Previously ;


AbdulWahab had a fight with his father causing him to storm out of the house and go to the Shalaih, where he hears yelling and it turns out to be Shaikha with some man. After punching him up for mistreating Shaikha, Wahab discovered that the man works for Shaikha and her father.

" So are you going to tell me how you barged in here like superman, even though you weren't on saving people duty or should i guess? "



She was looking at me and i had a hard time realizing what she was saying , her eyes had me lost and honestly all i heard was " superman and guess " but i knew it had something to do with what just happened



You know , with me almost killing her driver and all ..




I smiled " I thought i told you , the door of the porch was open "




She gave me a ' don't joke around , am serious ' look tilting her pretty head my way




I bit my lip and looked at the table then back at her " I heard you shouting .. Shaikha .. no driver yells at their boss like that , wain ga3deen e7na? "




I saw sadness cover her beautiful features , she shifted in her seat looking at the ground " It's just .. complicated "




" So is my story but that doesn't mean you're not gona make me tell it now, does it?"




She looked back at me and gave me a crooked smile " if i tell you - and theres really not much to tell - would you promise to tell me what brought you here ? "




I nodded " promise "




" Okay , " She sighed " My father is .. difficult .. Sam7an was working for us for as long as i can remember and- well let's say his primary job is to keep an eye on me more than drive me around .. he's not exactly a ' driver ' and .. if something wrong happened to me , god knows what my father might do to him. So don't blame him for going all crazy "




" That's not an excuse to talk to you like that " I was still angry , who the hell did that bag of dirt think he is to talk to her like that? But Shaikha interrupted my thoughts ..




" Ever since my mother died .. my father made sure i was well protected giving to my crazy personality. He might not show it , telling me to go for everything and ' live the moment ' but i know what he's thinking almost all the time "




I looked in her eyes and i could tell there was so much more to that story , there's so much she wanted to say i could tell ..



But for that moment , i decided to take all i could get.




" I don't really mind him being over protective , i don't. I just .. want him to loosen up a bit , to be honest with me .." Her voice was lower , her eyes warmer




" He tells me to do whatever i want , to live my life and be happy when he's controlling all that behind my back " she took a breath " I love my father so much .. but i just want him to trust me. I want HIM to be the happy one "




I nodded " You know he only does that because he loves you " The words came out of my mouth and my mind was slowly processing them ..




It was something i should've told myself before i stormed out of the house. I was the one who should've known that ..




Flashbacks of my father's angry face crossed my mind and i instantly felt my heart fall



" So tell me " She began again




I looked out to the sea behind her , the waves crashing and arriving at shore , each shining with hints of sun rays on top , the relaxing sound not too far away from us ..




All i wanted to do was run and jump in , acting like a big baby i know ..





But it seemed like a very effective way to blow off some steam. I looked back at her staring at me and patiently waiting for me to continue , having the courtesy not to pressure me even further






" Your story is not too different from mine .. i .. just stormed out of the house not knowing where to go and i suddenly found myself here "





Her eyes were sympathetic and dazzling , it made me want to share more, The warmth in them made me want to stare all day




" He was angry at me for no apparent reason. Well, no recent one at least. He started saying all those things about what i did in the past and i just .. couldn't stay "





" You shouldn't be angry at him .. just like you told me , it's coming from the right place "




" Wow. We both have daddy issues "




Suddenly , the most perfect pure sound filled the air





It was the sound of her laugh. Just an honest , genuine laugh





I was glad i changed the mood , lightened up the atmosphere surrounding us




She looked outside then back at me





" You know , Sam7an also brought food " She gave me a pair of crazy eyes




" What?. Was.. was this your plan to trap me then eat me? "





She laughed again and playfully punched my arm




We repeated what we did last time , we had another picnic on the beach ..




And to my surprise , i wasn't sick of it. I liked it because it reminded me of our first picnic at the exact same spot




Our talk was nothing like the one we had just had , there was no pain .. no pressure .. no gloom.





The big grey cloud above our heads was gone.




" So .. is this was you always do on your free time? come here and enojy the company of the sea? "




" No. I actually do A LOT more " she rolled her eyes at me




" Let me guess , shopping? "




She threw a tissue at me " Seriously ? all this and you throw a TISSUE? " I looked down at my Abs and i saw her stare for a split second




" Shutup "



I smiled and gazed at her again , she blushed and looked away




" No it depends on my mood " she began again " I go to my sister's clinic sometimes she's a dentist "




" Oh that's cool you help out? "



" No really. I usually go put on the nurse costume , talk to the poor kids then give them stickers and candy when they leave. The first part's good but my sister doesn't appreciate the ' sugar induced drugs ' i give them " She made a face and i smiled





" It goes well , you know it's fun .. until the children start crying .. and then i cry too. Out loud. in front of them. Remembering MY awful days with the dentist, God! i hate the dentist. Which is ironic because my sister is one! i don't know WHERE she got her genes from "




She stopped and i was startled , i didn't know whether to laugh or be scared.




" Yeah , seems to me like she also got all the brains in the family "




She gave me a look " well i don't do that ALL the time am not crazy "




" Oh god there's more " I crinkled my eyes playfully , pretending to be cautious of what's coming out of her pretty mouth




" I also go to this cute little center where art classes are held "




" Oh that's nice , you paint? "




" No i just go there to watch now. I used to .. until they kicked me out for telling the teacher his painting was ugly " she bit her lip




I raised my brow



" What?! he made a pretty mean comment about mine , i was working on it for two weeks! "




" What did you draw ? "




" An Orange and two Grapes "




" Wow, yeah i heard Picasso started out that way too "




" I go watch them , you know to feel like am learning something too " She said ignoring my silly comment




It's true i was making jokes , but i admired her personality ..




I didn't know if it was her craziness or her genuine heart that had me captivated




But i knew that all of her together , she was nothing like i'd ever known.




The feel of my vibrating phone suddenly interrupted , " I gotta take this ,will you excuse me? "



She smiled and nodded " Take your time "




I got up and moved away from the spot we were sitting



" Hala yuba "




" 3bdelwahab yuba , wainik ? "




The fatherly voice of the man who raised me , the worry and pain he was feeling suddenly made my heart sink




I could sense he regretted everything he said back at the house from the moment i walked out , i could hear him aching inside wanting his son to be alright




He dealt with me for all those years , trying to do a good job .. a better job .. having to preform duties of two parents instead of one and that for me , was just enough to make him more than a man in my eyes





" Ana b5air yuba la t7atee , ana yait el Shalaih a'3ayer jaw shway "



I looked back at the beautiful lady that awaited me and my stomach tied knots , i was exactly where i wanted to be



" Ee zain tswe yuba , ment rad elbait? "




My mind quickly thought of Shaikha , what about her?




Is she even going home? i couldn't just leave ..




And am sure as hell wasn't going to let that shit of a driver take her home




" Ana ashouf yuba w adeg 3laik enshallah "




I hung up the phone and headed towards her again




" That was my dad .. "




" Is everything okay? "




" Great " I said




" The sun's almost setting .. What are you gonna do ? " i asked




" I don't know yet , but am sure not gonna stay here alone it's getting late "




" Alone? "



She smiled shyly " ofcourse you're here but i meant the Shalaih is empty and the girls aren't .."




" I get it "




" I'll go clean up for a bit , you go relax you need it .. " she told me





" If you need anything am right next to you "




" Good to know " she smiled



I helped her get everything cleaned from the shore , then i politely thanked her for lunch and left



I entered the Shalaih feeling weird without my buddies being there , i jumped on the couch again , not a single trace of anger or madness in me this time




Just trying to lay back and relax ..



The thought of Shaikha only a few steps away drove me crazy. Even though i spent all the afternoon with her i still couldn't get enough




I knew i was being selfish but i didn't want to be away from her





I took a hot shower easing my muscles for a bit , after an hour i was thinking of checking on her.




I went downstairs and my eyes lay upon a lovely tall figure by the beach , with her back to me staring out at sea



I smiled and slowly made my way towards her




" Hey .."




She quickly turned around with a crooked smile



" Hey " Her voice was soft , easy and attractively low




" Did i interrupt something? "




She shook her head




" Did you talk to the girls? "




" I was just going to call Sam7an to take me home .. "




Once i heard his name i felt my throat block



" Can't anyone else get you? "




" They can't , plus it's a long drive "




" I'll take you " I blurted out




" What? "




" I'll take you home , or at least let me drive you somewhere where your friend can pick you up , just don't ride with that dude " i wasn't trying to be the psychotic type and nor was i bossing her around. I just wanted her to be safe




" Wahab .. "



I looked at her waiting for her to continue but she didn't. I saw the corners of her eyes crinkle beautifully and she said , " Okay "




" Okay whaT? "




" I'll go back with you , you can drop me off at the co-operative next to my house and my friend will pick me up from there "





" Okay cool " I smiled



" Cool "




She looked at the sea again




" Can i .. just do one more thing before we leave? " She asked me



" Sure " I told her




And suddenly she took off her shoe and put her toes in the water, lifting up her long baby blue dress so it doesn't get wet




" Shaikha what are you doing ? " I asked




She smiled and continued to put her other leg in as well , i could see her shivering the water was freezing for sure and small waves were crashing by the shore




She was just standing there , eyes closed and breathing in





" I'd like to feel the water before i leave this place , to remember the tingles i get from it .. how it effects my heartbeat and how my skin feels .. "




I sighed and took off mine as well , i walked in slowly behind her and i could feel her body tense up alarmed, realizing i was only a few inches away from her




She slowly turned around to face me




" What? " i asked




" Am waiting for your silly comment on this one "




" There isn't one " I smiled




" WhaT? why? " She looked cute with her brows creased and confused staring up at me




" Because .. if you'll allow me " I looked down on our shivering feet drowned gently " I want to remember how this feels as well "



I slowly reached out for her waist and gently wrapped my hands around her shaking figure



" How what feels? " Her voice was almost gone , scared but yet peaceful and safe




" How in this crazy cold weather, with our bodies almost freezing , our legs dipped in there like two frozen sticks of ice cream we don't feel a thing because the warmth we're feeling right now being this close to each other beats the hell out of everything else around us "




She was looking up at me her eyes twinkling against the lights behind me then she looked down again and closed her eyes, savoring the moment




Interrupted again her phone began ringing to snap us back into reality




" We should go " I gently whispered to her
