Drama Post # 6

Yousif was still MIA. Missing in action that is.

Naylah and Sarah wasted no time in the weekend. They were determined to make it a great weekend, since they were both feeling a little down. On Thursday, they went to a watch a new movie at Saar Cinema, which, for the first time, strangely overcrowded.
They was a bunch of cute, older-looking guys. Really cute guys. Who kept staring at both of the girls, who were too busy to notice. Little did they know that these men will have a large impact on their lives later.
They spent the entire Friday tanning in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Spa. They exercised for a bit in the mixed gym, ran on the sand near the beach for a bit (all the stars do it:) and finally relaxed on the tanning beds.

They both turned a little too dark..but their tan lines were great...Their cheeks were red and flushed and the tiniest bit burnt.
That's the Bahraini sun for you..makes you black and not golden :)

Saturday:0800 pm

Naylah hated Saturday's. They reminded her of starting another long, tiring week at university. But this time, she was excited. She knew that Yousif would be back from his short trip, since he cant afford to miss any more classes. She couldn't wait to "stalk" him or at least catch him online.
This is why she was on MSN from the moment she opened up her eyes. At 08:00 am.
But, of course, she was appear offline. She didn't want to seem "too available" if yousif did come online.
She would check her msn quite regularly. To her disappointment, he wasn't on.
Boo HOo...
She checked her university email, wanting to reread the email that started this all.
To her suprise, she found an email from him!!!
She could barely contain her excitment as her eyes flew from word to word..

Naylah,

Sorry I havent been on MSN for quite a while. I came back from UAE and I dont have internet at home. Do you think maybe you can text me? Its going to be hard for me to come online these days.
This is my number. I really really want to talk to you. 3942xxxx

El walhan..

Naylah decided that she was going to send a text. right then and there. She couldnt wait any more. She felt suffocated when she thought he was MIA. She didnt want to go through that again. It was time for their "so-called relationship" to take another level.
The timing was right, she reassured herself, as she wrote the text message.

Naylah @ 9:20: thanks for the offer.bas ill walk..il jaw wayed 7lo;) see you in half an hour?
Yousif @ 9:21: Cant wait..text when you reach..;)

Naylah had to jump up and down for a bit! She couldnt believe it! It was finally happening. A scene she played in her head so many times that she thinks she mentally forced it to happen!! She quickly jumped in the shower and decided to take a quick body shower. Her hair was fine, she did it this morning. It was nice and straight. She would just have to go over it with GHD to make it look shinier and straighter.

After her quick shower, came the most important question. For the first time ever, Naylah knew exactly what to wear. She was going to wear her new Banana Republic skirt. It was white, high waisted and very flattering to her already skinny frame. It gave her the ass she never had.
With it , she wore a bright red V-neck top, a casual top, since the skirt was already kind of over the top.

She made sure that the top exposed her tanning lines, the ones she worked so hard on!
As for make-up, Naylah always followed the principle of less is more. She applied Bobby Brown's tinted moisturizer, and Victoria Secret bronzer, which made her look even more tanned. As for her pretty hazel eyes, She lined them with dark eyeliner, and a heavy coat of mascara. She wished she had time to put her false eyelashes, but she wasnt bothered, it took her time to wear them, and time was of the essense now.
After her make-up was done, and she wore her clothes. She took a final look in the mirror. She was more than satisfied with what she was wearing. She knew she looked good.
After spraying her favorite perfume, hypnotic poison by Chrisitan Dior, she admired herself in the mirror one last time and decided that it was time to head out.

09:45

Naylah left the dorms, and sent a quick text to Sarah, who out out on a date with Salem.


Naylah: Layfootach shino 9ar! 911 min galb
Sarah: Bashray!
Naylah: Going to see Yousef in a bit fee starbx! Can you effin believe it!
Sarah: Whoaaa! Ive been gone 2 hours oo kil thee 9ar! Hello! How When Why How!!! EXPlain!! E.S pls! (ES stood for executive summary)
Naylah: No time love..im already close..miss call me when youre back in the dorms bayeech. brb..oh and dont forget the code..XXX

The code was whenever any of the gang (there's more to the gang-you will meet new characters soon) was out on a first/second date, all the girls would call the girl on the date several times, and send her text messages so the guy would get jealous.
Stupid plan but it works!

09:50

Naylah was punctual. She hated being late for anything, but decided this time she will go at least five-ten minutes late. She went in from the back door, hoping she wont see him.
"Gowa Naylah".

His manly voice startled her and she jumped.

" Hey!! 5ara3teenay"

He looked at her tenderly and said. "Ma 3ash ily e5arech".

With that she felt like she was on air, and was blushing furiously. She excused herself and mumbled that she would be in the ladies room.
In the ladies room, Naylah took a deep breath and said to herself. You can do it, you've talked to him a million times before.
She regained her composure, reapplied to her favorite Dior clear lipgloss and headed out. She was determined to be her confident, bubbly self.

She noticed that Yousif was sitting in the tables that were the further from the door. Good choice, she thought silently. She didnt want to see anyone tonight. She wanted to be focused on him, the love of her life.


TBC.. Wait for the next post!

Drama Post # 2

Sleepless in Bahrain: Are you seeing anyone?
Naylah: I think this is a private matter..you wont even tell me your name and you want me to tell you such intimate details about my life??
Naylah: I cant believe you...
Sleepless in Bahrain: la laa latfahmeeenay '3ala6...u see im in an awkward position here..if i tell u my name,,then u tell me la sorry baba im dating someone,then im gonna see you for the next year in university, o bakoon mayet min il fasheela..if the tables were turned, you would prefer to stay anonymous too unless you were certain that you had a chance with this special someone.
Naylah: Ok..good point..I understand where you're coming from. I don't mind sharing this information with you, a9lan i already have it posted on my fb..I'm single.
Sleepless in Bahrain: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Naylah: ahhaah so im guessing ure happy hehee....
Sleepless in Bahrain: you dont understand how happy I am to hear that. I was so certain that you were seeing someone. How can someone so pretty, so smart, so caring and honest like you still be single? Its not possible..I wish I can tell you everything I that i feel about you.but i really don't want to scare you..aahh...lo et3arfeeen gadrech 3inday walah..
Naylah: Thank you...matga9er..hay min 6eebik wmin 6eeb a9lik..
Sleepless in Bahrain: I have to leave now.I have an exam tomorrow and I still didnt study for it.

Naylah's heart skipped a beat..More than a beat actually..a couple..her thoughts were racing, and she felt she was going to explode..."Saroo...!!!! You know who has an exam tomorrow!!!!! fee amal its him!!!!!"...

Sarah: Ee 9ij tara bacher rab3na in History of Science and Technology 3indhum exam...and they're like 10 girls in that class and three guys!!!! Il 7ob oo these two freaky Nigerian dudes!!!!! no wayy uhma tara!! the nigerians wont talk nafsna!!UMABIIHH AKEED UHWAAAAAA NAYLOOOO TELL HIM SUMTHING!!""

Naylah found it hard to contain her excitement. Is this true, she wondered..Could it really be him? She felt a huge smile creep to her lips..She was sure now...She could feel it in her bones...It was him...She usually always trusted her gut feelings..She knew she had to give in to it this timme and realize that something good..something real..was actually happening to her...After all the drama that happened in her life with her stupid ex boyfriend...She needed to be happy. She needed a reason to keep moving,and a reason to keep living...After all the heartache she suffered, she swore that she would never gamble with the most precious thing she had, her love.
She quickly shut her thoughts..and turned her attention to the laptop and went back to the conversation..

Sleepless in Bahrain: Naylah..entay wain? I dont want to close the convo box without hearing from you..
Naylah: la 3adi yousif..roo7 edris..Professor Flan's tests are hard..you should hit the books ....
Sleepless in Bahrain: (Shocked smiley) How did you know!!!!! Laykoon sa7ra!!
Naylah: La ana Bahrainiya mo Omaniya...ahahhaah..

Naylah: I'm smart i guess..
Sleepless in Bahrain: Of course you are...I see your name on the Dean's List every semester..
Naylah: OK..how about you go study and we'll continue this chat tomorrow?
Sleepless in Bahrain: I don't want to leave you. I have so many things I need to tell you.
Naylah: I'm not going anywhere:)
Sleepless in Bahrain: Ok..can you come online at like 7? I'll be online from 5 onwards...I know you usually are in starbux till 620 anyways..so 7 will be the perfect time..
Naylah: Sounds great.See you then.Ciao and good luck.
Sleepless in Bahrain: Can't wait..Good night..again..I'm sorry for doing this ...this way i mean...see you tomorrow:)
Naylah: Bye
Sleepless in Bahrain: Byeee:)

Naylah and Sarah jumped from underneath the covers, unable to contain their excitement..They started running around the room, yelling and screaming. It was as if their favorite team just won the world cup. They were overjoyed...It has been three years of obsessive analyzation and many stalking days, and many conversations about how to "get" the guy.il 7ob.the guy she fell in love with the moment she saw him.Today was a victory. A victory for all the girls who were too scared to do the first move on a guy they worshiped. It was finally her time to shine.
A time for their love, which she one thought, was one sided to grow and mature..

Ring Ring.....Their excitement was rudely interrupted by the sound of the annoying dorm room phone...Sarah huffed and puffed as she made her way through her messy room, with the mountains of clothes on the floor,bed,on top of the fridge, on the desk..basically...clothes were everywhere...
"Aloo"
Supervisor: Sara!!! ay dah ya bint!!! bet3ay6oo laih!!!
Sarah: laaaa 5alti wala 9ar shay wayed ewanis!! sorry i7eeen nasket oo in9ik il bab...
Supervisor: Bo9i ba2a..7amasheeha hal mara bas!!! Ti9ba7ooo 3ala alf 5airrr!
Sarah: Inshallah!! ma3a alf salmaa!! (in a weird Egyptian accent)

Naylah was cracking up...It was always sarah that got the blame...The girls always gathered around her room. It was the hangout..It was the messiest, most loudest room in the entire dorm.

Sarah and Naylah started discussing wardrobe options as she was going to "accidentally" be in the same building where Yousif's exam was going to be held..
Beep Beep..

Naylah got up and read the text message she got on her cell.She couldn't believe it. Her face suddenly became pale..no no..it cant be she thought to herself..

" I miss you"

TBC!!!
