her mouth, her whole body showing her excitement for Siri’s new man. 
    Siri shrugged, still staring at the now closed door.  “I have no idea.  He was at the table next to ours last night and we looked at each other every time Gary said something stupid but I don’t know his name.  And I couldn’t even guess where he’s from since I couldn’t place his accent.”
    Linda wasn’t excited any longer.  She was actually looking a bit worried now.  “And you’re going out with him?  Is that safe?”
    Siri turned to glare at her roommate , astonished that she was asking that question now after Linda had just accepted the date despite Siri’s rejection .  “ Not really,” she said with emphasis , raising an eyebrow .  “But did I have a choice?  Not really!”
    Linda laughed and flopped back down on the sofa , her worry dissipating just as easily as it had appeared .  “Well, it’s about time you got out and explored a little.  Have a bit of adventure tomorrow night with your mystery guy.  He looks yummy, so enjoy it!”
    “I might enjoy it more if I knew his name.”
    At that moment, her cell phone rang and she looked down at the tiny screen.  It was an unknown number, but something told her to answer the call anyway.  “Hello?” she answered warily.
    “I think I forgot to tell you my name,” a deep voice said over the phone.
    “Yes , we were just mentioning that,” she replied, glancing at Linda who was watching her eagerly.
    “I’m Malik,” he explained.  “And I’m very glad to meet you, Siri.”
    She hesitated to ask, actually afraid of the answer but knowing she had to find out anyway.  “How did you find out who I am?”
    “I have a few resources.”
    “And how do you know where I live?”
    “Same resources.  I promise I’m not a stalker.  Just consider me a man interested in getting to know a beautiful woman.  I’ll see you tomorrow night.”
    Siri glanced at her phone, then at Linda.  “His name is Malik and he has ‘resources’,” she explained to her curious roommate.
    “He has a lot more than resources,” Linda replied with a grin before once more diving back into her books.
    Siri tried as well to refocus on her art history but after that phone conversation, she had trouble concentrating.  Her mind kept drifting back to the moment when Malik had walked into her apartment, how large he was and trying to figure out what kinds of ‘resources’ he could bring forth that would provide him with a stranger’s name and address so quickly. 
    She considered calling him back and canceling since anyone with resources like that might use them for good or bad.  She wasn’t someone who could fight anyone that powerful or wealthy.  B ut in the end, she didn’t make the call and her worry changed from trying to figure out who he was to what she was going to wear on a date with someone so sophisticated.  Besides, she was also curious and rejecting the dinner date wouldn’t give her the answers she now craved as to his identity . 
    The following night, she dressed in a pretty sundress with bright yellow flowers all over the skirt and a yellow cardigan.  Spring was on the way and she felt daring, but also wanted to be a little conservative.  The man was definitely too confident, she thought and this dress screamed out “interested” but “not jumping into bed with you” .
    When the doorbell rang, her fingers were shaking and she glanced back to Linda who was sitting o the ratty old sofa with her friends eating a pizza before they all settled down for a long night of studying.  At least that’s what they said they were doing.  Siri suspected that they were all anticipating getting a good look at the guy who was taking Siri out for dinner. 
    As she opened the door, she glanced at her friends, all of whom were actually leaning forward, pizza forgotten, in order to get a better look at the man who was picking her up.  With a bright smile, she opened the door, then
