Almost Perfect

Chapter 2: "They Were So In Love"

I can't believe this! Every day, every minute, every second all I hear is that Mr. Nader is your fiancé! While I was getting in my car my phone rang. I opened my purse to see who it was. "Wow", I said "Who wouldn't it be?"

"Hello ..."

"Hello Vinnie where are you, everyone is waiting for you"

"What do you mean everyone ..." Oh shit I totally forgot! "Aaliyah... sorry but can you tell the girls that I can't go shopping today"

"Why can't you come ... you told us that we will go shopping for the party next week?"

"Oh yea ... sorry but today I have to go see Majid plus Mama and Baba are coming today."

"Yaaa! Lolo and Fofo are coming"

"Hey watch it, they are my parents you know"

"I don't care ... they are my second parents too."

"Hahha ok well I got to go and I promise we will go tomorrow ok"

"Ok Vivienne Abu Joda we will see"

"Ok hahha yalla bye."

"Bye"

That is Aaliyah Abraham. My best friend since we were 5 years old. As you have heard, she always calls Mama and Baba: Fofo and Lolo. Aaliyah's parents died when she was 10 years old in a car accident. Since then she lived with my family. She moved out when we turned 18. She wanted to live alone and become more responsible. She is so close to my parents especially my dad.

When I made it to the sea, I recalled that horrible day. Majid is my older brother. He committed suicide here last year. His fiancée Sara died in the car accident that they got in to 5 months before his death. He suffered from her death a lot. They were so in love. That day he proposed to her and asked her hand in marriage. While driving back a truck crashed into their car. He ended up committing suicide.

He always waits for me to come each week when I come to see him. No matter how much Majid has to wait for me, he never gets tired. That is why I love him. I always wanted to marry someone like Majid. He was everything in my life. Nader is nowhere near Majid. Nader is such a nice guy but I feel like we are not meant to be. Majid always wanted to walk me down the aisle to my husband. Even though he won't be there, he will always be in my heart.

"Majid I cannot tell you how much happened to me this past week..." After talking to Majid for a while, I got up to leave. I began to head to my car. Suddenly I came contact with a hard body.

"Hey look where you are walking!" I heard a mad yet sexy voice say.

Anger rushed through me. How dare he talk to me like that? Who does he think he is? "Excuse me but if I haven't mistaken but you're the one that bumped into me.

I took a glance at the rude stranger that bumped into me. Oh my god ... My heart skipped a beat. This man is just too HOT for his own kind.

Vivienne what are you saying and quit talking like that. His eyes softened when he looked at me, but it didn't last for long. "You must be blind because you are the one who bumped into me. You could at least say sorry."

I had trouble making out what he was saying. All I could focus on is his damn cute self. From his sexy dark hair to his black mysterious eyes, to his sexy built body. He was the perfect definition for hotness.

"Well excuse me for not apologizing for something I didn't do. Quit blaming me for something you did."

"Are you crazy? Or do you act like this to make people's lives a living hell?"

"I don't do anything like that. People that do that are people with no dignity like you." With that I quickly grabbed my bag off the ground and jumped in my car.

While driving back home Nana called me to tell me Baba and Mama are almost there. Making it through the door I could smell the food from the kitchen all the way to here.

"Nana!" I said while walking to the kitchen "Where are you" I wonder what Nana is making, it smells so good.

"I am here habibti" I heard her say. "Go change so you can eat."

"Sorry Nana but today I would like to wait for baba and mama"

"Mashi (ok) habibti" While walking up the stairs, Nana stopped me.

"Habibti"

"Yes Nana" I replied.

"Remember to call Aaliyah to tell her to come over tonight."

"Mashi (Ok) Nana"

I went upstairs to take a shower. I cannot tell you how much I needed this after what happened today. It was such a long day. I couldn't help but recall what happed today. I can't believe how rude and arrogant that guy is. Even though he was so cocky, he was so god damn sexy. I remembered his gorgeous face. It left me breathless. I shook my head at that thought. I can't believe myself. I can't be thinking about him that way. I am freaking engaged and I would feel so sad if I hurt Nader. Besides it's not like I would see him again.
