Can we just be us? Part 36

Part 36

Heading back home Saeed was having lunch and catching up with everything then going back to their mother's house

Saeed: you live here now? (Referring to Sara) what lie did you tell to make Meera agree

Meera: hey, I asked her to move in

After getting settled in

Hamad: how was everything there?

Saeed: El7emdillah,  it was good

Sara: oh please you probably flirted with every woman there

He laughed

Meera: you lost more weight every time I see you

Saeed: there was a gym close to my apartment

Saeed was a chubby teenager that everyone made fun of. Now he was a young man with a good built that ladies go crazy for.

Sara: where are you going to stay?

Addressing the elephant in the room, Meera wasn't the only one that has issues with heir mother, Saeed had it hard as much as Meera. Choosing to study abroad and not visit for the whole four years was to get away from all that.

Meera glared at her sister

Saeed: where else, I'm going to stay in my old room

Hamad: you are always welcome here

Saeed: I know, but I can't leave mother alone

He was feeling guilty for leaving on bad terms with her

Meera: ok, wash up, relax then we are heading there

...

Heading out the door Meera was nervous, she was nervous because all of her siblings are going to be in one house under their mother's roof. They haven't done that in a long time.

While driving Hamad could see the nervousness in Meera's face, she was always terrible at hiding her emotions. He could see her hands intertwined together trying to keep her nerves down. He extended his hand and gave hers a squeeze.

Hamad: you'll be fine (he whispered to her)

She smiled to him, he always knew what to say to her.

Arriving at their destination they all got out to the car and walked to the front door then let themselves in. Both Ahmed and Abdalla almost jumped at the sight of their brother. They were once close

Ahmed: welcome back

Hugging his younger brother that he hasn't seen in four years

Abdalla: mabe'3ait etrid

They laughed, when all three stood together anyone could tell they were brother, specially the older two (ahmed and saeed).

Their oldest sister Alya and her husband and kids were there as well, each welcoming back Saeed. Finally it was their mother's turn

Saeed: Hi mom

Mom: welcome home sweetie

She hugged her son tightly not letting go, she missed him and not seeing your own son for four years was too much

Meera saw her mother's eyes tear up as she wiped them away immediately. 

They all sat down and had their long needed family time. Hamad watched them enjoying their time, talking, laughing and joking around. He was glad for Meera and wished that it would be like this all the time.

Later that night

Both Sara and Saeed were staying with their mother so Meera and Hamad decided to go back home.

Hamad: it's good everyone was there

Meera: yes it was

She started out the Window which he noticed she did a lot when he drove

Meera: I guess it's going to be just you and I

What she said made Hamad nervous, he forgot how it was like to be all alone with just her.

They reached home and parked on their regular spot.

Doing their usual bedtime routine Hamad got into bed first while she followed with a sleeveless silky night gown that drove him insane on the inside.

Hamad: 'did she have to wear that'

Meera's point of view:

It seems to be working, I don't know is it working?  Do I want it to work? Omg what am I saying. But I do. Is he looking? Is he nervous? Should I walk around longer till he notices.

She walked around the room around bit more till she decided to get in the bed and under the blanket. Hamad was still trying not to make his eyes and mind wonder. It was hard, he had his hand on his chest feeling his heart beat.

Meera: it’s a little cold

He did not respond

Meera: I'll turn up the ac a little

That was when he got closer and hugged her to share his body warmth with her

Hamad: there is no need

Still hugging her, while his chin was on her shoulder facing the other way.

Meanwhile Meera had her face buried in his chest. His smell invaded her nostrils and it turned her on. What really got her is that she could feel him, smell and feel his body heat radiate towards her but what she really wanted to do is touch him, really touch him.
