Can we just be us? Part 43

Part 43

Waking up in the morning, he felt her on the bed taking most of the space while he was left with her arm on his chest. Like every time he held her hand and moved it to her side then getting out of bed and dragging his feet to the bathroom. Grabbing the open toothpaste clearly the signs of Hessa's doing, he spurted some on his toothbrush and began to brush his teeth. Doing so he wondered how he came a long way from sleeping around to falling in love with someone he wouldn't normally date. Living alone, staying a bachelor and enjoying it a lot, he never thought that he might change. And now a woman that entered his life changed everything.

Looking at himself in the mirror he noticed her bra hanging in the background. She had some of her stuff in his house and it felt like she moved in when they haven't even spoken about it. They have been spending most of their time together and she was everywhere he looked. It slowly scared him, how much time he spent with her without noticing it. He can't even remember the last time he had some time alone.

In the car ride home

After meeting up with the guy she liked and tried hard to get along with his friends she came back disappointed. And in top of that she had a hard time with her internship, coming up with a specific idea for a design.

Meera sensed her younger sister's stress, she clearly did not want to speak about what happened with the guys so she started to rant about her mental block

Sarah: it's frustrating really, thinking of a design that is out of my zone, then think about the budget and what not (she said babbling on)

Meera: take a deep breath, an idea would eventually come to you, just don't force it

Hamad: start with a clear mind, your young you haven't seen much, open your eyes pay attention to details look at your surroundings. You will get inspired from anything you see.

Sarah: yeah , but I still have to specify the costs and what not

Hamad: forget about the budget and the costs, after coming up with a brilliant design then cut down on costs and budgets.

Sarah took his words in heart, he was right and the way he talked inspired her. 

Meera on the other hand remained seated listening to him speak. She knew he was a clever man. A man that knows the world, a man that has a vision. And watching him speak like just made her respect him as a man. He wasn't tied to his major and just business, he understood the world and saw everything in a different perspective, it is was made him the man he is today.

The car ride was surprisingly pleasant, Sarah was opening up speaking about her courses and internship which made Meera happy. Her sister was never this interested in anything before but now everything changed and a big part of it was because of Hamad.

Saif needed a night out by himself, to have space to think for himself. After roaming around for about an hour he reached out to his phone and started to dial abdulra7man's number

Dialing abdulra7man...

After arriving home, Sarah walked directly to her room sketching some ideas while Hamad carried the younger boy 3baid out of the car and Meera took care of the Rashid and his younger sister, Noora .

Hamad: I'm glad we did this

He said still in the guest room getting the kids to settle in and get ready for bed. They were sleeping over for the night and Meera's older sister Alya was picking them up the next day.

They both walked to their bedroom after this long day to rest

Hamad enjoyed the day and felt happy for once in a long time. He was experiencing new things he hasn't before. Things he didn't see himself doing.

Meera: thank you for doing this

She said letting her hair down and removing her heels

Hamad: I'm glad the kids enjoyed it

She looked prettier with her hair down, and he couldn't help but stare.

Meera: they did, and for Sara, being very patient with all this, advising her, she listens to you

She sat down and he followed her by sitting next to her

Hamad: I've been through that, I was her as a teenager still think I'm like that, stubborn as hell

Meera: you changed her mind about her future or at least made her think about her future and act on it. I really don't know what I would have done

Hamad: She is a good kid

Meera: Yes she is

They were seating on the edge of the bed real close to each other. Sitting in a moment of silence her eyes automatically landed on his soft lips. That moment they shared was a first to connect, really connect. All of the feelings they have been having these past moths resurfaced and if anyone walked in to the room could see it clearly. He got closer and so did she, closing their eyes till their lips touched. A simple peck on the lips. He pulled away opening his eyes looking at her with her eyes still shut. A second later she opened her eyes blinking making him say

Hamad: god, your beautiful

She smiled leaning back in kissing him heavier this time. It was intense, their feelings flying everywhere. He parted his lips and so did she. Sucking on her lower lip taking his sweet time then going for the upper lip. He just wanted to taste her. They have both been thinking of it for a long time, a very long time.
