Confessions.27

Walking their way to Slider, Abdullah kindly asked Rayan to wait while he puts his name on the waiting list. Slider, being the "it place" for Kuwaiti's, was fully packed. Rayan knew they had to wait estimatedly for 20 minutes and she didn't seem to mind.

Pulling out her phone, she didn't notice Abdullah walking back to her. She heard the shutter of a camera and looked up to see Abdullah standing with a "Yes, I took a picture of you" look. She gasped. "Show meeee!" she said as she dodged towards the phone in Abdullah's hand. Examining the picture, she didn't look so bad. Her side part and beautiful big curls were falling on her face, covering one eye and complimenting her beautiful features.

Abdullah chuckled, "En3ijabtay b'nafsech?" he asked and Rayan smiled. "Wait adezlich eyaha." he said and Rayan just nodded. She scrolled through her timeline on twitter and realized that Hamad tweeted that he was on his way to Slider. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach but were soon vanished when the Filipino worker called Abdullah's name. He nudged her with his elbow and ushered for her to walk in front of him, "Ladies first." he whispered with a smile on his face. Rayan ran her hand through her curled hair, give it some volume before walking in.

Walking ever so gracefully and elegantly in her heels, some girls were staring at that confident girl accompanied by an attractive smiling man. Being normal Kuwaiti's, some started to whisper but it didn't matter to her. She just wanted to have a good meal and have a good laugh with Abdullah, who kept smiling like an idiot.

Once they reached their table, Rayan turned around and looked at Abdullah to ask him which seat he would like. "Ge3day entay hnak, le2ana adrey fech ma t7ebeen a7ad yshoufech ou entay takleen." he said with a chuckle as he pulled the chair for her.

After joking around with the waiter, who was very friendly, they placed their order then looked at each other with a "what now?" expression on both of their faces. "Yallaah ambeh 7adey you3anaaa!" Rayan said while rubbing her tummy. Abdullah laughed and said that he was too.

After almost 10 minutes, a waiter swifted towards them with their appetizers. Rayan looked up at Abdullah, then realized a figure  walking behind him. A tall, fit, groomed man was walking alongside a girl and then they were seated at a table. Rayan stared at that figure for mere seconds then realized the identity. Hamad.

Hamad didn't realize Rayan was right in front of him, but he took the chair that gave her his back, leaving the only other chair for his companion. It was a medium heighted girl, with blond ash hair and bangs that were dramatically covering both her eyes. The clothes on her body didn't make a good job in covering, she was too exposed. With her leggings and sleeveless tight top, Rayan wondered how she was comfortable.

The girl suddenly started laughing and extended her arm to high five Hamad. Jealousy was raging inside Rayan. She started wondering who that girl could be. Rayan's downfall was that she always wants to believe the best in people. She tried her best to fight the urge to ask Hamad who he was with, but she didn't want to look like the crazy jealous girlfriend.

Trying to focus on her meal and on Abdullah, she couldn't help but feel incomparable to that girl. She had the most beautiful big brown eyes and her full lips looked feminine, curled up in a smile. She wondered if that girl was Hamad's "type". And that was when her jealousy got the best of her.

Settling the bill and walking out of the restaurant, Hamad still didn't notice Rayan. Instead, he was having a wonderful time with Fay, not feeling the slightest feeling of guilt. At midnight, they were both back at home. Considering it was still Ramadan so it was very common for people to stay up late.

Slipping under her white duvet, her phone starting ringing. Without reading the caller ID, she picked it up. "Aloo?" she said, not being her cheerful smiling self. "Hala baba" Hamad said, stretching on his bed. The images of that girl kept popping up in Rayan's head so she settled with silence. "Te3ashaitay?" Hamad asked, she was used to this question of his. He seemed to ask about her meals everyday, making sure she got the nutrition she needed. "Ee." Rayan said, and Hamad was waiting for her to ask him if he had dinner or not. But all he heard was silence.

"Shenu te3ashaitay?" he asked. "Slider." Rayan said and Hamad almost choked on his own saliva. "9ej? 7ta ana." he said while faking a laugh. "Eeeh adrey sheftek." Rayan said coldly through the phone. "7elfay? 7safaa ma sheftich! Laish ma gelteeley!" he said. Rayan debated on whether or not she should ask about the girl who looked like one of Victoris secrets' models, but she decided not to. "Madrey. Ya3ney enta ma kent brou7ek 3shan agoulek." she said.

"Eeeh kent mwadey bent khaltey. Lawe3at chabdey ou ehia t7en." he said, thankful that explanation got to him just in time. Rayan sighed out of relief and started smiling. Hamad noticed her sudden change of mood and put the pieces together. "La7tha la7tha. Entay tawa kentay mnafsa 3balech mwa3ed?" he asked and Rayan bit her lip, not knowing what to say. "Yaa 3umrey ely ygharouuun!" he yelled through the phone and Rayan chuckled. Hamad knew Rayan was never going to suspect anything, she was too nice to ever believe the worst in him.

They kept talking on the phone for exactly 3 hours, until Hamad fell asleep. Rayan was wide awake, listening to him breathing on the other end of the phone. She pictured him sleeping innocently, with his messy hair and his arms all over the bed. She smiled as she ended the phone call and slept too.


I know I've been inactive for the past couple of weeks, but I'm hoping to change that.:D. Feedback is appreciated.x
