Chapter 2

I woke up next day to Leen's laughing over Shaikha's snoring and drooling face. I laughed along then took a picture of Shaikha, and got up to wash up and do my morning buisness. While I was showering I remembered that I wanted to ask Leen about her awkwardness at Shaikha's last night, so I tried to finish quicker than usual and ask her before Shaikha wakes up to know what's behind her creepy attitude. I finished and got dressed, then got out and found Shaikha still asleep, so I asked Leen to come downstairs with me for breakfast. I asked Marry to chop some cucumbers and bring it with yogurt to the garden where Leen and I would be sitting. I went to Leen who was laying on the grass enjoying the sun. "Ellow love!" I said cheerfully, "Oh, hola mi amor" answered Leen with her eyes shut enjoying the fact that sun rays were warming up her tanned skin. "Get your head off the grass, there's a thing I wanna discuss with ya!" "Ugh, can't you talk while I'm laying down dude?" I gave her the 'you know the answer's no' look, so she got up and looked at me with her almond shaped dark grey eyes waiting for what I'm about to say. "Leen I wanna know why did you get all creeped out and started acting so awkward when you saw me laughing with Bader last night at Shaikha's?" I said out of curiosity. She cleared her throat and looked down then said "I never thought it was that obvious... Um Lulu, I kinda hm I don't know how to say this? You see, I kinda accidentally had a crush on him for the last two years and I got jealous when I saw him laughing and joking around you but not notice me! I'm really sorry I know it sounds stupid, but I was just jealous! I mean you're my sister and I love you, and you know that but it killed me a little inside to see him ignoring my existence!" she said in a bit of a 'I know I'm pathetic' tone put in her sweet voice. I looked at her in a confused look then I let out a giggle and said "I really can't see why you got jealous! You know you're the prettiest between us, and Bader is my brother from another mother, I never see myself liking him or flirting with him! Plus, haven't you ever noticed his stares at you when you're soaked into doing something? Don't you remember when Shaikha's younger sister Basma spilled coffee on you by mistake how Bader reacted? Don't you remember how he shouted at Basma telling her how stupid and reckless she is! Come on! You can't be that stupid not to notice he obviously likes you and treats me just like Shaikha, or probably even more as a sister!" She smiled shyly then said "You think so? Does he really like me?" "Of course he does stupid!" I said supportingly "And since when do we have secret crushes? Why didn't you tell me about him! We must tell Shaikha! She'll laugh her guts out knowing her stupid brother has secret admirers hahahh!" "Huff shut up!!! I don't know it just didn't feel right to talk about it! I'll kill you if you told Shaikha Lulu! And he's not stupid, cut that out! Wallah he's amazing!" she said while her cupid bow's shaped full lips turned into a smile. "Awwweee somebody's whipped! You know I'll tell Shaikha either you approved it or not hahahah! You look so cute talking about him and stuff hahahah! My god didn't you find any other guy hahahah? Bader? Why hahahah?" I said while my stomach started hurting cause of laughing. She gave me such a threatning look that made me hold my mouth to stop the laughter cause she freaked me out. "But no seriously he's so adorable with those beautiful wide brown eyes! Those mouthwatering six packs with the sexy tanned skin! That eye-tearing smile that gets two dimples following it! He has a beautiful soul Lulu! Why can't you see it? God some people are so blind to notice beauty!" She said staring into the sky probably imagining his goofy face. "HAHAHAHAHAH!!! Oh my godd!!! You should see your face!!!! Someone's seriously whipped! This is so hilarious! When will Shaikha wake up! She must see you all dreamy and talking about bader that way! Ahh I have to go the toilet! I'll be right back, tata lovee!" I said and got up right away running my way to the toilet. "REMIND ME TO NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHINGG!!!!" Leen shouted while I was running. I kept laughing like a lunatic while I was running and turned around and said "You can't you'll always tell me everything hahah..." when suddenly I bumped into something and fell on the floor "Shit Yazeed didn't you find a better place to be, why are you in front of me, didn't you see me running? Ugh seriously?" "You're too clumsy, it's not my fault! I've never seen someone running without looking ahead of them" he said then let out a laugh and extended his hand to help me get up, I got up "Shut up and move I need the toilet!!!" And I pushed him away and kept running. I finished what I had to do then went back and found Yazeed, Shaikha, and Leen talking and laughing. "Hey hey shh she's here" Yazeed said trying to tease me. "Ha ha, so funny. Anywayy, Yazeeed, you know you're my favourite person in the world, right?" I frowned and tried to get my wide dark brown eyes into puppy eyes. "Hey, what's up with your eyes?" He said "Ohh I get it, what do you want?" he raised an eyebrow after saying that. "Can you take us out? We're really bored and we wanna go out!" I said in a begging tone. "Okay sure, my friends are all sleeping anyway, so I don't have anything to be doing" Said Yazeed. Shaikha laughed then said "So if you had anything to do, you wouldn't take us out?" "Well, no you see I would, but I probably wouldn't even be here to begin with, so... But anyway, where do you wanna go?" He said trying to change the subject. "I wanna eat!" Said Shaikha holding her stomach and frowning. "Yeah, I wanna have lunch, where do you wanna go?" Asked Yazeed. "Umm Karam Beirut? I've been craving Lebanese food for a while now!" Said Shaikha. "Do Lulu and I not exist, or what? Yes, sure, as long we eat something!" Leen said. "Okay then, go get ready and I'll get the car started." Said Yazeed while walking away to the garage. We went and brought our abayas from my room, I told Shaikha about the Leen and Bader situation while we were walking she busted out laughing. When we got to Karam Beirut and sat on our table, we looked at the menu, Shaikha suddenly winked at me and said "Bader loves Lebanese food so much! Let's ask him to come over with us!" "Yes sure call him!" said Leen in the most excited tone ever. "Oh yes, it's been a long time since I've seen him!" Said Yazeed. "That would be fun!" I said then busted out laughing. Shaikha called him, and he said he'll be over in 10 minutes and we should order for him too till he gets here, so we did. We ate and so, then I told them I wanted to go somewhere with Yazeed, so it's better if they dropped Leen off at her house. Shaikha agreed and we busted out laughing, then Leen smacked both of our heads and hugged me right afterwards and whispered thank you a billion times in my ears. I laughed and asked her not to act awkward around him cause that would freak him out! I went to Yazeed's car, he was staring at Bader's car, basically at Shaikha, so I snapped at his face and told him "So everyone's whipped about someone and I'm just stuck alone forever!" "Huh? Who's whipped? No what?" he said looking as afraid as a child who ruined his mother's makeup! "HAHAHAH! You have to see your face! Bader and Leen are all into each other, and you're all into Shaikha!" "Watch your words. I'm your older brother don't act like a know-it-all!" he said trying to hide the truth. "Yeah sure, well too bad cause I can hook you up, and you know there's no other way for you two to be together other than that!" I said. "For real? You'll help me?" He said out of excitement "Hmm hahah I was joking, I don't like her that way!" He said trying to hide the fact that he just shouted at my face in excitement. "My god, you're so bad at lying! Yeah, I'll help you! You're my brother, of course I will!" We kept talking about this subject for the rest of the ride, then he said that he'll go to his friend's house, so he just dropped me and left. I went to my room, got into my swimming suit, then went downstairs and swam for 2 hours all by my own, and watched Crazy stupid love afterwards, and decided to sleep, so I layed there for about 3 hours thinking of everything... I wonder how can Leen's father stay all of these years having no wife? While my father has two kids and a wife already, but he went for another one? How could he? I wonder how she looks like... Is she prettier than mom? Ah no way in hell, she must be ugly! But why would he marry her if she was ugly? Come on just cut the crap and sleep! But I can't. Agh I wish I'd be 15 forever! This crap's confusing... So finally the world turned black and I went into my imagination.
