Chapter 11

We woke up at 8:30 too excited, went in the boys room and started jumping on them! They woke up excited too not minding us jumping on their beds. "Yalla tara walla nrou7 mendounkum!" We all shouted at their ears and hit them with pillows. They also didnt mind, they woke up instantly. They were probably too excited.

I wanted to wear something really comfy. So I wore leggings. And I wanted to wear the hugest comfiest sweater I could find. So I headed to the boys room, I thought I could borrow a sweater from my brother. "N.O Do you not understand the concept of rejecting?" Faisal answered being himself. "Hey, you could borrow mine?" Nawaf suggested. I smiled. "No thanks, no need for that" I replied. "So now you understand what is rejecting?" Faisal said sarcasticly. "You kidding! TAKE IT!" Nawaf insisted. I blushed and took it. 
I got dressed and we all waited for Noura and Reema to finish. I checked my phone. 1 Bbm. Nawaf.

Nawaf: My future wife is wearing my sweater.

I blushed like crazy!!

(R) Latifa: and never giving it back! ;) 

Nawaf: 7alalik!! ma y3'la 3aleek!

I blushed again!

When we finally all got ready we got out to look for a cab. We found one, and all squeezed in. "Train station, please" we obviously sounded excited. "Ohh, what is this a senior trip?" Taxi dude said. "Oh, no were all just cousins." All of us replied except Noura. "AND FRIENDS!" Noura gave us a look. We all laughed at her. "So where are you going to?" Taxi dude seemed nice. "Alton Towers!" Nawaf answered. "Oh, how fun! But be carefull there's a rain storm comming at about 5 o'clock. So just remember be out of there early." Oh shit! That ruined the mood. "But its still 9:30 untill you get there, there's still plenty of time to have fun untill 5." He's right. 

We arrived at the train station, got tickets for train number 06 and got in the train.
"Shit my bag is at the counter, I'll go get it before the door closes" I wanted to get down when Nawaf grabbed my hand. "Wait no, the train's leaving! You cant go! You wont make it!" I smiled. "Its fine I'm just getting my bag, besides its not far. There it is." I pointed at the counter near the entrance. Nawaf let go. I went down running grabbed my bag and was running breathlessly back when they announced *Train number 06 is leaving* It caught Nawaf's attention so he held out his hand I was about to reach it when the sound from the train announced again. *Door closing* I took back my hand without thinking when Nawaf grabbed my shoulders and got me in before that door cracked my chest open. "Thankyou!!" I thanked him breathlessly. "Sure!" He smiled the sexiest smile ever! I could feel my heart bumping out of my chest.

1hour passed in the train and when we finally were about to arrive. *10 minutes till we reach our destination* I was talking with Reema and Noura the whole time. Reema wasnt really paying attention she was on her phone 24/7. Faisal too. I looked at noura and raised a brow knowing what's it theyre doing. Nawaf slept half way.
When we finally arrived. I tapped on Nawaf's shoulder when he woke up terrified screaming "NO L6EEFA!" Oh my gosh! Was he dreaming about me? That is awkward because everyone fell silent! He looked at me rubbed his eyes. "Oh shit i'm sorry!" I laughed and blushed. "No, its fine. Yalla were here."

We arrieved there. And bought the fast pass tickets. First ride looked AH-MAZING! It had the straight drop right into the ground. We all settled in place. It takes 5 person  each row, so it exactly fit us. It was first Nawaf, me, Noura, Reema and offcourse Faisal. It was amazing! I didnt feel scared or anything when the drop came it felt like a nice breeze in my face! I called dibs on taking the photo for my self to hang it on my mirror back home next to my first picture of when Faisal got out of the hospital. "But I promise I'll copy them for you." I didnt want them to feel like I was hogging. 

We finished all of the rides there and had a REALLY AWESOME TIME! We were so hungry. Did not eat a thing! "I'm SO hungry! We should go eat." I suggested. everyone agreed. "Wait I'm going to the toilet, you all go eat, I'll catch up." I really had to go! "I'll come with you" Nawaf jumped. "Nawaf! ya3ni 3ady td5l the girls' room?" They all laughed. "La, bs ya3ni astannak?" 7araam ra7amta! Bs lessa 3ady ya3ny. "La 3ady thanks. Rou7 kel ent ana bajeekum." 
I was looking for the toilet. Could not find it. I checked my phone to see what time is it. 4:30. I hope the taxi dude was wrong about the storm. Although it looks quit cloudy. I did not find the toilet! Where is that damn toilet? I thought. I asked like everyone! I was lost. Couldnt find my way back. The rain started pouring heavily! Lightning, thunder. There was no signal here! I couldnt call them. 

Nawaf's Side:


She was late! I was so worried! Its been an hour! There was no connection. "Where's l6eefa? Its been an hour?" I asked worried. "Yeah! it is! and I cant reach her. I'll go check on her." Noura said. She stood up and went to the door. There were security guarding it. "I'm sorry we cant let you out untill the storm's over!" Shit! I thought. "But my friends out there." Answered Noura. "I'm sorry, I cant help you." I rushed over to Noura and the security. "Hey! Our friend is out there! and we HAVE to help her!" I yelled. Faisal and Reema came. "Hey, whats wrong!?" They asked. I was so frustrated and worried. "L6EEFA IS OUT THERE IN THE STORM AND WE CANT REACH HER!!!" I screamed! "Relax! We'll just go find her." Bardeen! "THEY WONT LET  US OUT! You know what never mind you all STAY HERE! I'll go find her! if you move we'll all be lost and cant find each other." I pushed the security out of the way and went outside. They were about to follow me untill tyey realized its too dangerous to get out! It was crazy the wind would just blow me off! But I kept going and going... I couldnt find her.

 Half an hour passed by, but I wasnt going to give up. She is my future wife I couldnt lose her! Untill I saw something from far. It looked like a black huge sweater covering someone curled up behind a hotdog cart thats knocked down over that someone! I realized this was my sweater and that that was L6eefa! I ran over to her and pulled her up. She blacked out. "L6EEFA WAKE UP!!" I screamed. "CAN ANY ONE HELP PLEASE HELP!!" No one was there. I tried calling but there was no connection. And phones can attract lightning. I carried her in my arms and looked for a dry place or a store or a restoraunt. I couldnt find my way back either. There was this souvineer store. I crashed in and L6eefa and I both collapsed on the door step. "SOMEONE CALL THE AMBULANCE FROM A LANDLINE! NOW!" I think he's the store manager or something. I had my back laid on the wall. L6eefa passed out on my chest. We were soaking wet and freezing. When everything I see turned black and I couldnt here a thing.

Chapter 10

Sorry for the delay you guys, I know you hate me but here's an awesome chapter! Although I promise more juicy chapters coming up Enshalla!
---------------------------------------




We woke up the next morning nwadde3 our mothers. It wasnt really the sad goodbye. It was more like the happy goodbye. You know, so we get to have more privacy oo na5e4 ra7atna mafe a7ad ygoullek la2, especially when your with your closest friends and family who are even more careless and thoughtless as you. When they got out, Faisal sang "OMMI MSAFRA W HA3MEL 7AFLA!" We all laughed and sang along.

We decided to go have breakfast in Ladurè Harrods. I wore dark jeans, white tanktop, some necklaces, a casual baby blue blazer, and a pair of Converse. I let my hair down in its natural wavy way.
We all got dressed and everything and went down to walk to harrods. It was early bennesba lena e7na s3oudeyeen. But Reema and Nawaf were used to it since they were living in London for a long time. We were walking and taking pictures spontaniously, laughing and doing wierd poses.
When we finally arrived we were waiting in a long que, which was weird since we thought we were early. Ezzebda, we got a table and we all ordered, I was hungry! So I ate like a pig. When we were done, Reema and Noura wanted to go shopping I didnt feel like it so I said no. Faisal said he was meeting up with a friend and asked Nawaf to come with him, but Nawaf said he didnt feel like it either.
I know this sounds weird coming from me, but I think its just an excuse to stay with me alone.

So when everyone was gone Nawaf and I decided to go to the movies. We bought tickets for The Lucky One. Well actually he Insisted on buying it. What a gentlemen. Ah, Dont you just love him?
Ezzebda, we bought one large popcorn and two cokes and went inside the theater and started watching. It was a really romantic movie. And I can easily be moved and cry. So I started tearing up, I didnt want Nawaf to see me so I lefted my foot up to my face and hid my face between my knees. Nawaf looked at me and laughed. I pushed him jokingly. The popcorn was so tempting I let my hand dive in the popcorn, Nawaf didnt notice I was taking popcorn and he just put his hand inside and touched my hand. I froze knowing what that feeling on my hand was. But Nawaf was confused he started holding my hand touching it trying to recognize what this weird obsticle in the popcorn was. He finally gave up and looked at the box and realized it was my hand we both looked at each other and instantly removed our hands not taking a single popcorn. Awkward! But I wanted it to last.

The movie ended. "How'd you like the movie." I asked trying to start a conversation. "Chick-flick" He answered jokingly. "Hey, you agreed." I laughed pushing him. "Hahaha" Laughed Nawaf. He has the cutest laugh. When he laughs or smiles, his cheeks reddens and coveres up his eyes leaving sparkles. His smile stops my heart to beat.
"Where would you like to go next?" He asked politley. "Lets take some Ben&Jerries ice cream and go to hyde park." I was craving Ben&Jerries since I was in Riyadh. "Sounds nice, yalla." 
Offcourse I got my cookie dough ice cream. MY FAVORITE!!! And Nawaf got his chocolate brownies fudge. Its his favorite. We took a cab and went to Hyde park.

We arrived. Nawaf got out of the cab so quick I thought he was running away, turns out he was oppening the door for me. He is the definition of a real man. I smiled and held his hand while he was trying to get me out of the car.
We entered the park. Talking. Thats when he brought up a topic that is not to be spoken of in real life. We only talk about it on bbm.
"L6eefa, do you really love me, or am I dreaming?" He asked. I blushed. "No, I really do." I blushed again. "And I'm not just saying that I mean that, I really am." What the hell did I say? How did I have the gutts to tell him that, it just flew out of my mouth. I realized that I just said it and blushed like crazy, my cheeks were litrally tomatoes. He looked at me and laughed. "Let's go rent bikes!" He suggested grabbing my hand and running towards the bikes. "Are you crazy?" I laughed.
He swiped his credit-card to get two reciepts that has two different passwords to get the bikes. (Only ra3een London yfhamoon) We got our bikes and started riding it doing circles around each other laughing. I wanted to go down a stair when My bike slipped on a small rock, I fell on my side on my knee and ripped my jeans and it was bleeding but not so much. Nawaf stopped and ran to me terrified. "A7!" I said. "WSH FEEK T3AWARTY!? TGDREEN TMSHEEN?" He asked, I can see his eyes terrified. "Mafeni shy, bs enjara7t." I laughed and put my hand on his shoulder. "Oh" He looked at the floor embaressed. "Thankyou!" I thanked him for his concern. I looked at him in the eyes. He got closer and thats when I felt his warm lips press on my cheek. It felt like someone squeezing my heart and letting it loose, and not being able to breath. My cheeks were even redder than tomatoes and then flushed out of colors. I litrally FROZE! He stood up extended his hand for me to stand. I was so in a shock that I didnt realize anything going on. I looked up took his hand and we both took our bike and put it back. That fall was the best thing that has ever happened to me. While we were on the way Faisal called Nawaf and told him to come meet them in a restoraunt.

When we arrived, all of them were their already. Faisal, Reema, and Noura. We sat down talking about our day, Nawaf and I did not say not a word. Noura and Reema went on and on about how I missed all the nice clothes that is what they say "to die for" *air quotes* Faisal, on the other hand, talked about the karting place he went with his friend and how we have to go to it. "Oo entum leesh sakteen? Wsh saweetu elyoum?" I looked at Nawaf, he looked at me. "We went to the movies" "We rented bikes" We bothe said it at the same time which sounded suspicious. Both Noura and Reema raised their eyebrows. Leaving Faisal, the air-head out of place not knowing whats going on.
We ate and were absolutley FULL!! 7mdella.

We went back home. I changed to my pyjama's and layed on my bed. Noura and Reema barged in and slammed the door open. "Yalla tell us EVERYTHINGGG!!!" They both looked too excited. I was too excited to tell them. I opened my both and blabbered about every single thing. "AWWWWWW!!!" They both sounded really interested and everything. "Ezzebda yalla Lets sleep I'm tired" I said.
We closed the lights and everyone slept. But I kept thinking about what a great day I had, when a ping on my phone interrupted me. It was Nawaf.

Nawaf: L6eefa, I love you too. I really do. 
 
That day I knew that Love DOES Exist.
I slept like a baby for the beautiful day I had, waiting for tomorrow's Alton Towers.

Chapter 9

Its thursday morning, 4:30 am, and our flight is at 8 so the house is completley a mess. Everyone screaming "yalla yalla" throwing clothes at eachother getting dressed, taking a shower, fighting over the bathroom. This is a complete mess.

Finally, were all done. Its about 6:30 so there's still time. We were sitting bel9ala watching tv, but we werent really paying attention, bs ga3din nsoulef. "Lazm nrou7 Thorpe Park." Faisal suggested. He immediatley looked at Reema after it. That is way wierd. I ignored. "La, we should go to Alton Towers al3abha a7la w akthar!" Nawaf interfeared. We all had a love struck look on our faces. "Why dont we go both wsh warana?" Noura suggested. "5ala9, we go both!" I announce! "Oh oh, hey, fe balda 93'eera I forgot its name half an hour by car, feeha indoor sky diving!" Reema said. We all were too excited. For the airport.k I wanted to wear something comfy, so I wore a huge hoodie-less sweater, leggings, and toms. Held my hair in a messy bun. My style is anything comfy. I only wear nice clothes on, occaisons. Which I'm not supposed to. Nawaf, Noura, and I went upstairs to get our stuff down so the driver would come get it. Reema and Faisal were downstairs. Nawaf looked over the stairs to Reema and Faisal which were downstairs. "Hey, l6eefa, Noura come quick shoofu!!" He whispered. What is he talking about? "What is it?" I looked down, there they were Reema and Faisal next to each other talking sweet talk. Reema blushes and pushes Faisal's shoulder. I didnt freak out or anything, I was kind of expecting it. It would be rude if I got angry with them, Maly 7ag what so ever. I mean I'm doing the same thing with Nawaf. Noura raised her eyebrows, "wsh 3ndhum??" We all looked at eachother and laughed, we agreed to act like nothing's happening. 

It was time for us to head to the airport, "Yalla, 5alla9too? Did your forget something?" Mama and 5alti mneera reasured. "No, nothing, yalla." We all replied. Rakabna elsayara, Faisal was in the front. Mama, 5alti Mneera and Nawaf were in the middle. Reema, Noura, and I were in the back. We started putting some music on, took pictures. "Az3ajtoona men 9aba7 rabby." 5alti mneera insisted on turning down the volume. "Ee walla muz3ejeen." Mama agreed. "Nebi nwasse3 9adrena." We all laughed and everything.

When we arrived, we passed all of the check points, and the passport stamps and everything. Finally we got into the plain. I gave my boarding-pass to the flight attendand. "Here you go." She showed me my seat and gave me my boarding. I was in the middle with Nawaf on my right and Noura on my left. Then there's Reema and Faisal next to each other near the window on our left, and our mothers in front of us. I turned on the TV and looked for movies, there was Just Go With It, I love the movie. *Play* I press. "What are you watching?" Nawaf asks. "Just Go With It." I replied. "No way, fee? Mnzamaan oo ana ab3'a ashoufa." He was happy. "Marra 7lou! This is the hundred time shefta!" I reply. So Nawaf and I started to laugh and talk and make jokes about how Noura b sabe3 nouma. And joked about what a "quincidence" it is that Reema and Faisal are next to eachother. We watched the movie together, laughed at it. We took a couple of pictures and stuff. I was beyond happy. He is the one. Noura is right I'm never going to find someone like him.

I was a bit tired. so I tried sleeping which I couldnt, because elez3aj elli ga3d y9eer. Nawaf slept for half an hour and I was still trying to sleep.
I felt a warm hand holding mine. It was Nawaf. He thought I was sleeping. I looked at him. He immediatley removed his hand and looked away. CUTE I thought! I wanted him to feel comfortable so I took his hand and nodded. Like it is fine and there's nothing to be afraid of. He smiled and removed his hand. CUTE I thought again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please prepair for landing. Thankyou for choosing brittish airways. We hope you had a pleasant flight." This made me even happier. I woke Noura up who was sleeping the whole time. I looked over at Reema and Faisal, kanu ga3deen ysoulfoon.

We took our bags and everything took a cab to our hotel wich was opposite Hyde Park and in Knights Bridge. When we entered our room all of us jumped on any flat surface we can find and slept.

Chapter 8

Nawaf: Ay bent? Mu ga3d afham mennik shy please eshra7ili?

(R) Latifa: Okay. tbeeni ashra7lek? Ashra7lek. You ignored your phone suspiciously bel sayara! Which you never do! And today belma63am kan fe bent 24/7 staring at you oo enta kelma t6ale3ha tlef wajhek, again suspiciously. Oo ga3d t5abbe shy. Meen he?

Nawaf: Ma3rf 3anha leesh ga3d t6ale3. Elphone 3shan I was driving.

(R) Latifa: Bala kethib ya Nawaf. Law sma7t ya Nawaf, 5allek 9aree7.

It took a while for him to respond

Nawaf: Weenik now?

(R) Latifa: Belbeet. Why?

Nawaf: Bukra agoollek kelshy. Namy al7een. You're tired. Goodnight beautiful. ;*

(R) Latifa: Good night.

I wasnt in the mood for inserting emotions or anything. He's right, I was pretty tired.

I woke up at 8:30, Wierd. Wsh ygwameny? I woke Reema and Noura up. "Wsh raykum nrou7 nef6er fe Ladurè?" I asked them. "Ee, jaw3ana ma t3asheet ams, 5an nef6er 3ala sana3" Reema said. "Ee ee mn jd" Noura agreed. "Barou7 agawem Nawaf." Reema suggested. "Kellena ngawma, with an awesome prank." Noura added. "Ee, entu rou7u gawmu ana bat7ammam." I didnt want to see Nawaf. "t3ali gawmee oo rou7y." then I agreed. We entered his room. Jabu s6el mouya oo Reema oo Noura were both holding it. Ana knt 3nd elbab bs knt bel3'urfa 3shan asket'hum. Ah, he looked so cute and peacefull sleeping, and they are going to ruing it. They poured kel elsa6el in his face, he chocked. I got scared a bit when I saw him chocking. But then he started chaising us. I didnt feel like it so I just ran to the toilet and I showered.

I got out. Got dressed with a yellow top and a high-waist black pants and a black and gold Torry Burch flat shoes. I got abit dressed cause we're planning a small gathering for Faisal because he's coming home today. 
Before we went, Nawaf suggested Reema and Noura go book us a table for 5 and Nawaf and I are going to get Faisal from the hospital. I knew it was an excuse for him to tell me what's going on. I wanted to know so I just went for it.
While we were in the car, Nawaf started talking. "Okay, here goes. I never want you to hate me, or think I'm a liar, or lose your trust in me. So here is the hole story, and why I tried hiding it." Here goes that hot brittish accent of his'. "When I first came back from London. Reema had this friend. She was at our house. I didnt like her. I thought she was a slut. Because well, everytime I enter the house she throws her self at me just starts talking to me tells me to sit next to her and gets ckoser every time, but I move. One day she asked for my pin. I said no. So she fought with Reema and told me that I was the love of her life and that she is mine and whatever. She was seriously sick! So she started sending me pin messages for a week. Then she stopped. She started doing it again after she saw you. And I hid it from you, because I thought you wouldnt understand. But I was wrong." He confessed. I felt relieved. "She's sick!" I was a bit shocked, eesh thee el majnoona! Retarded! I believed him.
"Yeah!! So from now on you will know everything that happens to me, I promise I'll tell you everything. Promise me you'll do the same?" I smiled. "I promise. And I'm sorry if I doubted you." he looked me in the eyes sympathetically. "I would never get mad at you, I'm the one who should be sorry."
 
We took Faisal and went to Ladurè. He cut the caje we brought him that said (7amdella 3ala elsalama, Faisal. <3)
and we took a picture. just the five of us. I went back home and hung it up on my mirror. These are my loved ones, these are the people I trust.

Days and weeks passed by, everything was perfect and great. Faisal removed his cast. Finals came and went by fast. I did great, even though I went through alot this year, but I got a 95%. For a 10th grader that is a miracle. Reema new about me and Nawaf. but she was just so happy for us.
There was something that 5alti Mneera and mama had planned for us that we did not know. They all called us to the 9ala, all five of us were so excited and eager! What is it??
So we were staring and smiling. "Yalla salwa, enty gouli." 5alti mneera thought mama would tell it better. "Your going to London. All 5 of you." Mama announced. "WHATTT???" We were stunned!! "7atta ana??" Noura asked since she thought she was just a firend. "Yes, we talked to your mother amd she said yes." they replied. "THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!" We all went kissing our mother's foreheads.
"Were dropping you off at London, and me and 5alatkum Salwa are going to Paris by train" They told us everything. How awesome is this? I looked at my cartier bracelet for no reason, remembering Nawaf then looking at him smiling. Our flight was on a Thursday morning. Which was two days away since they told us on wednesday.
We were all super excited we packed on wednesday, and all slept over at 5alti Mneera's house.
