Alright, I'm not sure how to say this so I'm just going to say it. My name is Halima Khan and I'm a young woman of Saudi Arabian and Somali descent living in the City of Ottawa, province of Ontario. I attend Carleton University, where I study business administration. Most people assume that I'm just another hijab-wearing pious and chaste Muslim gal when they see me and I'm fine with that, since nothing could be further from the truth. What people don't realize is that girls like me have sexual needs just like all women, like all human beings, really. Don't assume that we're little robots simply because our religion is strict. We still have fun, albeit very discretely. Rules were made to break, after all.
That Friday night after Jummah prayers in the mosque, I went to visit my friend Fatima Kader, a young Somali-born British woman who studies computer science at Algonquin College and brought our mutual friend, University of Ottawa medical student Khadija Abdullah with me. Khadija is originally from Yemen, and she's cool with us Somali folks, partly because Somalis and Yemenis are neighbors. We had a blast that night. We ordered pizza, watched some TV and just had a good time. Indeed, we love to have fun once we're away from the prying eyes of family, friends and society. Women the world over are judged daily by men. That's why so many of us lead secret lives. No one is exactly what he or she appears to be, that's human nature. That's why what I'm about to reveal shouldn't shock you too much.
Fatima and I are lovers, and our friend Khadija is like us, a young woman who is sexually attracted to other women. We've fooled around before but that Friday night, we got together for our first threesome and let me tell you, it got intense but we had a blast. I came dressed to kill. I'm five-foot-nine, slim and fit but curvy where it counts and with a nice booty. I have light brown skin, amber eyes and long curly black hair that I always tuck underneath my hijab when I leave my house in the morning as is the rule for observant Muslim women. I looked pretty hot in my tight blue jeans and black T-shirt featuring Rob Zombie, my favorite musician.
As soon as Khadija and I walked in the door, Fatima walked up to us and kissed me on the lips. Gently she patted my ample derriere, causing me to giggle. Fatima smiled at me and told me my ass looked hot in those tight jeans of mine. I've got a fat ass and it's always getting stared at by men and occasionally by envious or lustful women. What can I say? I've inherited the best of both worlds thanks to my East African and Saudi Arabian genes, ladies and gents! I rubbed my hands over Fatima's breasts and she moaned in pleasure. Standing nearby, Khadija laughed and told us not to start the party without her. We went to the living room and watched TV. The television program True Blood is my favorite show, next to Supernatural and Vampire Diaries. I don't really watch anything else except The Colbert Report and reruns of Buffy and Angel. What can I say? I am a nerd and damn proud to be!
We had some pizza, and then got the festivities underway. Now, even though Fatima and I had hooked up dozens of times having Khadija around kind of changed our dynamics a bit. Fatima and I have known each other for a while. We're both international students. I was born in the City of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to a Saudi father and Somali mother. I lived my entire life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and moved to the City of Ottawa, Ontario, three years ago. Living in the Capital region of Canada has changed me. I've fallen in love with Canadian culture, and I love the freedom I've got in this place. The freedom and power that women enjoy in Canadian society fascinates me.
Since moving to the Confederation of Canada, I have only gone back to Saudi Arabia once. I don't miss the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia too much. I mean, I love my parents but Canada is like paradise in my eyes. A place where people of different races and religions can live peacefully. A place where women can be business leaders, politicians, religious leaders, soldiers and police officers. I want to have a life here. I think it's the right I don't want to go back to Saudi Arabia and be stuck in a dreary life as the wife of some lecherous Arab pervert. In Canada, men who like men can marry each other. Women who love women can also be wedded here. Same-sex marriage is legal. I'm not sure if Fatima and I will take things that far but I'd love to share my life with her if she'll have me.
The first time I laid eyes on Fatima Kader, we were at the international students meeting on orientation day. We were the only two Muslims and the only dark-skinned women among throngs of students from the United States, Europe, Latin America and oddly enough, Japan. The first time our eyes met I knew that she was like me, a woman who loves women. This five-foot-four, chubby Somali sister with the wide hips, big breasts and big round ass stole my breath away. We exchanged numbers and added each other on Facebook. Before long we were inseparable, walking around downtown Ottawa together, going to the movies and also hanging out at Muslim community events. Yeah, that's how we became close friends...and more. We fell in love. Yeah, we're two hijab-wearing, modestly dressed and forthrightly pious young Muslim women who go to mosque and pray five times a day...and we're in love with each other. How about that?
Fatima is the first person I've ever had sex with. I must say that as much as I love and cherish her, sometimes I wonder about what sex with other girls must be like. Khadija Abdullah is someone I find sexually attractive. She's tall, around five-foot-eleven, curvy and strong, with light bronze skin and light brown eyes. Her hair is long and black, somewhat curly. She has freckles on her round, pretty face. You don't see too many Saudis with freckles but Khadija has them. Her father Ali Abdullah is Saudi but her mother Meryem is originally from Turkey, or so she told me. I find Khadija's big round ass simply fantastic. I mean, Fatima and I are both of African descent and this Arab's chick has a bigger booty than both of ours...combined! Damn.
