Pink Dreams and Black Ones

"What have I got to do to prove that I do love you, but I just can't do that?", Sarah pleaded, "Just tell me anything else and I'll do it".
"Fuck you and your charity, I'm not asking you to do it, I'm telling you to do it.." said Khalid calmly.
"You're being childish.. don't talk to me like that", she said feeling a bit uneasy, knowing where this was going to go.
"Listen, we've been together long enough for you to know that you don't get to call me childish. You also should know that you don't tell me how to talk to you. Who the fuck do you think you are?"
Trembling now, Sarah recalled the first month she got to knew Khalid. How he meant the world to her. How he would do stuff for her. If only she knew...
"Men ga3ed a7achee ana.." Khalid stormed. He also remembered how he was with Sarah. Putting on a happy face all the time, never once did he not do what she asked of him. Only difference is, he knew that this was bound to happen...
"I'm here, Khalid. I just don't know who I'm talking to anymore. You're being unreasonable". Sarah was in her bed, had the TV on mute, and her homework scattered all over the place.
"Look, this is getting way too boring. You either do as I tell you, or that's it, I can't be with you anymore. We don't connect like we used to". Khalid was in the dowaneya, had three of his friends dead-silent, and had Sarah on speaker.
"That's because you never asked this of me before. I never thought it'd get to this".

Sarah, a twenty two year old girl, never suspected two things. First, that Khalid would be a 'typical guy', and second, that anyone knew about her relationship with Khalid. If only she knew...

Khalid, a twenty three year old guy, never suspected two things. First, that Sarah would be any different from any girl, and second, that he would eventually show his true colors to her. The only difference being, Khalid knew all along that this was bound to happen...

"Shlon al7een? betsereen aademeya?"
"For the millionth time, FORGET it. I just can't"
"So you would, if you could?"
"No."
"That's what you're saying.." Khalid winked at one of the guys, who just shook his head, smiling.
"Khalid, is that all you have to tell me?"

Sarah had two brothers. She started to think of them now, and how they would feel if they knew what Khalid was asking for. She rejected that thought, and just wondered what her brothers' reaction would be if they knew that she is in a relationship.

Khalid had four sisters. It never crossed his mind that one of them would be in the shoes of Sarah, ever. He told himself that 'that shit doesn't happen in my family'.

"Yes, that is all I have to tell you."
"Okay then, I don't think this is working out. It's a shame you're putting the last two years behind you".

Khalid thought about that. For two years, he was building on his scheme. He knew Sarah was a nice girl, he suspected that he was the first one she ever talked to. But he, being the gentleman at the time, never asked. Of course, he would also tell Sarah that he did in fact talk to many before her, but that she was 'the only one who made him feel this way'.

Sarah, now seeing that this isn't going to work out, thought about the time it will take for her to get over Khalid. Her first 'love', she knew that it would be hard. If only she knew...
Khalid wasn't really thinking about anything but winning the bet with the guys. He just wanted Sarah to agree to prove to them that he can handle her. Sarah did not suspect a thing of course, she thought Khalid was in his room.

Khalid started, "to me at least, it looks like you've just been playing me. For two years I've done nothing but everything you ever wanted, and been the best you could ever wish for, and you can attest to that. Now look at you, you can't even do me a little favor."
Sarah couldn't help but think that all Khalid was saying was true. Simply because it sure was. Only difference is, she had no idea about Khalid's motivation.

If only she knew...

They talked for another thirty minutes.

Real men will never go behind the backs of other men. Know it.
