Katti woke to the morning sun coming thru the window beating down on
her face. Trying to block out the light she rolled over into the pillow burying
her face against the bright light. Ummmmmm she groaned. Awake now
she laid there with the thoughts of the night before in her head. Making up
her mind before falling to sleep, Katti was going to stay off the computer for
a while. After all it wasn't as if she didn't have something to do or at least
she could find something to do.

Three days later, and it seemed like hundreds of hours instead of the 72 she
faced, Katti was a nervious reck. She couldn't do it. Perhaps she could just
get on and change her nick. Perhaps she would just talk to AnAngel. Something
after all she was going crazy here. Decideing to join IRC, Katti clicked the
provider account waiting for it to dial in, then she opened MIRC. When she
identifyed her nick memoserv came on and there was a notice that she had
17 messages. Katti never had a message before. She wasn't sure how really
to read them. Yet how hard can they be to figure out. /msg memoserv help
there that should do it. A list of options came up. Then she found the one
that told her to request a list. Typing /msg memoserv list, immediately a list
came up. One after another 1 someguy 2 someguy 3 someguy etc etc.
Katti was over come with the messages, reading the commands again she
typed /msg memoserv read 1.

I have to talk to your right away. Please be on here tonight.
/msg memoserv del 1
/msg memoserv read 2
Katti are you angry with me. I am searching for you girl don't do this to me.
/msg memoserv del 2
/msg memoserv read 3
Katti I am desperate to talk to you. I need you girl don't just close me out
like this.
/msg memoserv del 3
/msg memoserv read 4
Katti girl I have to talk to you, there is so much to explain and tell you. If
you don't want me to talk to you after I will understand.
One after another she read the memos......and deleted them.
Coming upon number 15
/msg memoserv read 15
Ana bahabik ya bint.
/msg memoserv del 15
/msg memoserv read 16
In case you didn't understand it I LOVE YOU KATTI GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
Katti couldn't delete the message. She couldn't move. Reading it over and over her
heart was pounding. What did this mean. She was glad and sad at the same time.
How could he love her. And what about his wife and children. How did this happen.
Did she lead him to beleive that she felt that way. And did she.  With her hands
shaking she typed /msg memoserv read 17
Did you hear me Katti girl I love you, please for god sake just answer me tell me to
get lost anything just don't leave me in the dark.
Without deleting anything more she closed the IRC.
Sitting there she kept telling herself that is was crazy. How? Noway, it was perhaps
their custom to love her like a friend or a sister. After all he didn't know anything
about her. He thought she was single and had never been in love. Katti had heard
many stories about Arabs and their ways.  Sitting there the clock ticked away the
minutes, it was well after midnight when she moved from her chair in front of the
computer. Walking to the window, gazing out into the moon lite night. The stars
were glittering the sky, the night air was warm and sweet and the aroma of a bakery
making the morning loaves filled her nostrals. Katti closed her eyes, she enjoyed
talking to someguy, that was a fact, yet she didn't even know his real name.
She had no ideal if he was tall or short. For god sakes he was a married man what
right did she have to even think of him.

Yet as the one oclock hour approached Katti's anziety grew, and she went to sit
back at the desk in front of the computer. Opening MIRC, she watched at the
screen came to life. Before she could join any channel, he was there, the small
box glowed red as she stared at it. Neriious she clicked open the window.
<someguy> Ohhhh my god you are here finally. I can't beleive my eyes.
Katti, I have missed you so much.
<Katti> well I have missed you to.    (Then Katti paused in thought.)
<someguy> Katti are you still there.
<Katti> yes I am here.
<someguy> Katti listen I have so much to talk to you about, and I don't know
where to start. Can I please call you. If you give me your number I will call you
right now.

Again Katti paused
<Katti> I don't feel that is a good ideal right now.
<someguy> Listen Katti, I just wanted to hear your voice while I explained
everything to you. There is so much please Katti trust me.
<Katti> Trust you? I don't understand. I think we should just stay here and
talk.    ( Katti's heart was beating so fast she thought it came into her finger
tips and out in her typing.)
<someguy> Alright Katti, whatever you like. I will try to explain here but
you may not understand.
<Katti> For god sakes just talk and tell me what you want to say. I think this
is going to be hard for us both.
<someguy> Alright Katti, here goes. Katti I love you, I don't know when or
how it happened.
<Katti> What are you talking about?
<someguy> shhhhhh Katti let me finish. If I am going to do this it must be
now.
Katti was sweating, why the hell she was, would be the 10,000 question.
<Katti> Alright go on.
<someguy> Well !
