your guardian angel [ 17 ]

" We have to go back , lunch is ready " he turned to leave


" No 3eesa , wait.. " without thinking she went to stop him standing in front of his handsome face

" What were you going to tell me ?" she almost knew what he was going to say

" Uhh.. that am really hungry , we really should go back .. "

" Ohh .. you're probably right .." she looked down and stepped back to let him pass , there was no possible way to explain how disappointed she was

They walked in the dining room together , both their faces on the floor ..

" Yalla yumma ta3alaw il akil burad " 3eesa's mother told them

They sat quietly facing each other , 3eesa's mother and father quickly hit it off with Raseel talking to her about college , nursery and her family

" Ee 9ij yumma shloon oboch al7een ?"

" Il 7mdelaah 5alty beredoon awal ma oboy yseer a7san enshallah "

" Allah yredda likom bil salama ya bnyty .." his father felt sorry for her

" Teslam 3amy "

Raseel was very busy chattiring with 3eesa's parents that she didn’t notice 3eesa's worried eyes glancing over at her every half second , Rawa2 was the only one aware of that and she kept looking at him and giggling

" Ssssshhh " he whispered to her every time she caught his curious eyes looking at Raseel

" ee yumma e7na bensafer b3d yoomain nwadee 3eesa , akeed daraitay 3n 7alat eeda…" 3eesa's mother began

Raseel quickly looked at 3eesa's hand and then at his brown eyes , her eyes were sparkly from the tears that was about to be spilled

She didn’t know which feeling was stronger , her missing him so much or the sadness from what Msa3ad did to the guy she loved

" Ee 5alty , " she looked at the table " Allah yshafee w yredda lina bil salama enshallah .."

" Ra7 ared enshallah .. " 3eesa suddenly interrupted his eyes were so tense and concentrated on Raseel " A7awel ared eb asra3 wagt .."


Just then 3eesa's mother and father exchanged looks , like they knew exactly what was going on with their love-sick son , why he didn’t want to leave , why being around that girl made him happy so much

" Ee yumma mawa9eech deeray balich 3la nafsich .." his mother continued

" La 3eesa bas yseer a7san enshallah benred , kilha cham yoom , ila magilteelee yuba , matabeen shay nyeeblich mn hnak ?" his father wanted to all he can to make her feel comfortable

3eesa smiled , he knew what his parents were up to .. they obviously caught him !

Raseel giggled " La 3ammy mabee ela tredoon bil salama .. " she looked at 3eesa

"La lat7ateen wana booch , ay shay tabeenaa goolay 7g 3eesa hnee mara7 ygaser ma3ach .. "

She blushed " La 3amme walah mo me7taja shay.."

Raseel loved the fact that she was being taken care of , since her parents left no one ever paid that much attention to her and her relationship with Msa3ad ? well , lets just say that caring wasn’t on his list

When they were done , they all got up and went upstairs , after a nice afternoon at 3eesa's house it was time to go home so Raseel excused herself and 3eesa was ready to take her home


" I had a lot of fun today , thank you for inviting me "

" You're welcome .." he gave her one of those killer smiles

" So when are you leaving exactly ? "

" On Monday , my plane leaves at 9 A.M "

" Ohh , " she wanted to be as normal as possible , but that wasn’t working at all !

3eesa noticed how upset she was and it broke his heart

" So , Rawa2 tells me you two have a lot of fun painting in nursery .. " he tried to lighten the mood

" Oh yeah , its so much fun ! I LOVE to paint and draw and stuff.. nothing professional though , but it’s a blast ! " her voice was very excited , clearly this was one of her favorite things

He just smiled at her , listening carefully to every detail she had to say

" But you know am really bad at drawing , once I drew a horse and all the kids thought it was a flower .. it was a disaster …"

He laughed at her that he almost let go of the wheel

" 9ij ! I mean Yiykes lets just stick to colorful meaningless doodling and we'll be fine"

" Yeah I know what you mean , I suck at it too "

" Well , I didn’t say I .. suuucked .." she made a puppy face and 3eesa almost went out of his mind when he looked at her

" So tell me .. " he said getting her attention once again

" what are your plans for tomorrow ? "

" Well , actually I was going to hang out with Jood .. but for some reason she canceled on me and she said she'll explain later.. so.. I think am free "

" How about we hang out ? I want to take you somewhere"

" Another surprise ? " she grinned again excited at the thought

" You can call it that if you want .. how about I pick you up at 4 ? "

" Sounds great "

" Okay bas na9ee7a .. don’t wear something fancy or something that’s hard to wash "

" Hard to wash ? "

" Just do that okay ? , you'll figure it out tomorrow "

" Hmmmm fine , I'll see you tomorrow then " her smile never failed to make his heart do some flips

" See you tomorrow Raseel " She blushed so hard this time that she felt her cheeks might be on fire , it felt amazing to hear him say her name

She got out of the car saying hi to her guards who were sincerely guarding her beautiful home and got inside where she found Jood sitting on the couch watching Rachel Ray

" Well hellooooo you , what are you doing here ? "

" Hanging out " she waved her hand lazily to her friend as if it explained it all , Raseel took off her coat and told Jood to follow her upstairs

" Sooooo how did go ? MEETING THE PARENTS ! " Jood made it sound like it was a big movie commercial

" I already met his parents before , they're amazing people .. so nice and oh the food ! mashallah his mom is a great cook "

" Hmmmm…. Raseel you have to take me there ! I wana taste their food "

" Oh my god stop it you sound like a crazy hungry fat person ! "

" Ooooowwww " Jood made a face and fell on the bed " So !! thak il yoom ele you ditched me ! guess who I saw!!? " she got up again and was waving her hands excitedly in the air

" Who !? " Raseel hurried to sit beside her on the bed

" Ya3goub !!!!!! " She grinned

" No way !! "

" Yes way !! I was like HELLLOOOOO HOTNESS!!! "

Raseel stopped and looked questionably at her friend

" In my mind of course ! , any way we started talking ! and he loves books too ! and hes sarcastic ! and he totally got my jokes !! and …"


" Wooow sounds like some progress , "

" Yeah , weird .. but am not pulling off the whole oh my god I like a guy thing am I ? anyway !! he's really cool .." Jood wasn't that mushy mushy type when being around guys , she was more like i love you , you idoit why cant you see that sort of girl

" Ooooh do you like hiiiim ?"

" I think I do… he's such a gentleman "

" Yeah that I can relate too " Raseel thought because Ya3goub and 3eesa were best friends they had the same nice actions

" So we're hanging out tomorrow , me and Ya3goub .. I hope you're not offended coz I canceled our plans "

" Jood we had NO plans , we said we wanted to make plans " She laughed at her friend

" Hmmm true .. "

" You don’t want to steal anything from my closet ? " Raseel offered

" No , I need something simple and washable "

" Huh ? " Raseel was confused

" ANYWAAAAY !! yallaaaa breakfast at Tiffany's ! " Jood went to grab the DVD and both gilrs headed to watch the classic together , they loved watching breakfast at Tiffany's

It was almost 4 the next day and Raseel was just finishing off her pony tail when 3eesa called to inform her he was downstairs , she listened to his warning

She wore a cute baggy white long sleeved shirt and gray sweat pants , wrapped her neck with a navy blue scarf and was ready to go

" Nice job " There was nothing sexier to a guy than a girl in sweats and a pony tail

" Well thank you , not so bad yourself ! " 3eesa wore a pair of navy blue Abercrombie and Fitch sweats and a long sleeved white shirt , Raseel loved the way he looked in sweats

" So where are we going ?"

" Il 9aber zain " he tried to be vague

" 3eeesaaaa "

" 7annaaaaa .. ne6ray "

She laughed , soon they reached a cute small place that looked like a shop , only it didn’t have a sign or anything and the glass windows were all covered with white papers " Whats this ? " she asked

" You'll see " he reached the door and opened it for her , as soon as she was inside she heard music

There on the floor she saw her best friend going through w pile of CD's and on the other side was Ya3goub preparing several cans of paint and different kinds of brushes and sponges


The whole place was white , accept for a corner which lay some beautiful random paintings

"OH my god ! , you're kidding !! " she looked at the 3 of them in shock

" You were in on this? " she asked Jood

" Don’t look at me , they dragged me in " she smiled and pointed at Ya3goub and 3eesa

" Ya3goub is very artistic you know, he owns this little studio and I thought it would be a great idea for us all to enjoy ourselves .." 3eesa explained

Raseel was still staring at plain walls in shock , " Don’t you like it ? "

Ya3goub asked

" Are you kidding !!? LETS PAINT !! "


She quickly went over to check out the different colors and brushes , 3eesa followed and Ya3goub went to help Jood with the CD's

3eesa and Raseel quickly started on coloring the white walls with different random patterns in red and yellow , Ya3goub stood in front of the opposite wall drawing an apple tree and Jood stood next to him trying to figure out why he picked to draw an apple tree!!

Later they moved to finger painting on the floor ! they all dipped their hands in different beautiful colors and drew whatever came to their heads

They all had a blast until the studio was a colorful mess ! a beautiful one though ..

" Tomorrow we come to check it out lmn yanshef kil shay " Ya3goub said

" That’s cool ! " Raseel shouted excitedly , they all looked at her

She had a red smudge on her left cheek and a green one on her forehead she looked so adorable

They all laughed at her

Everyone had a great time , after they washed up they went to johny Rockets their favorite to grab some burgers for takeaway and head home

" So how about we hang out tomorrow ? " 3eesa asked Raseel when they were near her house again

" Your last day .." Raseel looked down

" Yeah , don’t think of it that way though .. think of it as another surprising adventure with me " he left up his fingers and ran them across her soft cheek

That sure made her smile inside and out , just the idea of being with him was enough to make her nervous and excited and now he threw in the words SURPRISE and ADVENTURE so she knew she had to prepare herself !

" Okay so any hints 7g bacher ? " She gave him a playful flirty look with her eyelashes hoping he would give her a clue about tomorrow

He laughed at her " Wear the WARMEST clothes "
