Just when Amir thought things were getting back to normal his phone went off. It was strange that the number that appeared started with 999 area code, he did not believe he knew which location had such a number! He quickly decided to decline considering that he felt he had handled enough strangeness for a Tuesday morning before breakfast!

Tuesday:

After getting off to an odd start Amir was hoping that things would calm down and he would feel more settled. After having breakfast Amir was surprised by a knock on his door. As he walked over he wondered who even knew that he lived in his new residence. He opened the door to a friendly greeting and introduction from the neighborhood animal control officer. Amir told his eyewitness tale of the times he had seen the owl and the officer left and thanked Amir for his time.

Amir felt assured after conversating and hearing that other neighbors were also put-off by the owl sighting last night. It was 10:30 am, and Amir decided to bathe off the weird vibes and get his day going in the right direction.

By 11:00 am, after his shower, Amir found himself watching Earl the Sports Guy Broadcast. Amir only had $904 in his account and had begun to wonder if he made a mistake by moving out to Cauzmic City.

Amir let the whole day slip away, only taking a break from Earl the Sports Guy Broadcast to eat meals and shower again. At 11:oo pm, Amir was out of the shower and decided it might be an okay time for a late-night snack. He did not want to dirty his kitchen and thought that it might be the perfect time to check out the town. Amir thought he might be able to meet some new friends as he waited for his taxi.

Amir asked to be taken to a sports bar in Cauzmic City, once his taxi arrived. Amir arrived, tipped the driver, and entered the Cauzmics City, Sports Zone. Amir felt that the vibe of the bar could be best described as musty. Even though there was not a single person in the bar beside the staff, Amir headed to the bar to order a drink.

Amir tried to chat up the bartender but was harshly rebuked because the employee was hoping to end her shift early, but Amir had ruined that for her! Amir was insulted, feeling lonely, and made a choice to order three strong drinks. After being rushed by the impatient bartender, Amir practically chugged his drinks as fast as he could.

He stumbled out of the bar and into his taxi, allowing a very tired bartender a chance to close the bar. Amir headed home and as he crashed on the bed he realized that his first days in Cauzmic City were not going so well. But as Amir fell into a boozy slumber, his owl friend Hugo appeared outside the window. Although Amir did not wake, Hugo seemed to have different energy than the previous night. Tonight Hugo's vibe brought good fortune instead of fright!

Wednesday:

Today Amir woke up early and after a nice rehydrating shake, Amir felt refreshed. After breakfast in a drink, Amir made a choice to switch things up. The previous days, Amir had stayed in and engaged in at-home fitness. Today Amir would go up and sign up for a membership at the Cauzmic City gym!

After finishing his gym membership registration at the front counter, Amir walked past a woman that made him double-take. She stood out to Amir, and he thought she was very attractive. She had soft chocolate skin with long sexy braids. She was wearing classy, expensive glasses, with designer clothes. Amir noticed the exclusive brands of her shoes and jackets almost immediately.

Amir knew that usually models and actresses wore the same brand as Amir's new crush. Amir figured the gym would be there, but his dream woman was walking away, and out of his life. Amir had to go introduce himself.

Amir introduced himself with a smile. She was clearly important and would not be bothered by every man who comes up to her. She smiled ever so slightly and Amir took it as his signal to pursue. Amir began some light flirting and complimented her smile, even calling her smile perfect. He also mentioned that he believed her eyes to be special and one of a kind.

Amir then tried to impress his new crush by talking about the gym and his own athletic skills and accomplishments. She introduced herself as Naomi and enjoyed his initial compliments. She responded openly and Amir built it up in his head quite a bit. He thought that her smile and openness to conversation meant that Naomi was into him. He wasn't wrong and he wasn't right. Amir wanted to date Naomi and was starting to convince himself that Naomi was just as interested in him.

The truth was that Naomi enjoyed Amir's conversation but was still considering him a friend. Naomi was not the type of girl who was easy or easily impressed. At the end of the conversation, Amir realized that he would have to play the long game but was excited about their first interaction.

After getting her number Amir worked out, showered at the gym, and headed home. Amir prepared lunch for himself and thought about Naomi his whole meal. It may have been because Amir was lonely or it may have been love at first sight, but Amir was OBSESSED with Naomi. It was all he could think about.

Amir went to sleep that night and had a very steamy dream of spending time with Naomi in a hot tub.

Thursday:

Amir woke up feeling energized from his time with Naomi. For Amir yesterday was a great day and he was looking forward to keeping the momentum going. Amir texted Naomi a good morning text and was elated after she texted back quickly. All throughout the day, Amir texted with Naomi. After working out and cooking dinner for himself he decided to text Naomi and ask her to hang out. She agreed to meet and visit the Cauzmic City museum with Amir.

Unfortunately for Amir, the dream date that he had in his head, only existed in his head. They both enjoyed themselves but at the end of the date, Naomi told Amir that she considered the evening a friendly gathering and NOT a date. Not only did Naomi make it clear it was not a date once but by the time the date was over she had told Amir twice.

It was starting to become clear to Amir that Naomi was not interested in him. Amir felt that he had shown too much interest in Naomi too fast and after the date vowed to not contact her again until she reached out to him. Amir went to bed disappointed but still held onto a shimmer of hope that Naomi would text or call him.

Friday:

Amir woke up to a significantly larger amount of followers on his social vine in the morning. By the time Amir dragged himself out of bed and ate breakfast the trend continued. Amir could not believe how many people were following him.

After doing research he discovered that Naomi didn't just have the same brands as a famous person, but turned out Naomi herself was quite the celebrity. There had even been a sneaky paparazzi at the museum who had taken a picture of Amir and Naomi on their NOT date.

Amir was shocked and excited by the news, and article that he had been featured in! The article called him a hunk and mentioned his profession was a personal trainer! Even though Amir was not a personal trainer, there were people on his Social Vine who would pay for him to train them.

Amir began filling up his schedule with clients who wanted to pay the newly semi-famous Amir to train them. He even took a few clients on the same day!

Amir was extremely happy at bedtime. He had made decent money today and it was just the beginning, tomorrow he had double the training appointments!
