“Hide me” I said as I rushed behind the curtains where Drake stood “Fast, somewhere, anywhere”

He stared at me showing me that he had absolutely no idea of what I was referringto and then asked “From whom?”

“That girl there, the one with the black dress with straight black and long hair”

“Oh, she’s hot”

“So hot that she can burn me out, is there any place in your house where she wouldn’t find me, or else I, my friend am tomorrows dinner at the Chinese restaurant we went yesterday”

He laughed though I actually meant it and asked for some explanation.

Let’s go 2 days back to know what actually happened…going back in time now close your eyes XD…

March 25, 2013

“She’s my girlfriend, so if you will excuse me” I said Mason as he stared at me with furious eyes. I knew ‘that girl’ was his girlfriend and I also knew that I had no idea of who she was except that fact but who cares. I was taking revenge and when a man is taking revenge he sees nothing but only how to take revenge…even I don’t get it but it works in this situation so anyways…

“YOU’RE GIRLFRIEND?” he asked again not believing me and stressing a lot on ‘you’re’…

“I think I just said it but if you insist to hear it again then…She is MY Girlfriend, actually no, my to be wife. Didn’t she tell you we are getting married like a week later” I replied mimicking him.

Without uttering a word he gave me a look saying ‘back of’ and headed towards whom he named as Sophia. As he asked her a question she turned and looked towards me. ‘I better run’ I thought and fled from there. Well I heard they broke up after that and I was all to blame. Revenge is sweet…After all he had done the same thing with me when I was 10; Mason has been a bug in my life ever since I met him. He took my importance and everything I had, leaving me a total drunkard.

Coming back to the current scenario…

“Well I just turned out to make her boyfriend break up with her” He kept staring at me demanding for more information so I finally said not wanting to think about it all again “He was Mason, you know my rivalry towards him. Since childhood…” I started to tell him the story I usually speak about to him but he stopped it. “I heard that enough times now, come on-the gambling area is where you will be safe…I am sure she won’t come there as she looks rather decent to me” Drake said examining her carefully while she was busy talking to her friends holding a glass of champagne.

She was slim and had a perfect body cut…not that I noticed her a lot; it was just what I figured out looking at her a few times now actually make it two. Her eyes were big and always had a shine in them while her lips were thick but medium sized. Weird that I noticed it but as a man I can’t resist hot girls, at least one look is necessary.

I kept staring at her not realizing that Drake already started walking towards the gambling area when she turned. Opps, busted.

She saw me once and then again and tried to figure out whom I looked like “You” she shouted after a minute of eye to eye contact.

I ran, tripping and pushing crowd aside heading to anywhere but not here. I managed to go inside the huge black door Drake’s house had inside. The Gambling section…fewh that was close.

I walked past a few tables near which many people stood and watched the games going on when finally I decided to play myself. I sat on the table right in front of Josh, another one of my friend and challenged him for a game, poker.

We played like for half an hour when finally I saw my cards, pair of kings, jackpot. “All in” I said looking at him and using my tension trick.

“Follow” he replied and placed his cards, there was one ace in it…he was thunder struck when I showed mine. Could this day get any better, I just won 90 thousand dollars on it, woh man.

“Excuse me” A soft voice came from behind me, as me and the people on my side celebrated my victory. I looked back and now I was the one thunder struck. Sophia, She stood there smiling at me. I stood up fast saying “Before you hit me” I said to her and picked up a jar when she stopped me saying “I just want to talk to you for 5 mins, I won’t hit you”

I couldn’t decline her; she was just so dazzling that I had wanted to talk to her. We went out of the gambling area as it was too noisy and went near the gate, ‘just in case I had to run’ I thought, you really can't predict a woman so it's better to take precautions…

I thought she was going to yell at me but instead she smiled at me and said “Thank you”

“What?”

“Do you have hearing problem” she asked sheepishly

“No, of course not but what did you say again?”

“I said thank you, for making him break up with me, he was such a pain…and I was trying to look for some way to do it without hurting him but couldn’t find any so you made it easier for me.”

I stared at her in astonishment “What? he forgot my birthday and our monthly anniversary plus after I told him he still didn’t wish and said ‘oh okay’, I certainly can’t be with such a preposterous man”

I stared at her with my bulging eyes, Women.

“So you won’t beat me to death”

“No, of course not”

“Ahaa! Ibettergetgoingbeforeyouchange your mind” I said as fast as I could and I started to go from there

“Wait” she said and I stopped and looked back “It wasn’t really gentleman type to make me break up so you should give compensation, mind buying me a coffee?”

Okay where is this going?, she first said thanks and now she wants me to buy coffee, how can a girl who just broke up want to make another boyfriend so fast “not really” I replied as she was one hot girl and man I totally wanted to go out with her.

“Cool then meet me in half an hour in the café near the plaza there” She said and as she turned away to go she continued “I will be waiting” and left me there standing in shock. This day just got better

Hello Umaima,

“Hide me” I said as I rushed behind the curtains where Drake stood “Fast, somewhere, anywhere”


According to my knowledge, the Narrator is already behind the curtains. Then why is he signally Drake to hide him somewhere?

He stared at me showing me that he had absolutely no idea of what I was referringto and then asked “From whom?”


This is a bit oddly worded. I feel you can simplify it. For example: "From whom?" asked Drake. He had no idea what I was referring to.
[ just my suggestion.]

“That girl there, the one with the black dress with straight black and long hair”


Same dilemma here. The dialogue is okay up to "...black dress", but when you start adding in other descriptions, that's when it gets wordy. I suggest, you put in the extra descriptions of this "Hot" girl in the actual narration and not in someone's dialogues. That way, it'll be neat and would flow quite nicely.

“So hot that she can burn me out, is there any place in your house where she wouldn’t find me, or else I, my friend am tomorrows dinner at the Chinese restaurant we went yesterday”


I'm really confused. What is the narrator saying?

“She’s my girlfriend, so if you will excuse me” I said told Mason as he stared at me with furious eyes. I knew ‘that girl’ was his girlfriend and I also knew that I had no idea of who she was except that, fact but who cares. I was taking revenge and when a man is taking revenge he sees nothing but only how to take revenge…even I don’t get it, but it works in this situation so anyways…


Okay, from the sentence, we decipher that the girl is the Narrator's girlfriend. Then in the next line he says, "That girl" is Mason's girlfriend. The reader understands that the Narrator is having a go at Mason by declaring that Mason's girlfriend is his, actually.
I ail to find any humor or logic in it. Because the question as of now is, Why is the narrator acting like this.

Without uttering a word he gave me a look saying ‘back of’ 'back off' and headed towards whom he named as Sophia.


the "whom he named as" is not necessary. In fact it creates confusion.

She was slim and had a perfect body cut…not that I noticed her a lot; it was just what I figured out looking at her a few times now actually make it two.


You seem to use a lot of unnecessary words. I suggest you go over the whole thing and omit the words that aren't necessary. That way, it'll have clarity and it will also be easy to read.

I'll not quote anymore. The thing is, you can write really good and the story seem interesting also, but you have to take into account a few things. first,declutter the story. Second, The story is good, but isn't believable. Meaning, it reads unrealistically. Try to make it more believable. You can start by nailing the dialogues. try to write realistic dialogues. Notice how really people talk. How you talk in real life. Then, you can imitate that here.
But these are just my suggestions. You have a good start, you just have to work a little on it.

Keep writing,
Puck

Okay...this is a pretty confusing piece. I don't actually know what's happening, just that there seem to be a guy and another guy and a girl that appears to be hot and they want her? This is incredibly confusing. It reads horribly; you need to get your structure together. Maybe try and mould your work into the traditional beginning, middle and ending type and go from there? Because right now, it just seems like you've thought of multiple situations and thrown them together.

Also, your grammar really needs work on. I spotted quite a lot, too many to list here. You should probably take a look at that.

Kasim.

Okay. Will do that

By the way I think you should read it properly because if I am not mistaken its just not about 2 guys and a girl...




pain is that feeling when you are feeling hurt, but it never goes away leaving me hurt. oh it hurts.
