Part 7:In bahrain...for good?!?

Hamad asked me if I can come to Lebanon...of course I said no! Even though we knew each other for a year now…but I just can’t just drop everything and go to Lebanon...

I replied (laughing): Hamad…you know I cant…walla I would love too bs I cant.

Hamad: Walla you should try to make it…I want to spend as much time with you as I possibly can.


ana: aww so cute!! bs hun u know I cant!! I promise we'll spend more time in Bahrain together!! Plus I came up with a lot of fun date ideas...

hamad: hmmmm..if that's the case…then i guess its ok…but the offer is still on the table if u change your mind..

hamad and I continued talking and catching up with each other's news…he was becoming a big part of my daily life…I really liked him...a lot…I don’t know if I was using him as a distraction or a fling to forget Khalid…I’m not sure really…but I knew one thing for sure…I liked him and I knew he liked me too…there was definitely a SPARK there...

hmmmm…the only negative aspect to all this was Hamad was in the States...I really wish he was here for good…

little did I know that wish was going to come true sooner then later...

I sent an email to my friend informing her of my news...

Ana: I have Hamad updates... he'll be here next week.. I really think he likes me maskeen he's so nice!! walla arta7 min aklmah... he came in the RIGHT time!!! This is what I needed to forget about Khalid!

May replied: Hamad came at a really good time! il9ara7a he's a life saver…atleast he's there to make u feel better, la2ana at this point its very important ina u feel good about yourself so u can move on. wala babe u deserve the BEST and nothing less...and inshala you will get it!! bs 9adgeeni the "right" person will come along in due course..kil shay maktoob sometimes u just have to go through tiny bumps along the way in which u learn from,, fa lati7tarain and don’t sit and wonder why things happen, because we might not know now but we will find out someday..

A week later, Hamad was finally in Bahrain!!

He called me as soon as he landed…and said: baby…I'm here…

ana: 7imdilla 3ala ilsalama!! How was your flight?

hamad: it was short…good to be back home!! My friends just picked me up…I’ll pass by my house and basalim 3ala the family…see you afterwards then?

ana: ( excited) eee for sure…Saar?

hamad: ee ill pick u up in little while then..

As I parked my car in Saar cinema…ready to get into Hamad's car…I was nervous…super nervous.. My heart was beating…this was my first official date after my break-up with Khalid…I tried to distract myself from over-thinking the whole situation which I usually do...so I checked the mirror AGAIN to see if I looked cute for our date…I wore my favorite black dress with black stockings and gold ballet flats…and I had on a funky colorful necklace and I thought I looked pretty good.

He parked next to my car...I left my car…and he came to me…he hugged me hello and kissed my cheeks. I immediately forgot about my nervousness and I felt comfortable around him.. i got into the car..and we started chatting like we've been doing this all our lives..

he commented : you look so beautiful…

me(blushing) : thanks e3onik il 7elwa..

Hamad: (with a mischievous smile) So what’s the first thing on our to do list...?



ana: hmmm hot chocolate?

Hamad: ok…9ar…

We stopped in Starbucks...and he asked: ill go down and get you your hot chocolate baby…I’m sure its crowded…do you want anything specific with yours?

ana: Hun..plain hot chocolate please…skinny..

Hamad: ok..degayig.. a few minutes later, Hamad came in got the hot chocolate drinks and we continued cruising in the area... I felt genuinely happy…he was such a decent guy...

Hamad: Baby…I have something to tell you..

ana: what’s up? Tell me?

Hamad: I might stay here for good…and work with my family's company... and I wanted you to know that one of the reasons I’m staying is because of you...

I was shocked...was this moving too fast for me? What did I get myself into?
