CHAPTER NINE

It was a beautiful, silent early Saturday morning. Everybody was still peacefully asleep, dreaming of those unreal things that your own life can’t offer you. The only sounds came from a stray bird and a car or two, probably workaholics who had forgotten the meaning of the word ‘weekend’.

Tina was one of those people spending her time with her favourite hobby – well, recently it came second after kissing Bette – namely sleeping. That was until her cellphone blared my favourite song, which was now no longer my favourite. She couldn’t find the device immediately, which did not improve her mood at all. She couldn’t remember setting her alarm, there was absolutely nothing she had to do today – if she conveniently forgot about the English paper and the French assignment.

Whoever knew her also knew that it was a very unwise thing to wake her up early any morning, especially a Saturday morning.

“Morning, sunshine,” a melodious voice rang in her ears. She sighed and turned over.

“What the hell, Bette? What happened to not contacting me during weekends? You know, those two days we actually have to ourselves and should be filling with making out and have fun?”

“That was last weekend, sweetie pie. I did think about our first date all weekend. Wasn’t this week awesome though? Eric Dumberson did cast me very foul looks when I was holding your hand. I might have a chat with him, making him clear that he better not ogle you as I catched him ogling you a few times.”

“Okay, what do you want?”
