🎶Playlist; My Destiny by Lyn

Firash's POV

I handed the pack of cigarettes to Zidan. He lit and blew the smoke into the air and I watched him with no emotions on my face.

Living in a place like Turkey where 98% of the people smoke was very hard. I only smoke shisha (hookah) with my dad, that's all. If I smoke cigarettes, I'd die. My mum would kill me. One time, my friends came over to my room and we played games, Truth or dare. I was asked to smoke a cigarette. I did and that was a horrible day for me. I finished a pack and my mum saw it in the trash bin the next day. She gave me the real taste of an African mother and I swore never to do it again.
A thoracic surgeon as a mother wasn't an easy deal.

"Işte(here)" Alim passed the hookah to me.

"Thank you." I collected it.

The thought of the strange girl I met earlier today swirled into my mind again. So beautiful, stubborn, and dramatic. She was gossiping about me to her friends in the car thinking I was a foreigner so I won't understand Turkish.

What the f*ck! She called me an arrogant jerk and I was senseless...

I rubbed my forehead and puffed out shisha smoke with anger and I started coughing.

"Are you okay?" My friends asked.

"That bitch of girl called me a senseless arrogant jerk." I lamented.

"Well, that serves you right. You helped a woman, so what do you expect? Wait till she starts following you around for help."

"Is she mad?" I hissed.

"She is a woman!" Alim said.

"But I want to meet her again. I love the energy she emits. Her stubbornness. Everything. I want to provoke her till she gets mad and shout."

"You're crazy. Don't tell me you've fallen for her already. Oh my godddd." Zidan exclaimed dropping the joystick.

"He doesn't want to work, So what next to do you expect him? Falling in love with a street girl." Alim said.

"Who told you guys I'm in love with her? I just wanna meet her again."

"For what? If I may ask?" Alim raised his eyebrows.

"I need to make sure she collects her coat. I need to pay. I don't want more problems." I lied.

"If you say so, man. Let's all leave together." He picked the car keys.

"I'm coming. I will get something from the kitchen first." I sneaked out of the room slowly. I dialed Mike's number.

"Hey, Firash. I was about to call her, we're done with the coat." He said immediately he picked my call.

"No. Don't call her. Or call her to come in 2hours time. I'll be there now."

"Okay if you say so." He hanged and I smirked devilish. Let's provoke the drama queen.

****
Phewwww. I heaved a long sigh and rested my legs on the table.

Where the hell is this woman?

Is she trying to play African time?? Patience Firash.

"Hello. I'm here to collect my coat. Where is Mike?" A soft voice came in the lobby. It must be her. I adjusted my sweater and closed my eyes.

She walked in and I could feel her eyes in me but i pretended to be asleep. Just then, she grabbed my shoulder and shooked me so hard almost throwing me off the chair.
