If He Only Knew Ch.5

I let go last night though it didn't feel quite right but i tried my best to think positively! So i woke this morning and i found a dm from nawaf and when i did i smiled like seriously elebtsama shagt wjhi because yesterday we didn't talk much. and i thought to myself maybe we are meant to be after all so why would i keep on pushing him? Y3ni destiny is destiny.

I exited the hotel and i asked the valet to get me a hotel taxi i hopped in and we were heading to spectrum.

Hala: yes

Taxi guy: cool  you like it here?

Hala: a month

Taxi guy: that's a lot!!

We kept chatting randomly until we reach there i gave him the room number and name and hopped off the car, i started getting butterflies and my blood started to boil.. 

What the hell are you doing hala? You came here for a guy? What???? M7amd never asked you to come to spectrum when he was there!!! Right? Uff stop. I need to stop.

I whatsapped him telling him i arrived he said he's on his way.

He came closer and cupped my face with his very cold hands" lma agolk tswen shay tswena" in a very aggressive yet sexy tone.  

Hala-pouting-: la

He kissed me fast. Like a real kiss. Omg. No he didn't. 

Hala-pushing him-: la la la la!

Nawaf: ok ok asf walla bl3'ala6

I hopped in and then nawaf came he started the car and drove without saying a word, i was still feeling kind of awkward after that kiss.. Y3ni it's a kiss mstaw3ben?

Nawaf: 3arabi wla english?

Hala: 3arabi 

When we reach the first traffic light he started scrolling down his iphone looking for a good song 

Nawaf: ehda2

I was getting excited! Yala yala

"Mntt rayg fek shay w mt6'ayg! Mant fe 6ab3k wla hatha mzajk"

"Eltf le shway, m7taj ldgayg ana ma 9dagt ashofk w ntwaajh"

"3sh m3y fe far7tii w ensa el5laayg" 

I blushed because the song described our situation for a minute.  

I stopped the song and then he looked at me smiled and then back to the he gave the street all the attention again.

Nawaf got a bit mad, shwaya bs. 

Hala: 3adi i plug my iphone

After we got in the car and the atmosphere was a bit tense and since he already dedicated me a song i thought i should dedicate him one. 

"Just please don't say you love me, Cause I might not say it back,

Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping When you look at me like that."
