~Between our hearts and our desires ~

Khadija:

It's a early Saturday morning and I'm doing my regular rounds at the grocery store. I check my list of what I still need
"Pads, chips, chocolates and a few doughnuts." I swear us girls never have it easy. This time of the month we get pains, cravings, pimples and self-doubt creeps in. As I'm walking with my cart I accidentally bump into another cart.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you there."

"Clearly you didn't see me otherwise you wouldn't have bumped into me. Maybe you should stop talking to yourself and watch where you're going next time."

Well that was rude. Was I talking to myself? He looked familiar but I can't seem to remember where I saw him and he walked away too fast to still try and place his face.

As I'm about to check-out I see him two ailes away from me. Look at him. Stupid face, sexy but stupid body, stupid hair. Agh he's just stupid in general. As soon as I'm done paying I walk out of the store, load the groceries in the back of the car and get in. I scroll through my messages and finally decide to back out of the parking lot. As I'm backing out, all I hear is a honk and my car hits another car. As if my day couldn't get any worse.

I get out the car and walk towards the back. "Could you not see where you were going?" And to my luck it's the same sexy idiot from the store.

"Where I was going? Sorry, but you were the one that bumped into me."

"I'm pretty sure I know who bumped into who here...and I can guarantee you that it wasn't me."

"First you bump into my cart then you bump into my car what a coincidence."
I stare at him for a few moments and I finally remember where I saw him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Weren't you the guy that was staring at me at the stop lights?" He looks kinda confused until a look of realisation dawns on him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He walks to the front of his car and opens the driver seat.

"No no no I clearly remember you staring at me a few days ago...and I wouldn't be surprised if you were doing that a few minutes ago as well, which is probably the reason for all of this."

"That doesn't even make any sense lady and don't try to change the topic. You're clearly a horrible driver and you have horrible eyesight, you should see a doctor." I'm left speechless on the spot.

First I'm checked out by him like a weirdo and then I'm insulted by him too. The nerve of this idiot. What a joke. I see him getting in the driver seat of his car.

"I hope you know you're paying for all of this." I point towards both of our damaged cars.

"If anybody should be paying anything... it should be you. I just gave you some good advice, so use it. Goodbye." And he starts the car and speeds off.
Frickin. Asshole.

Hakeem:

"Can you believe her Cameron? After she bumps into my cart in the store, and then my car, she has the nerve to tell me to pay for the damages."

"What did you do to her?" He asks with a hint of mischief in his voice. I'm actually offended that my best friend thinks I'm constantly the reason bad things happen me.

"I didn't do anything, she was in the wrong this time Cam. I SWEAR."

"Firstly we all know you swear. Secondly you can't blame me for thinking that, you have a history with pissing girls off and attracting the crazy ones too. Remember Mishka?"

Okay I can't lie... I do have a history with girls but its only because they wanted something serious and I wanted to have a good time, I make that very clear from the get go. So maybe he's right, but I wont admit that. My mind slowly wonders back to Mishka. A sweet girl gone crazy.

"That doesn't mean that I'm always in the wrong though. And don't bring her up. I'm still traumatized till this day." Why did I even choose to bring up this stupid topic that never brings up any good memories. A little something happend between the two of us and the girl has been stalking me ever since. I wouldn't be surprised if she's watching me right now. I look at all the mirror's in my car just to make sure.

"Whatever bro. Tell me you have the stuff ready for tonight?" That's why Cam is like a brother to me he knows when to talk and when to let shit go.

"Yep we're all set. This party is long overdue."
