Me: to be honest, I don’t trust Fahad, I trust Hoody!

Fahad: shelfarg!

Me: there is a huge difference! … I don’t like Fahad! Fahad hates me, and he is so bossy, 8aleel adab w may7trmni, Fahad is the evil side of you, he’s the devil himself!

Fahad: w Hoody?

Me: I LOVEEEE HOOODY!!! Hoody is an angel!!!! 7ada 6aaayb w may7b eza3lni, ekhaaf 3alay, w kela yen9a7ni .. Hoody kel shay zaain!

He’s 8aleel adab he always calls me Blondie,

Fahad: you realize ena Fahad wagf jdamich w etgoleenla 8aleel adab w saket!

Me: oh so now you’re turning all Fahad on me! … stay as Hoody I like him better

Me: I guess we’re equal … you hate me and I hate you

Fahad: 9aba alflani ma tkrahni

Me: now she does

Fahad: laah

He pulled my waist to him. I was now standing between his legs in front of him while he was sitting on the bed

Fahad: akeed ma t7beeni?

Me: I don’t like you (I held his face between my hands while I stared into his dark chocolate eyes)

Fahad: met2akda (he whispered in his deep voice)

Me: aham

Our faces got closer

Fahad: w al7een

His voice made my body tingle with that odd sensation.

Me: maybe I’ll like Fahad better if he kissed me (I whispered)

I leaned my forehead against his, my lips slightly touching his,

I gave him a peck on the lips and pulled away

Me: Hoody (I whispered)

Fahad: hmm?

Me: so tell me what happened when I left… how are the others?

Fahad: maku, Saloom 7abeebich tezawaj, w a7medo lel7eena sarsary, w 9aloo7 haha Allah yaster 3aleh

Fahad: enzain yalla ta3alay khemday bacher warana g3da mn el 9b7

I jumped into bed… we both cuddled next to each other

I tried to sleep but couldn’t … I was remembering the old days,

Me: Fahad? (I whispered)

Fahad: hmm

I knew he was asleep.

Me: goom I can't sleep (I whispered again) Hoody stay up with me

Fahad: shfeech? (He whispered in a sleepy voice)

Me: mafeni shay bs mu daykkha

Fahad: hmm

Me: Hoody do you still love me? Y3ni methil awal?

I waited for him to answer but I knew he went back to sleep and didn’t hear a word I said.

I closed my eyes and after what seemed like forever I slept.

Fahad: 9aba yalla gomay

Me: No, (I started whinning) tawni nayma .. Khalni anam shway

Fahad: matabeen tro7een el camp?

Me: emballah bs abi anam

I felt him sit next to me.

Fahad: ekhthay lebsay hatha

I opened my eyes a little and saw an outfit he picked

Me: bnro7 el camp laish kel hatha … Get me a training shorts and a tank top

He came back with a training pants and a shirt

Me: were you even listening?

Fahad: khal9eena eb talbseen wela albsch

Me: okay, okay a39abk

I pulled the training pants from him. Thank God I was wearing a dress. I placed the pants on.

Me: close your eyes

I didn't wait for him to close them, I took off the dress, I was only wearing my bra. I placed the shirt on and laid myself back in bed.

Fahad: maku fayda! .. Ay jooty tabeen

Me: abi the pink flats

Fahad: ay wa7d

Fahad: malyoon jooty wardy hnee

Me: Hooodz lw gayma labsa broo7i a7saanli, 6ayrt el noom mn 3aini!

Fahad: eeh mu hatha el ma6loob!

I got up and walked to the bathroom. I washed my face and did my business, applied a little make up on, and then walked out.

Fahad: aghra'9ch betkhalenhm

Me: eeh geltlk ams, my manager is gonna send them to my house.

Fahad: yalla 3ayal meshaina

Me: la bs mu m9adga enk Hoody

Fahad: hathy 3asher mara et3eden hal jomla

Me: shasawi walla lw ent mkani chan 9ar feek nafsi

We went to the car. The driver took us to the airport; as usual paparazzi were there. For fame's sake those paparazzi are everywhere.

We finally got into my mom’s jet.

Me: I'm sleepy

Fahad: la7'9a, eklay shay gabl la tnameen

Me: I'm not hungry

Fahad: ma 3aleh eklay shway, ams ma akaltay shay

He handed me a croissant, I ate it and laid my chair down and slept.

...

Fahad: 9aba (he whispered) yalla w9alna

I rubbed my eyes and sat up.
