Beyond the black lights

Chapter 21

After Running, we sat on a table to have some rest. We couldn't talk yet we kept laughing. After minutes Ali and I began a sand fight which turned to be a mud fight. After that we sat on the beach, I kept my eyes on the boat which were there far away from me. Ali began by asking me about Aamir and when he will be back? I told him 3 months from now. He asked how it feels when he's away all that time. I told him it is so bad then I began telling him that I didn't bare Aamir at all at first but then he helped me in fact twice. He was always there for me, from the day he bought an ice cream for me till the day he joined the army... Afterwards I felt cold so we went back to the hotel.

Going to the hotel, we met Dana. She asked where we have been then she kept laughing at the way we looked. *As we were both covered with mud* We completed our way but suddenly Dana called Ali and asked him for a second. I left them and went to take shower. At night, we all decided to go to the beach and light the fire. I liked this idea so I prepared my bag (took my headphones, my diary, pen, water and my jacket) and there I was ready.

After 15 minutes, Tamara and Youssef asked me about Dana. I was surprised hearing that she didn't appear till now but then I told them not to feel worry as she was with Ali. Calling Ali to check if Dana is still with him or not he said yes adding that they are on the beach. So the rest of us moved to the beach. We all sat in a circle, Youssef lighted the fire and we began our night by drinking tea.

An hour later, some people came to join us. I went and sat on a swing near them, put my jacket on then I began to write. It was really enjoyable sitting in front of the sea and hearing someone is playing guitar. Afterwards, I found Ali next to me.

He said: Oh! This girl ain't be kidnapped, can I join you?

-Put my diary away- saying sure. He asked me what I was writing. I told him nothing just crazy thoughts then I realized that he has still the mud on his body (pointing at his legs) after then he told me that Dana didn't leave him and that she kept talking in silly things. I told him she sometimes acts weird but in fact she's really good. He agreed, however, he added that she has a lot of problems.

-Suddenly Ali sneezed-

I said: God bless you.

Ali: Thank you. -He sneezed again-

I said: you have to wear something or else you will catch a cold.

He said: I'm fine. -but I told him that he has to go back to the hotel and have a shower-

He said: will you join me?

I said: Okay.

We kept walking till we reached the hotel he went to his room and I waited for him at my room. He told me that as soon as he finishes he will text me. Dana came to the room after. I was shocked then I asked her why she didn't take shower till now she told me that Ali was talking with her and she felt lazy later then she asked me where Ali is. I told her that he's taking shower she went to take shower also. She asked me to wait for her and I agreed.

After 7 minutes, a message was sent to me: Here, I finished. Are you ready? I sent him back: Yeah, I'm ready. But someone here I guess is not. I'm waiting for Dana, she's taking shower because she is coming with us. He sent: alright!

-After 5 minutes- I see we can both wait for her  he sent me -I went out to him, he looks better after showering-

He said with an ironic voice: I know we will wait for another one hour.

I said: stop it! Here she will finish now.

He laughed.

After half an hour, Dana came out.  Ali told me: didn't I tell you?

I looked at him then told Dana: what a beautiful Dana!

She thanked me then we  went back to them. As we reached the place, they told us to come quickly to draw plans for tomorrow. We spent the night laughing, telling jokes as a result we forgot to draw plans. It was really a good night.
