Bold

Sorry again for the long delay and not posting

I just finished writing this today in the car

Took a roadtrip from florida to louisiana with an overnight stop

It was LOONGG and boring

I know its not a long post 

And not what you all deserve for waiting this long

But i've already started working on the next post 

I will try not to take too long but i can't promise

This vacation is more of a job than a vacation with all the things that are going on :(

ENJOOOOYYY :***

xoxoxo LOVE YA'LL

Previously:

As they both walked side to side towards the doors he could smell her scent. She had her dior hypnotic poison perfume on indeed it was slowly hypnotizing him, he couldn’t keep his eyes of her. "You shouldn't be working on a weekend, its unhealthy, you need time off to rest..." Yousef couldn't believe his ears "May9er ketha 24 sa3a bs 7a6 kl 6agtek bl shu'3l..." Is Zaina just trying to make conversation or does she really mean it? Yousef couldn't help but wonder if she really is concerned about him or is it just one of this things people say during conversations. "Eee walla adre bs shswe, 3laiy wayd shu'3l w mu mla7g, mako a7ad '3airy ga3d ysht'3l 3ala hal 8athaya..." Zaina was not really looking at him, she was looking through her bag for the papers she has to give him and was talking to him at the same time. Yousef stood there with his arms crossed across his chest. He was watching her.

   He couldn't help but notice those subtle movements that other people would over look. Small 
movements like when she runs her fingers into her hair to pull it back or when she places the tip of her fingers on her lips as she is thinking and wondering where the papers are. All Yousef wanted was more time with her. Weekends would be even better if she was there. Breakfast would be tastier and more satisfying if he had her sitting right there across the table from him as he had his coffee.
   When Zaina found the papers she walked up to with a smirk on her face and a glow to her eyes and put out the papers in front of him for him to take. As Yousef reached out to grab them she suddenly pulled them away and looked him the eye "One more thing..." Yousef looked at her and raised one eyebrow in question "Check your phone...."

   Zaina gave him the papers as she suddenly began to blush as Yousef was staring at her with the widest grin plastered on his face. She turned around and began walking while Yousef just stood there looking at her. Right before she reached the door she turned around to face him but still continued to walk backwards "You better not make me regret my decision estath Yousef...." and with the she turned around again and stepped out of the door back into the garden. 
----------

A week passed and Yousef still couldn’t believe that he was actually chatting with Zaina. It felt surreal. They would spend all day chatting, about anything and everything, work, outings, friends, family, likes dislikes, they just got to know each other more without having any strings attached. Yousef loved what he was learning. He tried his best to conceal what he was feeling worried about scaring her or pushing her away. Especially when he has no idea what she thinks of this. Sometimes he gets so close to just asking her point blank but then again he knows its wrong and he knows she’s not that type of girl.

Yousef came back from work late that day and was extremely tired. His naps were usually about 2 hours but on that day particularly it was no less than 4 hours.

Zaina: Stop being lazy and GET UP! You had your nap and I think it was the longest ‘nap’ on earth. Some people consider this a whole nights sleep!!!

Yousef: ma7ad fekm 7as feeni! Walla ta3ban! Ma yamdeni arta7 la during the week wla weekend! Omi just walked in 6 times in the past 20 mins just to wake me up!

Zaina: Ya bcz u said u have work to do & stuff to finish that’s y everyone is waking u up!

Zaina: Yalla ma3laih, get up & finish ur work & take a break this weekend.

Zaina: I know ur going to say “I can’t! Mno bswe ilshu’3l 3ane!” But this times its going to be an order & not a suggestion.

Yousef: An order haa?? Laish 5ayfa 3laiy?? *thinking face*

Zaina: Yousef…

Yousef: Halllaaaa…

Zaina: if you don’t get up now I’ll make Reem come to your room and shower you with a jug of ice cold water :)

Yousef: Mn wain yebtay this evil idea! Magdar agool shay ‘3air ina bngoom ‘3a9bn 3laiy la2na adre fech etswenha

   Zaina never fails to make him smile even when it’s not the answer he wants. The unfamiliar feeling kept growing inside of him. He felt like with every hour that passed he wanted them to grow closer and closer. Yousef pushed the thought of Zaina aside and quickly got out of bed before his mind took him to places as the thought Zaina and how wonderful she is continues to expand in his head.

  

   As Yousef walked down the stairs, he couldn’t help but feel jump and energetic as he skipped a few steps and was humming some song along the way. “Waaaay Yousef! Mab’3ait etgoom! Walla 3lait galbe w 3awart rase ma3ak! Allah y3en murtk ma3ak itha chthe btswe feha 3shan etgom!” His mother had a very concerned look on her face. “Yummaa allah ysam7ech! Mno galch ra7 aswe chthe eb murte!!” Yousef couldn’t help but start laughing at her. “Eeee mu bs ana ili tbon et3awron galbe! Bs omkum!” Yousef walked over to where she was sitting and kissed the crown of her head “Ma3ash mn 3awar galbch yal ‘3alya! Ga3da at’3ashmar m3ach walla! Mag9rtay ma3anna…” Yousef’s mom couldn’t stay mad at her children for long. After all, they are who she lives for. “3ayrtek bs!!! Wain btro7 al7en? 3ndk shu’3l 7g hal 8athaya ili mat5al9!”

   “Eee walla 3nde cham shay, broo7 age6 awrag bait 5alte 7g Zaina w ba3dain bro7 ag3ad ma3a wa7d m7taj shway cham ma3loma mna 3an 8atheya tawne mstlemha w 3ugbha ymkn aro7 ildewaneya shway mn zman mu raye7… t2amreeni 3ala shay?” His mother gave him a reassuring smile as she nodded no “Bs salem 3ala bait 5altek w deer balk 3ala nafsek..”

   “Inshala yumma yo9al..” He kissed the crown of her head one more time before heading out. As he walked out and towards his car he couldn’t help but imagine the look on Zaina’s face when she sees him at her place. Will she be happy or surprised or upset that he didn’t tell her?

   He didn’t tell her that he was going to drop some papers by because he knew she would come up with any excuse just so he doesn’t drop by and honestly speaking, Yousef wanted to do this. He wanted to go see her out of working hours. Their only encounters were either at work or at family gatherings. He wanted to see the casual at home Zaina and he wasn’t going to deny how much he has missed her and wanted to see her. He hadn’t seen her in a while and was ecstatic when he finally found a reason that he could do so.

   The whole ride to Zaina’s house he was singing along with every song that was played by his ipod that he had plugged in. He was smiling and his eyes were sparkling. About 20 minutes later he was right outside his aunts house and parked the car. He switched off his car engine, grabbed the papers from the passenger seat, got out of the car and locked it.

   He made his way up to the main door and rang the bell. As he waited for the door to be opened, he checked his telephone to see if there is anything important but before he could check anything the door was opened and the nanny let him in.

   “Salam, shlonech lisa? Where is Zaina? Is she at home?” The nanny knew Yousef from family gatherings. “Good sir, how are you? Yes she is at home, in the basement. Everyday at this time she go to the basement for 2 or 3 hours.” Lisa was very nice, she was old but not extremely old. She was with their family for a very long time and practically watched Zaina grow. “Oh ok, is it ok if I go down?” He wasn’t sure if it was ok or not since he never knew Zaina spent hours in the basement everyday. He didn’t know what she would be doing. “Yes yes ofcourse you can go!”

  

   Yousef made his way down to the basement as quietly as possible. He wanted to see what she was doing. Wanted to see what how she engages in her hobbies when no one is around. As he walked down the stairs his smile began to grow wider and wider until it turned into a huge grin. He noticed a bit of background music. He couldn’t tell what the song was but it was very familiar. The closer he got the clearer the song was...

If I should be so bold

I’d ask you to hold my heart in your hand

Tell you from the start how I’ve longed to be your man

But I never said I would

I guess I’m going to miss my chance again

All I ready wanna do is love you

A kind much closer than friends use

But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me

As the feeling inside keeps building

And I will find a way to you if it kills me

If it kills me

If it kills me

It might kill me

[If it kills me (Casa Nova Sessions) Jason Mraz]

And he was beyond fascinated by what he saw, mesmerize. He didn’t recognize her, she was a different person. Her face was glowing….
