The Foreigner

You and Amanda arranged to meet Mustafa at a local coffee shop. He was gruff and wary, looking at the couple across from him.

"I thought you were single," he said accusingly to Amanda.

"I am ... sort of," Amanda responded sheepishly. "My boyfriend, he's ... sick. And it doesn't look good. So we're looking for a replacement for him ... if we need it. So our deal is two weeks, and in a few months, we'll pick a few more to umm... court me." Amanda blushed. Mustafa turned his implacid eyes over to you. You shuddered and retracted a little, making yourself smaller.

"You don't have much manhood left in you, "he said, almost sniffing you. "Those days have almost ended." His eyes flicked back over to Amanda. "I will take you up on the two weeks. But after the first date, your friend will need to stay somewhere else until we have concluded."

"Deal," Amanda said, not even looking at you.
