The peaceful music of the ocean's waves filled the atmosphere as Meera skipped along the sandy beach of Jumairah bare foot hand in hand with her boyfriend Saif. As the only child Meera's parent's spoilt her which explains why she was wearing tight jeans to about her knees and a simple t-shirt on top, her light brown hair tied up in a high pony-tail. Her family didn't mind her not wearing a shaila but they sure were gonna kill her if they ever find out about Saif.
Her mother would never looked through her phone or her stuff. Finding out was quite a thin chance.
Saif was an 18 year old tall broad shouldered teenager with a gorgeous tan and messy dark hair. He was wearing a Barcelona footballers shirt and shorts. He was the typical careless boy who had failed year 11 and repeated it with Meera in his class. Meera and Saif always insisted that Saif's failure in 11th grade was their favourite mistake, as it was the reason they met in school.
" 'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say. Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no. We are beautiful in every single way!" Meera sang.
"Urgh please stop. Christina Aguilera will quit singing if she hears your version of the song!" Saif laughed
" Oh shut up! Ely ysmaa3 ygool Rashed al Majid is very proud of the way you sing his songs" Meera retorted
Saif laughed again and pulled her towards him. He cupped her face in his hands and delicately planted a kiss on her lips. She can feel him smile against her lips as she kissed him back.
They parted and stared into each other's eyes dreamily for a second.
"Was that my birthday kiss?" Meera asked.
Saif sat down on the sand and patted the space beside him and Meera sat.
"Why are you in such a hurry?". He looked at his watch. " We still have 15 minutes before midnight and before you turn 17".
"I've never been the patient type". She sighed and stretched her feet so that when the tide went up the warm water of the sea tickled her toes.

A7mad ran up the stairs of his uncle's house to where the party was taking place. He was Meera's cousin, a 20 year old gentlemen in his second year of university, majoring in business finance.
His mother and Meera's mother were sorting out the cakes and the drinks on the table.
A 'Happy 17th Birthday' banner hung from the wall.
Fa6oom, Meera's next door neighbour was piling the presents on one side.
A7mad felt the pocket of his kandora, the little box was there. He couldn't put with all the other presents, this one was special. He had to give it to Meera himself.
Somewhere in the bundle of gifts was a wrapped collection of Meera's favourite perfumes that he had gotten for her and in another box the iPad 2. Exactly what Meera wanted.
But that little box in his pocket was going to relieve what he has kept a secret inside him for so long.
Meera's father, who is a7mad's uncle was fixing a camera on the tripod for the family pictures. A7mad's father wasn't very interested in his niece's birthday and so hadn't bothered to show up.
"Halla 3amy Bu Meera", A7mad greeted.
"Ahlain a7mad sh7alk?" Bu Meera replied.
"Tamam wallah. Where's Meerooh?" he asked eagerly.
"She went out with her friend. She's meant to be back soon. At least we have time to sort stuff out. By the way your sister Reem was in the room changing your nephew's dipper and I heard her call for help but I ignored. You know that I always consider Reem like my own daughter and her son 7amood is like my own grandson but I'm not going near dippers", Bu Meera said a7mad laughed at that.
"My Dad's the same too", a7mad said as he walked to Meera's room and absorbed the soft smell of perfume that she always wore. A smile spread across his face thinking of her.
"Reem?" he called. Reem was 5 years older than A7mad, married to a man named 5alid and has an adorable 1 year old son m7amad.
"Hi there little brother" she smiled. "I've been waiting for someone to come here. I need to go to the bathroom would you please sit with 7amoody here".
"He's asleep" A7mad said.
"That's what I thought and just when I opened the bathroom door he started to cry. Just sit with him for a few minutes until he's deeply asleep okay?"
"yeah sure", A7mad said and cuddled beside his nephew.
Reem hurried to the bathroom locked the door behind her and felt her heart suddenly start to beat when she took out her phone and saw that she has five unread messages.
Two from her husband 5alid: 'Have fun at the party, love. Send my hello to Meerooh will ya?'
The second one said: 'I can't stay awake until you come back so I'm going to bed now. Give 7amoody a kiss from me and of course for you too. Goodnight 7ayati'
Reem rolled her eyes at her pathetic husband and quickly checked the three messages that interested her more.
The first said: 'Wainch Reem you promised to call'
The second: 'I miss your voice baby'
Third: 'Call me when your free I'm waiting for you'
These messages made her smile and she quickly dialled his number.
"Hallah s3eed I'm sorry I was busy", Reem whispered.
"3ady baby I'm used to you being busy. Are you sure you're not married and don't have any kids? Cause the only people I know who are that busy are married women"
"Oh come on how many times to have to assure you that I'm a hundred percent single" Reem lied "I'm all your's baby".
"Fdaaitch Reem. I really love you"
"I love you too s3eed" Reem smiled, with no trace of guilt for cheating on her husband.
