Chapter 5

“Stay next to me.. I love u..”

Those words took me to another world. A world that only me

and Khalid exist in.

I remembered the feelings I felt when I first met Khalid. The

feeling u get when u first meet a person. When all u do is talk

all night and get to know one another. When u shut the whole

world out, and just talk and talk and talk...

But this time, we didn’t talk. This time I closed my eyes, and

 did what he asked me too.. I stayed next to him.

I woke up around 10 am. Khalid was still asleep. Since I’ve

missed him so much, and I know he misses me too (obviously

from his texts and what he said), I decided to do something

sweet, to show him how much I love him and how well I take

care of him. I decided to make him some breakfast.

But first, I wanted to take a shower. I went into the bathroom

and took a hot shower. Since some of my stuff was still at his

house, I wore my long black skirt that I once forget at his

place, with a white shirt that I stole from his closet.

I went into the kitchen and prepared his breakfast.

I went to his room, sat next to him on the bed and leaned

over and slowly kissed his lips then whispered in his ears

Me: 7beeby goom

Khalid: mmmmmmm

Me: 7ayaty, goom (while kissing his neck)

Khalid: mmmm (then he opened his eyes looked at me and

smiled)

He put his hand around my waist. Then he tried pulling me

into bed to lie down next to him. I laughed and pulled away.

Me: 7beeby yalla goom, ana n6rtik fel 9ala.

I left the room 3shan eygoom w eybdl.

10 mins later he came out topless just wearing his jeans. He

always loved showing off his abs.

Me: 7beeby I made u breakfast. Come eat.

He smiled and sat down. Without saying a word, he ate

his breakfast. Not even a thank u.

We finished breakfast which was very awkward.

I decided to ask him why he texted me and why did he need

me (even though I know it's because he still loves me)

Me: 7ayati, Khaloodi, why did u text me saying u needed me,

3sa bs mb 9ayer shy?

He sat there silent..

Me: Khalid??

He didn’t answer or look at me..

Me: Khalid please, say something, red 3alay shfeek?

Moments later..

Khalid: this was a mistake..

Me: what was a mistake?

He sat there saying nothing again..

Me: Khalidd! Tklm (I know he’s gonna say us breaking up

was a mistake, but I just needed to hear him say it)

Khalid: everything..

Me: yeah….. kamil....

Khalid: everything that happened last night. Me calling u. U

coming over. Sleeping next to each other. Telling u I love u.

Maryam this was a mistake..

I sat speechless wanting to cry.

Khalid: I’m sorry Maryam, but I think u should leave...
