10- Khaleed
With her back on the bed and legs spread-eagled up the wall, Noor tossed the yellow stress ball between her feet bouncing it back and forth to herself, listening to Nadia as she recounted her encounter with the Doctor earlier.
She hummed under her breath, nodding along to Nadia's words. She had wanted an alone time but she couldn't find it in herself to be annoyed at her cousin's intrusion.
"So, are you going to meet with him?" she questioned trying to imbue as much enthusiasm as she could in her words.
"I don't know," Nadia sighed, flopping on the bed next to Noor. She moaned woefully when she bumped the side of her head with Noor's arm.
"Are you sure you're even supposed to be walking around right now?" Noor questioned rolling to her side, concern lacing her words.
"Yeah..." Nadia slurred, the pain meds she had taken kicking in. "He said...said..."

If I Take a Chance 12- What Now?
Marwan was late, again.He could have blamed it on a host of things or make up excuses or hell, not say a word but as his assistant watched him warily, he knew that it was only a matter of time before his father called him out on his behavior. And that was most definitely not what he wanted on a cold Monday morning.It had rained the night before and it was still drizzling when he woke up. He hated the raining season.It wasn't the rain he hated so much as the cold. It was the aftermath after the rain that he abhorred; wet soil, it's smell and the silence after a storm."Sir?" His assistant–John called out."Hmm?" he answered distractedly."Is there anything else I can get you?""No, you can go," he answered dismissively.Curling his hands into fists to refrain from jumping and hollering about being released from his boss's pre
