She had a look in the mirror..
She brushed her hair a little with her fingers.
Adam
Haha hello miss Khaled.
Adam
Not until I saw your picture once you texted me. It’s a surprise for me too.
Reema
How my mom knows you?
Adam
Well, I think that your aunt and my mother are neighbours..
Reema
So at the end they lied, you never saw my picture.
Adam
Honestly… I refused to.
Reema
So we have the same idea about the situation at the end, But…
Adam
About work? I am professional miss Khaled so don’t worry work will remain work.
Reema
I’m kind-of relieved now.
Adam
So, I’m still a 14 century guy?
Reema
Haha I don’t think so..
Adam
Well, I’m not disappointed.
She blushed a little and smirked..
Adam
But what we’re gonna do in this matter?
Adam
A game of pretending.
Adam
Pretending that we’re actually dating and liking each other in order for our mothers to stop play with our lives.
Adam
Well.. you have better idea?
Reema
I thought guys had privileges in our Arabic families.
Reema
At least my brother had, he’s 28 years old and no one get involved in his live life.
Adam
I had too this privilege, not anymore.
Adam
I had a British girlfriend.
Adam
I was about to ask her for marriage but my family refused.
Reema
I will think of that game and I’ll answer you.
Adam
Alright, I’m waiting.
Reema
Why I’m kinda disappointed?
Reema

Rania

Reema
He already has a girlfriend.
Reema
I knooow the girlfriend isn’t arabe so his mother wants him to marry someone from the same ethnicity or religion.
Reema
He wants us to pretend as we’re dating.
Reema

Reema
How things are going as a senior year at high school?
Rania
I mean very boring!!
Rania
I didn’t get a high school boyfriend.
Reema
Neither did I, just focus on your studies.
Reema
I have to go to sleep.
She laid back to her bed.
And all she could think of is his face.
She tried to ship her thoughts into another way… but as soon as she did his smile or a word he said pops on her mind.
She couldn’t figure out what wrong with her.
She stayed up that night.
Adam
Good morning miss Khaled.
Reema
Oh sir.. good morning.
Adam
I’ve been standing here for while now.. can you open the door?
She looks at herself in the mirror
She brushes her hair with her fingers real quick.
Reema
Oh yeah yeah of course.. come in.
Reema
Yeah… me and my roommate are always for the coziness.
Adam
Haha I see.. is she or he here?
Reema
She… and no, she’s staying at her mother’s house for now.
Reema
Uuhh.. I’m not really use to have guests here… do you wanna something to drink or..?
Adam
I’m here just to hear your response.
Adam
My mother called me this morning, and I didn’t answer her.
Adam
I wanted to know your opinion first.
Adam
You don’t have any response yet I guess.
Adam
Look miss Khaled, I don’t have much time to spend. I’ll take it as a no.
Reema
Okay… I mean I agree.
He grins and he approached her until they were one foot apart.
He kissed her on her front.
And grabs a paper from his bag.
Reema
U must’ve been kidding me!
He leaves it on the table.
Adam

Adam
Be prepared, I’ll pick you up but 7pm.
Adam
