The Other Man 2

Previously...

That was the first time I saw "him".

" T3awarti ? 9arlik shay ?

"I just stood there staring at him. I could speak. I'd try to but all I would do is stutter.

I got dizzy..

I blacked out..







I woke up to find myself back in my hotel room.

I brought myself up to rest my back against the head of the bed.

Seconds later "he" walked in.



Him: Ee ashwa 97eety..

Me: Huh? Where Am I ?

Him: You really dont remember ?

Me: Remember what ?

Him: You blacked out.

Me: But Im already in my room..

Him: Yeah I carried you back up.. I asked for your room at the front desk.

Me: ......

Him: I pulled you back onto the curb..

Me: .......

Him: Oh for gods sake you nearly got ran over.

Me: Ohhh !! That was you ?

Him: Badri...

Me: Sorry, I'm still a little dizzy.

Him: It's ok.. so hows your head ?

Me: Much better...

Him: 6yb ma3na your ok I'm gonna get going.

Me: Sorry but I didnt get your name ?

Him: Bader..

Me: Thank you Bader.

Him: Don't mention it..



Bader saved my life.

Though sometimes I really wish he hadn't saved me, and just let me get run over.

My flight back home was the next day so I woke up bright and early to pack. I stayed for a long weekend so there wasn't much.

I had the limo pick me up and drive me to the airport.

Once I was in my seat I thought I saw a familiar face pass by me. Guess I was still a bit woozy from my fall the other day.

I was back home the next day and as always my Msh3al was there to pick me up.

I ran into his arms!

I missed them..

I miss him.

We went back home, and as always he never stops surprising me.

He walked me into our dining where a gourmet dinner was all set.

I was speechless!

He did all of this for me.

My msh3al!




Two Days Later...


Msh3al was away on yet one of his buisness trips. My parents were taking a small vacation and flew out to Maldives for a week.

My closest most dearest friend Nawal was here so I spent practicly every minute of my day with her.

We've known eachother since we were both shipped away to boarding school.

We were both a bit of trouble makers at the age of ten. Our parents have had it and shipped us away.

Best friends ever since.

So were both out having lunch one day, she gets up to use the restroom.

All of a sudden I feel someone leaning over from behind me. I couldnt see his face but his voice was familiar.

He slolwy opend up the palm of my hand and slipped in a tiny folded piece of paper.

" I see your head is alot better.. "

Saying that, he slowly let go of my hand and walked away.

My heart was racing so fast. My eyes were wide open.

Could it really be him?

Is it so wrong to say that it felt good when his hand touched mine?

Nawal came back to the table and I told her everything.



Nawal: Oh my god! Your cheating on Msh3al ?

Me: What? Hell no!

Nawal: Well then why was he acting so forward with you?

Me: He was just giving me a piece of paper..

Nawal: Oh no no no.. you said and I quote, he slowly opend up the palm of my hand and slipped it in and brushed away from me slowly. I think thats a little too forward.

Me: So ?

Nawal: I know you Jenah.. you were turned on.

Me: I WAS NOT!

Nawal: Your only human.. not even a little ?

Me: Ok maybe just a little.

Nawal: 3adi theres nothing wrong with finding someone attractive. It's normal.

Me: What about Msh3al ?

Nawal: Your not cheating so why are you worrying ?

Me: Remember the guy I told you about ?

Nawal: Yeah................... NOOOOOOOO !?

Me: Oh yeah...

Nawal: Sweetie you've got yourself an admirer.

Me: I do not.

Nawal: Oh really? Well then let's read what the paper says.

Me: Fine... "I hope to be seeing more of you..."

Nawal: Huh ? Thats it ?

Me: I guess so.. but what did he mean see me soon ?

Nawal: Mdri 3ano.. shay '3areeb wallah.

Me: Whatever, the guy is obviously a kid playing around. What is he.. like 24?

Nawal: Babe your 24.

Me: ......Can we just go please..

Nawal: Hey relax. Don't pressure yourself too much. Shay ma yestahel..



I followed what Nawal said and just forgot about it. He was just some guy looking for a joke.

Msh3al came back that night.



The Next Day...

It was finaly the day of our party. Msh3al had gotton a new client. A clilent from Paris, whom he's been trying to represent for a long time now. This case was huge and he wanted to be the one on it. He fought so hard for this. I was so proud of him.

This party was for him. We wanted to celebrate. We invited a few of our closest friends.

The dress I had gotton from New York was customized by CHANEL. This was such a huge night and I wanted to look special for 7beeby.


The guests had finaly arrived and everyone started to mingle with one another.

Msh3al was in his study talking to someone.

A freind of his had recently moved back and they were catching up a bit.

I was anxious to meet this friend of his that he's been talking about so much latley.

Apparantley they were both in law school together.

His friend moved away to work in New York, while 7beeby stayed and started his own firm.

Msh3al wanted him on to join his firm. He thought it would help make it stronger.

From what I've herd, this friend was "a law genious". His words exactley.

At one point during the evening Msh3al called me into his study to finaly meet him.



Msh3al: 7beebty hatha Bader.



My heart started racing all over again.

I must be dreaming.

Please somebody pinch me and wake me up from this dream.

It can't really be him!

No!



Me: Ahlain Bader... 7mdelah 3ala salamah. I've herd........... so much about you.

Bader: Halla wallah bl '3alya. Msh3al you were clearly right, she's stunning mashallah.

Msh3al: Mshkoor 7beeby.. oh I'll be right back. You two stay, mingle..



7beeby kissed my hand and walked out.

It was just me and Bader.

He was standing there, 3adi, k2anah ma 9ar shay. As if he knew me for ages.

I was the one standing there shocked and frozen.



Bader: You really do look stunning Jenah.

Me: So you knew the whole time who I was ?

Bader: No, I'm really as surprised as you are.

Me: You dont look surprised.

Bader: That's because I'm happy.

Me: Happy ?



Bader came closer to me and put both his hands on my hips.

Gently and slowly started pushing me back, until my back met the wall.

He took one hand off my hip and lightly moved it from the side of my body all the way up to my left cheeck.

He brought his face closer to mine and looked deep into my eyes.

Took his lips, moved it closer to my ear and said...

" I hope to be seeing alot more of you... "
