"That's a lot of fuckin' time you wasted... it better be worth it"

The moon was big, and brighter than ever. Silence, except for the cool gentle breeze blowing. The cloudless blue-black night sky was beautifully decorated with shiny stars, just like dazzling diamonds on a black silk dress. It was peaceful, even crickets and frogs were doing nothing but quietly appreciating the beauty of the night.

His windows were open, and all the freshness along with the raw natural beauty and calming peace of the night was coming into his room.

He couldn't sleep. There was beauty in his mind, yes. And he knew that because every time he closed his eyes, he saw something of hers: Her lips, her pierced tongue, her short black hair. Yes, she was a beauty, but peace, was something she wasn't bringing Ameeyn. He turned over and closed his eyes; her pretty face, her eyes, so beautiful...

It had been two months since the guys of A1-1 split. Udy moved away with his wife, Kay-Z's business was blooming, so he moved to a greener pasture, which left Ameeyn no choice but to move too. He now lives at "Tha house at 410" with two other guys, Abba & Ustaz, each a character on his own.

"... come on Jeez I need you here. Talk to me. Tell me what to do", Ameeyn said over the phone. He was talking to Jeez, someone he considered an older version of himself, thus seeks out the answers to all life's questions from her.

"Just be yourself"

Really? That is all you have to say? Just be yourself? I'm being myself by calling you... duh!

"Please... I'm turning into a mess here", he said in a low pitiful voice.

"OK... First line of action, get busy."

Busy?

"U huh?", He was listening.

"Don't appear desperate and look like you have options even if you don't"

I love it when she gets all psychological.

"Wow Jeez... You're amazing! I love you", he sounded happy.

"Hahaha... Good Luck"

It had been four days since Ameeyn's call to Jeez, and he had been very busy, or at least he believed he was. He was on his way home, when he saw her from afar, Ms. Sexy eyes-Pierced tongue, and she was looking prettier than ever. It was at that time that a switch flipped in his head, and for the first time he saw clearly that no amount of busyness was going to take his mind off her.

When he reached home, he sat down and thought thoroughly. He had an idea.
This idea is pretty good.
"Don't appear desperate and look like you have options even if you don't", he remembered Jeez's words of wisdom.
No, its perfect!

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey Sam", he said in his sweetest voice.

"Ameeyn... hmm mmm... to what do I owe this?", said a female voice on the other end.

"Just a friendly call Sam... friendly... or aren't we friends anymore?"

"We haven't talked in over a month Ameeyn, sometimes I find it hard to believe that we actually go to the same school and live less than a mile away. So you tell me... are we still friends?"

He felt bad. Sam had always been nice to him. She was sweet and caring... and she was beautiful, which was why he chose her for his master plan.

"Ofcuz sweetie... We cool! Totally. It's just school stuff... you know how it is"

She wasn't fooled, and he knew it.

"What do you want Ameeyn?"

He felt like a jerk, ditching a good friend and then running right back to her at this desperate time. Maybe he shouldn't even ask. He closed his eyes; her sexy eyes, her pierced tongue, so beautiful...

Fuck it!

"Would like you to go somewhere with me", he said in his smoothest voice.

"Like a date?"

"No... Not really... Kinda... but not exactly"

"Are you trying to hook me up with another of your guy friends?"

"Oh no... You know I was young then. I'm more open now and I respect your decision. In fact I'm surprised you're bringing this up ."

"I'm sorry... But what is it you want Ameeyn? You know you can tell me anything"

Should tell her... Should tell her not... Should tell her... Should tell her not... Tell her...

"OK... You might think I'm using you as a bait... but look at it as you doing me a really huge favor..."

"No biggie... when and where?"

"Tomorrow at noon... Starbucks"

"So who is she?"

"You'll see... and can you wear that super sexy red dress you got?"

"It's mid-day at Starbucks Ameeyn, what do you want me to look like, a fuckin' attention whore?"

"OK, just put on your sexiest mid-day-at-Starbucks-appropriate dress"

"Like I'll wear anything less..."

*****

When Ameeyn and Sam walked into Starbucks the next day at noon, time froze, or it seemed like it, because every single soul in the coffee shop stopped dead looking at them. Mostly at Sam. She was dressed to kill, and it wont be surprising if she actually killed a couple of relationships that day.

They found a table at the corner and sat. Ameeyn was feeling the greatness in the air. Even their coffee was free.

"I thought guys only buy girls drinks in bars and clubs", he asked, after taking a sip from his cold Frappuccino.

"That depends on the girl", she said with a smile. She knew she was hot.

Roughly five minutes later she walked in, Ms. Sexy eyes-Pierced tongue, and headed for the counter. He tried to make eye contact. Failed. He waved. She saw him.

She came and sat at their table after her order. Ameeyn was happier than ever. He introduced Ms. Sexy eyes-Pierced tongue to Sam...

"... and this is my very close friend Sam"

"That guy is a PIMP!", the guys that bought the coffees thought, and then felt really stupid for buying the coffees after the sad realization.

The moment couldn't have gone any better for Ameeyn. He was enjoying every second of it.

I stalked Ms. Sexy eyes-Pierced tongue perfectly. I did my research and found out which Starbucks she goes to on Thursdays. I've found the most beautiful girl hanging out with me to make me look not desperate and like I have options. Oh I love Jeez! In fact I gotta call her.

"Excuse me ladies, I gotta go make a call"

They both smiled. It seemed everyone was having a good time.

Once outside, he dialed Jeez and told her his genius plan, how it was working, and how it was all thanks to her.

"That's a lot of fuckin' time you wasted... it better be worth it", she told him, not sharing his Enthusiasm.

He walked back in. The girls looked at him at the same time.

"You know when you said I should wear the sexiest dress I got, I thought it was one of you silly show off dates... but this?", said Sam. She was really enjoying herself.

"Yea... I told you it wont be that bad"

"That bad? Are you kidding me? This the best fucking blind date I've ever been on"

What tha fuck? Blind date?

"Blind date?"

"Yea, and how did you figure out I was gay? I'm sure I never told you?", asked Ms. Sexy eyes-Pierced tongue.

What tha fuck? Gay?

"Gay?"

"Really Ameeyn I thought you were just a selfish prick who likes using his hot friends to get dates. I'm sorry... really... Thank you", said Sam, and she gave him a hug.

Fuck!

"You're welcome", he forced a smile. " Anyways ladies I gotta go now... you guys should take your time"

He walked out with mixed emotions. He felt really sad and betrayed, but also glad for doing an act of kindness, even if it wasn't intentional, like the little boy who found out Santa did not exist but still found his present neatly placed at d foot of the Christmas tree in the morning regardless.
