Juju’s perspective – Diary Form (Still Friday May 13th)
He heard everything…
I couldn’t breathe. I looked up at Sara
“Saraaa ! FUCKKKK…. SARA ! sima3 kil shayyyy !”
“Jooj, chill.. it’s not the end of the world… and plus, you got what you wanted right? You said you wanted to break up with him and now there’s no way you guys are gonna stay together… so yeah, there’s the silver lining”
We had a huge discussion which resulted in me PMSing on Sara’s ass, then stomping off to the balcony to have some alone time, because god knows I need it. I sat there on the balcony, listening to the distant car horns and watching the traffic slowly move. I picked up the phone because I just had to say something to him… I typed up my first message…
‘5alood, I’m sorry’ … I quickly delete that message cause it was too, madree.. it just wasn’t right. I went through about six different messages before I sent him ‘Babe, wallah I’m so sorry… Bas you know what happened with 7amad before...’. That was the perfect message to send.
I sat there, on the balcony listening to music and waiting for a reply from him. Anything would be good, even a break up… I can’t stand him not replying to me, the silence is unbearable. After about twenty long and extremely slow minutes, I heard shouting from the guys next door. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, but after they were done one of the guys came out and walked right up to the balcony ledge and leaned on it. He took out his iPod and a cigarette, and started to smoke…
He didn’t realize that I was there,
Again, why the HELL do we share a balcony?
Whatever, anyway … I had no idea what to do, he was leaning against the railing, his biceps emphasized, his skin was tan and his polo shirt just made him look all the more like the perfect beach god, black thick hair- medium length thank God… not the long style so many guys attempt to wear. He had dirty stubble along his manly jaw and was tall, his broad shoulders are followed by a body that has obviously been to the gym a lot.
Just then, my phone started to ring and my brother was calling me. The guy turned back, obviously taken aback by my presence and I silenced my phone and whispered “sorry”.
Oh my god, it was so embarrassing! I stood up to leave but then he said
"Shda3waa stay", and he turned back, heading inside. I have to admit, I didn’t want him to go! His presence was actually kinda comforting
“No it’s fine, I’ll go… its kind of obvious that you’re mad at something and that you need to be alone or whatever, so I’ll go”
He smiled. OhMyGod… his smile, it was one of those that starts in the corner on one side and spreads, his lips were full and well shaped. Then, when his smile was complete… the dimple on his right cheek began to show… my heart melted, its like his smile reached out and dazzled me, held me prisoner… like a tiger hypnotizes its prey… and I was one happy prey
Then he said, “Since we’re both insisting that the other stays, how about we both just stay?”
I secretly thanked god that he said that and I sat down where I was before, he walked over to me and asked what I was listening to
“Bala 7ub” I said it without looking at him, it was so awkward
“What a coincidence” And he showed me what he was listening to
It was Bala 7ub too… ok, more awkwardness…
He sat down on the chair in front of me and said “I’m Fahad by the way, and you are?”
“Oh, hey… I’m Johara”
The situation could not get any more awkward… il awkwardness w9al 7adda. Luckily I was saved by Sara shouting from inside the room,
“JUJU YALLA BNI6LA3 NAKIL SHAY… IM SO HUNGRY, OK?!”
“Taboon ityoon ma3ana? Al7een binroo7 Nobu”
“Umm, no thanks … ma7ib Japanese food, plus sushi grosses me out”
“Now that you said that about sushi I insist that you come and try it, yimkin inti mat3arfeen shlon ti6lbeen il sushi”
“I’ve never tried sushi, shakla mb 7ilo”
“la la laaa, lazemm you try it…”
He was so adorable with his pleading eyes, I couldn’t say no to him!
