara: "We need to talk."
"Okay, come to my room and we'll talk brou7na."
Sara: "No babe whatever I say or you do, Juju stays here, besides there's nothing i need to hide from my jwaij."
"Umm okay.."
I took a seat on the couch facing Sara and Juju.
Juju: "Listen Noor, adry this won't be easy to hear but this is what we've came down too. First of all, stop sucking up to Fahad lna you don't have anyone now after what happened w that's all you to blame, w if you even think of trying to ruin my relationship m3 Fahad ana bajeech layn kuwait w awareech fahma? A9ln I've never liked you bs t7mltich 3shan Sara."
Wtf?
Me: Awalan Juju, whatever you THINK I'm trying to do and 3la goultich trying to ruin between you and fahad, I'm not so layrou7 tafkeerich. Oh and its a mutual feeling Juju, at one point i actually did think you could be handled bs 6l3t 3'ala6.
Sara: "AND my turn now, 97 ena you're my cousin and everything bs I am still hurt and shocked from what happened with Abdulrahman, and although I'm already over that a** hole, I still can't face the fact that my own family would think of doing such a thing for me, and I know that he's the one that likes you w hit on you not you did bs I think it would be for the best if we kept our friendship formal y3ny hi bye w bs, we don't need to be anything else more than that. Anyways, you can have him now lw tabeena, I'm way beyond that loser."
And before I could even reply, the other one spoke,
Juju: "Ee 97 3la goultich Saroo, after lma e7na n5ali9 mnhom elzbala ya5thoonhum ;)."

Me: "T7che 3adil! Maku zbala 3'airich."
I'm never rude to people but she crossed her line.
Juju: "Wee 6l3lich lsan? Agool ya saragit el7bayib yala min hnee."
Me: "At least asrig 7abay-IB mu alif w adour 3la banat w shabab, and i'm straight el7mdila!"
Juju: "Eklay 5arach! Yal! .."
And just before she could even continue, the room's door pushed open and I turned around to find Fahad standing there with his face SO red mbayn 3alaih ena m3a9ib, he heard everything...
