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.

   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.
