Chapter 2

I wanted to say these words out loud. I wanted to tell him my true feelings about him. I wanted to make him feel guilty. I wanted him to feel sorry for me. He never felt guilty, except if I started crying my eyes out.
Jazi: "Eeh, adry."
Fawaz: "Yalla 3ayal come and hug me, love."
This is what I mean when he makes me feel like a princess. I went to him, and I hugged him. I love him, I really do.
Fawaz: "Nanzil nisba7?"
We have this indoor swimming pool in the basement. I dont like swimming. Bs I do it for Fawaz.
Jazi: "Enshallah."
I got up from the bed to go to the closet. Fawaz held my hands to stop me from moving. Those hands, The same hands who used to slap me several times, punch me in the eyes.
Jazi: "Na3am?"
Fawaz: "Wear a bikini."
Jazi: "Bs la maby!" I whined.
Fawaz: "Entay shfeech? Kil ma ashtreelich shay ma talbseena! Khala9 intay bss sim3ay il kalam." He said sternly.
I knew if I said something back, it will turn into get into a fight. I just nodded. I don't like showing off my body.
Jazi: "Enzayn can I wear a shirt?"
Fawaz: "Kayfich."
I quickly went to the closet. Took out everything I needed, my bikini and one of Fawaz's oversized shirts. I went to the bathroom and changed. When I finished and went out, I saw Fawaz dressed in his swim shorts.
Fawaz: "Eeh, jameela murty wallah." I blushed.
Those lips who comforted me with some nice words, are the same lips who always shouted at me for lame reasons.
Jazi: "Mashkour." I said shyly.
Fawaz: "Yalla ta3aly!"
He came to me, and held my hand throughout our walk to the swimming pool. Wi9alna ta7at, and he jumped in.
Fawaz: "Enzayn intay mu 6aba?"
Jazi: "La, bas ba7i6 reely."
Fawaz gam min mukana, ou he came to me.
Fawaz: "La ib tyeen."
Fawaz shalny mn mukany ou he threw me in the pool!
Great move, I fell inside and sank to the bottom of the pool. I could feel water rushing into my nose and ears. I quickly jumped out and gasped for air.
Jazi: "Fawaz inta shsawayt? '3aby?"
Oh did I regret saying those words. Fawaz's eyes turned red. He raised his hands to give me a slap. I quickly closed my eyes. Then it hit me. A very hard slap on my right cheek. He will never change.
