Rebound Chapter 18: The smell of Coconut

   "MAMAA.. listen to me pleasee. I know the guy is probably great and all bs laish al7en intaw mo9reen ina i get married aw i think about it. I dont even know who the guy or his family are." Aseel walked into Razan's room rubbing her eyes. She woke up from her sleep to the sound of a very upset Razan speaking on the phone. She knew it was about the guy ili yaby ya56bha.

   Razan took one look at Aseel and tear began to fall down her face and her eyes were screaming confusion and pain. She walked up to the bed and just sat there. Within 5 seconds Razan placed her head on her lap and continued speaking with her mother. Aseel took her phone and texted 7amad informing him of what is happening but he didn't reply.

   The call between Razan and her mom ended and Razan was crying really hard now. She was scared of loosing 7amad. She was sacred that if the find out the guy is great she would agree to please her parents. She couldn't believe her luck. "Aseeellll... shswe what if he's a good guy w ygwlonly mdam ma 3ndch a7ad w mdam you have no good reason to reject him go for it w a5tha to please them!! what about 7amad?? Abyyy! A7bbaa!!"

   She was panicking. Aseel knew there was no way her parents would force her into this bs ham 9a7 kalamha itha ilrayal mafe shay w ehya ma3ndaha 3ethr mu8ne3 laish tarftha. "Baabyy come down tkfain 3awartay galby.. Inshala mako ila il5air w mara7 ta5then wa7d mu mn n9eebch. Please stop crying Razan 3shan we think together w enshof shno enswe."

   They suddenly heard the apartment door open and slam shut. "RAZZAAN!" It was 7amad. Razan looked at Aseel and all she did was smile back and she knew Aseel called 7amad for her. She got off the bed and ran to the doorway and through herself into his arms. 7amad felt like she was too weak. She has no strength to hold her self up so he picked her up. She felt tiny in his arms but she perfectly fit. It was made just for her. It was custom made to fit her petite little figure. No one else would fit in these arms as perfectly as her.

   He carried her over to the big couch in there living room and sat down with her still in his arms crying her eyes out like there was no tomorrow. "Razan.. ana ams w bl hospital shno gltch? Mo glt ra7 as3dech w mara7 a5lech tz3len lo dgega wa7da as long as im living? Bs stop crying 3ashan 5a6ry. Itha i mean anything to you please stop crying." He was whispering those words into her ear. He didn't force her to look at him and didn't want to force her to stop crying but he had to say something to calm her down.

   His voice alone was soothing to her. It sounded like a symphony. It was the best thing she has ever heard in her life. She held her breath as an attempt to stop her sobbing and tears but she was still shaking. She lifted her head up and looked into his eyes. His beautiful eyes were in pain. They were sad. She has never seen so much sadness in someone's eyes. It made her hurt even more. She realized that this would effect him more than it would effect her.

   "7amad i want YOU, don't let them take me away from you.... please" She said please in the lowest voice possible. 7amad's heart ached at her words. If only she knew what he was willing to do to stop them she wouldn't have said that. "Ya ba3ad galb 7amad no one will take you away from me. Your mine, all mine. Ma7ad ra7 ya'39bech tzawjain a7ad intay matbeena. Its your life. Your decision."

   She dropped her head back onto his chest and just sat there. She listened to his heart beats and then synchronized her breathing with his heart. She felt like they were one. As much as she wanted to stay in him arms and not go anywhere she needed to be strong. She got up, wiped her face with the back of her hand like a 3 year old and smiled at him "Do want to drink anything? Coffee?" 7amad giggled at how strong she wanted to be. "Coffee would be great."


   They spend the next few hours talking about random things and just enjoying each others company. The matter hasn't been mentioned, not once. They were avoiding it for the mean time.

   Until Razan's phone rang. She got up and walked to the table and looked at the screen. It said incoming call Mom. She turned to 7amad and answered the phone. "Halaa Mamaa.." She turning pale. The color began to drain from her face as she heard her mothers words through the phone. "......Inshala mama ra7 i think about it w a9aly, ili tbone y9er....ma3a ilsalama" She calmly placed the phone back on the table and looked up at 7amad who apparently walked over to her without her realizing.

   "Baba ygool ilrayal 5osh wa7d w sma3 3anna kl shay zain.. yboony i think about it w ast5eer...." 7amad thought he completely lost her in that moment. He had no chance now what so ever. Her parents are trying to convince her and there was no way she would tell her parents she doesn't want the guy because she is in love with someone else.

   7amad kissed her on head a long loving kiss. He smelt her hair. It had the smell of coconut with something else. He couldn't put his finger on it but he new it was the best scent he would ever smell throughout his life. "I'll see you later baby ok?" He could not sit there anymore. With that he left the apartment heading nowhere in particular. He just needed to clear his head....

Rebound Chapter 17: Blank

I know its a bit short bs im going to be posting bacher inshala :** 

He didn't know what to say. Why now? Laish someone else yaby ya5b6ha when he already proposed and she said yes to HIM? He was devastated. His mother can't call Razan's mom unless they have spoken to Razan and she says no to the guy. What if she doesn't say no? What then?

   He couldn't think straight. He couldn't sleep. He did not have the to patience to wait to the morning. He picked up his phone again and quickly dialed Aseel's number. He was tapping his foot waiting for her to pick up her phone. "Aloo.. hi Aseel, sorry ini dgait and its very late bs mafeni an6r laima bacher."

   "7amad??" She had just fallen asleep and laima al7en mu gadra tstaw3b. "EE ASEEL 7AMAD! ya3ny mnoo?" He didn't want to loose his temper, it wasn't her fault but he was upset. "Madre 7amad 5ara3tny your calling now.. shfek??"

   "Aseel ana bs2lch so2al w abech you answer me b3dain i'll explain bs hal 7achy ma yo9al 7g Razan lo shno y9er!!" Aseel wanted to burst out laughing at the amount of things 7amad wanted her to keep from Razan. She can't do it anymore. "7amad laish shno fe ba3ad ili matby Razan tadry! 5ala9 you guys are sort of engaged may9er t5shon 3ala ba3ath shay!" They can't start off hiding things from each other and she wasn't really taking 7amad seriously.

   "Aseel did Razan mention anything about nas dagen 3ala omha ya56bonha??" He blurted it all out. He couldn't bottle up his frustration any more. "SHNOO?? 5A6BEENHA??" She quickly sat up in bed and had her eyes wide open. They were about to pop out of her eye sockets. She thought that she must have heard wrong. "Eee Aseel tkfain rakzay ma3ay shfech!! Did she mention anything??"

   "Laa22 7amad she didn't! walla! w lo she knew something like that chan ana gltlek gbl ma you propose aw chan ehya galaltlek gbl ma she says yes! t3awth mn blees 7amad shfek faj2a chthe? mn wain yayb hal 7chy??" He explained to her why he asked her and that his mother was the one who told him.

   "7amad inta mt2kd? mt2kd ina nas dageen yaboon ya56bon Razan? Did your mother say when?" She tried to speak slowly. She didn't want Razan to hear any of this. "Ee walla mt2kd w omi galatly ina ams om Razan 3ndaha w she told her about it w galat she's going to call Razan soon w etkalmha bl mawtho3. Omi ma yabat 6ary ina ana knt nawy a56b Razan la2na may9er ana at8admlaha w already there is a guy mt8admlaha....Aseel tkfain shswe?? what if she doesn't turn down the guy? Aseel mat7aml ashofha etro7 7g wa7d thany..."

   Aseel couldn't think straight. She was still processing the information she just heard. Shlon cthe y9er al7en? Aseel said yes to 7amad i don't think she would accept the stranger. But then again she doesn't know.

   "7amad calm down... Razan said yes to YOU! She loves YOU.. she's not going to accept a guy she doesnt even know w wla marra she met w a9lan omha laima al7en maklmat'ha w mdam its been 2 days she might not even mention it to her." It sort of made sense since her mother hasn't called yet. "I know bs ham ana magdar aswe shay laima at2kd they turned down he guy for sure... mu 7lwa at8admlaha w ana and my mother know ina there is another guy."

   Aseel was confused. She couldn't come up with a solution. "Inzain 7amad they only thing you can do is itha you tell Razan what you know.. Itha bacher her mom doesn't call her you talk to her and tell her omek shno galatlek 3shan you both think together w ba3ad 3shan trta7 w matfakr ina ehya she might say yes."  7amad stayed silent and thought it over. It seemed like a good idea but wait...

   "Bs Aseel.. itha omha ma galatlaha Razan can't call her and ask her itha nas dageen.. ra7 ts2lha how do you know? shno btgwlaha?" She didn't think it through completely. He was right. Razan can't take that step her mother would know that something fishy is going on. "We figure out the next step when we get there.. for now lets just focus on Razan knowing 3ashan ba3dain keeping to your self won't backfire on you w et3a9b ina inta magltlaha.."

   "Ok.. inshala 5ala9 ana bacher ashof sh9er. Aseel please itha 9ar ayshay promise inech you tell. Even if its something i don't want to hear. Just tell me." 7amad kept tossing and turning for hours. He thought about Razan not being his wife. How could she not be his. He doesn't want to wake up everyday and imagine what it would have been like to live his life with her. What will he do? He can't sit back and see another man try to take her. Even thought he was pretty certain she won't say no him now and and accept another man. But still... He knows things can go wrong.

Rebound Chapter 16: Love is in the Air

   7amad reached for the small velvet box that he had set on the floor earlier. He popped the box open and held it out in front of Razan. Her face was beaming with happiness. She was speechless. Her mind was blank. Her heart was beating a thousand miles an hour. She held her breath. 

   She looked down at the ring in the box and gasped. It would not stop sparkling in the moonlight. It was a platinum ring with a central emerald cut diamond. The box from the inside said Cartier. The site of the tiny diamonds on the ring itself and the small but stunning diamond in the center made her gasp for air again.

   She couldn't speak. No words were coming out of her mouth even though in her head she was screaming yes. She began nodding very fast as if she was using the rhythm of her heart to pace her nods. 7amad quickly got on his feet and slipped the ring on her finger.

   He hugged her so tight and lifted her off the ground and began to turn in circles. Her laughter filled the large open space. He could hear the echo of her laughter and it made him smile even more. He kissed the side of the neck and them put her down. She had taken her heals off so she stood on her tiptoes with her arms around his neck. "Aby kilyoum asma3 hal tha7ka.. aw3dech ina as long as you are my wife ra7 as3dech and you won't see one bad day as long as i live." They got lost in each others eyes.

   Razan has never seen 7amad's eyes like this. Never. He was facing the light and his warm dark honey eyes were beaming and glowing at a whole different level. They had dreams and hopes for the future. They had hope and love. They spoke their own language. But for the first time since they met, they were speaking a language she could not understand. She loved the way they looked, it was different. She couldn't wait to learn this new language his eyes are speaking.

   They spent the rest of the night laying down in each others arms on the deck with music in the background and just staring up at the sky. Every now and then she would look at her ring. She couldn't believe the he is going to be hers soon. She kept playing with it and twisting it around her finger. All of the events still hadn't sunk in.

   At about 12 they drove back to the marina and made their way back to Razan's place. They didn't need to speak. They didn't need a conversation. The silence was much better. They just enjoyed their walk and cherished every moment. Neither one of them wanted to forget this day. They wanted it engraved in their memories.

   7amad kissed Razan good night on her cheek and waited till she got in the apartment. He kept thinking She is going to be Mrs Al-Y. He then remembered that day in the hospital when the doctor thought she was his wife. He pulled out his phone, opened a new sms and began typing. He inserted Razan's contact number and then pressed send.

   One message received. Razan looked down at her phone and decided to open the message before going to Aseel to talk about everything that happened that night. She saw 7amad's name on the screen and giggled. It said: I told you there will come a day that i will ask you the question again and you will have to answer. You're going to be Mrs Al-Y and i can't wait for the day people would officially call you that. Goodnight ya 3omry :*. Her heart was fluttering as she read the message and she felt her stomach making somersaults and she remembered the events of the night.

   She took her shoes of and placed them by the door and lightly made her way to Aseel's room and walked in. The second Aseel saw Razan at her door she looked down at her hands and saw the ring shining. She quickly jumped out of bed and ran to her giving her the biggest hug ever squeezing her so tight.

   "YOU SAID YEESS!" Razan was very surprised at Aseel's comment and stepped back breaking their hug. "YOU KNEW!!! YAL KALBAA! you knew and you didn't tell me agaiiinn!! Laiiisshh maglteeelii!" She was mad at her friend but not very mad. "Shlon 5shaitay 3alay yal 5aysaa!!"

   "Lo ma5shait 3laich it wouldn't have been a surprise and it wouldn't have been the best moment in your life w chan mardaitay il bait with stars in your eyes and a goofy smile plastered on your face!! I want to hear every single detail! 7tan lo i knew the plans for the night I want to hear everything." She was very excited and couldn't believe that this happening. It was very quick.

   Razan told her every single detail from the second she opened the door for him to the message she just received and Aseel began to cry tears of joy. "Your all grown and your going to get married! ya far7at omch w oboch lai dagat oma w 56boch."

   "Inshala omy w oboy ywaf8on.... Aseel a7ba from the bottom of my heart. I need this to go right. I want to marry him i can't imagine my life without him or with someone else. Aseel a7baa" Aseel's heart ached at what she saw in her best friends eyes. She prayed for this whole thing to go right, she didn't want her friend to be heart broken. "Inshala allah ytamem 3laikm w yhaneekm w inshala omch w oboch ywaf8on mn awal shay. Intay bs ed3ay w ana inshala ra7 ad3eelkum ba3ad ina allah yaktb ili fe il5air"

   That night both girls went to sleep with smiles on their face. Razan dreamt about their engagement and marriage and Aseel thought about when the right man will come along. She doesn't have anyone in her life right now and seeing how happy Razan is even though she didn't believe in these things before meeting 7amad made her want time to fast forward and for her to meet her Mr Right and to get married.  She wanted to exprience the love she saw in Razan's eyes. 

   7amad went home and called his mother instead of going to sleep. "Abashrech om 7amad.. abech ta56benli ilbnaya awal ma ard 7g ejazat christmas. Ma aby an6r ba3ad a5af troo7 mn eedi"

   "Walla 7amad madry shgolek bs omha galat ina chna fe nas dageen yabon ya56bonha.." 7amad went silent. He couldn't breath. He felt the world around him stop.

Rebound Chapter 15: Full Moon

Here is a verryyy long post for you guys adry glt im posting this morning but i made a few changes to the post fa inshala you like it. I stole the idea of the proposal from a friend and if your reading this you know who you are and THANKKKSSS :*** Promise more regular posts and that i'll be a better blogger (a)

  It was time. Tonight he was going to propose. 7amad hadn't slept all night he thought of all the possible things that could happen. He played out the conversations. Thought about whether she would say yes or no. He kept on reciting his proposal over and over, making adjustments adding a few lines taking out any unnecessary words or sentences.

    He woke up at around 12 since he couldn't still till early that morning. His cast was off so he was able to finally walk normally even though he would get shooting pain every now and then. He had to take a few painkillers throughout the day to minimize the pain for this special night.

   Razan had the best sleep ever. Dreaming about their date and how it would be wonderful! She made a mental checklist in her head before she slept of her outfit anything she might have forgot about. She stretched out as the sun shined on her face.  She liked waking up with the suns heat dancing across her face and body. It always feels like it brightens up her day and she starts off in a happy mood.
  
   She got out of bed and walked into the kitchen and switched on the coffee machine. It was her daily routine. She has to switch on the coffee machine before anything else to make sure her coffee is ready for after she was done with getting ready.

   Razan went to check if Aseel was up or not. Aseel was the type of person that has to spend a few minutes in bed after waking up before she actually gets out of bed but this time she was still sleeping since she has no classes on a friday and it was the weekend. So Razan went into the bathroom and opened the hot water of the shower. She loved starting her shower after the bathroom was all steamy and hot. She walked back into her room to grab her towel and her clothes and headed back into the bathroom.

   After a long, relaxing, hot shower she got dressed casually. She wore dark jeans leggings and a loose white shirt. Razan made her way into their kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee with a bit of warm milk. She took out the bread loaf, cheese spread, turkey slices, tomato and lettuce from the fridge to make her a sandwich before leaving the house.

   She sat in front of her laptop and did the daily routine of switching on her laptop, checking her e-mails and facebook. By the time she had read through all the important emails and scrolled through her facebook she had finished her breakfast and headed out to do get her scheduled manicure and pedicure.

   Razan choose blood red for her nail polish. She initially thought of going for a french manicure but remembered how much 7amad loved blood red nail polish on her. She wanted to make him smile about every single detail she put an effort in.

   After that she went to get her hair trimmed. She had been meaning to do that for a long time and now she had a reason to get it done. She thought that getting it treated would also be a good idea since she was already there. She then went to the library and grabbed a few books that she need for the weekend and then decided to head home since it was already 4.30. 7amad was picking her up at 6.30 and 2 hours is barely enough to get ready.

   7amad spent his ready checking on all the arrangements.  He picked up the ring that he decided to leave at the store because he was scared he would loose it. Picked up the flowers and dropped of one bouquet at the restaurant for their table for dinner and kept the other one to give to Razan.

   He was at home and had just gotten out of the shower. It was 5.30 and he started to get dressed. He ironed his shirt which took him a while since he almost never used the iron. 7amad wore his dark jeans and then carefully put on his crisp white shirt being careful not to cause any creases on the shirt. It was 6:15 by now and so he put his v-neck navy blue cardigan on, grabbed his wallet and keys, picked the flowers, put the ring box in his pocket and made sure it doesn't pop out and left to go pick up Razan,

   "ASSEEELLL!!!" Razan was a bit nervous by now and needed Aseel to help her with her outfit. "Shfech t9ar5en like you're being murdered! shno??" She was silently laughing from the inside at house nervous Razan looked. She couldn't believe that not being on a date for sooo long can actually do that.

   "Albs my black tights wla no?? I like both looks bs what do you think?" Aseel studied the figure standing infront of her analyzing the outfit. When it came to clothes it was her specialty. "Mmmm... ana agool without, it looks a lot better without it."

   "OK... inzain please can you help me put my necklace on, i can't seem to close it properly" After she put her necklace one she took tights and quickly put on her louboutins and through her items in her bag. Wallet check, perfume check, cream check, lipstick check, phone check. Thats all she needed for the night.

   As if on cue the the door bell rang as soon as she closed her bag. She got up and opened the door for 7amad. He looked stunning. Handsome. She couldn't look at him and moved her gaze to the floor.

   "WOOWW.. you look... breathtaking, astonishing, stunning.. how did i get so lucky??" 7amad couldn't decide on what word to settle on. Nothing would do her justice. She grew more mature and beautiful every second. Every hour that passes without him seeing her she changes to a more elegant and gorgeous young woman.

   All that Razan can do was look down at the tiles in the corridor and blush. It doesn't matter if she knew him for a while now she still blushes when he looks at her with words in his eyes or when he showers her with compliments. "You look great yourself." Nothing she was going to say would be better than what he said to describe her.

   "Bas?? al7en i say all these things and all i get is you look great?" He was joking but he liked teasing her. "Yalla ma3lai ana a3arf shlon a5lech tkalmain ba3dain.. awal shay these are for you." He handed her the flowers and he saw how her eyes lightened up at the site of her favorite flowers. He was proud of himself at remembering small details. " Yalla are you ready to go?" She finally looked up and they're eyes met. She nodded her head lightly.  "Ee yalla i've got my bag."

   They left hand in hand. Even though Razan's heals were high 7amad was still taller than her. He was about 180cm, with broad shoulders and large biceps and triceps. He was as swimmer and so her didn't need to go to the gym. He got all the exercise he needed when he would swim. That is why his shoulders and back were very broad. HIs hair was a very dark sandy colour and wasn't long or short it was just right and he had a nice scrufy natural look to it. He had left his bread to grow out. It was a nice length. A bit more than when it is left as a dirty look. It was exactly how Razan liked it.

   They went to the restaurant and were walked over to their table. They ordered their food and they began talking. They couldn't stop laughing. They both loved how easy it was to have a conversation with each other. They never had to try. Before they knew it was 9 and they payed the bill and left.

   "Thank you for dinner 7amad walla i had an amazing time." To her the night was over and she was slightly disappointed. She didn't want the date to end. "Shda3wa maswait shay its nothing i had more fun believe me." She began to turn left to make her way home and she felt i slight tug on her hand. "Razaaan.. wain ray7a? ta3alay this way, the night is not over."

   He caught her by surprise. She didn't expect that he had planned something else for after dinner. She smiled at the idea of the night not being over. "Where are you taking me now??" She knew he wasn't going to tell her since he didn't mention it before. "That is for me to know and for you to find out."

   They walked for about half an hour and she didn't realize they he had taken her by the marina. She saw dozens of yachts and fancy boats. She realized that he had rented out one of these yachts for the night and she felt butterflies in her stomach. That was very romantic of him. 7amad knew how much she loved the sea especially on a night with a full moon. She looked up at the sky searching for the moon and once she found it she let out a slight giggle. She was right it was a full moon.

   "Whats funny?" They had been quiet for the past 5 minutes. Just enjoying the smell of the sea and calm, quiet area they were in. All they could hear were a few tiny boats that would hit the deck every few seconds from the tiny ripples that were being made by the slight wind that is in the air. "Walla shay.. I realized ina you know i love the sea and that you also know ina i love it more on a night with a full moon, so i looked up and found it."

   "I thought you wouldn't notice that.... im glad you did though." He smiled. He wasn't going to tell her about the moon unless she noticed it. "Inzain yalla lets go for a ride. I have the yacht rented for a few hours."
   
"Ok yalla, im excited!! This is as close as i have been to the sea in a year. Which one is it??" Razan was walking and skipping at the same time. she couldn't run because of her high healed Louboutins and she didn't want to take them off just yet.
  
   "5th one down on the right.. be careful lat6e7een!!" 7amad took a few long breathes to calm himself down. He was getting nervous again. Mabuga shay 3ala his proposal. He forgot everything he planned on saying. His speech that he spent all night learning and saying over and over again just flew right out the window. He stopped suddenly and began to panic. Oh God!! What now?? SHHSSWEEE? Shlon i propose i forgot everything i want to say! ok ok calm down just speak from your heart.

   He picked up his pace and made his way to the boat and got on. He started the engine and called out for Razan to let her know he will start driving out of the marina and to sit down, he didn't want her falling on deck. It took about 10 minutes to get out of the marina. He had to be careful since there were yachts everywhere.

   He then drove for another 10 minutes. He didn't want to be too far away from the marina. He stopped the boat. Kept the deck lights on and rolled down the anchor so they wouldn't drift away.

   7amad walked out on front to the deck where Razan was sitting admiring the water, stars, sky and moon. He kissed her on the head and sat next to her. "I didn't know inek t3arf you drive a yacht!" She was surprised at this. "Yeah i used to go with my dad fishing every friday and he taught me how to drive."

   He twisted in place and turned around to face her. He looked her in the eyes. They looked lighter even though it was dark he can tell. They were light grey today with a bit of dark emerald scattered around her pupil. They were twinkling as she stared back at him.

   "Razan... I have something that i need you to know. I can't keep this inside me any longer and need to let it out." He noticed her smile fading and her eyes loosing their spark and twinkle. "Noo.. its not what you think , laish e5tra3tay? Its a good thing" His heart started to beat faster. She thought something had happened. "Ok.. good cause you really scared me...go on"

   He leaned back  and put his hand is his pocket. Razan was watching his every move. Her eyes where filled with questions. 7amad pulled out the small velvet box and placed it in front of her. Her jaw dropped. Her eyes darted back and forth from his eyes to the box.

   "Razan... I had a whole speech planned out for this very moment but i forgot every word and realized no words are good enough to describe you or my love for you. I have never loved anyone in my life as much as i have loved you and no matter how hard or how long i look i will never find someone i want to spend the rest of my life with other than you..." He pulled her to stand. Looked into her beautiful eyes, got down on one knee and said "Razan Al-X will you be my wife?" The moment he finished his sentence a tear made its way down her cheek and her shocked expression began to change.

Rebound Chapter 14: Ready or Not

I know its veeryyy short bs my flight is in the morning and i didn't finish packing and i need to sleep too. I can't post tomorrow because im going to be on a plane bs inshala a veeryyy long post will be ready for you guys on thursday.. ssooorry for not posting for a few days but its been a bit busy enjoooyy :**

  2 weeks have passed and it was time for his check up. His ribs we're fine now and the doctor said his leg was healing well and that inshala in a weeks time the cast is coming off. He was excited that things were going as planned w mabuga shay to THE day.

   Meanwhile Razan and Aseel have spent most of their days shopping. They were shopping for fun and Aseel was hoping that Razan would find something that looks stunning for the night. 7amad had told her that they will be going on a date in a week and since they actually haven't been out in a while she didn't need convincing to go out and buy something beautiful. She wanted to look amazing for him and take his breath away. Its been a while.

   She found a white-cream short puffed layered skirt with a sleeveless black top that has a few ruffles by the neck from Chanel and a black simple cardigan. She matched it with a Pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings that she got from her grandmother as her 20th birthday present. She was going to wear her black pump Louboutins.

   She decided to have her hair curled and tied up in a messy classy bun and for the make up she was going with simple. Eyeliner, mascara, blush and a light purply lipstick. She can already imagine what she will look like on the day. She couldn't help but smile. She couldn't wait for their date.

   7amad on the other hand asked Aseel to go with him shopping that day after his appointment because he had no idea what he wanted to wear for the day. They went to several places and they were at Ralph Lauren looking at their shirts.

   "7amad shfek wla shay 3ajbek.. i swear hal 8amee9 lona 3ajeeb! w tadry ina Razan loves shirts on you!" He had tried on a navy blue shirt with the Ralph Laurans logo on the left side and the sleeves fold up to reveal the white fabric underneath. It was very classy and he looked very elegant in it.

   "Aseel la mara7 albs a navy blue shirt ma3a dark jeans. It won't look nice, dark with dark... madry i'll see itha fe other colors" He didn't want to look to dark. He went to almost every store and nothing her saw he liked. He wanted to look nice for Razan. He wanted the day to be perfect!

   To his luck the shirt came in a crisp white color. He liked how the olive logo on the left looked against the white shirt. He went for it and decided to also stick to the dark jeans he had bought for the night.

   He also decided to wear a long olive sleeve v-neck blouse since it was cold. Everything was ready. The reservations were all made. All the purchases have been picked up and the ring was going to be ready in 2 days. He smiled at the thought of the ring and how it would sparkle on her finger.

   "Aseel akeed she is going to like the ring? What if its not what she imagined her engagement ring to be shlon?" He began to freak out a bit. He wanted her to be blown away by every single detail and the most important detail was the ring.

   "Walla ra7 ya3jbha.. believe me, just look at her face once she sees it w gwl Aseel ma galat ina her jaw is going to drop a million times."

So Close But So Far Apart

 Sorrrryy i didn't post today bs i was soo busy :s we had this photoshoot thing that we went to today and it was fun but took sooo long w kan 7AAARR! and the guy asked me if i wanted to model for him :$ bs gltla im going bak home in 2 days and then he told me lama i come back LOL anywayz since i didn't post today this a random post 7gkum w inshala bacher ra7 i post bs i've been doing last minute things gbl ma ard ilq8 :S

HERS:
   She was standing there. As soon as he got in her heart skipped a beat. She held her breath and couldn't inhale. Her head dropped down and her hair covered the left side of her face blocking out his view of her face. His smell was filling up the elevator. His heat was warming up the place. She could hear his breathing. His presence alone brought life to the closed up elevator. She began to feel moisture in her eyes. Her blinking quickened trying to fight away her tears. The attempt was a failure and the tears began to rapidly fill up her eyes. 

   Her lips began to tremble. With every  ounce of power and strength in her she stopped the tears from rolling down and from gasping for air. The worst part of it all was being so close to him and feeling him looking at her but she couldn't touch him. She couldn't turn around and get lost in his eyes. She couldn't walk up to him and place her lips on his soft loving lips and allow him to take her to a whole different place. His smell was killing her. His presence was hurting her. 

   She couldn't stand this anymore and wanted to get out but she was stuck in this elevator with him. She couldn't go anywhere before the doors opened. She heard him move his legs. Her heart skipped another beat as the thought of him walking up to her and placing his hands on her skin filled her head. She felt goosebumps and a shiver run up and down her spine. 

   Oh how she would love his hands to touch her skin. She closed her eyes for a split second trying to shut out all of these thoughts. The elevator pinged signaling that they have reached their floor. As she opened her eyes her tears began to make their way down her cheek and she practically ran out the door before he could say or do anything. She never knew she could be so close to him but feel so far away and it was the most painful feeling she would ever experience.

HIS:
   The doors opened and as soon as he looked up his eyes saw her. His soul found its match. His heart found its source of energy. His body found its warmth. He walked in and stood behind her to her left. Her hair blocked his view of her face. He  tried to stay as calm as he possibly could. He tried to prevent himself from reaching out to touch her. 

   He wanted to turn her around and hold her so close to his body but he couldn't. That would just hurt her even more. He wanted to move closer and just breath in her smell but he couldn't do that either. He knew it would be dangerous to be that close to her. He wouldn't be able to control himself. He needed to be close to her, he wanted her, wanted to touch her to get his thinking back into order. To get his heart to beat regularly again. To get his eyes to feel like they are seeing normally again as they look at her beautiful features and her deep eyes. 

   He wanted to lift her up and kiss her. Only after he has kissed her would be be able to breath again. She had this effect on him. He fidgeted in his place trying to put himself together and stop thinking about her. He knew if he tried to do anything right now he would only be hurting her even more. As he looked up to the ceiling trying to distract himself he heard the elevator ping. 

   He looked back down only to find the doors opening and her rushing out. He ran out after but as soon as he stepped out he stood there. He knew she was crying because she was still hurting and being so close to him hurt even more. If only she knew how more it was hurting him not to being able to hold her in his arms to comfort her. He let her walk away. Being in that elevator with her is as close as he could get to her for the time being.

Rebound Chapter 13: Finalizing Decisions

NA hope this is long enough w inshala ya3jbkom ilpost :** ENJOOOY!

 
"Hi good morning, I would like to make dinner reservations for friday the 20th of this month please...yeah.. 2 people... It is Hamad Al-x.. yeah i would love my usual table.. 7 is perfect... ok thank you" 7amad woke up before Razan and decided to make a few arrangements. He planned things out in his head and figured 3 weeks would be more than enough to make sure everything is perfect and hopefully his cast would be taken off. He started with the dinner reservations and thought it would be a good start to the evening since they haven't been on a date for a while.

   He then called the flower shop and put down an order for her favorite flowers, blue-purple and white-cream lisianthus. They always need time to be brought in and arranged. Suddenly her remembered something. He needs to speak to his mom first. He wanted to know that if Razan did say yes his parents won't refuse ina yr7on ya56bon ilbent. So he quickly dialed her number and impatiently waited for her to pick up. After what seemed liked ages she answered him with a big hi.

   Salam 3laiha and asked how she and his dad were. He made sure his sisters and brother were doing fine. He had 2 younger sisters. Sarah is 14, Reem is 9 and a baby brother 5alid who is only 5. After his mother had him she had a lot of difficulties with getting pregnant and so there is a 10 year gap between him and his sister and also between the rest.

   He loved his siblings so much and especially 5alid. Since his dad was always busy with work 5alid looked up to 7amad and thought of him as a father figure which only made 7amad get more attached to his younger brother. It also broke his heart when her had to leave him 2 years ago to move to America to study.

   "Youma, b'3aitech eb salfa mumha shway itha mu mash'3ola?" His heart started to beat. He was sitting out in the balcony with the door closed. He didn't want Razan waking up and hearing any of the arrangements he was making. "Halaa 7bebi shfek? Ofcourse im not busy, afthalek mdam 3ndek salfa muhma, inshala 5air? gool.." His Mother was a bit worried. She didn't know what to expect.

   "Walla madry shgoolch bs ana nwait atzawaj w b'3ait a5th rayech bl mawtho3 gbl ma aswe ayshay w at2kd mnech ina intay w oboy ma3ndkum ay mane3 ina ta56bonly il bnaya itha gltlkum ina abeeha 5ala9, maby aswe shay bdon rthakum" He wasn't sure what to say. His mother never opened the subject of marriage because she knew her son very well. When the time was right and when he lays his eyes on the girl he would come and talk to her about it. She was so happy. She was ecstatic and her a huge smile formed on her face.

   "Hathy ilsa3a ilmubarka ya 7amad, akeed ana obok ma3ndna mane3 w nadry ina inta mara7 t5tar ila ili wa7da ili dashat galbek w erta7tlaha.. mno hal bnaya ymkn en3arfhom aw shay, ba3ad tadry il kuwait 9'3eera kilman y3arf ilthany." She couldn't wait to know who her son has picked to be his wife. She started praying for him eb galbha ina allah ywafga w ysa5rla ilbnaya ili e5tarha.

   "Esmha Razan Al-Y w ehya tadrs ihne eb nafs iljam3a w masma3t 3anha ila kil 5air mn awal ma yait." He didn't want his mom to know they are in a relationship even though she was very understanding and would still approve but he didn't want them to know for Razan's sake. At the end of the day he doesn't know might happen. He might not get what he wished for and he doesn't want people to know ina they were dating because that wouldn't be good for Razan later on.

   "ya7lailha ehya bnt Al-Y?? Uhma 5osh nas w 3ayla san3a.. matdry mno oboha 7amad?" She knew a lot of people from the Al-Y family. "Embala, oboha M7amed Al-Y"
He didn't know if her mother knew them or not but he was hoping she did. "Ee a3arfhum zain.. murta a3arfha 9arle 30 sna w mn a3az rfejati, walla inhum 5osh nas w oboha mashallah 3lai rayal ma tsma3 3anna ila kil 5air w 3yalhum mtrabeen a7san tarbya w ilkel ytmanahum, ana agool twakal 3ala allah ana w obok emfaw8en. Muta ma tbena endg 3la ahal ilbnya bs 3a6ny 5abar. Wain alga bnaya a7san mn bnt M7amed Al-Y 7g wldy."

   He felt a huge weight was lifted of his chest and was relieved. His mother was over the moon happy and couldn't believe that her eldest son has decided to get married. This is every mothers dream. To see her kids get married and start their own family.

   So after 7amad got the approval of his parents her continued with the arrangements. He had one more call left to make and he was hoping this call would go well. He picked up his phone one last time and looked through his contacts for the name. He pressed the dial button and started at the screen waiting for the call to be connected.

   "Aloo.. hala 7amad" It was Aseel he was calling. He needed a huge favor from her but he had to make sure she would keep her mouth shut and not say one single word to Razan or the whole thing would be a mess. "Ahlaan.. shlonech?" They exchanged formalities and he then told her that Razan fell asleep last night and how she freaked out this morning and Aseel couldn't stop laughing at her how her friend reacted. "Mn 9jhaa?? ambaay walla hal bnaya et'tha7ak i don't know what can get into her sometimes."

   "Inzain Aseel... I need to ask you a huge favor bs gabl ma i ask you lazm you promise me that you will not tell a single soul about this and that you will not say one word to Razan. La2na if you do i will you hunt you down and kill you haha" He needed to hear her say that this won't get to Razan and this conversation will stay between them

   "7amad allah yhadak 5ara3tny shfek?? I won't tell anyone i promise bs gool sh3ndek?" He scared her a tiny bit. What has happened now that he didn't want Razan to find out. "I'm going to propose to Razan in 3 weeks"

   "9JJJ?? E77LEEF?? oh my god! oh my god! this is awesome! she is going to be SOOO happy!! waay 7amad im so happy for you both!! don't worry mara7 agoolaha shay 3shan ykon a7la surprise."

   He explained to her what he need from her. He needed her to go shopping for the date because if she wasn't dressed properly Razan is going to bite his head off after for not being properly dressed for the occasion. So he made sure Aseel took Razan shopping and anything she buys is on him. He explained to her what he wanted the night to be like and what he planned on doing.

   Aseel approved of all of his ideas. They were so romantic. She has never seen this side of 7amad before and made her excited. She was happy for him and after all she did think of him as a brother and every girl would be incredibly happy if her brother decided to get married.

   "Bs aby mnech shay wa7d ba3ad please, abech you come with me ring shopping. I want the perfect ring. I can't propose without the perfect ring and i need you to help me decide what to buy and also for the ring sizes. Intay w Razan have the same ring sizes 9a7?"

   "La2 Razan is one size smaller than me bs inshala ok akeed ra7 i help you. We'll find the ring that screams Razans name together." She can already imagine the ring Razan would want on her finger. They have actually talked about what they want their engagement rings to look like so she has a pretty good idea of what to look for.

   "Inzain 3ayal thats good.. 5ala9 ana ashof how things go and as soon as my ribs are completely better we start ring shopping" They said their goodbyes and made sure she doesn't say a single word or even drop hints.

   He got up and grabbed his crutches and made his way back to bed where Razan was sleeping. He slowly and lightly got into bed making sure he doesn't wake her up and he just laid there. Looking at her, taking in all of her features. It felt like it was the first time he has really looked at her even if it wasn't.

   Her long wavy light brown hair was fanned put behind her. Her flawless fair skin was so soft. Her eyelashes were so long and thick and they curved upwards. And her lips, her full pink luscious lips that have been luring him in for so long now were so relaxed and seemed like they were lightly smiling. He reached out and stroked her lips gently which made Razan smile. He didn't know if his action made her smile or if she was just having a very good dream. He didn't care as long as she was smiling.

Rebound Chapter 12: Good Morning Sunshine

ENJOOY :**

"hahaha none of your business!! yalla get dressed!" She laughed at him and walked out of the room. 7amad finished getting ready and called for the nurse to bring him his crutches. They signed the discharge papers, got his medication from the pharmacy and headed back to his place.

   "7mdilla your fine 7amad, next time keep your eyes open when you cross the road you idiot!" Aseel was making fun of 7amad. She couldn't believe he just crossed the road without looking. "Haay haay... lat6anzain, A LOT of things were on my mind at that moment don't blame me." He said that sentence while glaring at Razan with a big smirk on his face. "na3aaam! woow its not my fault you didn't use your common sense and looked both ways before crossing"

   "Anywayz 7mdila ina your fine now.. Razan i'm going home btrden ma3ay wla shno tben etswen?" It was getting a bit late and the day was eventful. "La intay rday im going to stay here, 7amad might need something during the night he won't be able to do it himself." She didn't want to leave him all alone, she was worried that he would hurt himself trying to do everything on his own.

   "Baby its ok you don't have to stay, go home rest i'll be fine it's been a long day w intay 3ndech jam3a bacher lazm trta7ain." He kissed her head and didn't expect her to disagree with him. "Ok 3ayal atleast let me stay until you feel like sleeping, I'll help you change and get into bed, latnsna ildoctor gal ina lazm mata3b 3omrek 3shan your leg and ribs heal properly." 7amad smiled at how thoughtful she is. Wain alga wa7da nafs Razan, I can never find a woman who cares as much as she did. When will she be mine and only mine!!

   So she did exactly as she suggested. She helped him get changed and wash up. She also made some soup and a light dinner, he must be very hungry. Things began to heat up between them but they remained in control of their feelings. Neither one of them wanted anything to happen as much as they wanted to experience the closeness.

   Razan helped 7amad make his way to bed and tucked him in. He suddenly felt like he was a kid again. When his mother used to tuck him into bed every night, make sure he was covered properly and kisses him good night. "Razan..." 7amad slowly held her hand, he wasn't ready for her to leave yet "Please lay down her with me for a while.. a few minutes, before you leave" Razan was a bit scared of what things might lead to but  she knew 7amad wasn't the kind of guy that would that.

   She crawled into bed and laid down next to him. It was warm and it felt so good to be in her baby's arms. He stroked the side of her face and looked deep into her eyes. "7amad i just wanted..." She wanted to apologize one last time, she had no idea why she wanted to but it felt like she should. 7amad placed his index finger on her lips "Ssshh don't say anything..please" So she didn't she laid there in silence. Staring into each others eyes. A few minutes later he fell asleep and before she knew it she was fast asleep next to him as well.

   She woke up the morning with the biggest smile making its way across her face as the sun shined on her face and the scent of 7amad filled up her lungs. She has never slept as peaceful as last night.

   Suddenly she sat up and jumped out of bed. "7ammaadd, 7AMAAD!" He woke up scared and shocked. He didn't realize that Razan slept next to him the night before. "WHAT?? SHFECH??"

   "I can't believe i slept.. Aseel is going to KILL ME!! I didn't go home and i didn't even call her... dammn where is my phone!!" She was panicking. She just had this feeling that Aseel would freak out if she doesn't find her in her room when she wakes up.

   "Razan.. Razan... RAZAANN!!" She wasn't even listening to him. She tuned out and was in her own world now. She always did that when she was panicking. She heard him the last time and snapped her head towards him. "What???"

   "Come back to bed... Aseel will be fine, she's going to figure out that you stayed her...Just come back and lay down next me.. please" The worried look in her eyes slowly began to fade away once she realized that this actually wasn't a big deal. It wasn't a big deal at all.

   She walked back to bed and got under the covers. "Ok good, because i am tired and i don't want to leave your arms just yet." He smiled at her, kissed her head and scooped her into is arms gently so he wouldn't hurt his ribs. "Go back to sleep 7bebti, its still early." This is it... I'm going to propose soon.. very soon. I want to wake up every morning with Razan between my arms.

Rebound Chapter 11: Out In The Open

I just want to clear things up with the date la2na i kind of confused myself LOOL *hands on face*
SOO.. 3 months after 7amad broke up with Jenna he met Razan and they've been dating for about 8 months now. :D
and with the colors:
Razan: pink
7amad: yellow
Aseel: green
any one else that is in the post for while is going to be blue.
anything in italics is their thoughts
enjooooyy :**

   Razan was beyond relieved, she was able to take a deep breath and to relax every muscle in her body. She hasn't realized how tense her body has been the past few days. She was surprised that after that night she hasn't lost it again. He hurt her in so many ways and she felt betrayed but now she knows he never would do that.

   "After that day lama I bumped into you in the library, I didn't mention anything to any of the guys bs uhma 7asaw ina fe shay 9ayr because apparently they thought i was happy all of a sudden." His eyes were twinkling as he remembered what it was like when he first met her. She did change him from the moment he laid eyes on her. He really was happy.

   "Fa marra after i was speaking to you outside the campus the guyz called me w galoly aroo7 ag3ad ma3ahm at the coffee shop. Awal ma dshait chan ystalmony w yg3don ygwlon mab'3ait you talk to her w mn hal 7achy because they saw me standing with you. Nasser kan ga3d ma3anna and he had no idea what they were going on about fa sa2lhm chan yg3don ygwlon ina 9arlhm 3 months y7awlon ina they fix me up and always say no w after they saw how i was looking at you they tried to convince to talk to you w a5eeran i got the courage and all that."

   He was sort of laughing as he said that because it was a bit funny when he remember how Nasser turned that whole conversation into him using Razan to get over Jenna.

    "So you seeee... Nasser misunderstood the whole situation w I'm not mad at him la2na uhwa faham ina they pushed me to get to know... w bs thats the whole thing. 3araftay laish he told you what he told you??" He touched her chin lightly trying to get her to smile

   He loved her eyes. They are the doors to her heart and soul. He loved their color, they were beautiful. She can never hide anything from him because he can instantly know everything as soon as he looked at her eyes. They speak their own language and that moment they are speaking of the love she holds within her and about the guilt she is feeling for coming up with her own conclusions and not giving 7amad a chance from the beginning.

   "Razan.. I dont want you feeling bad for anything that happened. I can see it in your eyes. Ana 3aref laish intay you reacted that way and i don't blame you. I don't blame you at all." He gave her that billion dollar smile of his to reassure her. "I love you w 3omry mara7 aswe shay jr7ech, As long as I am with you ra7 aswe kilshay in my power ini as3dech w aray7ch." Razan dipped her down "I'm sorry, I love you too..."

   "Yalla help me get up and change 3ashan aroo7 i sign the discharge papers and get out of here." He tried to sound positive. She jumped up from the bed excited that 7amad is getting out finally! She skipped her way to cupboard and pulled out his roll-on suitcase and carefully folded his clothes and placed them in the bag. She pulled out grey track pants and a white t-shirt and his navy blue ralph lauren pull over since it was cold outside.

   "Yalla 7bebi i help you get you legs over and help you put your shirt and pull over on w ba3dain a6la3 3shan you put your track pants on w itha you need help with that i'll call the nurse." She couldn't help but notice how he was looking at her with this look that she can't understand. It was  new look, one she never saw in his eyes. It made her feel funny. She began blushing, she always feels more aware of herself when someone just looks at her as she does her own thing.

   "7amad stop looking at me please tadre ma7d a7ad y6al3ny chthe!" He let out a quick laugh and then looked away. If only she knew why i was looking at her like that. I can't wait until she's mine, all mine. Until we can live under one roof together. I love her so much i wish she could know how much i love her i can't think of a spectacular thing to do other than propose that she would love, i don't want to scare her off.... i guess something will come up in time.

    She took his shirt off carefully without hurting him folded it and placed it to a side. As she turned back to face him their faces were so close. All she could see where his eyes that were focused on something. He was concentrating on something else. He was looking at her lips. It was the first time she ever saw this look in his eyes. It was a look of need, love and something.. something she couldn't recognize, it was lust.

   They have never kissed. 7amad was scared that he would hurt her is some many ways. He always treated her like a rare fragile porcelain doll. He didn't want to break her and was scared. But this time he just couldn't peel his eyes of her lips. They look better then ever. They were full pink and luscious. How was he able to control himself around her.

   He saw the movement of muscles in her neck and throat as she gulped. It only moved him even more he wanted to reach out and touch her soft skin but he didn't. "eemm.. 7amad..." He quickly snapped back to reality and moved his head back to look at her. "Hmmm.." That was all he could say, he lost all his words, he forgot how to speak for a few seconds. "Shfeech?"

   "Yalla put your shirt on 3ashan a5alek talbs your track pants." She knew what he was thinking but tried not to show it. As much as she wanted him to make the move she still thought it was better that he didn't

   He lifted his arms up so she could slip his t-shirt on. Razan sneaked a look at his perfectly sculpted body. It was so muscular, not too muscular that it puts you off, just the right amount of muscles. She smiled as a thought slowly creeped into her head. My man is smoking hot and then she blushed a bit. "Shfech your blushing chthe??" She was surprised, she can't believe he caught her blushing at her own thoughts.

Rebound Chapter 10: Warmth and innocence

Sorry for posting so late bs i had a long day. I didnt re-read the post because im exhausted and really need to get to bed fa itha fa ayshay '3ala6 please 6awfaw :s
Oohhh annd 7mdila i did ok on my last exams! can't believe it's finally over!! good luck any of you who have exams! allah ysahl 3laikm inshala :**
 
Razan left the room and walked towards the seating are. She saw saw Aseel sitting on the chairs with her back towards her. She walked up to Aseels back and smacked her on the head real hard.

   "AAAAYYYY!! What was that for 3awrateeeniii!" Aseel quickly got up and turned to face Razan with a shocked and surprised face. "Thats for lying to me!! Shlon matgwlen ina 7amad bl mustashfaaa! YOU KNEW ALL ALONG!" Razan was mad at Aseel but not fighting mad. It was the kind of mad that you can laugh at during the situation. Et3arfon lama et3a9bon bs ina mu mn galb em3a9ben chthe..

   "Razzaann ya3ny shno tbeni agoolch! you know how you are and with everything that happened bainkum ma knt abech et7aten aw t5afen! i was doing you a favor" She explained looking at Razan with large puppy eyes t7awl taksr 5a6rha.

   "You and those puppy eyes. One day ra7 you try that look on someone w mara7 ya36ech wayh bshof shlon btaksren 5a6rhm wakt'ha! I know why you did bs ya3ny shfteeni i was worried ina 7amad mayaby yshoffnyyy!" She joked with Aseel to lighten up the air. "Ee bs uhwa ma kan ybeeni agoolch w plus i was trying to calm you down and talk some sense into you as much as i could bs ma mnech fayda!" Aseel tried to annoy her a bit 3shan t'th7ak shway

   "You want another smack on the head?? Shaklech embala tbeen!"
   " NNOO.. i dont no thanks no smacking.. inzain sit down, gwleli sh9ar bainkum??" She couldn't wait to know if things are better between them.

   Razan sat down beside her and took a long deep breathe trying to relax after that long conversation with 7amad. "He explained his relationship with this Jenna girl he used to know who how what happened bainhum w shlon she lied to him and that after they talked things through they broke up l2na he couldn't trust her again w shlon after that the guyz tried to fix him up with girls and all w awal ma sa2lta 3an shno Nasser galy chan ydsh il doctor and asks me to step out so he can do his check up."

   "So you didn't clear everything up laima al7en! 9arlkum sa3a ga3den w laima al7en he didn't explain, ooff 3la broodkum ana ga3da ihne a7atekum, ga3da 3la a39aby w intaw ga3den etsolfon eb kil brood!" Aseel was beginning to become frustrated because she wan't to make sure they don't break up, they can't break up. They love each other too much.

   "Shfech wayd msta3eela hahaha 9bray shway everything is going to happen bs be patient!" Razan kanat ga3da t'th7ak 3ala Aseel because she was more nervous than she was.

   They talked about random things as they waited for the doctor to leave 7amad's room. A few minutes later the nurse came out and asked Razan to come back into the room and that the doctor finished with the check and is just giving some information to 7amad.

   "Aseel ta3lay ma3ay, mnha etsalmen 3la 7amad w mnha 3shan ma ag3ad broo7y walla im worried about what 7amad is going to say." She tried to convice Aseel even though she knew she wouldn't be coming. "La Razan this is a conversation between you two and should have it alone mala da3y aye ma3ach. Besides 7amad y7bech w akeed Nasser 9j 6ala3 '3al6an bl 7achy."

   Razan got up and slowly walked back to 7amad's room. As soon as she stepped in the doctor looked up and smiled at her which made her blush deeply. She walked across the room and stood besides 7amad's head. Once she stood 7amad reached up for her hand and interlocked his fingers into hers.

   "So, I just explained to Hamad that he has rest at home for 2 weeks atleast and not to over work himself especially with his bruised ribs. He has an appointment in two weeks time for a check and also to get another x-ray of his leg to make sure the bone is healing properly. Im hoping things would go as expected as long as he doesn't strain himself with any unnecessary movement." The doctor explained to her what 7amad should and should not be doing and then he said a sentence that completely caught her off guard and she was not expecting.

   "Take good care of him Mrs Al-X, he really needs it at the moment" He winked at her. Razan didn't realized how many shades of red she turned and she looked to the ground saying "Ofcourse i will doctor don't worry about it" Right as the doctor walked out the door.

   7amad squeezed her hand and was uncontrollably smiling. "3jebtch Mrs Al-X?? Do you want to be called that one day? Mrs Al-X" He couldn't help but asked since the subject was opened. "Hmm?? masma3tek..." She tried to act as if she didn't hear him but that wasn't going to work.

   He pulled her infront of him and she sat down facing him with her head dropping down and her eyes lost on the tiles on the floor. "Embala sma3teeni and you heard me well." He lifted her chin up with his finger trying to get her to look at him. "Do you want to be called Mrs Al-X one day? Mafeha shay answer with your heart."

   Razan didn't want to say yes, especially that right now she doesn't know what actually happened. "7amad laish ga3d ta7rejni mala da3y chthe... im not going to answer you" Her voice was very low and her face was a very dark shade of red.

   "5ala9 dont answer me al7en bs ra7 eyi youm ra7 ard as2lch and i expect and answer" His voice had this tone to it. A happy yet evil tone to it. Chna 3raf ina by saying that he is causing her to blush even more.

   "7amad... I really need to know itha 7che Nasser is true or not. Please i've waited too long i need an answer galby ga3d ytga6a3. This hurts to much!" She asked him one final time knowing that he has to answer her. "Salamat galbech yal '3alya" He placed a soft kiss into the palm of her hand which sent chills up and down her spine. "6al3eeni.. lift you head up and look at me please, whatever Nasser told is NOT true, it is nothing like what he made you believe.

   She looked straight into his eyes. She forgot how much she loves his eyes and warm they are. She can get lost in his eyes for hours and hours. They looked genuine, innocent and pure. They possess love, care, passion and kindness. She believed him. She believed him because his eyes where already beginning to explain things to her before his lips even opened to speak.

Rebound Chapter 9: Birds and Trees

This is a veeryy long post sorry itha tmloon w intaw tgroona bs adry ina you really want to know what happened between them and i got a chance to write this sooo here you gooo! enjoy :***

   "laa2 la2 laish the tear! 7beebti intay don't cry.. maby ashof dam3a thanya... don't make me get up w ayelch" His heart ached when he saw her tear. She can't cry. "LAAA2!!" she shouted back before realizing it was a bit too loud. " laa2 dont get up! you'll hurt yourself! bs i wont cry.." Her voice was so soft and low. She tried so hard to keep her tears from forming. She didnt want him moving one inch. She didnt know what was wrong with him bs matbe he moves. 5ayfa ina any movement would cause him pain.

   "Thats my girl... ta3alay please, walla i've missed you, 5al ntkalam maby ng3ad cthe za3laneen 3la ba3ath.. it hurts me to see you chthe.." He tried lifting himself up but his chest was too painful. His face was expressing his pain but he didn't say anything. She quickly ran by his side and held him so he could support himself and sit up properly. She couldn't take it more. Her tears were running down her face freely now. She was worried, she didn't know what happened and why he is in the hospital.

   She felt bad. She felt guilty. How could she think 7amad didn't want to see her. She knew he isn't that type of guy bs he hurt her. She was hurt because of what she heard and she thought it as true and the only thing that made sense to her was that he wanted to avoid explaining anything to her because it was all true.

   He turned his head and so all the tears on her face. " laish laish?? mu glna mako crying?? Razan please stop shfech tabchen? ma a7b ashof dam3a tanzl mn 3ainch!" It was killing him knowing that he was the reason for her tears. He knew she was hurt because of him and her seeing him like this now wasn't helping. But it wasn't what it seemed. He wasn't using her.

   She sat down and hid her face on his lap and cried some more. He didn't say anything. 7amad let her cry 3shan trta7 shway w t'hda so they can discuss things. He was playing with her hair. Wrapping strands of her hair around his finger. Lama she stopped crying and calmed down 7amad slowly pulled her hair away from her face and stroked the side of her face. " 7beebti look at me.. please rf3ay rasch w look at me walla ga6a3tay galby.."

   She did as she was told and lifted her head to look at him. She saw pain and guilt in his eyes. But it was the kind of guilt that showed her he was upset at himself for putting her through this. " Why didn't you tell me inek bl mustashfa.. laish inta w Aseel lied to me?" She spoke with so much pain in her voice.

   "Because i knew that was how you would react awal ma you find out and i don't want you crying and worrying la2na im fine w im just here as precaution w ilyoum ba6la3." He tried to explain to her somehow instead of staying calm she was mad. "FIINNE?? you are NOT fine! ! You have a broken leg you chest is all wrapped up! you have STITCHES on you face and  HUGE ASS BRUISE ON YOUR FOREHEAD! that is not finne!" How could he call himself fine! has he even seen himself in the mirror!! 

   She was breathing heavily now and was very mad! "a9lan from when have you been here?" He looked at her not wanting to answer because she is going to flip out even more. "Min ams il9ub7 bs im fine em5aleeni as precaution bs to make sure nothing goes wrong.. shfech Razan laish kil hal 7chy walla im fine babe.." He tried reassuring her but it wasn't working.

   "Min ams!!  w Aseel tadry wla galat!! uurrgghh!!" She punched his thigh.. She thought it was a hard one but she wasn't very physically strong so he wasn't hurt but he decided to tease her shway. "Ouucch! al7en ana mt3awr w et6geeni! al7en shlon they discharge me if they notice something new hurting??" Her eyes widened. Did she really hurt him. " Haa?? I'm sorryy! i didn't mean it walla bs narfaztoony"

   "Hehehe you didn't hurt me ga3d a6afrech" She smiled at him realizing he was making a fool out of her. Suddenly she stood up. She remembered ina mu mafroth tg3ad th7ak she was still mad at him. She still needed her explanation. In her head he still lied to her about things. She took a few steps back. He was looking at her. Wrinkles formed on his forehead as he was looking at her confused at the sudden cahnge. Faj2a she stood up he didn't understand. "Shfeech??"

   "Why did you lie to me 7amad? Laish chthe swait? 9j you were using me to get over...her? I need an explanation.. aby a3arf the truth please." She was hurting all over again. She remembered the day she went to him and was mad and crying. How she suddenly hated him and couldn't stand the site of him. She doesnt hate him now bl3aks al7en 3rfat ina t7ba and that will never change but she still needed the truth.

   " Inzain laish r7tay b3eed ta3alay rday g3day 5al ntkalam.. Walla im going to honest with everything and you'll know that i wasn't lying and everything you heard is not true.. intay bs come back here and sit down" 7amad wanted her to sit down 3shan he looks her in they eye w ywglaha kilshay. 3shan tadry ina uhwa ga3d ygwlaha il9j. If she saw in his eyes that everyting he was saying was genuine she would understand.

   She went back to her where she was sitting and looked at him. She was terrified of what 7amad would be saying. What if it was true, what then? what is she suppose to do. 7amad began speaking and asked her not to say anything laima he finished. He wanted to explain everything, from to a to z, without leaving one single detail out. He told her about Jenna, about everything from how he met her and how much he loved her and that he was going to speak to his mom 3shan ya5a6bonha.

   With every word he spoke Razan's heart slowly began to break into pieces. It was awful listening to the person you love speak about someone he once loved. She saw it in his eyes, he really loved this Jenna.

   He explained everything to the last conversation they had and when he broke it off. She was looking away. Staring out the window as he was explaining things. She noticed how bright the sun was and how the trees were a gorgeous shade of green. She saw a tiny bird jumping around the tree branch. It look extremely happy. She wished that she could fly.

   Razan wondered about how the sky was like up there. Where the birds fly. A place where they were free and could fly and twist and turn. A happy place without limits. She wanted to fly. The bird jumped of the branch and flew up into the sky. She wanted to fly with that bird.

   She was listening to every word 7amad was saying but she couldn't look at him while he talks about his ex girlfriend that once upon a time he loved dearly. She looked back into 7amads eyes. He stopped talking. He said everything he needed to say about Jenna and how much she hurt him.

   "3 months after i broke up with Jenna i was still miserable. The guyz tried everything they could come up to help me get over her. Dont get me wrong i did but i was still hurting ya3ny it was a long time. They tried fixing me up on dates and hooking me up with girls but i wouldn't let them. Being with tonnes of girls won't help me. It's not right. Fa marra we were sitting in the cafe by the university and you passed by. I was in the middle of a conversation when i just froze and stopped talking. My eyes followed you. They couldn't stop looking at you. You were beautiful, stunning. Something about you was pulling me in."

   He stopped for a second and laughed. " ilshabab shafaw how i was looking at you w shlon faj2a i stopped everything and my eyes followed you until you were out of site w g3daw yth7kon 3laiy.. wla mara 9ar feeni chthe, 7tan with Jenna.."

   Razan couldn't help but smile at what he just said. She never knew that. That she did that to him. He really loves her. She knows it now. She just saw it in his eyes. "Inzain kaml..." So he did. He started explaining that the guys began teasing him trying to convince him to ask her out. 7amad told them it was ridiculous, why would he ask someone out who isn't even arabic why go there and that he didn't want to be dating. He is over Jenna, he doesn't need to be with another girl to forget her.

   "Bs i couldn't stop thinking about you madry laish, i just kept thinking about who you are, where you're from, everything i couldn't stop thinking." He held her hand and squeezed it.

   "Inzain ya3ny the guyz eventually pushed to into asking me out after they found out ini kwaitiya?" She was scared, she almost told him not to answer it but he already opened his mouth to speak. "6ab3an la2 Razan.. That day i bumped into you bl library knt laima al7en ma adry mno intay bs lama 6a7aw your books sma3tch tgwlen shay bl 3araby w staw3abt inch kwaitiya w esta'3rabt la2na ma7ad kan yadry inech kwaitiya w don't even look arabic."

   She felt a bit relieved even though it didn't explain anything bs ham she was relieved somehow. "Ok so umm... what next 7amad.. laima al7en ma fahamt laish Nasser would say those things 7amad"

   He sighed and looked at her. " aaa55 3la Nasser allah ysam7a bs.." he was about to continue when the doctor walked in to check up on 7amad. "Razan babe please can you wait outside 3ala ma y5al9 b3dain enkaml?" She nodded and got up. He pulled her back and planted a soft kiss on her hand and smiled at her and made her way out.

Rebound Chapter 8: Ward 4 Room 36

   By the end of the next day Razan was beginning to get mad at the fact that 7amad still didn't call or message her to meet up and discuss their situation. "Aseel ya3ne mu ma38oola ilyoum he's busy ba3ad!! y3ne ams kan 3nda meeting at the estate agents ok 6awfna, ilyoum sh3ndaa?? itha mayaby he discusses this situation 5al ygool bs la yg3ad he acts like he doesnt even care about what i heard!"

   She was very hurt and expected this from anyone but 7amad. She couldn't imagine why he didn't call by now and began to really believe that yesterdays reason was actually an excuse to avoid the conversation they would end up having.

   "Razan 7beebti, be patient stop getting mad. Matdren shno '6rofa today 6awlay balech w inshala when the time is right ra7 tg3don together and talk about anything you wish to tell him. Please calm down mala da3y kil hal a39ab." Aseel was trying to reason with her. She couldnt come up with any more excuses. She used every excuse in the book to cover up for 7amad being in the hospital but Razan was growing impatient and nothing else Aseel is going to say would calm her down.

   "Im not getting mad bs ya3ny its starting to hurt. The idea of him avoiding me really hurts. Shno ya3ne ma 7awl he explains anything to me laima al7en. Ya3ne uhwa 3ajba ina ana al7en ga3da w im thinking ina he used me to get over some other girl??" Her voice sounded like it was beginning to break but she tried as hard as she can to fight back any tears that are forming.

   "5ala9 intay wait laima tomorrow morning. Itha he didnt call you text him and tell him you want to discuss hal salfa la2na mu 3ajbch ilwath3 chthe ok??" She looked at Razan hoping she would accept the idea. All she did was nod in agreement while her eyes shifted to the window and her thoughts began to trail off. Aseel didnt want to disturb her so she decided to get up and make them sandwiches with some coffee for dinner since Razan has been refusing to eat properly la2na she lost her appetite.

   As she was making the sandwiches she managed to text 7amad bdon ma Razan et7es eb shay. Galatla ina Razan was losing her patients w ina lazm tadre inek bl mustashfa. He wasn't going to be leaving before noon the next day and he has to go home rest. After a few messages he replied telling Aseel to bring Razan to the hospital the next day without letting her know what had happened. She was to tell Razan that she needed to get her blood test results and once they were there she would go up to is room and explain everything.

   It seemed like a good idea. Razans mind would be at ease afterwards knowing why he didnt call and it would all happen without her worrying about 7amad. She is going to mad at 7amad and Aseel for doing this and lying but it was for her own good. Atleast she will find out after she has seen him w t6aman ina he is fine and it was just precaution keeping him in the hospital.

   The next morning Aseel woke Razan up and told her that they will be having a girls day out. Breakfast, shopping, coffee and then maybe some more shopping. She hated lying like this but she needed Razan to get out of the house with a convincing plan of the day so she could take her to 7amad.
 
  They both showered and got dressed. They both looked pretty even with the minimal make up. Aseel looked different than Razan. Somewhat the opposite. She was taller and thinner with thick dark brown hair. She was naturally tanned and had wide brown eyes with a small nose and full lips. She was beautiful mashallah and she doesnt have to try. People are always surprised when they meet them because of the difference in their looks.
  
   So after breakfast and a bit of shopping it was about 11.00 and Aseel decided it was time to take Razan to 7amad. " Razan please do you mind if we pass by the hospital al7en. Fe a blood test i have to pick up, abe aroo7 gabl ma ysakron il lab."

   She hoped that was convincing enough. "Ee akeed shda3wa.. yalla lets go al7en ba3dain enkaml shopping, come on la nt25ar 3al lab..." Aseel smiled. That wasn't so hard. 7mdilla the hard part was over and she will be able to relax after things clear up.

   They made their way to the hospital which took about 15 minutes. As they entered Razan was reminded of why she hates hospital. The smell of the place always made her feel sick. The walls, beds, gowns and everything around her was white. As much as white should be a soothing, pure color. When she sees them in hospital she always feel disturbed and uncomfortable.
  
   As white and clean as a hospital can be it is a place that possesses and holds pain and illness inside its walls. It expresses sadness and loss. She can never feel happy in a hospital even though she knows that new lives are born in hospitals. That families expand and become happy in hospitals. She can never find that happiness and peace between these 4 walls.

   As her thoughts trailed off the signs hanging from the ceiling with the all the different departments and wards caught her eye. The lab was on the right but Aseel seems to be walking into the left corridor. " Aseeeel... the lab is this way shfech, look at the sign." She just thought that Aseel took a wrong turn.

   Crap, i didn't see that coming, damn what am i going to say!!  "Umm.. yaa ee adry bs ana broo7 to the doctors office gelt a7san a5th'hum mna 3shan he reads me the results. These tests are very confusing i never know what they say." Her heart began to beat faster. She feared that Razan would notice the fear and worry in her eyes. "ohh ook...hahaha 3baly you forgot your way" Razan bought that because it seemed reasonable.

   They kept walking until they entered ward 4. Two minutes later Aseel stood infront of Patient room 36. " Razan.. im sorry about all this walla ma knt aby i lie bs i had no choice but to do that.. Go in you'll understand what i mean." Suddenly Razan felt confused. She couldn't understand what Aseel meant. Lying? What was she lying about? Whats going on??

   She stood there staring at her with a blank face. She was very confused. "Aseel shga3da etgwlen? Lie about what? what the hell is going on?" Aseel smiled back at her and said "Just open the door and walk inside ra7 tfhmen what i mean bs dont forget ina a7bch and i wouldn't lie unless i really needed to" She winked at her and walked away to go wait at seating area.

   She turned around slowly opening the door. Her heart began to race. Her body was so hot she was scared. She didn't know what to expect. When she walked in and took a look at 7amad in that bed with a huge cast on his leg, her heart skipped a beat. She gasped for air and stood there. Froze right there and couldn't move or take her eyes of him.

   He had a huge bruise on his forehead and stitches on his right cheek. A large piece of bandage was wrapped around his chest. " Hi Razan.. come in shfech im fine ta3alay g3day... pleeasee" 7amad was smiling at her until he saw one single tear roll down her left cheek.
