Just Another Story; Chapter 11

The doors were big the entrance was crowded we finally went in as I was ready to go down the stairs I looked down to the crowd I saw him standing there staring at me he was so handsome with his suit it felt like I was Cinderella and he was my prince but he wasn't mine, but I couldn't help but let a smile out as I walked down those stairs looking down to make sure I don't fall 

"Be careful we don't want you to fall we know how clumsy you are" said Fatima 

"Shut up" I replied 

She was right I am so clumsy I don't think it is normal, but I made it down safe 

"You look beautiful" Said Hamad 

"Thank you" I said blushing "you don't look bad yourself" I said 

"Bad?" He said grinning 

"Fine you look handsome" I said 

"I know" he said as he laid his hands out for me indicating that I take it I held his hand 

"You will sit with us because your parents will be busy" he said 

I kept looking left and right looking for Fatima and Mariam they were no where to be found, I sat and he sat next to me

“so I guess you are stuck with me” I said

“I don’t think of it as stuck” he said

“there you are” Mariam said

I looked behind me to see her standing there with the same guy from the mall

“who is the blonde” asked Hamad in my ears

“Ill tell you later” I said

“Mike this is my sister” she said “the farty one” she whispered in his ears “and that’s Hamad “ she continued normally

“nice to meet you” I  said

“like wise” he answered

“and now goodbye” said Maryam as she pulled him away

“I wont eat him” I told her

I told Hamad the story but of course leaving the reason for doing it, I remembered my enter counter with him that day and I couldn’t help but smile

“do you want to dance” he asked

“no, I don’t really know how to dance” I answered

he stood up and said “its easy just follow my lead”

he grabbed my hand and before I knew it we were dancing our hands interlocked his hand around my waist my hand was placed on his shoulder as we were moving so gently everything felt right in the world we swoon to the beat of the song I wanted the song to play forever and for us to never stop dancing.

“see it is easy” he said so huskily in my ears

“ya” I answered not wanting to talk fearing that it will ruin the moment

the song was done “I guess we need to go back to our place” i said 

“no we don’t” he answered so simply

“people are staring” I said

he held my hands and pulled me

“where are we going” I asked

he didn’t answer, he just swung the door open  it was a big empty area with grass covering it all, we were facing each other we just stood there staring at each other then he wrapped his hands around my waist and we continued dancing under the star light for what seemed hours and I didn’t mind at all 

Just Another Life; Chapter 10

“WAKE UP” a familiar voice bursts into my ear as cold hands shook me to conscious

“what what is wrong” I woke up terrified

“you are wrong, we have no time to waste we need to get ready” said Fatima

“you should really learn how to wake up somebody without causing them a heart attack” I said

“what she is still in bed” I heard Maryam say from the door side

“calm down it is still early” I said

“oh no it is not wake up” said Fatima

“I am awake” I said heading to the bathroom

“we will be waiting in the lobby so that we can go eat breakfast” said Maryam

“it is still 9 o’clock why are you two in such a hurry” I said

“we want to look perfect” said Fatima

“well  I wont with these sacks under my eyes all because of you I was not able to sleep” I said

“well too bad” said Maryam

“just leave” I said

I finished washing up got dresses and headed to the lobby just when I thought my morning cant get any worse I see Hamad I walk to Maryam and Fatima and pretend like I didn’t see him, I couldn’t help but take a glance at him wait is that a girl with him why is she touching his arms, why do I even care I tried to ignore it and just eat.

“who is that girl with Hamad?” I asked before I could stop myself

“is someone jealous” teased Fatima

“what no, I am just curious” I said

“I don’t know” said Maryam

“woow that is a first” I said

“she is probably no one that’s why I don’t who she is” she replied defending herself

“ya she is probably no one” I said echoing her

“now lets go do our nails and not let her ruin our day” she said looking at me

we headed to the salon

“what color do you think I should apply” I said looking  at wide variety of selections

“French” said Fatima

“owh yea defiantly french go simple specially with your dress” said Maryam

we kept talking and laughing but my mind would always go back to Hamad who was she, what is happening am I jealous I couldn’t why would I. before I knew it we were done

“I am thinking of putting my hair in a bun” I said

“no you look better with your hair open” said Fatima

“and my hair will be in a bun we can't have the same hair style” said Maryam

“I am the eldest I get to choose” I said crossing my arms

“ya but we both know you want your hair open” said Maryam

“you know me too well” I said

“well I am your sister after all” said Maryam

“would you two stop” said Fatima 

“fine lets just finish” I said

I wore my sparkly black dress elbow length sleeved it was tight from the top but loose from the bottom it revealed my back as I fixed my hair to one side loosely curled, applied my make up keeping it all simple.

“oh my god you look sexy” sexy said Fatima

“I know right” I said looking down at my dress

 Fatima had a red dress on that showed her body perfectly tight from the top and puffy from the bottom, while Maryam had a yellow silk dress on that suited her skin color.

Just Another Life; Chapter 9

I looked at Fatima “we need to get me a dress” I said as I pulled her out

“ohh now you want me to go with you” said Fatima

“are you going to help me or not?” I said

“you know I will never pass an opportunity to go shopping and I fear if I let you alone you would pick an ugly dress” said Fatima

“we wouldn’t want that to happen” said Maryam from behind me

“so how was it” I said with a smile I couldn’t help but let out

“how was what” said Fatima anxiously

“well your cousin saw the cutest guy ever and decided to make me look bad but she didn’t realize that it just made her look bad and he will come to the charity thing with me tomorrow” she said 

“oh somebody likes a boy” said Fatima

“no I did that annoy a girl here” she said that and looked at me

“yea right” I said

“we have no time to waste” said Fatima

I saw this dress and I fell in love with it instantly

“look at this one” I said pointing at it

“it very pretty” said Fatima

I took it and tried it on I went out to show them

“you look gorgeous” said Maryam

“Hamad will love it” said Fatima

“ sho y59a?” I said and stormed in to change but the thought of him liking my dress made me smile

“ I am hungry lets go eat” said Maryam

“I’ll call Marwan and see if they are done so can all eat together” said Fatima

“noooo” I said maybe a little to fast

“just seconds ago you ditched us and left so you can be with him alone” said Fatima with a raised eyebrow

“I didn’t do it for that reason you two just annoyed me” I said as I folded my arms

“now you have to tell us” said Maryam

“or I will call them” said Fatima

“this is called bullying” I said

“no it is not” said Maryam

“soo?” said Fatima as she took out her phone out of her bag

“fine lets just go sit and eat” I said

we went to a restaurant and as soon as we sat they bugged me to tell them, I told them what happened

“OMG I knew it, so do you love him” asked Maryam

“I don’t know” I said

“you so do love him” said Fatima

“she loves who” asked Marwan

“no one” she said

“come on say it, is it jake?” said Marwan looking at me

“no” I said “I love the actor I was against in the beginning and then now I love him and they are teasing me about it” I continued

“so did you get your dress” asked Hamad

“ya” I said that only

“she looks gorgeous in it” said Fatima

“I bet she does” said Hamad under his breath hoping nobody heard him but I did

 that made me smile, I kept quit the whole time or I would keep my answers short  

we had dinner with our families as usual they all kept talking about what would happen tomorrow and what time we have to there but all I kept thinking about is what would Hamad think of my dress,

we went back to the hotel I couldn’t sleep I kept thinking about Hamad and my feelings towards him, I don’t know what to do and I had no idea about how I felt.

Just Another Life; Chapter 8

I woke up finding Fatima and Maryam staring at me and giggling

“what is wrong with you two leave me alone” I said covering my face with the blanket

“the whole time you are sleeping you were smiling and giggling” said Maryam

“you looked funny” said Fatima

“thank you for informing me” I said and stood up to wash up

“well??” said Fatima as she came in the bathroom

“can I have my privacy” I said looking at her

“no not until you spill everything out” said Maryam swooping in joining her

“nothing to spill” I said I slammed the door on their faces

“it's fine we can talk with the door closed” said Fatima

“ughghghghg” I said

“or we can wait here all day” said Maryam

“looking that we have nothing to do” said Fatima

“nothing at all” continued Maryam

“what do you two annoying asses want to know” I said as I opened the door

“why were you smiling” said Fatima

“umm I don’t know I was sleeping” I said as I opened the closet to pick what I should wear today I wanted to look good, I remembered Hamad

“there you are smiling again” said Maryam pointing at my mouth

I quickly frowned “what no I wasn’t” I said

I took out a white shirt and a light blue pants and paired it with leather jacket 

“where are you going” said Fatima

“to go buy a dress for the thing tomorrow that you didn’t tell me you were going to” I said

“with?” said Maryam

“Hamad” I said as I went to take my ballerina out

“there she is smiling again” said Fatima

I applied some lipstick and blush

“bye” I said as I headed out

“if you don’t speak we will ruin your day” they both said as they popped their head out of the side of the door 

“you wouldn’t dare” I said

I didn’t worry they weren’t dressed and Fatima takes a long time just to pick her shoes, I went to eat breakfast I preferred going alone than with the two idiots because I know for a fact they will annoy me.

“why are you eating alone” I hear a familiar muscular voice say

“ohh hi Marwan, because I have the most annoying sister and cousin in the world I am even fascinated by myself that I managed to get dresses” I said

“ehh mar’6a 3la Fatima” he said with a tease

“yea sure” I said

I finished eating and headed to the lobby waiting for Hamad

“there you are” I heard a familiar voice say

no it cant be they wouldn’t

“you didn’t” I said

“ohh yess we did” said Maryam

“our parents said you have to take us with you because we have nothing to do unless you like Hamad that you would mind us coming then we would totally not mind leaving” said Fatima

“fine come” I said angrily

we sat there waiting and I didnt say a thing they just kept teasing and laughing

“are you ready Hamda” said Hamad

“what about us aren’t you gonna ask if we are ready” said Maryam  with a tease

“umm I didn’t know you guys are coming” said Hamad as he brushed his hair to the back

he always does that when he nervous I think it is adorable

“just ignore them” I said as I pulled him to the door

“what I am not invited” said Marwan

“great” I said under my breathe

“they weren’t invited too but it didn’t stop them it wouldn’t stop you too so lets all go” I said

“what is wrong with her” I heard Marwan say

“you know girls” said Fatima so calmly giggling

we headed to the mall we went in to some shops but didn’t find anything

“you know if us girls went alone and the boys went alone this whole process would be easier” said Maryam

“you wouldn’t” I said

“ohh we would” said Fatima nodding

“Marwan Fatima doesn’t want to hang with you she just told me that she wants to go alone see what’s wrong with her maybe she is sad or mad or there is something wrong with you” I screamed to Marwan

“and I would too you are next midget I looked at Maryam” I looked at her “this is war”

I left Marwan talking to Fatima and I walked as I was walking I saw this cute boy alone and noticed that Maryam was looking at him

“Maryam huni its not good to pick your nose in public I told you that, did you just fart god it is stinky sweety I told you not to” I said that loud enough for the boy to hear

he looked at us, so I grabbed him “can you please teach her some manners” I told him and he just kept looking at me shocked

“I am sorry it is just she fell and hurt her head and she thinks I am doing things that she does” Maryam said

“that doesn’t make sense” I said and winked at her then I walked away

that is when I saw Hamad struggling to pick a shirt

“which one do you think is better?” he asked ponting at two shirts

“the white one” I said, because I always like white shirts with black suits

he grabbed it and went to try it on

“can you pick a tie for me” he said from inside the dressing room

“I don’t really know anything about ties” I said

“just pick I am sure it will be nice” he said

I saw I light blue one and blue goes perfect with his face it shows his beautiful features and the hazelnut color of his eyes pops out so I picked it and I handed it to him, I sat down and checked my phone to see if Fatima or Maryam got out of the mess they were in I looked up to see Hamad struggling to do his tie, so I got up and did it for him I could feel him staring at me we were soo close I got nervous but I controlled my nerves and acted normal, I looked up our eyes locked together I could feel flares sparkling I was lost in hazel colored eyes we stayed like the for a while.

“HAMDA” I heard Fatima say through her tight shut jaw

“there all done” I said as I was waken back to reality and buttoned his blazer

for the first time I am thanking god for her annoyance
