《Keeping It Halal》Meeting With The Mom Again
Advertisement
Right now, we were in the car, driving to Mariam's house. Baba didn't come only Mama and I went, because it was the only day I get to see Mariam with a short dress and hair out of the Hijab. In Islam, before you get married to yoir future bride, you get to see her body first; but NO touchy, lol😂. You do it to still make sure you want her, check her out before you get married.
"AHHHH MAMA WHERE'S MY MAKEUP?" I asked. Mama handed it to me and went downstairs to see Marwan and Tante Lushi. OHHH GOD! I got into this dress, did my hair like this and did this makeup look:
Makeup look:
Outfit:
Hair (kept it in it's naturalness, no straightening or extensions):
After I was all dressed, I walked downstairs to see Marwan and Tante Lushi. Well Tante Lushi saw me like this, so she wasn't really surprised. Marwan, on the other hand was STUNNED. His jaw LEGIT dropped to the floor. Tante Lushi nudged him a bit giving him a funny 'you serious i've seen this before' kind of look. Oh and forgot to mention, this is how Tante Lushi looks like:
Marwan came and held his hand out to guide me to the couch. "Thanks. These heels are hard to walk in." I said, in Arabic. He smiled at me and I returned the smile. Marwan was wearing a pretty good looking tux and his hair was styled this way:
Cute, right🥰?!
After they left (they stayed for 30 minutes), I got dressed into something a bit more comfy and cozy; like some sweats. I went to my room and decided to call May. We haven't talked in forever.
Right now, I was cooking dinner with Adel. "Cucumber?" I asked him, reffering to putting it in the stew we were making. He tossed the cucumber over to me and luckily, I caught it. I've been pregnant for two and a half months now and I was REALLY craving cucumbers! I felt hands massaging my neck and it felt so good. "Oh, right there. Yea it hurts a lot." I said. I stopped cutting the cucumbers and turned around to cup his face in my hands. "I love you so much. And I am proud to be the mother of your son or daughter." I said. "No honey, OUR son or daughter." He said. He leaned in for a kiss, when my phone rang. I quickly swiped my head away, letting him kiss air😂. He groaned. He groaned again. "Later, later. Mariam's facetiming me." I said, not looking up from my phone.

May: hey girl!
Mariam: Today was the day he saw me in the short dress! He thought I looked good teheh. And his Mom did too!
May: Congrats. You like my new crop top? Don't worry, I only wear crop tops at girl parties and at home; in front of mahrams.
Mariam: Ofc, I trust you May
May: Kay Adel's a little kranky right now and I'm making dinner so I gotta head out. But come for dinner sometime! Maybe even sleep over.
Mariam: Inshallah. Well you two have a great night. And say hi to the baby for me!
I ended the call and listened to my Chill Playlist.

After I stopped listening to music, Marwan called me.

Crimson Astral Cascade
Summary: A vampire-astronaut from a futuristic super-reality, is reborn into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and now must make a living for himself and his family as a summonable spirit of the void. The ‘chosen’ son of a vast, multiversal, empire is exiled for the sake of political expediency. Honestly, they might have been trying to execute him, rather than just sending him away, but as it turned out, he survived. He fell into the grand nebula, the sewage line, and the plumbing system for the cosmos. Then he was within the base layer of the collective of mostly-destroyed universes known as the core worlds of Tesson. Now for the sake of his new family and new life, he will have to do his best as a “heroic” Astral, traveling between the myriad fractal-worlds of Tesson that still reside outside of the nebula as means of making a living. TLDR: Who hasn’t played a gacha game by now. But have you ever wondered about what kind of life those characters you’re trying to win have lived and are living? Posted only Scribblehub and Royal Road Confirmation Sequence: 2, 4, 16, 32, 64, 128…Tasty Cool.

The Pet Dragon
Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.

Red Street Daybreak
August Samuel Hatch was born under an inauspicious pattern of stars. It's granted him what is widely considered the most unlucky of inconveniences: becoming host to a powerful but pernicious spirit that will act as his guide and protector--and one day end his life. Sairne is sworn to stand by August's side and, when the fancy strikes her, advise him, all in the service of atoning for a past life she can’t remember having committed a grave enough offense to earn her soul indentureship in the mortal realm. Bound by a celestial contract neither one can negotiate, their fates are all they've ever known. But in a city ruled by religious right and where magic runs deep as bedrock, their search for a missing friend leads them to a dark conspiracy that could transmute the very magic that binds them to their fates, and that might grant them the ultimate choice: do they save the city or save themselves? Cross-posted on Wattpad and Ao3. For fans of fantasy YA story beats if they starred adults instead, 1920s inspired setting, lots of banter, larger cast of characters, somewhat soft magic system. Completed, but being actively edited prior to posting! I'm the only captain on this ship, so mind any errors.
