june 16, 2002.
the wee hours of the early morning.
pacha.
london.
once upon a time . . .
erica and lindsay are bored.
they've been at a pretty cool club (pacha) for some time now, but they're out of money and they're tired out and they're ready to go home. they're desperately trying to make it thru till the tube opens cos they don't have money left for a cab. just a couple more hours, they keep telling themselves. they're sitting around looking really very bored and very moody. enter ben.
ben is a complete contrast to this sad couple of girls. he's happy, hes smiley, he's friendly, and he's dancing. it's his birthday and he's celebrating it.
ben had invited a huge group of friends out with him that night, including his sort-of-new housemate adam. normally adam said no to london invites and this was the first he'd headed into town for fun and frolics.
erica and lindsay notice this really happy guy, and a few of his really happy friends and figure, why not speak with him -- some of his happiness might somehow be shared! and to their pleasant suprise -- it was. well, not initially.
they chatted with ben for a bit then were feeling somewhat better, but not fantastic. . . adam came up to erica and said something along the lines of, "i suppose you're sick of getting chatted up by guys like me" and erica replied with something like "yes".
to be contd
finally, the time came for the club to close! lindsay and erica made a beeline for the exit so that they could be the first ones on the tube to get home. they went outside the club and hung out on the pavement awaiting anxiously for the doors to open.
lo and behold, ben and his buddies walk by. he's all like, "you girls do know it's sunday right?" and we're all, "yes." he's all like, "you know the tube doesn't open till later on sundays" . . and we're all, "oh no!" he was heading over to a friend's place who lived close by and invited us over so we didn't have to sit on the side of the street waiting for the tube. we gladly accepted.
adam was also at this house. erica and adam spent some time chatting with eachother. ok, maybe LOTS of time. before they knew it it was properly sunday and they'd talked eachother's ears off and throats dry and adam got a cab to take erica and lindsay to their garden property in north london.
and they lived happily ever after.
