As I was walking back down the halls I made sure to walk out the door I had come in just to check out the candy-stripper again. She was there and, to ...y surprise (as I was told Middle Eastern women tended to be shy. This turned out to be total BS), she saw me, got up and walked directly to me and told me her name was Ghida (it means a type of beautiful tree, I believe) and shook my hand. I told her mine and thanked her for being so attentive and helpful to a foreigner. I noticed she continued. Her legs looked like they belonged to an elephant and her lips felt dry and cracked—she had forgotten her favorite strawberry lip-gloss that made her lips look pouty like those of kissing fishes. Sara scratched her head. What if Ian was joking yesterday? What if he only wanted to play with her heart, just like how Lisa did to all the dorky boys who tried to date her? What if he would come into work, point a finger at her, and laugh at her for falling for a trick or a mean joke? She’d explode.. You're a master of using and discarding people, so why should you be surprised when it happens to you?Because I've got to meet my next 'boyfriend', that's why. No, you're not the only one. You never have been! You're just another man who I've seduced and dumped after I got what I wanted from you.'Damn me to hell?' Oh, that's a good one! Like I've never heard that one before! Well, I've got news for you. You're too late. By more than a hundred years, you're too late! I'm already damned. "Hey, what the fuck are you doing up untied?"I laughed. "And you didn't think you could trust me." I paused and got serious. "I TOLD you I love you and even if you're going to die, I'll still remember the time we have together."He sat up on the edge of the bed. Suddenly he grabbed his head in both hands and screamed. "Pills," he gasped. "On top of the refrigerator."I stood stock still for a minute and then I went into action. I ran to the sink and turned on the water as I was going to the.
