I read the new text message "Nayma..?" i read that it was from Yousef
"Home.. :) yalla call! ;)" I replied.
"he" called. I looked at the number, it's an unkown number; i ignored.
He called again.
I ignored...again.
5 minutes later.
A new text message recieved, "Shfeeech ma tredeen?" he said.
I read the message twice.
And i was thinking.. "huh..?"
I quickly went and read the sent messages and i've noticed that the first message was not from Yousef, but instead it was from "khaled" i assumed.
"shtabii!!?" I replied.
"ABEEECH!!" He replied.
I felt grossed out and ignored his message.
I turned on my laptop and signed on msn.
I was waiting for it to sign in when i recieved yet another message.
"I said abeeech!!! ma tefhemeeeeeeen!?" Khaled said.
This was annoying me.

He placed his hands on mine; My heart started beating so fast, felt like it will break through my chest.
"Sweetie, your hands are freezing.." He said.
"There always like that.." I said and smiled.
He looked at me for a few seconds, admiring.
"I love you, Dayoumtii.." He said breaking the silence and smiled.
At this right moment i understood what the killers were talking about when they sang "Smile like you mean it.."
I was falling in love all over again.
I sat there. motionless.
"Dayoumtii.." He said.

"Ma yeswaach 3indii ensaaan, walllaaah." He said.

"Yalla 3ad la7thaa." He said and took off my sunglasses.
"Haa shnuu!?" I said and giggled.

"Uh..i don't know. i'll see if i can." I said.
"Okay, but you do know it'll be hard to say goodbye right?" He said.
"I know, that's what makes me dont want to come.." I said.
He held my hand and kissed it.
I was crashing inside.
I wanted to scream my heart out.
I wanted to yell 'DONT GO' but i didn't want to be selfish.
I quickly wore my sunglasses. "sorry, yalla i have to go." I said as soon as i felt tears are about to come down.
"Wain waiiin shfeeech?!" He said.

"Shdaranii,who is that?" She asked.
"i dont know.." I lied. It's probably Yousef.
"Oh.." she said.
wow, she actually bought it. Phew.
"Yeah.." I said and asked for my phone.
I took it and kept it on my lap while driving.
"So where do you want to go?" I said as we reached Gulf street.
"I don't know. anywhere." she said.
"Don't say that. yalla choose!" I said.
"Hmm, i dont know, im not that hungry really.." she suggested.
"Okay, then anything to drink?" I said.
"Yeah, go to star juice, im craving some bruce willis." she said.
"Haha, that sounded so wrong, okay." I said.
"Haha, really it's delicious!" She said.
"I know, but i like cindy crowford more!" I said & turned on my ipod on shuffle.
"I hate that i love you" By Ne-yo and Rihanna started playing.
"Allaah this song reminds me of Yousef!" Haya said.
I almost got in an accident hearing that.
"Whaat?!" I asked to make sure.
"Yousef, my cousin, shfeeech?" she said.
"Oh, w why does it remind you of him?" I said.
"L2ana i hate how much i love him, really.." she said.
"Oh, you love him still?.." I said.
"Yes.." She said and turned her face away.
i thought she was going to cry any minute now.
I felt bad. for some reason.
we both stayed quiet till we reached Star juice.
the waiter approached our car as we parked.
"One cindy crowford and one Bruce willis, please." I said.
"Do you still talk to yousef?" She asked.
"Yeah.." I said.
"did you know he's going to the US to study?" She said.
"Yeah i heard." I said.
"I'm sure going to miss him.." she said.
This made me feel uncomfortable.
"Won't you miss him?" She asked.
"I dont know.." I said.
Because i really didn't know what to say.
The order arrived we paid, and drove off.
"Aren't you close with him?" She asked.
"Yeah i am.." I said.
"How close?" she asked.
"Could we not talk about him?" I said.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because i don't like to.." I said.
"But i know that he loves you, it's okay.." She said.
"Okay, but still i dont want to." I said.
"Okay, as you like.." she said.
"Now where do you want to go?" I asked.
"Let's just drive around the city w b3dain enred" She said.
"Good idea." I said.

"Dont think about that much." I said.
"It's hard no to.." He said.
"Awwh, but it's okay, we'll be talking to each other while you're there." I said.
"I know, but it's different.." He said.
"Ofcourse it is, but it's alright, we'll get used to it.." I said.
"I hope so." He said.
We stayed for the longest 5 minutes i've went through without speaking.
Just hearing eachother breathing..
"a7ebich.." He said. there was this tone in his voice that broke my heart to bits.
"I'm going to miss you sooo much!" I said.
"9adgeeni mu kithriii..!" He said.
We talked for several more hours.

5:30PM
"D, i don't know what to do if Yousef is gone.." I said.
"It's going to be hard but it's okay, he's worth waiting for..isn't he?" She asked.
"Definitely! I really love him D!" I said and blushed.
"Awwh, i'm soo happy for you.." She said.
"Sometimes i picture us walking and holding hands with our first little child.." I said and i got so emotional, i had tears in my eyes.
"Awwh, Dayoum ya bgara that's soo cute!" She said
"He makes me want to be better.." I said.
"Does he know that..?" She said.
"No." I said.
"Why not?" She asked.
"I don't know" I said.
"You should tell him, he should know how you exactly feel.." she said.
"I don't want to tell him all of that before he leaves, because then he will feel more and more sad to leave me, i want him to go there with no worries.." I explained.
"You're fucking sweet, and i love you!" She said and gave me a hug that i almost barely could breathe.
"I love you too..!" I said and hugged her back.
"Let's go and watch F.r.i.e.n.d.s!" D said.
"Yeah,okay, we haven't done that in a loong time." I said.

Part TwentyTwo;; "You said hello; little did i know.."
The avenues
2:15PM
I kept walking without letting him sense that i noticed his stalking. I went in Vavavoom and bought Guerlain bronzer, YSL Touche Blush & An Oh! De Moschino perfume.
I saw him waiting outside at one of the exit doors. i decided to go to the other exit of Vavavoom to get him lost.
I got out and kept walking, i took a glance back and he wasn't there. i was relieved.
I went to Krispy Kreme to get a dozen of Orginal Glaze. I was addicted.
While i was waiting for KK's lady to put the donuts in the box my phone rang.
it was an unknown number. OOPS!
My heart started beating so fast while the phone is ringing and vibrating in my hand. i was scared shitless. i don't know why!
I ignored of course and took the KK's bag and decided to just get away from the avenues as soon as possible.
"BEEEP" Text message recieved. "Wain en7eshtaay?" From the same unknown number. LEAVE ME ALONEEE!! ugh.
I went down to the parking lot and FROZE!
He was in his car waiting behind my parked car! WTF!!! IS HE CRAZY!!? I stood there looking in a total shock!
He mimmed for me to come. that made me piss my pants a little.
I quickly went back up to the mall and hid in one of the ladies restroom.
WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO!?
Saturday 6th of august
The avenues restroom
3:30PM
I called D.
I thought if i called Yousef; it's going to be a HUGE problem, and i wasn't in the mood.
"D!!! S.O.S!!!" I yelled as soon as she answered.
"WHAAT? WHAAAT!!?" She yelled back.
"IM STUCK IN THE AVENUES RESTROOM!" I said.
"HUH? HOW? WHY!?" She asked.
"COS THAT JERK IS OUT THERE WAITING FOR ME!" I yelled.
"WHO'S THE JERK!?" she yelled.
"THE UNKNOWN CALLER!" I yelled.
"OMG! HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S HIM!?" she asked.
"That's not important! What can i do?!" I said.
"Is he hot?" D asked.
"HOE!!! Rakzay PLZ!! and yes he is!" I said.
"OH wow, you lucky bitch!" She said.
"TAKE MY PLACE!! wallah ma abeeh! im scared d!!!" I yelled.
"Enzain where is waiting?" She asked.
"Next to my car!" I yelled.
"WTF!! YUMAA!" She yelled.
"Honey, you're not helping!" I said.
"Im sorry, do you want me to come?" She said.
"YESSS PLEASE!!" I said.
"Okay, 10 minutes w akoun 3indech,bye!" She said.
"HAHAHA, Yeah right! byeee" I said.
I thought i should just stay in the bathroom until D get here.
"Beeep" Another text message from him; "Shfeeech wain re7tayy?" I ignored.
I waited for almost 20 minutes before D decided to show up.
"Hiii..!" D said when she entered the restroom.
"Hey, shdaraach enna i was in this restroom?" I asked.
"Cos you like this one?" She said.
"Did you see him outside?" I asked.
"Idiot, w ana shdaranii 3annah!?" She said.
"Oh am i glad to see you!!" I said with a sigh of relief.
"hehe, Okay now what?" D said.

"Let me answer!" D yelled and took my phone.
"Aloo" she said.
"Na3am?" "Mballah.." "No, It's me!" "Okay BYE!" & she gave me back the phone.
"What did he say?" I asked.
"He said Deema? La hatha mu 9outich, entay yemkin her friend ekhtara3t w sakarta!" she said.
"OMG, Obsessed much!" I said.
"Yeah, he's really desperate!" She said.
"Haya mu mn 9ijha!" I said.
"Well, i think Haya just gave him your number, but he actually fell inlove with you!" She said.
"What? i dont think so! ambaay, we never had a proper talk for him to fall in love with me! that's silly!" I said.
"Well, Yousef fell inlove with you before even speaking to you, didn't he?" She asked.
"uhh..." I stoped talking for a while.. "I guess.." I continued.
"This is too complicated!" She said.
"7daa!" I said and took a sip from my diet coke.
Saturday 6th of august
The avenues
6:30PM
We were walking from Johnny to the parking lots.
"What if he's still waiting there?" I said to D, worried.
"La shda3wa i don't think so!" She said.
"He's crazy, esaweeha wallah!" I said.
"La i don't think he'd wait that long 3ad! e9eer 9ij desperate!" D said.
We got to the parking lots and thank god he wasn't there.
"Ashwaa!" I said as soon as i noticed no one was around my car.
"Yalla enmashi ba3a'9 lai share3 demashq!" D said and walked to her car.
"Okay, ciao!" I said and walked to my car.
Just before i get in my car i saw a piece of paper on the door handle.
"what's that i wondered.."
it read "Call me please. you know who i am!"
I ripped the paper and threw it away.
He's starting to get on my nerve!
Phone rings. None other than the unknown caller. I ignored.
He sent a text. "Please say anything..?"
I replied with; "Leave me alone,please!"
I started the car engines and followed D.
5 minutes later. BEEP.
A new text message.

Saturday 6th of august
My car
1 PM
On my way to the avenues, i wanted some beauty products from vavavoom and i wanted to shop in some certain stores. I was listening to my i-pod on shuffle, and the song "Breathe" By Anna Nalick was playing and i was singing along.
i was 5 minutes away from the avenues. i saw a guy in a tayota Prado and he was around 20 or 21 years old i assumed,he has really dark hair and he's tanned, he looked good, he's been following me for almost 3 minutes and when i go to a different lane, he would drive to the same lane,is he following me, or his destination is the avenues too?
Saturday 6th of august
The avenues
1:15PM
I was walking to an escalator after finishing shopping in Gap & topshop when i saw the Prado guy behind me and he wanted to get on the escalator too,
coincidence much?
Or am i thinking way too much into this?

I entered my room and saw a box placed on my bed. I quickly went and read the card; it said "I love you. -- Dana"
Why would D send me a present suddenly?
& When did she send it when i was with her the whole time!?
I picked up my phone and called D.
"Helloo loove!" I said as soon as she picked up.
"Heyy!" She said.
"Thanks for the present...!" I said.
"Ay present?!" She said, confused.
"Haw, you dazatli a present!" I explained.
"No i didn't." She said.
"Then who is it..." I wondered "Oh, i see, it's probably from Yousef then." I guessed.
"Awwh, he used my name, how sweeet!" She said.
"Yeah, that's a smart move!" I said. and giggled.
"Awwh, open it noow!" She yelled.
"Okay okay!" I said and opened the wrapping paper around the box.
"Soo what is it?!" She asked.
"I dont know waiiit.." I said.
I opened the box and it had 2 things; A piece of paper, which i assumed was a letter, and a Chanel box.
"It has a letter, and a Chanel box!" I said.
"Chanel!? Awwh, what is it?!" She asked.
I opened the box, and it had the cutest Chanel earrings.
"It's Chanel earrings!" I yelled.
"Awwh, You lucky ass!" She said.
"That is soo sweet of him!" I said. and blushed.
"I can see you blushing you know!?" She joked.
"Haha shut up, bye im going to thank him!" I said.
"Okay, tell him i said hi!" she said and laughed.
I called him. It rang 4 times before he answered.
