We got into the car and we were thinking of a place to go…

Khalid: 3youni, rou7y, aamrai!

Khalid: imshai il ma6aar


Me: haha yallah!!


Khalid turned up the music; we were in a MAZAAAAAAJ mood so we heard a mix of English and

Arabic slow songs. We opened the windows he took out a cig, wala3ha.


Me: can I have on?


Khalid: LA! *gave me a look*


Me: Khalid please!!!!


Khalid: just this one, w BAS weyay!


Me: ok *I kissed his cheek*


I took a cig out and wala3tha; I inhaled, and felt like my body became numb.


I want to spend my lifetime loving you

If that is all in life i ever do

I will want nothing else to see me through

If i can spend my lifetime loving you

Though we know we will never come again

Where there is love, life begins

Over and over again


We sang.


We got there, out of the car, into pizza express.


Khalid: shenu tabeen you eat?


Me: pasta


Khalid: ok


Khalid took ordered my food and his food, we sat there talking, laughing, eating, and joking

around. When we were done we got us cold drinks from starbux and headed to the car.


We got there


Khalid: tabeen tsoogeen?


Me: 3adi?


Khalid: ee bas deerai balich 3ala my car. *he kissed my forehead*


I got into the driver's seat as he got into the passengers' seat.


By now the sun was up and it was about 6am.


Khalid was blabbing about me doing this and that and this and that and I did everything he

asked me to do.


Me: I know how to drive!


Khalid: adree baby, I'm just making sure 7abeebty


Me: inzain!


I turned up the music.


Khalid: Hit them with a little ghetto gospel


Both of us:

Those who wish to follow me (my ghetto gospel)

I welcome with my hands

And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold

And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

If I could recollect before my hood days

I'd sit and reminisce, thinking of bliss of the good days

I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to 'em

They tested, it was stress that they under

And nowadays things changed

Khalid turned down the music as I parked the car to hear the sensors. We got into my house and

out into the balcony.


Me: tabee sheesha?


Khalid: ee


Me: wait I'll let the maid set one up.


The maids were already up and I asked her to set one up for Khalid as grapes.


Khalid: where is my phone?


Me: here you go


Khalid: thanks


Me: no problem, ta3aal sit here!


Khalid was checking his phone and didn’t answer me, he looked shocked.


Me: baby shfeek!

before he noticed!
