Smooth-talker


I was shopping at Bershka a few weeks ago and as I approached the till a pop-star look-alike served me. He complimented my glasses and I thanked him with a smile. I asked him who remixed the CD playing at the shop because I'd like a special copy made for me. He said he sold them, 100dhs a copy. I left my contact name and number.

4 weeks onwards I heard from him. He said my CD was ready, so I offered to pick it up at a local shopping area. He came over as I was waiting for him, sipping my fruity drink, stayed for 5 minutes only.

Within these 5 minutes, he commented on: how smart I appeared, how I appeared too good for anyone else, how slim I am, how good I looked, and in the middle of all that, he asked me to help him find a job. Then he asked if he could take me to the piscine??

A few years ago, I might have been naive enough and giggled, perhaps even fallen for such talk. The whole time I was smiling, you know why? Simply because now I know better.

Till we meet again,
Sedeso
