Zaya dismissed the conversation with Kareem from her mind. She decided to treat herself to a movie before heading home, but had no specific film or theatre in mind. After entering the closest theatre to her house, she bought a ticket for a film that caught her eye, along with a bucket of popcorn and a cup of Pepsi.
She settled into her seat just as the lights dimmed and previews started. She took a sip of her drink when she heard a voice beside her.
"Hello, Zaya Mars. Nice to meet you again."
Zaya recognized the voice instantly. Seductive and alluring, it was one she couldn't forget, especially since the thoughts it evoked were ones a married woman shouldn't have.
"Kareem?" she said, turning to face him.
In the dim light, Zaya could see that Kareem looked as handsome as ever, his smile both charming and mischievous.
"What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" Zaya asked, a hint of nervousness creeping into her voice.
