Chapter 37

 I walked back to the hotel

Thinking maybe I was wrong about giving him a chance and falling in love

I never knew that love hurts that much

Yes I was hurt

I knew he tried keeping her away

But he didn’t follow me

He stayed there with her

Maybe he still loves her?

Or maybe he just still have something for her but not love?

But no he wasn’t looking at her the same way he looks at me

I just need someone to talk to

I miss juju

My mum and dad

My brothers and sister

I miss my family

I wanna go back home

I reached the hotel and took out my phone and bbmed juju

Me: hey juuuj you’re at home??

Juju: yes babe whats wrong??

Me: wait I’ll call you I need to talk to someone

Juju: sure

I called her and told her everything w 6ab3an I cried w sawait drama

Me: ok fine I love him .. yes I do and it hurts ina after loving him a3arf all this shit about him

Me: no juju I cant go tell him oh hey 5alid I love you and I feel jealous and hurt after what I heard !!!

…: 5alid loves you too

Me: shit juju I’ll call you back bye

5alid’s P.O.V

I waited for 15 minutes and then knew that she wont come back

So I just payed and left the restaurant

I went back to the hotel but when I reached I had call from work

After ending my call I went to the room

She was talking on the phone

Afra: no juju I cant go tell him oh hey 5alid I love you and I feel jealous and hurt after what I heard !!!

Me: 5alid loves you too

She wiped her tears away and ran to the bathroom

But before closing the door I held it

Me: I love you 3afra

She turned red w nazlat ras’ha

I just kissed her head

5alait’ha 3ala ra7at’ha

I just kept playing with her hair

And she felt a sleep

I kept looking at her face until I slept

Waking up and not finding her next to me scared me

I searched for her but didn’t find her

I tried calling her

But her phone was at home

Ufff

Where did she go

I called the reception to ask when did she leave

And they told me at 7:30 !!

And its 10 o’clock now!!!

I checked her blackberry if she talked to someone telling them where’s she going

But nothing

Minutes later sharfat 3afra

Me: wain knty?!!

The bellrang

3afra: go open the door I guess there is something you wanna see

I opened the door to see the man holding the supermarket bags

I asked him to keep them in the kitchen and he left

I walked back to the room bs 3afra wasn’t there

She was taking a shower

Afra’s P.O.V

After taking a shower I dressed up and decided to go shopping

I left the room to find 5alid sitting on the couch watching tv

5alid: wain sayra?

Me: shopping

Me: mb chana we came here cause you have work?

5alid: yes 3ndy bachr not today

Me: ok fine you can join

I sat on the couch waiting for him

It only took him 2 minutes to change

He came out looking hot as usual

5alid: yalla lets go

We took a cab to harrods

And started shopping

Il 7amdillah this time he didn’t nag about me buying useless things

‘3ma’9ny shway he was carrying all the bags so I decided to shop for him

After 4 hours of shopping

5alid: 3afoor stop !! I need food

Me: ok fine lets go eat

We went to the restaurant and ordered

While waiting for our food

A young bitchy kind of girl walked to our table

Girl: omg 5aloooodii !!!  maa a9aadg !!! after 2 years achoofk!! W in london !!

______________________________

I went to my seat and got the panadol out of my bag and went back to give him

And got him water out of the mini bar

And went back to my seat

HELLO PARIS!!!

Paris was fun

We enjoyed our time

But 5alid and I were living just as friends

 The second week we went to Italy

Then to bora bora

I ejoyed every minute

On our last day in bora bora

I was packing

5alid: 3afoor

Me: hala?

5alid: ok

Then suddenly I just started laughing

Cause he had this sad puppy face 

5alid: laish t’97keen? Sho y’9a7k  now?

Me: you look like a homeless dog  hahahaha

He threw a pillow on my face

I took the pillow and threw it back

And it turned into a pillow fight

And he came on top of me and starting tickling me

5alid’s P.O.V

Knt fogha

I was just looking at her face while she was laughing

I felt like everything stopped

And she stopped laughing

And for the first time

We looked deeply into each others eyes

I felt like something was pulling me towards her

This time she couldn’t run away

Or I guess she didn’t want to

I just kept on moving closer to her lips

When I was about to touch her lips

My phone rang

3afra: umm.. your phone

Me: this time I’m not letting you run away

And I touched her lips

For the first time

We kissed for minutes but it all seemed like a second

I didn’t want to stop but my phone rang again

I went to answer my phone and she just ran to the bathroom

Me: alooo

3amoor: il 7ub sh7alk?

Me: walla knt b5air

3amoor: afaa am I interrupting something?

Me: well yes bs 5ala9 3ady

Me: agool 3moor ijlb wayhk ana il ‘3al6an ila yals agoolk

3amoor: laa 5alaaa9 tell me about it ? what do you feel when you do it bl 7alal?

3afra’s P.O.V

I went out of the bathroom

5alid was talking on the phone and I don’t think he realized that I’m out

I sat quietly and continued packing quietly

5alid: 3amoor wall achy ‘3air youm you kiss 7rmtk … ya3ny chy il sh3oor ykoon wayd ‘3air 3an il girlfriend …… ya3ny you know I kissed a lot bs ya3ny with 3afra it’s different … ya 7aywan mb million just 6 !! … inzain yalla salm 3al ahal .. bye

I couldn’t believe my ears

He kissed girls gably

That just made me feel disgusted

I felt like vomiting

My eyes began to tear

I just continued packing with my teary eyes

5alid: umm 3afoor mn mta inty hny?

I just couldn’t answer

I didn’t even turn to see his face

I felt him walking closer and closer until he was standing infront of me

5alid: 3afary

He sat infront of the bag

5alid: 3afra balach?

Me: nothing just let me pack bachr il 9b7 6ayaratna go sleep I’ll pack your stuff

5alid: inzain I’ll help you pack your stuff and then you help me with mine

Me: NO!!! leave my stuff alone and go sleep

5alid: umm inzain ana yo3an ba6lbly 3sha ma tbain?

Me: no bl 3afya

5alid: 3afra balach? Look at me

I just continued packing without looking at him

5alid’s P.O.V

Shit !! laykoon sm3aat !!!

Shit shit shit !!!

Rfa3t ras’ha w I saw tears in her eyes

Ma kanat itchoofny

She was looking the other way

Ma kanat tba itchoofny

Me: 3afary? Balach 7abeeby?

She didn’t talk

Just tears started falling from her beautiful eyes

I jumped to her side and hugged her

Me: hey hey hey what’s wrong? Laish it9ee7een?

She pushed me away

3afra: nothing bs ta3bana I’ll go sleep

She just took the couple of shirts that were out and threw them into her bag and walked to the bed

Layed down

And covered herself

I couldn’t move

I knew she heard me talking to 3amoor

I was thinking how to explain what happened to her

When I saw her walking to the bathroom

Me: 3afraa

3afra: baseer atsaba7 3ashan ma nt2a5ar il 9b7

I packed my stuff quickly and layed down

She came out with her eyes red

I knew that she was crying in the shower

She layed down beside me and gave me her back

I tried hugging her but she just pushed my hand away without saying anything

And then she started crying silently

I swear I could hear her cry

I slept on the sound of her heavy breaths from all the crying

 I opened my eyes to find her fixing my bag since she always complain about me throwing all my stuff in without organizing them

She was wearing her training suite ready to go

But she looked tired

Me: good morning

She just gave me a half smile

I could see that she was hurt and tired

She looked like she haven’t slept all night

I took a quick shower and changed my clothe

When I was done she was sleeping on the couch hugging a pillow

She looked so peaceful I didn’t want to wake her up

But I had to

Me: 3afary

She opened her eyes looking totally lost

Me: yalla 7abeeby lets go

I stood up and held her hand she just walked with me looking lost

I checked out and went to the airport

All the way to London she was quite and didn’t eat anything

All what she did is tear up and wipe her tears quickly

She tried hiding them from me but I saw it

I hate being the cause of her pain

I tried talking to her but I just couldn’t do it infront of people so I had to wait till we reach our hotel in London

Chapter 34

First I'm SO SORRY!!
I know mga9ra wayd..
