"So, what's all this?" Nuha asked as she felt the sand beneath her feet sink deep under her weight. Her black hair flowed down on her back in waves and twirled gently with the soft brush of wind that caressed her face, her eyes found Haider's as they came to a halt by the shore.
"Nothing" he simply smiled with a small shake of his head, "I heard about your mother I'm really sorry" he said taking her hand in his making her lower her eyes to their intertwined hands.
"It wasn't something any of us could've stopped, I tried but that's all I could do" she whispered into the silent night, the wind whistling lowly, the waves crashing against the shore and kissing their feet with their cold lips.
"So how was dinner?" Haider asked feeling the silence gnaw at him, being with Nuha was anything but a moment of silence.
"It was nice" she whispered smiling softly at him, her attire, the hairstyle and her soft voice; everything was making her look like a fairy who descended the sky for this special night.
"I hope you had fun" Haider said making Nuha chuckle at the nervousness that was surrounding them.
"I did" she said still smiling making him loose his stiff posture and flex his shoulders to feel a little free.
"Gosh...." Haider exhaled dramatically making Nuha grin wider as her eyes followed his movements.
"what?" She asked with a small squeak to her tone.
"It feels so weird having you beside me and still have it so quiet like Nuha from a week before would've been screaming and getting her dress all wet from running into the water like a kid" he exaggerated gesturing at the water that shimmered a light blue under the moon.
"Ah.... yes" Nuha nodded while tapping a finger on her cheek.
Haider tried taking her hand back into his but she pulled it away taking a few steps away from him making him furrow his eyebrows.
"What? Let me hold your hand" he said trying for the third and not succeeding, the woman kept stepping backwards.
"Then what's stopping you?" She asked with her lip tucked under her teeth and hands held behind her back. The two were already knee deep in the water and the growing smile on her face was a clear giveaway that this was about to be a chase, Haider tried again only to have cold water splashed on his face.
"You—" Haider tried again but this time the chase had begun. Nuha's laughter rang in the starry night sky as she tried running at her full speed but the water was an obstacle, not that she mind.
They're feet tore through the restless surface of water as the man chased the woman who's dress was now sticking to her body, her hair starting to curl at the ends from the water that the two were continuously splashing at one another and her smile so bright Haider did not mind getting his expensive shirt ruined by this woman yet again.
