Can we just be us? Part 3

Part 3

Abdulra7man: 7ayalla mn yana

Saif: hala, sh7alkm shabaab?

Abdulra7man: sharaftna ya 7amood (referring to hamad)

Hamad: shft 3ad ya wld el 3am

Abdulra7man: waink 3anna?

Hamad: wallah sho agoolk, mash'3ool (he said scratching his head)

Saif: mob shay ydeed

They just laughed

Hamad: sh7aal um el3yaal?

Abdulra7man: el 7emdillah, Aisha b5air (he said with a big smile)

Just as they were catching up a hot blond in a red dress walked by, some guys whistled and she giggled enjoying the attention

Saif: sho raykm?

Abdulra7man: I'm happily married

Hamad: not my type

Saif: blonds are never your type

Hamad just let saif's comment go but he knew what saif meant by it and it had nothing to with his type in women. The night was getting darker and it was time to leave

Abdulra7man: yallah shabaab ana bamshi

He said his goodbyes and left

Saif: 3an ethnik 7amood

He has been eyeing the blond ever since she walked over to sit with her friend. All he could do is think of what he could do to her all night long and maybe the morning after.

Saif: you want to take this somewhere else?

He didn't even have to try, he knows when a woman was hooked just by looking at her. As usual, he would take her for the night and have his way with her then dump her the morning after. What else would you expect from a womanizer.

Meanwhile her friend walked over to Hamad with a drink in her hand

Girl: I've been eyeing you this whole time

Hamad: like what you see? (he responded not even looking at her)

She stood up held his tie pulling him towards the exit

Girl: let's leave

In the car ride...

Hamad: what is your address?

Girl: you are in luck, my roommate is out for the evening (she said smirking)

She told him where she lived and in no time they reached their destination. She turned to Hamad while he just sat there with one hand on the wheel and the other on his side.

Girl: your not opening the door for me? Playing hard to get ha?

She opened the door and her heels hit the concrete floor closing the door behind her. She stood there waiting for Hamad to come down when he stepped on the gas pedal and drove away, leaving her standing at her door step alone.

The next morning Hamad woke up early morning and looked at the clock, it read 5:59 AM close enough. He turned off the alarm that has yet to ring and off to the gym he went. He parked his car when his mother called with a lecture in mind.

Hamad:  hala, hala bil '3alya (trying to ease her mood)

Mom: don't you start with me

Hamad: what's wrong? (he acted innocent)

Mom: did you see the news today

Hamad: magazines aren't news mother

Mom: it is when people read them

Hamad: lat3a9been. mastwa shay, radait'ha bait'ha o bs

Mom: no one would believe that, they made sure of it, that is why you are on the front page!

He walked over to the front desk of the gym and grabbed a copy of today's magazine. He held it in his hand and laughed.

Hamad: elmo9awer yabha 9a7

A photo of him was taken last night, with the girl holding onto his tie while he was following her.

Mother: this is not funny (she snapped)

Meanwhile...

Starting with her usual routine she walked over to the gym when she saw a guy laughing holding up a magazine

Guy: elmo9awer yabha 9a7

He threw the magazine back down and left. She peeked over at the magazine to find the front page. That was one of the many reasons of why she refused to date or get married for that matter.

After getting her workout done she headed back to the office when she received a message from hessa with an attachment.

'This is what you are missing out on (a photo of the guy she was telling her about last night)

Meera looked at the photo and thought to herself

Meera: he looks handsome

Message to hessa

Stop trying to set me up

With that photo aside she started to do some actual work. She was checking for emails to see any updates on the portfolio she put up. It was what she needed to do since this company was just rising and it needs all the help it can get. Trying not to think about it she got into reading some project proposals looking for the best one which was the most suitable for the company. The sharp noise of phone ringing interrupted her. Her secretary had patched in a call from Al x group showing interest in investing in her company.She accepted the call and set a meeting with them in a few days.

Al x group is a known family business that has been expanding for years. She was flattered that they showed interest in her company. She admired the man that has build his company from the bottom up. She heard stories of that same man from her own father. Her own father was a good friend of his.
