POV Yasmin.
We are at the beginning of May. Total run in college, internship, Spanish course. I attended a few days ago to a swimming championship organized by the academy. I was second. Not bad. I miss my father and only see you in July, the university holidays and stage. Rog has said that will do two festivals commemorating the anniversary of twenty-one years one in Truro and one here in London.
Soon Rog and I will officially come of age.
Rog, Freddie and Bri have done some testing with bassists. They are looking for a talented bass player for the Queen. But they have not yet found. I believe that soon they will find, meanwhile Tim occasionally rehearse with them, playing the bass because Freddie are composing many songs for the band. My friend as well as an excellent singer and pianist, is proving to be a great composer. Bri has also composing some songs, so that twice a week at least they have tested with the help of Tim, until they found an official bassist.
This weekend will be different. They do not ensaiarão because Rog had already forewarned them that this weekend will be dedicated to only me. You believe? Has a strong reason for this: Rog and I are celebrating ten years of friendship. A beautiful and strong childhood friendship. To this day I remember when I met with Roger ten years old, that beautiful boy blue eyes and hair the color of sun participating in the choir of Truro Cathedral and then being my classmate at Truro School. Since then we not separated more. Of course sometimes stupid fights, but all friendship at some point goes through it. But the love that Rog and I feel is stronger than anything. Our friendship is eternal, so I hope.
Today is Friday. After a tiring day at college and on stage finally get to the apartment. It's almost seven. I take a quick shower. Place a flowered dress. I love flowery dresses put a sneaker. I make a light makeup. Layla help me. She took the dryer and drying the black threads of my hair. Then put curlers in my hair holding well with staples and said:
- In an hour and a half we will take the bobs her hair, my dear. - Smiled my friend. - Meanwhile I will nail your hands.
Layla had a complete kit for manicure and pedicure. It takes away the cuticles of my hand, sandpaper my nails and then passes a baby pink enamel.
- If Freddie was here to insist you go black enamel on the nail. - Smiled my friend.
- That I will not follow the follies of our friend Freddie. - I smile.
The enamel on my nail was perfect. After a long time Layla takes the bobs of my hair. The wires are much more curly. The way I wanted. Instead of putting my flower headband Layla took a small butterfly-shaped loops and put in my hair.
- Yasmin, you look beautiful. - she smiled. - A truly princess. It's amazing, you soon will twenty-one years, but has a face of a fifteen year old. You are very beautiful.
- You who are beautiful my friend. - I smiled at Layla. - Thanks for the help. Rog is coming soon. - said eagerly.
- What fancy huh. Dine out today at the Italian restaurant so much that you wanted to go. The restaurant is a fortune.
- I know Layla until told Rog go to a simpler place, but you know what he did? For a while he is collecting money that wins stage to take me to this restaurant. He will pay my dinner today. Friend who does this to a friend?
- Rog is different, Yasmin. It is a very special friend, especially for you. It's ten years of friendship with you. You are everything to him. Takes the night.
- It's tomorrow? It is my great courage participate in a car race with Roger. I was crazy to accept, Layla. Now it's gone. He wants adventure and go with it. - I smile.
Shortly after Roger arrived. He greeted Lyla. Then she hugged me and said he was impressed:
- You look beautiful, Yasmine. - He smiled. - A truly princess.
- Layla helped me in hairstyle. - I smile. - You are too beautiful, Rog.
He really was.
Roger wore a black jeans, shoes, black shirt. His blue eyes were brighter and his wavy hair my God. Roger would kill any girl with her beauty and smile.
- Have fun ones. - Layla smiled kissing the face of Roger and mine.
- Thank you for Layla help. - I smile.
- Friends are for it. Good evening. - She said going toward his room.
- Good evening Layla. - Roger smiled.
- Good night friend. - I smile.
- Let's Yasmine? Are nine o'clock now. I left the reservation for the nine-thirty.
- Come on.
We left the apartment and got into his car. At half past nine on we come to the restaurant. The waiter took us to our table on the second floor. The restaurant is huge. A very expensive decoration. It is simply charming.
We sat us and the waiter asked what we wanted to drink. Roger said to bring a bottle of dry red wine, while we choose to eat.
- Rog, you take your iron pills today?
- I took my dear, I'm taking care of myself. - He smiled. - Long time do not take anything alcoholic since leaving the hospital, but today I will open an exception. I promise not to get drunk.
- And not to get drunk. - I smile. - You have to take me back later and tomorrow morning is your race car, do not forget. I can give?
- Not Yasmine, you will accompany me in the race. Will not win any prize but I want to test my driver skills on a race track.
- Call one of the guys to be with you in the car.
- And I do not want you with me. Wow, you promised. It will be an adventure. You will love.
- Okay God protect us..
He kissed my hand smiling.
The waiter brought the wine filling our glasses.
- They choose what will ask for dinner? - He asked.
- I want penne pasta in white sauce with cod pieces. - I said.
- I want lasagna four cheeses with a steak parmigiana. - Roger asked.
- Ok Soon their orders will be here..
- Rog I brought money. I will help you to foot the bill.
- Not Yasmine. Today's on me.
- It's not right, Roger. - Said pouting.
- Course is. - He smiled at me. - If I could do more things for you, but one day I will make all your wishes, Yasmine.
- Rog stop it. I said you do not. Their friendship is enough.
- I'll give you everything you deserve Yasmine. - smiled winking at me.
Soon our dinner arrived. We ate and talked about our week, the band, college. We take wine. We laughed at the insane jokes that Roger had. He remembered as a child that his grandfather had porn jokes for him. Why since childhood Roger was always naughty. My friend takes no way. Roger took his machine to take pictures. Like today had no Vick to take our photos, he asked the waiter to take some.
The time passed quickly and left the half past midnight restaurant. He took me back to the apartment in fifteen minutes at an incredible speed.
He stopped the car in front of the building and said:
- At eight in the morning come get her. Be awake.
He kissed my cheek close to my lips.
- Thank you for the wonderful evening, my friend. - I smile fondly. - I love you.
- Love you too. - He smiled. - Good evening. And do not be late.
- Good evening, Rog. - I smile out of the car.
Roger came out with the car like a rocket. I entered the building.
I removed my makeup and went to sleep.
At seven in the morning my alarm clock awakened. I got up, made my oral hygiene and prepared breakfast for the girls and me. I took a coffee, changed clothes and left a note saying he'd be back later in the evening. In the evening we will all to a pub.
The phone rang:
- Good morning Rog. - She said smiling.
- Morning pretty. - He smiled. - You ready?
- Yes, I'm ready. - I smile.
- Ok, I'll be there in ten minutes. If you wait for me outside the building. - He smiled.
- Roger comes calmly, without haste. - Rolled my eyes.
- In ten minutes I'm there. - He smiled again. - Kisses.
At that moment the weather is cool, I hope you see the sun and is a nice day. We are already in the spring and gradually the temperature rises ...
I went down and waited for Roger. Then he parked the car in front of the building.
I got in the car kissing her cheek.
- Good morning angel.
- Morning pretty. - He smiled and headed toward the racetrack across the city.
I'm crazy to go with him for this adventure, but what I do to my best friend?
In the race track of the location of the instructors explained to Roger the path he would do with the Mini Cooper. I was nervous. Roger would have thirty minutes to run all over the track. Half an hour in the car? Already died.
The instructor delivers two helmets for us and other safety equipment. Quickly put.
- Your girlfriend is brave to come with you. - smiled the instructor.
- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm the best friend of Roger. - I smile. - I came to follow the crazy my friend. I hope to leave here alive.
We got in the car. The instructor gave Roger permission to start walking to the car on the track. At first Rog I was driving slowly, calm. Suddenly began to accelerate much, shifting gears quickly and gave a rocking horse with the car.
I screamed in fear while pouring all the adrenaline. This is too good.
He continued to accelerate all the way. I screamed for him to stop. Then he sped more. I thought for a moment that he would lose control of the car.
At the end of the race the instructor was up to us and took the safety equipment. He was white as a paper and Rog hugged me fondly.
- Thank you for coming with me kitten. - he smiled giving me a bear hug.
- Are you crazy altogether, Roger. And I also loved after all this madness. - I smile.
We had lunch outside. I was too enjoying my weekend with Rog.
On Saturday night we went to the pub with our friends.
On Sunday afternoon Rog and I went to the movies to watch a comedy movie. At the end of the film we left the cinema. It was around seven-thirty and Roger and I were going toward the parking lot across the avenue when a man with white shoes, white pants and white shirt stopped in front of us. He had a look of a man in his thirties. He had short straight black hair and green eyes and told us:
- Why do you insist on wanting to change the destiny?
- What do you mean sir? I did not understand. - I asked.
- You still do not understand many things. - Smiled the man. - But over time will come the signs.
- Yasmine let's go. - I said Roger pulling me but the man stopped him saying:
- Boy, you are too young, have many years of life and make the most of your whole life. Your future is very promising. Fight for your dreams. You will arrive at the top of the mountain. But never stop being this human being so nice and supportive.
Roger looked amazed at the man.
- And you young lady will be a great journalist, it is well known in other sectors as well. Conduct its most beautiful dreams. And he has many years of life as well.
I got scared. This man knew that want to be a journalist? Never seen him in my life.
- I see a lot of happiness between the two and also sorrow. - Said the man. - On a not so distant future you will lose someone very special in the lives of two and has nothing to do with their families. I also see two beautiful children in the way of you.
- Please sir, you're scaring me. - has said.
- Not for scare. - He smiled passing tranquility. - Be careful, many will cross their paths and try to destroy them but hear the voice of their hearts.
- Please have heard it all too. - Said Roger.
- Why do you insist on wanting to change the destiny? - He said the mysterious man smiling again.
- Come on Yasmine. - Roger hugged me and went towards the other side of the avenue.
Man to finalize spoke up to us to listen:
- The will of God no one changes. As much as you try to want to change the destination, the end will be written as it is already set.
I looked back and saw the man walking in the opposite direction. Roger looked startled and turned to look back. The man had disappeared mysteriously.
Roger and I got in the car and he broke the silence by saying:
- Yasmine I've never seen that man in my life and the things he told our respect ... Very weird.
- Rog this mysterious man known so I want to be a journalist. - I was scared yet.
- And that destination, you lose someone? - Rog said scared like me.
- My angel let's forget it. - He said kissing her cheek. - Roger with faith in God we will have a promising future and only good things will happen in our lives my friend.
- So is my beautiful. - He kissed my hand.
He started the car and left the parking lot.
Half an hour later he left me in front of the building.
- Thanks for the perfect weekend getaway. - Roger smiles hugging him fondly. - Happy 10 years of friendship.
- Happy 10 years of friendship, my pretty. - He kissed my forehead. - That these 10 years becomes 30,50,100 years. - He smiled beautifully.
- Our friendship will be everlasting. - The stronger hugged and kissed his cheek fondly. - Good night, great week in college stage, good rehearsals with the band and takes care of their food and take your pill iron. Next Saturday will go to the doctor and the doctor Victor will do further tests to see how your health.
- I promise I'll take care of me and take these pills boring. - He smiled. - When I come to call you. During the week we spoke by phone as well. Until Saturday. Good night beauty.
He kissed me again on the forehead and I got out of his car. And I waved entering the building. Roger took off with the car leaving.
Twenty minutes later Rog called and said he had already arrived. Now I was quiet. I took a shower, I took an iced tea with toast and then I fix my week's material for college.
By ten-thirty at night I gave goodnight to Vick and Layla and went to sleep thinking about the mystery man. After all who is this man?
P.S: And in the opinion of you who the mystery man?
And the strange things you said?
