Saba & Fawaz: 3

We all laughed at Murooj, but something in me wasn't comfortable by how happy she had gotten when she heard that Fawaz was here, I stared at her face to examine it and see if she would give off any hints about her feelings towards Fawaz. His name left our conversation as easily as it came in. The girls may have forgotten about Fawaz but one thing was for sure, my heart sure hadn't.

After that moment my life changed, drastically.


"wake up! wake up! wake up!" Ghalia screamed in my ear.

Saba: Ghalouy! shda3wa chthy y9arkhoun mat3arfeen etgawmeen elwa7ed mn elnoum ela bl9rakh?!

Ghalia: o fough hatha lail7en tredeen tnameen!

Saba: shaku mara7 arid anam!

I took my pillow and smacked her on her head with it.

Ghalia: Oww! goumay bs goumay khal9eena

Saba: ka gimt! iff, enzain wain Murooj?

Ghalia: enzalat ta7at be7i6oun elryoug

Saba: umha ta7at ba3ad?

Ghalia: La bes Abdullah o Fawaz

Saba: aha okay 3ayal ana bes aghasil wanzilikum ne6rouny la takloun!

Ghalia: Okay bes la6awleen mara7 nan6er wayed ywa3a!

I looked at her giving her a sarcastic smile then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and change into my jeans and hollister hoodie, it was a sleepover and we weren't going anywhere so this was fine. Badalt o 9alait el fayer ba3dain nezaltlhum. When I got to the kitchen I saw 4 people sitting at the table, Ghalia, Murooj, Abdullah and Fawaz. When I saw him I felt my stomach make knots and the butterflies began to kick in.

Murooj: 9a7 el noum!

Saba: 9a7 eb denich, laish kelkum ga3deen embacher

I looked around to find a place to sit, Murooj was sitting in the middle, her brother on her right and Ghalia to her left and Fawaz was sitting at the end of the table next to Abdullah. I walked over to where Ghalia was sitting and took a seat next to her, basically the farthest seat from Fawaz.. :(

Ghalia: yallah! ye3t mita ekhali9 elakil!

Murooj: al7een! bes khal tkhali9 elkhadama! mafeech 9aber?

Ghalia: la mafeeny! ba6ny gam y6ali3 a9waat ghareeb ou 3ajeeba mu rathy yaskit

Saba: haha Ghalouy entay bes tfakreen eb ba6nich wedy bes mara tensain 3an el akel wetray7eena smillah 3alaich

Ghalia: shtabeen kaify ba6ny w ana 7ura! wallah etha ma khala9 el akel in 5 minutes ba6lib

Abdullah: 3umry ma sheft bent methlech chthy t7ib el akel kithrech

Ghalia: chubb!

Fawaz chuckled then his phone vibrated and he picked it up to see who it was from.A smile grew on his face and soon that smile became a laugh.

Abdullah: shly ytha7ik, tha7ikna ma3aak

Ghalia: Ee tha7ikna ma3ak eshghel balna mn hal na6ra ely mu rathya tkhali9

Fawaz: rfeejy dazly nekta bes

Ghalia: rfeejik ha? :)

Being the fearless crazy girl she is Ghalia reached over and snatched his phone from his hand, I turned my face sightly to peak at the screen hoping it really was a guy who sent him the joke, bugagt 3youny and read the name "Jassem Al X" I let out a sigh even though I didn't understand why I even cared in the first place.

Fawaz: hay shfeech entay 3a6eeny mobiley

I stared at Ghalia and gave her a nudge with my elbow signaling that she better give it back to him.

Ghalia: ayy Sabouy latsaween chthy

Fawaz: La saba saway 7igreeha o khim6ay minha mobiley

I snatched the phone from her and gave her the "shut up or you'll regret it" look, I handed the phone over to Fawaz.

Saba: e3therha el bent mu 9a7ya o yo3ana

Fawaz: la7atht

Ghalia: umbaih chub wai3 entaw mu 7aseen bly ana 7asa feeh tara ana 7ady yo3ana 3ady akil eedy

Just the the nanny walked in with a tray with 5 omelettes

Ghalia: FINALLYYY JANE HERE ME FIRST!

The nanny ignored her and served Fawaz, Abdullah, Murooj, Ghalia then me the food.

Fawaz: Samay gabla takleen la t8i9een

Ghalia: bismellah yallah dig in!

She literally ate her egg without chewing she just swallowed!

Saba: shway shway Ghaloy khalich bent mu chthy takleen!

I whispered in her ear so no one would hear but she didn't realize from how hungry she was

Ghalia: ana ga3da akil mithl bint shfeech entay 3alay khaleeny akel 3ala ra7ty!

Saba: way kaifich

Fawaz: khaleeha el bent ma3endaha tharabat banat mithlech wa7sh mu bnaya

He laughed at her and I took what he said as a complement. We ate our food then went to the living room and we all hung out together until our drivers came to pick us up.

 Fawaz (talking to Abdullah) : Yakhy ta3abat mn eljam3a aby atkharaj w atwathafaby abdy 7ayaty o a3timid 3ala nafsy

I started to listen to their conversation

Abdullah: wallah fahimny ma9arat la3at chabdy mn jam3a

Murooj: 3ayal e7na shngool! lail7een ma bedaina jam3a a9lan jam3a wanasa

Fawaz: mn gal wanasa :o kilha ta3ab o emte7anat

Fawaz: laish? wallah gust a7san

Murooj: tabeeny ayee gust? ;p

Fawaz: la ya3ne bes ga3d agoulich enha zaina kaifich rou7ay auk etha tabeen

He completely ignored her attempt at grabbing his attention and turned to me.

Fawaz: Saba entay way nawya etdisheen?

Saba: h-haa? ana enshallah Gust

Fawaz: 9ij? zain wallah btnawer gust eb wjoudich

I blushed and saw Murooj's face get red with anger.

We locked eyes and as usual Murooj interrupted us

Murooj: so...Fawaz, shinu tan9i7ny adres etha dashait business?

Fawaz: hmm...finance?

Murooj: shme3na mu marketing ma3aak??

I turned my head to look at her, I can't believe she just said that. He turned to me and we smiled at how she was throwing herself at him.

Murooj: shfeek?

Fawaz: ha? wla shay.. entay shfeech?

Murooj: sa2altik su2al!

Fawaz: o 9a7, la bes a7is yloug 3alaich finance akthar dont ask why bes chthy yany e7saas

Saba: shay zain wla mu zain? :s

Fawaz: akeed shay zain

our eyes connected once again and we held the look for a while, why did I feel like he was sweet talking me.

When he realized that he was staring nazalha wayha o his face turned red and I could tell he felt embarassed about what he had just said. 

Saba: mashkour I guess..

Fawaz: el 3afou

we smiled at each other.

*RING..RING..*

Saba: aloo? yes youre outside? okay im coming now, bye.

I looked at everyone in the room.

Saba: saygy bara yallah barou7

I hugged the girls and said bye to Abdullah and Fawaz, just then Fawaz got up and said he had to leave to.

Fawaz: yallah ma3alsalama

Everyone: ma3alsalama

Me and him walked side by side but with a few feet space between us out to the gate of the house.

He opened the door and I walked out then he followed.

Fawaz: mnu beridich el bait?

Saba: sayigna

Fawaz: okay take care enshallah enshoufich mara thanya

Saba: enshallah

Fawaz: w etha 7tejtay ay shay, ay musa3ada 3ashan tsajleen 7ag el jam3a la yredich ela lsanich ana kila mawjoud

Saba: mashkour

I dont have youre number...I thought to my self before I took a step to the car, suddenly -

Fawaz: la7tha Saba

Saba: hala?

Fawaz: nesait ka ra8my lo 7tejtay shay

Saba: mashkour

I took the paper and put it in my purse, then got into the car. I didn't know what this feeling was, but it was something I've never felt before, it was a rush of excitement a thrill an energizing feeling that I never wanted to disappear.

"go home" I told the driver
