speak with Miss Khloe please?” he asked.
“Is this Samir ?”
“Yea , it is. Is she still there?”
“Oh My God , heeeeey Samir, yes, she’s here. Hold on one second,” Shay laughed, “It’s your maaaan, bitch,” she handed Khloe the phone.
“Girl , stop being silly, he’s not my man, we just met. Hey, Samir,” Khloe said simultaneously to the both of them.
“ So, I’m not your man now? Damn, I need to step my game up,” Samir teased.
“I mean , we just met, I didn’t think about it. Where are you?”
“Well , I am your man from here on out if that’s what it takes to stop somebody from stealing your heart from me. And I’m outside, you ready?
“Yes , I’m ready. Give me one second, I’m coming out,” She said as she smiled harder than she ever smiled. She quickly hung up the phone and grabbed her stuff.
“Girl , what are you so happy about?” Shay asked.
“Samir is outside , and he just told me he was my man,” she laughed.
“Whoop , Whoop! Well, don’t keep your man waiting,” Shay joked.
Khloe tried to keep her composure when she walked outside and saw him standing against his car , looking good. He was dressed in Coogi Australia from top to bottom. She ran and jumped in his arms as if she was a little girl jumping into the arms of Santa Claus. She kissed him passionately because the truth was, she really missed him, and couldn’t stop thinking of him since the day she first met him.
“Damn, what was that for ?” he smiled.
“I just miss you , and I’m happy to see you, that’s all.”
“Well , I miss you too, Miss Khlo,” He said as he helped her into his car.
For the first time in a long time Samir was at peace; Khloe brought out a side of him that he didn’t know he possessed. All the cares of the world melted away when he was near her. He felt himself staring at her as he drove. Without thinking, he grabbed her hand and kissed it gently as they sat at a red light on 115 th and Halstead. She looked at him and smiled. She knew at that very moment that her otherwise miserable young life would change now that Samir was a part of it.
“ I’m glad you came, Samir,” she broke their silence.
“I told you I would be here. You never have to worry about me not coming. I wouldn’t miss an opportunity to be next to you for nothing in the world.”
“Where are we going anyways?”
“Where ever you want to go. But first , I thought we go to River Oaks mall and get you a two-way, so you don’t have an excuse not to call me.”
“Can we get clothes too?” she asked, giving him her best puppy dog face.
He laughed out loud at her attempt to play on his emotions , “We can buy the entire mall if you want to, as long as I don’t have to see that pitiful face you got on right now.”
They headed toward Samir’s favorite suburban mall. He stopped at the Sprint Store to get her a Nextel phone and a Motorola two-way, and then he followed her into every store she liked. He watched in awe as she looked through the racks of Man Alive and picked out her clothes. Every once in a while she would ask him if she could have different things, and each time he told her she could have whatever she wanted if it made her happy.
During their first shopping spree Samir spent close to $8000 on everything ; from Pelle Pelle, Coogi, Guess, Airforce Ones and Jordans. He made sure she got everything her heart desired without thinking twice. As they were about to leave, Samir made one more stop. He walked into Zales and dropped another $3500 on a diamond heart necklace that was just as beautiful as he thought Khloe was. It sparkled the way her smiled sparkled to him.
“Did you get your pretzel Miss Lady?” he asked as she approached him, coming out of the jewelry store.
“Yes , I did, sir. But I’m hungry, can we go to Bennigans, I saw one across the street?”
“Of Cours e we can. I got something else for you too,” he told her as they were seated inside the restaurant. He
