I'll Be Your Soldier (Prt. 25)

Previously
He put his hand over my shoulder, and pushed me to lean on him. After countless tries, of him not trying to get me to lean on him, he leaned on me.
----------------------

The movie ended, and it wasnt until then that we heard a few snores.
I looked at Khalid and chuckled.

"Latith7ikeen tara ham ana I snore"

"Heheh" I laughed covering my mouth. "Enzain are you wake up the guys 3ashan eridoon el chalet wala sheno exactly?"

"Madry kaifich" He looked at me in the eye still holding me close to his body.

"7araaaam theyre sleeping so peacefully, except for the ones snoring ..Okay, can you let me go 3ashan I get them blankets? And we have to move Reem, Yousif is too close to her"

"Bahdidich bs 3ala shar6"

"La wala khalid! men muta you have shroo6!"

"Men el7eeen"

We whispering,to each other ..

"Spill"

"Khallaa9 wala shay, where are the extra blankets?" he said, even though a smile was forming on the tips of his lips.

"Follow me" I said as he FINALLY let me go. Even though I didnt want him to let go, I was comftrable in the position. I inhaled his scent, a mixture of cigerettes and after shave, and D&G Light Blue put together for one last time and made our way upstairs.

I went into my room and turned on the lights

"NADIA!" he hissed angerly.

"Shfeeeek!"

"E3youni! A777! Remember we were in the dark, then lights, a77 my eyes!"

"Hehe, Im sorry!" I went back to him, as he stood at the door rubbing his eyes..
I noticed they were red, ashkara emqa9ib ru7a ena he stays up ma3ay..

"Khaliiid.."

"Yess.."

"Why are you forcing yourself to stay up?"

"Me? Shaku men gal, mafeny noum"

And just then he yawned ..

I burst into laughing, bs he covered my mouth. "Shh Nadia ra7 etgawmeenhum!"

"Sorry" I said biting my lip and trying to hold in my giggles..

We carried blankets and pillows downstairs, ou ga3dna enla7ifhum. We made sure than no guys was anywhere close to a girl, and if they were we woke them up ..

"Reem, babes goumay" I whispered

"Hey shfeech" She said with one eye open.

"Ta3alay namay 3adel, your sleeping on yousifs chest"

"Okay"

I dont think esaw3ibat what I said, cuz I was sure she would have flipped out! I put her a pillow, ou la7ft-ha. In seconds, she was back sound asleep.


3gub ma khala9na, we turned off the TV. We took one look at all our friends, sleeping peacefully. Khalid Had his arm over my shoulder.. "Theyre all so cute 9a7" I said. "Eeeh" He replied. Then we made our way to the kitchen.

"Khalid, ru7 nam, Im gona make myself coffeee and stay up. I know your cousins ou friends seem nice, bs lail7een akhaf yi9eer ayshay.. so ana bag3ad, enta ru7 nam, etha taby you can go upstairs and sleep or bel 9ala etha you wana join the group.."

"I wana join you"

"Erm no?"

"Erm yes, if your staying up then so am I"

"Fine, we'll see who'll manage to stay up the longest"

"Are you daring me wala sheno bel thab6" he said helping me get a mug men the top shelf.

"You can say that!" I said "Would you like some?"

"Akeed etha eb tishribeen gahwa to stay up, ham ana bashrab ou benchouf meno beynam awal shay"


Even though I was tired, I was gona make sure ena I stayed up. I felt responsible for all my friends, ou I would hurt anyone who dares come by them ..

Khalid and I sat back into the living room and sat onto the side sofa which allowed you to look out onto the ba7ar, ou at the same time ga3da in which was occupied by our friends.

Khalid pulled me next to him, back into his arms, and dug me into his chest.

"KHALID RA7 YENKAT 3ALAIK!" I whispered angerly "Its hot you know!"

"3ayal give it to me!" he took it and put it on the coffee table that was next to him.

"Nadia"

"Hmmm"

"Bagoulich qe9a 3ady?"

"I LOVE BEDTIME STORIES, even though it doesnt seem like I have a choice, But Im cold, and your hugging me too tight, I cant breathe"

He got up and went to the table in which we left the extra blankets and came back with an extra pillow.

"Haach 7ayati"

7ayati? Did I just hear him say 7ayati? My heart skipped a beat didnt it? Or was it more than one beat? Shagoul?

"Its Nadia.." STUPID STUPID NADIA! I thought! I wanted to bang my head on any of those windows. He said it in a way that made my body tingle. Ohh how I craved from that feeling. Deep inside, my soul for the first time in a while was beaming in joy, my insides were dancing, and my heart was forgetting to beat.

He smiled, cuz he saw me blush in the dark. He sat back down, and held me back into his chest. He moved his fingers through my hair, and up and down my arm.I could have swore I was high ..

And so his story began,

"Once upon a time, there was a prince, tall, handsome *a7im a7im* and well, madry 3an el banat, but he was everything every girl wants. For years his dad sends him to diffrent kingdoms, and from tribe to tribe, allowing him to increase his knowledge, and seek a better education. But one day, at the end of his final year abroad away from his family, he gets a message from a poor little boy, who lived on the streets. And the little boy said, 'Are you the prince, who lives in the land of sweets, where the it rains sugar, and the wind is the scent of vanilla'" Khalid said in a serious tone, still fiddling with my hair. "'I am! I am!' The prince shouted jmping up and down. 'The word on the street is that your father is asking that you come back home to him immiadetly.' The prince astonished ran and jumped onto his horse, and rode him for days, until he was back home. When the reaches the castle, he saw his dad, sipping tea with his mother, in the garder of ... of.. THE GARDEN OF SUGAR! Anyways, he kneeled infront of his parents, and asked if the word on the street was true. His father silently nodded his head. And his mother said 'Son, your father has grown old, and for years we have sent you studied the maths and sciences, but now you have to know and understand, and be taught, the 1 2 3's of being a king'. And so the next day, he was sent to the "Prince&Princesses School" and there, in his class, he saw the most beautiful girl he has ever saw. Her skin was the color of cinnamon, her hair had natural golden streaks. She carried her tiny figure so gracefully. Her black eyes twinkled in the darkness, as though they meant to guide him to some place he's never been before. It was to the land of Love. Later, he found out her name was Nadia. "

Khalid stopped and looked over at Nadia's face which was burried into his chest. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing softly. She had fallen asleep in his arms.

He slowly brushed he bangs that were covering her face. "Nadia, el baqait agoulich eya eny a7ibich, ou 3umry ma 7abait ay a7ed. I love you"

Nadia shifted a little bit, and mummbled something, "I love you too Khalid"

Reem who woke up in the beggning of the story, heard everything. She wanted to gasp, but then Khalid would know she heard it. She covered her mouth, but then a smile formed her face. She was happy that her best friend was able to love again, after what that jackass did. But she knew Nadia VERY WELL, she was going to deny that feeling but.. she closed her eyes and went back to sleep waiting to see what the next day had for the both of them.

Khalid hugged Nadia a little tighter, and kissed the her head. He too was just as suprised and startled as Reem, to what Nadia had said.

Crawl Back Into Love (Prt. 24)

This post is dedicated 7ag Bella!;*.
Seriously I LOVE YOU! Madry Shasawi without you!;*
-----------------------------------------------------

As we were flipping through the channels the girls started talking about random stuff, wallaaah my nanny walks in with towels and our swimming shorts ou tank tops "Oiii you girls, so much work, why me can no tan you see i become snow white" mitna men el thi7ik 3alyha.

"Oh yeah snow white! the guys next door are coming over, do we have chips and fries and just like normal snacks?"

"No ! We only hab begtable!"

Reem looked at me "7elfay wala"

Muneera nigzat "THIS MEANS SHOPPING!"

El ebtisama shagat wyooh el banat, terror was about to be brought to Sultan Center. They all stood up waiting for my answer, "HELL YEAH!" As muneera pulled me up.

3ad choufaw shluun etda3asna bel sayra. Legs were out of windows, hairs was all over the place, wel tissue box was being thrown all over the place. I thiknk Chandra (the driver) wegaf 8 times 3ashan ezifna because he couldnt drive with all that noise. But with every zafa we grew crazier. We cranked the music, and screamed from the top of our lungs "Hey Mama" the song malat the black eyed peas. And Chandra stuffed his ears with tissue after I accidently smacked his head witht he box..

Kena so fa9leeen that I climbed out from the sun thing. Akeed we got stares, bes who cares, we werent doing anythign wrong, and we definately werent hurting anyone, so we continued. Muneera and Faye grabbed 3arabant and me and Reem jumped into them. And then they ran into the store. We were a huge group running from place to place. Meenra tarkith feeeny wana wagfa bel 3arabana ou togaf, which caused me to fly out of the cart. Even though it was PAINFUL, i managed to get back up laughing .. The second time she did this, She managed to run me over, and even though I was laughing my ass out, I couldnt get up, my ribs hurt, and foot too.. Reem who was laughing hysterically got down, to help me.."

"Muneer--ahahahaha,yo.. ..." Wala we see a dude in a dishdasha tapping furiously next to my face.

"El shi6ana matinfa3" he said, a bit angry ..

I forced myself to sit up properly, "asfeen" I was still in pain. He looked at the almost 2 filled up carts, full of junk food, Packets of redbull, chips, chocolate jelly, crackers, and coookies,nachos, and squirt cheese.

"Hatha kela 7agkum" he asked.

"Um ee" I leaned on the shelf, wala a pile of pads fell on me.

All the giggles that were held in were out, including the dude ely bel dishdasha.

He helped me up, and i saw a bruise on my foot, and didnt want to even think about what happened on my tummy, and ribs.

He orderd two men to push the cart, to the cashier . 3gub ma defa3na and we made our way back to the car. Wehnak the teasing began .

"Cheftaw her face shloon 6araaaaaat" they all laughed at me while i stayed back in pain, unable to laugh, or slap anyone ..

"7ameer" as i put the bag of cold drinks on my tummy

When we got there, the sun was just starting to set, and the guys would be there shortly, so the girls ran in to get ready, bs lama estaw3ibaw I couldnt walk, or move, they ran back in and carried me. Well Muneeera did all the carrying bs they pretended at least to help out

Everyone was fixing up the place, ou 6ala3aw the Ps3, and the Wii, wel cards and ratabaw el mukan as i poured chips into plastic bowls, and put all the food on the table, ou made sure the drinks were cold for them ..

Shortly later the guys came, ou kanaw yaybeeen ready made cupcakes. Yousif kan masik-hum bs 7a6hum 3ala a plate .. "Eee thogay hal cupcakes, tara e7na emsawenhum"

"La kelish mu men that facebook group el your order cupcakes .. " Reem said

"Laaaa men gal ana emsawehum"

Faye was like "Ayal chathab, my cousin makes hathoula!"

"BAYGA MY RECIPIE YOUR COUSIN HATHY!" he said defending his cupcakes

"Inzain shraykum etdishoon, wala ibtig3idoon tit hawishoon 3ala cupcakes all night on the door step"

I took his plate ou set it on the table ..

Yousif came behind me with an unfamiliar guy with him .. "Nadia, Hey"

"Hala feek"

"Shlunich?"

"Goood?"

"Doum enshallaa, ana ibkhair ba3ad.."

"Weeh! sorry ee shlunik enta"

"Haha, khebla!, I answered that"

"You did?"

"I did"

"Okay"

And then there was an awkward silence ..

"Why dont you guys sit down, ou ekthaw ra7atku, all the food is here, and the bathroom is over there, wetha ti7tajoon ayshay goulooly!" i said

"Mashkoora maga9artay .. bs Nadia, im sure youve noticed ena hatha *he patted the guys back that was next to him* wasnt with us this whole time ou 3gub elyoum eli 9ar, wala madry shagoulich bs akhaf ba3ad tit thayigain men a new face coming into the picture"

"La 3ady! Haw! Men 9ijik, no bel 3aks 3ady!"

"Alright, well hatha my cousin Mousa"

"Um chena egouloon 3ashat el asamy?"

Mousa laughed and stuck his hand out, so i shook it .. "7atan ana madry shegouloon bs yala enmasheeha"

"Oh and Nadia" Yousif spoke, "I have a 2nd cousin called Khalid, beyeeey maykhalif? Tara etha its crowded ou mu merta7aa wala 3ady ne6la3 anytime, ou adry were practically strangers, ou im bringing in some more .. "

"La yousif 3ady .. "


After that it didnt take long for everyone to sit with someone ..

Faye, was mixing drinks ou waza3ing them to people with the guy who helped her out today ..

Reeem was playing the tennis on the Wii, with Yousif, ou screaming

Muneera and a couple of girls were with guys learning how to play some kind of card game

I stood back, and looked at all of them ..
Everyone was there, and everyone was happy, so I couldnt help but smile!
I cant believe ena its our last year, ou ba3dain el kel yiruu7 6ireeeja!

I grabbed my cellphone ou headed to the porch, talked to my mom for a while then just sat back and relaxed on a chair.

I heard the slide door click, wala alif ou achouf Khalid. It wasnt any Khalid, the Khalid. THE KHALID!

"Khalid I MISSED YOU!" I squeled

"Really you miss me?" he said

"YES!"

He had a frown "And then that explains you having guys over at your chalet and you not answering my bbm's or anything?

"Im sorry, ou look no ones doing ANYTHING wrong! Theyre playing cards, ou chouf!"

"Hehe, i love it lama your all so tensed up"

"Bleh, thanks 3abaly 9ij em3a9ib!"

"I am .. bs how can anyone hold a grudge on you. Etshawgeeeeeen" he pinched my cheeks.

There was another click on the door, and there was Mousa "Um Nadia, ligait hathy ou it doesnt belong to anyone inside, gelt maybe its yours or your brothers maybe dads? "

Khalid tried cutting him off .. But it was a bit too late

I looked at what he had in his hands. It was a watch, but when he put it in my hands, I saw that that it was my dads Rolex. He lost it 2 weeks prior to his death!

"OMG MOUSA SA3AT OBOY! I CANT BELIEVE YOU FOUND IT!"

I held it to my heart, and now I will have something wear that belond to him

"Mashkoor Mousa" Khalid told him

Just as he was going to go back in he said "Btw, el kel be6ali3 this chic flick because Reem won Yousif, we were all forced into watching it" and he went back in

"Khalid! this belongs to my dad! kan labis-ha bs madry shluun! Omg im so happy!"

"3asa doum hal ebtisama etkoun 3ala wayhich"

I wore it,even though it was huge and dangled around my wrist.

"Nadia" Khalid said "Goumay dakhel lets go sit with everyone else"

"Okaik!"

Dashyna dakhil wala el ga3id ou ga3ed echouf Sex and the City. I turned it off, ou 7a6ait Inglorious Bastereds

Yeah, Im not like every other girl ..

"Nadia! Wth! I won! Watching a chick flick just tortures them!"

I pulled Reem, and whispered "Reemo, 9ij its funny and all that, bs theyre guys, and with that title, god knows shefakroon"

"Oh, true"

Me and Khalid went into the kitched and made some popcorn, then we went back into the dark living room. Waza3na the plates 3ala everyone, then Khalid found a spot on the sofa.

Khalid put up one leg on the sofa, and orderd me to sit in that tiny space.

"KHALID!"

"SHHHHHHHH GA3DEN EN6ALI3" Mneera zafatny

I whispered to Khalid "Khalood no! wth! bag3ad 3al arth!"

"mu eb kaifich"

"Balla"

And then he pulled me to sit. Reem was next to me ou was looking at me from the corner of her eye hiding her smile. I tried to get up wala Khalid locks my position by wraping his leg around my thighs.

"Khalid this is not funny, your gona let me go wala a6igik"

"SHHHHH GA3D ACHOUF EL FILIM NADIA" Zafany ohwa 9out 3aly "Then he whispered "I would like to see you try you tiny thing"

"THING?" I hissed back ..

He had a smile bs was trying to hide it.

I pinched him bs chena ma sawait shay, 7awalt agoum bs maku fayda

"Khalif baru7 el 7amam"

"Nope you can hold it in"

"What the hell aby aru7!"

"Maku gouma"

"IFFFFFFFF" i said loudly which I regert, can i wasnt only yelled at bes this time pillows were thrown at me.

So i gave up.

Even though I didnt want to be there, I wanted it to last forever.

He put his hand over my shoulder, and pushed me to lean on him. After countless tries, of him not trying to get me to lean on him, he leaned on me.

I hope this is long enoughh!
