Love & everything in between. Part 6

        After a while from their arrival to the shalaih and putting things into place and take bed sheets out and cleaning things around, Noura called Fahad and told him that they've arrived and that the place is a mess thanks to him. He said that the staff should be heading to the shalaih in a bit so they'll have to wait awhile. Also, Noura mentioned the point that Faris might be visiting them as well, and Fahad told Noura that when he does, she should inform him so he could come and they'll all hang out together.

Lulu's been going to Noura's shalaih ever since she was in middle school. She was an only child and Noura was like her sister. Due to that fact, when Noura's dad renovated the shalaih, he fixed a small room just for Lulu so she can feel right at home.

Noura unpacked, and set everything in place and took her phone and went straight out to the beach. It was already dark, but not too dark. It was the perfect time, not too hot and not too cold either. The sand was cold, but the salty breeze was warm.

She loved it.

She laid down in the sand and stared up at the sky.

'Shit I forgot to text 3azeez', was what popped in her mind so she did,

We got there min shwai, just thought you wanted to know.

But 3azeez was last seen an hour ago, so she figured he was busy.

She put her phone back in her pocket and started daydreaming.

About half an hour later, Lulu joined Noura, but Lulu was changed from her blue shorts and beige top to a white sleeveless beach dress and she braided her hair and then twirled it in a bun.

"Olaa olaa kel hatha 3ashani?" Noura said

Lulu laughed,

"La 6ab3an, Faris is 5 mins away."

"Laish magelteli he's coming tonight! Lazem adeg 3ala Fahad now." Noura said

"La la laish Fahad laish?" Lulu frowned

"Cause you know Fahad may7eb ajabelkom broo7kom, he feels better being around, since ya3ni ohwa akbar mina." Noura said

"Nwair please don't please, wala min ziman mo shayfta o 7adi walhana 3alayh!" Lulu begged

Noura gritted her teeth, " o bala Fahad qarar yerja3 ?"

"Ana sa3at.ha at7amal elmas2ooleya" Lulu said

"Fine whatever," Noura said and as she did, Faris's white patrol pulled in the driveway, and he stepped out and came towards the girls.

Lulu's eyes lit up as she saw Faris walk towards them.

He was opposite to what Noura liked. He was extremely tall, and white, and had bold features and an occasional beard, in Lulu's eyes he was so manly and handsome, but Noura thought he was okay.

"Masa2 el5air banat" Faris greeted them.

"Ahlan Faris," Noura said

"Halla o '3ala" Lulu stood up and kissed Faris's cheeks and whispered something in his ears that made his heart drop.

He chuckled and looked back at Noura, "haa Noura, tesm7eeli a5ith refeejtich shwai?"

Noura shrugged, "Bil a5eer ehya bet9eer mortek fa magdar agool la."

Lulu smiled and Faris promised he wouldn't take long.

Noura breathed out, that’s the part she hated the most about Faris and Lulu.

They've been engaged for almost a year, yet they keep postponing the wedding, and whenever they see each other its like they're on their honeymoon. So she gave up trying to convince Lulu to schedule the wedding until Lulu's parents told her that she must fix a date or else they'll call everything off. So if everything goes as planned, Faris and Lulu's wedding will be in October.

She was really pissed that Lulu left because now she has no one to sit with, and she knows that if Fahad finds out, he's going to be pissed as well.

Momentarily, her phone vibrated, she pulled it out of her pocket and saw that 3azeez was calling.

'Sub7an allah maydeg 3alai ela o ana fene shai em'9ayegni!' She thought to herself.

"Halla 3azeez?" Noura said trying to hide the tone of anger, but 3azeez was too smart for that and he recognized the tone because he heard it earlier today.

"Halla yuba. Shlounich?" 3azeez asked trying not to sound too pushy

"Zaina," Noura said as she got up and started walking on the beach. She usually takes the left side because the path has fewer rocks than the right, but that night the water was washed off shore so she decided to walk on the right.

"Akeed yuba?" 3azeez said using a more concerned tone.

'Shit, stop saying yuba' Noura thought as her heart skipped a beat. "Eeh I'm fine."

3azeez let it slide this time, there was something bothering Noura, he felt it from her voice but he didn't want to nag and be a pain. "Inzain 3asa mestansa?"

"Eeh I am.." Noura had no idea where this conversation was going.

"Mm whats for dinner?" 3azeez asked

"No idea, I'm waiting for princess Lulu to come back 3ashan enqarer" Noura said, then thought to herself 'shit laish gelt chethy'

"Laish Lulu wainha? Mo weyach?" The tone of concern was back with 3azeez.

"Uuuh. Embala, bas uuh.." She sighed, "marha 5a6eebha o ra7aw shwai yetmashoon o berdoun"

"Aha, fa entay bro7ich al7en?" Noura sensed that the background noise that was in the call subsided and now 3azeez was in a quite place, with only the sounds of minimal waves, similar to her background.

"Eeh, ga3da atmasha 3ala elba7ar." Noura confessed

"Bas mo chena elwaqet met2a5er?"

"La 3azeez eshda3wa its just 9:45, o asasan I didn't go far, 15 mins o ard shalaihna."

"Olaa! You're 15 mins away min shalaihkom??"

"Eeh taqreban, if I walk faster ekoun aqal," Noura said that as she took a turn and started heading back.

3azeez asked if it was okay if he kept on talking to her until she got back and she said its fine with her, little did she know who she's going to meet along the way back.
