"Alright, really though, we need to talk, please come sit down with me Jawa."
I sat down and looked at Abdullah. He looked like he had some really bad news, I was so scared.
"Is it your dad? Is he okay?"
"Yeah my dad is fine, don't worry about that...Umm..This is really hard to say..So uhhh..I'm just gonna say it fast...Khalid came here because he's getting married and his fiance is here visiting a friend right now so he came along."
I've never been so shocked in my life.
...I couldn't believe it. I just sat there for a moment trying to comprehend what he just told me.
"That's impossible. We've haven't even been broken up a year, and he's getting married?"
"Jawa, I know. It's crazy...Are you okay?"
"Ummm..yeah actually. I'm better than I thought I would be. I mean...I'm definitely in shock, and a little hurt. But..I'm okay."
Abdullah hugged me tightly and stayed over for a while.
I was surprised by my own reaction. Khalid was getting married...Wow. It was so weird to think. We had planned our lives together. I thought he would be the father of my children, the man who comes home to me each day. It definitely hurt to think that this would be happening with another girl, but at the same time it was almost a relief. There was finally no chance, no way, we'd ever have a chance again. And I think knowing that will help me get over that last little bit of him I haven't been able to let go of. I've been over him for a while now, but there's always been something in the back of my head reminding me of what happened between us. However, all of this in no way means I'm going to like the girl, his fiance, anymore than I do now, which is negative one million.
Me and Abdullah sat and watched t.v. and ate junk food and talked, I was so lucky to have a friend like him. We made sure not to watch any cute chick flicks, and since my favorite movies are boyish anyways, we watched Bad Boys 2 and the Godfather. I fell asleep on the couch trying to comprehend all the events of the day.
...The next morning I woke up with a blanket over me and Nawar and Rania were still asleep. I got up, took a shower, and made some coffee. Today was another day and I couldn't let yesterday ruin it for me. There was no need.
"Good morning beautiful" said a sleepy voice.
"9aba7 el 5air. I'm surprised you're up" ..as I said before, Nawar is never up!
"Haha I thought today deserved an early morning. How are you feeling? I can't believe it."
"I know. It's really strange. But I'm okay. Don't worry.."
"Alright babe, let me know if you need anything" she said as she came over and hugged me and stole my coffee.
"Hey that was mine!"
"I know but I hate making it and you're just so good at it" she tried to put a puppy face on but it was too ugly, I burst out laughing. "Oh by the way, your phone wouldn't stop vibrating last night. I was gonna throw it out the window"
"Omg my phone, I haven't checked it since yesterday afternoon. Crap."
I went and looked around my room and found it. 8 Missed calls and 14 messages and a few bbms. Wow.
3 of the missed calls were from Fawaz. 4 from a number I didn't know and 1 from Abdullah.
I checked my messages and Fawaz had sent me 4.
*Incoming text* Jawaaaa
*Incoming text* Can you answer your phone, I just wanna make sure everything's okay
*Incoming text* I'm really sorry about what I said yesterday, please don't be mad
*Incoming text* Morning :) , are you feeling any better? any less mad at me?
I feel so bad, he thinks I'm mad at him and I'm ignoring him! I don't really feel like talking on the phone, I'll just message him back.
*Outgoing text* Hey, I'm really sorry I'm not mad or ignoring you. Yesterday was just really stressful so I put my phone away and left it there. Thank you for taking me home. You were so nice about everything. How are you today?
Now, to check the rest of my messages..There were 7 from the same number that called.
*Incoming text* Jawa, it's Khalid. Can we please talk?
*Incoming text* Please, just answer your phone
*Incoming text* This is ridiculous. Answer your phone now
*Incoming text* Sorry...
*Incoming text* It's really important, please.
*Incoming text* Jawa...I'm getting married. I wanted to be the first one to tell you. It's really recent and our families planned it. I can call it off at any time. If you tell me you still love me I'll leave her right now and we can get married. I still want you. You're the only one I'll ever want. I know I messed up but please, we have plans...what about Lama and Yousif and Layan and our vacations to Spain and Italy? Our house that you're going to decorate? We can still have all of that.
*Incoming text* Give me a chance to prove to you I can be the man you need. Just say the word and I'll be there...
I put my phone down, took a deep breath and typed the one message that would end this for good. Everything we had planned together would be just a distant memory. Our kids and our vacations and our house, everything would just seem like a silly idea from two kids who once thought they knew what love was.
*Outgoing text* The word is no. No, never again. Your fiance deserves someone who's going to love her and be true to her, do that for her. We're done talking, for good. No, Khalid.
The other 3 were from Nawar and Rania.
*Incoming text* Hey babe, we're SOOO sorry we had to go but we need this credit for class. Are you okay? We're coming home as soon as we can. I can't believe that freak! Rania says she's gonna punch him.
*Incoming text* Okay it's almost over. This is taking forever. How much can there possibly be to say about people jumping the boarder.
*Incoming text* Abdullah told me you fell asleep. If you wake up before we're home call me! Tell me if you want me to bring anything. Love you!
They were so sweet.
We decided Rania had been sleeping enough so we decided to go jump on her bed and wake her up. She was nooot very happy about this but we finally got her up and out of bed. I made the girls get changed and decided we were going to breakfast and look extremely cute and happy.
"....Annnnnd, the pancakes too! Thank you! Oh wait, and 3 lattes..large!"
"You've only left one thing off the menu, are you sure I can't just get you that too?"
"Marcus, my exboyfriend is getting married, if I want to eat the whole menu three times I will."
"Ouchhh. Okay in that case I'll put some ice cream with those pancakes, girl."
Marcus was our favorite waiter. He was 24 and gay and the cutest thing ever. We came to this restaurant all the time and he had became a little part of our girl group. However we wouldn't be just girls today. We decided that after breakfast we'd meet up with Abdullah, Aziz and Fawaz and take my mind off of everything.
Breakfast was delicious and we sat for so long and talked and had a great time. We made Marcus sit down with us for a bit and gossip.
"So he just randomly showed up!? O-m-g. I'd just die!"
"I know right! I almost did, I tripped and landed flat on my face."
"Well he's one stupid guy for loosing you! And now he still wants you back? Tell this freako to get a life. I know one person I will be refusing to serve if I ever see him. Or better yet, I'll spill hot coffee on him" Marcus said with a wink. He always made us laugh.
Breakfast finally came to an end and it was time to go meet up with the guys. Aziz came to the restaurant for a little while before we left though, he thought Marcus was so funny and loved to come by and give him a hard time. Nawar rode with him and me and Rania went in her car. We had to stop by the restaurant from yesterday and pick up mine before we met the guys.
When I got to my car I saw Fawaz's car parked next to mine. What's he doing here? Rania dropped me off and I walked over to where our cars were and saw him standing against mine smoking.
"Hey.."
"Hello there"
"You look..really beautiful"
"Thank you..You too! Well I mean not beautiful, handsome..you know" he always made me blush. I'm so happy he can still give me butterflies even after all of this Khalid crap.
"Hahah I know what you mean. So, are you anti phones now? Or just anti me?"
"Neither...definitely not anti you. I just couldn't deal with talking to anyone yesterday. I fell asleep."
"I understand. Are you feeling better today?"
"I am thank you."
"Good, it really killed to see you hurt like that yesterday."
"I'm sorry.."
"Don't be" Ommgggg his smile is so gorgeous! He's making me forget all about my crazy exboyfriend.
"So why are you here again?"
"I wanted to be able to talk to you alone. I can't have you to myself for a little while?"
"Looks like you got what you wanted" I'm sure my face is like a thousand shades of red right now.
"Guess so. Did I tell you that you look really nice?"
"Hehe, you did."
"Oh..right, well you do. Twice isn't enough to tell you."
"You, my friend, are a little lame."
"And you, my friend, are making me try toooo hard."
"Oh well" I said grinning. Let him try even harder, he's so cute when he does. "I think we should get going, they're probably wondering where we are."
"Yeah, let's go" he said as he opened my door for me. He stayed there not closing the door for a minute after I got in, we just stared at each other. His eyes are so mesmerizing. The door shut and he walked to his car after a moment and we were on our way. It looked like my day wasn't totally ruined after all.
"Alright, really though, we need to talk, please come sit down with me Jawa."
I sat down and looked at Abdullah. He looked like he had some really bad news, I was so scared.
"Is it your dad? Is he okay?"
"Yeah my dad is fine, don't worry about that...Umm..This is really hard to say..So uhhh..I'm just gonna say it fast...Khalid came here because he's getting married and his fiance is here visiting a friend right now so he came along."
