You Are Mine: 'A Love Story in 2015', Page 2

Chapter 2

  Elif took her black neck tie bikini and decorated with shiny stones, her wrist tie high-heel shoes. She had saved her pocket money of whole last year to be able to buy this shoe, which is the product of an expensive brand. Because it has been very expensive, she had put on it for once.

  -’Are you ready? Should we go out, sweetie?’ Eylül said looking at Elif and the amazing tone of her voice.

  -’I am coming, just a minute.’ Elif answered. Eylül had turned up the door of her room and she could not wait.

  -’In my opinion, we should go to the photographer’s shop on 39. street.’ Eylül said.

  -’Of course, money does not fit into my pockets, bags. Are you nuts?’ Elif answered.

  -’I am crazy.’ Eylül said grinning.

  -’We should go to the cheaper shop. I do not want to be totally broke at the weekend, but if I am rich some day, I promise that we will certainly go to the shop on 39, street.’ Elif told Eylül.

  -’You are right. I outflew suddenly. Who does knows, how many dollars is a photo shoot?’ Eylül said.

  -’two thousand, three thousand, maybe five thousand… I do not know, but it is beyond us, sweetie.’ Elif said moving towards the door of the room.

  It has been about half an hour since they came out of the dormitory. They realized a small photographer’s shop at the end of the street while they were walking on the 34, street.

  -’This shop seems right. What do you think?’ Eylül asked smiling.

  -’It is like the cheaper shop in New York.’ Elif answered.

  -’Certainly it is. Its display case is very bad. Moreover, it looks terrible.’ Eylül said.

  -’Then, let’s enter immediately.’ Elif said laughingly.

  The owner of the photographer was a man, who was thirty, 175 tall, potbellied, had white-hair, white-skinned, named Michael.

  Elif told the man that she would join the contest and wanted to taken a portrait and a full shot with bikini photos. The man took away Elif changing room at the end of the shop and said to her that he would take her after a shoot. At this time, Eylül had sit down to one of the armchairs in the entrance of the shop and she was leafing through the tabloid magazines.

  Elif closed the door of the changing room. She put on her black bikini and her stony shoes. Should she wait for his call or enter the studio? She opened the door of the changing room and begun to wait. Laugh noises were coming from the studio. She took the lid off and did not believe what she saw. She was shock. She curtained and she was in the changing room. She must have left there.

  -’It is your turn’ the voice of her behind said. She had been afraid of what she saw. She thought that she would have only her photo taken and go out suddenly.

  -’Would you like to drink whisky?’ Michael said and he was making eyes at her body.

  -’I do not use alcohol.’ Elif said, with strained tone of her voice.

  -’I said because you relax, tootsy.’ Michael said.

  -’We have not more time. Please we have it taken immediately.’ Elif said, getting angry.

  -’Okay.’ Michael could only say. He was looking at Elif fell.

  Elif took off her bikini and shoes. She put on her sportswear and sport shoes. She moved out the cabin and walked to the part, which Elif was.

  -’How was it, sweetie?’ Eylül asked, with the cheerful tone of her voice.

  -’It was awful. I will tell you shortly after.’ Elif answered.

  -’Ok, sweetie.’ Eylül said, looking at Elif without understand nothing.

  -’You can take the photos tomorrow.’ Tall, blond and green eyed girl, who stood the entrance said.

  -’Tomorrow is very late. Can we take them within an hour? We are in a rush.’ Eylül said seriously.

  -’Ok, the photos will be ready in an hour.’ The young girl said.

  -’Thanks’ Eylül said.

  -’We buy for cash, 20 dollars.’

  Elif opened her sugar pink stony bag and took out 20 dollars of her wallet.

  -’Here you are.’ Elif said, elongating the money to the young girl repulsively.

  -’Let’s go to the café, which we can drink coffee for an hour’ Elif said, looking around.

  -’Okay, sweetie. You, too, tell me what happened there. I have wondered.’ Eylül said.

  -’Is there any café hereabout?’ Elif asked.

  -’I do not know. We ask someone.’ Eylül answered.

  -’I have not come these parts before.’ Elif said.

  ‘I have not come, too. Let’s ask that pizza shop.’ Eylül said, showing the pizza shop on the across the street by her hand.

  -’Ok’ Elif said.

  The young man, who has worked in the pizza shop, said that there was a café 200 meters from there when they walked down turning left at the end of the street. This was a boy, who was 22-23 aged, fair, green eyed, tall and very handsome.

  -’Is he very sweetie, is not he?’ Eylül said laughingly.

  -’Yes, his name was Bradley.’ Elif answered.

  -’How do you know it? We did not ask his name. She said being surprised.

  -’His name was written on his uniform.’ Elif answered.

  -’You have eyes like a hawk’ Eylül said. They began to laugh looking at each other at that time.

  The Red City Cafe purported a pretty café, which its walls were painted red, it had grisaille with flowers on the corner of the 33, street. When you entered the café, the sea and scenic paintings drew attention immediately. Red color dominated curtains from to the armchairs. The owner of the café was a woman, Maria, who fifth something, 170 tall, full-figured, black-skinned and beautiful faced.

  Eylül and Elif moved through the empty table, which was window edge.

  -’Here is very good place, is not it?’ Elif said.

  -’Yes, very different. That we have discovered here was good. We sometimes come here.’ Eylül said looking at her cannily.

  -’I know these glances. What are you planning?’ Elif asked laughingly.

  -’That boy in the pizza shop is really very handsome. He is not important for me, important for you. You have not flirted with anybody for a long time. Also, here is near the pizza shop. Why not to meet?’

  -’Get along with you! What next! You have written the script instantly. Two seconds later, you say that I have a child.’ She said laughingly.

  -’The university students are in big love with the boy pizzeria.’

  -’You are very bad. It is not funny.’

  -’Okay, ok. I made only a joke.’ Eylül said grinningly.

  At this time, Maria’s daughter, Naomi, who was 18-19 aged, approached to the table?

  Before the girl did not ask any question, Elif said that they wanted to drink 2 coffees with milk, please.

  -’Ok’ the young waiter girl said smilingly.

  -’Tell me what you saw inside?’ Eylül asked.

  -’I put on my bikini in the cabin and moved out it. The laughing voices were coming from inside. Michael was taking the photos of a girl. I wondered and I opened the curtain. There was a whisky glass on the girl’s hand and Michael was touching over her. I closed the curtain at once. I abandoned even having the photo taken. I felt very bad.’ Elif told.

  -’Was she that blond girl?’ Eylül asked.

  -’How did you see her?’ Elif asked.

  -’Before you went out five minutes ago, she had gone out.’ She answered.

  -’I see. Because I entered the studio, she went out putting on.’

  -’Forget it. It is not our business. It is ribaldry of the man.’

  -’It is right, but I was shocked nevertheless. Where there is quirk, it finds me.’

  The young waiter put coffees on the table, and she said ‘bon appetite’ smilingly.

  -’Thanks’ Eylül said looking at the young girl.

  -’When you had been sleeping in the morning, I printed out application form of the competition from the printer of the computer. We must have sent this form together wi
th the photos. I filled all without your length, weight and body sizes. If you want, you can check it, sweetie.’ Eylül said while she was elongating the paper.

  -’Yes, all is right.’ Elif said.

  -’Let’s fill the others immediately. How tall are you?’ Eylül asked.

  -’177’

  -’Your weight?’

  -’54’

  -’Your sizes?’

  -’86-60-88, but if I go hungry much, my waist size becomes 58.’ She said donnishly.

  -’If I had these sizes,..’ Eylül said.

  -’What would you do?’

  -’I would get someone, who I like, into bed. Even the car.

  Elif raised a laugh, and ‘get then. You are not overweight now.’

  -’I am exciting even to think, but we have already waited. In any case, right man will confront us some day.’

  -’we could not get them into bed until this age. In my opinion, we will be virgin, which would have been pickled when we will be 50 years-old. As for me, we should be priestesses. We are the same with them.’ Elis told her.

  -’Yes, we are like randy virgins, but it does not be without marriage.’ Eylül said.

  Elif gazed at the coffee cup suddenly. Marriage conversation had bothered her although it was even a joke. Suddenly ‘I will not marry. All men are the same. You flirt with someone. You make your love clear. He thinks you in his pocket. He puts on airs and the tale ends after awhile. You cry for months. You cut the life’s cables. You need time to recover yourself and to be able to be old you. On the other hand, this is not a five-minute’s time. Maybe, it occupies your two months or two years. You see him everywhere. Even you forget him, even the time passes, you are not old you hereafter. You have a bad experience. You deliberate more against the life. Do you know, Eylül? I have not loved Gökhan. When I look at him, I only relent on him. I am not afraid of him, too. I do not care. Everything is going to be okay, but when? Luckily, I had not lived with anything together with that creep. Otherwise, I would get my hurt.’ She told.

  -’He never finds someone like you. You deserve better of him. I hope, you meet someone as soon as possible and he will make happy you.’ Eylül said looking at her watch. ‘We have sitting here for an hour. Would you like to stand up? After we take the photos, we post them immediately.’

  -’Okay. Let’s stand up. Bill please.’ Elif said, looking at the girl at the cash desk.

  -’Thank you’ Eylül said, smiling to the girl at the cash desk spuriously.

  The photos were good than expected. Michael, who put the photos to the case, which there is the application form inside, carefully, elongated the photos on his hand the blond girl and said to her ‘You will certainly win the competition, tootsy.’ The blond girl gazed at Michael cunningly and smiled.

  Elif and Eylül looked at each other and moved through the door of the shop. At this moment, they were unaware of that Bradley had been following them.

  After Elif and Eylül posted the application form and the photos, they came to the dormitory. After both of them had changed their clothes, they lay their bed. Although they had been out for three hours, they felt tired themselves. After they took a few hours rest, they would go to the school. In fact, they were not aware of that it was 21:00 o’clock.

  Suddenly, the door of the room began to be knocked virulently. Eylül tumbled out of her bed and walk through the door. Elif was still sleeping. You could never awake her even you played drums at her bedside. So, when she slept alone in the room, people came to the room knocked the door and shouted. Because they did not receive any answer, they went back.

  Eylül unlocked the door and she saw Jessica and Victoria, who stayed in 333 numbered room, in front of her. She said to the girls sleepy ‘Hello girls’.

  -’Are you available? Jessica asked, showing her 32 teeth.

  -’Sweetie, Elis is sleeping now. She is very tired.’ Eylül said being based on the door, one of her eyes was closed.

  -’We thought to jaw. We were bored.’ Victoria said.

  -’If Elif wake up, I call the room a little later. Sorry about that, girls. If she does not wake up, we should meet tomorrow.’ Eylül said yawningly.

  -’It is not important. We meet tomorrow night.’ Jessica said.

  -’Good nights’ Victoria said.

  Eylül closed the door, but Elif had already waked up.

  -’Who was came?’ Elif said, one of her eyes, too, was closed.

  -’Who can it be? Girls In three, three, three’ Eylül said taking her towel and bathrobe enticingly.

  -’What did they want? Elif said drawing quilt towards her face.

  -’They had come to chat, but I said to them that you had been sleeping.’ Eylül said.

  -’Would you like invite them? The time is 21:30. We missed the lessons in the school.

  -’Ok, sweetie. You call them. I will have a bath.’ Eylül said.

  -’I will say to them that they will come in an hour later. I need to have a bath, too.’ Elif said, taking her head inside the quilt.

  Jessica was a girl, who was 170 tall, had long wavy hair, chesty and green eyed. She had been studying at decoration department of the university. Jessica was singleton of a family from California and her parents had not divorced, but they were been living separated. This year was her second year at the university. Also, Victoria was a girl, who was 20 years old, 1,65 tall, had black short hairs, brown eyed. She had been studying the same department with Jessica, but different classes. Her parents were active in real estate. This year was her second year, too.

  Both of them were good girls, but when it came to boys, both of them were stagers, too. They had darlings, who left them the dormitory by a car. All dormitory saw that they changed their darlings like changing the shoes.

  When it was 10:30, the door of the 13 numbered room was knocked. Of course, Jessica and Victoria came in.

  -’Welcome’ Elif said.

  ‘You can sit down the beds, you want, girls. Make yourself comfortable. I am ordering something for us from the canteen. What would you like to drink?’ Eylül said winking at Jessica.

  -’We will not drink something from the canteen. Sometimes you make Turkish coffees. We want to drink it. You tell our fortunes, too. You told Kelly’s fortunes the last day, and all you said have come true.’ Victoria told.

  -’Ok, I am making Turkish coffee at once. You have announced me like a fortune teller. On the other hand, I have been making a lucky shot. I will not drink it. Would you like to drink Turkish coffee, Elif?’ Eylül said turning to Elif.

  -’Yes, sweetie. But my coffee should be much sugar as usual.’ Elif said, taking the film CD, which Eylül have rented.

  -’I am making threesome coffee. I will order something for me from the canteen. I ask for the last time. Are you sure that you do not want to order anything from the canteen?’ Eylül asked.

  All of the girls answered laughingly ‘We are sure.’

  The time was 02:00. The coffee had been drunk, told all fortunes, and watched comedy film, which Eylül had rented.

  -’I feel myself like a death.’ Elif said laying her bed.

  -’Tomorrow is day of the rest. Never mind, sweetie. Come on, elongate your cup, too, I will tell your fortune. I wonder what I will see in your cup.’ Eylül said.

  Elif got up from her bed. She handed her cup, which she had closed on the table, and elongated it Eylül.

  -‘Here I am very curious what you'll see,’ Elif said excited manner.

  - ‘Let's make a wish,’ Eylül, with a smile.

  - ‘Well. I kept ‘Elif said.

  -‘It opened very difficultly. Your wishes will come true, lady. Let's see what is inside there?‘ Eylül said.

  Elif and Eylül would often call each other each other named lady. This was a special appeal, which was used among themselves.

  - ‘There is a vey large edged eye at the bottom of the cup.’ Eylül said.

  - ‘Eye blow itself,’ said Elif, laughing.


  - ‘You get into a crowded environment. Dancers. There are people, who are playing the piano. And guess what I saw? ‘Eylül asked.

  - ‘Just say it. Or I will burst with curiosity. ‘Elif said.

  - ‘I have a crown on your head. You have put on a very nice dress. But it is very complicated. In one place there is a boy dark-haired and on the other side there is a blonde haired boy. But these are unlikely to Gökhan. I do not know, there are two babies, such as two twins of the same age. On the other hand, there is a single blonde baby in her arms blonde. All nested anything else, I will look at its plate, my dear, ‘said Eylül.

  - ‘Well,’ said Elif, looking at Eylül in amazement.

  - ‘Look. I will see the crown on the plate, too. Do you see it?’

  - ‘Yes. I saw it. I wonder what it crown?‘ Said Elif, thoughtful way.

  - ‘Of course, the crown of the 1st. What else could it be the crown. This contest is yours absolutely, darling, ‘she said with a wink to Elif.

  - ‘How nice it would be. I'm not very hopeful, ‘Elif said.

  - ‘Why not, my dear? You do not think so… I'll take a carbonated water from the refrigerator. You want to?‘ She said getting up out of her bed.

  - ‘Yes. I want it, too, babe, ‘Elif said.

  Eylül took two strawberry carbonated waters in mini refrigerator. After she opened the tubulures of them, she elongated one of them to Elif.

  - ‘Bon appetite babe,’ Eylül said.

  - ‘My favorite drink is this one, I think that the carbonated water with strawberry had been fond of.’

  - ‘There had been the last two, we should buy them tomorrow.’

  - ‘Yes. We are free all day.’

  - ‘That was certainly a crown. This is contest's crown. What else could it be the crown?‘

  - ‘Are you still there? I will not win the competition and you, too, will buy a crown for me from a toy seller. In my opinion, you saw it in the cup. That the princesses wear it.’

  - ‘Yes. Why I did not think. Perhaps, you will meet a prince, who will stay in the hotel in the camp.’ Eylül said in a serious tone.

  -’Are you crazy? Will the prince look at me? Also, what the prince will make in the hotel, which we stay. He would look for me. Excuse me!’ Elif said, laughing like a hyena.

  - ‘He is there by the accident. Maybe, you fall in love each other. You marry later. Why not? You have not a lack of girls who married princes. You are more beautiful and better than all of them. You are unfair to yourself.’

  - ‘OK. I have cried uncle. You win. ‘Elif said.

  - ‘Do you know what I am doing now?’ Eylül said, giving Elif a coon look.

  - ‘I do not know. I have no idea.‘

  - ‘I will look for handsome princess, who suit you, in the internet.’

  - ‘If the princes have prince friends, you look for yourself one of them. We are both married with princes. Now I do not know what makes us our families, ‘said Elif entering into bed.

  - ‘You do not believe in me, have a nice sleep,’ Eylül said.

  After 2 hours

  - ‘Elif, immediately get up. Come on, wake up, Elif. Please get up, ‘Eylül said.

  - ‘What is it dear,’ said Elif towards Eylül in semi-comatose state to open his eyes half-unconscious,

  - ‘I wrote all the princes. Stand up, please take a look ‘

  - ‘Of Eylül. It is 5 of the morning. I can look at them tomorrow. ‘

  - ‘No, you must look at them now,’

  - ‘OK, I saw the prince in my dreams, I already married. Which ones? ‘Said Elif, rising from bed. She pulled up a chair in front of the computer desk and began to look at photographs of the princes in the world.

  - ‘I wish you could speak,’ Eylül said.

  - ‘Do you want more that I speak them? Let's talk,’ said Elif.

  - ‘What a well?’

  - ‘I do not know. Of course I can not speak. I bring the mail addresses to add their names to the end like mine. Maybe, a prince will accept me. What do you think? ‘

  - ‘You are super,’ Eylül said.

  Elif had added their e-mail addresses writing in different ways the names of the princes till 7 o’clock from 5 of the morning. Elif could not see which e-mail address accepted herself or not because she was more sleepy.

  Noon-13: 00

  - ‘Good morning, dear,’ said Eylül.

  - ‘Good morning,’ said Elif sitting at the computer, studying the incoming email.

  - ‘have you already waked up?’

  - ‘It has been half an hour. I would awake you, but you did to the world.’

  - ‘You are too bad. Is there a princes who accepted ‘

  - ‘I just have one. I think it is real. Because e-mail address is the same name. I do not think he would be someone else ‘

  - ‘you are sleepy because of the prince.’

  - ‘That is not the case. I only looked,‘

  - ‘Come on. Come on, I took this bait. Let's send a message the address, which accepted me ‘

  - ‘I thought what we have been done since the evening. If I tell someone what we have done until now, he / she laugh his/her ass off.’

  - ‘You said that you have found the e-mail of the real prince.’

  - ‘You said that you marry the prince, too.’

  - ‘Oh, never mind. What will we write to the boy? ‘

  - ‘Perhaps that is a girl, who had received e-mail address on behalf of the prince or his enemy. Everybody can be it.’

  - ‘It can be, but you still send at a message’

  - ‘I am writing him ‘how are you?’.’

  - ‘You are super’

  - ‘Should we have the breakfast prepared? I am very hungry,’ said Elif holding her belly

  - ‘I am just calling the canteen,’ Eylül said reaching the money on the nightstand.

  Elif and Eylül sat at the dormitory until the evening that day. After a while, they got bored of waiting for a response from a mysterious e-mail address, prepared, and set off to the store to shop.

  Elif and Eylül had returned the dormitory with bags in their hands.

  - ‘Hi, Lily,’ Eylül said, looking into Lily’s eyes sitting on the telephone table,

  - ‘Perhaps, you had plugged the phone. The boy, named Gökhan, called again, I have been transferring the call to you constantly, but anybody has not answered the phone. You say the boy that he does not call anymore. I feel stuffed.’ Lily said jumping on Eylül.

  - ‘What is she saying?’ Eylül said looking at Elif.

  -’Never mind. Let's go to the room,‘ Elif said. But Eylül was irritated once.

  - ‘This is your duty. You will transfer the calls to us even though he called more and more times, too. If we are not, anybody pay the salary to you.’

  - ‘I will not transfer the call to you’ Lily said, confidently.

  - ‘If you have the guts, you do not transfer it.’ Eylül said moving to Elif, who has been waiting her with the bags on her hands on the elevator door. Then again she turned to Lily and said, ‘Everybody in the dormitory knows that you ignore everything for a pack of cigarettes. Instead you say this, ride and grumble the girls, who have been keeping the elevator.’ Eylül said.

  At that time, Lily was grumbling by herself quietly and Eylül heard it. Eylül and Elif turned towards the stairs giving up waiting the elevator. Eylül said turning to Elif ‘She grin everyone showing her teeth. On the other hand, she pulls her face to us. It seems as if we have done something to her. You do not think so that we do not knot that you allow the girls, who has escape from the dormitory and do not ignore the girls, who have taken the males to their dormitory rooms.’ Eylül was shouting. Lily heard these words of Eylül, but she could not say a single word.

  - ‘Enough is enough. Everybody has a point in the patience. Eylül said.

  - ‘You have done very well.’ Elif said turning to Eylül.

  - ‘It is too boring,’ said Elif, she was watching to the city leanin
g against the glass room overlooking the city of Los Angeles. ‘I remember the first day, which I have been come to this city, too, I was very excited.’ She added.

  - ‘I do not want any, too.’ Elif said pressing the button of the computer on the table.

  ‘Maybe, I have e-mail. What do you say?’ She asked.

  - ‘I do not think that an answer has come. The discussion downstairs has got my nerves. I cannot think any good thing now, dear.’ Eylül explained looking at the computer screen.

  - ‘Yes, is there any answer?’ Elif asked.

  - ‘I hope,’ Eylül answered.

  - ‘Yes, there is an answer. Eylül look at it, there is an answer.’ Elif screamed in the room.

  - ‘Oh my god, what is writing,’ Eylül said.

  - ‘He has written ‘Who are you’. What should I write as an answer, dear?’

  - ‘I do not know that’

  - ‘Look now what I say but laugh.

  - ‘Ok’

  - ‘I want to meet you because I married with you in my dream.’

  - ‘It is very funny. You write it, darling,’ Eylül said, she was laughing sitting on her bed.

  - ‘What are you laughing? I have sent it. What will he answer?’

  - ‘Maybe he does not know English. You would write so long. You will frighten the boy. As marriage.‘

  - ‘you are very killjoy, I can not imagine not our faces if he does not answer,’ said Elif, she was laughing herself, too.

  - ‘you have already started to change your color.’

  - 'Look at yourself’ At this time, it appeared ‘received an e-mail letter’ on the screen.

  - ‘He had written ‘It is very interesting’. Also, he asked my name and he had written that the person, who I have looked for, was not him. Elif said returning to Eylül.

  - ‘You did not say who you look for that. That is certainly a prince.‘

  - ‘A new message arrived,’ said Elif immediately by clicking on the message,

  > writes. I do not understand anything. I do not think this is the prince. I think someone makes fun of us, ‘Elif said.

  > I wrote. We sill see, will he write an answer?’ Elif said.

  - ‘Well, dear,’ Eylül said looking at the screen in a locked.

  -15 Minutes Later-

  - ‘He does not answer,’ said Elif, bored,

  - ‘he got a big head,’ Eylül answered with a grin.

  -’Never mind. Will we wait to his enjoy send the message. Let's have dinner. Then we sleep, there are already in school tomorrow. It will be a great day, ‘Elif said.

  - ‘I also think that. You think about the time is that Gökhan watch you on Television.’

  - ‘I do not care Gökhan. I liked the chat with the prince. If it is not true, I will open a new page in my life hereafter.’ Elif said, in a state of self-confidence.

  - ‘Now you are talking. If I knew I would make this chat with the prince,’ Eylül said, she was still going on laugh.

  - ‘Now I believe that we're crazy. Do you know?‘

  - ‘This prince is our shared secret.’

  - ‘Let's go to the canteen, I am very hungry, after we should look at if there is an answer to our e-mail or not’ Elif said, rising from her chair,

  - ‘Well, my dear. Let's go. I can eat everything now, ‘Eylül said opening the door of the room.
