"6yb 5la9 mahouy, b9ik eltelephone." Faisal said for the millionth time, but I was still whining like a kid about him not staying on the phone with me while I'm sick.
Maha: Yhon 3laik ttrik 7bebtik w hy t3bana?
Ee adry jalsa atdl3, bes mdri leeh I honestly don't feel like letting him go.
Faisal: a55.. amot 3la eldalo3 anaaa!

I laughed and said a quick bye and hung up.

Faisal and his mother are coming today to "officially" see me. I can't wait! I'm more nervous than I was with Faris' mother. I was going up and down the stairs from nerves, and pacing back and forth in the hallway.
Anoud: oh my god. Maha please eg3di 8sm belah 9d3ty obo rasy!
Maha: ifff!! Enty mstw3ba eno finally byjon?
Anoud: yashai5a!
Maha: 3nouda keef knty calm yom jena ana w omy?
Anoud: I was anything but calm, bes lma klmny Turki w he reminded me how much he loved me nothing else mattered. T3aly did you tell him I love you back?
Maha: No..
Anoud gave me a look that said "are you stupid?" Before I could fight her on this, my phone started ringing. I answered after reading Faisal's name.
Maha: alo?
Faisal: wdy marah w7da bes adig 3lek w la tgolen alo awal ma trden.
Maha: hi..
Faisal: I miss you and your beautiful face so much.
Maha: twik shayfni! El9b7 mar beetna 3la asas ray7 3nd 9de8ik kthab.
Faisal: 7beby ely gaf6ni..
Maha: umhm..
Faisal: agol mahoyy, tdren esh be9eer elyom enshallah?
Maha: laa, mdri..
Faisal: btejkm omy w ana bt8er 3eny bshoftik..
Maha: hmm, leeh tjy omk?
Faisal: 3shan t9eren murty 7lalii..
Faisal's tone was low, low to a degree that it made my heart drop to my stomach and then a million butterflies were unleashed. I pinched my thigh a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
Maha: Faisal..
Faisal: 3yon Faisal? Galba? Ro7ah? E6lby enty w ana ajeb..
Maha: a7bikk.
Faisal: haa?
Maha: a 7 b i k..
I knew that I have been in love with him for a while now. To say that I love him, to express my love to him felt so much better than I expected. I've never been in love before, but it's one of the best feelings ever. I could hear Faisal's irregular breathing on the phone, and it excited me to no end to know that a simple word like that coming from me, was making him feel that way.
~
I strapped my heels as slowly as possible. I wanted to take as long as possible before going down. After Faisal's call I felt a hundred times better, but I couldn't help but be nervous.
Lita: Mahaaawyy yallaa come down, mama say you late. Hada horma yeje last week yeje marra tanya, wld heya marraaa helo ahla mn hadak wld.
I laughed at Lita's ramble, and nodded. I looked at my reflection one last time, and made sure my hair was tied back elegantly, and my curls fell gracefully. I was wearing high waisted pants with a tucked in silk blouse. I went with as simple make up as possible. My phone beeped, and I checked it one last time before going down. I had a new msg from Faisal:
"شفت الحياة بشوفتك و ضحكتلي
تبدلت دنياي من هم لأفراح"
I smiled a huge smile, and a blush colored my cheeks. I walked into the mjlis, but this time I was looking up. My eyes fell on him, I loved how he looked at me. It made me feel like I was the only person in the room, or in the planet, I blushed and looked down when I realized that my mother and his were looking at us. The jealousy in me flared when I noticed a gorgeous girl sitting exactly next to him, with her arm on his shoulder. I knew for a fact that Faisal had 2 younger sisters, but they were both in London studying, and I've seen them. So who is this? I could feel a green eyed monster in me trying to claw its way out of its burial place.
Om Faisal(Shaikha): ahlan Maha 7bebty, kefik ya mama?
His mother was gorgeous, mashallah. She was still very young, but she had a few wrinkles from smiling too much.
Maha: el7amdellah kefik enty 5alty?
Shaikha: el7amdellah. Shufy ya mama ha4y Dalal 3mt Faisal w e5ta blre9'a3a.
Awl ma galt 3mt Faisal, k2n moya barda enkbt 3ly. I know ena I'm a drama queen bes shswy, jealousy kills.
I stretched my hand for Faisal to shake it, and he held it. We shook hands for more than we should, but it's like we were both in a trance. He brushed his finger against my wrist a few times, and I felt goosebumps rising on each and every inch of my skin. I bit hard on my lower lip, and looked up and him through my lashes. It was probably a more seductive look than I meant it to be, but seeing his pained look, and how he licked his lips did wonders to me. I immediately dropped his hand when we heard his aunt fake cough. I went up to her next and kissed her cheek, she looked young, my age probably.
Dalal: ewa Maha keef elderasa?
Maha: el7amdellaah walla mashyaa
Dalal: jaya ejaza?
Maha: ee bda my summer!
Dalal: mo k2na bdry? Y3ny ana ashof Amal w Najla twhom ma 5l9o..
Maha: ella bdry bes ana a54t course zyada elterm eli fat 3shan a5l9 bdri this term 3shan elzwaj.
Dalal: ahaaa.
Noura: Maha mama ro7y ejlso ento w Faisal bl7alkm.
Faisal had come earlier this week with his dad to see my dad, and everything went smoothly. I stood up and walked before him even though I knew the pervert was having a great show. We went and sat down in a sitting area barra elmjls. I looked at him, and my breath caught in my throat.
(A/N: Akbr 3eediyaa<3)
Faisal's P.O.V:
She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I saw a lot of beautiful women in my life, from models to business women. No one has ever compared to her. I suddenly remembered what my friend Sulaiman told me when he got married.
-Flashback-
Sulaiman: haa bo mit3eb, mafe zwaj 3n 8reeb?
Faisal: wallaa fe mu56a6
Sulaiman: w meeen sa3eedt el7a9' eli gdrt t3'yr ra2yik?
Faisal: w7daa ya saloom w7da. Bes ya5y, shlon 3rft ena Reema he ely tbeha?
Sulaiman: basee6a, awl shy knt bes ant9'r elwagt ely t97a feh 3shan aklmha, w yom shftaha kant a7la w7da bl3alam w l7dt al7een ajmal w7da blnesba ly. Lma t7b, bt3rf.
Faisal: ma rf9'tik 3shan sh3'lik?
Sulaiman: ma rf9'tni, bes bedayt elmaw9'o3 kant t5af kther. Y3ny kint la 6l3t eldwam knha a5er marra tshofni. W ma agolik ena daymn sheen elwa9'3 lw 3arif esh g9dy bes awal km sh'hr lazim try7ha. Tdg 3aleha kl ma gdrt, trslha msg, tgolha enk t7bha. Y3ny la t5aleha t5af, l2nha lw 5aft mo9ebaa!
A soft melody like voice interrupted me, and pulled me back to reality. I heard her laugh and my heart did that stupid stutter it does when she laughs.
Faisal: I'm glad I'm entertaining you.
Maha: Faisal m9dg ena 5la9? Ma bgalna shay bes nmlik?
I guess shoftna was different from other couples because we know each other well. My hand crawled till it closed on her tiny palm, and I interlaced our fingers.
Faisal: agol mahawy, esh tben tsamen 3yalna?
Maha: tdry eny knt aby asamy Faisal ya 7marr!
Faisal: 6yb esh d5lni ana 3shan esmy Faisal?
Maha: ifff maly shi3'il aby asmi wldy Faisal.
Faisal: esh asawy ana? A3'ayr esmi?
Maha: laa basee6a atzwj wa7d thany w ajeb mnah wld w asmeh Faisal.
Faisal: elaaa ha4y. A3'ayr esmy wla tetzawjen 3'airy!
Maha: t3'ar?
She asked with a wide smile and wide eyes, I loved how she was going out of her shell more everyday. She was introducing me to her real self, and I'm falling in love with her even more. I bugged my eyes, and nodded frantically. When she laughed her adorable shy laugh, I went back to playing with her fingers and kissing each one.

Maha's P.O.V:
Maha: 3noud klba walla elfstan mara 9'ayg w g9er!!
Anoud: Maha wallaa you look good! More than good 7ta hot! Can we go now?
Anoud was staring at her reflection in a tiny mirror and was walking out the door. We were late to her own sister's bacherolette party, the villa door opened and Anoud was almost walking right into whoever was coming; before I could tell her to look out she bumped into Turki and lipstick printed a kiss on his white shirt, exactly on his chest right beneath his heart. I laughed, and stayed in the shadows wanting to see what's going to happen to Anoud now.
Anoud: shiii2 shiii2!! Oh my god I'm so so sorry 7beby, offf 3ndik mkan mohim tro7la? Ya allaaah!
She was trying to remove it with her fingers, but she was only smudging it more. Turki was looking down on her and laughing at her reaction, he put his hand on hers to stop it from moving, and Anoud looked up. She was wearing el6r7a lightly so it fell when she looked up, and a few locks fell in front of her eyes. My brother tucked them very softly, and his fingers were still on her cheek. I coughed to avoid anything else happening between them, and they quickly stepped away from each other.
When we were settled in the car and on the way, Anoud was talking to herself.
Anoud: so how much did you see?
Maha: enough to know that you and my brother are so in love that you can never be apart for too long. Mashallah 3noud, shfty keef y6al3 fek? Walla k2na a7d 7a6 elshams gdamh.
Anoud: tra I love him so much.
Maha: I know 7bebty, I know.

I was on the phone with Faisal and I was snuggled up in bed. It was 4 AM and I had just came back from the party.
Maha: so basically -yawn- you want me to go out with you tomorrow?
Faisal: yes.
Maha: can we even do that?
Faisal: mdri.. Ymkin..
Maha: mo lw tjy elbeet a7sn?
Faisal: okay ajy elbeet.
Maha: metaaa-yawn-?
Faisal: namy, babe.
Maha: maby, aby ag3d m3k zyada. 6ol elyoum mo -yawn- mklmtik..
Faisal: eshtagteeli?
Maha: ymkin..
And for the second time ever, I fell asleep with him on the phone.
