I was getting ready to go out with Haya, D ditched me! i'm going to kill her later!!!

I was soo nervous, i don't what we're going to talk about & i'm afraid i'll slip something that i shouldn't tell her.

I wore a simple black dress and applied eyeliner and a red bold lipstick and got in my car.

I called Haya.

"Aloo, hiiiiiii!" she said.

"Hiii, hayouna, ha ready?" I said.

"Almost, where are you!?" She asked.

Part TwentyTwo;; "You said hello; little did i know.."

Saturday 6th of august
The avenues
2:15PM




I kept walking without letting him sense that i noticed his stalking. I went in Vavavoom and bought Guerlain bronzer, YSL Touche Blush & An Oh! De Moschino perfume.

I saw him waiting outside at one of the exit doors. i decided to go to the other exit of Vavavoom to get him lost.



I got out and kept walking, i took a glance back and he wasn't there. i was relieved.

I went to Krispy Kreme to get a dozen of Orginal Glaze. I was addicted.
While i was waiting for KK's lady to put the donuts in the box my phone rang.

it was an unknown number. OOPS!

My heart started beating so fast while the phone is ringing and vibrating in my hand. i was scared shitless. i don't know why!

I ignored of course and took the KK's bag and decided to just get away from the avenues as soon as possible.

"BEEEP" Text message recieved. "Wain en7eshtaay?" From the same unknown number. LEAVE ME ALONEEE!! ugh.

I went down to the parking lot and FROZE!


He was in his car waiting behind my parked car! WTF!!! IS HE CRAZY!!? I stood there looking in a total shock!

He mimmed for me to come. that made me piss my pants a little.
I quickly went back up to the mall and hid in one of the ladies restroom.
WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO!?




Saturday 6th of august
The avenues restroom
3:30PM


I called D.
I thought if i called Yousef; it's going to be a HUGE problem, and i wasn't in the mood.


"D!!! S.O.S!!!" I yelled as soon as she answered.

"WHAAT? WHAAAT!!?" She yelled back.

"IM STUCK IN THE AVENUES RESTROOM!" I said.

"HUH? HOW? WHY!?" She asked.

"COS THAT JERK IS OUT THERE WAITING FOR ME!" I yelled.

"WHO'S THE JERK!?" she yelled.

"THE UNKNOWN CALLER!" I yelled.

"OMG! HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S HIM!?" she asked.

"That's not important! What can i do?!" I said.

"Is he hot?" D asked.

"HOE!!! Rakzay PLZ!! and yes he is!" I said.

"OH wow, you lucky bitch!" She said.

"TAKE MY PLACE!! wallah ma abeeh! im scared d!!!" I yelled.

"Enzain where is waiting?" She asked.

"Next to my car!" I yelled.

"WTF!! YUMAA!" She yelled.

"Honey, you're not helping!" I said.

"Im sorry, do you want me to come?" She said.

"YESSS PLEASE!!" I said.

"Okay, 10 minutes w akoun 3indech,bye!" She said.

"HAHAHA, Yeah right! byeee" I said.



I thought i should just stay in the bathroom until D get here.

"Beeep" Another text message from him; "Shfeeech wain re7tayy?" I ignored.
I waited for almost 20 minutes before D decided to show up.

"Hiii..!" D said when she entered the restroom.

"Hey, shdaraach enna i was in this restroom?" I asked.

"Cos you like this one?" She said.

"Did you see him outside?" I asked.

"Idiot, w ana shdaranii 3annah!?" She said.

"Oh am i glad to see you!!" I said with a sigh of relief.

"hehe, Okay now what?" D said.



"I dont know, im just glad someone is with me!" I said.

"Okay, then let's go and eat because im starving!" She said.


Saturday 6th of august
Johnny Rocket's Avenues

"Enzain laish ma tgouleeen 7ag yousef yet9araf ma3ah?" D suggested and took a bite out of her Orginal cheeseburger.

"NOWAY!! maynouna!! Yousef is crazy, esawee elly ebrasa!!" I said & took a bite out of my #12 Burger.

"ee 9aa7, bs may9eer ya3ni shbetsaween!?" she said.

"I dont know! i really dont!" I said.

"W lama Yousef erou7 USA, now 9ij shnu betsaweeen?" She asked.

"I dont know, please don't make me think ahead, kelshay eb wagtaa!" I said.

"Okay, allah ekoun eb 3ounich sweetie! bs you know im always here for you!" She said.

"I know, i love you!" I said.

"I love you too!" She said.

My phone rings and interrupt our delicious moment. It's the unknown caller.

"Uff, meta emel!!?" I said.

"Let me answer!" D yelled and took my phone.

"Aloo" she said.

"Na3am?" "Mballah.." "No, It's me!" "Okay BYE!" & she gave me back the phone.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He said Deema? La hatha mu 9outich, entay yemkin her friend ekhtara3t w sakarta!" she said.

"OMG, Obsessed much!" I said.

"Yeah, he's really desperate!" She said.

"Haya mu mn 9ijha!" I said.

"Well, i think Haya just gave him your number, but he actually fell inlove with you!" She said.

"What? i dont think so! ambaay, we never had a proper talk for him to fall in love with me! that's silly!" I said.

"Well, Yousef fell inlove with you before even speaking to you, didn't he?" She asked.

"uhh..." I stoped talking for a while.. "I guess.." I continued.

"This is too complicated!" She said.

"7daa!" I said and took a sip from my diet coke.

Saturday 6th of august
The avenues
6:30PM

We were walking from Johnny to the parking lots.

"What if he's still waiting there?" I said to D, worried.

"La shda3wa i don't think so!" She said.

"He's crazy, esaweeha wallah!" I said.

"La i don't think he'd wait that long 3ad! e9eer 9ij desperate!" D said.

We got to the parking lots and thank god he wasn't there.

"Ashwaa!" I said as soon as i noticed no one was around my car.

"Yalla enmashi ba3a'9 lai share3 demashq!" D said and walked to her car.

"Okay, ciao!" I said and walked to my car.

Just before i get in my car i saw a piece of paper on the door handle.

"what's that i wondered.."

it read "Call me please. you know who i am!"

I ripped the paper and threw it away.
He's starting to get on my nerve!

Phone rings. None other than the unknown caller. I ignored.
He sent a text. "Please say anything..?"

I replied with; "Leave me alone,please!"

I started the car engines and followed D.

5 minutes later. BEEP.
A new text message.

Saturday 6th of august
My car
1 PM

On my way to the avenues, i wanted some beauty products from vavavoom and i wanted to shop in some certain stores. I was listening to my i-pod on shuffle, and the song "Breathe" By Anna Nalick was playing and i was singing along.

i was 5 minutes away from the avenues. i saw a guy in a tayota Prado and he was around 20 or 21 years old i assumed,he has really dark hair and he's tanned, he looked good, he's been following me for almost 3 minutes and when i go to a different lane, he would drive to the same lane,is he following me, or his destination is the avenues too?


Saturday 6th of august
The avenues
1:15PM


I was walking to an escalator after finishing shopping in Gap & topshop when i saw the Prado guy behind me and he wanted to get on the escalator too,
coincidence much?
Or am i thinking way too much into this?
