Suhyla's P.O.V.
My eyes went wide and I started apologizing none stop due to embarrassment
"No no, it's ok, I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have startled you, I'm sorry" he raised his hand to stop my ramble, and I could hear a slight hint of Australian accent, maybe he studied there.
We both fell into silence until he spook again "Are you lost?"
I scratched the back of my head, feeling my face heating up, oh Allah this is so embarrassing, I opened my mouth to answer but no words formed so I just nodded.
"I could tell, the bathroom?" I nodded again "it's the door at the extreme end to the left" he pointed to the end of the hallway.
"Shukran jazeelan" (thanks a lot) I nodded and went off to the direction.
I heard him call after me but I picked up my pace and went through the door as fast as humanly possible.

After I was done with the rest room I came out and started looking for Fraia , who I haven't seen all night, where could she possibly be, I brought out my phone and called her, some few rings later she pick.
"Hey, girl where have you been?" she answers with a muffled voice
"As salaam alaikum, Fraia, where are you?" I asked her
"Wa alaikum as salaam, I'm here by the buffet" well that explains the voice, she's eating. Fraia has become accustom to some Islamic terms even though she isn't a Muslim
"Okay, I'll be right there" I made my way to the buffet and saw Fraia sitting on a table with a plate of food in front of her.
I went and sat down beside her "Hey girl you look good, cream and gold are really your colour"
"Thanks" if I do say so myself mama did pick out a great dress for me, I was wearing a long sleeved cream cotton dress with golden embroidery in the middle from top to bottom.
"And I like your dress too, if I must say you look hot" I whispered the last part
"You know you can say the word rigth, stop making that face like you made a sin or something"
"What face, I'm not making any face" which I probably was.
She just shook her head "Well ok, the word just sounds dirty to me in that context" I admitted
"You know, you're the only 25 year old I know that's this reserved and so innocent, heck even you sister is more corrupt then you"
"I take no offence in that, and makes me want to have a long talk with her apparently"
She just snorted.
"Well I accept your compliment, even more since I made you say the forbidden word" she says in a mocking tone
I laugh at that, only Fraia "And onto the topic of hot things, there is this really fine Arabian hunk that has being staring at you" she said, gestured with her eye at the said hunk
"Where.." turn to look " well don't make it too ovi.." she tried to stop me but, I've already seen the said hunk who was none other than Fa'az the prince himself, who I had the humiliating encounter with some few minutes ago.
