“That was mean ok???.... Hahahaha! You’re mean!! MEAAN! You shouldn’t have laughed!” Zaina hit Yousef’s arm, not so hard and not lightly “There’s nothing wrong with thinking guys read books, reading is good!! And no watching the movie doesn’t count, nothing beats reading the book….”

Yousef turned around and stood infront of Zaina and looked down into her eyes “Nothing beats this….” Zaina avoided any eye contact “whats this??” He held her chin and lifted her head up but she still wouldn’t look at him “Look at me…. Zaina look at me, 6al3eeni..”

   Zaina’s heart was racing. It was beating a millions time per second. She didn’t recognize this feeling. It was new, unfamiliar, scary yet exciting and exhilarating. She tried so hard not to look up at Yousef but she couldn’t stop herself “This…me & you, here, together….. this…”

--------------

   Zaina looked into Yousef’s eyes and felt a bizarre connection. Their connection & chemistry was causing a different kind of fireworks to fill the atmosphere. They were looking deep into each other’s eyes. As if they wanted to explore each other, look into each other’s souls, read and understand one another.

   Zaina’s face was turning into every shade of red and Yousef enjoyed it knowing he was causing her to blush and feel the same way he has been feeling for quite a while. The moment seemed like it was lasting forever. It felt like time had stopped. Everything around them stopped moving, breathing & living and it was just the two of them, in that spot. No one else existed. Yousef couldn’t take his eyes off her.

   He shuffled forward, it was less than half a step but was enough for him to minimize the space between them. Yousef wanted to do it. He wanted to completely close the gap between them and plant his lips onto hers creating the most magical kiss on earth but he was waiting for that look in Zaina’s eye to know that she wants it as much as he does. He didn’t want to rush into it and ruin everything he was tried to establish. He didn’t want to scare her away. He didn’t want to loose her because of one moment where he couldn’t pull himself together.

   Yousef gave her a soft, warm smile that he could immediately see was easing the tension that was building up in Zaina’s muscles. She smiled back automatically as soon as she saw the warmth radiating from his eyes. Zaina felt a bit more relaxed and realized that she was holding her breath the whole time. She slowly took a deep breath and quickly turned around to look over the rails at the beautiful scene that they were admiring a few seconds ago.

   She couldn’t see Yousef’s face but she could still feel him still standing very very close to her. He didn’t move one inch, he was close enough that Zaina could feel his breath on her neck and boy was it an intoxicating feeling. And unexpectedly, she heard the most masculine yet gentle voice she has ever heard whispering a few alluring words…

“Mako a7ad bl denya methlch ya Zaina…”

   The night ended on a smooth note and neither of them expected to enjoy themselves as much as they did. It wasn’t awkward or uncomfortable between after that incident. On the contrary, they both felt at ease and happy. It wasn’t planned for but it set a particular mood for the rest of the night. They kept on laughing, joking and shared stories at they look a long walk to nowhere in particular. They shared glances and Zaina blushed everytime Yousef complimented her.

   Neither of them said it, but they both felt it. There was this connection that neither one could deny. Any passer by would be able to see it in their eyes. It was an unspoken bond. But it was something neither one of them is ready to admit or take to a different level. For now, they were settling and accepting that they are cousins, friends and maybe even colleagues.

   Later that night, Yousef was sitting in the living room. The tv was on and the his cup of tea was only half full. His mother walked in but he didn’t notice his presence until she tapped him on his shoulder “Yousef! Shfek chthe sar7aaaan? Wain w9alt? mno ili sha’3el balek chthe?”

   Yousef got up and kissed the crown of his mother’s head “ee7mm.. Halaa Yuma halaa. Mako shay, ma7ad sha’3el baly laish? 5air? B’3aitay shay?” He knew very well his mother will not believe him but he still had to try and get away with it “Kil hatha w ma7ad sha’3el balek? Goolyy, sh3ndk ga3ed ihne laima hal 7aza w mu 7as bely y9er 7awalaik?”

   “La Yuma mako shay, bs afaker bl shu’3l w qathaya ili 3nde w shlon a7elha, la akthar wla aqal” He smiled trying to hide the real reason behind what he was thinking about “Ya 5oofy fe shay ‘3air ildawam… gooly itha fe shay, ana oomek lat5esh 3laiy! Akeed shft wa7da 3jbtek 9a7??”

   Yousef couldn’t help but laugh. It was true when they say that mothers knows about everything that her kids want or think about “La ya Yuma, lat7ateeen, inshala itha nwait atzawaj intay awal wa7da ra7 t3arfen w ra7 agoolch ta56benha bl wakt ilmunasb..”

   “Ha ywaiiseef, chna afham mn kalameekk ina fe wa7da bs na6r ilwakt ilmonaseb! Mno ehya gool 5al a56eblk ilbent w 5al nfra7 feeek!” His mother was thrilled at the thought of a wedding and her son getting married “Hahahaha 6awlay balech ya yuma, mako wa7da 7a6 3ainy 3laihaa te6amenay… 6awlay balech, muta ma 9ar ilwakt ilmunasb inshala ra7 atzawaj...w ana mt2kd ina ra7 et7benha mthel ana a7ebha…” He kissed the crown of her head again before leaving to his room “…te9b7en 3ala 5air yal ‘3alyaa”

   Yousef made his way upstairs and got ready for bed. It was getting very late and he had to wake up early int he morning to wake it on time at the court. Before jumping into bed he grabbed his blackberry to set his alarm only to notice one BBM notification. He scrolled down to open it and to his surprise it was a text from…..

enjoooy:***

P.S. where Youse and Zaina were standing was quite secluded just incase any of you think it was happening infront of a bunch of people ;p 

P.S.S. keep the comments coming :( wain ra7aw??

Previously:

Yousef was scared of speaking or as a matter of fact, he was scared of moving. He didn’t want Zaina to take her hand away. He loved the feeling and he wanted it to go on forever but he had to say something or else the situation might suddenly become awkward. “Im glad I did, im always here for time like these if you need me… you know that right??” Yousef looked Zaina in the eye to make sure she knows he means it but slowly turned is hand over, held the tip o f her fingers and gently rubbed them as if assuring her he will never leave her.

   He could tell Zaina liked it but was surprised at his action. She was speechless and amused at his gesture. Yousef could see her cheeks turning red and he loved that he had that affect on her. All Zaina could do was nod her head and look down and with that he pulled his hand away and sat back in her chair. “Zaina….”

   “Yeah….” Zaina lifted her head up to look at him and she just couldn’t believe what she saw the second she looked up.

--------------------

   Zaina’s mouth opened in awe while her eyes literally sparkled and shined. Her eyes had a reflection of colors, blue, green, red and yellow. Yousef didn’t know what was going on. He immediately turned around to see what had grabbed her attention and he himself couldn’t believe it. It was too early in the year but there were fireworks in the distance.

   They couldn’t hear anything but who wanted to hear the noise from the fireworks when they can see the sky transforming into a canvas of bright, beautiful colors. Zaina slowly got out of her seat & walked towards the rails that were over looking the sea. She just stood there with a grin on her face looking at the dancing sparkles.

   Yousef stayed in his seat as he admired the scene before him. There was nothing better than looking at the fireworks and at Zaina at the same time. It couldn’t get any better. The excitement in Zaina’s posture & eyes was indescribable. It reminded Yousef of a little kid. He loved how Zaina had a pure heart. He couldn’t imagine a different kind of Zaina.

   The fireworks had stopped but Zaina was still standing there admiring the scene. There was a velvet rose in a small vase on the table. Yousef picked it up, stood up & walked over to where Zaina was standing. He held the rose infront of here face. Zaina shrieked obviously not expecting him to sneak up on her like that.

   “You scared me! Wsh tha? Whats the flower for?” Zaina was smiling, she was delighted and surprised at his gesture. “A beautiful flower, for a beautiful lady.” Yousef was leaning over on the rail but also facing Zaina. He wanted to look at those gorgeous eyes. Zaina closed her eyes as she took in the scent of the fragrant flower “I’m going to keep this. I’m going to put it inside my favorite book”

   Yousef was on top of the world! What does this mean? Could it possibly mean she’s developing feelings for me? Could she really beginning to sense that I really care about her? “…and what book is that??” Yousef wanted to learn more about her.

   “Its my all time favorite… Pride & Prejudice… I can never get enough of it” Zaina zoned out for about a second as she thought about scenes from the book. “Of course you have no clew what that book is right??” Zaina gave Yousef a slight bump on his shoulders “What makes you think I don’t know what Pride & Prejudice is!!” Zaina turned around and rested her back on the rails as Yousef remained in the same position “hmmmm… well I’ve never heard of any guy that likes books, especially not books like these.”

   “Well, I might not be one of those stereotypical types, we’re not all like that!” Zaina spun her head to look at Yousef. She wanted to see if he really meant what he said or if he was just goofing around. “Waiiiitt… 9edg?? Ya3ne you’ve read the book?” Yousef suddenly started laughing, he was laughing so hard that Zaina felt like an idiot for a second. “AIIISSSH?? WSSSH FEEK T’TH7AAAK KETHAA!”

   Yousef immedietly stopped laughing. His eyes were still watery from laughing but he managed to pull himself together. “The look on your face was priceless!! Why were you so surprised like that?? Ok I have to admit, I didn’t read the book but I know what Pride & Prejudice is! I’ve seen the movie so it still counts! Aanndd… I watched the movie willingly!” Yousef turned around and rested his back on the rails as well “You know even us guys look for a few good romance movies every now & then….”

   “That was mean ok???.... Hahahaha! You’re mean!! MEAAN! You shouldn’t have laughed!” Zaina hit Yousef’s arm, not so hard and not lightly “There’s nothing wrong with thinking guys read books, reading is good!! And no watching the movie doesn’t count, nothing beats reading the book….”

   Yousef turned around and stood infront of Zaina and looked down into her eyes “Nothing beats this….” Zaina avoided any eye contact “whats this??” He held her chin and lifted her head up but she still wouldn’t look at him “Look at me…. Zaina look at me, 6al3eeni..”

   Zaina’s heart was racing. It was beating a millions time per second. She didn’t recognize this feeling. It was new, unfamiliar, scary yet exciting and exhilarating. She tried so hard not to look up at Yousef but she couldn’t stop herself “This…me & you, here, together….. this…”

Previously:

He grabbed his Blackberry and started reading the chats he hasn't opened. There was nothing important. Just a bunch of broadcasts, so he switched to twitter and began reading through his timeline. Looking for any important news or updates. After about 15 minutes he just couldn't distract himself any longer. He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to spend the rest of the time staring at the screen and chatting with Zaina. He wanted to see her screen name because her name alone would make his heart skip a beat every time.

   Yousef: Hey, r u still up?
   Zaina: Hii, yeah i am, whats up?
   Yousef: I don't mean to be so forward, but can i ask you a question?…
   Zaina: Of course u can..what it is?
   Yousef: ummm… well...

Yousef: Why did you stop dancing?

Zaina: No specific reason, maybe I just grew out of it

Yousef: Not convinced ;p No one can grow out of that sort of talent

Zaina: I wouldn’t call it talent Yousef, it was just a hobby and classes my mom put me in, nothing special.

Yousef: I have never seen you glowing as much as today, I couldn’t help but say this you are the most talented dancer I have ever seen. You shouldn’t waste such talent.

Yousef: But anyways…. About that date... ;p

Zaina: are you trying to push my buttons :@ tara walla a5lek tajles el7alek eb hal ‘date’ its NOT a date! ;p

Yousef: Fiiinee, if you say sooo! Whatever helps you sleep at night ;p

Zaina: lool! How about Tuesday? At 8?

Yousef: Perfectoo senora! Pick a place and will see you there on Tuesday!

   Thursday came along and both Yousef & Zaina were swamped with work but they still managed to both make it on time for their “date”. Zaina picked a quiet coffee shop. Most of the people there would usually be studying or working. Yousef didn’t mind, to him it meant he would get Zaina’s undivided attention.

   They made their way to the place separately but managed to be there withing 5 minutes of each other. Zaina arrived first so she took the privilege to get a table and order water for the both of them. She contemplated whether or not she should order him coffee but she wasn’t sure what Yousef drinks and so decided to wait.

  

   They spent the whole time laughing and catching up on lost time. Yousef would talk about his wild teenage years with his friends and Zaina would laugh so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath. With every new story Zaina learnt something new about Yousef and everything felt natural with him. She didn’t even have to try. Yousef brought out the real Zaina.

   After 2 hours of none stop laughing Zaina began to beg Yousef to stop with his crazy adventure stories. “Please Yousef… hahahaha.. 5ala9 stop with the stories! I think my abs are rock solid after all this laughing!!” Yousef stopped talking and sat back in his chair while he began to admire her natural beauty and charisma. Her eyes were watery from all the tears that kept forming while they shared the laughter.

   “How on earth did 5alte deal with your wild side as a teenager?? I feel sorry for what she had to put up with! You must have been a hand full!” Zaina couldn’t help but make that comment. She could imagine him being told off every other day. Zaina had a wild imagination and she couldn’t help but imagine him running away from him mother.

   “Yeeaahh! But you see, smarty pants, that’s the thing! I never got caught!” Yousef had one of his cheeky smiles on and it grew wider when Zaina suddenly got a shocked ‘That isn’t even possible” look “You’re kidding right??!! I don’t believe you!”

   “No I am not! Wallah!! Shofay the secret was ina  around my friends I was the wild Yousef but at home & with family im the mature Yousef. So they never suspected I would do anything crazy.” Yousef explained himself and Zaina looked at him in disbelief! “No kid can get away with all of that!”

   “Ee bs e7na 3omra ma 2athaina a7ad or actually hurt something or something… we wed crazy but never to an extent that someone would get hurt fa 3shan chthe we never got caught” Yousef felt like a kid again. He remembered the time when adrenaline would over take their body and minds and the fear of getting caught was so exhilarating “It was just the thrill of it that we enjoyed.”

   Zaina started laughing again as she remembered some of the things he was saying and without realizing Yousef felt a warm soft silky hand resting on his manly strong fingers “Walla you made my month Yousef, mo bs my day. I had a rough week and this just loosened me up!”

   Yousef was scared of speaking or as a matter of fact, he was scared of moving. He didn’t want Zaina to take her hand away. He loved the feeling and he wanted it to go on forever but he had to say something or else the situation might suddenly become awkward. “Im glad I did, im always here for time like these if you need me… you know that right??” Yousef looked Zaina in the eye to make sure she knows he means it but slowly turned is hand over, held the tip o f her fingers and gently rubbed them as if assuring her he will never leave her.

All Zaina could do was nod her head and look down and with that he pulled his hand away and sat back in her chair. “Zaina….”

   “Yeah….” Zaina lifted her head up to look at him and she just couldn’t believe what she saw the second she looked up.
