The next few weeks were very uneventful. I missed Tala like crazy, couldn’t stop crying when we took her to the airport. She loved it there and apparently the guys were all beautiful. Lucky bitch hahaha. Kady, Sara and I spent most of our time together going out or at each other’s houses.
It’s now Tuesday and I just came back from a long, exhausting day at school. I walked in the living room and kissed my parents foreheads.
“Ha baba, shlon ilmadrisa?”
“Good, nothings changed”
“Your grades?”
“Still the same”
He gave me a proud smile and nodded his head in approval. This is what I lived for, making my dad proud. We kept talking about random things when my phone rang. It was Sara.
“Allloooo”
“Mazzzooonnn!!! IM BORED!!!! COME OVER”
“Haha awal shay stop screaming, wait lemme ask my parents,” I turned to my parents and asked them if I could go.
“3indich homework?”
“I finished it at school”
“Ok khalas go have fun. Be home by 10”
“Ok thank you!”
I quickly got dressed in jeans and a fitted t-shirt and left the house. We live in the same man6aqa, just six houses away from mine so I walk over there every time I went over. I called her informing her that I was outside and she told me to come through the kitchen. I walked in the living room to find her parents sitting on the couch.
“Hala khalty, 3ami”
“Ukh mazoona zayratna, il bait nawar” Not to sound obnoxious but Sara’s parents always loved me like a second daughter. Her dad and I are pretty tight and I really do consider him as a second dad.
“Haha mashkoor 3ami biwjoudik, wain Sara?”
“ib dar Bader”
“Mashkoora,” I smiled and waved them goodbye and headed towards Bader’s room. I can hear grunts and screams from the inside and I was honestly too scared to open it but I did anyways. I walked in to find Sara on top of Bader pulling his hair and Bader trying to roll on the floor wanting to grasp free.
“Wakhray 3aani! I wont give it to you!”
“You promised ya7mar give it!!!”
“Lat chathbeeen! Giltlich itha mabi a36eech.. Bess abi!”
I was trying to figure out what she wanted from him when I saw a bag of gummy bears under Bader’s hand. Gummy bears? Seriously? I then saw actual tears of frustration come out of Sara’s eyes fa ba6aitha thi7ik!! Al7een I had tears in my eyes!! They both turned to me with wide eyes (which made me laugh even more) and untangled from each other. They both stood up, side to side, trying to act like nothing happened but I saw Sara’s sneaky punch and Bader’s “ooff”.
"Bader, hand me the gummy bears.."
"I don't want to" he told me in a whisper.
"Bader, give me the gummy bears or will I have to force them out of you?"
His face said it all, he had a look of determination on it, like he was surely gonna win, so without thinking I ran and jumped on top of him.
This sudden movement startled him so he fell on his back and I on his chest. We paused for a millisecond trying to register what happened, but then continued to roll around the room pulling each other’s hair and punching each other’s stomach. Yes, Bader and I.
After a few hundred bruises, Sara (who by the way had the gummy bears the whole time (I thought he had the gummy bears and he thought I had them) and was looking at us) finally decided to separate us. We laughed for over 5 minutes straight.
After an hour, we were still in our laughing state. Bader and I were playing C.O.D with so much intensity; it hurt looking away from the screen.
“Minu 3inda il sa3a?”
“It’s almost 5 sh3indich?”
She opened her eyes wide and got up and started running out of the room. “5arraaaaa! My tutor biyii ay degeeegaaa!! ROSE MY TUUUTOOORRR..” then her voice faded away indicating that she was already downstairs.
Bader turned to me and gave me one of those beautiful smiles and asked, “So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?”
“More call of duty?”
“Hell yeaaaahh”
And that’s what we did, all day. He was hilarious, at one point I had to pause the game to recover from my laughter. AND he calls me “kid” for some reason I don’t understand.
Anyways, it was now around 9 and we were now sprawled down on the floor with BAGS of licorice all around us laughing at a joke he just read. We lay down on our backs with our bodies close to each other just staring at the ceiling.
“You wanna know something kid?” I turned my head sideways and gave him a smile, “I haven’t laughed this much in a while”
I didn’t know what to say, I wasn’t the emotional type so I closed his eyes with my hands and quietly sat on his stomach laughing.
“NOOOOO GET OFF OF ME!”
“Say the magiiccc worrrddddd”
“Pleaaaasee”
“Noooo the OTHER magic worddd”
“What magic wordddd??”
“Oh you know it;)”
“7illfaayyy! Waaay inzain! Mara7 akhalis lay bacher”
“Hahaha yalla im waiting”
“Fessenhaffer Hasenfeffer Bellybutton Engledink Humplebur”
“See that wasn’t so hard”
I got up and went to sit on his beanbag and he just looked at me with these confused eyes.
“Where the hell do you come up with this stuff?”
“Barney”
“Insane”
We sat there playing, but not talking. It was comfortable silence. It was nice. My phone beeped so I went to my bag and got my phone out but the strap held on to my phones chain and the contents fell out. Crap. Bader laughed and got up to help me.
“Why do you need all this crap with you?”
“You never know when you may need it!”
“Haha yeah ok… Whats this?” he grabbed my notebook that had doodles on the front.
“No no no Bader please give that back”
“Why? Hahaha” he got up and held the notebook over his head, he was much taller than I was and even jumping didn’t help so I begged.
“Please Bader, it’s personal pleaaaaseee”
“I wanna see” then he opened the notebook. Waaayy fashla!!
“Oh my god Mezna”
“I know I know its bad” I tried getting the notebook from him but he held me back.
“Bad? Mezna this is beautiful”
“It is?” I gave him a defeated look.
“Yeah, Sara never told me that you are an artist,” he told me in amazement.
“Its because she doesn’t know.. No one does”
“These are good, they are all good”
“Thanks that means a lot, now will you give me my notebook?”
He smiled and gave me my notebook and I shoved it in my bag.
“Why don’t you major in art?”
“My dad doesn’t want an art major, he wants a lawyer”
“But what do you want?”
“That doesn’t matter. Do you mind if we keep this to ourselves and never mention it again?” He gave me a sad smile and shrugged.
“Only if you want to”
It was awkward for a few moments after it but we then acted like it never happened.
