Approx. 7 minutes into 2006
Mr Swedish dude no.1: hello!
marlina looks at me. i look at her. hmm…..
us two: "hello..!"
Mr Swedish dude no.1: Do you happen to have any napkins?
….napkins? oh..there..on the counter. right. napkins.
he was in turqoise blue. and has the cutest grin. i see marlinas grin too. and its growing wider. tsk tsk tsk.
the fellas’ kinda drunk. he dropped more than half of the napkins in the packet on the floor. and shoots off into oblivion.
"what the heck was that eh marls?"
marlina shrugs.
"Heelo again!"
both of us turned. and there it was again the mass of turqoise blue.
"happy new year ladies!"
i look at marlina. marlina looks at me. i see a dangerous glare in her eyes.
"happy new year!" we said together.
"are you girls having a good time?"
are we having a good time?…hmmm. i suppose now we are. heh heh.
suddenly another voice bursts out of nowhere.
"Hello! happy new year!"
it was Mr. Swedish dude no.2. i had to crane my neck 90 degrees all the way up to only get a glimpse of his chin. luckily, he can bend his neck 90 degrees all the way down. aahh…so he has a face. nice eyes. very nice eyes.
oh…i see marlina s getting into a very comfortable conversation with Mr. Swedish dude no.1. niceee. heheh. very niceeee.
Mr. Swedish no.2: "so..where you from?"
i looked up and smiled. hmmm. this is going to be a long night.
…and the rest is history.
