"Nemtay?" he whispered through the phone and her lips curled into a smile. She kept her eyes shut, too tired to open them up. "Rayounaa?" he whispered again, his sleepy voice now became Rayan's favorite sound. "Ma3ak." she said in a hush, when all she has been doing for the last hour was concentrate on his voice, his laugh and the times when he would laugh at his own jokes and she would laugh along.


"3ayaraaa." he said, his voice rising into a teasing tone. Rayan chuckled slightly. As tired as she was, she didn't want to hang up. "7abeebtey tabeen asedah 3ashan tnameen?" he asked, and Rayan replied with a no. "Ba3th el'nas 3endhum madresa bacher waakk." he teased and Rayan giggled, "chub." she said.


"Enzain gouliley shetsaween bel'thanaweya?" he asked, trying his best to create a conversation that would involve Rayan talking and him listening. Because at this point, her voice was the most feminine one he has come across.


"Arge9." she said sarcastically and Hamad chuckled loudly. "Wallah ye6la3 menich hal'ga6at elbaykhaa." he said jokingly. "Te3alamt menik." Rayan said as she caused him to chuckle, and it filled her with joy. "Gad'haaa?" he asked in a threatening tone. "Laa laaa  khala9 atghashmar wallah." Rayan said as she giggled uncontrollably.


After a moment of silence, Hamad spoke up. "7abeebtey 6ala3tey makhaga." he said. Rayan chuckled as she asked him to shut up. "Entay ma 3endich ghair chub? Kela chub chub chub. Khala9 yubaa basket zain." he said and remained silent.


"Laaa yallah 3ad Hamad tekfaa." she said with a chuckle, but still no word from Hamad. "7amouud?" she called, and all she got in return was silence. "Yallah 3aad heyyy." she begged but Hamad was stronger than that. "Khala9 3ayal yallah good night." she said, pulling of a great act of being pissed.


Hamad went quiet for a minute, and then the familiar upbeat of a song Rayan liked started playing. She sheepishly smiled as Hamad chuckled, "Yebt rasech wla ma yebtah? Ma 3endna banat yez3louun 3alaina ou ynamouuun." he said jokingly and Rayan chuckled. "Kalb." she said as she asked him to turn up the volume.


The way you are by Bruno Mars was playing and they were both sheepishly smiling.
(Maney katba the lyrics cause I'm pretty sure everyone knows them:p)


Rayan fell asleep with a grin on her face, Hamad made her feel like she was worth it. And she loved him for that. Rayan longed to hear the 3 words from his lips, the words that would make her fall for him, stronger that ever.


Hamad hung up on her and lay awake. He kept thinking of Rayan and how she counted on him. He was the man in her life. He was the shoulder she needed for support. He was the person she wanted to run to, to mend all her scars and kiss all her pain away.


Scrolling through his bbm, a feeling of guilt ran through his veins and into his heart. To Rayan, Hamad was the only man in her life. And he knew it. But to him, Rayan was one of the "other" girls, but she didn't know it.


None of these girls made his heart beat a little faster. None of these girls curled his lips into a smile just by remaining silent. None of these girls ran to him and embraced the man in him.


After he had deleted almost all of the girls on his bbm list, he switched to twitter and started unfollowing the ones he knew Rayan wouldn't want him following. He stumbled upon her account and smiled at her tweets.

"I could hold you for a million years to make you feel my love."

"The reason I love you is you being you."

"You've already got me coming undone. And I'm thinking two is better than one."

"I keep building walls up but you tear them down.<3"

"I'm jealous, Okay?"


Her tweets gave her away, and he wondered if she tweeted them on purpose, for him to read. His smile only grew wider as he kept reading her tweets.


The next morning was a pleasant one, Rayan woke up and quickly got ready for school. She walked downstairs to find Abdullah fiddling with his Galaxy s3. "Morningggg" she yelled, her voice echoed and Abdullah smiled back at her. "Ekhthay gahwetech ou ta3alay bakalmech." he ordered and Rayan obeyed.


Rayan obeyed Abdullah out of respect, not fear. He always treated her like any other caring brother would treat his young sister, and how any other loving man would treat his woman.


"Sam" Rayan said and Abdullah chuckled. "Mu96ala7aat ydeedaa haa." he said and Rayan smiled, she remembered how Hamad always used that word and it gave her butterflies just thinking about it. "Shlounech ma3a omech?" he asked, and Rayan was caught off guard. "Shdaraney 3anha. Mabey akalemha." she said and Abdullah balled his fists. "Shenu ma tabeen tkalmeenha? 3abaleh b'kaifech? Omech hathey!" he yelled.


"Enta shakuu?" she said, very taken aback. Abdullah was quiet, "El'youm betrou7een lzwara fahma?" he ordered. "Khair enshallah." she said under her breath as she got up. "Yallah emshay jedamey." he said in a cold tone as he held the door open for Rayan.


On the way to school, Rayan kept ignoring the lump in her throat. She hated this side of Abdullah. The side she rarely sees, but still scares her. She triggered his anger and now she has to put up with it.
