A7mad ra7 w salam 3la 7amany w bdaw ysolfun…

I was so lost!!! I couldn't believe a7mad knows 7amany.
They were talking for about 5 minutes or so.

Ana zain mny at'thakr shnu ta'3adait ams!;p Questions were roaming my mind, I was in shock but I was happy that something like that yjm3na, so we weren't total strangers anymore…

Mother: Walla thakarteni.. bs nrja3 elbait lazm adg 3la um 7amany w na3zmhum 3al 3asha youm elsabt.. 

I had no idea why I couldn't remember him. I tried so hard to remember or have any flashbacks, but everything was blank!

I wanted to know more about 7amany. I needed to know more about 7amany! What was the relationship that both our families had? Lish kl sabt kanw yityam3un 3ndna? And most importantly… why I can't remember him!

Everyone was chatting and enjoying their time.. I faked a smile here and there.. and that's pretty much how the night went by…

….

….

….

I got home.. 9a3adt darii and wore my pj's….. I decided to call mai to sleepover at my house, and thank god she agreed! I needed someone to talk to… desperately!

PING!

PING!

PING!

Jude: wainch?!

Mai: yalla ana bara!

Jude: thwany wakun 3ndch!

We went to my room, and I gave her one of my pj's to wear.. We thought it would be fun to watch a movie and just talk all night <3

Jude: Mai, shraych a6al3 albomat ayam elementary?:)

Mai: Eeeee yalla yeebehom khan nth7ak shway!

Jude: okk;p dgeega…

I came back to my bedroom with a handful of albums … childhood memories

We went through the pictures and had some laughs..

Mai: inzain inzain… shfeech msta3yla?? ;p

Jude: yalllaaa bashooof!!:( (I pleaded)

She handed over the picture… it was the cutest picture I have ever seen, and on the back of the photo it said.. "Jude's 7 birthday party"

A little boy was handing me a white flower… I had a baby pink dress on with a birthday hat.. while the little boy had the cutest little shorts on and a "ninja turtles shirt" . The picture was priceless.. adorable!

Mai: Jude shfeech tana7tay 3al 9oora?!;s

Jude: you can say that again!

We spent the night watching movies… but all I could think about was 7amany! It was annoying how I keep thinking about him, I wanted to stop but I cant!:(

It then finally hit me… Jude? Are you falling for him?
