Chapter 21
Dunk opens the door. "Ladies first."
Maryan, Beatrice and Nicky go in. When I want to go in, Lee quickly steps in in front of me.
"Hey!" I say and punch him.
"Dunk said 'ladies first'. You're not a lady," Lee grins.
"And you're not a gentleman. Because gentlemen let everybody go in before them. Like Dunk," I say and pull Dunk in behind me. Lee punches me.
"Oi, stop hitting her mate," Dunk protects me and puts his arms around me.
"I know why Lee's so annoying," I grin.
"Don't say a word," Lee warns me.
"Lee's in l�" I say. Lee starts hitting me again.
"AAAHHH," we hear some girls scream. We quickly turn towards the noise. It's Nicky, Beatrice and Maryan who screamed.
"Oh my God," I call out. Four guys are walking towards us. I turn around at Dunk and Lee.
"Yes, that's the surprise," Dunk smiles at me. He pushes us towards the four guys: Tim, Jamie, Spike and Bas, the band Di-rect.
"Hi," they smile. Beatrice and Nicky are speechless.
"Hi," Maryan says shyly.
"Hi," I grin. "Say something, you morons," I grin at Nicky and Beatrice.
"It's the first time today that they're silent," Lee laughs.
"Hi, I'm Iris," I say and kiss the four guys on their cheeks. "And this," I say and put my arms around Beatrice and Nicky's shoulders, "are your biggest fans, Nicky and Beatrice. They're my best friends. They're crazy," I grin.
"And cute," Spike grins at Nicky.
"Definitely," Tim grins at Beatrice.
"And who's this sweetie?" Jamie asks Maryan.
"I'm Maryan," she smiles and kisses Jamie and the other three, Nicky and Beatrice do the same. Dunk and Lee greet the guys.
"Could you find this place? No problems?" Tim asks them.
"Eeeerm," Dunk says.
"I had to ask for directions," I grin.
"Because Duncan got a bit distracted," Lee grins.
"Why are you looking at me? Was it my fault?" I ask with an innocent look. Lee and the girls start laughing out loud.
"And why did y�u have to ask for the directions?" Bas asks.
"Because she wanted to. She always wants to be the smartest one," Lee grins.
"Hey!" I call out and hit him on his arm. "Because I'm the only one who speaks Dutch. I �m Dutch," I say to the Di-rect guys.
"Ooohhh. That's how you all know about Di-rect. Where are you girls from?" Tim asks.
"I'm from Romania," Beatrice says.
"I'm from the UK," Maryan says.
"Like you guys," Tim asks Dunk and Lee, who nod.
"And I'm from Hong Kong," Nicky says.
Spike wistles. "That's far away."
"Let's go and sit at the table. Four ladies, four guys. One lady each," Jamie grins badly.
"Uh-uh. S�x guys, four girls," I say. "Hehe, you'll have to share some."
"That's okay, I've got a lady at home," Bas says.
"Than I'll take these two guys," I point at Dunk and Lee.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Bas asks me.
"Yeah, I do," I grin.
"Uh, one of them?" Jamie asks.
"Yes."
"You're constantly fighting with him, even when you came in here," Tim points at Lee. "But you and him are more� I don't know."
"She's with me," Dunk quickly says and puts his arm around me.
"He's one of my best friends," I point at Lee.
"I see. Glad we cleared that up," Tim smiles.
We order some drinks and food. Maryan is the only one who doesn't order beer or wine. Nicky and Beatrice and I get a bit tipsy because we're drinking too fast.
"Taste this wine, it's really good," I say to Maryan and give her my glass.
"Hey, she's underage," Lee says.
"So what? Here you only have to be 16 to drink beer or wine," I shrug.
"Yeah, but back home�" Lee protests.
"Let her, mate," Dunk says softly to Lee.
"What's his problem? Let her drink," Jamie says.
"Watch it Jamie! She's his sister," I warn Jamie grinning.
"Oh-oh. Don't make her drunk, Jamie," Bas grins.
"Or what? He'll hit him?" Spike grins. Oops, they're making Lee angry if they don't watch out. Lee's mood is already getting worse and worse.
"No, he doesn't fight! I'll hit Jamie if he makes Maryan drunk. And I'll also hit you guys if you make Nicky or Beatrice drunk," I grin at Tim and Spike.
"Ooohhh, scary," Spike says sarcastically.
"I think you don't want to fight with her," Bas says.
"No, you don't want that. She'll beat you, believe me, I know," Lee stands up for me. Dunk's grinning badly.
"Does she really fight? And will she really win?" Spike and Jamie ask Dunk.
"I n�ver fight with her. But she'll win from you, yeah," he laughs.
Tim's also laughing now. "I don't think you mean physical fights, do you?" he whispers at me.
"Of course not. I wouldn't knock them down," I grin at him. "Some guys can be sooo dumb," I whisper at Lee. That makes him grin.
Man, I really need to cheer Lee up. I know why his mood isn't very good. Jamie and Maryan are flirting. It must be hard to see your little sister like that. And first Nicky and Beatrice were giving Lee all the attention, but now Nicky's flirting with Spike very badly, and Tim and Beatrice are having a great time together. They're constantly talking and laughing.
Dunk and Bas are exchanging stories about performances where something went wrong. Bas can be very funny. I have to laugh hard about some of his stories, and Lee also thinks it's funny. Lee even begins to tell Bas and me stories. But maybe that's because of all the beer he's having, not because he's having a good time.
"We've got to go and get ready for the concert," Bas says when we've finished dinner. "You want to come backstage?"
"I think they wouldn't mind,"I point at the other girls and Jamie, Spike and Tim, speaking a little louder.
"What?" they ask and all heads turn to us.
"Come backstage," Bas says. I see some really big smiles.
"I don't think Lee likes it," I whisper at Dunk. He shaked his head. We all go outside, the concerthall is near, so we can walk.
"Hehe, this was a great surprise," I say to Duncan and give him a long kiss. "I think you even made three new couples," I grin quietly.
"Yeah, and a sad friend," Dunk replies quietly.
"You couldn't have known this would happen," I shrug.
"I don't think he wants to go backstage. I can go elsewhere with him until the concert starts," Duncan suggests.
"Where? A pub? He'll get more drunk than he already is. No, I'll ask him to go for a walk with me," I shake my head.
"Okay."
We arrive at the concerthall.
"I'm gonna go for a walk, need some fresh air. Wanna come with me Lee?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure," he answers.
"Something wrong?" Tim asks.
"No, just a little headache. We'll be back before the concert starts," I smile. I give Dunk a long kiss.
"You're so sweet. Even thinking of Lee when you're with your best friends," Dunk whispers in my ear.
"Lee's also one of my best friends. Look after the girls for me, I think they've had too much wine," I point at the giggling, flirting girls.
"No problem. I love you."
"Love you too."
"See you later," we say to the others, who go inside the building.
