Part 30

Saying prayers? Him? He doesn’t even look religious!! I love guys that are free bas they still have their religious side there, ya3nii they pray and yet they still have fun in their lives! I never knew he was that kind of guy, well we cruised along talking the whole time laughing having fun... this went on for around 2 weeks, we worked on the project everyday and sometimes the whole day, we became good friends, we understood each other, always laughed, we had fun, we were comfortable with each other, we liked each other but never confessed anything and he flirted, and I blushed, it was the usual!! We fooled around took pictures of us and of everything around us!!

On the last day of the project, we had a couple of pictures for each subject, they were all photoshoped and laminated by Khalid and I just needed to decide on which one I wanted...i haven’t seen the pictures photoshoped and done, I trusted Khalid to do a good job and at that time we were just putting everything together,I needed to pick the picture I liked most and put it into each subject and we were organizing it all in a nice portfolio; we were sitting in caspers in front of Soug Sharq, we were the only ones there.

Me: ok let me check my list, la7tha let me find it...ok here it is...*I read each one out loud and he checked if we had a picture of it or not* 1.Transportation?

Khalid: ee, this is the picture of the 1920’s vehicle, w we had the light beaming on it, it’s in black and white, do you like it or do you prefer the one with the bike??

Me: Madri I like them both*I pouted*

Khalid: laa kilshai wala tez3ileen haha

Me: I’ll choose the 1920’s vehicle it’s more unique! 2. the most beautiful creature with 4 legs...

Khalid: ok, we have a baby crawling and we have a horse jumping a fence, the baby is a boy fa sawait the picture darajat blue and he was looking up with one hand up and pouting, or you have the horse and the picture is a negative, and the sun is behind him?
