“And then he just hung up!Isn’t that rude now?”finished Dee her story to her friend as they walked to their shared appartement.”Daphne?”she said, waving her hand in front of Daphne’s face.”Anybody in there?”
Suddenly Daphne stopped walking and ran over the street, paying no attention to all the cars to the other side.”Oh dear”sighed Dee as she saw what attracted Daphne’s attention.”Not again.” She crossed the street and walked over to her friend who admiringly examined a beautiful black Audi TT.Daphne had a funny fascination for cars.”You know, this odd hobby is gonna kill you someday.” “Probably, yes.”answered her mate, not taking her eyes of the car. Then she stretched grinning, and reached into her pocket. “Oh no, you’re not thinking what i think you’re thinking, are ya?”
Daphne nodded.”If you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking I’m thinking, yes.Are you gonna join or what?”she replied, while she carefully pushed the little ironthread into the car’s lock.With a soft click, all locks on the car opened.Dee sighed.”I guess I have no other choice. I don’t want you to crash yourself, though I don’t know why I bother.You will in time anyway.”
But just as the both of them wanted to enter the car, two figures came up the lonely road, heading towards the car.”Oh no!”whispered Daphne.”What are we gonna do?”
Dee thought quickly, before a crazy idea popped up in her head.”In the trunk!Then you’ll get to ride anyway, you idiot.”
Daphne cast an evil glance at her mate, but there was no more time and they climbed into the trunk.
J and Sean walked towards J’s car calmly.”It was a good party, don’t ya think?”asked J. Sean nodded.”Yeah,but I’m dead tired now.I really wannna catch some sleep before seeing those three hyperactive morons tommorrow.” J had to laugh at that, and they arrived at the car in a good mood. J tried to turn his key in the lock, before exclaiming:”Fool I am! I forgot to lock the car.We’re lucky it’s still here!” He didn’t know how true that was…
After a fifteen minutes, the lads arrived at their house. “Sean!Wake up, then you can go sleeping.”Said J, not realising how silly that sounded.They both got out and Sean started towards the door, but J stopped him.”Wait!Here, can you open the trunk?There are some tapes inside I need.”
Sean shrugged.”Sure.”He grabbed the keys from J and opened the trunk.”Erm, J?Do you tend to keep girls in your trunk?”
“What?Of course not!What a silly ques…What are you doing in my trunk?”he demanded, seeing Daphne and Wendy coming out.”Well you know..it’s all..Daphne you explain”started Wendy.Daphne shrugged.”You came back too early.”she said bluntly. J started to grow red.”What!Were you two going to steal my car!”
“Me?Of course not!I’d have returned it without a scratch!I ain’t no criminal!”replied Daphne offended.”Joyriding is as much a crime as stealing!”shouted back J, all angry now.
“Do you know you’re really sexy like this?”said Dee to J stepping closer to him. J’s head grew even hotter at that, almost exploding dangerously.”Wait, wait”said Sean.”They wanted to joyride your car , they didn’t because we came, so nothing happened, now we can all go to sleep.”
“No way!”shouted J.”I’m taking them to the police!They’re criminals!”
Sean sighed.”Can’t you just take their names and address?Then we’ll think about it again tomorrow.”he answered.”That’s an excellent idea!”joined in Daphne.”There’s no need to get all steamed up about it!”added Wendy, still not taking her eyes off of J.Sean actually started to like these girls. J took a deep breath.”Who are you?”he demanded from Daphne.She laughed at him.”Marilyn Monroe.”she answered “and I live in the Hilton, room 555.That enough?”
J sniffed. “i’m taking you to where you live. Then I’ll be sure.”He didn’t add he didn’t want anything to happen to them ‘cuz he began to admire the courage of the girls and was already half-convinced not to pursue the matter.
Barely thirty minutes later the four guys and girls stood in front of the girls’ flat…or actually,where it had been, cuz it was burning. A person from the firedepartement immediately approached them as they stepped out of the car.”Miss LeFay and Miss Lamar?”he asked.”Does this woman indeed belong with you?”
“Hi girls!”said Tamara happily seeing her friends.
“Now you’ve really done it this time, Tam.Setting our house on fire?You shouldn’t do that you know.”chided Daphne gently.”Now where are we supposed to live?”added Dee, and just then the fireman stepped into the conversation.”In a few days you can live here again miss, there’s only smoke damage in the appartement,only the basement’s burned out.”
“Too bad”muttered Tamara, and the man cast her a disbelieving glance before continueing:”And perhaps the gentlemen here will help you out for the night?”
“We don’t belong with them”hurried Sean to say.
“Oh Seany!”exclaimed Dee, pretending to be hurt”However can you SAY that?!”she said, putting her arms around the neck of a stupefied Sean. Seeing his mates’surprised face, J could do nothing else than bursting out in a helpless fit of laughter.”You girls are gonna kill me!Sean, it’s not very gentlemen-like if we don’t help out the ladies in need, is it?Come on, I’m sure we can find you a spot on the couch, though I think it’ll be a bit crowded in the car.”
THAT was an understatement.
Still dozed with sleep, J went out of his bed to open the door for the lads as he heard the doorbell. Indeed it were Ritchie, Abs and Scott. They walked into the kitchen, where they were greeted by Daphne.”Hi J!”she said cheerily.She had the most annoying habit of actually being happy in mornings.”I’ve been as free to fix some tea.” “Ah”he replied.”That’s great.I’m sure we can even find some food in here..Daphne, right?”
“Yup, that’s me”she answered, just as her both other mates and Sean came into the kitchen.”Close your mouth”Dee said gently to Abs.”It makes you look like an idiot.”
Finally, Rich was recovered enough to say what all three thought:”Wha’ on the bloody earth ‘ave yer been doin’, crazy freaks?”
