Part 31

Waking up early since she had a long day ahead of her. She had to work then to her mother's social event. Getting out her dress and shoes she was going to wear tonight ahead of time knowing she would not have much time later. Her mother has invited rich families and bachelors who were on the market for her only daughter. She has set up a meet up with them for her daughter, much to her daughter's dismay. Despite Hessa's constant argument with her mother, she had Hessa's best interest in mind. The invitations she sent came along with a plus one and Saif got the same invitation along with his family. Their feelings for each other laid there on the table since they confessed to each other few weeks ago, it was serious but Hessa did not know if it was serious enough to announce it to the world. He did not ask her to be her plus one and knowing  his parents made it even more awkward. She had met his mother a few times since she was good friend of her own mother but being introduced as his girlfriend was all new to her and him.

Hessa's point of view:

Why am I even thinking about his parents,  is he going to say something about me? Do I want him to say something?  Why do just keep looking so much into this.  Ever since I told him how I feel all I think about is what he is thinking. It is like my world revolves around him.

Hours later

Hamad got home early to find Sara at home with a sketchbook in her hands. She wanted to go into the fashion world and be one day a well known fashion designer. He remembered the days when he wanted to go and do his own thing when his father insisted in taking over the family company. Her decision was the cause of many arguments between her and Meera. Meera being her older sister wanted what was best for her and worried that her decision might not work out.

Hamad: that looks good

She looked up to him and said

Sara: I'm glad someone thinks so

He laughed knowing what she meant

Hamad: you know, when I was younger I did not want to run the family company

Sara: what changed?

Hamad: I got to do my own thing at first, I went to college studied hard despite my father's wishes but that only made me better at what I do today

Sara: but you still run the company

Hamad: yes but my own way, I did not want it to end with my father

She looked back down to her sketchbook

Hamad: I'm not saying listen to your sister, do what you want, work hard for it but you need to have a plan

Sara: I have one

Hamad: great let's hear it

He took a seat next to her ready to listen to her plans

Sara: I sent my portfolio to companies and designers for an internship and I heard back from a couple of them

Hamad: that is a good start

Sara: I just don't understand why Meera doesn't think so

Hamad: have you talked to her about your plans?

She was dumbfounded

Hamad: your sister wants to hear your plans, she wants you to be responsible, to know what you are getting yourself into, I assume you want to do your own thing at the end, be known on your own, open your fashion line and company

Sara: yes

Hamad: then why don't you take business courses

She seemed interested

Meera walked in with a dress in her hands freshly laundered along with hamad's suit.

Meera: what's going on here?

Putting her keys down Hamad approached her and got the laundry form her then walked to their bedroom leaving the ladies alone in the living room

Meera: did you have lunch?

Sara: yes

Meera glanced at sara's sketchbook it was clear that her sister had talent.

Sara: that social event thing is today?

Meera: it is

Sara: do you want me to do your makeup?

Sara was quite the makeup artist

Meera: if it is ok with you

They still haven't gotten things out of the way from the fight that they had

After getting her makeup and hair done Meera walked out of Sara's bedroom and into hers to get into her dress. Luckily Hamad was in the bathroom taking a shower, she wanted him to see her completely ready. She stripped to her panties and bra then got into her dress. Hamad on the other hand got out with his dress shirt still unbuttoned and his belt unbuckled.  He looked up to her to find her in a black backless fitting dress that made his mind go crazy.

Hamad: wow

She bit her lower lip not knowing how to respond to that

She grabbed his cuff lings off the table and walked to him. He extended his arm to her so she could do it for him. She grabbed it from the head and inserted it into the sleeves and did the same to the other. He saw how concentrated she was doing a small task, she looked up to him after she was done then placed her hands on the collar of his dress shirt. She buttoned the first one taking her sweet time, slowly going downwards till the last. He just watched her concentrate on what she was doing.

She took a step interrupting their moment.

Meera: there, all done

She walked away and towards her shoes to get ready so they can be out the door in no time
