And with that he forced his lips on mine. 

-


I felt something on my lips but only after 5 seconds did I register that it was Sa3ad's lips. They were rough and strong. Forcing me to kiss him back, his tongue was forcing its way into my mouth. I tried to keep his tongue out of my mouth and tried to push him, but with no such luck he pulled me closer to him. He had one had on my waist and the other behind my head, pulling me closer to him. My hands were on his chest doing their best to push him off, but he's stronger.


After a few minutes he broke the kiss gasping for air as he said, "kiss me back." He forced his lips on mine again, pulling me closer, his tongue trying to gain entrance to my mouth, and me fighting back. After a few minutes I gave up..


I gave up..


I gave up..


I gave up and kissed him back. The electricity, the rush, and the spark all came back to me. I pulled him closer to me. My hands were playing with his hair, and both his hands were on my waist; pulling me to him. I let his tongue swirl inside my mouth as the feeling of pleasure escalated through my body.


The feeling of pleasure was indescribable. All of the buried feelings I had for him resurfaced and made me want him. I wanted him. I wanted him bad.


He broke off the kiss and said with a sexy smirk, "so? Any feelings yet?"

"Just kiss me." I said as I put my mouth on his.


The make-out session continued for a couple of minutes until Sa3ad suddenly broke it off and started looking around in panic. Which made me look around in fear.

"What's wrong?" I whispered.

"Shh.. I thought I heard something." he paused, "Wait here, I'll go check it out"

"NO! uhh no. I'll come with you" I said, "I'm scared."

"Come here baby" he said as he wrapped his arms around me, "We'll go together."

"Okay."


We walked around the chalet and no one was in sight. The only thing out of place was a bottle of water on the floor.

"Shahoody let's go sit on the beach and watch the sunrise, there's nothing here" Sa3ad said.

"Okay" I replied as he sliped his fingers into mine.



We sat on the beach. I was sitting between his legs, my back stuck to his chest. He has his knees up as if to protect me from any evil eyes. He wrapped his arms around my tummy and kissed the back of my head. We stayed in that position for the next 30 minutes just watching the sunrise.




-Laith's Point of View-



I woke up right before dawn to get myself a bottle of water. As I took one I heard a girl's scream. Wait a minute that's Shahad! I rushed out of my room in fear, following her voice. I don't know what would happen to me if she wasn't alright. She's my life, my love, and my all.


I was going to tell her I love her yesterday but we were graced -not really- by Sa3ad's presence. I couldn't tell her. I decided to tell her today but waking up to her scream is not reassuring.



I ran outside ready to kill whoever would hurt my princess, my love, my Shahad. As I reached the right side of the chalet I wished that I didn't come to her rescue.


The person I love didn't need rescue, in fact she was kissing that jerk Sa3ad.


To say my heart broke into a million pieces is an understatement. The hurt I feel has no equal. The betrayal I feel is like acid in my body. The anger is the worst, it's like my whole body is on fire. I wanted to jump on that jerk and just beat the hell out of him! But I knew better, so I turned around and walked away..


As I walked the water bottle I had in hand slipped and made noise, so I ran as fast as I can to the chalet and went up to my room.



Ladies and gentlemen, today I was betrayed by the person who I thought was most loyal to me.

Shahad.

Perfume - Chapter 23

Hello my lovely amigos, 

I'm sorry for not posting yesterday, I know that I promised one. I got too caught up in school work, and then my mom had a 3azeema so I couldn't continue writing the post. I hope you forgive me. I love you all <3

"Aloo?" I said through the phone. 

-

No answer.

"Aloo?"

No answer.

"ALOOO?!!"

No answer.

"Uff maly 5lgk! Bye" and I ended the call.


Just as I was about to sleep again my phone rings. "Ugh.. ya laitny 7a6aita silent" I said to myself as I answered.


"Aloo?" I asked.

No answer.

"Aloo?"

No answer.

I shut my phone again. But the number kept on calling and I just ignored. After maybe the 10th missed call I got a message:

Blocked ID

Answer your phone or you'll regret it.

Received at 2:45

And it ringed again. ANNOYING!!

"ALOO?" I said through the phone angrily. 

No answer, but I could hear heavy breathing.

"Meen ma3ay?" 

No answer. 

"Uff.. la9gaa." and I hung up again. 

I got another message: 

Blocked ID

Go outside to the right side of the chalet. 

Received at 2:49

I was so annoyed. I want to kill that person! But I was also curious; who would call me at this time? Why would this person want to meet me? What will he/she say? I guess I'll have to go find out for myself.

I got up, got dressed, and headed to the kitchen. I opened the cupboard and took out the baseball bat to ensure my safety. I then exited the chalet through the double doors and headed to the right side. I was not expecting this.

"What took you so long?" he asked.

"What do you want?" I said coldly.

"I just wanted to see you like old times, sneaking out just before dawn to watch the sunrise. I would always hug you from your back and kiss the back of your head as we enjoyed the sunrise. Remember?"

"That was a long time ago Sa3ad. I'm leaving" I turned around to leave.

"NO NO WAIT!" he yelled as he held my arm and turned me around to face him, "Kan wdy aklmk b maw'6o3 mohim"

I raised an eyebrow.

"Shahad ana tarakt Wajd ma abeeha, Ma 9rt a7bha.. B3d ma rja3t laha 7asait eny magdar atnafas mu merta7, w ba3dain ekteshaft ena galby ma ybeeha yby bnt thanya. Knt jay el shalaih 3ashan aklmk b hatha el maw'6o3 bs shftk m3 Laith w en9adamt el 9ara7ah"

"Wait wait wait. ENT gawamtny mn el NOUM 3ashan tg3ed t8e9 ly 3n 8e9at 7ubk m3 Wajd? Aby anam lw sm7t, w I'm not your friend 3ashan tgoully hal kalam. Tby tshky lel a7ad 3ndk Bandar w Fahad w 5alid. Oh wait! you ended your friendship with 5alid too. Have a nice life." I walked away and he pulled me back to my place.

"MA 5ALA9T KALAMY! uhh.. ga9dy asef. Doodi redy 3alay aish bainek enty w Laith? Laish ga3ed ynadeek 'princess'? You were my princess! Kaif a9lan tr'6ain ena ya5eth mkany?" he spoke with a voice filled with sorrow.

And just then it hit me. All the memories I had with him; our childhood, his graduation, our birthdays, everything.. and then I remembered the pain, him leaving, the shouting, the way he replaced me, the way he treated me as if I was trash. I remembered the hurt, the pain, the grief.

Tears spilled down as I remembered, but then I remembered Laith; his smile, his hugs, his dimples, his white heart, and it made me smile. But that smile soon turned into a frown when I saw Sa3ad coming closer to me.

He wiped my tears as he said, "Shh.. don't cry baby." He pulled me in for a hug but I pushed him with all the force I had.

"ETREKNYY!! LA 3OMREK TGAREB MNY YA 7AYWAN!! You left me to be with her! You're the one that chose her, your ex, over me, your best friend. You moved on and so did I. I found the guy that pulled me out of my depression when you left. He comforted me, wiped my tears, and made me smile. Where were you when I was in my depression? Oh that's right you were with Wajd oblivious to the fact that you made me depressed. Where were you when I needed someone to hug me and tell me everything was going to be okay? Where were you when I needed someone to make me smile? Where were you when I needed you? Laith took your place, he got me out of my depression, comforted me, and always managed to make me smile. He replaced you." my tears didn't stop falling.

"Shahad I'm so sorry, wa3ad ma a3eed'ha. Please abeek! Shahad mo gader asawy ay shay bdounek. Maby Laith ya5thek mny. Sam7eeny lw sma7ty! Ba5aleek as3ad ensan bl 3alam walla ya Shahoody" he begged.

"W 5alid? Tet4akar 5alid 97? He was once your best friend bs ENT t'hawasht ma3ah w tarakt'ha. Are you willing to go and apologize to him?" I said.

"AT2ASAF LEL HATHA EL 7AYWAN?!! LAAA!! Ma tet4akrain laish t'hawasht ma3ah? Hw elly kan ga3ed y5mk! W kathab w ygoul enk 7abeebta!! Kaif tbeeny arj3 9deeg L ensan kan ygoul enk 5awyt'h la w kan y5mk w shwy ybosk! Hatha elly nage9!" he spoke angrily.

"Laish?? Laish mo ra'6y tsam7h? Ana sama7t'h w now we're close. Tarra el asaf mo 7aram" I replied.

"MA T9ADGEENA WALA TKALMEENA FAHMA??" he screamed.

"LAISH LA2?!!" I asked.

"A7EBK!!"

That one word made me freeze, it made my insides churn, my heart to beat rapidly. I was tongue-tied, how will I get out of this? I didn't know what I was saying or doing, it was like my mind had shut down and my body decided to work by itself.

"Aish?" I said in a voice softer than a whisper.

"A7bek a7ebek a7ebek! Enty el sebab elly 5alany atrek Wajd, kaif a36eeha galby etha enty sargteeh? Ma3rf laish bs ana 7abaitek w abeek enty tkounen fe 7yaty" he softened.

"I.. Uhh.. Magdar magdar." I spoke nervously the only name echoing in my mind was 'Laith'.

"Aish elly ma tgdereen? Tkounen 7abeebty, a56ebek, atzawajk.. Sahla! Akoun lk w enty ly" he tried to persuade me.

I gathered up all my courage, "Sa3ad magdar, mabeek"

"Aish? 3eedy??" he voice was getting higher.

"Mabeek" I repeated quivering.

"LA TKATHBEEN ADRY ENK T7BEENY!! BS ENTY TBEENY A'3EER 3ASHAN KTHA R7TY 3ND LAITH.. ENTY T7BEENY W ANA A7BEK FAHMA" he yelled as he came closer to me; closing the distance between us.

"Sa3ad ana ma a7bk" I said as tears streamed down my face.

He held my wrists tightly, "ELLA T7BEENY!!"

"Laa ma a7bek 5alaaa9!!" I said with the last shred in courage in me.

"Ma t7beeny ajal? A3aref enek t7beeny la tka4been!" he paused for a second as if to recollect his thoughts, "ba5aleek t7beeny"


And with that he forced his lips on mine..

"You were my best friend, not anymore" 

-

The shocked look on his face was priceless. "Wha-aat d-do y-ou m-mean?" he stuttered.

"Hmm.. what do I mean? I don't want to see your face ever again! That's what I mean" I replied harshly.

"Why?"

"Are you seriously asking me that question? I think you already know the answer, now can you please leave Laith and I alone? I can't stand seeing your face, I feel like I need to puke every time I see it"

"As you wish" he said with a broken expression on his face.

As soon as I saw that expression I softened. I regretted every word I said as I saw him walk away. Me and my stupid blabbering mouth. I should've stopped myself from talking back. I feel so guilty..



Strong arms were wrapped around my waist, his chest was stuck to my back. I tried to remove his arms but he just held me tighter.

"Laith what are you doing?" I asked.

"Holding you" he answered as he planted a soft kiss at the back of my head.

"Laith, I feel so guilty for treating him that way"


He stiffened, he was breathing heavily near my ear. His hands now turned into fists. He let go and turned me to face him.


"You shouldn't feel guilty. Elly sawalek mu shway" he replied trying to steady his breathing.

"Bs 7etta lw, ana glt lah kalam gwy. W mo el mafrou'6 akalma b hathy el 6reega" I justified.

"Kan el mafrou'6 t3amleena aswa2 mn kitha!"

"Mahma 9ar hw ybga mn a3z a97ab o5oy w hw akbar mny lazm a7terma shwy"

"WAIN T7TERMAINA ETHA ESLOUBA MA3AK KAN ZFT AWAL?!!" he yelled.

I shook with fear, I couldn't even speak well, "bss h-ww ak-bar m-nny"

He finally calmed down after seeing my fear-stricken face, "Shahooda moshkiltek hy enk 6ayba, tbeen t5aleen kl a7ad far7an w ma tfakreen b nafsek. 3ashan ktha ana hina, abeek tkouneen as3ad bnt bl 3alam. w Sa3ad mo ga3ed yfar7ek, bl 3aks ga3da tet'6ayegain mna, w mabeek tkouneen mt'6ayga. Asef eny 3a9abt"

"La 3ady.. We'll do whatever you think is best for me" I replied still not convinced by his words. I still felt like I should apologize for what I said to Sa3ad.


"Now come here baby, I want to feel you close to me" he spoke with his arms spread wide open.


I ran to him as he wrapped his comforting arms around me. The arms that made me feel safe and secure. The same arms that held me whenever I cried. The same arms that carried me to the nearest couch when I slept. The same arms that never failed to comfort me. I love him, I really do.


He kissed my forehead as I looked up at him. I let go of his neck and put my hands on his chest, while he held my waist tighter. Staring into his deep dark brown eyes takes me to a whole different universe. A universe so beautiful, so real.


"Laith" I whispered.

"Yes baby"


We spoke in hushed voices as if we were afraid that anyone would eavesdrop into our sacred conversation.


"I have something to tell you." This is it, I'm confessing my love. I can't keep it in me anymore.

"What is it princess?"


"SHAAHAAADD LAAAIITTHH TA3AALOO" an annoying Sara was yelling from the chalet porch.


Moment ruined. 


We both let go of each other and walked silently together to the chalet, our hands intertwined. As soon as we arrived Sara and Salma pulled me to our room.



"Sooo... Whaat happened?" Salma asked.

"Nothing happened" I replied.

"DO NOT LIE TO US MISSY! You were walking on the beach with my BROTHER and SA3AD.. Talk about a blast from the past" Sara added.

"Well.. uhmm-" I was interrupted.

"SPEAK!" They yelled in unison.

"Okaay okaay.. I said some harsh things to Sa3ad like 'We aren't friends' and that I never wanted to see him again. He was sad and left without a word, I felt guilty. I told Laith that I wanted to apologize. We got into an argument, then we resolved it. That's about it."

"LIAR!" Sara yelled, "THAT'S NOT ALL"

"Yeah Sara said that you guys had your arms wrapped around each other and it seemed that you were going into a deep conversation" Salma added.

"OH MY GOD!!" Sara yelled.

"What?" I spoke.

"YOU LOVE HIM" Salma added.

"YESS!! BTKOUNEN ZOUJAT O5OY" Sara cheered.

"Haay haaay! shga3deen tgoulon? Ana ma7b Laith hw zy o5oy" I lied.

"La tkathbeen.. We know you're in love" Salma said.

"No b-"

"Uh uhh.. Don't even try to deny it, it shows on your face" Sara added.

"Ughhh.. okay fine I love him" I gave up.

"OMG.. OUR SHAHAD IS IN LOVE" They both shouted.

"Shh.. yes I love him. And if you *Looking at Sara* didn't interrupt I would've told him by now!"

"Oh.. Asfaa walla asfaa mara7 a3eed'haa!!! Btgoulen lh 9a7?" she said.

"Eee bs mo al7een.." I replied.

"Banat it's 12 AM .. shraykom enam?" Salma suggested.

"Eee yalla"

Each one of us jumped on her bed and slept.




*2:30 AM*

My heart fell.

The only word coming out of my mouth, barely a whisper:

"Sa3ad"

-


I stood there unable to move. I couldn't speak, I couldn't blink, I couldn't breath. I was paralysed. Why is he here? Wasn't he happy with Wajd? He didn't want to see me. I remember that day very well; the day he left me to be with her. The difference is I was his best friend and Wajd was his girlfriend. He walked away from everything we ever had, everything we ever shared, everything we were. Why did he come back?

"Hey there Doodi, miss me?" Sa3ad asked.

"Wha-aat?" I said confused. Why is he acting normally? Why is he nice? 


"Shahad? Mara7 tsalmeen 3alla Sa3ood?" Bandar asked. Bandar? I turned my head to look at the living room, everyone was there; Bandar, 5alid, Fahad, Sara, Salma, and finally Laith. I had my eyes on Laith as soon as I walked in that I didn't notice the rest. They all had smiles on their faces happy to see their long lost buddy except 5alid and Laith they looked angry. If looks could kill then Sa3ad's corpse would be lying on the floor by now, because of how angrily they were staring at him.


"Shahood? shfeek?" Bandar asked again, "Shaklek lissa ma9dooma.. haha"

"Umm.. hey Sa3ad" I said casually.

"Afaa.. You're not going to hug your bestest friend in the whole wide world?" he smirked. What the HELL is going ON?! Maybe he's just pretending in front of the guys? I really hope so.

"Uhh.. Okay?" I was weirded out.


He hugged me tightly squeezing me into his chest, I hugged him back lightly. As soon as we let go Laith was by my side. I stared deeply at Laith's eyes, his eyes burned with flames of anger, I knew if I didn't do anything soon then he would punch the hell out of Sa3ad. I walked two steps to Laith and hugged him tightly my hand in his hair, the other around his neck. He squeezed me closer to him, inhaling my scent calming himself down, but his muscles were still tense.


I whispered in his ear, "I won't let go, forever." His muscles finally relaxed, and he just sighed remembering our promise this morning.


The whole room went quiet just looking at us. I looked up to see 5alid smiling. Why is he so happy? We finally let go of each other, but I still wanted to be between his strong arms. Laith was genuinely smiling, that drew a smile to my face, he kissed my forehead and wrapped an arm around my waist. We looked up to see Sa3ad with a shocked expression on his face, that quickly changed to anger. Laith held my hand and said:

"Come on princess, let's go for a walk on the beach"


Sa3ad's angry expression turned to a shocked one again, then a hurtful one. I knew that he remembered our memories, and how he used to call me 'his princess', well not anymore.

"Bandar can we go for a walk on the beach?" I asked.

"Uhh.. sure sweetie" he replied.

"Fe a7ad yby yjy?" I asked the whole room. Laith gave me a death stare, obviously not wanting anyone with us. But I just smiled.


No one answered, so he pulled me to the door, our hands still interwind. As we reached the door, a voice spoke:

"Ana bajy" he had an evil smirk on his face. I glared at him and Laith pulled me to his chest.


Sa3ad walked over to us his whole appearance screamed trouble, I gave him a fake smile. I held Laith's hand and started walking, while Sa3ad was trailing along.


*


15 minutes have passed and I'm going out of my mind. It's been 15 minutes of silence. 15 minutes of walking aimlessly. 15 minutes of pure agony. I keep feeling that Laith is going to jump on Sa3ad and punch him so hard that he won't remember his name. Uggghh when will anyone speak?? This is just TOO akward. 

"Laith where are we going?" I asked.

He smiled at me, "Nowhere specific. I just want to feel close to you."

I blushed. As I was thinking of a reply Sa3ad chipped in, "Na7no hona"

We both glared at him.

"Hey Doodi do you remember when we used build sand castles and competed. Whoever had the best one wins?" Sa3ad asked.

"Yeah." I replied warmly reminiscing old days.

"You remember how I used to make my castle horrible on purpose so you could win?"

"Yeah.. old times." I said with a faint smile.

"I had your back when we were kids, and I still do" he said shocking me to the core.

"I don't need your help. I'm completely fine by myself, and if I ever needed help I'll ask Laith" I replied coldly.


I felt someone squeeze my hand, when I looked up I saw Laith smiling at me. His adorable smile takes me to cloud 9. He makes my heart skip a beat when I'm with him. His simple gestures never fail to make me feel special. I can't wait to tell him that he's the one. He's my one.


"What happened to us Shahad? We used to be the bestest of friends, why are you so bitter? Why won't you let me in? After all, I am your best friend." Sa3ad spoke.


As he said those words everything in me boiled with fury. Didn't he know the pain he caused me? The sleepless nights? The crying? The heartache? HE was the one who walked away, not me. And now he's acting as if nothing happened. What the hell is wrong with him? I never want to be near a jerk like him ever again. So I replied to him with a simple answer;


"You were my best friend, not anymore"

I heard him whisper quietly:

"I love you"

Then I drifted off into a blissful sleep.

-


I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Ughh it's so annoying! Who's calling me at this hour?! Sara.. I should've known. I answered the phone unwillingly;

"Aloo" I said sleepily.

"YOU'RE STILL ASLEEP?!" she yelled.

"mmm"

"WAKE UP!!! YALLA"

"I'm up, I'm up!"

"Yalla elbsy we're on our way"

"Who's we?" I asked confused.

"Laith, Salma, and I" she replied.

"Why's Laith coming? I thought this was girls getaway day?"

"Bandar didn't tell you did he?"

"Tell me what?"

"I guess I'll have to tell you.."

"TELL ME WHAT?!"

"Bandar invited the guys"

"WHAAAAT?!! WHY?! I WANTED THIS TO BE GIRLS' DAY" I yelled.

"Well too late, the guys are already in your house."

"Ugh.. excuse me while I go kill my brother, bye"

"Bye"

-End of Call-


I got dressed and went to the kitchen in a fast pace, Bandar was looking for something to eat in the fridge.

"BANDAAAAAAAAR!!!" I screamed.

"Halla b e5ty el jameela" he replied.

"LAAAIISHH TE3ZM EL 3YAAL?! KNT ABY YKOUN GIRLS' DAAY!"

"Sorry.. bs esht'haina njy" he added cheekily.

"BANDAR MA Y'6A7EK! YMKN EL BANAT MA YRTA7OUN 3NDKM??"

"Yrta7oun! enty 3azma Salooma w Sara! Dayman ng3d m3hm"

"UGHH .. I HATE YOU!"

"I love you more sweetheart"


I heard a few laughs behind me, when I turned around I saw Fahad and 5alid.


"OMG!! Entu knto hina?! BANDAAAR" I yelled and started chasing him.

The guys continued to laugh while I was chasing Bandar. After a few minutes we both got tired so we all sat in the living room watching TV.

"WEEE'RREE HEERREEE" Salma jumped giddily to the living room with Laith and Sara following her.

"SHAHAD" Sara and Salma screamed. They both ran to hug me, and we all fell to the ground because of how strong we hugged each other. The guys just fell to the ground with laughter.


Laith carried me off the ground as he said:

"Where's my hug beautiful?"

My face turned into 50 shades of red, while the guys started yelling things like "ooooh" "ee5ss" "9arat 6oma6a"

Laith just laughed at them and pulled me into his chest.

He whispered in my ear, "I missed you"

"It's been a day" I replied.

"That doesn't mean I won't miss you" he paused then continued, "besides, I know you missed me"

"Yeah I did you idiot"

-

We split into two cars; the girls with Bandar, and the guys with Laith. After 15 minutes of annoying Bandar with our screechy sounding voices we arrived.

I went inside the building feeling warmth wash over me, this used to be my favorite place in the world. But then grief decided to remind me of all the childhood memories I shared with Sa3ad in this place. I stepped outside to meet my amazing best friend, the ocean. Yes we were in our chalet.

I suddenly felt arms wrap around my waist and pull me close, I knew immediately that it was Laith.

I inhaled his scent as he kissed the back of my head. He then said, "Go get dressed, we'll get the jet skis out"

I ran to my bedroom and wore my swimsuit with shorts. When I went down I was surprised to know that the guys left me alone with Laith in the Chalet.

"La kan ga3adty akthar" he said smiling.

"Wain el bageen?" I asked.

"Sara w Salma rkabo m3 b3'6, 5alid w Fahad m3 b3'6, w Bandar ra7 l7alh"

"W ana arkab m3 meen billah? " I was pissed. I MEAN HOW COULD THEY LEAVE ME?!

"7mar wagef gidamek? Btrkbeen ma3ay" he replied.

"La shokran maby arkab"

"Shda3wa, it's just me. w tarra sa2alt Bandar lw 3ady trkbeen ma3ay w wafag"

"Madry"

"Yalla 3ad Shahood"

"uhh"

"Iff mara7 ag3d sina ant'6rk!" he ran over to me, picked me up on his shoulder, my head was dangling on his back and he was holding my legs.

"LAAITTH!! PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed surprised.

"No"

"LAAAIITHHH!! DOWN!! NOW!!"

"What if I don't want to?"

"LAAAIIITTHHHHH!!"

"I'll put you down only if you promise to ride with me"

"Laaiitthh" I whined.

"Shaaahaaad" he mocked me.

"Ughh fine"

He still didn't put me down, instead he changed the way he was carrying me. My head was on his chest, my hands around his neck, and his hands tucked under my knees (The same way a groom carries his bride).

"You said you'd put me down" I pouted.

"But I can't" he replied.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes, now tell meee" I nagged.

"It's because you're my princess, and princesses shouldn't walk on dirty sand, they should be carried" he paused for a moment, drew his breath then said, "It's also because I like having you between my arms, even though you make my heart beat uncontrollably when you're near me. You make me feel invincible, that's why I'm holding on to you and I won't let go, forever."

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise what?"

"You won't let go" I justified.

"I won't let go of you baby, forever" he promised, "now enough of that. Let's have fun"

He placed me on the jet ski behind him. I clung on to him as he sped off, inhaling his lovely scent.

Nightfall:

Jet skis with Laith was more than amazing, we laughed, played, hugged, even swam for a while.

I got out of the shower, wore a lovely navy blue dress that reached my ankles, and left my hair open.



I headed downstairs jumping, full of joy and life. I was ready to confess. Confess to Laith how much I love him, and how deeply I fell for his amazing smile, his dimples, his jokes, him. Laith, what have you done to me?



I entered the living room to see Laith with a furious facial expression on his face, looking at someone next to me.

I looked at the person next to me.

My heart fell.

The only word coming out of my mouth, barely a whisper:

"Sa3ad"

"SHAHAD?! LAITH?!"

And let the havoc begin ..

-

I got off of Laith and stood up, laith followed. His face red with anger towards the person infront of us. The person that caused me nothing but misery. The person that made me cry for many sleepless nights. The person whose name is 5alid.

"Uh.. Na-aa-3m?" I said stuttering. 

"MA TST7EN YA 8ALEELAT EL ADAB??" he yelled.

"5alid ehda, mu lazm ydroun 3anna kl el jeeran" Laith spoke doing his best to keep his cool. 

"W ENT YAL 7AYWAN! KAIF TETJARA2 T5AWY E5T 9DEEGK?" he continued yelling. 

"5alid efhamny, 5alny ashr7 lk el salfa. Lw sama7t" I said holding back my tears. 

"MA Y7TAJ TSHR7EENLY AY SHAY! ENTY 8ALEELAT ADAB! AHLK MA RABOOK ZAIN! 6AYA7TY SOM3AT 3A2ELTK KLA 3ASHAN WALAD MA YST7G!" 

That made me boil with rage, "ANA MA AST7Y? ANA GLEELAT ADAB? LW ENK SAKET W FAHEM EL SALFA KAN MA GLT HAL KALAM! BANDAR YDRY ENENA A97AB W MWAFEG! ANA MO M5AWYA! W AHLY MA RABOONY 3ALLA KITHA! W ANA MA A7TAJ ABARER LK! MA 3NDK AY GEEMA FE 7YATY! EL MARRA EL JAYA GABL MA TETFALSAF W T9ARE5 EFHAM EL SALFA!!" 

I was out of breath and tears were streaming down my face like waterfalls. Laith pulled me into a hug and played with my hair. 

"Ra7 7abeeb el galb Sa3ad ja Laith, tetnagalain bain el 3yal shaklk.. Mta yjy doury?" 5alid spoke with rudeness. 

I was shocked by his words. I let go of Laith and looked at him in disbelief, my tears unable to stop. Laith held him by his shirt and spoke calmly but danger was detectible in his voice, "E7terem nafsik w e6la3. Shahad taj foug rasek w etha 8alait adabek 3alaiha ana b3almek el adab.. fahem?" 

5alid just nodded in fear. 

"Yalla ethlef w maby ashouf ashouf rag3at wajhek marra thanya" Laith let go of 5alid. And 5alid the wussy ran out of the house. 

I continued to cry while Laith sat on the grass and pulled me to his chest, playing with my hair.

"Shh.. baby don't cry" he whispered calming me with his deep voice. 

"I'm here, I'm not leaving" 

"I'll always protect you baby" he continued. 

"Laith? Shahad?" someone suddenly spoke. 

I turned my head to see Bandar standing there with a shocked look on his face. I tried to struggle out of Laith's grip but he held me tighter to him.

"Aish ga3deen tsawoon? Laith laish ga3ed t5mha (hug)?" Bandar spoke trying to keep his cool until he saw me crying. 

"SHAHAD SHFEEK? LAISH T9EE7EEN?" he ran to me worried, I shook my head and nuzzled into Laith's chest. 

"Laith sawait laha shay?" he asked, anger in his voice.

"La walla ma za3alt'ha, hathy salfa 6weela. Bngoulek el salfa bs mo al7een." Laith replied. 

"La gool al7een" Bandar insisted. 

"Bandar walla bngoulek bs 5alny shwy m3 Shahad, lw sm7t" he asked.

"Okay bs btgolounly. Ana bl duwaniya lw tboony" with that, Bandar left. 

Laith tightened his grip while I nuzzled his chest, that drew a smile on his adorable face. 

"5ala9 Shahoody la t9ee7een" he spoke calmly. 

Laith pulled my head out of his chest and wiped my tears with his thumbs saying, "Baba la t9ee7een 3ashany.. dmo3ek '3alya 3alay" 

He kissed both my cheeks and my forehead. Pulled me closer to him and sang: 

عمري ما فكرت فيك - عبدالمجيد عبدالله

عمري مافكرت فيك وماخطر في البال حبك
لين قلبي قال ابيك وقالت عيوني احبك ..

صرت عندي اغلى شي واغلى من نفسي عليّ
مالك بقلبي شريك بعد مافكرت فيك ..

كنت اشوفك من بعيد مع جميع الناس عادي
ماتخيلتك حبيب رايح بقلبي وغادي ..

قمت افز لشوفتك واتحرى جيتك
انتظر حبي الجديد بعدما فكرت فيك ..

لا تعجب من غلاك مثلك احساسي تعجب
وانت في يدك هواي مهتني ولا معذب ..

ياعساني منحرم انت يااغلى اسم
لاهجر العالم واجيك بعد ما فكرت فيك 

His melodic voice made me feel sleepy and woozy, I heard him whisper quietly:

"I love you"

Then I drifted off into a blissful sleep.
