Mirror, mirror, part 2
Erwin and Kevin were outside, busy unloading the van.
Get out of the way ladies, otherwise you'll end under the couch instead of on it.
After an hour of lifting furniture and boxes with all kinds of content, the stuff finally reached the appartement.
Kevin and Erwin started putting the things back together again that were taken apart to make it able to transport them. Nikkie and Soraya were busy unpacking the boxes.
Don't you need lamps? Erwin asked from the bedroom, where he was putting a bed together.
No, I will wait untill it's light dummy. Off course I need lamps.. I will take Nikkie to buy a couple at the indoor market nearby. They have got all kinds of stuff, and they aren't too expensive. You know what the rent is of this small palace? And while saying that Soraya rolled her eyes.
Damn, Kevin thought while he was looking at Soraya. She's so good looking, I would love to kiss her, but she is not willing to go in any relationship right now.
You girls go already, Erwin said. Kevin and myself can't use the distraction any longer. We have to get working now otherwise you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight.
Appearantly this was the sign the girls where waiting for.
We'll bring cold beer back home, Soraya said, who already was standing at the frontdoor.
Nikkie hurried te keep up with her. Shopping! She shouted.

The girls stepped into the blue Volkswagen that Nikkie had borrowed from her dad. Soraya turned on the radio, and instantly John Bon Jovi started shouting he wanted to lay her down on a bed of roses. Soray made a face, jesus, what the fuck? Bon jovi? Gross. She started laughing. Old fart rock, Nikkie joked, hey Soraya, let's become dykes. Soraya started laughing grasping for breath.
Yeah, let's do that, I love fish.
They both cried tears from laughing.
You are really crazy as Hell, Soraya shouted, sweet, but batshit crazy.
And again they started laughing.
The darkblue Volkswagen turned onto a parking lot. It was weekdays, so it wasn't too crowded, they could easely find a parking space. Nikkie parked the car as near to the entrance as she could.
This is where they sell the good stuff, she said sounding like a junks searching for dope. And then serious, that dragon in my room, you know? I bought it right here.
No strange statues, Soraya said. Otherwise my mother won't set one foot in the house. You know how she is, no religious symbols, nothing mystical, no African shit, you know, Voodoo fear. Soraya laughed again.
Yeah, she's weird too, Nikkie laughed. Come on, let's shop our brains out, and she jumped out of the car.
They passed several stands of merchandise, and bought a couple of lamps. This will do, Soraya said. I also want some candles and a mirror to put in the hall.
Nikkie was standing beside her, holding four lamps. Candles? Are you sure? Your mother and candles, she's not too crazy about them.
I know, but I want to have some candlelight once in a while, I think that's cozy, don't you?
Absolutely, Nikkie said, I love candles, but your mother is scared of them. Nikkie warned again.
As long as they are not black, and in front of a mirror, she'll be fine. She was determined to get some candles and Nikkie knew there was no way to change her mind.
While Nikkie ans Soraya were talking about candles, an old lady was watching them. Now the girls were silent for a moment, she took her chance.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help hearing you talking about a mirror, am I correct?
We id, Soraya answered amazed.
I got a really nice one here, the lady said. I am certain you will love it.
Nikkie wanted to stop Soraya from following that old woman, but before she knew it, Soraya dissapeared behind an old curtain that was hanging in the stand.
