I fell into a cold sweat. It was way too soon for I love you's. Does he expect me to answer him back? I need to talk to Mona.

Mona was sitting with Zooz and 6alal in the upstairs living room. I joined them they were playing Monopoly. I hated bored games, I never won which made me angry.

a7mad: Hala hala

Mona: Hala feek 7beeby

a7mad: ha who is winning?

Marzouq: your wife

a7mad: Kafo walla, yalla rematch 3shan afouz 3laiha, 7beebty ma 3laich 2mer aby gahwa min edich

Mona: Inshalah, inta tamer 2mer

a7mad: my2mer 3laich 3do b3d 3umry walla

Mona was made for A7mad, and A7mad was made for Mona a true match made in heaven. Alah ehanehum inshalah!

Mona: Shosho, 3lawi taboun gahwa?

3lawi: ee walla Mona ma3laich amer!

Mona: Lulu hun wanna help me?

We walked down in silence. I did not have to say anything she sensed my discomfort.

Mona: So whats wrong?

Lulu: He said I love you. What am I suppose to do?

Mona: Well do you?

Lulu: Ma adree MunMun.

Shosho: what are we girls dishing about?

I still have not told Shosho, I knew she would tell 3lawi and I did not want to have to deal with my brother and his temper.

I am not proud of what I am doing, but I have always been there for everyone. Didn't I deserve my chance at happiness? I hated hiding such an important part of my life from my best friend, but I no longer knew her.

We poured the coffee into the cups.

Lulu: Ooo I brought strawberry cheesecake

Mona: ee Shosho please bring it with you

Shosho: Inshalah

We took the coffee, and the cake to the men upstairs. I realized that Fai9al has been distant the past few months.

Fai9al: Fee gahwa 7gy?

Mona: ee ee I made extra.

Lulu: 9ooly ta3al yamy I miss you 7beeby.

Marzouq: ee bs fai9al haa o i7na?

Lulu: Zooz honey you know you are my favorite!

6alal: YA SALAM!!! okay okay lna allah!

Lulu: Come on I love you all the same, you are my brothers and I would die for you all, bs I raised Zooz o uhwa dalo3na!

We chatted for a few hours, before the married couples headed back to their quarters.

Fai9al: I think its time we headed over to your room with some Chai 7leeb right?

Lulu: Nope, 7beeby nothing to tell

Fai9al: Okay

I hated lying to my brother, to Fai9al. But I could not come out and tell him I was dating 3bdullah. He would be disappointed.

3bdullah was my life away from my family and I needed that.

Lulu: Sure yala kany nazla
