| CHAPTER 38
The next day, Thursday afternoon I'm going to meet Lee at the airport. I'm in a hurry, because college ended later than I expected. It was a really interesting college thought: about brain surgery and how you can enhance certain brain functions by giving tiny electric pulses through electrodes placed in the brain. I'm at Schiphol airport now, looking for Lee. Aww, there he is! "Oi monkey, over here!" I shout at him. No way I'm gonna call his name, it will turn too many heads! He hears me and I see his face brighten up. He rushes towards me and we hug. "How was your day?" I ask and kiss him on his cheek. He kisses me back and says: "Not very interesting. I worked, and rushed to catch the plane. How was college? What was it about?" "Hehe, it will ruin your appetite when I tell you that. It was about brain surgery, and giving electric pulses in the brain," I grin. "Yuk! Come on, get my luggage," he says and takes my hand and drags me through the crowd. He doesn't have much luggage, I look at it surprised. "It's not much, I know," he smiles. "I hope you've got some clean underwear in there, or you won't be allowed to sleep in my room!" I laugh. "Aww that's okay, I'll sleep in the kitchen, on the couch," he smirks. "Well good luck then! Obviously you haven't lived in a students' house! Our kitchen is always dirty, you don�t' wanna sleep in there," I grin. "Don't worry, I've got clean clothes here, I just didn't bring all the junk girls always need," he laughs. "Oh! We'll see how much time you'll spend at the bathroom!" I call out. He gives me a cheeky smile. "Let's go home, I'm starving," I say and look at the clock. "F*CK! Run Lee, we've got 2 minutes to catch our train!" I call out. He takes my hand again and we start running as fast as we can. He's dragging me along, going right and left to avoid bumping into people. "Turn right, downstairs!" I shout. He turns sharp right and makes me bump into a man. "Sorry," I yell and run on. "Xcuse us xcuse us," Lee shouts and we squeeze ourselves past all the people on the escalator. We manage to get downstairs without getting too many people angry. F*CK! There are two trains waiting to leave! "Left or right?" Lee shouts. "Erm� erm�" I hesitate. "Left!" I shout and we take a last run to the doors of the train. I throw a quick glance on the departure sign. Yes! It is the train to Utrecht! We just jumped in and the doors close behind us immediately. I'm bending forward, my hands on my knees, gasping for breath. Lee looks about the same. When I can finally breath a bit normal, I start laughing. "What?" Lee says curious. "I bet this is the first time in ages that you had to run to catch a train," I laugh my @ss off. He starts laughing loud too. "You're totally right." We both get quiet. Is he really in a bad mood like Dunk said? He seems happy now� he laughed really hard! I see that Lee's thinking too. "Erm� do you have a train ticket?" he asks me. "Yes Lee, I bought a train ticket for you," I say like I'm his mother. "Thanks mum," he grins and gives me a kiss on my cheek. "Let's see if we can find a seat," I say and we walk a long way before we find �ne seat. "Ah good," Lee says and sits down, signaling that I should sit on his lap. "What kind of gentleman are you? Aren't you gonna let me sit?" I frown. "Yes you can sit. On my lap," he answers. "I'm gonna ask Dunk to teach you some manners," I sigh. "You would have sat down on his lap," Lee smirks. "No, he would have offered me the seat, and than I would have said: 'no, you sit down, I'll sit on your lap' ," I say. "So? I'm only skipping the first part! You can sit down on my lap," he grins very badly. I give a deep sigh and sit down. He puts his arms around me. I see some people secretly laughing about us, I grin back at them. Lee didn't see it, or maybe he doesn't realize that everybody here understands English. "So where are we going tonight?" he asks me. "I don't know yet." "You don't have a favorite club or pub?" "Nope, it depends on who I go out with. When I'm with a bunch of my girlfriends, we go to a club, or pub, or whatever, where the most boys are. But I guess we should find a place with lots of girls for you?" I grin. "No! I'm with you tonight, so I'm not gonna hook up with some girl," he calls out. "Really? So what are you gonna do, flirt with me?" I joke. He gives me a typically Lee-smile. "Hey Lee, did you know that I have a boyfriend?" "No really? Who is it?" "Well, his name is Duncan, he lives in London, just like you, and he's a singer." "Really? In a band or something?" "Yeah, in a boyband, with 3 other guys." "Wait a sec, are you talking about Dunk, my mate?" he says with an innocent face. "Yeah, could be," I nod. "D@mn! So I'm too late? Man, the good girls are always taken," he says disappointed. I see that lots of people around us are laughing. "Hey, I have some friends that are single. They're called Iris and Marlou," I grin. He almost chokes, than starts to blush, and than he starts laughing loud. "Sh*t, I wish I could read your mind. You still haven't told me about the dream," I grin. "I'm not gonna tell you about that!" he shakes his head. "Hehe, I really hope you're gonna talk in your sleep again," I grin evilly. Finally Lee realizes all the people are laughing secretly. "Why are all those people laughing?" he whispers at me. I give him a meaningful look. "Us?" he says and his eyes open wide in shock. "Yeah duh! Everybody here speaks English! Why did you think I speak English? Some kind of miracle?" I smile. "Because you're� with us," he says. "Hehe. I already spoke English before I met you, remember? The only new words that I learned are slang, swear words and dirty words," I grin. "Dirty words, eh? What words?" he asks with a naughty grin. Well, he's over the shock very soon! "You've heard Dunk, right?" I say. "Erm� yes," he admits. "Those words," I laugh. "Okay! Those are dirty words indeed!" he calls out. "Did you really think I never heard them from him?" I ask amused. "Erm� I guess I didn't want to think about that," he says, looking out of the window. That makes me think. Could it be that he's jealous of Dunk and I? That he needs a steady girlfriend? Or is it just that he doesn't want to think of his good friends having sex? I try to imagine my friends with their lovers. Lee pops into my mind with some girls he has dated. It's not a bad picture to imagine! Hmmm� wrong example I guess. I try to imagine one of my girlfriends with a lover. Oowww yeah, I don't want to think of that! I understand what Lee meant, I think� |
