"It's me Alexa" came the voice.

"Come in" Katti replied.

"I had a feeling you were not asleep, do you mind if I sit and we chat awhile" Alexa asked.

Katti wanted to tell her no, to go away. That what she did was unfair and unkind. Katti had bleed out her heart to this woman and she had used it to set up the little fiascal, yet the words came out different.

"Yes, please do"

Within just a few minutes the adamodsity Katti felt was gone. She didn't know where it went or how but for sure it was gone. She was smiling and opening up even more to Alexa. She told her of the fear and the torment her heart suffered at hearing Besher's name. She told of her thoughts of leaving in the morning before having to see that man. It all spilled up. Alexa took Katti in her arms and spoke softly and gently to her.

"Listen Katti, I did not bring you here to run from your feelings but to face them. To come full circle with your fears or your dreams which ever they may be. This is a very important event in your life to face the man you think lied to you and to find out the truth of it all. I care about you so much and want to see your very soul happy. How will that ever happen until you come full circle around and face all your fears."

Katti knew that what Alexa spoke was the truth. She was hiding from life had been for over 5 years, lost in her own misery. Katti sniffiled and the two girls talked again like the first time they met until the early morning hours.

"It's time for me to move and get on the ball here. I have a full day planned for you all. Come on Katti girl you are going to have to pull yourself together and get up too. No sleeping in today." Alexa laughed out loud.

Katti though had just spent the whole night sitting up talking felt relaxed and at ease with herself. In fact she felt almost revived of energy. Something strange about Alexa she thought again to herself. Looking across the room and the energetic way Alexa moved around and the sight of her face all fresh and alive. No sign of drowsiness nor fatigue.

Katti got dressed and met Alexa, Doha in the Kitchen.

"I just called down to the guys, hopefully they will be up and out by the time we get down there."

"Where is Fadawa?" Doha asked in idle conversation.

"I have tried to get her up three times" giggles came from all the girls.  " I think she sleeps like a dead person" Alexa smiled.

Taking the situation in her own hands Katti went across the house and into the hallway leading to the level below.

"I'll get her up" she yelled backward

Knocking on the door that Fadawa was lodged in, no reply came, another two knocks and still no answer.
Katti opened the door slightly and softly whispered into the dark room.

"Fadawa wake up were all ready to leave"  no sound came from the bed.

Katti made her way over to the windows through the dark room. Not an ounce of sunlight was in the room. Reaching up she drew back the heavy curtains. The sun flooded into the room instantly. Beems of the hot morning sun gleemed on Fadawa.

Katti said in a louder voice "Come on get up lazy bones. We have a lot to do today"

Groaning and moaning came from the bed. Trying to turn away from the light and hide under the coverlet Fadawa begged Katti to close the curtains.

"Come on up and out of that bed. You were warned there is lots to do today and no cutting corners"

Katti couldn't beleive her own ears. Here she was giving orders and taking command like it was natural. When last night she was thinking about leaving herself. How life changed in just a blink of the eye. Pulling the covers off of Fadawa Katti laughed.

"Don't make me go and get cold water to pour on you. We don't have all day come on get up."

Fadawa rolled out of the bed moaning "Damn, I am not a morning person"

"You are now" Katti stated matter of factly.

Sitting on the edge of the bed with her eyes still closed Fadawa mumbled.

"Alright, go and let me get dressed. I will be right out and make sure there is some hot coffee."

"You got it" Katti was smiling as she left the room.

Within just a few minutes all four girls were in the kitchen laughing and making cute remarks about the guys they were about to meet again this morning in the barn.

Back in the apartment the guys were sitting around having morning coffee and eggs with meat. It seemed Mustafa decided to treat to breakfast. They too were getting aquainted and talking about the girls. Mustafa thought it would be kinda interesting to watch the reaction of Besher.

"That Katti is some girl don't think" he said.

"Personally I think she is goodlooking but Alexa is the only girl here worth going after" Hasson replyed forgetting that he was talking to her brother.

Mustafa let it pass knowing Alexa could take care of herself and had no intention of getting involved with someone like Hasson. It seems the guy was full of himself always patting himself on the back. For the life of him Mustafa could not see why his sister liked Hasson. The man had no morals at all.  Calling it a morning Mustafa advised both men that he was going to meet the girls in the barn. Besher rose instantly and put his cup and plate in the sink.

"I think I will do these dishes really quick" Besher spoke a little fast.

"There's a dishwasher we can put them in there. Wouldn't want to take anymore time up. The girls are going to be stuck doing the work themselves" Mustafa added.

Picking up the morning breakfast mess and wiping off the counter and table all three men headed downstairs to the barn. The morning sun was warm and the smell of the country was sweet. For sure it was going to be a good day. Taking two stairs at a time Mustafa led the way. Entering a small door at the side of the barn leading to the roll of stalls. Besher could see there were already three young men working and feeding horses.

"You have hired help" he asked Mustafa

"Of course no way one person can do all this work, let alone someone that works a full day outside the ranch. There are 3 full time employees and 3 part time ones."

"I see"

Hasson added his two cents worth "Yeah, I can't see doing all this work. The more help the better"

Mustafa led the trail through the isle to the Stallions section. The same place they were in last night. There were Alexa, Katti, Fadawa and Doha already caring for the horses.

"Your late" Alexa smiled.

"I'm always late. What else is new. I cooked this morning" Mustafa headed for his Stallion Al Amir. "Has he been feed yet?"

"Yes of course" Katti replied a little to fast.

Mustafa smiled and made a gesture to all by spreading his hand and bowing at the waste. "such a pretty thing you are today young Kate. Do you mind me calling you Kate?"

Blushing now she answered back "As you like good sir."

"So be it then My sweet young Kate it is."
