"Aoun." I whispered. We all walked to him and hugged him. I wanted to run and hug him but I was to shy to do that. So I just hugged him like a normal person with normal cousin feeling would hug him. Then we walked our way out of the airport and towards the car. My dad and him say hello and hug and do all that.Then we put the stuff up in the car and sit down in the car.
I was silent and quite the whole entire ride all the way to the meet up place.
My dad goes out and gets in his car. The rest of us just sit the car and drive to my house. "So how do you feel?" My cousins asks him.
"Umm good?!" He reply's which he seems tired and shy. Which is very understandable. And they talk about stuff as I just sit there like an idiot listening till we get to my house.We park the car in the parking lot and get out of the car. Then our eyes meet then looked away. We get the suit case out and go up to the apartments. "Someone should record this!" I say.
"Why don't you record it." My cousin say.
"Okay!" Then I start recording. We all just look at each other smiling. We walk up the stairs and the door open wide open and we enter with joy and feel the ebullience from my family."Oh my god you have gotten so taller!" My aunt exclaimed. Oh I didn't really notice that till she said it. He does look very tall. Taller then my dad. Wow! "Come in sit down, Dua bring more chairs." My mother said. I go and got more chairs enough for everyone to sit down.
"Why don't you go take a shower. You will feel relaxed." My dad said,
"Yes." My uncle agreed. We took his bag inside my shared room.I live in an apartment. As you enter on your left is the dining area. On your right is the living room. You go straight then, on your left is the kitchen and on your right is the laundry room. Go father straight on your left is a barroom. One more step on both of your side there is a room. Me and my brother share a room, and my parents have the guest room which has a walking closet and a bathroom. Mine has a normal closet.
So we bring his stuff to my room and put it in the corner against the wall. We go back to the living room and talk. Yet again me being quite and silent just listing to everyone's side and main conversation go on.
"Hey can you put my phone on charging?" My cousin ask.
"Yeah sure." I say as I reach my hand out to grab the phone she gives me. I go to the room I see Aoun ironing his clothes. Oh that awkwardness! I wanted to say something so I just asked, "So how you feel?"
"Oh umm good.." he responded. I know he felt awkward to and shy. So I looked him in the eye then put the phone on charging, then look back at him and left the room."Dua!" My mom calls me. "Come here!" She calls again from the kitchen.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Go put this on the table, and then come back and take the biscuits and those stuff over there too." She orders me and I go and follow what she exactly instructed me to do.They all talk about stuff and all and I talk to my cousins just how we feel and how school and work is going. Couple minutes later came out the main lead of my love story.
"Oh here comes the sir." My uncle say. As all of our eyes were fixed on as he was some sort of celebrity that has come to my house for a family event. As he moved across the room to the couch and sat down. My eyes were tightly fixed on him. Not leaving a contact from him until he looked at me then I look away. I didn't want to smile for no reason and tell them nothing and they look at me like I have issues or something. It's complicated but yeah.
My mother comes in the living room bringing a nice big wooden try that had few cups which had tea in it. Next to it was a small glass bowl with a cute design on it. In it was sugar with a spoon in it. Who ever wanted tea took their cups and put the sugar in and sat back down.
We then all sit and gather. The conversation was on airport, rules and how his flight was oh and how things are going what has happen and how was the wedding.
There was his sister wedding there we couldn't attend because of covid. But we watch through Video call and videos. It seemed elite but sad because we weren't there to have that fun with them.
But yeah we talked and talked and talked. Until us cousin went into my share room. They all sat on my bed and I sat on my brothers bed.
The way they were close up to him both of my cousin next to him had me in a 'not a good mood' but pretend like I didn't care.
After all that they all left. Atlas peace and silence with a handsome guy in my house. Just staring at him wasn't enough. I wanted to be in his embrace! His arms I know would keep me safe. He had a nice warm smile with a sleepy face. Cute!
Since he was going to sleep in my share room on my bed. "Aoun you will sleep on Dua's bed and Dua we will take the extra matters out and put in our room." My dad told us. Yes!My bed! Eeeeeek! He will be sleeping on my bed! I wonder what he thinks? Does he want to sleep on my bed? Does he also like me? Is he happy? I have so many question going through my head that I spaced out for awhile till I heard my dad calling me.
"Dua!Go check the doors if they are locked," he said as he set my bed up for me. I go check the doors and say GoodNight to everyone and head to sleep.
"Ting."
