Rasha

Being in the restaurant and eating with Mr.Bashar and his friends made me feel so happy, to be honest, I couldn't be any happier. They made me laugh so freaking much as I did the same to them, we playfully argued about dumb stuff and mocked each other. We were being so loud that everyone's eyes were on us, I mean we were eating in a classy restaurant where we should behave like rich people. But we made it worse by acting like monkeys. The best thing about all of this was that I felt Mr.Bashar eyes on me the whole time, not once could he tear his eyes apart from me. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not meaning to brag but it's never wrong to earn some attention from someone you love.

Not only did he give me all his attention, but this man also didn't even let me buy for my plate. Not because I had the money to because this restaurant is so expensive. 50 dollars for a freaking salad plate?! Hell no I could not afford that, but still. He told me to choose whatever I liked. Even though this isn't the first time, last time when we ate kebab together he paid for everything. But still, he such a gentleman. And he's my gentlemen. Hihi...

''I'm full!'' Jaffar looked down on his stomach and drummed on it. I smiled before I saw everybody nod, ''Same, it was so good, Alhamdulillah.'' Nadia said looking down on her phone. I looked at Mr.Bashar who cleared his throat, ''Then should we ask for the bill and leave?''

Everyone agreed and we stood up from our seats. The guys told Nadia and me to wait for them outside, and we did. As we stood outside Nadia and I talked about random stuff, then she passes me a small box. I look down on the box, then I looked up at her with confusion. ''It's my gift to you, I really hope you like it.'' She grabs my hand and puts the box on my palm. I hug her tightly, ''Thank you, Nadia. You shouldn't have, but thank you.''

She hugs me back and chuckles against my ear, ''No problem Rasha.'' We pull away and laugh. ''Aww! I want a hug too!'' We hear Mac run towards us, I stop him by putting my hand in the air as a Stop sign. ''Never in this lifetime, white boy.'' I said and everyone burst out laughing. He shrugs his shoulders, ''Whatever.''

We, together walked towards the cars and once Nadia unlocked her car and opened the door I felt Saiid's hand slid into mine. I looked at our hands for a second then I looked up at him. He looks at me with that adorable freaking smile, oh my god I don't think I can survive without seeing his smile. He then looks at the others, ''You guys should go with Nadia, Rasha and I will be back home in an hour or so.'' He informed. Everyone looked at us, then they looked at our hands. Gosh, I'm so embarrassed. Why does he always have to do this, I look down to hide my tomato colored face. ''Ooooo...'' I heard Jaffar giggle.

Adnan took some steps closer and patted Mr.Bashar's shoulder, ''I'm proud of you, man. I never thought this day will ever appear, I'm getting emotional.'' He faked cry. We all laughed at Adnan's actions. He looked so freaking stupid, I mean I understand that they are happy for Saiid who finally fell in love with the most amazing woman in this world. I can't blame them. I turned my gaze up at Saiid who smiles at them as he shakes his head. ''Yalla then, we are not going to disturb you anymore. Have fun! And don't do anything stupid!'' Nadia winked at me as I rolled my eyes.

They got into the car and once they drove off I followed Saiid to his car, His hand was still curled into mine, and I tried to calm myself because if I got too excited I will be sweating. And god that's the last thing I want to do! His car was parked a few minutes from the restaurant so we had to walk for a while. ''Why didn't you just park your car near the restaurant?'' I frown. He looks at me with his brows furrowed,

''Rasha you are such a lazy person, my car is parked just a few meters from us.'' He points at his car that's is parked outside a parking garage. ''It's not because I'm lazy!-'' I stopped for a second to think through what I should say next, I looked down at my heels and smiled. ''It's because I'm wearing heels and they are hurting my feet. I can't walk all day!''

It wasn't true, my heels were actually comfortable and I had no problem walking all day. But I wanted him to feel sorry for me. And he must feel sorry for me, I mean he can't make a woman walk so much. He looked down at my heels, then at me again. ''Do you want me to carry you?'' He asks with a caring, serious tone. I laughed, Wallah he's still bad at making jokes. I almost believed it. But then I notice he was being serious. ''No, no it's fine.'' He leans closer to me and I widen my eyes at him. ''I told you it's fine!'' But he doesn't listen. He carries me in bridal style as I'm wrapping my arms around his neck because I didn't want to risk falling off of his arms. ''Mr.Bashar, please let me go! I was just kidding, they don't hurt me!''

He smirks and walks towards his car with me in his arms. Once we get in I curse underneath my breath, and I know that he heard me. ''Come on Rasha, you're doing too much. Since you're my girlfriend now I can carry you whenever I want.'' I suddenly freeze at what he said. Did he just say, no he didn't! Girlfriend?! Am I his girlfriend?! Since when did we start dating? I mean we have confessed our feelings and we've kissed. But really what more does it take? I hear him laugh, ''Why do you look so shocked?''

I furrow my brows and shake my head, ''I'm not, pfft why would I?'' He smirks and starts the car. ''Sure.''

After a few minutes of comfortable silence I break the silence. ''Mr.Bashar-'' He interrupts me before I get to finish my sentence. ''Saiid, my name is Saiid. You have to stop calling me Mr.Bashar outside school.''

I sigh, then I turn my gaze over to him. ''I could. But what if I get used to it, I will accidentally call you by your first name in school.'' I explain. I see a bright smile appear his face, then I see him shrug his shoulders. ''That's your problem, but as I said I want you to call me by my first name outside school.'' I look at him like he's stupid. My problem?! Gosh that's why I hate discussing with this man. ''Whatever, Saiid. Where are we headed?'' I ask, but as soon as I ask it he parks the car. When I look out of the window my eyes caught a park. Wait, that's the park Nancy, I and Saiid where playing hide and seek.

I glanced over to him, ''I just wanted to take a walk here with you again.'' He smiled like a silly child. But then I smiled back at him. We got off the car and started walking side by side through a path. He reached for my hand and both curled our hands together. ''Can I ask you something?'' I asked after seconds. He nodded.

I took a deep breath before I even talked again. ''Why did you date some other girl while you had feelings for me?''

Saiid

Her question made my heart skip a beat, I didn't know how to react. I know it hurt her, when she found out that I had been dating Sally. It even hurt me, It felt like I was cheating on her. ''Just tell me the truth, did you like her?'' She said again. I glanced at her, ''No, of course not. It was just...'' I stopped for a second. Then I sighed, ''It just happened, I never planned on dating her actually. I knew Sally since high school and since then she was in love with me. My friends told me I should try dating Sally because... the-y thought It would make me lose feelings for you...'' I stuttered in the last part. She didn't react, nor did she say something. The only thing she let out was ''Oh'' Like she got offended.

''Rasha, don't misunderstand me. I never wanted to lose feelings for you, I love loving you. You make me so happy. But every time the teacher and student thing came up on my mind I felt so bad. And I never thought you felt the same for me, that's why. But I love you, I love you Rasha please don't mis-'' She interrupted me by covering my mouth with her hand. She laughed and shook her head, ''I know, I'm not misunderstanding anything. I'm sorry for not being clear about my feelings, sorry for making you suffer.'' She leaned in and rested her head on my chest.

I smiled so brightly as I hugged her waist with my left hand and my right hand was caressing her head. As we hugged each other I felt how everything wrong in my life faded away. Everything I had been thinking about the past few days was flooding away from my mind, my focus was only at this moment. I never knew how much this moment could mean to me, and never have I ever felt so damn at ease. ''Saiid?''

''Yes baby?'' She looked up at me and smiled. ''What will happen now? Since we are dating, how will we act in school?'' She asked with a curious tone. I sighed loudly and made her rest her head on my chest again gently. ''We should act normal, you know like before. But you will still be my girlfriend, so if there's anything wrong you should come to me. Okay?'' I informed. She hugged me tighter and looked up at me again, ''Yes, sir!'' She exclaimed. I laughed and leaned closer to her face. Our noses touching and eyes borrowing into each other. I looked at her lips and licked mine.

She burst out laughing and shook her head, ''Not today sir.'' She pulled away. I tried to pull her into me again but she jogged away from me, ''Better luck next time!'' I see her laugh, her eyes closed, and hand waving towards me.

I can't believe it, I can't believe she's finally mine.
