Someone we didn't expect.

Someone that we haven't seen for months.

Someone that I couldn't bear seeing.

Bandar and Fahad stood up and attacked him with manly hugs. They were so happy, I guess I'd feel that way if my best friend cut off all connections suddenly and disappeared for months. If Bandar knew about what he did to me, Bandar would've kicked him out of our house by now. Laith was still as a rock, he was tense, VERY tense. He had his jaw clenched and gripping his hands into fists. Anger was the only emotion shown in his eyes.

"Waink m5tfy? 9arlena shahrain ma shfnaak!" Bandar exclaimed.

"Eee walla 9adg Bandar faj2a e5tfait. 9ayer shay?" asked Fahad.

"Wsh nswy, 6la3atly mshakl faj2a w knt m'6e6ar eny arou7" 5alid replied. (Had you fooled didn't I =))? you guys thought it was Sa3ad right?)

"Allah yhdak, 5ala9 el7amdila kl shay 9ar a7san" Bandar said.

Laith was angry, I mean really really angry. He was so angry that it would be normal if went up to 5alid and just beat the sh*t out of him. Heat was radiating from his body, that's exactly how angry he was. I held his clenched fists, flattened them, then intertwined my fingers with his. That made him ease up a bit, he looked at me and flashed me his charming smile. And I just blushed.

"Shahad! Mara7 tsalmeen 3alla 5alid?" Bandar asked.

"Haa? .. um ella" I spoke hesitantly walking towards 5alid.

"Welcome back" I smiled.

He hugged me and said, "Thanks babe." I felt Laith's stare burning through the back of my head and my only thought was; I hope I get out of this alive.

I whispered "Jerk" into 5alid's ears, and pinched his arm as I was letting go. That surely left him with a shocked expression on his face, but he quickly recovered. 5alid gave Laith a dry hug and it showed from Laith's facial expressions that he DID NOT want to talk to 5alid. 5alid then sat with Bandar and Fahad and continued playing Fifa with them.

-End of chat-


I headed to the garden and found him sitting on one of the swings. It's our place, ever since the day we became friends we would always meet up here if we wanted to talk privately.

"Hello amigo" I said as I walked over to him and sat on the swing closest to him.

"Shahad maly 5lg"

"Shfeek?" I asked worried

"Shfeeny? wsh feeny? Wsh elly ma feeny ya Shahad! Aby afham kaif t5meen (hug) 5alid b3d kl elly sawah feek?? Kaiif?? Kaif ma t7seen bl gahar elly 7asait feeh? Ma tdreen ena fee wa7ed y5af 3alaik? Ma tdreen enny maby ashouf wala walad ygarrb mnk? Shahooda laish ma t7seen feeny??" he said with a calm voice trying to cover his anger and pain.

"Liath what was I supposed to do? A5iza w amshy? Ent tdry ena Bandar w Fahad ma ya3rfoun 3n el salfa. Etha ma 5amaita (hug) by7soon ena fe shay 9ayer. La t5af I can take care of my self." I replied.

"La walla? Then why am I your protector baby?" he said playfully. YES! Fun Laith is back!

"One, it's because I like having you near me. Two, I am NOT a baby. Three, if I couldn't take care of myself, then how did I pinch 5alid and whispered 'jerk' into his ear?" I spoke sarcastically.

"You pinched him?" he said muffling his laugh.

"Yes and I pinched him too" I replied.

We looked at each other for 2 seconds then cracked up. We both fell to the ground and just laughed for no apparent reason. We were so close to each other, I was almost stuck to him. We quieted down and just stared into each other's eyes, gosh his eyes are so deep it's like I'm looking into his soul. My face was inches away from his, his eyes were looking at my lips then back to my eyes, shifting between them. Laith then cupped my face with one hand and pushed the hair falling on my face with the other. He whispered 'you're beautiful' under his breath. Laith kept coming closer and closer, and I just froze with fear thinking 'This is it! Noo! I'm too young'. He closed his eyes and I closed mine, my heart thumping. The next thing I feel is his lips on my forehead, then he backed away and looked at me. I looked at him with questioning eyes.

"You're too young." was all he said for me to understand. Understand that we were too young for this. Understand that it's a risky thing to do. Understand that we're not ready. Understand that we have strong feelings for each other that are undefined. Understand that if we ever kissed we wouldn't be able to stop.

Laith pulled me closer to him and hugged me, my head on his chest. Listening to his calming heartbeats, while he was playing with my hair humming the tune of "All About Us - He Is We". No night could ever be as amazing as this night.

"SHAHAD?! LAITH?!"

And let the havoc begin ..
