He was standing resting his back on one of Leeds University walls..
He was punching on his phone screen covering his head with his hood.. the look that I can’t resist!!

She closed the line to notice a message from Watha7..
Watha7:
“Sorry etha makent gad eltheqa! Latloumeen galbee thai!”
She ignored his message and rushed to her apartment..

They started kissing each other..
Hessa: kahu el taxi we9al yalla thai

They went down stairs, the taxi took the luggage inside his car..
Dhai was trying to roll her eyes away from her mom’s to avoid them from tearing..
Hessa smiled: ha ensalem wela benteshawaf eb landan?
Dhai ignored her mom sentence and threw herself on her mom’s chest..
Hessa hugged her daughter: 7abebtyyy bentyy

He ran his hand on her hair: latkhafeen
She smiled: mu khayfa!
...
At the restaurant..
She sat down one of the chairs..
Ahmad sat next to her..
They ordered their food..
She was playing with her fork..
She wasn’t feel like eating..
He tried to say something but she was ignoring his words..
Ahmad: ma3jebech el akel chenna
She started eating..
Ahmad smiled: bel3afya
Dhai: e3afek
She pulled her chair and stood up..
Mama taiba: ha wain 3ala allah
Dhai: 7ammam
She went to the bathroom, unlocked her phone, typed his name and sent him:
Dhai:
“MAQMOUTAAA”
Watha7:
“Esmellaaa esmella esmellah!!!”
Dhai:
“Ba6la3 min hdoumy mu gadra!!!”
Watha7:
“Wainech? Mu belma63am ma3a ahalech?”
Dhai:
“Eeh!”
Watha7:
“A7mad qamtech?”
Dhai’s heart skipped a beat..
