"Huhh. Oh sorry. What were you saying?"
"I always wondering if you had a mental problem. I'm starting to think I was right."
"Very funny 7amood. I was distracted, I zoned out."
"Hmmm...okay. Whatever. Anyways, I think I'm gonna get this."
"Whatever, you do NOT need it."
"Buuut I need the girl at the counter's number."
"At least buy something else. I don't think you realize but you walked in here wearing a leather jacket already. She's just gonna think youre a freak."
"Uhhh, oh right. Yeah. I'll get something else" 7amood said realizing he was holding his leather jacket in his hand already.
As he looked around I was mesmerized by the guy who had walked in. He was obviously Arab. He looked SO familiar. From where though? He looked at me and didn't look back.
I'm not gonna lie, I can usually get guys to at least take a second look. So that was pretty frustrating.
He walked straight to the counter. He was on the phone and seemed very into the conversation he was having.
"A7ebich. La2 la2 Ana Akthar" ...Oh, he has a girlfriend. "Okay, bye Yuma. I'll call you tomorrow I promise."
Oh wait, no he does not! ...Why do I even care? I've never met him and probably never will.
He quickly turned with the bag he picked up from the counter in hand and left the store. Just as quickly as he had came in.
I stood around waiting as 7amood flirted with the sales lady and decided to call Abdullah and see where he was. Perfect timing! He was close by. I could not wait to see him! And to know he's here to stay. I'm so happy!
"7AMOOD YALLA!" I was so bored, it's literally been 20 minutes and he's STILL talking to her.
When I finally dragged him out of the store we were on our way to go meet Abdullah.
"WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME!" I shouted as I ran to him.
We met him for lunch and I couldn't help but tear up when he hugged me. I missed him so much. We haven't lived in the same place for 2 years! He was finally back with me. We went to high school together but then we went different places for college.
Lunch went well. The three of us sat around laughing and talking for a couple of hours. I stuffed my face as usual. I managed to eat more than both of them, they sat there in shock watching me eat.
"What, a girl can't eat?"
They both laughed..."A girl can eat, but you're eating like a baby dinosaur."
"Shut up Abdullah" and I punched his arm.
"Okay children. *7amood think's he's funny..key word: thinks* I'm going to meet a special someone who works in Nordstrom who is dying to see me and my beautiful smile. So I will meet you with 5alti Mona later. Tata for now"
"Wow, he works fast" said Abdullah. "Ouff, not fast enough. I waited almost half an hour for him to get her number! She's obviously not thaaat excited to see him"
Wait...could that be shop boy again? No way! Did I really see him again?
I was looking all around me and didn't realize Abdullah watching me with a confused look on his face.
"7abeebty are you okay? You look like you just saw Johnny Depp. You've lived here long enough, shouldn't you be used to that by now?"
"Haha uhh yeah" I said as I tried to get one last look.
He was gone.
