Chapter 4

Harry and his girl…

Eric took a step forward and greeted his mate. Then he shook the girl’s hand.

Eric: Hi I’m Eric.. I heard a lot about you already.

Bette (smiling brightly): Only good stuff, I hope! I’m Bette..

Eric: Of course, of course! Come and meet my girlfriend, Tina (proud)

Finally Tina took a step forward and shook hands with Bette.

Tina: Hi nice to meet you, I’m Tina.

Bette: Likewise, I’m Bette.

The first impression both of them had was that the other couple was in a solid relationship and that maybe this date wouldn’t turn out to be a disaster if they just took the time to get to know each other.

After the introductions they decided to take a ride in the ferris wheel first because they were already there. Then they could go and see the other attractions at the fair.

During the ride they talked about what attraction they would take next. The boys wanted to explore the rollercoaster, but Bette and Tina didn’t feel like it.

Tina (smiling): I already found my mate, I see. Not everyone loves G Powers, you know. I certainly don’t! The feeling I get in my stomach makes me sick…

Bette: Me too! I would go in if Harry had to go alone otherwise, but now you boys can go without us.

Harry (winking): I wouldn’t mind you cling to me

Bette: Haha, behave!

Eric (pouting): Alright, we’ll go alone. That way the two of you could get to know one another.

They walked to the rollercoaster together and Tina gave Eric a kiss before he took his place in the row.

Tina: Be careful, okay?

Bette (smiling): Wow, the two of you are so cute together!

Tina (smiling): Thanks

They walked to one of the stands and ordered two cokes. While drinking they walked over to a flower container and sat next to each other so they could see the rollercoaster. At first there was an awkward moment where both didn’t know what to say, but Tina decided to take the first step…

Tina: So, tell me something about yourself?

Bette: Well… euhm I’m 18 years old and Harry and I have been together for five months now. I like art and I’m studying art history right now. What about you? How long have you and Eric been together?

Tina: We’ve been together for 7 months now. I’m 17 years old, going on 18. I’m studying film. On Saturdays I work at The Planet. You know that place? It’s a bar in West Hollywood, really cosy and open for everyone, young, old, gay, straight, it doesn’t matter.

Bette: Oh wow, cool job! I’ll come visit you sometime, together with Harry.

Tina: How did the two of you meet?

Bette: We met at a disco. I was dancing and he was bumping his ass into me, it felt good and we danced the whole night away. After that he brought me home and I invited him in. We slept together and we are a couple ever since. What about you and Eric?

Tina: My parents introduced us at the Christmas ball at my dad’s work. He is the son of a colleague. We started dating and I just love the fun we have. His company makes me really happy.

After talking for a little while Harry and Eric came back and they walked around till they saw a haunted house. They got in and the girls screamed and clinged at their boyfriends.

Tina: Oh my god! My heart is racing…

Eric: Oh come on baby, it’s all fake!

Bette and Tina came along just fine and the four of them really enjoyed their time together. At the end of the evening Harry said that they had to do it again soon. They all agreed to keep in touch and they exchanged cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses so they could talk via IM.
