__________________________________



My sweet, adorable, loud little friend has been taken over. By whom you ask? NaziJuju. My parents were away for the weekend and Ritaj intended to take full advantage of the situation.She really gets into the roles of her alter egos, I'd like to say I was surprised to see her marching into my living room in army-print cargo pants and a bandana wrapped around her head, I really would, but I'd be lying the biggest lie of the century. I bet soldiers don't rock the smoky eye makeup like she does though, but she always does have to add an extra touch to everything. She ordered me to go take a shower and to "report right back for duty". Douche.


-1 hour later-


"MY GOD, GHALA! IF YOU DON'T STOP IT WITH THE MINI EYE-SEIZURES, SO HELP ME GOD I WILL STAB THE EYELINER BRUSH IN YOUR EYE AND MAKE SURE TO MAKE YOUR PUPILS MATCH THE REST OF IT, FAHMA?" Ritaj screamed at the top of her lungs.

I whimpered a little and pouted, did I mention that I was terrified of NaziJuju? I made a conscious effort not to move a single muscle and was rewarded later when she finally let me look at myself.

"Now do you wish you would've stayed still in the first place like I politely asked you to?" She asked snidely.

I laughed, "Actually, I still wish I had the common sense to lock the door."

She glared at me. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding!" I quickly ammended. I reached out to touch my straightened hair as I studied my reflection in the mirror and marveled at the stark difference between my appearance now and how it was back when I was with S3oud. S3oud. How typical of him to pop up in my thoughts on a day like this. I quickly shook the thought of him away. I'm over him, He can't hurt me.

"What are you thinking of?" Juju asked, raising an eyebrow.

I quickly plastered a smile on my face, "My outfit, duh! Have you decided which one I'm wearing yet?" I asked, feigning eagerness.

"Yes. And don't lie to me, I know that look. You were thinking of S3oud, weren't you?"

"Mmm, I plead the fifth?" I ventured.

"Uh-uh, not gonna cut it, spill! Why now hun?" She asked as she plopped down on the bed.

"Madri Juuj, I guess I'm feeling a little blah about this whole thing with 3azeez? Madri, madri."

"Honeyyy, don't do this to yourself walla I'm telling you, 3azeez is NOT a S3oud." She stated. Once the wounds had healed initially, we turned S3oud into an adjective, a synonym for asshole.

"Yeah, but who would've suspected that S3oud would turn out to be a S3oud to start off with? Madri, I know everything's perfect and when I'm with him, I don't have a doubt about where I should be.. but when I'm left alone with my thoughts, I can't stop myself from over-analyzing everything.. it shouldn't be this way, right?" I asked uneasily.

"Bil3aks, you're at the beginning of the relationship, I'd be surprised if you DIDN'T have any doubts, don't overthink it hun, everything's going to be amazing, mark my words, 3ala goltich, "you're in it for the long haul", mark my words!" She said reassuringly.

I found her words comforting and felt a much better once I had her input. I put on the cream colored babydoll dress Ritaj laid out for me, the purple tights and the matching 4 inch cream stilettos. I stood up and wobbled a little bit.

"Juju? Shnawya 3alay?" I asked, confused at her choice of shoes.

"Whaaaaaat?" She said as she flashed an angelic smile, "I just figured that losing your balance worked SO well for you last time, might as well repeat the scene!" She winked at me suggestively.

I blushed wildly and looked away, "Chub Juju! Inti shayfa his lips? You so would've done the same!" I defended my actions.

"Oh, I have no doubt that I would've! I'd gladly do the same any given day ba3ad!!" She said, a little too enthusiastically.

I glared at her. "Hey!" I picked up a pillow and threw it at her as I pouted, "Go fantasize about kissing your own man!"


3azooz showed up half an hour later in a shirt that complemented my dress. Sigh, we're so in sync. I held on to the banister for dear life as I slowly walked down the stairs, careful not to make any sudden movements. It was consuming every last drop of my energy not to abandon my senses and go running to him. He looked good enough to eat. Maybe I'll just settle for chewing on his lip. Yum. Snap out of it, G.

"You look.. stunning." He breathed.

The way he was looking at me made me forget to breathe for a while and intensified the effect of the butterflies in my stomach. I tried not to blush and failed miserably. Note to self; thank Juju profusely for her efforts later!

"You look.. clean." I replied, surprised.

He burst out laughing, "Was I covered in mud the last time I saw you?" He asked teasingly, I opened my mouth to explain myself but he interrupted me, "I'm just kidding babe, chill. I shaved." He clarified.

I remembered the scratchy feel of his stubble against my face when we kissed and blushed involuntarily. "Na3eeman." I said quietly, still lost in my thoughts.

"Allah yin3am ib7aalich, are you going to come say hi properly? Or are we going to remain 10 paces apart all evening?" He taunted.

I laughed and walked over, I wasn't sure what he meant by 'saying hi', so I just reached up and kissed his cheek. Even in my stilettos, I still had to reach up. Sigh, this man. His lips curved into a smile and my thoughts returned to our kiss. Okay, this needs to stop..

"Come on now, you can do better than that!" He urged on.

I was surprised at his prodding, "3azooz! We can't.. in front of Juju!"

He laughed again, "I was thinking more along the lines of a hug.." His voice dropped to a whisper, "But it's good to know the direction your thoughts are heading towards tonight."

Embarrassment, much? I smiled and hugged him and stifled a sigh when he hugged me back. I was feeling a little lightheaded. I stepped back a little and he kept his arms around my waist.

"Hi." I whispered to his chest.

"You know, my buttons aren't gonna reply to you, if you have something to say to me, I suggest you look up." He said cheekily.

I grinned and looked up into his eyes, "Hi." I repeated.

"Hala walla," he replied with an answering grin of his own. "You ready to go?"

I nodded and turned around to mouth a "thank you" to Ritaj and left.He opened the door for me, helped me up into his car and got into his own seat. I was impressed, chivalry wasn't dead after all!

"I made a little change to my plan.. I know I said I wanted to show you off, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I don't want to have to share you with anyone, do you mind?" He asked out of courtesy, it was obvious his mind was already made.

I smiled gratefully, I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of having to compete with the other girls for his attention, "I wouldn't have it any other way."

He reached out and held my hand, our fingers intertwined and I waited anxiously to see what he had planned for our first date..
