...Like dreamers do...
Im sitting inside The Kaiserkeller, drinking a coke and watching the band on the stage.
One of the guys specially caught my eyes. He's not exactly handsome, he's pretty.
It's a friday night, 1960, and this is the second time Im seeing this band.
I drink my coke and a guy asks me to dance. We danced to a couple of songs, but this guy seems to be a little to drunk, and he tries to kiss me all the time. I said that it was enough and went back to the bar. The band's taking a break and the guys comes to the bar, ordering a coke mixed with scotch.
-How can you drink that? I ask one guy, wich seems to be the 'leader'. -Ah, it's not that bad. Try, he says and offering me to taste his drink.
-No thanks. I think I'll stick to my coke, I said and took a sip from it.
He doesn't say anything more to me, he's to busy chatting with his mates about some singer.
Another guy, that pretty guy, orders another drink. -Do you want one luv? He asks me.
-Thanks, I said and smiled a bit. I was quite bored by now.
-What did you think 'bout our music? -Ah, it's good, was all I said.
-You seems tired. Want me to follow you home?
I laughs.
-Why? We don't know eachother, and I don't really feel like being raped.
He just shooks his head. -Are you always like this?
-Maybe. -Well, enjoy your drink and our music.
Bye. -Bye bye. Good luck, I muttered and sips my coke.
The guy I danced with tries to flirt again, but I ignore him. Suddenly he's loosing his temper.
-You, you're coming with me understand?? You've been teasing me all night. You're out on thin ice!
I turns to face him. -Im out on thin ice? You better watch it if you don't want any bone in your body broken.
He laughs of sarcasm. -You're gonna break my bones? -Have I said that I was going to break them? What made you think that? Not me, but my boss. Mr Keschmir.
The guy frownes. -Sorry, he says. That always works. Mr Keschmir was my boss down the street. Somepeople seems to be very afraid of him. Keschmir has done terrible things in his life,
I've been working for him the last two years, since I was 15.
But the guy keeps an eye on me. Now that the band stoped playing that cute guy came to the bar again.
-In some better mood maybe? -Not really. --Aye Paul! Wanna join us? -Where are you goin'?
-To that stripclub beside The indra! -Ah IIm coming in a few minutes.
-I know some of the girls there, I said. HHe raises his eyebrows. -Oh really? How do you know them?
-We've worked together, I said quietly. Thhat other guy makes me uncomfortable.
-Oh yeah? Wanna join us?
I laughs. -No thanks... Maybe another time. I think Im gonna stay here for a while, looking at that new band on the stage, and drink a couple of cokes. Then Im gonna head back home.
He smiles.
-Alright then. Well, I'll maybe see you annother time?
-Maybe.
He left and I stayed at The Kaiserkeller in 30 more minutes and then left to go home.
I didn't notice that the other guy left exactly at the same time as I did.
-Aye you! Wait!
I hurried but soon I felt someone grabing my arm.
-Let go of me!
He pulled into some alley and started to rip my shirt of. He slaped me once or twice, or maybe hundred times.
The whole thing ended a while later and I stumbled out from the alley. The guy had already left.
I heard some guys giggle and talking. They were coming towards me. I couldn't stand up anymore. I sunk togther and felt dizzy. -Aye look, who's that? She's been hurt, I heard someone say.
-Shit,she looks like hell. Aye luv, can yoou stand up?
I just cried and was shaking. -I think it's the bird I talked to at the Kaiserkeller, the cute guy said.
-We can't just leave her here, another saiid. -No, we need to take her with us. Luv, we're gonna carry you now.
I didn't respond, I just kept crying. Someone picked me up carefully. I looked up and the last thing I saw before everything went black was a pair of beautiful eyes.
When I woke up I saw the same pair of eyes. They belonged to the cute guy.
-Ello' luv. How are you feeling?
I couldn't speak. I tried but I couldn't.
-I think she's in shock, he said to anotheer guy who were sitting beside me.
-No shit Sherlock, he muttered.
-Be nice George. She's maybe been...You knnow..
-I know.. Ello' luv. What's your name?

I opened my mouth to speak but no sound.
-Im George and that cute face is Paul. Youu think he's cute, dontcha?
That made me blush a bit.
-She blushed. I think that means yes! Georrge said and smiled.
Paul smiled to.
-Well, she's a beauty too... Look at thosee big blue eyes, and that long red hair, Paul said.
-Don't you think I've noticed? Im not blinnd you twit!
-Aye stop it, we have a guest, I heard anoother voice from behind say.
It was the 'leader'.
-Ahh, go and fuck yourself Lennon, Paul muuttered.
-Already did, it wasn't much fun!
That made me giggle a bit.
Everybody looked at me.
-Now look what you did John! Made her gigggle at your stupid remark.
-I can't help it if Im funny, you should ttry sometime, John said and smirked.
That made me giggle again.
-I don't have to try, I am funny!
-Yeah sure you are. That's why we wet our pants every night.
I giggled again.
George giggled a bit too.
-She thinks Im funny.
-Yeah, she maybe has a bad taste when it ccomes to guys.
-I agree with Paul. She thinks he's cute, George said.
I started to laugh, and couldn't stop. That scared the shit outta me.
I laughed so hard and so long I started to cry.
They didn't know what to do. They just waited for me to calm down.
-Pro'lly the shock, Paul said softly.
-No shit Sherlock, John said.
Suddenly I had no tears left, I was just shaking.
Paul pulled me into his arms and held me until I fell asleep.
